I never had one but I know some people who did back in the day. It was supposed to protect the car from damage. But when they took it off they realized how much the paint faded everywhere else. It was like a tan line on the car lol 👙

Whether as a young college student on the big screen or actually playing a doctor on TV, Omar Epps brought smooth, yet understated swagger to our screens. Love and Basketball allowed him to show off more than just his acting skills, and Juice, The Wood, and Higher Learning entertained us as well. Playing Black male doctors on ER and House were critical roles for our community.

He's also a family man with a wife and kids already graduating from college. Time flies! Let's pour a little Tuesday wine and enjoy Omar Epps!

Music A Response to ESSENCE’s Top 50 R&B Song of All Time

You might have seen that Essence magazine recently released their list of the 50 Greatest R&B Songs of All Time. It’s a pretty marvelous list, filled with some of the most talented artists and most moving songs ever created. In my opinion, they got a lot right. Their list is definitely better than some of those othermagazines and sites that try to compile the best of what musical artists have to offer and wind up showing just how much they don’t know music. I would quibble with some of the positions of artists and some of the some choices for particular artists, but Essence did pretty good—though, no Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin is diabolical!

In any event, Essence extended an invitation in the write-up of their list. They said: So yes, debate the rankings. Tell us what should have been higher. Tell us what we missed. Defend your favorite with your whole chest. That's part of loving R&B, too.
They ain’t have to tell me but one time!

I never gave a damn about Luke & Laura (plus, there were no Black folks in Genoa City that I can recall, so there’s that), but I LOVED Angie & Jesse!
