Over the last three decades, Bad Boy Entertainment has wowed us with hit songs from a roster of relatable and talented artists. Puffy redefined the negative connotation of a “bad boy” into that of a braggadocio showman with an astute fashion sense and an abundance of hubris that oozed likeability. We partied to the music,...

The excuse I gave for my missed attendance was, “I’m grown.” Now, that response could have...

A television show about female strippers in the south is guaranteed to be a hit show with men, especially when nudity is involved. Add a little complexity to the characters, sprinkle in some hard truths with provoking storytelling and you have Starz’s hit series P-Valley.

Over the last 30 years, Mary J. Blige has been in search of self-discovery and freedom.

Picking up where she left off on Strength of a Woman,...
This isn’t the same story about how Will’s life got “flipped-turned upside down.” In fact, they dive into the “one little fight” that was far more than a fight, and the no-good guys were up gangbanging and drug slanging. Needless to say, this reboot isn’t anywhere close to the original 90’s sitcom we fell in love with…it’s...
