The Lovebug - Gigio [Free Album]
Associated Fresh presents you with another treat out of the infamous Dren Doh's secret vault. This one is a very special one because well, we took the time to do something for the laaaaaaaadies! Ahhh yeah, that's right! And fellas, take heed and maybe you can soak up some game on this one, because Usher & Ne-yo been goin' at it all wroooooong!
Trust me, baby, I know what you're thinkin'. As the hardcore lyricist battlerap style flippin' emcees we are, we can get caught up in ripping wack rappers to shreds and defecating on their remains! But this time, we didn't rip anything or anyone to shreds! No, baby, this time, we made the bed for you, lit some lavender scented candles, prepared a buttermilk massage treatment, and broke out the sparkling apple cider bottle because you're so sweeeeeet!
So just sit back. Relax. Close your eyes. Picture yourself on a boat in a river, lost and cold and scared. And you see something swimming down stream toward you. And you get frightened because you think it's a crocodile comin' at you! You bite your lip and your blood curls, when the mysterious figure breaks through the surface of the water, and your heart jumps when you realize it's not a crocodile! No, it's me, Gigolo Cee! And I aims to please and makes you my main squeeze!
I look deep into your eyes and I ask, "Hey, girl, you got a stereo?"
And you say, "Uhh yes, baby!"
And I whip out this CD and I say, "Here, girl, put this on! It's called The Lovebug!"
Without further ado, The Lovebug. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Who is Mary Jane?
Support the arts and progressive movements. Take time to check out the video and partake by donating. Details below:
Who is Mary Jane?
A few years ago I read a book called "The Botany of Desire" by Michael Pollan. What fascinates me about this book is how Pollan manages to be so captivating by writing about four seemingly boring plants: tulips, apples, potatoes, and the subject of Here Now Dance Collective's next project, cannabis. Well, let's be honest, cannabis has never been a boring subject, and, it turns out, that as a focal point of study, marijuana can reveal some intriguing stories that move far beyond the obvious political and social discussions. As director of the Here Now Dance Collective, I am creating a contemporary dance performance that digs deep into our relationship with this fabled plant. With a diverse group of dancers, filmmaker Matt Barkin, and composer Jeff Stevenson, we are crafting a multi-disciplinary production that shows the audience a broad prism of images--something much more colorful than its green, marijuana-glazed surface.
Who: Here Now Dance Collective and Friends
What: HNDC shows a first draft of their newest work "Who is Mary Jane?"
When: Feb. 17/18, 2010
Where: The Garage, 975 Howard St.

Thoughts of the Day
1. The elephant in the room is still institutional prejudice and racism, until that is fully extinguished the “Dream” will not be realize.
2. Like MLK, Obama is just one man, one human, with feelings, a family, and faults. You would be wrong to think that by supporting him or believing in him like he is some sort of savior, you are somehow not racist or prejudice. You have to deal with that as an individual, not with a vote.
3. To celebrate MLK day without discussing the significance of Malcolm X like selling only half a painting.
4. until there is a complete overhaul of the educational system and a leveling of the economic (and not pacify practices like welfare or affirmative action) playing field, specifically in low income communities, the ideal of a “post-racial” America will never come to fruition.
5. The children are a future; teach them what is right, not what is convenient.
6. Educated, progressive minded people need to have more babies...yeah I said it
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s last speech
I would say that this speech actually had more of an impact on me personally than the I have a dream one...
