Song of the Day – ‘Break Ya Neck’

  The weekend! Next week? All movie reviews here.  So wanted to bring the heat to start a three day weekend (for most of us). Forgot how much funny this video was.  Busta was THE Guy for a minute. Back Monday night to give my thoughts on Wakanda on the big screen.  Enjoy the long […]

Song of the Day – ‘T.R.O.Y.’

Support Aaron and ‘S.W.A.T.’

Song of the Day – ‘Stan’

  Have to end this week with something from the catalog of the man who used his voice and platform to say what many are feeling. Not that I ever doubted where he stood but still when I saw the cipher… Have a good weekend gang!
