As I sat and watched the red carpet activities for the Emmy Awards that aired recently, I said to myself, where are people of color? Are they in attendance? Are they there? If so, they are not being interviewed.

Something was wrong. Of course the same ole same ole’s were interviewed. Seal and his wife, and a few more but that was it. It was like African Americans and people of color do not act on television.

Readers I do not like to discuss color a lot here on my website, but today I was on the internet and saw beautiful actress Regina King’s article in the Huffington Post regarding the lack of African Americans and people of color nominated for Emmys this year.

In the last few years, only 53 non-whites have been nominated out of 1,000 nominations for a Emmy in the comedy and drama categories. Something is very very wrong.

Regina is also bothered by actress Alaina Reed not being included in this years memoriam for folks who have passed. Reed was a cast member on the legendary Sesame Street for 12 years!! How could she be left out readers? It is beyond me.

I watched the Emmys and was very very disappointed that African Americans and people of color were not nominated for awards and were not interviewed on the red carpet on E and on TV Guide coverage.

Rapper T.I. was arrested along with his wife Tiny for suspicion of possessing marijuana in West Hollywood, California.

Officers pulled the car over T.I. and his wife were in and smelled bud and they were arrested. They posted a $10,000 bail and was released.

When I first saw this information on T.I. I said…..WHAT THE HELL!!!! Of course you are innocent until proven guilty but I thought T.I. was going to do his best to stay out of trouble after a serving time in jail for weapons possession charges. I guess I was wrong.

After T.I. was released from prison he went on a big tour of schools and community centers to speak with kids about staying in school and getting a good education and staying out of trouble etc. And now this. I am VERY disappointed in T.I. if these charges are true.

T.I. should remember he was given another change to be a role model kids can look up too. A chance to be a leader in the hip-hop game and out of it too. Guess he did not want to be a role model folks. Guess he was fooling us.

Readers what guys like T.I. and folks in the public eye (even myself) need to realize is that we are people young folks look at to be leaders and role models. We do not need to be hanging out at clubs until 2am or we do not need to be beating up people or even our ladies or girlfriends or vise versa.

If these charges against T.I. and even Tiny are true I will be VERY disappointed. Remember Tiny, the wife of T.I., is a former member of the singing group Xscape and a star of a reality show. So young ladies look up to her too.

I will be giving you more details on the arrest of T.I. and Tiny right here on the #1 urban website in the Northwest…..”Music Inner City News Magazine”   This is “One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Why is the clown Glenn Beck so doggone popular? I watched his rally in Saturday on TV and saw his so called speech and afterwords I was wondering one thing. What in the hell did he just say?

It was a speech that showed me he is a lost soul and the drugs he used to take has messed up his mind because I did not understand what the hell his speech was about.

The crowd at his rally was 99% white. The crowd at Beck’s rally were anti-President Obama. Haters against our President because he is a African American. Our first African American President.

What Beck and his conservative friends like Laura Ingraham, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity is doing against President Obama is DANGEROUS. Very dangerous folks.

Folks what Beck and his right wing buddies are doing is bringing out bigots and racists that do not like African Americans or people of color. One of these clowns may try to harm our President. I hope and pray this does not happen but if you listen to what the right is saying it could set someone off to try to hurt President Obama. These right wingers are very very angry.

This rally was led by a man in Glenn Beck who called President Obama a racist. Who got a African African American Van Jones fired from his job, who went after Acorn and now the organization is no longer around. And what I am real bothered by is this. GLENN BECK MADE FUN OF PRESIDENT OBAMA’S 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!! This guy is a sick puppy.

Like I said earlier, I think the drugs he used to be hooked on messed up his brain. He should be in the Ringling Bros. circus as a clown.

So why is Glenn Beck so popular? He is popular because he is leading the hate against against President Obama. And has support from his Fox News friends in Hannity and O’Reilly and others.

Readers if you are a supporter of President Obama like myself, please do like me and say a prayer for our President and his family. He needs our support against bigots like Glenn Beck. This is One”s Man’s Opinion.

Tiger Woods said his problems with his now ex-wife Elin messed with him game on the golf course during the last year or so.

Duh……..yeah I guess Tiger. But do I or even you have sympathy for Tiger? I don’t. I have ZERO sympathy for a man who cheated on his wife over and over and over. This cat has been great on the golf course and terrible as a husband. And I mean TERRIBLE!!

I feel sorry for Elin and I feel sorry for Elin and Tiger’s kids. What will Tiger tell his kids when they are older about his cheating ways? Will he tell them the truth?

To be real we should not care about Tiger’s love life, but the more I think about it, the more I care because Tiger Woods should be a role model for his kids and for the millions of other kids who looked up to him.

After all he has the Tiger Woods Foundation and even has a school in his name. I think it was wrong for Tiger to act like he did knowing he has his kids who call him daddy and the kids who attend his school and the kids who have been helped by his foundation.

Since he now has his divorce from Elin, I hope he can act like a role model, and win some events and act like the #1 player in the world.      Gordon Curvey

Forbes Magazine has listed the top money makers in hip-hop and these cats are making PLENTY of cash.

You have to remember readers, hip-hop or in music as a whole, you can make money from all over the world.

I tell young performers here in Seattle this all the time. You can be a total flop in the U.S. but blow up in Japan or South Africa or England or Germany etc.

Plus hip-hop artists make plenty of cash when they hit the road for performances. Again, they preform all over the world.

And also cats like Jay Z and Diddy make MILLIONS away from the microphone. Jay Z is part owner of the New Jersey Nets and has night clubs and and of course much more and Diddy has Sean John and more. And Nelly has Apple Bottom and more.

50 Cent made millions and millions when he invested in Vitamin Water. Please click the link above to see the Forbes list. The money these cats make is amazing!      Gordon Curvey

Kind of strange that actress Halle Berry is doing her first interview in three years. And also it is strange she is doing it with Vogue Magazine.

I am thinking why Vogue and not Oprah? If am not mistaken, that was her last big interview on former guest on Seattle’s Music Inner City, Oprah’s program.

In my opinion, Berry has been bitten by the Oscar curse because since she won her Oscar, the movies she has acted in have not been anything to write home about.

She is getting paid big dollars for her roles but in my opinion, she needs to really take her time and pick good roles for her.

Also it is also strange why her love life is always in a turmoil. One fella after another fella after another fella.

Is it her or is it the fellas she picks to be in love with. Her relationships just do not last long.

She is one of only a few African American actresses who can land lead roles in Hollywood. Here is a question readers…..why?

