SOB's Wednesday Showcase

Something Bout Live Bands that always steals my heart right away
Lol...Upon a lovely Wednesday in March I attended open mic night at the wonderful S.O.B's(off Houston) in NYC, Hosted by the awesome voice of Mr. Eric Roberson(twitter.com/@IAmEricRoberson). All in all of Course I attended in Support of the wonderful and Talented (twitter.com/@theElektrikKidd) aka Troy Durden original member of contemporary gospel group "Bobby Perry&R.A.I.N" all the way from Boston, MA..Holla! I entered to dim lights...low chatter amongst many congregated groups of young ears awaiting the phenomenon of the night. I made my way to my group of Bostonians(s/o2 Keeda&Tiff) and fellow Bandmembers. I get excited by seeing familiar friendly faces don't you? Lol Anyhoot with in no time the lights fade and the stage illuminates the lights. A Sultry manly voice blesses the microphone....the one and only Eric Roberson swoons ladies to the front of the stage...(Singing)freestyling by anything he saw..only ya imagination was his playground *wink wink* My My Eric could sing a sista outta her panties.....*whew!* he messes with me but for a second calling out "You woman in the sheer white blouse" my face blushes in embarrassment... for who likes to be called out unknowingly amongst peers to whom u may not have wanted to be known lol...I admit I liked it lol. Various Acts gave good stage presence but nothing was like Troy's...not only did he do his own thang he also did tribute to Prince and his own rendition of not 1 but 2 "Bad Boy" songs "Benjamins"& "I'm Coming Home" along w/the lovely back up singers Sharla,Coco&Cessy... Coco aka(@cocobread) tore that stage up and had males across the room jar drop! When she did lil Kims verse on "All bout the Benjamins" whoa! I was even rooting for her ....I'm ending this out with Folks Get out and go see live entertainment its worth every Penny!

Pressures vs. Common Sense

Currently watching Queen Latifah interview on TVOne w/Cathy Hughes, and I admire her intellect. She has stated a lot of issues/situations that are sadly true bout Black People and our young people. I personally am raising two children on my own,by choice yes...would I have had it that way nope!I have a girl&boy who will be in this world nowadays that truly show their values where as it regards "Black Youth". It is Horrible that many young women&men are more interested in sex&fashion than knowing what's the square root of 69....but will joke around and say "Hey u wanna do a "69"(sexual position) I wanna scream "Wake UPPPPP!" Just like Lawrence Fishburne did in Spike Lee's "School Daze" Just the other day on the bus I watched a young boy wine his hips in front of this girls face and openly ask her to suck his dick! I was pissed and embrassed for her. Situations like that anger me and frightened me like that cause "what about the children" as Yolanda Adams sings in her song..yes! What about them..we as parents have to focus soo much more on them. Yes We are tired after coming in from a 9-5pm but that doesn't mean we just leave our children to the wayside. People Wake Up from me on down Wake Up..Sex, Parties and Fashion will always be around but our Black Youth can't continue to go to Jail, be arrested or worst... We gotta do better...its just SaD!

NFL Players vs. Greed

Photobucket

It Saddens Me and many fans of the recent demise in the NFL league. Greed indeed has played a mighty force but also the ill regard towards its players. A Sport which has such heavy body contact and many injuries shouldn't be in such a situation. Whatever the players ask for they should get. It Isn't the executives on that field putting their life on the line it is the "Players". They have families to feed and bills to pay just like any of them executives. It is up until 5yrs that a player had health insurance then hance afterwards they are no longer taken care of under the leagues insurance #sad! Not only does a player put in all that work they are left to crumbs ..basically to the wild lol sadly to fend for themselves. The NFL better wake up cause Lawyers know Law but they dayuum sure don't know football or the repercussions....(To be continued)
