Over and over again, I have tried to dismiss and even fool myself out of believing my new opinion. For months, I have defended myself about hip-hop. I have repeatedly said that "I love hip-hop." However, as of today, I have honestly comes to grips that I have no hope in hip-hop. And, as I listen o the music of today, I realized that there is a difference between poetry (J. Cole) and this trash that 's being played now. I have came to realize, that for us to be in a better state than we are in right now, we must change the game of hip-hop. Now, let me explain. On a recent drive to the store, or I am have been doing to school, I heard a by the rapper by Ty Dolla Sign & Future. The song was called "Blasé." When I heard the song, I thought that the song was the most idiotic and dumbest song, I ever heard. I mean the lyrics (if I can even call them that) equaled to such a ignorant and brainless level that it left me more unsettled than usual. The "Blasé...

I step over piranha, death over dishonor They killin n***** for J's, that's death over designer - J. Cole                                     " Stephon Marbury, Michael Jordan, and Shoes " If you haven't been on Twitter, then you probably have not seen the news. Former NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury is releasing his tennis shoes again. Stephon Marbury shoes are shoes that are affordable and were popular in the former Steve & Barry stores. During the announcement of the release, Stephon Marbury was in a discussion with a twitter fan. What followed was something magical. Stephon Marbury said something that I and many others have been saying for years. The Jordan's craze is top much. Paying $200 for sneakers is crazy and the "incidents" that have been happening are sad. Teens killed, robbery, and the impriso...

"Small town n****, Hollywood dreams I know that everything that glitters ain't gold I know the sh*** not always good as it seems But tell me till you get it how could you know How could you know? How could you know?" -  J. Cole "Tale of 2 Cities"                                           " Everything That Glitters Ain't Gold " Everything that glitters isn't gold. This is something major that I want to express to y'all. In a society were gold is everything (gold chains, gold I-phones 6S, and gold grilled rappers), we as young Black males can easily lose our way if we feed into the "trap." Further, unless your parents are rich, there is no such "legal thing" as quick money. Therefore, not only could a brother lose his way, but you could lose your lif...

Dog, I going Back-To-Back. Hi, what's up with y'all. Yo, I figured that many of y'all will buy the book. That is great and believe me it is much appreciated. However, I wanted to do something special for y'all. A lot of you guys have been rocking with me for a minute now. Therefore, I figure out a way to say thank-you. So this is what were going to do. You know how when you buy a album, you get just the regular album. However, some offer a deluxe edition, the regular album but with free bonus tracks. Well, that is what were going to do. This will be a free- Brown Brother exclusive. Over the course of days, I will release tips and advice that is not in the book. I was going to save the advice for the next book, but keeping knowledge in notebooks seems crazy. Therefore, the posts will consist of five bonus tips that will surround a diverse base of topics. These may be ones that you may see in the second installment of the Brown Brother Series. However, I gi...

If you follow me on Twitter, you will see that the book is now available. As y'all already know, the book was a long and grand process.
