Hello all, now that Don Imus is fired, hip hop is under attack, and Michael Richards’s comedy stand up tour will only sell out at KKK rallies, its about time BrilliantBrown steps in and tells everyone about the Insult Ladder before we have a serious incident.
Wassup folks, we’ve been on hiatus this past week, I wish this was my real job, working on the website daily, but unfortunately, this doesn’t pay the bills, so it’s been kinda spotty lately. We do appreciate all the support and promise to remain as consistent as possible.
So, what’s happened since the last site update…the unfortunate Virginia Tech incident, prayers go out to all families affected, I urge everyone to donate to the Virgina Tech memorial fund, http://www.vt.edu/tragedy/memorial_fund.php
Moving on, we have a new guest to add the growing list of BrilliantBrown interviewees, Ms. Sinnamon Love! For those of you not familiar with Sinnamon, she is the leading anthropolgist at the University of….naw, just kidding, she’s a pornstar of course.
This album cover has to be inducted in the “worst album covers of all-time” Hall of Fame immediately, the album however is superb, so this is another heater from The Brown to the fam, make sure you get this.
Also, there is a bonus link below the album link to the new UGK song featuring Outkast, definite must-listen.

Enjoy the weekend!

Who remembers SOLO? Anybody? Okay, who remembers the song “Where do you want me to put it?” I knew that’d jog some memories… I don’t know why this song’s been stuck in my head all week, but now it’s gonna be stuck in yours. Enjoy.
I can think of a certain Akinyele song that I could play next, but we won’t go there today. Peace everybody. Have a wonderful weekend.
I don’t know how many people have been following the developments of the comments made by Don Imus, a radio talk show host and writer, on Tuesday in reference to the Rutgers women’s basketball team. His exact words to describe them were “nappy headed hoes” and “jiggaboos”. If you haven’t seen it, the video is below:
Imus was subsequently suspended for 2 weeks. My question to our readers this week is do you think that suspension is enough? Or should he have been fired? Do you believe his speech is protected under the First Amendment? I’m pretty sure that regular readers know where I stand on this, so I’m posing the question to you.
