Phife Dawg
if anyone tuned in to watch Hip Hop Honors on VHI and wondered if Phife from Tribe Called Quest was sick, then you were right. He has Type 2 diabetes and is suffering from kidney failure that requires dialysis. Im hoping that he gets better soon. For all u hip hip heads out there, you know it would be really sad to lose some of the great conributors to Hip Hop (J Dilla)... we cant lose Phife either

Coming to a Theatre neaR....Me
Cant wait.....
"The Great DebateRs"
release date: December 25 2007
A film produced by Oprah (my FaV) and directed by Denzel Washington based on a true story of Melvin B. Tolson, who while at Wiley college formed an all black debate team who for the first time beat Harvard university. After winning the debate African American students enrollment became more accepting among other colleges and universities...Its mos definitely a uplifting film cant wait to see it...
"Lars and the Real Girl"
released date: October 25 2007
In appearance the movie seems like another ridiculous American comedy, when in reality the film carries on a deeper message. It is based on the sense of touch and how Americans rarely get to enjoy and appreciate this sense. In the film character Lars is in search of a companion and orders a sex doll from the Internet but Sex is not what Lars has in mind. Lars wants a deep meaningful relationship. This film is an exact example of the American society and how we seem to be so concerned about materialistic things that we forget to appreciate the simple things in life like the sense of touch.

Fakes, Liars, Fronters etc.
I learned something this weekend. What seems cool and dandy on the outside, is in fact artificial and ugly on the inside. I guess calling girls groupies seems to be the cool thing to do these days. If that makes you feel better then fine.

Assata ("she who struggles") Shakur ("thankful one")
Assata Shakur is a mother, revolutionary, artist, writer, activist, grandmother, and political prisoner. She is a victim of the US government's policy toward people of color. In 1973 she was arrested and put in jail, by an all white jury. Assata was granted asylum, and is now in Cuba. Federal authorities have labeled her a "domestic terrorist" on the same list as Bin Laden. Although the US has done everything in its power to criminalize Shakur, she is not a criminal, nor has she ever been one. Free all political prisoners! Do your research. Spread the word.

Close GuantanamO Bay Now!!!!!
Wow wake up America were experiencing a Holocaust. For the past five years hundreds of innocent people have been held as prisoners in torture halls better known as Guantanamo Bay. The prisoners are held without fair trials and are kept in inhuman conditions. Guantanamo Bay is just another way for Bush to torture and abuse middle eastern people. This must be stopped. If our right to a fair trial is being taken now whats next our freedom of speech...dO your research...
Bush = Hitler
Guantanamo Bay = Holocaust
