This is the last photograph taken of Tupac Shakur about an hour before he was gunned down in Las Vegas in a drive-by shooting. He would die in the hospital a few days later. Shakur, who was 26 years old was a passenger in the car. The driver, Suger Knight–yes, THAT Suger Knight–was not […]
…Ok here we go. Another live action remake of a Disney movie, another wave of closet biggots or racists want voice themselves. I’m gonna make this my “one and done” article in regards to the Live Action version of The Little Mermaid. Like the 2014 version of Annie starring Khuvenzane Wallis, much of the […]
If you were alive and older than 6 in 2000, you probably remember Who Let The Dogs Out by the Baha Men, a Carribbean group based in The Bahamas (hence the name “Baha” Men): The song became mainstream in the U.S. after it was famously included with Nickelodeon’s secons Rugats movie Rugrats in Paris.

Real name Artis Leon Ivey Jr., Coolio is of course most known for this legendary song: Gangsta’s Paradise is easily one of the top 5 greatest rap songs EVER. Made for the 1995 blockbuster Dangerous Minds starring Michelle Phifer, the song is the reason that movie broke a lot of box office […]

For those born after 1995, you probably have no memory of what I like to call the final days of children’s movie blockbusters. In plain English: Hugely popular movies geared towards younger audiences that became […]
In this age of Netflix and other on-demand streaming services, most who grew up during the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s have all but forgotten that just 7 years ago, the weekly cartoon block disappeared from Broadcast TV forever.
