Tory Lanez Appreciation Post

By -

I really like this brother. Not just because he's from my hometown of Toronto, but because he has that vibe. Star quality. Charm. And his vocals are also ridiculously great.

He can rap. He can sing. He can DJ. And this is the element of Tory Lanez that solidified his talent in my eyes. I've heard him flow on so many different styles and across genres, but when I started to hear just how beautiful his vocals could compliment the dancehall genre...it was over.

Here are the collaborations and/or remixes that made me understand how deep Tory's talent really went. I enjoy his contributions, always:

CROCODILE TEETH FREESTYLE

SENSELESS (WITH STEFFLON DON)

CALL ME IF (WITH DEXTA DAPS)

GIRLFRIEND (WITH BUSTA RHYMES)

WE CAN (WITH KRANIUM)

This moment was also incredible, and I enjoyed the acoutic vibe and vulnerability of it all. So musical, and really showcased his vocals.

By the way, Meg is not telling the truth. #TeamTory

That is all.

Why I'm Willing to Forgive Kevin Hart...

I almost didn't read Kevin Hart's book "I Can't Make This Up" because of his recent infidelity scandal. I have been a die hard fan for a few years now, have even traveled out of country (OK, so it was just Buffalo, NY) to see his stand up show, and I'm definitely a follower of his social media profiles. Eniko is a Jamaican girl (brap brap), so I was thrilled to learn more about her, about them as a couple, and live the hype Hollywood life through their photos, interviews, and Insta-stories. That's what they are there for, right? Our entertainment! I was 100% invested into the Kevin Hart story, and loved to see him hustling his book "I Can't Make This Up" earlier this year. As a writer, and publisher, and urban cultural enthusiast, Kevin Hart hit all of my favourite things this year. He's a media mogul now, an author, he's a great actor, funny as hell, AND he has a Jamaican woman on his arm! What's not to love? The cheating s

Kevin Hart & The Wayans Bringing Funny Back to Television

I mentioned it back in July 2009 after checking out a comedy show from Toronto's own Trixx , and again in November 2009 with the renaissance of Twitter humour with Affion Crockett, Nile Evans, Craig Wayans, Damian Dante Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr., DeRay Davis , and a few others in their circle of funny men. I was laughing that year...a lot, thanks to them. Kevin Hart was on SNL this past weekend, the Wayans family were on Oprah and it reminded me that I MISS LAUGHTER! Good old-fashioned sitting in front of the TV and actually laughing out loud. Sometimes years go by and there's no one hot out there, no one doing anything overtly hilarious. And then every now and then there's a wave of comedic genius back in the air , and it's stand-up time again. This is one of those times. Who doesn't love comedy? It's a beautiful thing when it's done correctly . I remember the first time I laughed so hard until I cried and couldn't breathe...
