Art & Politics: Do the two mix?
My emphatic answer is YES! For me art and politics go hand in hand. Art is a platform in which politics can stand and be understood. In an earlier post I wrote about the rise and fall of my beloved Eminem after his freestyle about Trump at the BET Awards. Em is still getting backlash…

They look crazy and have even crazier names. I was watching the MTV Video Music Awards the other night and my little sister…

Ke$ha’s Triumphant Return
Kesha, the pop princess, is back and a little more subtler than before. We all know Kesha for her crazy, colorful, wild self. Who can forget the song that made her famous in the first place? Tik Tok, anyone? That was the song that made her famous and it was EVERYWHERE! I remember being in…
