Hair is a struggle for most black women. Here is a comedic effort to bring some of these issues to light in Chris Rock's new Documentary. Currently being shown at film festivals all over the world, this is a definite must see. Here's the trailer:

Degrassi Movie
Stumbled across this gem and decided to share. Apparently Degrassi The Movie is coming out later this summer (August?) and will pick up where it left off. Three major characters end up in L.A. trying to achieve their respective dreams. All I want to know is where wheelchair Jimmy at?

"Just Breakfast"
Another day, another grind. Since more internet sites have been blocked at the the office I'm blogging from I Phone. Lord knows how much I adore this man and this video makes me giggle. The M.J shoulder dance...BEST! I've had this song in my head all day. I hope it makes you giggle too.
Enjoy!!!

Could Somebody Give This Man the Prize!
Black people have been thinking these things for years, but finally this team of people were able to capture it in 1 minute and break it down in a way that people of all races can fully understand what we think. If you haven't seen this video yet, here you go :
Here is another one that has been less circulated around the web that had me dying until the end SMH:
Check out one more after the jump:

Ricky MuthaEffin Bobby
Ok, so these "dance crazes" may be new to the states, but us Jamaican folks have been pulling these out of our asses since day 1. From the pepper seed, to the butterfly, to the go go whine (youtube these to be schooled) so things like the mother effin g-slide can sit down. Now looky here, we've got the Ricky Bobby. All I have to say is this dance is reason enough for a break up. If i saw my boyfriend starting to do that bouncy shake thing, it would be a done dadda, no questions asked.

The Beginning of Racism
Now this is the first of a series of posts to come about the prevalent topic of RACISM. It is 2009 but this topic is as relevant as the recession. There is so much to say from both me and Kizz, so I'm going to say pardon us from now if the things that come out of...our keyboards (i was going to say mouths but you can't hear us)...are a little all over the place. So forgive us if we go off into tangents. This is not thought out, planned, or censored, so if you have any questions, thoughts, comments or anything, please feel free to post.
So let me start off by saying that we are all Racist. Some of us a little more (or a lot more) than others, but we are ALL racist. We all carry preconceived notions and thoughts around about one another. As humans we judge people by their appearance before they even open their mouths. If anyone says they don't , they're liars. But don't get me wrong, because I am not condoning this behaviour nor am I saying that it's accepted, I'm just saying that it's fact.
I am only racist a little bit. I have the sense to know that people do not fall into the same category just because of the melanin (or lack thereof) in their skin. I know that demographics are not the sole factor in determining who people are and what they believe in. After all I am a prime example. I have had every opportunity to go down the "wrong" paths, and I've fought hard not to. Lots of people I know/knew are teen parents, into drugs, are high school drop outs, and everything in between. But that didn't mean that I had to. I've learned that you cannot judge a book by it's cover, but also that the cover is very important for people to get to know you (or to pick you up going back to the book reference).
Where I think I am a bit racist is the "usual" (unfortunately) remarks and imitations about other races. I usually catch myself and say "I am so racist", but that doesn't stop me from continuing. Allow me to clarify that when I say imitations, I am not talking about Miley Cyrus physical racism, more like accents or name calling, which is probably on the same playing field I guess. It's funny how we try to downplay our racist tendencies, always thinking that what we do is harmless and unoticeable. But I'll tell you about one thing that Kizz and I most def noticed, this commercial is racist as hell, "Black people like music. Blacks like R&B, yeah let's use that" Who do you think you are fooling McDonalds? This ish has got to stop:
Oh, and I'm in Calgary right now, aka Home of the White People (see just a tad bit of racism) so there will def be a post about life here for the next few weeks.
Get Into It..
Just because..
This is a screen capture of someone playing the interactive music video game for MGMT's song "Electric Feel". There are 625 to the 229th power different ways the video can turn out. Download the interactive video at: whoismgmt.com/efvideo

Pre-Oscar Game
Kizz and I came across this game a little while back and thought it was one of the best things on youtube (and if you frequent youtube you know that that is a pretty powerful statement). We both agree there needs to be more games like this, if you know of anything like it, please post the URL in the comments section. Have fun! We played totally fairly until we were half way in...and then we started cheating. Let us know how far you get (w/o cheating!)
Check back later tonight for my 2009 Oscar Coverage.
Happy Music
There are some really great bands out there that don't get the shine they deserve. I'm happy that groups like MGMT are finally getting some mainstream attention, but others like Woodhands and Goldfrapp need some more. So I'm going to do my part in helping them by posting one of my favourite Goldfrapp videos, Happiness. It makes me smile. Everyone needs to just bounce around every now and then. It sure would brighten my day =)
Here is Woodhands, I Wasn't Made For Fighting. I saw these dudes live and I immediately went home and downloaded their tracks onto my Pod. Totally different, A-Mazing. Black people don't only listen to Hip Hop and R&B.
