December 18, 2007 was an important day for Radric “Gucci Mane” Davis. It had nothing to do with the release of his album, or with media drama about Young Jeezy. On this day he visited an Atlanta school in his neighborhood, Dobbs Elementary, to talk with students about getting good grades while rewarding them with […]

It is hard to believe 2007 is officially in the books. But as fast as this year has passed, there was plenty that happened in the basketball world these past 12 months. We saw LeBron make it to the finals, an ugly referee scandal… and we saw the New York Knicks (nuff said). […]
What up y’all! December 27 was special, man. We caught a flight out of Boston on Wednesday and came into Dallas for the Mavericks/Cavs game. This morning, I went over to the shoot around and caught LeBron James in the hallway where we did a nice piece for the Overtime show. He doesn’t […]
Now that 2007 has come and gone, it’s a thankful day that we have some new fashion to look forward to in 2008. I’m not an official fashionista, but I’ve been known to rock a hot outfit at the right moment, and I do have eyes. Granted, there were a few things from the […]

Sincerity is something missing in a lot of musicians who delve into the mainstream side of the art nowadays. Many artists get caught up in the “act” they put on and become that “alter-ego,” forgetting whom they actually are. That’s not the case with Fergie though.
