Why We Need a Deeper Dialogue on Black-and-Brown...
I still firmly believe Katt Williams simply acted very ignorantly and immaturely in self defense while not meaning what he said. It was more an issue of anger management and male masculinity/bravado rising to the surface. When a man is confronted, his pride at times takes over; this leads to him digging deep in ways to defend his pride and honor even if it means saying some asinine comments to...

You Dont Know ISH: Confirmed: Lil Wayne Wore... →
That’s the problem with the game now n days: Lack of Authenticity. The game’s a joke, but, hey they trying to get paid however. The sad part is how fans are giving all these clowns a pass. It’s actually quite disheartening. Someone like Childish Gambino is actually more REAL than say Drake. He doesn’t try to claim lanes that aren’t his or flip flop around.

ISH knows…I’d give dude a pass b/c I know rockers n hipsters wear shit like this. It’s not my cup of tea at all, but, whatever, to each their own. However, when you’re claiming blood and a gansta lifestyle on mad tracks while also talking about abducting beyonce like u tough, wearing my sisters jeggings makes you look like a flaming homo (I’m not homophobic;...

A Life of Fulfillment: Pushing Out of Your Comfort...
Funny that I received the topic of “The warning signs of defending the status quo” today via Seth’s Blog. I was talking about this last night with one of my closest friends. I was telling him how, as humans, we’ve been put on this earth to keep growing with the times; to keep maturing. Not to just conform to the status quo. God has given us talents to share with the...

Update on Lil Wayne's "It's Good" Diss Song:...
ISH knows…I’m glad Jadakiss cleared his name on this one. I’m not the type to assume at all, but, I was thinking “Damn, how’s Jadakiss going to be on this track when he’s clearly shown love to Hova in the past. I’ll let him clear the air before I say anything.” I was also a lil confused b/c his lyrical content didn’t sound much like a diss...

Aside from the Eastcoast earthquake, the biggest news today was the rumored split b/w Jada & Will Smith. Folks have been harping about “omfg, I would lose hope in love if they split!”

Pan's Labyrinth
Finally watched ‘Pan’s Labyrinth.’ Dope movie but def disappointed b/c folks hyped it up so much to me.
One of the main messages I got was maintaining one’s innocence, morals, & imagination in the face of darkness, evil & corruption.
This is now my 2nd Guillermo del Toro film I’ve watched. If Chris Nolan & Tim Burton were to procreate,...

Here’s the full story.
ISH knows…child pedophiles must be rejoicing somewhere in their nasty ass caves. This is unsettling to me b/c you have kids doing adult-like poses. Plus, they have ass shots of little girls! Cmon now! SMFH. The French company offers undergarments for three different age groups: bébé (babies), fille (children), and ado/femme (teens). Thankfully, the...

Harvard Business Review: Groupon Doomed by Too... →
But what is most interesting about its emphasis on the ACSOI metric is that, deep down, Groupon knows what we all know: good investments are profitable investments. It was simply not enough for the firm to report earnings and explain that it was investing for growth. Rather, Groupon felt the need to include a metric of profitability, no matter how contrived, that was actually positive.

Stop Coddling the Super-Rich by Warren Buffett
Great points. Excerpt:
While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. Some of us are investment managers who earn billions from our daily labors but are allowed to classify our income as “carried interest,” thereby getting a bargain 15 percent tax rate. Others own...

Rolling Stones Mag Says The King of Hip-Hop is...
EMINEM!..according to the list revealed today by the famed magazine. They only ranked solo rappers and took into account figures from 2009 through the first seven months of 2011. I can’t argue against any of the spots on this list because they took an analytical and statistical based argument. Given the route they took to make their list, Em is without a doubt #1.
