A throwback to ease the tension :::: A Tribe called Quest 'Electric Relaxation'

A Tribe called quest - Electric Relaxation


Much is going on in our country at this time. First we must remember that this country has come a long way from its past. Although we call all agree that it has a long way to go. We must sit down and realize what this country has accomplished so far. I would like to open our hearts to new possibilities. We must grow and not remain in anger, although you have every right to be pissed, every reason to smash up the city that you love and hate just the same. However you have to realize that when the fires burn out you will be living in that litter box. So keep in mind that we must find a more mental approach to police brutality.

I will not preach but trust me I did on Bump Forward and you will find information on how to get some headway into making sure that this (Oscar Grant Killing) does not repeat itself.

'Body of Lies' filled with truth

When you go to the movies you are supposed to be entertained and you should walk away feeling that you have learned something or that you are well entertained. As I am walking out the movies with my girl she leans over to whisper that the movie was not as good as she had hoped. Then I leaned in to say why are you whispering, as I said it with a smile I quickly changed back to what was concerning her with an answer. The dialogue that captured my attention in the film was the last scene which tied it all together. Now it is out of the norm for me to give you the end of a film, but it is one of those rare films in which you are able to get what you are looking for and it does not miss a beat.

So what is that line you ask? The last conversation between Ed Hoffman and Roger Ferris, to me tied together not only the movie but our western view of the Middle East.

Ed Hoffman: Ain't nobody likes the Middle East, buddy. There's nothing here to like.

Rogers response not only opened your thoughts that way of thinking but it also calls the world on its bull shit.

Roger Ferris: That is the problem right there!!!!


That exchange in dialogue not only tied the movie together but it answered my girlfriends statement which followed her question. Did the movie have a plot? I answered of course it it was a very intricate one. Although she asked the question because she felt that the movie did not have a point and it led nowhere. I think she was looking for the big bad ending and did not open her mind up to the fact that a movie like that has no end, but it has  a bridge to life. It is art in its rawest form and I applaud Ridley Scott for doing what needs to be done.


Now I would say head out and check the film out to get a sense of what I am talking about. Before you go just make sure you take someone that catches on quickly or you would be stuck answering the obvious, as I had to (sorry babe but sometime I think you head is in the sand.)

OH WAIT

Did I mention this fine lady is in the movie? Nope so look her up and make sure that we get to see more of her here in the states, and lets pray that she is not typecast. I hate to see an actor limited by bullshit.

2009 3 albums and Prince thinks it is Sades fault.

The smooth wonder himself will be putting out three independent albums and what gets me is that he thinks that it is Sades fault.

Here is what the smooth wonder Prince had to say:

" I am working on a trilogy of follow-ups to my 2007's LP planet Earth because I am sick of waiting for Sade to make a new album".

I agree with the dude. When will Sade drop an new album? What is she waiting on and what should we expect upon her return to the studio?

Until then it seems that you can find the leaked tracks from his upcoming work. However I don't run that type of show so you will just have to find them yourself.

So expect to see his new work in the virtual stores and on the shelves of those retailers that are in full support of his movement.
