Kerry Washington pulled a Shug Avery this week “She’s Married Now!” My plans were to deliver some information regarding another character…but uhhhh…thats not gonna happen.

Kerry-Washington-Nnamdi-AsomughaCongratulations Kerry Washington – Asomugha. :-)

Kerry Washington is an amazing actress and has appeared in various movies throughout the years. Her portrayal of BroomHilda Von Schaft in the controversial Quentin Tarrentino film “Django” adds to her resume of great work. Her performance as Nikki Tru in the Chris Rock film “I Think I Love My Wife” is my favorite. She was a powerful, seductive and sultry woman trying her best to get Chris Rock’s character to cheat on his wife. Without giving away any spoilers lets just say that Chris Rock was having a difficult time staying faithful. Her power of persuasion rivals only that of Olivia Pope.

Olivia-Pope-1

Kerry’s portrayal of Olivia Pope is sexy, confident and vulnerable. Not to mention the fact that SHE IS SO FINE!!! DANG!…….Ok… let me get back on track…The moments when she introspective and vulnerable are the times when I understand the depth of Olivia. This powerful woman who has the ability to wreak havoc on the most powerful government in the world and has everything that a person could possibly want still desires one thing. She wants to be loved. I understand that. I can relate to that. This is probably why the affair she is having with Fitz touches the fans so deeply. So many are in search of love with such a passion that they will overlook immoral and unethical behavior to have love. No judgements. :-)

Some of Kerry’s best moments are when she delivers her range of the emotion with just one look.

olivia-pope-fitz-hookup-in-closet-episode-14-w724When we last saw Olivia she officially kicked Fitz to the curb (Yeah Right) and he went and laid his head on Mellie’s lap asking for forgiveness.. (Whatever)…lol. Im sure these two will find themselves in some computer room somewhere in the White House again. Maybe they’ll get really creative and pledge their love on the White House lawn. Whatever happens she is going to have to answer A LOT of questions. The cameras are on her this time and the media will be focused. I expect Olivia to be her own client for the bulk of next season. And who knows, maybe Kerry being a married woman will affect her portrayal of Oliva….hmmmmmm.

SCANDAL-LESS Thursday – Huck – Complex Assassin – Guillermo Díaz

SCANDAL-LESS Thursday – Joe Morton – Olivia’s Father – Rowan – BYRAAAAAN!

Father knows best. In Olivias case, Father knows EVERYTHING.

Image

Rowan played by Joe Morton surfaced towards the end of the season barking demands and pulling strings all over Washington. He has everybody who is anybody in that town in his back pocket. He’s the boss of the assassins G16. He orders Cyrus around and knows about everything that is going on with Fitz and his daughter Olivia. He seems to be running something. What is he running? What else does he know? Where does he come from?

I have my own answers to those questions. I will address them later. Lets talk about Joe Morton the actor who plays Rowan.

Joe Morton has been acting for over 40 yrs and has stared in a vast array of movies and television shows. He stared as Hal Marshall on the hit show “Sanford and Son” and played the same character on the spinoff called “Grady”. I had no idea Grady had a spinoff. Good Googly Moogly…lol He went on to play the Brother (Alien) from the cult classic “The Brother from Another Planet” He was also Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson from “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. I could go on and on with a list of characters that Joe Morton has played. Its a long list. However one character stands out to me and provides me with great background when it comes to my imagination and the origins of Rowan.

Senator Byron Douglas III from a Different World is Joe Morton’s most memorable character in my opinion. Check out one of my all time favorite moments in television.

ImageAfter watching this I think I know exactly where Rowan came from. Rowan formerly known as Byron (BYRAAAAAAAAN) for all my Tyler Perry fans, HA!..Anyway…After Byron gets left at the alter he is too embarrassed to be seen and he leaves town changes his name and becomes a spy for the CIA. As a result of his exemplary work during the Gulf War, the Monica Lewinsky scandal with President Clinton, The East Coast West Coast beef and Affirmative Action he was promoted to head up the super duper top secret G16.

He started hearing stories about his daughter in the streets and knew it was time to put the hammer down..then….BOOM he is in the limo with his daughter and they are going to have a heart to heart.

Image

Well.. thats what I think happened…lol. Im sure Shonda Rhimes has her own thoughts.

Im looking forward to see what Rowan and Olivia are going to discuss. Are you?

I want to hear what you think. Like the blog. Leave a comment. :-)

Another Thursday without Scandal? Dont fret I got you covered. If you have been having a hard time finding something to do during this SCANDAL hiatus make sure you hit last weeks blog.

