To My Dear: Meet Adele
Granted Brit songbird, Adele, has worked the NYC circuit in the past couple of months, personally I discovered her in an episode of Secret Diary of A Call Girl (love it!) with the ballad "Hometown Glory". However, since her powerful performance on SNL, Adele's got the internet going stark raving mad! I wanted to give her the N1DIR official cosign (trust me it means a lot). I haven't stopped playing 19, her debut album, since I...um... acquired it. So far I got one G digging it, so you should consider doing the same.

Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power, & Respect
With the emergence of Obama as an iconic figure, the black community now has 2 prototypes for masculinity. The documentary below dissects and compares the two symbols of manhood. Barack rises above the tainted image of what it means to be a black man, while Curtis Jackson is the antihero, gaining respect through fear, and cementing the idea of violence as the weapon.
