(ThyBlackMan.com) When I heard about the tragic death of Lord Infamous (aka Ricky Dunigan) from the group Three 6 Mafia, I was hurt, but not surprised. We’re used to rappers dying before the age of 50, since we’ve come to embrace a culture that only serves to deplete our mental ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Let me start off with a disclaimer: I am not a Beyonce fan, meaning I do not religiously follow her career or listen to her music. Though I don’t dislike Beyonce, I don’t keep up with her either. In high school, like every other black girl, I looooved me ...
