VH1 Working For Diddy Show 1

I caught the first episode of Vh1’s I Want To Work For Diddy and, it might be the best business related show on TV (right now) and the Best (Majority Black) reality show out of Project Runway and Make Me A Supermodel (US). I think this show gives people who are really business minded [...]

Is Will Smith’s Hancock A Subliminal Message For (Black) Men?

The new Will Smith/Overbrook Ent backed movie, Hancock, protrays his character as a homeless man, with miraculous super-hero strength. The movie tag line:
Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock’s well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake.
