Lovers of the Zoo. It’s been awhile. The last time I wrote here, we did not yet have an Unstable Orange™ as the next president. Lucifer Swift™ was still underground and not out in the open, conspiring to make a “hip-hop” album with Supreme Light Skinnnedt™ Drake. And I could have sworn Ghost in the … Continue reading
During this past weekend, as if the week did not contain enough tomfoolery and fuckery, the weekend gave way more. Not only did Amy “I Am Racist and Untalented as Fuck” Schumer decide to once again be offensive to all five of our collective senses by releasing a “parody’ of “Formation”, but Drake went full … Continue reading
I gotta be honest with y’all: I’m still basking in the afterglow of Luke Cage. So much so that I’m not only planning on a re-watch so I can finally review it as promised but as you saw, I’ve written at least 3 pieces on it already. And you know…I probably would have written more … Continue reading
Nate Parker’s Magnum Opus has flopped. Hoteps, rape apologists, race-first ideology subscribers and Roland Martin are blaming Black feminists for it. But you know what? I’m not even mad. In fact, I am so gleeful as I write these words. Reckless ass articles are being written and published with less than an ounce of respectable … Continue reading
Well. It finally happened. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the premier White fave™ of many, showed her entire White ass. Still, despite how that GIF above might come across, I can’t say I’m shocked. In fact, I’m not really shocked at all. Sure. I had moments where I voiced support for some of her statements. I even … Continue reading
I know what you’re thinking: Lex…what in blazes are you going on about? Now, it’s funny that you mention that. I say this because recently, prior to the debut of Luke Cage, showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker sat down with SciFiNow to explain how and why he thought the show was a Hip-Hop Western. As someone … Continue reading
This weekend, I witnessed an interesting phenomenon. Well, not so much as interesting as it is old. To explain, several of my colleagues saw their mentions go up in flames after revisiting the issue of #AAIronFist. Part of the reason the tag reemerged was because of the revelation that Lewis Tan—who will be playing Zhou … Continue reading
In 2008, the Nerd Game™ changed forever when Iron Man dropped out of the sky like some fire ass Wu-Tang Clan joint (shout-out to the other, other Iron Man, Ghostface Killah). It’s been eight years since that happened. And in those eight years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has managed to morph into a robust and … Continue reading
If you’re like me, then you’ve been binge-ing Luke Cage (and live-tweeting it if you’re about that life) all weekend. And if you’ve been bingeing Luke Cage all weekend, then you know that it is as Black as we all anticipated. I pondered about how I was going to approach the cat that is Luke … Continue reading
I debated over what I would name this piece for a minute. Should I dedicate this to “colored girls” (Black women and Black feminists) since we’ve been battling “Lena Dunhams” since the beginning of time? Or should I dedicate this to the Black men Lena Dunham maligned, who, historically, have been killed because of the … Continue reading
