CEMOTAP Open Letter To Netflix

An Open Letter to Ted Sarandos Co-Chief Executive Officer of Netflix CEMOTAP Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive to African People 135-05 Rockaway Boulevard South Ozone Park, N.Y. 11420 (347-907-0629) Ted Sarandos Co-Chief Executive Officer Netflix Corporate Headquarters 100 Winchester Circle Los Gatos, CA 95032, Sir, the purpose of this letter is to express outrage at your ill advised and ill named release of “Netflix Good Times Reboot.” This insulting cartoon has only the most superficial and negative relationship to the original Good Times TV series.

It is organized into ten sections, and perfectly captures the importance of doing-for-self and group solidarity. All sections give the lesson and the solution rolled into one, and the main concepts of each section are reviewed at the end of each lesson. The authors light touch with weighty subjects results in an easy to read set of lessons. If nothing else, F.A.C.T. reveals the extensive role ou...

Raekwon Feat. Rakim "Magnificent"

The urban lifestyle has always been a hive of activity in the world of hip-hop culture. First there is the visually arresting images of graffiti, then there is the hypnotic rotation of turntables. You can't forget the acrobatic display of b-boys or the oral expression of MCing. The lyricist or the MC has long been the center of attention in the sub-culture of underground hip-hop. There are often many questions about who is the best lyricist or who can beat who in a battle. The topic of discussion also centers on who's new record is wack, and who's new record is heat, or which newcomers sound good and shows promise. Lyrics, delivery and production all play key roles in judging the quality of underground hip-hop. Noncommercial rap has always had more poetic value than its corporate under produced counterpart. This week we are showcasing new music from Raekwon featuring Rakim, "Magnificent".