I will be writing a story on this topic, the lack of lead roles for African American actresses very soon right here on “Music Inner City News Magazine”    Gordon Curvey

The other day I was in basketball heaven as a basketball junky as I watched the Hall Of Fame event on NBA TV. It was a GREAT event to watch.

Among the folks going in this year was the “The Dream Team” of the 1992 Olympics that included Karl Malone, Magic Johnson, Micheal Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippin, Charles Barkley and others. And the 1960 Olympic team that included the great Jerry West and “The Big O” Oscar Roberson.

Going in as players included Malone and Pippin and WNBA legend Cynthia Cooper, and former Seattle Sonic, the late Dennis “DJ” Johnson. Johnson was represented by his brother and wife.

Johnson was a starting guard for our Sonics win they won the NBA title in 1979. Also going in as a player was the late Gus Johnson.

I think Cynthia Cooper gave the best speech. Followed by Karl Malone. Bob Hurley Sr. has had a good speech.

At least 70 Hall of Famers showed up for the ceremony in Springfield, Ilinois. It was a great seeing all the great NBA players being interviewed and watching tape of great plays made by this years group of Hall Of Famers.

Like I said, I was in basketball heaven.     Gordon Curvey

(Just getting back to work……slowly, from my SEVEN day hospital visit here in Seattle for a serious lung operation. I want to thank EVERYONE who has given me prayers and support during my sickness. As for the haters……..oh well. Still have a long way to go to recovery but God willing I am on my way. Because God is good!)

As I slowly get back to work I see that two time guest on “Music Inner City TV” here in Seattle, Fantasia has tried to commit suicide over a fella in North Carolina.

Let me say this readers. I do not want to speculate as to what happened but if you watched her reality show, Fantasia needs two things in my opinion. A hit song and …….love.

She is a very very talented singer but her career has taken a downhill dive in the last few years as far as a hit cd.

I hope she will get her life together soon. She is too young and talented to die over a fella!!! Give me break. Again we don’t know the details so I will take a chill pill as to what really happened.

But I will leave you with this. The last time I interviewed Fantasia, she was in her limo in Miami on her way to gig to perform.

The person who put the interview together was named Mark Weinstein. I say was because Mark committed sucide a few years ago by jumping out a seven floor apartment building to his death. He was having money problems at the time.

God works in strange ways sometime folks. Let’s everyone say a prayer for Fantasia.

T.I. has had a very very interesting life in twenty or so years on earth. Jail terms, millions of cd’s sold, acting in movies and more.

No one can deny this cat has talent behind the mic and in front of the camera as a actor. T.I. can act. Unlike other rappers, he has a long career ahead of him as a entertainer. If he can stay out of trouble. The question is, can he?

I think T.I. can do wonders in going into inner city schools and talking to the youth about staying in school and staying away from guns and violence etc. Of course he has done a lot of that since his release from jail for weapons charges. He can be a tremendous role model. And you know what? What I read, he is trying to be just that. A role model kids can look up to. That is great!

Congrats to T.I. and his lady Tiny who recently tied the knot. I am happy for Tiny and T.I. By watching Tiny’s reality program, it seems she is a great lady and a great mom.

Great things are ahead for T.I. in music and in Hollywood. Let’s hope he stays out of trouble. I think he will do it. He has to many kids who are looking up to him as a role model.

Please say a prayer for me as I enter Swedish Hospital here in Seattle (Aug 4th) for lung cancer surgery. For which I am very nervous but I have to have it done.

This is a wake up call for me. I have never spent time in a hospital. I hope this operation will have me back to good health. I have to many things to do. And thanks everyone for your prayers ad concern.      Gordon Curvey/Music Inner City

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

As I get ready to have a serious operation this week I have some thoughts I want to share regarding the sports radio situation here in Seattle, Washington (U.S.)

The two stations are 710 ESPN and KJR. 710 ESPN has been on the air for a year or so and KJR for 19 years in the Seattle/Tacoma area. For 19 years KJR has NEVER had a African American with his or hers own regular program. Currently their total workforce has a grand total of ZERO African Americans the last time I checked. That includes producers, over the air, sales and management.

I will talk about 710 ESPN in Part 2 of this story but I want to discuss KJR in Part 1. KJR constantly blasts African Americans and people of color in a negative way with out the other point of view from a African American or person of color. THIS IS UNFAIR!

Words like “THUG” is used by the all white staff of KJR against African Americans and people of color ONLY. The word “THUG” is a code word for the “N” word. It is used by callers and hosts. This word is NEVER used against whites in the sports world. NEVER.

KJR management just hired two more whites to be on the air, Jeff Aaron and Hot Shot Scott. Scott worked at sister station KUBE93 and Aaron used to a sports jock on KJR. Was fired or laid off and now he is back.

It is like the management of KJR do not care about diversity over the air. Or having a African American with his or hers own program. Stephen A. Smith (a African American) is on KJR at 3am but it is not a local show. It is a Fox national program.

A few years ago, their was a meeting held with African American community leaders and KJR management in which PROMISES WERE MADE BY KJR MANAGEMENT. Promises that included working on diversity in hiring and over the air. Promises where made to myself and other community folks like former Seattle NAACP chairman Carl Mack.

But then Mack left town and KJR backed off the promises that was made. In other words, KJR management LIED TO ME AND CARL MACK AND OTHERS. This is wrong. KJR management has shown with the hiring of Scott and Aaron that they DO NOT care about having a African American over the air on KJR. Period.

KJR is like a frat club or Elk’s Club in Vermont or South Dakota. No blacks in sight. They are friends and buddies instead of workmates. They call and text each other after work etc. Even the bumper music is all white most of the time. Bumper music is a term for the music played in the background after a commercial etc. No T.I. or Drake or Jay Z or Kanye West or Lil Wayne or Rihanna or classic soul like Stevie Wonder or The Isley Bros etc. Instead it is Aerosmith or ZZ Top and The Little River Band etc or even on Mitch Levy’s show, Frank Sinatra etc.

Issues of race comes up all the time on KJR and the all white staff CANNOT RELATE. They do not have a clue on the topic. Also it hurts me hearing the KJR jocks constantly interviewing African Americans THEY CANNOT RELATE TO what so ever. These cats are from the inner city or deep south etc. Hearing Mitch Levy and Dave Mahler and Ian Furness and now Aaron interviewing these inner city cats turns my stomach!!

The only jocks I like on KJR is Dick Fain and Elise Woodward. Yes they are white, but Woodward played basketball and has dealt with African Americans and people of color and Fain coaches at Mt. Rainier High School and deals with inner city cats all the time.

This is Part 1 of “Lack Of Diversity On Sports Radio” Part 2 I will deal with local sports writers who are “in bed” with sports radio, Mitch Levy’s “Bigger Dance” contest and discuss 710 ESPN and more.

