Precious Trailer

Movie Precious, based on the book Push by Sapphire, which Hasha said is hot.

The bad, is that it's going to be released in November! I know. Mad long wait. And that it might only be released in the States.

The good is that we'll have enough time to fundraise to go to Buffalo, and Hasha will have her G2 by then so can drive us all there.

Blame it on the E-e-e-economy

Michelle look a like is great.

"People taking shots of my clothes, want you to know, shouldn't be the focus, but I do look fly though we can all gleam, turn negative thoughts into positive steam"

"I'm not exactly Barack Obama, but I endorse this messaggge, I endorse this message...yeah ee yeah"

And why is a Syler look a like in this?

Classic. And I love that song. You guys no that though. Lol

Going Out, Sneaking In

Group Scenario Two is a little lighter. In this one we role play a situation where a friend is asked by her man to go to a concert featuring "Ms Diva". Some others have to sneak in, but no major confrontations for the Set it Off Ladies.

American Violet Movie

It looks real interesting. I can't believe the cops are doing these fake raids for cash!!! That's some terrorism. No respect for the police system with this one. They keep proving themselves to be pigs!

"I don't need no dad, I got Barak Obama" - Quincy 'iQ' Brown

Young Al. B Sure, Quincy “IQ” Brown, addresses dead beat dads everywhere with his letter and song A Letter to My Father, Al. B Sure:

A Letter To My Father

I’ve been inspired throughout my life by special circumstances and unique experiences. Foremost, I grew up with a family that injected me with unconditional love and enduring confidence. This is my foundation … the family holidays and celebrations with my maternal lineage … supportive smiles in audiences at school programs … guiding hands to complete homework and special projects in the wee hours of the morning.

However, I grew up without my father, an irreplaceable force and influence that was absent in my life. I watched other kids enjoy the embrace of theirs, and I searched for a way to reconcile the meaning of my circumstance.

Despite my pain, I’ve imagined a life as a good son with my father. Baseball … Playing in School Band … Church … All of the things that he would expect his son to do, I’ve done. I’ve stood in front of audiences to receive awards. I heard their applause and praise. But, the accolades have been absent the sound of his clapping hands and encouraging words … his voice that I could distinguish in my sleep. Where has he been?

Now, I reflect on the journey, the pain, the challenges, and the triumphs through this song. I’m reconciled as a man, no longer a boy, in verse. Now, I know that I’m not alone.

Albert Brown, also known as “Al B Sure!” is my biological father, but Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy” has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember. Sean Combs is the person whom I look up to and appreciate as a father. He is the one who help mold me into the person I am today and will always try to live up to his expectations. He has always been supportive of me and I will forever love and respect him. As far as my biological father goes, the “spitting image” is all I have taken from him. Throughout my life, I’ve always wondered about him; Where he was? What was he doing? and most importantly, Was he even thinking about me? The absence of my father has given me a better understanding of what type of man I am going to be. I am grateful for my mom’s love, support, guidance, and for her strength.

To those who share my plight, know that you have a great future … a DESTINY. Take the lemons that you are handed and make lemonade. Your journey is in “A Letter To My Father.”

- Quincy “iQ” Brown

T-shirt Recreation

Just in time for summertime!!!

I remember making t-shirts when I was young!! Here you go. I'm def going to try this one out. it's pretty nice.

Bleaching in Tha Yard

I think it's easy to blame the bleachers, and sure they are being foolish, but I noticed that that the dermatologist and the host were both lighter skinned. And all spoke of bleaching as a means to gain social status whether through work, love interests or whatever.

So what they were saying showed true in the very report. We're still suffering from colourism in our communities and it's not only hollywood, it's everywhere. especially in Jamaica and the west indies. plus obama is half white, which made it easier for him to be 'in' with everybody.

terrible thing though not to love yourself. i don't condone it, but I understand since the same society that tells them not to do it, is the society that oppresses because their complexion is black.

What do you think?

Chris and Rihanna Remake

I know you are all sick of hearing about Chris and Rihanna but I thought this was a good video to check out. It's based on the actual police reports from the night. The end is shocking as it notes that 1 in 3 teens are abused in a relationship.

Explicit Ills looks Ill

Finally movies about our lives!! Gentrification, poverty, health care and rights. Lol. I'm definitely supporting this in the theaters. Will you?

Common's Book Club

Common's set Up a Book Club on his http://commongroundfoundation.com./ Taking notes from Set it Off Ladies???

***

Rapper COMMON has launched an online book club to encourage literacy and creative writing among youths.
The socially-conscious MC, who has previously turned his hand to writing children books, has set up The Corner Book Club on his website CommonGroundFoundation.com.
The site will feature interviews with authors and items to inspire teenagers through the art of storytelling.
Common says, “My mom was a teacher, and growing up she always stressed the importance of education. So when I look back it’s not a surprise for me to use words as a tool to make change, and to inspire children for the future.
“You’ll never stop growing; you shouldn’t. And it’s alright to be a teen growing, but not in height. I’m talking about wisdom, experiences, and self-knowledge.”
