New Video :::: Ryan Leslie 'How it was supposed to be'

How It Was Supposed To Be (Military Version) from Ryan Leslie on Vimeo.

Now dont you think from time to time how it was supposed to be? 

Bill Oreilly put in place by Young Jeezy

Altered picture and story found on Bossip

It has come to the point that Bill O'Reilly has got to call it a day. His offenses take on young Hip Hop Culture is becoming quite irritating. Now I am not offended because I have come to expect this from him. What bugs me is that no one takes the time out to school him before he opens his mouth. This time someone is about to school him after the fact. Let's just hope that he learns a thing or two and think twice the next time around.

Here is what Young Jeezy had to say about Bill whatever his name is.

“Damn right! I ain’t never ran, nah mean?” Jeezy told XXLMag.com. “At the end of the day, you’re dealing with cats who think that we as young black men don’t know what it is we do. We entrepreneurs, we came from nothing. If you gotta mispronounce my name to try to be funny and you got a Harvard or whatever education you got, then you’re really showing how ignorant you are.”

“If you didn’t hear what the fuck I said, it’s all good, but you didn’t hear all these people crying in New Orleans,” he continued. “You ain’t know bout the [Oscar] Grant kid that got killed in Oakland, you ain’t speaking on that. You ain’t talking about these ladies out here killing these babies, you worried about what I said.”

Now these are some good points.

What the Bigot?

I have no comment on this. I just needed to share it with the rest of you.

Movie to reconsider ::: The Tattooist

You know those Saturday nights when you just don't feel like doing anything that will leave you tired or too drunk to get home, so you decide to make it movie night?! If you don't then you have a life and obviously I need to get out more. However if you are with me on this, then you are human, and think there is more to life than getting shit faced with the hopes of meeting your next fling or new wife.

Saturday night was a special one for me. There was this movie that I'de pass over every time I am in Blockbuster but for some reason this time around I decided to snatch it off the shelf. Although I was not too enthusiastic about my choice, it was one of the few films left in the store that I had not already seen.

It is about 8:10 PM Saturday night and I am watching this movie begin. First thing that catches my eye is the cinematography, it was definitely eye catching. One of the reason I pass over a film is that I presume it to lack decent camera angles and the actors look like lames attempting an acting career. Oh! how wrong I was for one long year. This movie came out some time ago and I picked it up when it hit the shelves and after 30 seconds deemed is useless.

This movie is not only cinematic it has a great story line that you can follow along with and get caught up into without feeling cheated out of your money. Also a plus it is one of those rear films that allows you into another culture without seeming preachy about it. It does not take you to be into Tattoos to like this film as it progress along it becomes more of a Horror bases Mystery that causes you to flinch, wince, and turn you head every time your spine tingles.

I suggest on a Saturday night that you check this film out. Ladies if you want to see if you man is a punk, have him watch this and see how much he twitches. If he keeps his eyes on it, he is a man. Fellas if you want to scare the shoes off your ladies, then you already know what it is. Go check this out.

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.

Ann Coulter Neo N*%i poster child lacks reasonable opinions!

Most are going to hate that I said this but who the Flipping cares. I think some people with a pen should be strung up and hung. This out of place, I need something to write about, blond used up bombshell, has nothing else to talk about. I think that she sold her soul long time ago and now has to fulfill the devils demands.

So now that that is off my chest here is what The Daily News had to say about her recent jab at the new first lady,Michelle Obama:

Right-wing flame thrower Ann Coulter blasts incoming First Lady Michelle Obama as a freakish Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis imitator in a book to be published next week.

In her latest screed, titled "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and their Assault on America," Coulter accuses the liberal left of playing the victim when in fact, she argues, they are the victimizers.

As usual, Coulter throws plenty of bombs herself.

Lashing
out at the President-elect's wife, Coulter wrote, "Her obvious
imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless
A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been
laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."

Coulter said Cindy McCain, the wife of vanquished GOP nominee John McCain, "dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history."

Coulter facetiously and snidely refers to Michelle Obama as a "saint" and "Mother Teresa" and suggests that her public service career "advanced in lockstep with the political advancement of her husband."

In the book, Coulter repeatedly refers to the President-elect as "B. Hussein Obama" and complains that the media "literally wanted to have sex with him."

