March 11, 2020
…and that’s on God. I’m trying to please Him.
The world against him, but God is for him. And Murs. Both want Dee-1 to get to first place and bring the victory in. But the race is hard. I get that. But so are the rhymes, son!

Latinos Converting To Islam (Documentary)
January 25, 2019
What so-called religions that promise ‘salvation’ can truly forget is the SAVING. What the dude says in here about why he converted to Islam, how it truly SAVED him… He was not speaking of a ‘magical’ event or a sudden ‘newness’ feeling (set to orchestral music or something). Rather, he was speaking of Islam SAVING his life in an UNDERSTANDABLE way that brought joy to his soul and meaning to his life. ‘Survival mode’ to a ‘revival’ by way of the Quran.
Latinos are one of the fastest growing groups within Islam in America. VICE’s Lee Adams travels to Houston Texas, the home of America’s first Islam in Spanish center, to investigate what’s behind this phenomenon and how America’s current political climate might be related.
Another great VICE documentary.

Michelle & Chad sitting in a tree… praying and meditating on God’s greatness and their future together… Yes, for real.
Michelle Williams & Chad Johnson On Saving Themselves For Marriage, Couples Therapy + Their New Show
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM
Sure, they talk about ‘saving themselves’ for marriage, but they talk way more about us as a people needing to get comfortable with seeking out counseling – couples & individual. Great talk.
(Watch through to the end for the most biblical, lyrical, pimp-tastical line ever… “What did Moses do with his staff?” Haha!)

Say No To The Dress, The Caterer, To The Whole Expensive Wedding… It’s All A Total Rip-Off (Video)
August 17, 2017
How could the College Humor crew dare to attack the sacred, traditional, necessary institution of marriage? Well, because it is really none of that. Just hella expensive for no damn reason (except, well, commerce)!
No hate, even though Adam does Ruin Everything… like the need for big weddings in this episode. Just like he did the ‘wedding ring’ racket (see here).
(Your fiancee might not need to see this though. Haaa!)

Witness Account Of The Assassination Of Malcolm X (Video)
February 22, 2017
I heard Brother Malcolm say ‘salaam alaikum’ and next thing I heard were the shots.
– A. Peter Bailey
Powerful personal account, including moments just preceding and following the assassination of activist/icon Malcolm X. The audio alone is powerful, but the pictures and scene captures, overlaid with poignant touches of animation. You’ll feel this. And what you feel… that’s them trying to kill the Human Rights movement.
Damn.

Brownsville’s own recollects and reflects on his hard-knock life from back then up to when and why he started to change up to his present day. Strap in for an hour plus of realness.

The Birth of A Nation: The Inspired by Album (LP)
October 5, 2016
Right here, right now, you can stream “The Birth of A Nation: The Inspired by Album” LP. Its purpose is more than implied by its title… a companion piece to the movie. Heard it was incredible, the movie. Whether goers will go and view “The Birth Of A Nation” on the silver screen is a matter for each and every one of them to figure out. This music though, no need to debate or deliberate. These shiz iz the biznezz! Bangers by Nas, Pusha T, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, and more.

OMG! John Oliver Opened His Own Megachurch!
January 24, 2016
That’s Oh My [Prosperity] Gospel! Remember that website and phone number John Oliver gave out in his end-of-segment bit in his lampooning of cash-greedy televangelists on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver“… that was for a real thing. Buzz on the Interwebs made it worth checking the Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption site. To find the letter above.
Crazy!
But…due to unforeseen circumstances… and unanticipated seed donations… and undesired donations of ’seed’ (fans be cray)… Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption is now closed.
At least the donated monies went to a good cause (we take the site as it reads, but remember how loose U.S. regulation on churches is though). Read above and chuckle.

John Oliver Gives The Gospel Truth On ‘Prosperity Preachers’ (Video)
January 23, 2016
U.S. tax law allows television preachers (read: prosperity preachers, who ask you for money you don’t have, promising blessings they cannot promise) to get away with almost anything. Not only are their actions LEGAL in the United States, but as part of a church, they can do the ridiculousness TAX-FREE! Folks, you have to pay taxes on money you earn at your 9-to-5 though.
We will now allow you a moment to get inconsolably angry-sad.
Now, to make you feel a bit better, here’s John Oliver with a hard-hitting satirical piece from his HBO series “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver“ giving it to the run-amok prosperity gospel industry. Give it to ’em, John. Hallelujah!

Lecrae – “All I Need Is You”
August 7, 2014
To say this is Lecrae’s latest, entitled “All I Need Is You,” would be simplistic but true. And we would miss a fundamental shift in the music buying base at iTunes. This jawn (you listen and judge, but I think it’s cool) is music by a professed Christian artist (or emcee-who-happens-to-be-Christian… either way) that went number 1 on iTunes. Lecrae’s LP “Anomaly” (due out September 9, 2014) is just that apparently; what could be called gospel Hip-Hop going to the top in a non-gospel category. Go look for yourself via the iTunes pre-order link (and stream the single) below. Give it a listen.
