Today in Black History, something happened that literally and unmistakably change the world. Today, in 1971 the greatest poet and some consider the greatest man of our generation was born. Tupac Amaru Shakur was born in East Harlem, NY.




Child of two (Mother) Afeni Shakur (and his father), Billy Garland, active members of the Black Panther Party in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Tupac grew up with the Brotherhood, Responsibility, Black Identity, and Black Love that not only carried him through this journey of Manhood; but also through his music. Pac has and will always go down as the Greatest. It was Tupac love for art and artistic expression that first sparked his passion.


What made Tupac Great and still makes him Great is his self identity. He never ran away from the issues of Our Community. Tupac had intelligence that very few rappers, heck people possess. Tupac never feared anything, not even death. That why people, no matter their affiliation can appreciate and Love the Langston Hughes and William Shakespeare of our time.


If anything can be said about Tupac, is that he is a inspiration. Rather through his music, poetry, larger than life personality, and his head strong mentality. Tupac is a on going and continuous influence. A Rose That Grew Out of The Concrete. But more importantly a Rose that will never wilter.


Tupac is and will always be the greatest Rapper, Leader, Artist that we will ever see in the Hip Hop Generation.


Happy Birthday, Tupac
Will Miss You and Respect You
Rest In Peace

RIP Muhammad Ali (The Greatest)

As you have heard the sad news by now, the great Muhammad Ali has passed on. He was laid to rest yesterday. When I say passed on, he has moved on to another journey. To another place to inspire, love, encourage, and communicate without bounds or limits. Mr. Ali is free yet again. I don't have to say what Mr. Ali meant to me. Just from past articles, tweets, and videos, you guys already know what he meant to me. He was a inspiration, hero, mentor, and someone to look up to and listen; learning and hanging on to has every word. Even if those words were 50 years old, they still hold relevance to this very day. I am keeping this post short, because no true words can describe what he meant to me, to all of us. However, I will end this post like this. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Therefore, he was the greatest legend ALL-TIME. And, he will live on as long as WE as a PEOPLE are still ALIVE!!!!! Rest Easy Champ!!!!!!!

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

                                                          "#TheFlagMustGo" Growing up, I have seen the Confederate flag so many times I could not count. As, a Young age I knew the Flag was wrong. Then, as I got older I was about to study the origins as well as the very people who created, represented, and coveted the flag; I truly had my answer: The Flag Must Go. Before, I give my opinion; I am going to give y'all unmistakable and unarguable facts. In 1861, politician William Porcher Miles designed the flag. As I studied the very man who created the "confederacy flag." I wanted to understand his doctrine and beliefs. I wanted to see what he wanted to create, pass-down, and strength who's cau...
