Yesterday, Slim Thug pissed off the Black Female Delegation with this article on Vibe , speaking on the need for Black Women to stand by Black Men more. The bol @ EnigmatikBGDB has been toying with this new article idea, Are You Serious , and decided to pop that idea's cherry using this topic. I contributed a couple lines. Check it out , and be on the lookout for more AYS from BGDB .

I won't even start on the odd coincidence of this VH1 Soul scare going down during Black History Month. I do watch VH1 Soul on the regular, mainly for their Soul Story blocks, and just classic videos in general, and while the lack of diverse promos (they've had the same like 3 or 4 interludes for the last, oh, 3 or 4 years), I will definitely be upset if it leaves. If you get VH1 Soul and don't want to see it go, sign the petition . Their goal is 500 signatures, and they only need less [...]

He's recently compiled a huge library of sounds for a Loopmasters ' sample [...]

Photo of Pres. Barack Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama via Huffington Post This was definitely an unexpected and surprising story to hear of this morning via the FuseBox Radio/BlackRadioIsBack.com Twitter page this morning while moving on to the 9 to 5, especially after the weirdness of NASA bombing the Moon (yeah, that was real). However people feel about President Obama, his current accomplishments and/or leadership style in regards to qualifying for the Nobel Peace Prize (personally, I feel it's a bit soon, but the Nobel Peace Prizes [...]

Over here at BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast , we would like to wish everyone a Happy Black History Month for 2009 (and for my U.K. Peoples, early wishes since y'all celebrate it in October)! We are at an age where even in this supposed age of "post-racial" America with the election of U.S. President Barack Obama, there is still an insane lack of complete acceptance of People of Black descent worldwide and positive contributions to the world. As much as some - to be very nice - short-sighted people want [...]
