Plies Shows Them How It's Done.

Yes Plies is showing them how it's done with ease,  I have said it before I love what this man stands for. He has done so much for others from paying college tuition, to buying schools supplies and helping families with incarcerated parents to name a few. You never really hear about the things plies and his brother Big Gates do to help the community. Even after being in the rap industry for years, Plies has not once changed his principles, what he believes in or engaged in rap smearing battles  As he said before in his own words. 'You never see people that are successful in rap going after unsuccessful people.' And again Plies laid words of wisdom.  I had to dedicate this to Mr. Plies not surprised that you wear this side of you so well. As for me I always see you as this person. Principles and class.  Show them how its done Plies.

Plies shows them how its done.

Plies



Alert: Video Release "Made Myself A Boss"

Raps not my thing but I do have a favorite "Bust it Baby" yes, that's right.   Plies has released another album or well not sure what it's considered. but one thing for sure it "Ain't No Mix Tape Big"  click the link to download now: Ain'tNoMixTapeBih

Yes!!! Fox's Lucifer's Premiere Date


Fox has set the premiere date for their "Lucifer" TV series for January 2016.  Sorry didn't catch it. Yes premiering 2016 was posted over and over. But think about it there's 12 months in 2016:)


far left) Mazikeen Lesley Ann Brandt, (front Left) Lucifer Tom Ellis, (far right) Chloe Dancer Lauren German (front right) Amenadiel DB Woodside


far left) Lesley Ann Brandt, (middle Left) Tom Ellis, (midlle right) Lauren German ( right)DB Woodside




Fox's "Lucifer" has the making of another hit like their Empire TV series has shown to be.  The "Lucifer" pilot showing at Comic Con in July gave some a glance at what to expect from the series and fans were not disappointed if you read my other post several who attended seem to agree Fox's "Lucifer" was going to be a winner for Fox.

Since my blog I have gotten many viewers and made some new friends. OK, I've seen it.  I loved it and my opinions are a bit different from some others Yes, Tom Ellis as Lucifer is everything that everyone has been saying. His natural personality and charm just jumps off and it's exactly how a devil is suppose to be:)  But my goodness they really hit the jackpot with Tom Ellis his character is going to reel viewers in.  Also the really wonderful chemistry that Tom Ellis's character Lucifer has with Lauren German as Detective Chloe Dance is amazing. The thought is nice but it's so impossible but they are so cute together. I won't go on any more it's not that much longer to wait.

Lesley Ann Brandt. (who is getting married. Please go and send her blessings. I will post their Twitter and Instagram accounts.) character Mazikeen does a wonderful job of trying to get Lucifer back into his devil mode. Reminding him of who he's suppose to be and what he's suppose to do.

My opinion is much different from the opinions of some Comic Con viewers on DB Woodside's character, Lucifer's big brother, the Angel Amenadiel.  Seeing it for myself.  I didn't have the same feelings about Amenadiel at all from the comments in another post. Amenadiel is a big brother. Kinda like the big brother that's tired of a little brother that keeps breaking rules and never gets punished and tries to punish him his way by any means, but in a much more serious supernatural powers kinda way.  I think DB Woodside is in his character, how it should be and very well.  Being a big fan in the past since "The Temptations" DB Woodside has always seem to portray his characters very well.

Updates will be posted:)

Morris Chestnut At ESSNCE Festival 2015




Interview with Morris Chestnut at the 2015 Essence Festival. If you want to  go back and  learn what went on at Essence 21st Birthday Celebration and festival Here's a link: http://www.essence.com/festival  July 2-5th.  How much more is there to say. Can you really resist a gorgeous and charming man that happens to love black women? About Morris's "Sweet tooth" lots of black people have those:).

For those of you who might not be familiar when black people had "git togethers" a term used that meant visiting or gathering together food was used, especially sweets as ways of showing love. Inviting people in and feeding them also. Because they didn't have a lot of material things to give to show their love. Many black people have what is called a "sweet tooth" from growing up eating Mom and Grandma's delicious "sweets" Pies, cakes, homemade ice cream( Essence festival post I rambled on with a bit of black history ) . 
Morris hope you treated yourself a bit to some goodies:)

Fox's Lucifer Cast Attend Comic Con San Diego 2015

If you didn't attend Comic Con San Diego. You missed a chance to get a peak at Fox's Lucifer pilot episode before the TV airing . ( It will actually come to Fox in 2016)
I did get a few inside opinions after chatting with a few by DM on twitter who had the pleasure of attending Comic Con San Diego. The opinions seemed unanimous Lucifer looked like a hit for Fox.  I asked each one if they thought Lucifer could be as big as Fox's Empire.  No one confidently answered Yes , but they did feel if the writer's continued it could be another big hit.  I did get the opinions it was full of sex, murder and drugs and may be a bit too mature for little one's ( Young children really shouldn't be watching certain shows) 
Of course the women that attended just adored "Tom Ellis" who's the one and only Lucifer. The ladies said Lucifer seem very charming in the pilot while Lucifer's brother the Angel Amenadiel Played by "DB Woodside" really came off as unlikable for now (one used Jerk). After seeing it I thought they both  played their characters very well Tom Ellis seems to  really fit his character's personality Tom Ellis shows a very sweet and charming side in person his twitter feeds really show this type of personality. Db Woodside's character is a bit different from the  business man, lawyer type characters he's been known for.  It's good to see him in a different role.   Here's a few pictures from Comic Con 2015. 