WTF! It seems the poster child for Adolf has no steam and will search for it in any hole that she can dig something out of. Whether it makes sense or not. If you black expect to be nitpicked for every detail of who you are and that is that.

However this is ok, while Mrs. Obama is receiving scrutiny for all the things she look like, the world will be watching, and guess what they will see how much she will get right and get done. My prediction to this is that she will be the first ladies first lady. There I said it!

Before you go. Take a look at this picture and tell me why is this acient prehistoric dino rocking the belly out and have the nerve to point out a woman that covers up?

Git er Done!

P.S. This chick is so far to the right that she is wrong. Why is her head so far up her own ass. and judging from the looks of it, that is not far to go, but I guess all the shit she talks is clogging her ears.

P.s.s. Yes I called her a Neo Nazi poster child!!!!

Underexposed:::: Josh Hartnett

How many actors do you know can play a part with such conviction that you forget it is a movie and assume that the character is no longer a character and someone that is in the room with you. Josh Hartnett is the guy that can get it done. So instead of me having you sit down to read what I have to say about this.  I am going to offer up to you something that you would like to see, which will be great it is 2009 and I do not want to be too long winded in the new year.

Will it be a new you for a new year?

It is now 2009 and you may have the curse of not keeping your new year resolutions. If this is the case realize that you are not alone. Remember that in many cases you are responsible for keep your resolution but you should not have to go at it alone. You should have people around you that reflect your aspirations and goals. People that will reinforce them by setting an example, being a person that can assist you along and friends that are not push overs which will allow you to fall back instead of move forward.

I have been...one to have many goals towards a new year. However I have had people around me that did not allow me to carry them out. Although they are not the blame for what you do with your life, they can be a catalyst to a brighter future. The lives that our friends lead tend to rub off on us causing us to evaluate who we are. This can be a negative or a positive, so we are responsible in every way in who we choose to spend time with and how much of it. Victim by osmosis and peer pressure, we all are. When it is a positive we are congratulated, and when it is a negative we are looked down upon.

You and I both know that what we are is due to a long string of influences whether we like them or not. The human animal is one for copying the one the admire. Admiration is a bridge to the next side. So keep in mind that who you allow yourself around will inevitably rub off on your characteristics and incubate itself into the life you lead.

I say all of this to say, if you wish to become a person of influence then go out there get your hands on the books and be around the people that you need to be around in order to be your repertoire.

If it is a professional then begin to find yourself in the circle of life that cultivates this. Whether it be the library or joining your local toastmaster to build your speaking abilities. This places will allow you to build relationships as well as build up your ability to make a strong argument by allow you to learn ways to structure your presentation.

It is 2009 and their is no better time to be an asset to a world that has a bleak outlook on the economy, the life of others, the state of things within our communities, and so on. This is the year that can make 2010 a year that you await with honor, and every year that follows.

So what are you waiting? Are you afraid the change will take you so far out your comfort zone you will not know what to do? If this is part of the reason, then you are on the right track. You must be out of your comfort zone in order to be of any use to yourself and those around you. Being uncomfortable means that you are now in a place to grow, learn, and become that which you must.

Are you waiting to lose weight before hitting the gym? That is a dumb idea in of itself. You must get in there and feel uncomfortable, this will allow you to work that much harder. So grab your ipods load them with your favorite jams and leave out the love song, use music that will force you to focus, a little eye of the tiger and what not.

If you have questions about this let me know.

Happy new year now change your life so that you can Bump Foward into a brighter future.

7 Pounds is a heavy weight!

I must begin this by saying this is one Christmas that I will never forget.

Never in my life have I seen a movie in which the entire audience asked the person sitting next to them did you cry. That is something that is beyond me but was warranted in every way possible. As I am sitting there with my head tilted towards the screen all I can think of is WOW and WTF for a lack of a better expression.

7 Pounds was more surprise and less filler, and that is what a film aught to be. Since I began following will smiths career I knew he had it in him to act, but this is beyond film making this is a story that can be read into and will be talked about for years to come.

The humanity in the lead character causes you to look within yourself and begs of you to ask yourself. What have you done as of late to manifest good in other? What have you done to make sure that those around you have fruitful lives? Are you doing everything in your power to give others a chance? Now I do not recommend taking things as far as he has, that is a decision that you will make all on your own. However, I do ask that you take a deep looks into your soul and grab for that which causes you to reflect, and use what you come up with to manifest good in others.