Please watch “Music Inner City TV” Ustream programs live and on-demand. We will feature music videos and discuss issues in entertainment, urban sports and soon we will have contests to give away cd’s etc.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Unless you have been under a rock, you know Shirley Sherrod has fired by the Obama Administration for a speech she gave back in March at a NAACP event in which she talked about a issue years and years ago.

A guy who for sure is on Fox News secret payroll, doctored a tape of Ms. Sharrod’s speech and made it seem she is a racist against white folks and put it on the internet.

This same clown was responsible for taping a so called “pimp” who went inside of Acorn and found dirt and now Acorn is no longer around. All the secret video by the way backed by Fox News.

Fox News was also behind the firing of another Obama administration employee who is African American who they secretly taped and put that on the net and then  was broadcasted on Sean Hannity and Bill O’Rielly and everyone’s show on Fox News.

Now Fox News went on the warpath against Shirley Sharrod a very hard working lady whose father was killed years ago. He was a community activist. By the way, the killer(s) were never found.

Something has to be done about Fox News. From DAY ONE they are out to bring down the first African American president, President Barack Obama and his administration.

Finally, I think President Obama has to give a major speech on race relations again. I think he cannot run from it. He has to it. Sorry to say readers……racism is alive and well in America.

The REAL king, Micheal Jordan made some comments regarding LeBron James and Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh joining together in Miami on the Heat and they were not good.

He basically said he would not have called Larry Bird, Magic Johnson or Charles Barkley etc to form a super team in the NBA. The is a blast of James by MJ. By the way I wonder how James feels about this because MJ is his idol.

James is getting plenty negative pub all over the place for his bolting from the Cavs. In Cleveland he is really getting negative press in the newspapers on TV and the net and of course from Cavs fans.

And word has leaked about the possible new multi-million dollar home he may move into soon in the Miami area. And folks when you see the pics (above link) you will know the cat has some real dough in his pockets.

I think differently on James and Wade and Bosh. I don’t like the move by these three. It is that simple. I do not like the move.

Why is it 50 Cent is always out here criticizing other rappers and performers all the damn time? He has made a habit of this over the years. Why readers?

Now he has Diddy and Rick Ross on blast because Diddy as always,  is trying to make smart business moves with his career. It can be with his Sean John business, or his vodka business or Bad Boy, Diddy most of the time is clocking MILLIONS in the bank.

50 made a VERY smart investment in VitaminWater which earned him millions and millions of dollars, unlike his music career which has went down the tubes. Stop hatin 50 and produce some hits by you.

The cat needs to stop hatin on Diddy. I respect Diddy as a dynamic businessman and entertainer. Unlike 50, when Diddy performers he is not walking back and forth on stage holding his nuts!!! Diddy ENTERTAINS!! Real talk.

And why blast Ricky Ross? He is just trying to make moves with his career by joining forces with Diddy so what is wrong with that readers?

Yo 50, stop hating, handle your G-Unit business and your career and FINALLY produce a hit. By you and a cat on your label!!

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Well we all know now where LeBron James is going to play and that is with the Miami Heat with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

In my opinion I am pissed at James. Why? Because #1 he is arrogant. During his stupid hour long show on ESPN he talked in third person. #2 He flat out let the fans down in Cleveland. If I was in Cleveland or his hometown Akron, I would feel tremendously upset at self titled “King James”. “King James” a cat who has ZERO RINGS!!!!  LET ME REPEAT ZERO RINGS!!!!! “King James” my a..!!!!!!

Having a team of Bosh, James and Wade is a cop out. And if they don’t win, I will be happy. I hope the Celtics and Orlando and the Hawks kick the Heats ass!!!

I was a BIG fan of James. But I am not anymore. He thinks he is bigger than the game. His fame has gone to his head. James going to the Heat hurts me as a NBA fan. A NBA junky. I am real bothered by this move by James as a sports fan.

I just heard Chris Brussard on ESPN say James left $20 to $30 million on the table in order to win. Yo Chris…..I DON’T CARE!!!! i HAVE LOST RESPECT FOR THE SO CALLED “King James”.

Well Cleveland fans I guess be happy you still have a NBA to cheer on even without James. Our Seattle Sonics left town after forty one years here. We don’t have a team to cheer on at all. But as the late 2Pac rapped…..Yo Cleveland sports fans KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!

Well at least we know where two of the big time free agents are going to play next season after waiting and waiting for a answer.

Chris Bosh, formerly of the Toronto Raptors, will join his good friend Dwayne Wade in Miami to play for GM Pat Riley and the Miami Heat next NBA season.

Of course this will improve the Heat big time. They still need a big center to guard Dwight Howard and a point guard to really hang with the Celtics and the Magic.

Now we wait for King James to make his choice which he will do on ESPN Thursday night at 6pm.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

What in the world is going on folks. Here he is again. Reports say actor/producer Mel Gibson has made more insensitive or racist comments.

He was in the news before for making these types of comments. What is possibly wrong with Gibson or does he have a problem with African Americans?

This is the same cat who acted with black actor Danny Glover over and over but it seems their is a problem with African Americans when it comes to Gibson.

His reported comments are so over the top it is UNREAL readers. If he did make those comments he needs to hold a press conference ASAP and AGAIN say he is sorry to the African American community.

Again, Gibson is in hot water with the black community. The problem is these reported comments continue to happen when it comes to Gibson. Not John Travolta or Russell Crowe etc. It is just Gibson in the news for this. Something is wrong.

If these comments by Gibson is true? Then what should happen readers?

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Because of negative feelings towards yours truly by B.E.T’s Zabrina Horton, our media outlet was turned down from coverage of this years B.E.T Awards in L.A. So I was at home watching like millions of others.

It was a great show. A El DaBarge comeback (great to see him back on the scene)  a Kanye comeback, great performances by Diddy, Slim Shady, Alicia Keys, Drake and many others.

But none of them touched the performance by singer Chris Brown. The disgraced Chris Brown. The one who beat up Rihanna.

Brown’s performance of MJ was the best I’ve seen since Jackson’s death. The best. Near the end of his set, Brown broke down and cried and could not finish his performance. MJ’s big brother Jermaine, walked with Chris off the stage.

I see on the net today that some people think Brown was faking tears. I don’t thing Brown was faking. It was real. I was a combination of what he has been though in the past months and his love of MJ.

It is a fact that Chris Browns cd sales have dropped big time. His career has suffered since his problems with Rihanna. He has had run ins with reporters, radio dj’s etc. The question is readers, will Chris Brown every be back on top with a hit song again? Time will tell.

