Never Judge A Book By It's Cover.. Unless You're An Author – RB Friday Night Flavors Video

219 days ago - By Rylan Branch

The Picture On My License 2012

This post got its name through an extremely interesting occurrence which entails that a young female that I know is here at the local Starbucks which is one of the last places in the world that one would expect for her to be due to some facts that I am not at liberty to discuss at this time.

Also, she explained that she actually makes Hip Hop beats that we reviewed as I was attempting to get and her friend to add on to this video feature, which again for reasons that cannot be disclosed at this time, they declined yet said that I should never judge a book by it’s cover, to which my response is as stated in the title of this installment.

In closing, her favorite artist is 2pac because he keeps it real, and we got into a brief discussion about this post, and well, I’m just reporting the news as its happening, or then again, perhaps it is happening as I am reporting it?


Literally, a different perspective to consider.

Ludacris & Soledad O'Brien - It's Pimpin' All Over The World!

Shouts going out once again to Soledad O’Brien and the Mixed Chick Revolution for having an innate understanding of certain matters that are less than often spoken about and taking the initiative to bring the matters to the light for the purposes of opening up rational public discourse.


 

The New Promised Land – Silicon Valley Debuts Sunday, Nov. 13 at 8:00p.m. and 11:00p.m. ET & PT

While much of the country struggles to emerge from a recession, California’s Silicon Valley is booming, and technology companies like Facebook, Skype, and Apple are seeing their valuations soar.  CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O’Brien reports that the ownership of this digital bloom is mostly young, white, and male.  For her fourth Black in America documentary, O’Brien asks why, according to industry analyst CB Insights, less than one percent of all venture capital money went to digital startups with African-American founders in 2010 – and she profiles a unique, technology-focused “accelerator” developed to help African-American digital entrepreneurs secure funding to establish their businesses.

As African American tech entrepreneurs, I supposed we could offer some valid insight into the matter of this upcoming news segment, yet since it tends to work better to show the news as opposed to tell the news, the ability to get the word out about this CNN News special in a timely fashion should be suffice for any investors interested in learning about web ventures with profit potential.

Warren Buffet And Jay Z – The Secret Millionaires Club Cartoon Series

220 days ago - By Rylan Branch

T.G.I.F. (Thank God It’s Freeday).

At long last, some credible help has arrived on the scene to help break the cycle of the
“cool to be dumb, customer posing as a hustler, the way to wealth is through posing like a rapper on the net believing that earning money is simply a matter of saying that one is gettin’ money” type of ideology.

The name of the venture is The Secret Millionaires Club and a special note of interest and respect is in the fact that the message and cartoon series is targeted towards younger children as opposed to “Generation Why?” 80′s babies who are currently in the age range of young adults which is another story in itself, yet this collaboration between Warren Buffet and Jay Z does open up doors for more of what looks to be a corporate/street knowledge mashups further demonstrating the near identical nature of both forms of thought and culture and their value when combined in one package.

A different and futuristic entrepeneurs perspective to consider.

Ice T Speaks On Religion And The "ONE PERCENT" Nation

The Ice Opinion -
Pimp’s Guide to Sex, Rap, And God: Religion: One Percent Nation by Ice-T

 

 

This is a follow up or attachment to todays earlier installment about the 99% vs. 1% as I recalled a book that was released some years back listed above authored and narrated by Ice T which interestingly enough classified groups in the same way that the current Occupy Wall Street protesters have.

You can do your own research and form your own opinions regarding what the man says and I will keep it simple by stating that it does seem to be somewhat of a pattern throughout history for pimpish individuals to start up religions, philosophies, and belief systems.

A “Law & Order” perspective to consider.
