It's Hard to get Wasted on Jail Juice Boxes...

Gucci Mane, featured on countless hits by The Black Eyed Peas, Plies, Mariah Carey, and 50 Cent was sentenced to one year in jail yesterday in an Atlanta federal court. His upcoming album The State vs. Radric Davis slated for a December 8th release is almost prophetic in nature as he will no longer don the icy chains and Gucci hats; his Fulton County jail inmate jumpsuit should fit just fine.

Good Hair

So over the weekend I took some time out of my busy schedule to go catch a flick. I had been wanting to see Chris Rock's movie Good Hair since I heard that it was coming out. Being a conscious individual I thought that the documentary would shed some light on the industry of African American hair care. I won't ruin the movie for you if you haven't seen it but it is definitely enlightening. Chris Rock took a historical perspective and a cultural context exploring nearly every facet of the business and culture from hair care manufacturing plants to barbershops to Korean-owned hair stores. The notion that majority of black hair care companies and businesses are dominated by Korean and Caucasians is addressed in addition to many other factors where Ujamaa is not practiced.