Look for Chris Brown’s brand new music videos on Seatlle’s own “Music Inner City TV” on Comcast on Demand all over Western Washington state 24/7. Plus other artists videos and much more!

Well it is getting near the time where NBA free agents like LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, Joe Johnson and others can meet with teams and their possible new NBA home. That date is July 1st.

Word is James will meet with the Knicks and Nets on the 1st of July. It is going to be a real crazy time in the NBA starting on the 1st. Real crazy.

Where will James land is the question everyone wants know. Will he stay with the Cavs? Will he sign with the Bulls or Nets or Knicks? How bout the Clippers or Heat?

Cleveland and even James hometown in Akron, are trying to show “King James” that they want him to stay in Ohio and play once again for the Cavs. The Cavs can offer James the most cash. This is for sure.

We will keep you informed here on “Music Inner City News Magazine” and “Sports Inner City Online” (www.sportsinnercity.com)  on the movements of James and other NBA free agents.

“One Man Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Today marked the one year anniversary of the passing of the “King Of Pop” MJ, Micheal Jackson. It was a very sad day last year when I learned of the death of MJ.

I was cleaning up my place and passed by the TV and saw the headlines on CNN and I could not believe it. Micheal Jackson has died at the age of 50. I was shocked. And truth be told I am still shocked.

Word is out MJ’s daddy Joe is going to file a wrongful death lawsuit against MJ’s doctor Conrad Murrey for the death of his famous son. I don’t blame Joe for keeping up the fight.

The truth needs to come out about the death of Jackson.

No one will EVER touch MJ as a entertainer. NO ONE!! He is and will always be the “King Of Pop”

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers for winning another NBA by beating the Boston Celtics in seven games at the Staples Center.

Game seven was not a well played game at all. Plenty of bricks were thrown up by both teams to make it a terrible game to watch on TV. Kobe Bryant who won the MVP, threw up the most bricks but he made up for it by hitting the boards for fifteen rebounds.

In my opinion, Kobe should not have won the MVP trophy. It should have been center Pau Gasol because he did the dirty rock in the paint every game. And he had to come up big because of Andrew Bynum being hurt.

But readers I am really happy for Ron Artest who scored twenty points in game seven. If you are a sports fan you know Ron has been though a lot during his career. We don’t want to talk about the negative stuff. We want to stay positive when it comes to Ron Artest.

A local sports host (Mike Salk-710 ESPN/Seattle) got on the air and made fun of Artest for being happy as hell after the game and called him “nutzi”  What ever the HELL that means!! I was real upset for Salk and his co-host Brock Huard for making fun of Artest.

Again I am real happy for Ron Artest for getting a NBA title and at the same time I am disappointed for Seattle’s own little Nate Robinson of the Celtics for not getting to win a championship. But he is still young and hopefully it will happen for little Nate.

One Man’s Opinion” By Gordon Curvey

Unless you have been under a rock somewhere you should know about the terrible story of a Seattle Police officer punching a 17 year old young lady here in Seattle the other day.

As you can see by the picture the officer looks like a lightweight boxer in the ring hitting a opponent. But this was not in the boxing ring. It was on a street corner only four blocks from where I live near Franklin High School.

It appears in the tape that is everywhere on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, You Tube etc, that 17 year old Marilyn Levios pushed Officer Ian Walsh. Then the officer hit the young girl with a round house punch to the face to young Levios.

The question is why the officer did what he did. Was the punch needed? Where was his pepper spray? Where was his back up?

Here is another thing that is going here in Seattle. It seems that most of the Seattle Police officers that patrol the areas where African Americans and people of color are, are not African Americans. So the question is do these non-black officers have the training to deal with young and older “inner city” citizens?

I think this is a major problem readers. I feel if you are a Seattle Police officer or any officer, you should know how to relate to African Americans and people of color. Because most minorities have a very negative feeling about police officers. This is a fact.

Finally another thing I have a problem with is this. I have a problem with “so called” community leaders calling press conferences as soon as it appears a white officer etc does something to a African American.

BUT where are these so called “community leaders” when it comes to BLACK ON BLACK CRIME!!! Where is the press conferences by these “so called” community leaders? They are nowhere in sight. For instance, their was a 12 year old kid shot and killed a few weeks ago in cross fire in the Skyway area of Seattle and the killers are still on the run. WHERE ARE THE COMMUNITY LEADERS? WHERE ARE THE PRESS CONFERENCES BY THESE SO CALLED COMMUNITY LEADERS??

Young Ms Levios was wrong to push a police officer. This is a fact. But Officer Ian Walsh was wrong too in punching the young girl. Very very wrong.

I guess it is great to have a daddy that is rich as hell if you are a young fella named Bashir because you can get great and very expensive gifts for Xmas and birthdays etc.

Case in point, the 16 year old son a businessman/entertainer/actor Diddy was bought a $360,000 car by his daddy. Man what a gift.

In my opinion this is a wrong move by Diddy. With people struggling trying to pay their bills and trying to put food food on the table and gas in their cars, Diddy buys his son a $360,000 car. I also think he bought his son a very big gift for another occasion.

Truth be told, a lot of kids of famous and rich parents have severe problems when they get older like drugs and alcohol. If you keep up with this topic you know I am telling the truth.

It is Diddy’s money but why would he buy his son such a big car? Why? HE IS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD FOLKS!!! LET ME REPEAT, HE IS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD. I am having a big problem with this readers.

Does Diddy realize we are in a recession? Yo Diddy wake up dude can down to earth with the rest of us dude. Giving your 16 year old son a $360,000 just does not look right. It just does not.

I noticed race car driver Danica Patrick came in second at a Indy Car race recently in Fort Worth Texas and I was very happy to see that happen.

Patrick is a very good driver who just happens of course to be a very nice looking female. And of course because of that she gets a lot of publicity. She is the spokesperson for a company that I use, Go Daddy.

And I think Go Daddy has got their monies worth in hiring her as a spokesperson. He has made great commercials for the company over the years including a new one with her grandparents.

Danica I don’t think is well liked by fellow drivers because of all the off the course publicity she gets. Is it jealous feelings? I think so.

It seems Patrick is a very down to earth lady. I have seen her in different interviews and it seems her popularity has not got to her head.

 She races in the Indy cars and in stock cars. By finishing second last week it seems she is getting near to winning a race here in the U.S.

She has won a race but not in the U.S. We will be following Patrick and will do another story on her win she finally wins a race here in the U.S.

In my strong opinion Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Bill Cunningham, Micheal Medved, Micheal Savage and others are in the same boat. They are on a mission to bring President Obama down in any way possible.

