I come to you in hopes that you can point me to some reading that will help me understand the root of homophobia especially in regards to POC and/or West Indian culture. I grew up in a west indian household and I can’t seem to understand why in our culture and even African culture it is responded…
‘Clay Cane Live,’ Episode 71: Remembering Mark Carson
Mark Corece, Damion West, J’Nara Corbin and myself were all in the studio reflecting on a sad week in New York City. As many of you heard, there were several anti-gay hate crimes, which included Mark Carson who was shot and killed in Greenwich Village — an area that many believe to be a “safe space.” But what is safe? The crew talk the tragedy, plus, the Billboard Music Awards and share dating horror stories.

Tourists are crowding onto a Bronx bus tour that promises “a ride through a real New York City ‘GHETTO’ ” — and local politicians are furious.
Three times a week, Real Bronx Tours takes riders — mainly white Europeans and Australians — on a trip that includes stops at food-pantry lines and a “pickpocket” park.
Last week, on the first stop of the $45 tour, guide Lynn Battaglia, from Pittsburgh, pointed out a housing project. She then mocked the Grand Concourse, modeled after a Parisian boulevard.
“Do you feel like we’re on the Champs-Elysées?” she teased a couple from Paris.
You know what? I’m not EVEN upset about this. You know why? I like when racists and institutional racism are OVERT. Makes these degenerates and their degenerate system easier to spot.

Happy Birthday, Grace “No Man Can Turn Down This P***y” Jones
Today the performance art icon turns 65. As Grace Jones once said, “Feeling like a woman, looking like a man…” — Grace was gender-bending before it was popular, especially for a black female artist from Jamaica.
Check out one of Grace’s classic moments below… seriously, Strangé needed her own spin-off!
Donna Summer Passed Away One Year Ago Today
It has been exactly one year since Donna Summer became the queen of disco heaven. Donna is truly missed and her songs are still on heavy rotation on my playlist.
I love the picture above — anyone who perfects the hand-to-face pose is a true icon! Check out the Lady of the Night emoting to “Love to Love You Baby.”
Twenty Years Ago the No. 1 Album in the Country Was…
This week in 1993, the soundtrack of the Bodyguard would start its final three weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album would rock number one for the last three weeks of May, totaling 20 weeks at the top of the chart.
Side note: Was I the only one mesmerized by Whitney’s array of headpieces in the film? The bejeweled waterfall really needs to make a comeback!
Best performance of “I Have Nothing” below. Sing, Whitney …

Twenty Years Ago Today the No. 1 Song in the Country Was …
Remember how the first single from a Janet Jackson album always included a long-form video with Damita teasing her dancers with a tape? ”That’s the Way Loves Goes” was the last video with this storyline and the song was a huge hit. On May 15, 1993 the song hit number one, making it her sixth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100. The song rocked number one for eight weeks and earned Janet a Grammy for Best R&B song in 1994.
By the way, what is up with Jennifer Lopez’s accent? Did René tell her, “We need more Latina!”
Here’s to a classic!
Thirty Years Ago Today the No. 1 Song in the Country Was …
Michael Jackson ruled the world in 1983 and exactly thirty years ago he scored his fifth no. 1 with “Beat It.” The red leather jacket, the iconic dance moves (choreographed by the late, great Michael Peters who won a Tony for Best Choreography for Dreamgirls), the curl in the front — MJ was king.
Check out the most famous performance of the song where he debuted the Moonwalk — at Motown 25.

These 11-Year-Olds Are Metal As F***
There is a metal band in Brooklyn called Unlocking The Truth that is made up of three 11-year-olds. They make every band in the nu-metal scene look like total garbage. Not that that was difficult.
These kids have some seriously dope metally riffs and breakdowns. Not sure when they have time to come up with those in between doing homework and…I don’t know, what do 11-year-olds do these days? We have no idea. Play Pokemon?
Yo, little dudes. Wanna play the next show we put on? Offer is on the table. One catch: You gotta show us how to beat this last level on Bioshock Infinite.
