Above & Beyond the Color (The Mike Brown Verdict)

Passed Racism Doesn't take 100 days to decide if murder is a crime, it takes 100 days to figure out how to tell people it isn't...... #FergusonDecision — Chris Rock (@ozchrisrock) November 25, 2014 Last night, November 24, 2014, the Ferguson, Missouri Grand Jury announced their verdict in the case of Mike Brown vs. Darren Wilson. In the case of the Mike Brown murder Wilson was not indicted. The country is in outrage once again, protesting, rioting, and social media is "going off." My family asked me if I were going to attend a protest in Atlanta, GA, but my question is what's the point? The reality of the situation is that this is no longer a shock; a police officer gunned down a defenseless man and got off. Yes, this is wrong, there is no way around the situation when an officer who's given certain training procedures does not follow them, but are you honestly surprised.  I will not go to a protest suggesting race issues which we know by now tha

J. Cole Announces New Album

2014 Forest Hill Drive Roc Nation's J. Cole announced his upcoming surprise album release via twitter on Nov. 16, 204. Tweeting the cover art, the name, and the release date... My new album. 2014 Forest Hills Drive. 12/9 http://t.co/gjLq6iB4qo http://t.co/nhyCgP9LE9 — J. Cole (@JColeNC) November 17, 2014 J. Cole once called the savior of hip hop has yet to deliver a platinum album to his fans. His debut album   Cole World   was a disappointment to his fans that knew him from mixtapes like   Friday Night Lights . The sophomore album   Born Sinner   deemed once again worthy by his fans, but still not platinum or a classic. So in my opinion this is the finally straw J. Cole you have to give your true fans that classic album. Drake has   Take Care , Kendrick has   Section 80 , and now you need a classic to officially claim you’re thrown. I believe in Cole, don't let us down again. Alongside of the album J. Cole has a fan contest that will give you a chance

Mockery or Photography? Kim Kardashian Naked on Paper Magazine

Image
That Ass Award I officially claim the year 2k14 of "That ASS." Between Nicki Minaj's Anaconda cover art and Kimy K's Paper cover, that's enough ass for the year. Kim Kardashian crashed the internet yesterday with her front cover issue on Paper Magazine. How do you feel about this? I'm not surprised of this exposure from Kim I mean she has a leaked sex tape, but I wish she was seen for the brains over sexuality. Kim Kardashian is a business and should be acknowledged as such. Hopefully this doesn't confuse the younger generation into thinking that beautiful women should only be seen as a sex symbol. No, I am not against nude photography and I am not judging Kim, but art and sex are different. There is some art that is sexual, but this cover is clearly exploiting just sex. I feel like it was highly unnecessary to grease her already desirable body up to add to the sexual display. Women I just think we should hold our self to a much higher pedestal.