One of the ways is for the clown Glenn Beck to try to bring down one of President Obama’s daughters Malia. He did it over the air on one of his shows. THIS IS THE LOWEST OF LOWS BESIDES CALLING OUR PRESIDENT THE “N” WORD.

Beck has already called President Obama “a racist”!!! What in the heck is wrong with Beck and the right wing?

For Beck to make fun a 11 year old little girl and the Presidents daughter is beyond low.

As far as I am concerned Glenn Beck should be fired by Fox News and fired NOW. And the owners of his radio show should fire him too. But of course it will not happen.

But here is a question. WHERE IS REV SHARPTON AND REV JACKSON IN SPEAKING OUT MORE AGAINST HANNITY AND BECK AND FOX NEWS? It is very strange to me that these guys allowed Beck to get away with this classless act against Malia Obama. The question is why? I will be writing more on Sharpton and Jackson soon.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Child actor Gary Coleman died at the young age of 42 in Utah where he was living. Coleman had a lot of health programs growing up as a child and also had other problems.

Gary and Todd Bridges and Dana Plato starred on the show “Different Strokes” back in the day and the show was a big hit and made Coleman a household name. He and Bridges made a big name for themselves when Gary would say to Bridges “What you takin about Willis?”

Coleman had problems with his parents who he thought was spending his money he earned as a child. Of course he could not spend any of the money until he got of age.

It seems the show “Different Strokes” was cursed. Coleman had problems with his health and other problems. Bridges got hooked big time on crack and even sold it and spent time in jail. And Plato had serious drug problems and it took her life with a drug overdose. By the way, her son just recently committed suicide.

Bridges was just on Oprah and other talk shows because he wrote a book on his life as a child actor and his drug problems and other problems he had growing up.

And now Gary Coleman has died at a young age of 42. We at “Music Inner City” say rest in peace Gary and thanks for the laughs you brought our way.

Be sure to listen to “Music Inner City Radio” every Friday night at 10pm in the Seattle area (may be delayed because of games, if so the program will air right after the game) on “Alternative Talk” 1150am KKNW and it streams worldwide at www.1150kknw.com

We all know about the situation with mega-star Tiger Woods and his wife Elin.

You must have been on Mars or maybe the moon if you don’t know something about it.

It has been a real big mess. Brought on by Tiger and his womanizing for female to female to female to female. You get the picture.

I have said here on “M.I.C News Magazine” that I really do not care about Tiger’s love life. I just want to see Woods win events and catch up the great “Bear” Jack Nicklaus. I watch golf ONLY when Tiger is near the lead and I watch tennis ONLY when Venus and Serena is playing.

But I took notice the other day that Tiger’s wife Elin may want a whopping $750 million in a possible divorce from Tiger. Word is Tiger is only worth $600 million so how is this only to work out??? PLUS she wants the kids too.

To me that is VERY VERY greedy on the part of Elin if this is true. Yes Tiger was big time wrong, BUT Elin in my opinion is wrong too for asking for so much.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Man now this is a possible story readers IF it is true. Their is rumor that LeBron James mom, Gloria James had sex with Delonte West of the Cleveland Cavs. Yes James teammate on the Cavs.

And not only that King James mom might have had sex with ANOTHER member of the Cavs too and it is a prominent player on the Cavs.

IF this is true and again IF this a National Enquirer/TMZ stuff. I mean this is off the hook IF it is true because of how big James is as a national celebrity and sports star.

I will say this. I noticed the other day when the Cavs got beat down by the Celtics, I saw James walk off the court and kiss his mom. THEN I saw another Cavs player who I will not say also plant a kiss on James mom! I said what is up with that?

Hall Of Famer and one of the best little men EVER to play in the NBA, Calvin Murphy said recently every thing about Gloria James is true!!

I am very surprised that this story is not bigger than what it is truth be told. Nothing on CNN or MSNBC or Fox News or Entertainment Tonight and even ESPN. Don’t understand.

Anyway we will keep you informed on the story when more comes out right here on “M.I.C News Magazine”

Readers have you checked out the reality show “What Chilli Wants” on VH1? About r&b group TLC member Chilli and her trying to find a man.

Well I watch it every week and I am telling you I have a HUGE problem with the show.

It seems Chilli is looking for MR. PERFECT. VERY handsome, big money, big car, perfect teeth, and on and on. What’s the deal Chilli? Why is it you need the PERFECT man?

What about a man who is not very handsome BUT treats her like a lady should be treated? And has a great personality?

On the show Chilli’s friend is trying to hook her up with this fella for her. But WHY is it the word ‘CUTE” has to be in the picture ALL THE TIME” What about just a real nice fella?

I am tired of these reality shows like “What Chilli Wants” and “Basketball Wives” and “Let’s Talk About Pep” where these sistas are ALWAYS saying “Girl………he is soooooooo cute!!!!” GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Again why does the dude have to be so cute? Again why is it a fella can’t be not so handsome, but is a very nice man.

It seems Chilli will NEVER find a man if a dude has to be on this platform. Yo Chilli come on down to reality girlfriend and take a real man who may not be Mr. Handsome. But just a real down to earth and a real nice man who truly treats you like a lady as the The Temptations sang.

ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE interview coming soon on “Music Inner City TV” and right here with the daughter of “The greatest of all times” Muhammad Ali, May May Ali.

We will cover President Obama, youth violence and more. Stay tuned for more details! It is the program others want to emulate and duplicate, “Music Inner City”

Do you think ALL the members of Destiny’s Child will get together for one last time for a new cd or tour of the U.S and elsewhere? Well it could happen .

That means Michelle, Beyonce, Kelly, Farrah and former guest on Seattle’s own “Music Inner City TV” Letoya Luckett.

Man that would be off the hook and  for sure money maker for the group and for Columbia Records and for the music industry as a whole.

I have not heard to much from Farrah. Kelly has put out a few cd’s but truth be told, they did not sell well and Michelle has done well putting out gospel cd’s and Beyonce…………well we all know she has done very very very well in movies, singing etc. She is a triple threat in the entertainment business.

So in reality Beyonce has to lower her ego for the benefit of her child hood friends to be reunited and form Destiny’s Child again.

So let’s see what happens readers and see if Destiny’s Child will get together again. This time with Farrah and Letoya. Stay tuned and we will have all the news right here on “Music Inner City News Magazine”

If you are in the Seattle area you should already know that 12 year old Alajawon Brown was shot and killed recently for I guess being in the wrong place and was caught in a cross fire of about 20 to 25 shots.

This story is truly truly sad. A mom has lost her little boy and a dad has lost his little boy too. A grandmom or dad has lost their grandchild.

