An Open Letter To Nikki Jean

Dear Nikki,  I seriously hope that when Pennies In A Jar comes out on July 12th that you get the success that you deserve. I believe in your scaled-back sound and your humble demeanor. You don’t put it flashy dance numbers or try to present yourself as some sort of untouchable pop princess. You’ve shown... Read more »

How Ronald Reagan Almost Became A Film Franchise

A few weeks ago, I purchased a screenplay known as “The Secret Adventures Of Ronald Reagan”. I wrote about it asking if anyone knew about the origins of the screenplay on this blog and didn’t get much of a reply save for one spammer commenting. I decided to do the leg work on my own... Read more »

Beyonce Knowles Has No Real Power Over Real Women

Beyonce Knowles. Former member of Destiny’s Child. One of the many things about this woman that seems to constantly be mentioned is the fact that she talks about girl power and women being in charge. Obviously, the reality is different and far from the message that Beyonce likes to push. If Beyonce did a song... Read more »

Nicki Minaj: Less Booty, More Talent

Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj seems to be the biggest female rapper out there at the moment. When people, especially men, discuss how big she is, they are hardly referring to her rap skills; they are referring to junk in her trunk.  It seems to be working for her in terms of getting the media’s...

United Airlines: Stop Messing With David Choi's Luggage

Singer/Songerwriter David Choi is something of an interest to me musically. His songs have a funny melancholy to them that doesn’t feel completely annoying or overtly dramatic as someone of his caliber would often sound like. I mostly came into knowing about him through from the so-infectously-deep-pot-shot-at-pop-music known as “Dance To This Song”, which he... Read more »

Jennifer Hudson: J Records Is Screwing You Over

Alright Jen. This is album number two.  My review of your first album, which I did on Blogcritics, perhaps wasn’t fair. I do think you were trying to find your sound with the first time around. This new album however isn’t a question about what your style should be. My criticism of this album comes... Read more »

Don't Want More Rebecca Black's? Promote Good Music!

This is Rebecca Black.  Thirteen years of age. Straight out of Anaheim Hills, California.  If “Friday”, the song that has become the latest unnecessary viral sensation on the Internet, had simply been ignored, pop culture critics would have nothing to say about it. Since everyone has apparently decided this was the most deplorable thing ever... Read more »

Being A Film Critic: What's The Point?

For the last few months, I’d say even a year, I have been slowly losing interest in being a film critic, or a critic of anything for that matter. Considering that I feel this way, I’d like to know from folks out there what the point of this all is? Yes it’s true only you... Read more »

Black Entertainment and The Resistence To Criticize Our Own Content

Denyce Lawton of Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne lamented on her Facebook account that black people should be more supportive and less critical of their own people. This came apparently because someone on the Global14 site expressed a fatigue over the fact that certain black male actors constantly portray characters in drag. Since reality never... Read more »

Attention Justin Bieber Fans: Sit Down And Shut Up!

Truthfully, I never watched the Grammy’s. Most of the people who win these kinds of awards can’t carry a tune never mind them actually trying alone a whole album. Having swiftly purchased on ITunes her most recently album (Chamber Music Society), I can see why she deserved the win. She plays instruments, she sings in... Read more »
