2021 has proven to be brutal regarding the world of Hip Hop. This year took so many beloved artists away from us: Prince Markie Dee (of The Fat Boys), Shock G (also known as "Humpty Hump" from Digital Underground), Black Rob, DMX, and now Biz Markie. I grew up on Biz and loved him well… Continue reading Biz Markie: 1964 – 2021
Hey, y'all. I know what y'all are thinking, "What's going on with the Pose recaps and reviews you promised us? We're already on episode five, and you only covered the first two!" I know, I'm super late...more so than usual. The reason for me being even later with the reviews/recaps than I normally am is… Continue reading Update on ‘Pose’ Recaps/Reviews
'Pose' is finally back! Here's my recap/review for the first two episodes!
I consider myself to be an '80s/'90s baby, and like most folks around my age group, I lived for Saved by the Bell when I was a kid.

Plus, I wasn't exactly sure how I was gonna write this tribute. However, I had to post something about… Continue reading Tommy “Tiny” Lister: 1958 – 2020
2020 strikes again. On Halloween of this year, we lost Sean Connery, and Sunday before last (Nov. 8, 2020), we lost Alex Trebek. Unlike the majority of the celebrities I write tributes for, I honestly can't remember when I was introduced to these men because they were constants throughout my life. It wasn't until Sean… Continue reading In Memoriam: Sean Connery and Alex Trebek
I first saw Chadwick Boseman in the film 42, depicting Jackie Robinson during his early years with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Chad's performance had me glued to the screen, and with me being the nerd I am, I had to find out more about this newcomer that had such brilliant acting chops. One of the coolest… Continue reading Chadwick Boseman: 1976 – 2020
