Brilliance Recognized...

Ryan Leslie (Pictured above with R&B singer Cassie) made his own black history this month when he released his self-titled debut album, Ryan Leslie on February 10th. After years of being overlooked and underated by the general public, this enigmatic and creatvie producer is finally getting the recognition a talent like his deserves.

See You In My Nightmares

Today Kanye's new album, 808s & Heartbreaks hit the stores, so I decided to pick it up. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of music on it; I assumed with Kanye using the auto-tuner on every track that it would be repetitive and eventually boring, but I was wrong. The beats are nicely varied; the guest appearances do the best the they can for the songs, they make sense; and the album art work is simple, yet very interesting. It all makes for a very nice package and I am quite happy with my purchase.

John McCain Concedes Election! Obama Wins!

I never thought it would happen in my life time. A black president of the United States! I am speechless; all I can say is light skinned boys 3, everyone else 0!

Peace.

CNN projects Barack Obama will win the US Presedential Election with 297+ Electoral votes! Yes we can! Yes we can!

Lewis takes it in stunning style!

Today, in arguably the most exhilarating final two laps of a Formula 1 Championship Lewis Hamilton became the youngest ever Formula 1 Champion! After a dastardly move by the BMW driver Robert Kubica with only two laps to go Sebastian Vettel (a future champion in his own right) was able to get the upper hand on Hamilton and pass him the Scuderia Toro Rosso, putting Hamilton in 6th place, out of the Championship by one point. Then, with less than one lap to go, the racing gods shone on Hamilton and the skies opened up and the Toyota of Timo Glock (still riding on dry weather tires) lost all of his advantage and Hamilton was able to pass him on the final corner for 5th place and the Championship. The quintessential moment that summed of the feelings in the pit lane was when the cameras went from the garage of the celebrating Vodafone McLaren team and Hamilton family to that of the celebrating Scuderia Ferrari and Massa family immediately as they got the news that Hamilton came in 5th. Oh, and although no one in the media is mentioning this, I will, Hamilton is also the first ever Black Formula 1 driver and now the first ever Black Formula 1 Champion! Congrats to Massa on the brilliant drive to 1st, but the day belongs to Hamilton hands down. Light skinned boys 2, everyone else 0!

Light skinned boys are coming back in style!

This morning I watched Jo-Wilfried Tsonga take the Paris Masters title over last years champion David Nalbandian in a thrilling 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win. Light skinned boys 1, everyone else 0.
