(ThyBlackMan.com) One thing great about May 2015—yes, very specific time, I know—was the awesomeness that was Kung Fury. This 30-minute film hit El Rey almost a week after its debut and no one really knew what to think. It was surprising and weird to some and for both 80s kids ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Little is a guilty pleasure. The guilt comes as you watch a 14-year-old actress (Marsai Martin, Black-ish) behaving like a lustful 38-year-old female who flirts with a middle school teacher. It’s kinda pervy.

(ThyBlackMan.com) It has been sad for many, and heartbreaking, to hear that rap artist Nipsey Hussle was gunned down in the same community he was actively working to uplift. It was even more disheartening to read that a gang member is suspected as the gunman as Nipsey Hussle was working very ...