Sitting in the movie theater on Christmas day was not my goal for the day, however, there was a gift given to me that I must re-gift. The only way I know how to do this is to share my respect of this great film. It is unlike anything you have ever seen. It will go down in history and will be a classic, and it will be dissected, and if it is not by some slim margin, I will make it my duty to guarantee this film is never forgotten, you can count my words and believe that for sure.

Will Smith production company speared not ideas in this one. I see Overbrook Entertainment go as far as to being a powerhouse filled with ideas that will make the company just a famous as its head star.

See this film and realize the possibility for our and your own humanity and then pay it forward.

You must be kidding me

These three M-Fer's, got it all wrong and I do not think that this if funny in any way. First off now that we can see in living color, blacks are not black but a shade of brown in some way or another. Two African Americans will not wear mismatched brands on the same day, no Nike mixed with Adidas.

This is the most offensive thing I have some across and I must stay clear of looking for these cats and pointing them in the direction of my fist.

They are too funny actually and I hope and pray that they wake up one day from this long slumber they are in.

Movie to reconsider ::: Deep Cover

At the beginning of my movie watching career I came across a film that captivated me in every way possible. I do not know hot to explain this with out going nuts, but I must say that forever I was locked in and ready to watch every film made by Laurence "Larry" Fishburne.

Mr. Fishburne has a swagger that no other actor at the time possessed. His abilities crushed every actor around him except for Jeff Goldblum who I think has been the most underrated actor of our era, but I am not going to get into that.

Picture your father walking across the screen with a gangster swag and all the while you know it is an act. With his application of skill, as the minutes wind down in the movie, it was hard to tell which way he was headed. Not too many actors have ever played cop the way Mr. Fish {as I like to call him}, as well.

Bill Dukes effort was seemed effortless and I vote this film into the need to be on blueray hall of fame. Matter of fact I would like to see what has become of the dectective and I would like for them to place the young kid that he saved into the film as a person it centers around or as a subplot that keeps things moving in a fast paced action drama that is non stop, with a redemptive undertone.

We all know that MR. Fish can rock with the best of them. So now what Hollywood. This is a sequel waiting to happen. What did he do with all those stack he got from the bust? Lets answer that question and make it happen. Hollywood is hot right now and Black America is waiting for the next big move. This time around make it Oscar worthy and its will be on top of mind foever.

Here are some memorable quotes from the film that sticks with you:

John Hull: Gerry, what's the difference between a black man and a nigger?
Carver: What?
[John Hull punches Gerald Carver in the stomach]
John Hull: The nigger's the one that would even think about telling you.

And

David Jason: A man has two things in this world: his word and his balls. Or is that three things?

And

David Jason: With dreams begin responsibilities.

And
John Hull: We took eleven million in drug profits out of the van. The money doesn't know where it comes from, but I do. If I keep it, I'm a criminal. If I give it to the government, I'm a fool. If I try and do some good with it, maybe it just makes things worse. Either way, I'll probably just wind up getting myself in more trouble. It's an impossible choice, but in a way, we all have to make it. What would you do?

And

Taft: If somebody put a gun to your baby's head, would you try and kill them if you could? Huh? Me too. And by selling that stuff, you're putting a gun to my baby's head. Let me warn you. I'm like a mad dog after a bone. I'd be all over you like stink on doo-doo. Trust me.

Here is a pivotol scene in which you see John Hull at a cross roads:

John Hull: Gerry, I sold drugs, I've watched people die, and I didn't do nothing. I killed people. You lied to me.
Carver: They lied to me, John. How naive can you get, man? What, what, are you so stupid you can't see that? You think I like this? Huh? John, I'm sorry. Huh? It's all shit, you know. It's all bullshit. You know that. I know that.
John Hull: What the fuck am I gonna do now?
Carver: Hey, you know they're bringing me to Washington? Come along with me, man. We'll go to Washington. We'll have a budget, huh? We'll have some clout, we'll have some...
John Hull: I didn't get into this for that.
Carver: Well, neither did I. But that's all there is. They're the fucking spoils of war. You might as well enjoy it.
John Hull: Well, if that's all there is, I've been wasting my motherfucking time with you. I can get more clout and more money on the street than I can get following your ass to Washington. Know what? This whole fucking time, I'm a cop pretending to be a drug dealer. I ain't nothing but a drug dealer pretending to be a cop. I ain't gonna pretend no more, Gerry. I quit.

