Wow! The state of hip hop is crazy when a grandfather decides to jump in and create an album. Bill Cosby has decided to throw his hat in the hip hop arena and create a positive rap album called “State of Emergency”. The great thing is that he selected a friend of mine from Newark, New Jersey, Jace The Great, to produce and score the album.

Jace is an incredibly talented producer and rapper whom I met through my artist, Tiffany Cheri Price, in East Orange, New Jersey. I love Jace’s energy and his passion for music and with Jace, I believe this project will succeed.

Bill Cosby can be found on both Facebook and Twitter. State of Emergency will be performing on Monday night October 19, 2009 in a town hall meeting in New York City via Ustream.

The Millionaire Mind of Mike Tyson Revealed

The mind of a millionaire is what sets you apart. It’s your mental attitude coupled with hard core action that drives this success.

Actually, it’s the exact opposite. Your mind will seek exactly what you believe about yourself in your innermost thoughts. Mike Tyson proved that even when he had $100 Million, he thought of himself as poor, broke, and a street kid. The mind did whatever it could to make that a reality and found drugs, despair, anger, destitution, and an impoverished mind set.

The mind of a millionaire is what sets you apart. It’s your mental attitude coupled with hard core action that drives this success. You must believe in your heart that you are worth millions of dollars and the mind will do everything to take you there. It will set you on a path even though you may not be there right this second. You must internalize success and internalize your dream and goal of being a millionaire. It is all in your mind.

Opening the door to prosperity can seem to be a long and arduous and sometimes endless process. You have prosperity’s key. You just need to know how to unlock the door. Prosperity is not fleeting and not elusive to us as young black americans and young african americans. To open the door of prosperity, you need vision. Vision will give you the ability to see the unseen and see through trouble and your present condition.

Gerard Spinks on Prosperity for Young Black Youth

If you can truly stand and see through the troubled waters, you can make it to the other side of prosperity’s door. It’s available for us all. Anyone can have it. You must continually knock on the door and keep trying and keep working. You must keep writing and be prepared at all times. You must be ready. You must finish school. You must go to your dance class. You must go to your football practice. You must be ready and stay ready.

Prosperity will answer your knock when you least expect it. It will open the door. Will it find you there or did you leave and give up long ago because you didn’t have vision? Please stay there. Please stay focused.

Master P Feeds The Homeless For The Holidays

Always giving back to others, Master P has announced that he’s partnering with OneMillionGifts to help one million parents and children in the United States to feed the homeless during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Always giving back to others, Master P has announced that he’s partnering with OneMillionGifts to help one million parents and children in the United States to feed the homeless during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Since I’ve known Percy Miller, he has always helped others. He helped people become millionaires as artists and taught people the game. He helped his family grow into business and entertainment moguls and now in this selfless act, he’s helping the homeless.

Master P Feeds the Homeless

Master P says:

Growing up in poverty made me realize that most crimes are committed during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not only will we feed and clothe one million but also we can help prevent a lot of those in need from committing crimes like robbing and stealing the food or gifts they can’t afford during the holidays. Our mission is to bring hope to families by offering programs that help educate and rehabilitate families back into society. My personal goal is to get everybody involved. Even with the current downfall of the economy, each one of us can help make a difference by volunteering or donating.

I’m also reaching out personally to corporations, entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, entertainers, churches, foundations, radio stations, online media, TV stations, Oprah, Dr.Phil, and others that can help bring awareness to this great cause. Eight years ago, I realized that education saves lives and being charitable and helping those in need has given me a profound happiness in my life, as there is nothing more rewarding than bringing smiles to children who are less fortunate. OneMillionGifts.org specializes in these areas. Therefore, I’m honored to be a part of this team.

President Obama Improves Military Gay Rights

Even if a dude is strong as an ox and tough as hell, if he claims he’s gay and loves men, he is immediately ostracized in an environment where everyone needs to stick together to stay alive. Tough issue.

Now this is a very touchy subject and I have to applaud President Obama for going all the way on this issue. I have to admit that I grew up playing football in the midwest and in Texas. If a dude was even close to being thought of as gay, he was completely ostracized and sometimes actually physically hurt by people that I knew. Not a good thing but it’s the truth.

President Obama on Gays In the Military

President Obama on Gays In the Military

I know many soldiers as I worked with a large Federal Government Prime Contractor that provides personnel to the United States Army bases across the world. I always dealt with soldiers and I’ve been on three army bases in and around Atlanta, GA. I have spoken at length with soldiers at lunch and at dinner. This issue is not an easy issue to support.

Yes, I know people will say times have changed and you should support everything and everybody in this world but that’s not always the truth. Being a mans man, having a gay soldier next to you would prove an issue when it comes to issues of war. Not from a fighting standpoint but from a lifestyle standpoint. When you are in a tent and sharing close quarters with people, it is tough for heterosexual men to easily feel at ease with gay men and probably vice versa.

I know gay soldiers can fight and do just as well as anyone else. I think the real issue lies in the normal lifestyle stuff. When you’re in a desert walking around tired, lonely, and dodging RPG’s (rocket propelled grenades), you don’t want to think that the dude next to you loves men. It’s been a camaraderie thing for years. Men just bond with men who exhibit manly characteristics especially in environments like football and war. Even if a dude is strong as an ox and tough as hell, if he claims he’s gay and loves men, he is immediately ostracized in an environment where everyone needs to stick together to stay alive. Tough issue.

Single Black Woman With 4 kids Becomes Neuro Surgeon

She decided to go on a journey that few have the courage to undertake. She became a brain surgeon!

My cousin and I were discussing how tough this economy is and how to bounce back from it. She starts to tell me about one of her facebook friends, a single black woman with 4 kids who got a divorce from her husband and decided she was fed up with having to try to take care of the kids and receive child support. She didn’t want to fight the court system and get all hyped and amped. What did she do?

She decided to go on a journey that few have the courage to undertake. She became a brain surgeon! This is a true story. Even while tending to the kids and being a great mom, she put on her bootstraps and started studying. It took her ten solid years of staying focused on the dream, taking care of the kids who all live with her, and keeping the dream of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon alive.

She decided to never say quit and never have not even one excuse. She also decided to never complain about the children’s father. That’s rare in and of itself. She put her head down and kept driving towards the goal. Today, 12 years after the journey began, this young lady is a pediatric neuro surgeon in Oakland, California.

Despite what’s happening in our economy, we have American true grit. We can make it with a dream. Keep driving toward your goal and never, ever quit!
