Lupe Fiasco – Solar Midnite

Solar Midnite, the first commercial release that Lupe wrote and produced. He was asked by The New Moon team to write a song and clearly you can see the results. Many of these ideas stemmed from an invite to an early screening of the unfinished film. The rock song deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters. I highly urge everyone to click the button and watch this genius in action.


A definite hit on the list, and expected to reach the top of the charts watch the video and be on the look out for the Movie, New Moon.

~Warm Fashions Vol 1~

From Head to Toe

With winter being right around the corner, I felt that this was the perfect time to introduce the Warm Fashions.

So lets get on with it......

First we start off with the Hat




Nothing explains a man’s fashion insight more than a nice stylish hat. The ability to select a hat of style shows maturity and sophistication. Here are a few stylish men's hats that will leave your head feeling warm and dapperly attired.














A well-made hat serves two important purposes. First, it keeps you warm in the winter months by helping you contain the heat from your body. Secondly, it keeps your hair neat and tidy while still looking cool. When your swagg is added to the equation, it sets it all off.



Check out how this guy executes the Hat.....

Letters to a YOUNG BROTHER

Different things motivate different people. My motivation is the success of another person who stands in the position that I am heading in. President Barack Obama, Hill Harper, and Johnnie Cochran to name a few, have obtained Law Degrees from top law schools. As a Pre-Law student, I look up to these men and admire their success. These men are the epitome of African American Success. While reading many of these letters, I began to see how Harper strives to give young men the knowledge of the things that bring them true empowerment such as; education, a strong sense of purpose, compassion, and confidence.




Although I have not read all of the letters (and because I really did not start reading the first letter) I really enjoyed the letter “Quitting vs. Changing Your Mind”. This letter gave me confidence and inspiration to continue to pursue my Law Degree instead of working for the Federal Agency where I interned this summer. I’m not quitting the position before I get it, Im just changing my mind. Thanks Harper. (Also read In My Lifetime Vol 2)

To my ladies, I didn’t forget about you. Check out LETTERS TO A YOUNG SISTER



Winner of Best Book for Young Adults 2007, I highly encourage every young man to go out and get your copy. I guarantee you have not seen inspiration until you have read this book.

What's sexy about a Female?

I was talking with a few of the fellas and the question came up about "What's sexy about a Female?"

In my opinion:

A woman’s lips have got to be the sexiest thing to me. A set of sexy legs and soft skin is always a plus, pretty eyes make me melt on the inside, swaggar, style, attitude, confidence, and most importantly conversation is always a turn on but the sexy physicality (and yes that is a word) and the makeup of a women’s lips just rush blood throughout my body. Not only having the lips is enough for me but the ability to be able to use those oh so sexy lips just take it to another level.

As always your comment or opinion is greatly appreciated....

In my Lifetime Vol. 2

HBCU Edition




College can be fun and it can also be culturally stimulating. Attending a black college is one of the best experiences that an African-American can have. The struggles, the history, and the successes of most Historically Black Colleges/Universities are astounding. It is truly a privilege to follow the legacies of some of America’s most profound black leaders by attending and graduating from a Historically Black College/University.

Leaving high school and deciding on what college to go to was a crazy experience. I looked at local colleges and they just didn’t fit my taste. After careful research and attending many college tours, I decided to attend an HBCU. Next was the hard part, figuring out what HBCU to attend because I wanted to stay in the state and still wanted to get away from home.

I have had the opportunity to attend Morris College (http://www.morris.edu/). I would have to say that this was definitely one of the best experiences in my life. I was able to grow and understand who I was and the struggles that African-Americans have gone through in order to get me there. Besides all of the parties, different cultures, and excitement, I did end up learning more than I thought that I would. My experience at an HBCU has helped shape the person that I am today. As a senior, there are many decisions that I must make going into the real world. I am caught between going to law school, and taking a position with a federal agency.

Let me know your ideas and thoughts on what I should do.

In the Meantime, These are the Top 5 HBCUs

1. Morehouse College
2. Spelman College
3. Clark Atlanta University
4. Florida A&M University
5. Howard University

~Lady GaGa Tours Solo~

Kanye West and Lady Gaga's tour, titled "Fame Kills," was supposed to kick off Nov. 10 in Phoenix. This past week, Live Nation announced its cancellation on Thursday with no explanation. Its no secret that West had endured a firestorm of negative publicity since storming the stage at MTV Video Music Awards last month and hijacking Taylor Swift's award-winning moment while she was giving her acceptance speech after winning best female video. Lady Gaga said her new tour will kick off in mid-November. Her platinum-selling debut CD, "The Fame," will be rereleased on Nov. 24.

In my Lifetime Vol. 1

Property of October

Throughout my lifetime, I have been fortunate to have experienced and to have seen many things. It is the foundation of the little success that I have accomplished in my life. As a college senior, many obstacles and road blocks are thrown your way, however, it is the response and how a person handles the situation which determines the success. Today marks the twenty second year of my existence which is a direct result of hard work and perseverance. To everyone that played a major role in the development of my well being, I thank you. To everyone with disbelief and uncertainty of my success, I thank you for providing me with ammunition to continue to press forward.