Do you think Tom Ellis is enjoying Comic Con with co-star Lesley Ann-Brandt?

Toni Morrison Lastest Novel: God Help The Child

Toni Morrison

Toni Morrison award winning, over 13 awards One being the Nobel Prize in Literature, literary legend who is 84 years old.  Is showing the world she is no where near retiring or has no thoughts of it. " I know how to write forever" is what Mrs. Morrison told New York Times columnist Colin Archdeacon  about her love of writing.  (You can get more of that story at the link following the story.)  And it's so wonderful to know we will be graced with another novel from Mrs. Morrison the title: "God Help The Child" available April 21, 2015

God Help The Child by Toni Morrison (Available April 21, 2015 Hardcover $14.97 Amazon.com)

  This novel, Mrs. Morrison says, tackles the internalized racism that has plagued the African American community about skin shade since slavery and the affects of it.  And the summary of the novel
reveals how the story does just that, it's about a Mother who is lighter skinned ashamed of a daughter that is born very dark skinned. As described in excerpts from the novel " Sudanese black","midnight black" the Mother was so bothered by the color of her child's skin shade she would not allow her daughter to call her "Mama" but only allowed to call her "Sweetness"  Again Mrs. Morrison pulls at the heart strings and touches places that are difficult to address.
Listen to her interview with Colin Archdeacon's video for the New York Times: http://nyti.ms/1FkEKGS
Thank you Mrs. Morrison for continually giving those of us that love reading great stories. I can't wait, I will be one getting my copy on April 21, 2015.  I will update when I finish reading. Please post up your thoughts!

Spotlighting This Award Winning, Inspirational Musical Genius: WordSmith



 
 
 
Empowering, Inspiring, and spiritual are words I would use to describe the Artist  known as Wordsmith's music. With so many bands and artist it's so hard to find a truly unique one. But that's definitely not the case with the artist Wordsmith.  His music is truly an inspirational form he not only has a style that works for the hip hop community but his music can touch and relate to anyone that has a family or just trying to survive and you don't have to cover your children's ears when they are around. Which may have a lot to do with him choosing to stay in full control of his music by being independent. He's currently with the label Nu Revolution. I shared a video so you can listen for yourself: "Gems of Wisdom ft. BJR"


off of his most recent album below



 Love the beat and music of this, one of my favorites "I Got a Promotion" from his Apt. 507 album.


Wordsmith's in his own words (taken from his Indiegogo campaign page)

"You have a purpose in life. That’s right, YOU! We are all here to make an impact on not just our personal lives, but the lives of family, friends and ultimately the strangers who may cross your path from time to time.
Point is, we all have a purpose in life and I really would like to have a bigger voice in this world. I’ve always wanted to spread my message of purpose and how important it is to seek out your gifts in life. I want to speak for the families, the single mothers, the single fathers, the blue collar worker and most of all our youth.
Music is my gift. The way I can help this world is by using my talents to spread a message that will help everyday people wake up each morning and ask themselves, “What am I here to accomplish? Who can I give a helping hand to, and how can I be a productive member of society?” I make music for the masses, and I want the world to know that there are artists like myself out here who have something to say, don’t use profanity and seek to make a change in this lifetime.
Stay real,
Wordsmith"

If you would like to learn more about Wordsmith and help him reach his goal of $32,000.00 also continue to spread his inspiring music. click the link: http://igg.me/at/WordsmithEP/x

Please go to Wordsmith twitter and let him know how you enjoyed his music. :@Wordsmith https://twitter.com/wordsmith
Thanks Wordsmith for your positive and real messages.  I look forward to more of your projects.
(I will continue to keep watching for new information on Wordsmith definitely one to watch.)

Black Actors Land More Roles This Pilot Season


Variety Magazine March 4,2015

http://variety.com/

Title read:

"Networks Turn Up the Volume on Minority Actors This Pilot Season"

And yes this was true Pilot after pilot picked up African American actors and actresses about 73 which half were cast in leading roles).  Casting Director's weren't completely convinced with ABC's Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder. But after record breaking views for Fox's Empire I think someone got the message. African American's matter in this TV ratings game. A few of the pilots that added African American cast members.


 

Latoya Luckett joins NBC's "Love is a Four Letter Word"



Lesley-Ann Brandt joins Fox's "Lucifer"



Mike Epps lands lead role in ABC's Uncle Buck as Uncle Buck

http://www.billboard.com/files/styles/promo_650/public/media/malcolm-jamal-warner-press-2015-billboard-650_.jpg

Malcolm Jamal Warner (great to see him land one) Fox's "48 hours til Monday"
I'll be posting more of the pilots and cast members soon.  Congratulations to all.  Ok now it would be great to see Casting directors making the same moves with African Americans in leading Blockbuster Movies. You have to know we spend big bucks at the cinema you want to see us come out do what you are doing with the TV pilot casting.  Just drop all of the stereotypical stuff its about time you stop pretending you don't know how classy and wonderful we really are:).
