"Thinkin' of a Master Plan" – Rakim
Wednesday and Thursday night after work I took pictures of the Color Heritage folks and a new Reggae artist.
Friday night I shot a birthday party for Meleni Smith who is a recording artist. Coincidentally, Kevin Powell was also having a party at the club because he’s running for Congress. Like me, you may remember him as the journalist, hip-hop activist and former MTV Real World cast member from the first season.
Maybe its because it was the soundtrack to Q-Tip dying in Poetic Justice, or maybe I’m just a dork, or maybe its just that Stevie Wonder can sing, but this song gets me every time I hear it.
I don’t think it can be avoided, I feel some list-making coming on. I will add this song to a “Favorite Songs to Avoid” list. Lauren Hill’s Ex-Factor will also be on that list, and maybe some Mazzy Star.
What other lists should I make? I’d start a rant about the list of top 10 MCs that MTV just put out, but I’d rather you go here and read the fight already in progress. > nah-right.com
You know where my allegience lies… it’s The R.
I recently watched Behind the Actor’s Studio with Dave Chappelle and it got me excited again.
When is someone going to take me to see Block Party?! I’ve heard it favorably compared to Fade to Black.
Someone needs to buy me this poster!
