There aren’t many television shows out there today that aren’t reality shows.  Sure reality shows can be entertaining.  Who isn’t amused by watching Snooki make a drunk fool of herself on TV, but is this really the culture that we should be raising children in?  Not only are reality shows oversexualized, but they are also becoming violent.

Popular talk show host Wendy Williams even publicly stated that she was boycotting this season of “Basketball Wives” because of it’s increase in violence.  The promo for the season showed fights breaking out, bottles being thrown, and grown women basically just acting a hot mess to put it simple.

Vibe Magazine’s recent issue displays four of today’s hottest female reality stars Chrissy Lampkin, Evelyn Lozada, Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss on it’s cover with a nearby title that says “Meet Your New Role Models”.  

But lets be honest should these women really be considered “role models”?  Should we be teaching our young girls that they can simply sleep their way to sucess and fight anyone that gets in their way?

If people want what they are watching to change a stand needs to be taken and soon before our youth wind up heading down a road to complete self destruction.

Lamar hit the music scene in 2010 with his first mixtape, Overly Dedicated.  

The Compton native is bringing fire to the game and is definitely an artist to look out for in 2012.  His 3rd album, however in his eyes “true debut album” is set to be released sometime in 2012.  Lamar’s first single from the album entitled “The Recipe” dropped in early April featuring Dr. Dre and has already gained the attention of fans nationwide.

Don’t know what to do while you are eagerly waiting for his album to drop?  Have no fear!!  Lamar has recently been a collab fiend and you can find him featured on many songs from your favorite artists.  He is even featured in “A1 Everything” on Meek Mill’s Dreamchasers 2.

Guess the West coast is making a comeback!  Keep your ears open for more on Kendrick Lamar, including his much anticipated album release date.

It is sad to say, but many young athletes that don’t make it do not know what to do with their lives.  Yes, it is true that most of them attended college for at least a year and some even graduate with degrees, but the unfortunate truth of it is that their real major was whatever sport they were playing at the time, not whatever is printed on their degree.

Something needs to be done about this.  Young athletes, especially Black males need to be taught that they can have a regular life after sports are done.  They need to be encouraged to actually learn in school and not just allowed to ease by.  There is life after sports!

Recent reports have surfaced that Williams is now a rapper!  Hard to imagine right?  To get your taste of what’s to come for Serena and to see if she can really spit check out this clip of a track she put up.
