We told you about it a long time ago, and it’s finally here.

A Raisin In The Sun comes on Tonight on ABC at 8pm

Not too sound preachy, but we always try to school those cats who may be not know the importance of why it was necessary to make this a post. First things first, a lil background.

A Raisin In The Sun is a play by Lorriane Hansberry from waaay back in the day, it debuted on Broadway in 1959. The story is based upon a family’s own experiences growing up in Chicago. A Raisin In The Sun was the first play written by a Black woman to be produced on Broadway, as well as the first play with a Black director (Lloyd Richards) on Broadway. The title comes from the opening lines of “Harlem”, a poem written by Langston Hughes (“What happens to a dream deferred? / Does it dry up / like a raisin in the sun?”) Throughout the play, the idea of deferred dreams is a prominent theme, as each member of the Younger family attempts to find his or her place amidst a number of difficult situations. How about that for a lil Black History Trivia!

The TV movie stars Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald, Sanaa Lathan, and Sean Combs (Puff Daddy, Diddy, P Diddy, whatever)

I think its great it airs tonight on ABC not on TV One, not on BET or a so called Black Network that they try to put all the Black movies on! It also has a treasured slot of prime time real estate— coming on the day after the Oscars.

Puff is also the Executive Producer of this thing. Shouts to him for putting his money up for a piece of video we actually want to see (we cool on Making the Band part 12).

Bet you dont have these?

HOPE (Helping Other People Everywhere) Artists is a humanitarian organization focused on raising awareness and funds for pressing issues and is committed to green, energy conscious and resourceful business practices. We do this by empowering individuals to be involved in humanitarian causes through creative events, art, music, physical wellness & action.

The HOPE Campaign is bringing the humanitarian crisis in Darfur to the forefront of the media by raising awareness through the creative class and developing artistic projects and funds to help genocide survivors rebuild their lives.  

With the help of Shepard Fairey, Brian Steidle, HOPE Artists, Studio Number One, OBEY Clothing, SPIN, LA Darfur Observance Day, DeepMix, AJC, myspace.com, Great American Volleyball, The Grain Collective, Team Darfur, TRACE, SWINDLE and many other groups this campaign has brought awareness to over 10 million people and funded new programs for the selected Darfur NGO, Global Grassroots.
 
Currently the HOPE Campaign is preparing for the HOPE For Africa Project in March 2008.  This project will bring aid in the form of talent and funds to three educational programs: a teen newspaper in Kenya, a genocide survivors t-shirt making program in Rwanda, and a HOPE funded Global Grassroots (GG) initiative in Chad. This Refugee Library is a social concept identified by GG in the same camp where Brian Steidle took the photo of the young girl and her brother.  Our goal is to bring HOPE to the people through knowledge that the outside world knows and cares about what is happening in Darfur.

Please join the HOPE Campaign and help us continue this effort.

First things first, I haven’t really got into the whole toy collection thing. Shout out to Nito and Mike Moore who I know get their Kid Robot on and all that. The first joint I saw that I wanted, was that De La Soul piece with them in the space suits from a few years back. I actually found it in San Fran but it was WAY outta my price range at the time. And then there was the Biz Markie alarm clock that Ecko released sometime ago that was pretty fresh as well. And… Kid Robot just released the MF DOOM Doll sometime last year.

Now it looks like Tony Starks is joining the list by releasing this new doll on the market. Yep you read that right “The Ghostface Killah Doll.”Now when I spoke to Ghost back in Nov I asked him would this joint be like an action figure? And he said No its just a doll.

But… after checking this thing out, it definitely is a lil more than just a “doll.”For starters the Gold that you see on the joint is suppose to real, the Robe comes off, the Fitted Hat can be twisted to point in any direction… and the funniest thing is.. It Actually Speaks!!!

Ghost actually did the vocals for the piece and it recites classic Ghostface lines from old songs such as

“Remember when i longed dicked you and broke your ovary” and “Yo bitch i fucked your friend, ya you stank ho.

“WOW!!!! But seeing as how Ghostface didnt send me one of these joints for Christmas, chances are the kid wont have this in the collection as the going price is $300

Check the official commerical out right here.

Theres a new spot in downtown Atlanta called Sabor, a few months ago I had the food there, and it was actually pretty good. Check this event out next Thursday, and stay tuned, we might have something for you soon at this new venue.
