Check It Out: HBO Presents...

What's Good?
HBO is premiering a new show that helps all young people of today by using some very familiar faces. Kid Cudi is one of the most notable ones in the show but lack air time. The show is very reminiscent of the show Entourage. I really believe this show will be big after all one of its executive producers is Mark Wahlberg, who I believe to be one of the most notable up and coming producers.

Never Forget: Black History Month

Alvin Ailey

(Jan.5,1931- Dec. 21,1989)

The art of dance has been one of the most beautiful art forms ever. Growing up in Brooklyn I was only exposed to hip-hop dance until the day I was invited to 'Ailey at the Apollo' two years ago and I was speechless. Taking in this art form gave me a whole new appreciation of art. Basic Ballet has been one of the original forms of revolutionary dance until the world was shaken by a man who revolutionized the very art form of the dance you know now. Alvin Ailey has been the lead man of revolted American Dance for 50 years. Born in Roger, Texas  Ailey was the son of Lula Cooper and absent father during a strong time of segregation. Later The Ailey family search for a new life following a lucrative job attainment in Los Angeles supporting the war. Since his young teen year Ailey was always interested in the arts. He later joined the Horton school to pursue his love of dance where they taught classical ballet and native dances. While creating his dance group he creating a dance segment that shocked the world titled 'Revelations' which reflected his the upbringing of Texas. This form of dance has lead him to uplift the number of the African-American participation in this art form. If you haven't seen a show I recommend you place this on your list because this show who is now direct by the beautiful Judith Jamison is breath taking. 

Music Update:

The game is dropping songs here and there recently. His style is switching up a lil bit but its for the win I think... I think his next album will be dope 4real... Here is a track that is going to be on his The R.E.D. Album .... also a track Lucky posted before ... I think its hilarious....

Never Forget: Black History Month

Everyday of this month we will celebrate the life and accomplishments of some people who have changed the world one way or another. Black History month is to help people of African Descent to remember where they came from.
First us at November's Child would like to Honor...THE Dr. Carter G. Woodson.
Born 1875 in New Canton, Virginia and Child of James and Elizae Woodson. Carter like most children in the late 1800's were self-instructed when it came to education. After switching occupations from coal miner to educator Woodson later found himself at The University of Chicago where he received his MA. He later became a member of The OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY INC. His search for greater education did not stop there, he later became the 2nd African American to receive his Ph. D at Harvard University. While The African American Community began to expand, the community was also in search of their history, which bolted a movement that was led by Woodson. This movement helped him to be dubbed as The Father of Black History.

New Music Update

Well it's been a while but surely we are back to supply the hits. Im pretty sure you guys know the drill by now.

The Game has been ghost as far as making music. The beef he brewing with 50 is getting old. He should  listen the words of the late great B.I.G. "F$%k that beef shit that shit is played".

Lil is fresh off a phenomenal performance at the Grammy's. Keep working brother and keep your spirit while being held down. "Trap but cant trap my mind" - Young Jeezy
Runnin' -Lil' Wayne feat. Mickey Factz

Well DJ Khaled has another album out... His voice is annoying but (his) music is good. Victory coming soon. The highlight of this song is my fellow Brooklynite Shyne -Po. I really want him to return to the game although he is place is in Belize now.

Most people say he has a blend Andre 3000 in his colloquialism some say he is his own man. NC has put their stamp of approval on this man.