Here is another scene that highlights the American social landscape:

[David Jason describes a new drug. ]
David Jason: It's completely synthetic, therefore no growing, no refining, no peasants. Best of all, no international borders, no customs agents. There in that case in front of you are two detailed prospecti on marketing, anticipated cash flow, and so forth.
Hector Guzman: You racist Americans. You just want to cut us poor Hispanics completely out of the market.
David Jason: No, Mr. Guzman. I think you know that there's no such thing as an American anymore. No Hispanics, no Japanese, no blacks, no whites, no nothing. It's just rich people and poor people. The three of us are all rich, so we're on the same side.


Thoughts from John Hull:

John Hull: The jungle creed says the strongest feed / on any prey that it can / And I was branded beast at every feast / before I ever became a man.


Now to give it to you in its full glory:


You know the jungle creed
say the stongest feed
on any prey it can
and I was branded beast
at every feast
before I ever became a man.

where junkies prowl
and tigers growl
in search of that much needed blow
winos cringe
on canned heat binge
and find their graves in the snow.


Now somone, anyone tell me that this film is not a classic.

Before you do take a look at this extended poetic effort. Source unknown.


Where tigers growl.
Where beggars prowl.
In search of that much needed blow.

Where winos cringe
On a can heap binge
And find their graves in the snow.

Where ice flows through veins.
Where they float over planes.
Grasping for the grass which lies low.

Where druggies snort
White lines so short
And taunt the doubtful without sorrow.

Where dust forms lines.
Where angels in time
Sing their song of sorrow.

Where dusters lust
For a touch of that dust
And the only crystals they know.

Where dopers stray.
To a needle they pray
To give them an ounce of warm glow.

Where they shoot themselves
Full of elves,
Fairy demons and spirits from below.

Where acid rages
In rock cages
And red, polluted rivers flow.

Where thunder moans
Startling stones
Causing them to huddle low.

Where every icy breath
Exhausts impending death
And the stony walls are hollow.

The castle of white
Stands proud tonight
Knowing it will win the war.

10th Aniversary of Naked Acts

It is becoming very clear to me that I am not aware of all the films that are out there. Then again back in 1996 I was a small blip on the radar. In 1996 a film by the name of Naked Acts dropped that was a smack in the face of films and blaxploitation to be exact.


I never had the pleasure to see this film and now know that I must. Over at purple zoe it is clear that there is a prime focus on digging up the goodies. So I bring this to you with care.

I must see this film. When I do you can be sure to hear from me about it again.

Since I missed it anniversary screening I must now hunt this film. I will prey on this film with all that I have until I am able to say that I've seen it and I have a true opinion of it.

Another Wu-Tang Moment

I think of all the crews in Hip Hop history that made an impact that changed the direction of a sound. The crews that come to mind are The get Fresh Crew, NWA, and The Wu-Tang Clan. Although these crews ended up disbanding for one reason or another. They always seems to stick in your mind. Lucky for us, Rap is so hot, that my favorite crew of all time has re-banded.

So without delay. I must bring you some classics Wu-Tang videos.

Taraji P. Henson +The Curious Case of Benjamin Button = Oscar Nodds?

A must see film. I had a chance to see a private screening and I must say Taraji P. Henson has the ability to snatch words off the page, turn them into her heart, and break the boundaries of movie making and reality.

From what I hear she is the talk, and I do not have a problem adding to that talk.

Brad Pitt rocks his role in this film as well. So I am sure Oscar will be knocking down the doors of these two. If not, I will boycott the award show, who tend to jump on the bandwagon of their favorites.


Taraji was recently stopped at the SAG awards and here is what she had to say about the film.

“It’s an epic, that’s all I can say. It’s an epic. It’s like a modern-day Gone with the Wind. They don’t make films like this anymore. It’s beautiful to watch. The cinematography is going to blow you away. The message, the story… I mean, in the screenings grown men had to collect themselves before they could get up and leave. It’s one of those movies that will touch you in ways you’ve never been touched in a long time in film.”
