Rising Down

Tomorrow (April 29, 2008) Rising Down starring The Roots will hit stores. I am really excited about this CD not only because of The Roots but because it has a lot of my favorite artist featuring on the album. We got Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Styles P, and Chrisette Michele! Yeah this album should be crazy, so make sure you check it out.

History Lesson

The album cover was inspired by Norman E. Jennette. This picture was originally a cartoon illustrated and published in the Raleigh News And Observer. The drawing was called Negro Rule. It portrayed how the Confederate Union felt about freed slaves. They believed that if freed blacks obtained power it would only lead to complete chaos for the entire country. It doesn't surprise me that The Roots would be the one group that have some type of meaning to their album cover!

Ben Tour

Twenty nine year-old Toronto born artist Ben Tour, has one of the most profound styles that I have ever seen. With his long intensive process for each painting, it is not hard to see the intricate detail that goes into each work of art. "It's all in the eyes", Ben Tour says in his interview with Matthew Newton and Juxtapoz Magazine. You can't help but be hypnotized by the large pupils, long eyelashes, and the talking eyebrows that tell a story of their own. Currently one of my favorite artists, Ben Tour's artwork portrays an imagination that is endless. Click here to see more of his works.

Piece of Mind

I'm curious to see the first movie that I know of, that portrays the world of graffiti. Piece of Mind (yes I meant piece) is a documentary capturing two years in the life of four LA native graffiti artists. The documentary filmed by Evan Romoff and Keegan Gibbs captures what it is like to make a name for yourself in this competitive culture. With the use of two cameras (16mm and a Super 8mm) and several video formats, the raw uncut feel is definitely there. The release date for the DVD was just this previous Sunday (April 20, 2008.) I have not found exactly where you can purchase the film yet, but as soon as I find out, I will let you guys know.

WESC 2.0

Swedish made WESC headphones are at the top of the competition when it comes to design. I hate to say it but, those all white ipod headphones have gotten played out. I have noticed that during these times, swagga jackin is "not in." WESC are the makers of some very popular street wear, and they have crashed this reputation full speed into some.....headphones! Although project options were endless, this move to give headphones that same swagger that your wardrobe has actually is working. After reading some of the comments of people who have purchased the headphones, it is hard to tell the headphones' worth. Comments varied from, "not that good!" to, "they're freakin awesome!" As far as the design goes, WESC has created something I like to call brilliant!

Amazing! Jeff Beck

I'm Confused

My brother recently sent me this video, which shows Rendell (Clinton's biggest supporter and a super delegate) speaking so highly of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. My brother brought up the point that when Reverend Wright (Senator Obama's pastor) does the same thing Senator Obama is forced to denounce or reject (as Senator Clinton likes to put it) support given from Farrakhan. I'm just so confused how as long as the support does not come out of Hilary's mouth that its fair game!!! See the video below to watch another forced position Senator Obama was put in once again on the topic of Farrakhan.

Politics As Usual

The most interesting thing about this video is that it is entirely in Senator Clinton's own words. There are a couple of questions asked by some reporters, but the evidence is entirely given by Senator Clinton. Clearly you know who my vote is for, but if you are undecided on who you want to vote for Safehaven can help. Check out the Video Theater at the bottom of the page. It has some political debates with both Senator Obama, and Senator Clinton. I am not trying to tell you who to vote for, I just simply ask you to do your research!

The X Files

Listening to brother Malcolm during this debate simply amazes me on how someone can completely master the art of speech. While receiving some very difficult questions to answer, not once did brother Malcolm show any type of emotion other then a confident grin. When confronted with questions about prejudices being inflicted on his people, Malcolm's attitude was not threatening or intimidating other than the sense that he was more knowledgeable on topics than the other gentlemen at the debate. He was able to undermine the character of anyone you challenged him. For someone to undergo a complete metamorphosis like brother Malcolm truly amazes me. He was a true subverter, overthrowing ever question presented to him in such fluent fashion. Brother Malcolm was a true class act.

Remember April 4th 1968

Forty years ago a man who has reached majestic heights for the black community was assassinated. Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr. stood for change, equality, and love for all people regardless of race. With every word Dr. King spoke he hoped and prayed that a better tomorrow would be attainable. Dr. King worked vigorously, engulfing his mind with a method to ensure a positive fight against segregation, discrimination, and disgusting prejudices that not only African Americans face, but all minorities even till this day. I will not let April 4th pass me by without reflecting on how truly amazing this man was. I am thankful not only for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but for the uprising of a race that was left languished in the pits of society. Peace, Trevor Winston Lee
