Hey yall......sorry for not being consistent lately but I am closing another phase of my LIFE out and with that I have to hit and run as I can. I am going to leave yall with over 3 hours of 1 of the very BEST to ever pick up any instruments and his name is Roy Ayers . I wonder if he still lives in Brooklyn!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77hHIO9uHg4 Best of Stephanie Mills Who remembers Stephanie and why didnt she continue with her GREAT CAREER as a singer? I think that she saw the BULLSHIT and pulled back because the RUMOR goes that she was once Michael Jacksons gal during the Wiz. Anyhoo, as she is still the BOMB , check how she absolutely ROCKED this recent show! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0NxbKpZ9sY This is what PROFESSIONALISM is supposed to be about and as WE had a generation of WACK MUSIC, look for the great stuff to reappear!  Every young girl  sang a  SM song on the apollo in the 80s and 90s! Enjoy some Stephanie Mills yall!...

Joe Jackson is frustrated and upset. “We’ve worked so hard for so long, and now that we’re on top, you’re telling me it’s going to be over?” ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2hFdSoJ7mM Super Star by Lupe Fiasco Before WE get into OUR CAoTW # 30, lets talk about how all of these CO STARS have died & all in the last 3 weeks! 3 weeks ago, it was Kashif the INITIAL   FORCE behind Whitney Houston  and that is at  http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2016/10/classic-album-of-week-28-kashif-unsung.html    Then.......2 weeks ago, it was a dude named Rod Temperton aka that dude from the 70s disco band era named Heatwave who wrote plenty of songs after Michael Jackson went solo at  http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2016/10/classic-album-of-week-29-we-say-goodbye.html and now......... Tommy Ford of Martin fame is gone! I hope his ass went to get a job especially after I posted this just last week at  http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2016/10/httpswww.html. This dude spoke out for the FTP Movement and at 52 just perished. All the best to him and his FAMILY! Lets now get into OUR featured artist b...

As an ASIDE, this guy from the UK is the 2nd HEAVYWEIGHT DUDE involved with SUPER STARS in the RECORDING INDUSTRY to have died after Kashif who was HEAVILY involved with Whitney Houston!  http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2016/10/classic-album-of-week-28-kashif-unsung.html.  As no one is buying music anymore, clive davis & tommy motolla needs ways to generate money & are KILLING their former TALENTS to get that RESIDUAL MONEY!  Rod Temperton (on the far right), one of the most successful British pop songwriters of all time, has died aged 66 following a short battle with cancer. The hugely talented composer wrote Michael Jackson classics including “Off the Wall,” “Rock With You,” “Thriller,” “Baby Be Mine”, “Burn This Disco Out” and “The Lady in My Life”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjPKGAipbU Off the Wall FULL ALBUM by Michael Jackson  The Thriller album has sold in excess of 30m copies in the US , according to the RIAA, and continues...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI4sC5hidUg Knocks Me off my Feet by Stevie Wonder Yea, that's OUR GOD aka Muhammad Ali knocking george foreman the FUCK OUT! WE here in Part III and it's CRAZY how many of OUR GREATEST have gone into the ETHERS just this year. What a shame? But as the year goes along, lets cover just a few more deaths and be done with this topic and hopefully, YOU won't be in here. For Part II, go here at  http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2016/07/entertainment-is-entertaining-aint-it.html. Muhammad Ali was and still is BIGGER than LIFE! Who was more known as the GREATEST than he? As I do not wish to fill this article with fluff, I will refer to my 1st book aka, I ain't perfeKt but take it from Me as written by Dr. Boyce Watkins. I am speaking this week for the NAA CP. The Topic: The Black Male Athlete & their role in American societ y. Exactly what that role is, I am still not sure. All I can say with a certainty...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfmJf3DSKFY So.........it seems like I'm gonna do something that I don't do anymore & that's RANT! I ain't gonna put up too many links bcuz most of what will be included here will be recent events that happend & if ya not aware of 'em............well then do yo RESEARCH bcuz y'all gotta do ya own study & PROVE to SELF bcuz too much is going on! In late Feb, the M.C named Common & crooner John Legend won an Oscar for their song; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6BuXRTk5D4 . As the u.s has been reeling from the aftermaths of Garner & Browns death, what better way to get outside sensibilities THINKING that all is well than by MANIPULATING that WIN to show the WORLD that ni KKK a's can still make it in this ole boy circuit? In my book Boom bye bye Hip Hop will NEVA die available at this link, I painstakingly detailed just how this CONTROLLED MECHANISM WE call the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY really works! Mos...

To purchase ya hard back book DIRECT, hit this link at, http://www.lulu.com/shop/blak-smith/boom-bye-bye-hip-hop-will-never-die/hardcover/product-21458783.html Ok, what I wanna do now is go in just a lil on perhaps the two biggest devils in the music industry that I’ve already had to lots to say about and that’s Evil Devis and Bomby Tomolla. Y’all out there may be thinking that I’m talking about Clive Davis and Tommy Motolla but if so, so what? IDGAF what ya think! Ok, being that Devis is older, I’ll go in on him 1st. He made himself a distinct distinction even before he was a man in that he was born exactly 36 years before MLK’s assassination! Again to all of my numerologists, 36 can be read as three sixes or 6 to the third power aka 6 x 6 x 6 = 216.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq4rEnkBfiY . Ne-yo & j hud used this number on their duet, leaving tonight and so if ya think that they ain't using it.........now that we’ve established that, allow us to giv...