Young Brown had just bought some shoes to get ready to play football. He worked cleaning up a family members kitchen to earn $20 for the shoes. Now he is dead. This is truly sad.

Also in my opinion is a certain radio talk show in the Seattle area who had young Alajawan’s mom on his show to grab ratings or to build his ego. Also this host has done what we call “biting” in the hood.

I am the one who sent out a big e-mail to my list and to my almost 600 Facebook and Twitter friends concerning the killing of the young kid. I knew in the back of my mind that this talk show host would have the mom on his show. Well I was right.

This same radio host has never had me on his radio show to discuss my almost two decades of producing “Music Inner City TV” and I have asked him time and time again to be a guest on his show.

But since I have MY OWN radio show on 1150 KKNW (Friday night at 10pm) I do not need to be on this cat’s show. Bottom line is I AM A LEADER NOT A FOLLOWER.

Hopefully this same talk show host will make his voice heard concerning the KUBE93 Summer Jam where young kids will be in attendance to hear the “N” word a thousand times and all kind of language young kids should not hear.

In ending, my prayers go out to the family of 12 year old Alajawan Brown. One thing is for sure, 12 years old is to young to die. Let’s please stop the violence and increase the peace in our communities.

As a big boxing fan I was excited to watch the Mayweather/Mosley fight. It was a fight that boxing needs more of. All the stars were in attendance. Diddy, Paris Hilton, Donald Trump and even “The Greatest” Ali was their.

And what they saw was a boxing lesson by the undefeated Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Shane Mosley at 38 just could not deal with the speed of Floyd.

In the second round, Mosley connected with a great hook and for the first time in Floyd’s career he was really hurt.

But he recovered and after the second round it was all “Money” Mayweather. His speed was just to much for Mosley to deal with. Floyd is one of the greatest boxers of all time. This is for sure.

As a boxing fan, I really want to see a big money making heavyweight fight here in the U.S. But sorry to say, since England’s former champ Lennox Lewis retired, the Heavyweight division has been dead. No big fights of interest. This I feel is not good for boxing. And I don’t see a big Heavyweight fight happening soon.

Finally with “Money” beating Mosley, everyone wants to see a Manny vs. Floyd fight. This is a BIG money fight where Manny or Floyd can bank around $40 million. Let’s hope all the politics can be put to the side and let’s make this fight happen.

I do not think my home town of Seattle, Washington get enough ink in the media and over the air regarding all the talent from here doing well in the NBA.

S.I. did a great story on all the player from Seattle and surburbs who are in the NBA a few months ago.

That article I am sure made more sports fans aware of the basketball talent coming from the city of Seattle.

Having said that, a big shout out to the Atlanta Hawks Jamal Crawford who won the NBA “Sixth Man” award and to the Houston Rockets Aaron Brooks who won “Most Improved” for thr 2009-10 season.

Crawford went to Rainier Beach High and Brooks went to Franklin High. The schools are rivals here in Seattle and Jason Terry of the Mavericks also went to Franklin. And the Celtics Nate Robinson went to Rainier Beach and Brandon Roy went to Garfield High. There are about 13 players in the NBA from Seattle area and suburbs.

We hope to do interviews many of the Seattle NBA players this summer so look out for that.

As a African American I AM TIRED OF TBS AIRING THESE SITCOMS WITH A AFRICAN AMERICAN CAST IN A COMEDY.

TBS already airs  “Amos and Andy” look-a-like programs produced by Tyler Perry and now here comes “Are We There Yet” produced by former guest on Seattle’s Music Inner City TV, Ice Cube.

Why is it we are doing these comedies with African Americans acting like clowns and buffoons?

What about a program or series with a African American cast IN A WEEKLY DRAMA!!! What about that readers? I will not watch one more minute of “Meet The Browns” and the other Perry produced shows.

It is flat out embarrasing to see these clowns so called acting like “colored folks” of “darkies” in the 1920’s Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Steppin Fetchin type movies/programs.

Ice Cube has been on my show three times as a legendary rapper. I wish my brotha can produce a drama on TBS, instead of a ANOTHER comedy with a all African American cast. IT IS BADLY NEEDED IN MY STRONG OPINION!!!

As you know I have written my feelings on the sad story regarding Oscar winner Mo’Nique and the relationship with her brother Gerald.

And this is a sad story. I watched Mo’Nique’s brother on Oprah the other day and I was shocked at this program and the information that has come out for the world to know regarding Gerald’s sexual contacts with his sister when they were young.

Gerald said said all the normal stuff about being sorry etc. And Oprah asked tough questions to him. But what I took out of the show is this.

If you watched Mo’Nique get her Golden Globe and Critics Choice and Oscar Awards, she came off as a dynamic wonderful African American lady with a lot of opinions.

And if watch her program on BET, she is always giving advice etc. I think she needs to chill out with the advice and try to repair her relationship with her elderly mom and dad who also was on the Oprah show.

MoNique has not talked to her mom or dad IN YEARS!! I am sorry readers, NO MATTER WHAT she needs to stop trying to be Miss Goody Two Shoes with advice to all her guests and work on trying to repair her relationship with her mom and dad.

We were not their to see how Gerald made sexual contact with her sister how her parents handled it. But they did not know it happened.

And if Gerald told lies on Oprah, he was wrong. BUT Mo’Nique is wrong for not talking to her elderly parents. You only have one dad and one mom.

Rap/Hip-Hop legend Guru has passed away from cancer at 43. Guru was a guest on Seattle’s Music Inner City three times over the years.

A friend of mine, Walt Atkinson was one of his favorite fans. And he was one of my favorite artists too. Guru and DJ Premier formed a dynamic duo in the rap/hip-hop world.

They formed the group Gangstarr and put down many hits over the years in their own great way. They had their own style. When you turned on the radio you knew who they were right away if you knew about urban music.

A lot of young artists need to study video of Guru and Gangstarr. They were vets who knew how to entertain a crowd unlike many artists of today.

Every time I interviewed Guru it was a great interview. Sorry to say I lost my interviews with Guru in my terrible fire I had a few years ago. But I have the memories of myself kickin it with a true legend….Guru.

Hey Guru, thanks for all the great music you left us and thanks for all the interviews you did with M.I.C-TV. R.I.P bro.

Will be playing videos of Guru in the next M.I.C-TV/Radio.

This is a very very interesting story I just learned about at former guest on “Music Inner City TV” Oprah’s website.

Regarding the brother of Oscar winner comedian/actress Mo’Nique who admitted to molesting her when she was a young girl. This is a shame readers.