TOP TEN “Things to do while SCANDAL is on hiatus” 

kerrywashington5

To be honest I was late to all the SCANDAL hoopla and hype. The only reason I ended up watching was because of a friend of mine who persuaded me and because I wanted to know why this show had people stuck to their television sets. 2 seasons later Im writing a blog about it. Go figure..lol

Full disclosure …Kerry Washington is GORGEOUS and that is probably the main reason I watch the show….HA! The most intriguing aspect of the Olivia Pope character is not her impeccable wardrobe. Finding out that Olivia is based on a real life person is what amazes me.

Judy Smith

Judy Smith is the Co-Executive Producer of SCANDAL and is the real “Fixer”. She was the Press Secretary for President George H Bush and has worked with many high profile clients. Her list of clients include names like Lewinsky, Snipes, Bryant, Barry, Craig, Vick and Jackson Jr.. This woman has put in 25 years of WORK! She is known around the world for her expertise as a “Crisis Management Advisor”

This woman helped a crackhead become mayor again. She helped an accused rapist secure endorsement deals again. She helped a dog fighter reestablish himself in the NFL and Blade was able to be a day-walker again. I think she made Jr. Bi-Polar too….HA!

If I find myself in any crisis I need managed I want her on my team. After reading the bio on her website its clear that this woman is the truth.

It just makes me wonder how many of these episodes have some truth to them….hmmmm.

What Do you think about Judy Smith?  Leave a comment and share. :-)

I know for a fact that I am not the only one looking forward to seeing the discussion that Olivia will have with her father in the back of that limo. But uhhhh…We gotta wait. For the record I am not one who watches very much TV; however Thursday night is a good night to turn on the television and chat it up with my fellow Scandal fans on Facebook. I love doing the commentary as much as watching the show. It’s like sitting in the living room watching television with 4000 of your closest family members. I have a lot of friends….HA!….Anyway…what do I do on Thursdays now?

I was having a conversation with a close friend. We were discussing this enormous void (not really) that Shonda has placed in our lives for the next 4 months. WHAT IS WE GON DO?!

We came to the conclusion that we can do a few things. We will provide the world with a list of what you can do during this Scandal hiatus aaaaaaaand we will provide you with some cool background on some of the characters. So…There you have it. Scandal-Less Thursdays is in effect…LETS GO!!!

Experience is the greatest teacher. That fact cannot be disputed. Knowledge from one who is experienced has to rank pretty high in itself. This week was the second in the series of Pave Settings Entertainment teleconference ft Malik Yusef of Good Music. The teleconference is titled “Breaking into the Music Industry”.

I left the most recent call armed with even more information than I did on the previous one. What I find valuable about this teleconference is that it’s not just about the music. It is about developing a state of mind that will enable you to win. I’m developing more of a laser focus on what is important with respect to this industry and this business I am creating and branding. I invited many of my personal friends and peers to the call and the feedback that I have been receiving is awesome.

I recently received an inbox from Pave Settings Entertainment regarding my participation and I was informed that I could invite a select number of my friend and peers to the call FREE OF CHARGE!!

I appreciate Malik’s approach to the industry because it is centered on having passion for what you do with a holistic perspective. It’s not just about the money. It’s about our spirits.

2013 has been exciting year for me. Amazing projects are on the horizon. Lets go down the list.

1. Ladies Love Mixtapes Ep

This will be released the spring of 2013. This project was inspired by relationships. This seven track..(at the moment) Ep is a loose story about a relationship between a man and a woman. This is a project that focuses on the start of a relationship to the start of a relationship. My intention was to create a project that had some type of loose narrative that would cater to women’s sensibilities and be more inclusive with respect to rap music and Hip Hop as a culture.

The bulk of the production is done Tye Hill. Eddy Lamarre and Crankz from Poland also provide solid production.

The lead single “Take Our Time” produced by Tye Hill is a smooth laid back track that is an introduction to the project and sets the stage for the rest of the Ep. Feel Free to Listen/Buy the track below.

2. The Guild A Hate You Can Trust

I collaborated with some of Chicagos best talent to create a project called “The Guild. A Hate You Can Trust” This project is the brainchild of Marshall “Mars” Lindsey and Dj Kwest On and is inspired by the Cartoon Network Animated Series on Adult Swim called The Venture Brothers.

