This is a collection of many works in my catalog and has been inspired by hiphop in general. It is probably the the best work I could ever make. Some simple, some complex, and some simply complex. My goal is for you to walk with on my journey as a musician and business man with a three dimensional feel. I dare you not to skip a track or rewind a track and walk into the mind of Lou Nac. It is just my thoughts.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams (née Stewart) has moved into the world of dating and officially put her past with Kordell Stewart to rest. We first watched Porsha get started back on the dating scene on the Steven Harvey Show.
These days, Porsha says she has been hanging out with a few prospects but she has narrowed her choices down to someone really special.
“There’s someone that I think is very special. He’s kind of standing out of the pack right now, so we’ll see how that turns out,” she told Radar Online.
She added that we might know who he is.
“He’s well known and I’m just a little cautious this go around so I’m just kind of waiting for the time to be right before I make the next move,” Porsha said.
She also said that we’ll likely get the big reveal of who this man is on Real Housewives of Atlanta. That is, unless the rumor mill figures out who he is via Instagram first. That or provided that RHOA producers actually capture footage and show it.
I’m willing to bet that it’s a music producer or and athlete.
Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, dolphins have their own version of the chief and it’s a puffer fish. Cameras caught dolphins getting high off of neurotoxins released by the unique fish.

(AllHipHop News) The world has lost one of the greatest wordsmiths its ever known. Controversial writer, poet laureate, professor and activist Amiri Baraka died yesterday (January 9th) after years of battling an undisclosed medical condition.
The 79 year old scholar had been was hospitalized in late December for an undisclosed illness.
Baraka was an active participant in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s and changed his named from his birth name Everett LeRoi Jones to Amiri Baraka following Malcolm X’s 1965 assassination. Baraka also founded the Black Arts Repertory Theatre and School.
The Baraka-led Black Arts Movement of the 1960s produced such legendary African American artists as Gil Scott Heron, Nikki Giovanni and others. In 2007, he spoke on the purpose of the Black Arts Movement:
[W]e wrote art that was, number one, identifiably Afro American according to our roots and our history and so forth. Secondly, we made art that was not contained in small venues. The third thing we wanted was art that would help with the liberation of black people, and we didn’t think just writing a poem was sufficient. That poem had to have some kind of utilitarian use; it should help in liberating us. So that’s what we did. We consciously did that.
Baraka was also a polarizing figure whom attracted a considerable level of controversy for his poem “Somebody Blew Up America” about the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. The poem was released after Baraka’s 2002 induction as the second ever poet laureate for New Jersey and contained lines that were perceived as anti-semetic. Soon after the poem was released, the poet laureate position was removed.
Check out Baraka perform the controversial poem, “Somebody Blew Up America” below:

A 19-year-old in English boy got high on a drug nicknamed “meow meow’ before stabbing his mother and cutting off his own penis.
Via Huffington Post:
The West Sussex teen, whose name has not been released, took mephedrone on December 29 shortly before attacking his 46-year-old mother, the Mirror reported.
The woman called police and “when the police arrived they found him hanging from a window and then discovered he had cut off his penis,” a family friend told the Mirror.
Surgeons were reportedly able to reattach the penis.
So…this report left out any word on his mother’s condition and what charges he may be facing because of this.