Can you imagine this cat keeping this inside of him for a long long time? And also for Mo’Nique to keep this inside of her for a long long time also. I know this was very very hard on the both of them.

As many of you know, Oprah has said she was also molested when she was younger so I guess Oprah can relate big time to Mo’Nique.

It will be very interesting to see what happens with this story and the relationship between Mon’Nique and her brother.

I watched the first show of “Basketball Wive’s” on VH1 and was very disappointed. To me it was a program about a bunch of gold diggers who have the nerve to get on national TV and bash their ex husbands.

One so called female was a for real clown dancing at this “How Lo Can You Go” event by Ludacris. She was drunk and acted a for real fool.

Here is the thing that bothers me about this program. These ex wife’s of NBA players or ex NBA players left these females with plenty of cash, so why would they bash there ex’s on this program?

Also I am tired of seeing “motor mouth” sistas on these reality shows. Talking about how “cute” men are and how much cash they have and cars they drive.

Another reality show “Let’s Talk About Pep” is the same thing. Motor mouth sistas talking about how cute this man etc.

Yo readers, how come the fella has to be “Mr. Handsome” or god’s gift” Why not a normal dude that treats the lady like a lady should be treated? He may not be the best looking cat around just a real nice man? Think about it.

But Big Shaq O’Neal is saying enough is enough and wants to shut down production of this program.

Former guest on Seattle’s Music Inner City TV, media icon Oprah Winfrey plans to have her own nighttime program on her own new network OWN. The new network starts next year.

OWN will be in 80 million possible homes on cable. Her legendary program “Oprah” will end next year before the new network starts.

It is going to be very interesting to see what happens to Winfrey’s new network and how the different programs will do. We all know most of the things she does turns to gold. I am sure this will too.

Oprah being a African American female, will surely have a diversity of programs on OWN. Unlike every other cable network besides Black Entertainment Network.

In the almost 20 years of doing “Music Inner City TV” I feel getting the one on one interview with Oprah  was my top interview over James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Chaka Khan and other legends. Because of the positive things Oprah and her people said about my program. Winfrey and her producers do not do anything without checking backgrounds and they found out about the positive things we have done in the Seattle area and decided we would obtain a interview with the Big O. (pic of Oprah and myself to the right)

We will continue to give you breaking news on the new OWN network RIGHT HERE on “Music Inner City News Magazine”

Starting this week please watch out new pre-recorded “Ustream TV shows. Every other day we will have new recorded Ustream TV shows with underground music videos that will not see on BET or VH1 or MTV. Plus urban sports news/entertainment news and more.

I just saw Rev. Al Sharpton on Fox News and the Glenn Beck program. I quickly said to myself very quickly why would Rev. Sharpton go on Beck’s program? Then again it seems Rev Sharpton is on everyone’s program. Is he trying to lead or is he trying to be a celebrity?

Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham and others are the reason their is so much hate against the left and so much hate against President Obama. GLENN BECK IS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE TEA PARTY FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!

It seems to me Rev Sharpton loves to jump on MSNBC, loves to jump on CNN and for some godly reason, loves to jump on Fox News.

Is it because he loves to be seen on national TV and be seen? What the heck is it? It kind of bothers me when I see Rev Sharpton over and over and over again on Fox News and CNN and MSNBC. But what bothers me the most is Rev Sharpton on Hannity’s show and Beck’s show.

Both of those fellas blast Rev Sharpton and Rev Jesse Jackson and of course President Obama at will when ever they can. So again, why would Rev Sharpton continue to go on their programs?

Beck and Hannity on a everyday basis call President Obama a “socialist” a “radical” and constantly talk about President Obama’s “radical” friends.

To me, I think Rev Sharpton loves to see himself on National TV with his very nice suits on his hair looking nice.

When I turn on the TV and see Rev. Sharpton posted up on Glenn Beck’s show knowing how he is treating our President and other people of color I have a problem. Remember Beck called President Obama “a racist”. I guess Rev Sharpton has forgot issues like this in order to be seen on national TV.

I respect Rev Sharpton for standing up for issues regarding people of color. I really do, but on this issue, I do not support him at all.

One thing for sure I am not Mr. Money Bags etc but the man above has allowed me to be here after a devastating fire in 2005 in which I lost EVERY THING to meet and interview a lot of great people and top of line entertainers and more.

Yesterday (March 30th) I interviewed the son of legendary entertainer Stevie Wonder, Muntez Morris. He is a singer who has a new single coming out featuring Snoop Dogg. You will hear the song soon on M.I.C-TV.

And speaking of big Snoop. Today (March 31st) I interviewed in person here in Seattle the mother of Snoop, Evangelist Beverly Broudus Green and Snoop’s aunt Erma “Dena” Varnado. Who also is a gospel singer. (pic to the left is Ms Varnado on the left and Evangelist Green on the right at our M.I.C-TV interview here in Seattle and below a pic of Mr. Morris)

Both of the interviews were very insightful and full of knowledge. The son of a legendary performer and the mother and aunt of another legendary performer.

I have been very lucky over the years to interview James Brown, Muntez’s dad Stevie, Chaka Khan, Al Green, Dionne Warwick, Ernie Isley of the Isley Brothers, Smokey Robinson, Carlos Santana,  and even media icon Oprah Wnfrey and many more.

And give a platform for upcoming artists in the Seattle area and nationwide.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Friday night I was watching Fox News and the “Hannity” program to see what Democrat he was going to beat up on or what negativity he was going to throw down on President Obama.

Then all of a sudden BAM!! He blasts Nickelodeon TV for giving First Lady Michelle Obama a award for the work she is doing. Hannity said the kids station is “leaning toward the left”  WHAT!!!!! I could not believe what I was hearing readers. It was a OUTRAGE!!

If Hannity is not beating up on the President, then he will pick his wife to beat up on. Since the President has been in office I do not think Hannity and others on Fox News or even others on the right, have said anything positive about the beautiful and intelligent and outstanding Michelle Obama.

Michelle is a GREAT First Lady and a GREAT role model for young girls and young ladies of ALL COLORS AND RACES. And also she is a wondeful mom to her kids. How cats like Hannity can say ANYTHING negative about her and a award she is getting is BEYOND ME!!!

I watched the University of Washington Huskies get beat by West Virginia I just though of a flashback of sports radio hosts here in Seattle not wanting Lorenzo Romar.

Few years ago the Huskies were looking for a new head basketball coach here in Seattle. A lot of names were mentioned at the time. One of which was current head basketball coach Lorenzo Romar.

Also mentioned was the head coach at Gonzaga, Mark Few and local high school star and at the time college head coach Quinn Snyder and others.

