sound: Dead Prez x The Beauty Within


"You're the TRUTH, never doubt that."



"this Hollywood world so pretentious
every other girl got a perm or extensions
but you don't even rarely wear lipstick
still your beauty is a natural mystic
indigenous strong cheekbone from your lineage
not what the mainstream image is
natural hair as your heritage
but to see it without chemicals
is rare as the pyramids." -Dead Prez

word: Juice x Soulja Boy 2011


Rapper Soulja Boy said to be claiming the late Tupac Shakur's role of Bishop in a remake of the classic movie Juice. YouTube vlogger featured above shares words of disapproval.

 I agree with the brother. I'm not upset with Soulja Boy, the problem lies with those giving Soulja Boy the platform to spread his stupidy and ignorace. There are a plethora of young Black actors that I'm sure would have been perfect for this role. Given the fact that there is a small Black presence in Hollywood as it is, it is troubling to see a legitimate movie role go to someone such as Soulja Boy who is underserving and illfitting.

product review: Kinky Curly Knot Today

Kinky Curly Knot Today has been on my list of "to-try" products an after hearing rave reviews about it I was anxious to give it a try.  After months of prolonged procrastination I finally made it to Ricky's NYC and got my hands on a bottle. I must admit I was not dissapointed. KCKT not only has alot of slip for easy detangling but is similar to its counterpart KC Curly Custard in the fact that it is also very moisturing. I went two whole days before I felt the need to remoisturize using Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie.

 FULL DISCLOSURE: I mixed jojoba oil, olive oil and organic aloe vera juice in with the Knot Today before I applied it to my hair, therefore this review is a bit skewed as I can't speak to how Knot Today works alone.
