Bishop Eddie Long Crowned ‘King’ at New Birth Baptist Church (Video)
February 1, 2012
I saw people talk about this left & right yesterday about how embattled Atlanta preacher Bishop Eddie Long was recently crowned ‘King’ at New Birth Baptist Church out here in Atlanta. Amidst everything that has been going on with this guy, now he’s crowned “King” by what appears to be a fake Rabbi of some sorts. The video gets really wild around the 7:00 minute mark.

Soul Train Legend Don Cornelius Found Dead Of Apparent Self-Inflicted Gun Shot Wound
February 1, 2012
“Soul Train” creator Don Cornelius was found dead at his Sherman Oaks on home Wednesday morning.
Law enforcement sources said police arrived at Cornelius’ home around 4 a.m. He apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was ongoing.
The sources said there was no sign of foul play, but the Los Angeles Police Department was investigating.
In a 2010 interview with The Times, he said he was excited about a movie project he was developing about “Soul Train.”
“We’ve been in discussions with several people about getting a movie off the ground. It wouldn’t be the ‘Soul Train’ dance show, it would be more of a biographical look at the project,” he said. “It’s going to be about some of the things that really happened on the show.”
According to a Times article, Cornelius’ “Soul Train†became the longest-running first-run nationally syndicated show in television history, bringing African American music and style to the world for 35 years.
Cornelius stopped hosting the show in 1993, and “Soul Train†ceased production in 2006.” – LA TIMES

Denzel Washington Speaks On Turning Down Negative Movie Roles Early In His Film Career (Video)
January 30, 2012
Ran across this interview with Denzel Washington that my homie DVD out in L.A. put me onto. In this interview Denzel speaks on turning down a role in a movie he called “The Nigga They Couldn’t Kill”. I thought what Denzel said in this video was very powerful in terms of the ultimate decisions he made with the film & the advice he sought & was given from the legendary Sidney Poitier regarding his choices.

The soulful voice behind classic albums Brown Sugar and Voodoo seems to be finally back after an 11 year hiatus. Even though D’Angelo’s absence had much more to do with personal troubles than lack of musical inspiration,it looks like the good brother is back on the right track.
