Joe: Ain’t Nothing Like Me – And He’s Right
By Urban Thought at 31 May, 2007, 2:30 pm
It has been a minute since I have heard some new Joe, is what Nas says as he does the intro for the first track off of Joe’s album Ain’t Nothing Like Me released on Jive Records. And, can I say that it is a fitting title for Joe. One of the last R&B dudes [...]

Growing up in NYC is tough. Having a mother who grew up in NYC is even tougher. But that is my reality. Without my mother’s guidance I’m not so sure I’d be around today. She made it possible for me to explore the world outside the ghetto. For that I am appreciative.
I remember one day [...]
Music Reviews: How They Work
By Urban Thought at 28 May, 2007, 12:00 am
The following is my process of reviewing a CD:
1 Upload the CD to my computer.
2 Sync The iPod With iTunes
3 press play
4 type away
What I give you is my take on the words and the production of the singles. Raw fresh and never censored (if I can help it).

They say that you have at least seven dreams for every eight hours of sleep that you actually get. I haven’t had eight hours of sleep in some time. They also say that you dream in black and white. I don’t know who has said all this but I dream in color. As for the [...]

So with summer finally trying to make an appearance, what games did you play to pass the time?
Me, I was a Tag and Hopscotch girl! Others I know were double dutchers. Their legs pump as fast as possible so you didn’t get beat with the telephone wire. Yes, I grew up in the hood. When [...]

Who R you… To tell me I’m nobody when God made me somebody.
Who R you… Hiding behind that mask, barely concealing your hurt from the world.
Who R you… Screaming at the child because he/she resembles ol’ boy that did you wrong.
Who R you… Telling me that I am not capable of love because I’ve never [...]
Another DJ Down (And Counting)

The FCC is at it again or should I say ClearChannel. In the wake of the Don Imus firing every shock joke jock should be aware, that words can indeed harm you.
Comedian Donnell Rawlings, best known as “Ashy Larry” of Chappelle’s Show fame, has been fired. Not for any “Nappy Headed Ho” comments. Not for [...]
Are shock jocks going too far?
By Urban Thought at 14 May, 2007, 2:31 pm
In an ongoing effort to keep their audiences entertained, shock jocks are increasingly going too far with their words. We had Imus a few months back talking of Nappy Headed Hos, now we have Opie & Anthony talking about raping women.
Opie and Anthony, best known for their 2002 “Sex in St. Patrick’s Cathedral” stunt, which [...]
A Mother…

A Mother…
Our strongest support system since before birth
Usually the one who teaches us how to behave on this earth
Strong enough to be the man, yet a gentle as a woman
Can balance bills, kids, work and still the best at cookin’
Will hide her pain to ensure that there is joy
Would rather build a happy home than [...]
Smoking Is Fun Again, eCigarette

HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) – It feels like a cigarette, looks like a cigarette but it isn’t bad for your health.
A Chinese company marketing the world’s first “electronic” cigarette hopes to double sales this year as it expands overseas and as some of China’s legions of smokers try to quit.
Golden Dragon Group [...]
What Mother’s Day Means To Me
By Lady J at 11 May, 2007, 11:00 am
All I can say is that the designated day like all the other designated days has been commercialized ad nausea (to benefit those entitled, whining guilt trippers who seem to never get enough and must always have it their way).
I’m sure the majority of world population acknowledges parents, mentors, friends, etc., on a regular, with [...]
