I’m sure you’ve heard about all the drama that unfolded Saturday evening at the Civic Center but just in case you haven’t let me give you a brief summation: The Alpha Phi Alphas from Central State University won it for the men in the fraternity competition, while Zeta Tau Alpha, an all white sorority from Arkansas beat the prim and proper AKA’s from Indiana in a major upset.

That’s all. There’s really nothing else you need to know. Well… besides the fact that the crowd of historically Black fraternities (i.e. The “Divine 9”) didn’t take too kindly to the win. You could have literally heard a pin drop as Ludacris, the evening’s host, prepared to announce the 2nd place winner.
There were a ton of upset greeks at the Civic Center and I thought there was gonna be a riot when Continue Reading…
Former Cosby Kid Malcolm Jamal Warner hit the “A” last weekend for Joyce Littel’s Passion & Poetry. The event was held at 404 Lounge and was a welcome retreat from hip-hop & rap.
Warner headlined the event along with his group, Miles Long Experience, who treated the crowd with poetry and great music. The actor/musician seems to be still plagued by his Cosby Show past as fans still recall his days on the show, but according to AJC’s Rodney Ho, Warner takes it all in stride:
At one point, someone yelled, ?One more, Theo!? He looked peeved and started haranguing the crowd in less-than-pleasant terms for referencing his character from years? past. The audience hushed. But then he broke into that Cosby-esque smile, indicating he was just messing with them. ?Theo,? he said, ?has been good to me.?
I agree. Malcolm. He has! And good lookin out on the haircut! Love it!!
Check out a few performance videos below.? In the first video, take note of their version of India.Arie’s “Brown Skin”….ridiculous!: Continue Reading…