On local sports radio KJR here in Seattle, talk show hosts Mitch Levy and Dave “Softy” Mahler and Steve Sandmayer got on the radio and demanded the UW DO NOT HIRE ROMAR. They did it over and over and over again over the air.

They said “what has he done” as a head coach etc. Mahler was the most vocal. The day of the press conference at the UW naming Romar as head coach at the UW, Mahler was blasting the head people at the UW for hiring Romar. The Mahler and Levy at KJR wanted a guy like Snyder or Few. No Romar!!!

I went to the press conference to confront Mahler and ask him why is he there covering the press conference and asking questions when he was on the air blasting Romar the SAME MORNING!! I will admit things got a little heated between myself and Mahler. I did not like him being there acting like everything is cool when he and others at KJR did not want Romar as the new head basketball coach at the University of Washington.

Well a few years later, look at the University of Washington basketball program now!! They were in the Sweet 16!! And Romar has helped send players like Brandon Roy and Nate Robinson and Spencer Hawes to the NBA. Even former player Will Conroy has been up and down in the NBA. Lorenzo Romar has put the U-Dub on the NCAA basketball map.

I get kind of upset when I hear Levy and Mahler on KJR kissing his butt now, knowing they DID NOT want Romar as the head coach. I wish I had a recording of the negative stuff Mahler and Levy was saying about the possible hiring of Romar.

Anyway big shout out to Romar, Quincy Pondexter, Isaiah Thomas, Matthew Bryan-Amanings and the rest of the University of Washington Huskies for going all the way to the Sweet 16. You made us Seattle area sports fan happy!

And also watch ESPN “Right Now” for more news and video from NCAA basketball games and the march to the final four.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Today was a great day in American history when President Obama signed a health bill that has been talked about for decades and decades. What a day for America.

At the President’s side as he signed this historic bill was 11 year old Marcelas Owens who is from right here in Seattle, Washington. His mother lost her job, lost her health and I am sorry to say died.

The President had young Owens by his side at two events today regarding the health bill. I know this is something he will never forget the rest of his life.

What bothers the hell out of me is the right. And their racist tactics against President Obama. Calling him negative names etc. I am bothered by the far right “tea party”. Who are making people very very angry at the President to the point I think someone might try to kill President Obama. The far right is just that angry at the President.

NOT ONE Republican voted for the historic health care bill. NOT ONE!! This is crazy, this is a outrage. I am telling you readers. All the folks in the tea party, all the folks who did not vote for this new health care bill are speaking up LOUDLY and in very ANGRY ways because of one thing and one thing ONLY……it is because President Obama is the first African American President in our history and they CANNOT AND WILL NOT DEAL WITH THIS. Period. The far disagree with EVERY THING PRESIDENT IS DOING. EVERY THING!!!

I say a prayer for the President and his wonderful family EVERY NIGHT that they stay safe from the angry mob called the far right. What the far right is doing is VERY VERY DANGEROUS FOLKS. Please realize this. And if your a supporter of our President, please join me and say a prayer for him and his family every night.

To many times we hear of negative stories concerning hip-hop and rap artists. To many times we read about rappers going to jail for different reasons like Lil Wayne, T.I and others. But here is a POSITIVE story.

Nas is going back to obtain his high school degree that he did not get when he was younger. This a very positive story.

He is saying to his fans and to youth all over that a high school education and a degree is important. And Nas is saying also that he is a role model and wants young inner city kids to take education serious and to go to school and get a education.

Yes we read stuff about Nas and his wife Kelis who is also a entertainer and their kind of nasty divorce in the news etc, but this story needs to be told too folks!!

As a OG in the music game, Nas is one of my favorite artists. Truth be told, he has not got the recognition he should get. Not to many cats can throw down lyrics like Nas. He tells a story about politics, relationships, life in the “hood” and more. Nas is a true hip-hop king!

Shout out to Nas for saying to kids, “Stay in school and get your education”.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

I just saw the so-called interview that this so called host on Fox News did with President Obama. I will not use the clowns name in my article.

It was one of the worst things I have seen on TV. This dude interrupted the President over and over and over again in this interview on Fox News. Look up the word disrespect. This is what the so called interview was.

If I was the President, I would have worked out of the room and ended the interview. This was planned by Fox News to try to make the President look bad.

In my opinion, President Obama did not have to go on Fox to pitch his health care plan. That would have been the last place I would have went.

Hannity, O’Reilly and others on Fox News treat President Obama like dirt. They don’t even call him President Obama. They call him ‘this guy” or “that guy” or even just “Obama”. But they will call W. Bush “President”.

And by the way, do you think Fox would have treated treated W. Bush in the manner they treated President Obama? The answer is NO!

Check out how the fella treated the President in the link above.

Well it is about time. The #1 player in the world of golf Tiger Woods is returning to competition on the course at the 2010 Masters in April.

I know fans are happy, CBS, NBC, ESPN, ABC etc is happy, advertisers are happy.

If you are a golf fan, you are happy that Tiger is returning to play.

With Woods returning, that is more cash for everyone. No matter what you think about the problems of Tiger’s love life, one thing is for sure. He is the best golfer maybe in the history of the game and the game needs Tiger Woods.

Yes certain players on the tour blasted Tiger about his problems. Even a older legend like Tom Watson said some things about Tiger. But I am sure Tiger will make folks forget all that win he starts kicking their butt on the golf course and wins events just like before.

Commercials are running already on CBS about the Masters and the return of Tiger. When Tiger arrives at Augusta, it will be one of the biggest days in the history of sports on TV or TV period besides President Obama taking office.

I will be watching. Like I said before the only time I watch golf is when Tiger is near the lead and maybe John Daly. That’s it.

So welcome back Tiger. The sports world needs you and golf needs you. I hope Tiger learned from his huge mistakes and becomes a better man, a better husband and a better father.

“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

A big shout out to President Obama for donating all of the $1.4 million prize money from his win of a Nobel Peace Prize to 10 different organizations. This is a great move on the President’s part.

Some folks, mainly people on the right say President Obama should not have received a Nobel Peace Prize and truth be told President Obama was a little shocked but the bottom line is he did get it. So folks need to stop hatin on the President.

People like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck and others on the right want to blast President Obama every chance they get on every topic. He cannot do anything right in their eyes. Nothing.

Heck, Fox News does not even shows Presidential press conferences held by President Obama when at the same time, MSNBC and CNN show it. What’s up with that readers? Did they treat former President George W. Bush that way?

Do you think Fox News and others said anything about President Obama donating all his prize money to children and youth organizations etc? No they did not. This is truly truly sad. Again good looking out Prez for you donating your prize money to different organizations. That is a very positive move on your part.
