A_Con on Brown Sugar and Kanyes Street Lights

A_Con - Monday (6th)

...“Simplicity is the fine line between eloquence and plainness”. Now honestly…who can say that music nowadays could bring forth words like that? I mention that quote because it has stuck with me in many realms of my own life. In subtle moments of comedy, while I shop for clothing, and especially so when I listen to music. One particular song that I find holds true these characteristics is one released not too long ago called “Street Lights”...

Raheem Devaughn - Art of Noise Album Review

Gogoluver - Wednesday (1st)

It is not so often that you get a mixtape from an RnB artist. It seems that many more are crossing over because they have begun noticing that people are not paying for music as much as they used to. The best bet to build that "buzz" that every artist needs is through the mixtape. Raheem Devaughn decided he would try his hand at the mixtape circuit by releasing a full length mixtape. The real question is will Raheem Devaughn deliver a knock out blow for his fans or will he fall flat on his face? Click the header to find out.

Spike Lee In the Works of L.A. Riot Movie

Posted by gogoluver On 1:37 PM

Spike Lee producer Brian Grazer have announced that they are are planning on collaborating on a film that documents the 1992 Los Angeles riots. So how does a film document an event that happened almost 20 years ago you’re asking? Well according to Grazer, co-founder of Imagine Entertainment with Ron Howard, the film would be more of a “360 degree view of what that is, an autopsy of how a riot works.” He also tells ComingSoon.net that the film may be a priortiy for Spike and may beat his anticipated “Inside Man” sequel to the box office which was such a great movie. He better work on Inside Man first because Denzel is getting ooooooold.

“‘Cause I grew up in Los Angeles, and I was six or seven miles from this riot,” said Grazer. “It was a fascination. It was threatening and a fascination, both. I’ve always wanted to make a war movie, I haven’t done that. The visuals of that would be interesting and this is a way of doing a war movie in a modern environment and one that I know really well.”

I would definitely go out and see it. They might have thought to make the movie since Rodney King is on Celebrity Rehab. The details of what happen that night might have sparked Spike Lee's mind to make the movie. Maybe Obama too. But Spike Lee can't mess up a movie. He might get distracted though since his Knicks are actually winning games this season. We will just have to wait and see. I mean I am pretty much too young to know what actually happened so it would be good to see it in visual form instead of reading it from a book or Wikipedia.
