The N-Word is back in the news again. From the video of members of the University of Oklahoma’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity singing a song that prominently features the word to actor Terrence Howard arguing that the word should be used on the hit TV series Empire, it’s got people talking and talking and talking. There seem […]

As thrown as I was when I heard that there would be no indictment in the Ferguson police shooting of Mike Brown and that Mayor Marion Barry had died, I was shaken even more by the news that my friend Annie Lee had passed away. So many times when people die we have regrets or […]

This no way to spend a Thanksgiving vacation watching the Ferguson community react to the news that Officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted. Instead of being able to talk to you guys about it, I’m listening to the TJMS on the app. But now that I think about it, it’s no weirder than anything […]

Life has a way of showing you how bad it can suck sometimes. Coming after two great weeks on the final leg of our Fall Tour I was met with the news that I was no longer on the air in my hometown of Dallas. Every market where the TJMS is aired is important to […]

When I was a kid, I would lay around dreaming about being rich. But I quickly realized that unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you’d have to get up and get to work to make it happen. But as hard as I worked and got fired and worked and got […]

Floyd Mayweather says he doesn’t care that 50 Cent and Manny Pacquiao call him uneducated. He says if it’s true, ‘It makes my story that much more interesting.’ I agree with Floyd 100 percent. Now, before you call me a hypocrite, let me explain. You know I’m a proponent of education and believe that everyone […]

The other day a veteran LAPD officer fired a “shot” that was heard around the world.  In the midst of the nation watching and waiting for justice surrounding the shooting of unarmed Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown Jr., the officer wrote a controversial column. In a nutshell, Sunil Dutta said if you don’t want to […]

Coming this fall to TV: Jewish Jesus, a sitcom about Jesus Weinstein a pushy talent agent living in Hollywood or how about Jesus X, a bow-tie wearing Messiah who sells bean pies on the South side of Chicago- You already know it ain’t gonna happen. So, how does Comedy Central’s Adult Swim and Aaron McGruder […]

It seems like every day we get a study about a new food that causes cancer. It used to stress me out, but then I remembered, stress kills you too.  So does the air we breathe and the water we drink out the tap, the water hose and even the bottle, if it’s made out […]

Someone is always going to be hating on LeBron. People were mad when he left Cleveland for Miami…to win championships, and now they’re mad that after winning championships, he opted to become a free agent so that he could possibly win more. Now that the dust has settled, it looks like the Three Kings, James, […]

I’ve spent much of my career working with Black comedians – some of them A-listers who have risen from the comedy clubs up the food chain to cable TV, talk show host/movie star, network sitcom star/radio show host and back down again. For everyone’s who’s really made it, I can name you five that should have […]

For years I’ve tried to explain why there’s nothing like live radio, black live radio in particular. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t live in the dark ages. I still listen to commercial radio music but I also love satellite, my iPad, Pandora and all the other technology that has allowed us to hear exactly […]
