Short week, so let’s get these jams in quickly… One of the first videos and songs I have a fairly vivid memory of seeing. How vivid? I’m fairly certain I saw used to see this frequently on Video Soul with Donnie Simpson. (Ask your parents kids.) Enjoy!
Does ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ reinvent the wheel for musical biopics? No. Could it have gone further in detailing why Freddie Mercury is an icon, to multiple communities? Definitely. But is it fun? Does Rami Malek excel in the ‘every reason to fail’ role of making the audience believe he’s Freddie Mercury? Absolutely. The end of Mercury’s […]
Fifteen years ago today, ‘the Black Album’! I think a lot of us knew in our hearts Hov was way too young (and had too much money left to be made) for this to really be his ‘retirement’ album. But good Lord, this is still such a complete work. ’99 Problems’. ‘What More Can I […]
A New Jack Swing kind of Tuesday. Teddy Riley was one of, if not THE hitmaker of my generation. This right here was just the beginning. And bonus points for this video reminding me of one of my first ‘go to’ dance moves: the ‘all shoulders, no waist shimmy’ that Aaron Hall pulls off at […]
So, a film about a young convert finding her place (and herself) as a Muslim while also coming into her own as a young adult. You would not be wrong to deduce that I’m cheering for this film to succeed on several levels, whether it’s a good film or not. But the debut film […]
The weekend! I can’t remember the last time we went into the weekend with Tribe, which means it’s been too long. This song still goes. And a young Busta. Those were the good days. We still miss you Phife. Have a good one everyone.
Hard to mess up my favorite song ever. But honestly, this remix works, because it works. On its own. Enjoy!
Like Jason Reitman, I’m old enough to remember hearing the names ‘Gary Hart’ and ‘Donna Rice’ on the news, but way too young to have any context for it at the time. ‘The Front Runner’ makes its case as one of those ‘pop culture turning points’ where our obsessions with the personal lives of […]
Don’t know why it took the Honest Trailer guys so long to get around to this, but it was done well. Give credit where it’s due. Enjoy!
While Chalamet is still on my radar, today is the perfect day to post this. ‘Call Me By Your Name’ on the whole left me kind of cold, but THIS monologue (which I’m told they pulled directly from the book without changing it)… Performed by one of our best character actors Michael Stuhlbarg, this […]
