So much for trying to be a better blogger. Well, at least on my personal blog, 'cause a sista has been putting in work on SoulBounce on the daily. But that's neither here nor there, because my poor original spot has been collecting cobwebs and dust bunnies. For shame! Even Baby Butta is giving Grown-A Butta the side-eye for being a trifling (personal) blogger. I'm gonna try to do better, y'all.

Please excuse my CP time with this, but I wanted to let the good folks who read my blog know that I am featured in this month's issue of Clutch. How cool is that? I feel like I've arrived! OK, OK, let me not get carried away, but I really am honored that the online magazine chose to interview me for the March blog index. Check it out when you get a chance!

So the cover for April's issue of Ebony magazine with Janet Jackson has surfaced on the net, and on first glance it's pretty unremarkable. There's some nonsense about the shady Clintons and if Black America owes them a debt or somesuch. Beneath that headline is another about the pole dancing fitness craze. In true Ebony fashion, they're only about 3 years late on that one. But it was the next

Tuesday, February 26, 2008 is Du Day at SoulBounce. All Badu. All ba-day.

When it comes to men, I'm partial to dark meat but I will make an exception for Matthew McConaughey, or as I like to refer to him, Mack-A-Honey. Sweet Jesus on the cross this man is fine. Here he is in a new commercial for Dolce & Gabbana's new men's fragrance The One. Yes, Matthew, you are the one, the two and the three. Props to the love muffin, B. Scott, for the heads up.

Good Lord! February just snuck up on a sista. Well, since I haven't blogged for the past few weeks and I have a ton of stuff to blog about, I'm just gonna do a January wrap up in this post. Got it? Good. YT Update For everyone who asked why YT took my account down, it's because I had been accused of copyright infringement for posting videos from the Prince tribute concert that I went to in

And right about now the feeling is mutual. Over 110 videos. Gone. My account has been shut down, probably forever despite my sending a request to be reinstated. Thanks, Prince and WMG. I'm holding up a finger. Can you guess which one? So to everyone who has enjoyed my videos and linked to them over the past year, thanks and it was nice while it lasted. Should this unfortunate situation change

Comedian Finesse Mitchell has written a book that I must add to my collection after watching these hilarious promotional videos. Your Girlfriends Only Know So Much: A Brother's Take on Dating and Mating for Sistas looks like it'll be more good for laughs than actual advice, but you never know. There might be some nuggets of wisdom on this crazy thing called dating in between the jokey jokes.

I've somehow managed to get sucked into watching Make Me A Supermodel. Until America's Next Top Black Model comes back for Cycle 10 in late February, this reality comp will satisfy my jones for vapid pretty types. But before I talk about the show, can I address co-host Tyson talking greasy about Tyra Banks? (Click on the link to go to Page Six to read him jibber jabbing out of the side of his

Then we are so screwed, Black America. I present to you Exhibits A & B: Last night I watched 106th & Park on BET so that I could catch the new Janet Jackson video on the widescreen. I'd already seen it online but hoped that perhaps it would be better on a bigger screen. It wasn't, but for some nutso reason I didn't change the channel once the bootleg TRL went off and was caught totally out there

I am so behind on posting my concert videos to my YouTube channel that it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I was keeping on top of them for a good minute, but now I've somehow managed to amass over 50 clips to edit and post online. I'm gonna try to upload as much as I can over the next few days and this weekend because with five more concerts on the calendar in the next couple weeks plus my

Last night I kicked the new year off right by seeing Eric Roberson in concert in Philadelphia at World Cafe Live. Great show as per usual, but the biggest highlight of the night was seeing Jill Scott afterward in the lobby. I had a sneaking suspicion that Jilly from Philly was gonna be in the house because Erro's opening act was none other then CHINAHBLAC who is one of Jill's current background

I'm a day late on the Happy New Year greetings, but I'll blame it on being sick. Yes, I rang in 2008 with a cold that has had me laid up since last Friday. But thankfully I'm slowly and surely getting better, and I'm gonna be just fine like the Mary J. Blige track. Speaking of MJB, Growing Pains is the bomb! Love. It. And you know what else I love?

I'm sure everyone has seen previews or commercials for the new film Charlie Wilson's War, which is hitting theaters soon. Call me crazy, but the star of the film, Tom Hanks, looks absolutely nothing like Charlie "Last Name" Wilson. I mean, this movie is about the Gap Band's song "You Dropped A Bomb On Me," right?

If you visited SoulBounce.com or JillScott.com over the weekend, then you may have seen some videos of Jill Scott in concert shot by none other than yours truly on both sites. It's no secret that I posted it on the Bounce, but imagine my surprise when I went to Jill's site last night and saw my little videos on there in all their bootleg glory. A little back story about the videos: I saw Jill in

Short of posting a photo of Boris Kodjoe or Lamman Rucker with a big red bow tied around them (and little else), I thought that the photo above would grab everyone's attention. I just wanted to let folks know that SoulBounce is currently celebrating Christmas in grand style with a couple of things that may be of interest.

I'm doing something a little different this Takin' It Back Thursday. Instead of posting a classic old school music video I'm gonna post videos of a classic old school artist. And if you couldn't tell by the title of this post the artist I'm taking it back with today is Big Daddy Kane. I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Kane--with his fine self I might add--perform alongside MC Lyte, Mad Skills

So who saw Lenny Kravitz on the American Music Awards last night? Swing low sweet chariot and carry me home, THAT BROTHA KILLED IT. In the aftermath of non-singing bastids by the likes of Akon, T-Pain, and Rihanna (yeah, I said it) performing or winning awards on the show, Lenny singing "I'll Be Waiting" was a much-needed breath of fresh air because this show was on a respirator.
