Ohini Jones artist off the week 6/13-6/19

This week’s artist of the week is Ohini Jonez. A Brunswick Georgia native, Ohini like every artist I will feature has a style synonymous to himself. Coming from Georgia you might expect him to sound a certain way or talk about limited Georgia experience but his music transcends state lines and even regional lines.

White Entertainment Television and HWCU's????

Out the blue I received an email from a viewer of the blog and he told me that he liked the blog and liked what I was trying to do, but he was worried that I came off slightly racist. I asked him how he came to the point and he commented on my previous post of black ownership , black athletes attending HBCU’s, and a BET post that I have not posted yet. So he said all this to say basically what about the “good ole boy’s? Why don’t we have a historically white school or a white version of MTV? I thought this was very comical. Either people of a certain color are naive or ignorant to the fact that if it is not an HBCU than it technically is a historically white school and the “white” version of BET is called MTV/CMT/VH1(ironically one company owns all these music media outlets, Viacom), but either way it goes the media , business, whatever is disproportionately in the majority(whites) favor in all facets, excluding incarceration rates. So shout to the viewer who sent me that email I hope this addresses your concern



Why won't black athletes play at HBCU's

Been watching college sports on ESPN classics this past week and one thing I noticed was the black players. I wondered why more black athletes do not attend HBCU’s(Historically Black College/University) . Is it because they would not receive the notoriety they receive at other institutions? If Tyrell Pryor attended Fort Valley State I bet no one would care.

Artist of the week 6/6/11 Kenny Bowman

This week’s artist is a good friend of mine Kenny “Skinny Kenny” Bowman. He is a East Atlanta native hailing from Stone Mountain, don’t know what it is about that area but it’s producing stars left and right. Mr. Bowman has a style that is as unique as his personality, a real Laissez-faire attitude towards life he tends to look at things in a positive light as opposed to the negative.
