Sarah Palin Attacks President Obama...with Palm-Written Notes?
Republicans are hoping for Obama's exit once his tenure is up in 2012, but who do they think would be an appropriate candidate? It's too early to be absolute on this claim, but it's safe to say that Sarah Palin has some Republican supporters. During a 45 minute talk with her disgruntled anti-Ob…

BLACK HISTORY MOMENT: THE OSCARS
BLACK HISTORY MOMENT: THE OSCARS
I must admit, it feels so damn good whenever a Black actor is nominated or awarded for a Academy Award because it's so rare that it happens! With the hype around Precious this year, we could see another Black actor (Mo'Nique) walk away with one.
Let's take a look back at some past winners who made history with each win:
Hattie McDaniel (Best Supporting Actress for Gone With The Wind, 1939)
Sidney Poitier (Best Actor for Lilies of the Field, 1963)

She is making a boring rap industry fun. Continue

- Launched off of the meteoric success of co-founder, Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, The ROC represents a borderless, global lifestyle. With Roc-A-Fella Records serving as the initial launch pad, The ROC realized its prowess in creating culture far beyond the realm of music. Hence, the birth of the apparel company, Rocawear. Like Roc-A Fella Records, Rocawear quickly staked its claim in hip-hop history becoming the destination brand for street savvy consumers. Rocawear maintains a focus of providing clever innovation in fabrication, application and design to its customer. It has been the brand's attention to detail that has pushed Rocawear’s appeal beyond its core urban customer. Ten years have passed since the genesis of The ROC...and a dynasty now reigns.
