Kendrick Lamar, Hip Hop’s diamond, just dropped the iconic “Black Panther” soundtrack and I’m writing this blog post as I listen to it for the first.

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH x Angela Davis & Watch @Becauseofthem #BlackHistoryMonth Video! ❤️ cc @CNN via @lisafordblog
Happy Black History Month! The photo you see is of Angela Davis when Swedish TV journalists talked to the Black Panther activist in a 1972 jail interview — she was charged with but not convicted of murder — in footage that's part of The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 (and I'll elaborate on this in a moment). My sister was named after Angela Davis, "Angela Yvonne", so this is why I chose to shine a little light on Davis, in addition to the dope video by...,…

OCEAN’S 8 starring RIHANNA (Trailer) via @Lisafordblog
I’m a huge fan of RIHANNA’s, but that’s not why I’m going to an actual movie theatre to see this film (movie theatres is something that I never do). I’m spending money to see OCEAN’S 8 because the collection of actresses is freaking crazy. I will never forget Sandra Bullock’s iconic role in the football film, “The Blind Side” which made me wat to support her in every role she plays. But let’s talk about Sarah Paulson, and her camillion-like abilities to transform into any…

JOYNER LUCAS – “I’m Not Racist” (VIDEO) *Warning* Not For the Faint-Hearted via @lisafordblog
JOYNER LUCAS just released some real music that is going to give a lot of people cognitive dissonance and hopefully give different people a wider view on the subject which can help to get a better understanding of different opinions. No matter how you interpret JOYNER LUCAS’ very provocative “I’m Not Racist” music video, perspective is an evident topic and this song serves as a catalyst for continuing dialogue on race relations in the U.S. When I clicked on the video from Twitter, I initially…

CHRIS BROWN Gets Candid About Assaulting RIHANNA – “I Felt Like A Monster” (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
In this new candid video, promoting CHRIS BROWN’s documentary, “Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life”, Brown gets candid about his turbulent relationship with fellow superstar, RIHANNA. When that infamous highly publicized fight happened between the two after they attended Clive Davis’ Grammy event in February 2009, I remember thinking to myself...relationships between two beautiful rich successful lovers are the ones that are suppose to work out. A lot of people were living vicariously through Rihanna and Chris Brown and was rooting for them. It was…
