January 27 was International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It marks the liberation of Auschwitz by Allied Forces (specifically the Russians) during World War II, and it is also a day set aside in which to remember the 6.5 million Jews who were systematically slaughtered and murdered by the Nazis. 6 million is a number almost too […]
1989 Batman – There is no competing with the hype machine that went into this movie. There is no way it wasn’t going to be a blockbuster (and it was), though it took years for me to understand this was a comedy and not a drama like Superman. I’ve only recently began to appreciate it, and I […]
January 28th marks not only the anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger disaster, it also marks NASA’s Day of Remembrance. The end of January and beginning of February are a very somber time for NASA with the anniversary of not only the Challenger disaster, but also the Apollo 1 tragedy in which three astronauts were […]
BOOGIE’S EVERYTHING’S FOR SALE Compton MC, Boogie, dropped his major label debut project titled Everything’s For Sale.

CDOT HUNCHO RELEASES “SADITY” WITH CHIEF KEEF This week, Cdot Honcho recruited Chief Keef for a track called “Sadity.” What came from this track was nothing but energy— so much so that Honcho didn’t entirely need Chief on this song. Although, it doesn’t hurt the track, it does show the importance of a feature in today’s […]
I would be remiss if I let the year end, and I did not write about two great movies from 20 years ago. Although, I know by the time I turn in this article and it is published, it will be 2019. I saw one of these movies in the theater, and from that moment I […]
January 2, 2019. “Mean Gene” Okurland I woke up to the news that “Mean Gene” Okurland died.
