Operation Authentic Theatre: Now In Progress

So check it!!!

Hip-Hop heads, theatre enthusiasts, all conscious folk who will be in NYC anytime from Oct.1-17 PLEASE hit up some of these events!!! I went to some last year and they blew me away, inspiring me to take my ode to script and music to another level. This is one of the rare occasions where my financially challenged soul didn't complain about spending money to attend several of these dope shows, cuz honestly I definitely got my money's worth.

I better see or find out some of you were in attendance

Resurgence of Ms. Mel O. Mind

Sincerest apologies for not being in any form of existence the entire month of August. Once my job was over July 31st, a job that consisted primarily of nepotism and bleached sugar coated prejudice, I needed solace so badly that I just screamed to hell with everything!

Not entirely...

First week... relaxed in Myrtle Beach with family that I was never completely close to until the death of my Nana back in June. I actually appreciated the time spent with them because now we are inseparable and I just needed to form those special bonds with family for a change rather than my crew. I shared some poetry (rare experience) and I felt very warm that they support my talents.

Second week... crashed at my cousin's mansion like crib. I felt like a kid from the projects who ain't never been nowhere! I was so taken aback by not only the home but the strong durable work ethic all my older cousins possess that got them to where they are are. I have been encouraged even more to emulate my kin!

Third and Fourth week... I honestly think I can say that I have officially seen every episode of the Golden Girls at least 100 times. The life of a sloth I have come to realize is not the life for me. I felt like a gigantic fat ass who was a slave to junk food and the remote!!! This voluntary exile was pathetic and I knew I could get away with it now only because I won't be able to do it again until December.

Present Day... Now I am in the never ending process of regaining intelligence and awareness of the realities surrounding my post grad life.

Grad school begins Sept. 8- Peace and Love to the undergrad chapter in Queens... Say Hello to Brooklyn!

So ya'll know I try to stay above ground when it comes to the latest music so I going to close out by releasing this lil video I stumbled upon about an hr ago

New Kweli and Hi-Tek... I can dig it (even more so when the album drops)

Talib Kweli + Hi Tek-Reflection Eternal -Back Again-Vid Premiere

SMH Moment: Day of the Sabbath Edition

“If he does not turn to God and does not turn his life around, I am asking God to enforce imprecatory prayers that are throughout the Scripture that would cause him death”

These "spiritually uplifting" words were spoken by Southern Baptist Rev. Wiley Drake during a Fox News interview, and it's targeted towards Obama (Go Figure!)

Is it really necessary for me to comment on this supposed "Man of God's" blatant ignorance?
Nah not really!

Scrumptious Tunes Overflowin the MP3 Plate

And you thought that I wasn't going to consider my boo's album a full serving of scrumptious melodic nourishment? Please!

Dig it- This is part one of the Black Summers' Night trilogy. This particular album, Black, delves into relationship/intimacy deferred (i.e. frigid shoulders, misplaced love, desolation, etc). Anyone who has ever been down these avenues and streets could definitely identify with the dude's scripted pain, frustration, and subtle perplexity accompanied with the soulful, jazzy, and bluesy instrumentation.

Tracks I'm Diggin:

1. Bad Habits
2. Cold
3. Fistful of Tears
4. Playing Possum:



Check it out... and purchase the album that comes with the DVD. 23 minutes of behind the lyric and beat commentary that gets you hooked onto this album bait even more (in my opinion).

Pour a Lil Natural Juice Out

I'm mad late with this post due to preoccupation at work and social outings, but I gotta shout out my supposed uncle M.J.

If I had a dollar the amount of times someone joked about me being kin to Michael because of our shared last name...
I COULD AFFORD MY VERY OWN NEVERLAND RANCH!!!!
NUFF SAID!

PS- Thriller was cool I give you that... BUT Off The Wall and Bad were the best hands down!
