Red Tails Movie Review By Verb X

Red Tails Movie Review By Verb X

Going to see Red tails was an ordeal and adventure in its self,that was almost better than the actual movie. That being said what could have been a historical fact based statement about the participation of African Americans in the WW2 effort and attitudes surrounding it. Instead it falls into the long line of movies meant to "celebrate" but in fact are nothing less than B-grade action movies(Panther comes to mind). With literally the cream of the crop in young black acting talent at his disposal director Anthony Hemingway from a screenplay by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder waisted an opportunity to really inform the viewers about this era. But the real question remains are African American interested in this kind of story? Is the movie establishment ready for this kind of story? Can a true telling of the plight of Minorities be really told honestly in a way that won't alienate white patrons and patronize educated Black audiences? This film didn't do it! I would see it if you wanna support black film making which will enable more black film making. I would see it if you like a good dog fight and some interesting visual effects. I would see it just to see Method Man acting like a hick airplane mechanic. But if you want historical facts...this isn't worth your time! So I would wait for the dvd and have movie night wit the kids and then google the Tuskegee Airmen!

Peace

Chiddy Bang@The 7th Street Entry by AK

Chiddy Bang Concert Review
1/30/12

By Ak

This was my 1st concert at the 7th Street Entry at 1st Ave, so I didn’t know what to expect. The ambience was a college type vibe, very close, and cozy. All I knew was “Chiddy Bang” was going to be performing and if they are good as they were on the Peanut Butter and Swelly album, I was in for a great show. The opening act, which was Wide Eyes, was cool, they brought the energy and had the crowd hyped up. After a while, the crowd began to chat Chiddy Bang, Chiddy Bang, Chiddy Bang! About a half hour after that, Xaphoon came out on the drums and the crowd with bananas and then a few seconds later Chiddy came onto the stage. They had great energy, it was a Monday night, and I had a long day. After about 10 minutes into their set, I had forgotten about my hard Monday and had regressed back to my college days. I was shouting out lyrics, bouncing, and jumping with the rest of the crowd. Someone from the crowd shouted “Yo’ Chiddy, go on FOREVER!” That was the consensus of the whole spot, they represented for hour and half. They did joints from their 3 albums “The Swelly Express”, “Peanut Butter and Swelly” and their forth coming album “Breakfast”. If you haven’t heard of Chiddy Bang by now and consider yourself a hip-hop fan, your sound asleep. If you are a Chiddy Bang fan or are on the fence, if you are lucky enough to have them come to your city, it would be worth your while to check them out.

The Media and The Occupy Wall Street Protest

The Media and The Occupy Wall Street Protest watch this report from CNN and look at how they deliberately skew,marginalize the movement and protesters! CNN makes it seem like its unfocused when in fact there focus is that Wall Street has committed crimes against the US tax payers and have not been held accountable! instead they were bailed out and are now using the media and manipulation of currency values to inflate prices, while funding The Tea Party to propagandize an agenda to give them more tax breaks and more freedom to rape and pillage the earth! There not Just a bunch of hippies they are actually the people who are "down the center" who want the government to be fiscally responsible and People who make the most carry the load! Its not rocket science if people who make less make more than we can buy more to make others money... Here is tHe Link View and judge for yourself http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/02/business/wall-street-protests/index.html?hpt=us_c1

My name is Verb x DJ,Producer,Event Booker,Activist and Social Commentator!

I've been involved with ,music since i was six years old singing in choirs,vocal groups,MC groups and just writing crews! As i turned 40 July 28th 2011(Sheesh) I feel like i've come to a point where my experiences maybe need to be documented as well as my views on life in general!

A common sense guide for the guys and gals who likes politics but maybe feel like the issues are being complicated by the Liberal and Conservative Media! I'm not gonna spin anything. I'm gonna present the Facts and let you judge for yourself! We will explore socially where music fits into this argument and will talk honestly about it cause thats what is whats been missing! Hopefully you'll like what you hear and read let me know how you feel!

Enjoy!

Soundset and The May Shower Mix- The Unmentionables

Good morning Twiiiiiiiin Ciiiiiities.

Today's a huge day in the TC. Why? You may ask. Today is, quite possibly, THE biggest hip hop music event of the summer. The good folks at Rhymesayers have done it again: pinching off of some of the TC's most prolific hip hoppers, blending them together with some up-and-coming national talent, sprinkling some big name acts on top and rolling it into a fat joint called Soundset. If you've never experience something of this magnitude, I highly recommend you and your moms check it out.

As always, remember to drink plenty of fluids and for my pale skinned brothers and sisters don't forget the sun block. For those of you who can't make to Shakopee I highly recommend hitting up the after party at First Ave ($10 Advance, $15 Door) staring your local DJ favorites and Z-Trip.

To get your day started off right, brought to you by The Department of Health of the great state of MN: DJ Darcy's Sister May Shower Mix: The Unmentionables.
