When I first got this link via the FuseBox Radio/BlackRadioIsBack.com Twitter account barely 12 hours into the tragedy going on over in Haiti, even my relatively unphased by mainstream media foolishness self was a tad shocked. Pat Robertson hasn't exactly been known for loving People of Color or others outside of his "norm" throughout his career , so ignorant statements on the daily isn't terribly surprising from him or his camp. However, at a time frame when even Fox News calmed down on their partisanship a bit to cover Haiti [...]

On the real, this story works a nerve for me and the BlackRadioIsBack.com / FuseBox Radio Broadcast crew for a few reasons... Classic Era Hip-Hop MC Roxanne Shante has been pushing this story about being not just a rare winner in a music industry that shorts artists in general (much less those in the realm of Black/Urban Music) but getting her education on top of that for a good while, at least since the second QD3 directed " Beef II " documentary series dropped in my memory. In the [...]

And some people wonder why over there the BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast Family is so for independent media & not for big media groups trying to be all up in everything (especially saying their stations are the only one's who serve a certain community or viewpoint). Props to Josh Stearns for letting us know this info via our Twitter account...SMH at this entire mess: Clear Channel Suing a Community It Serves By Jerry Del Colliano Cumulus CEO Lew [...]

Discovering the news about the Black Issues radio program "News & Notes" is pretty depressing to me and the BlackRadioIsBack.com family, especially coming from what is seen as one of the more balanced mainstream radio outlet's that exists in the United States. Everyone is cutting back due to budget cuts and losses of money due to a bad economy and the National Public Radio (NPR) organization is not above that fray, unfortunately . But why "News and Notes" had to be one of the few programs chosen to [...]

* Sigh * at this Dude Folks can't leave well enough alone...there is absolutely NO concrete reason why this case is even still being considered at this level of the justice system. Hell, you know it's bad when blantantly politically biased justices like David Souter and them are calling the court case a piece of trash. Justice Clarence Thomas must still be paying folks back for those previous political positions with Pres. Ronald Regan's EEOC Department back in the day and whatnot as well as being able to [...]

Memphis Bleek is one of those Hip-Hop MCs who never really got a high amount of shine due to getting the bad end of the stick with Rocafella with his album releases (how can your last album's main single that got mainstream play be "Dear Summer" - which evolved from Jay-Z's "Summertime" freestyle - and the you weren't even ON THE TRACK?!?) I saw this first originally on Bossip and honestly don't have a terrible amount of stuff I can even think of saying...this is 3 minute commerical song thingie (no title better [...]