This project enlists the talents of Nicole Sampshon (singer), Sean Ace (producer/rapper) and Cya (rapper) who form Brown Audio, Jus cuZ (producer/rapper), and  Vision 77 (producer) and yours truly Precise… Check the Promo Below

3. The Anti Skinny Jeans Lp

Image

I am super excited about this project. The Anti Skinny Jeans Lp is the brainchild of rapper/producer Rkitech from Long Island Ny. He has produced for notable artists such as Mary J Blige, EPMD, Redman and a host of others.

This project features the likes of Keith Murray, Buckshot, Hakim from Channel Live, Prime Meridian and ME…Precise. The lead single called “Back to the Basics” Ft Rkitech and Hakim fro Channel Live provides some good insight as to what you should expect. Check the video below.

….keep your eyes open for the“The Feeling” video ft Rkitech and Precise …listen to the song below.

What Ladies Love – Is it ever ok to date someone who is married? Oliva and Fitz

Posted on by

Whats Good World!!!

Welcome to the eighth topic in this series entitled What Ladies Love.

The question previous to this one was “If a dress could describe your personality, would you be a black mini, a pinstriped business suit or a ball gown?” Explain. There were some great descriptions with respect to this question and so many of you seem so versatile in terms of who you are. Thats a good thing.

This weeks question is sure to spark a spirited discussion.

Is it ever ok to date someone who is married?

Image

I have been married and I have ben unfaithful. When I was doing this I knew it was wrong but I had suspicions that happened to be right. However even though I was right in my suspicion it still did not make it right for me to be unfaithful. My feelings at this point in my development are pretty cut and dry. I would never date anyone who is married. Karma is real and why tamper with someone else’s union.  

Image

I posed this question at my job and I got one answer that was quite compelling. My co-worker said that if either spouse was terminally ill and they spoke about not being able to meet each others emotional and physical needs that it would be ok to go elsewhere to have those needs fulfilled. I thought that was an interesting perspective.

I dont think its ever right. What do you think? Please leave a comment below.

Django Unchained – Spike Takes A Stand

Posted on by

People who have known me for quite some time know I am a huge fan of Spike Lee. Most of my favorite movies are Spike Lee joints. In my opinion Spike Lee does amazing work when it comes to filmmaking. He also does an amazing job at telling the story of African Americans from all different facets of life. So when I was watching an interview he did with Vibe earlier this week the interviewer asked Spike if he would speak on the new Quentin Tarantino movie Django Unchained his response resonated with me.

Image

He said: “I can’t speak on it …I’m not gonna see it. I’m not seeing it. All I’m gonna say is it would be disrespectful to my ancestors to see that movie. I can’t disrespect my ancestors. Now that’s me. I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody but myself.”

I respect Spike as a filmmaker. I appreciate his candor. He rarely ever holds his tongue. I understood his response. I understand the seriousness of recognizing our ancestors and honoring them. His response almost compelled me to take a similar position. However I was intrigued and wanted to see how Quentin Tarantino would approach this story of a slave getting revenge.Image

There will be NO SPOILERS in this review. If you are expecting some super political extra emotional movie about the African Holocaust/Slavery, this is definitely not the movie for you. Quentin stays true to form. He delivers the story of Django in the form of a spaghetti western. What’s most interesting about this film are the moments when the audience is left to decide if they should laugh or be offended. Leonardo De’Caprio and Samuel Jackson play their parts to perfection.

ImageI appreciate the way Jamie Foxx approached the character. There is a sense of dignity that he manages to maintain in the midst of this film that makes it quite believable. I couldn’t stop looking at Kerry Washington without thinking about Olivia Pope…HA!.. Sorry…I wonder how she is gonna help Huck out of this latest jam…….ANYWAY…Overall it was a very good film but the depth of my experience was realized after the movie was over.

As I walk out of the theater there is this feeling of…”What did I just watch?” Another thing that I noticed was the eye contact I was getting from other black men as if they had felt the same way that I did. I could tell who just saw Django by the look they had on their faces.

The story of The African Holocaust/Slavery in ImageAmerica has NEVER truly been dealt with. I know why Spike Lee feels the way that he does. Ultimately this is a movie. The last person I would expect to tell the story of The African Holocaust/Slavery properly would be Quentin Tarantino. With that being said I look forward to Spike Lee providing us with something that will speak to the hearts of the world, evoke change and restore the sense of dignity we have lost in our community. It is up to us to tell our stories.

We were free before freedom was given to us.

Oh Yeah…I give “Django Unchained” 4 stars out of 5. :-)
