Illinois Governor Blagojevich has a lot of nerve
December 30, 2008
No one has more nerve than this Governor. He stills thinks his invincible. He went ahead and appointed someone to replace Obama for the Senate seat. Roland Burris would have been a great choice, but no-one would approve this appointment. I feel bad for Burris but, he probably should stay as far away from Blagojevich [...]

Obama is questioned by agents
December 29, 2008
Obama was under the bright light of the FBI for 2 hours regarding Governor Rod Blagojevich and his senate seat.
The brother is not even in office yet and he’s being talked to as a suspect to a probe that he had nothing to do with. I’m sure they could have waited until January 29th, but [...]
T.I. – Paper Trail
December 28, 2008
T.I. is truly one of his generation’s most captivating speakers. Whether he’s conversing frankly with a room full of youth about the positive side of staying in school and following their dreams, or moving tens of thousands at one of his concerts, the audiences are immediately engrossed by the King of the South’s words.

Eartha Kitt, the sexy singer, dancer and actress that purrs the screen with her sex kitten sensuality dies of colon cancer at the age of 81.

Keyshia Cole – Just Like You
December 24, 2008
The smoother, less aggressive tone of this album suggests that maybe Cole has vented enough—but we beg to differ. It’s hard to find flaw with tracks like “I Remember,” a slow, gentle track constructed with strings and guitar arpeggios, but it does take its sweet time getting to the point and sounds rather like a [...]
Mary J. Blige – Growing Pains
December 24, 2008
“I’m talkin’ ’bout things I know,” Mary J. Blige wails on “Work That,” the second single and opening track of Growing Pains. The album squeaked into 2007 too late to make best-of lists but otherwise would have stormed its way up several, for sure. She needn’t have hit us with such a pronouncement: In 16 [...]
Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III
December 24, 2008
Lil Wayne put out enough material in 2007 to inspire a Vibe magazine list of the 77 best Lil Wayne songs of that year alone. That level of output is the primary reason behind Tha Carter III’s bumpy ride. The albums opens well with the appropriately boastful “3 Peat,” followed by the symbolic torch-passing of [...]
Alicia Keys – As I AM
December 24, 2008
By the time this long-awaited album saw its release date, most fans had probably read at least a couple of interviews with Alicia Keys in which she explained that first single, “No One”–a firestorm of a song clearly born of a sore heart and steeped in serious soul-searching, was about her decision to retreat from [...]
