After nearly a decade, Q-tip is back with his new album, The Renaissance. The jazz-infused, vintage hip hop album features Raphael Saadiq, Norah Jones, D'Angelo, and Amanda Diva in what can only be described as an excellent listening experience from beginning to end. Don't sleep.
"You" and "We Fight/We Love" are my fave tracks.
Listen to tracks from The Renaissance on Q-tip's myspace blog here.
In 74 days, President Barack Obama will assume responsibility for guiding the nation out of two wars and through a daunting array of real and potential global crises. Obama is likely to benefit from initial goodwill across much of the planet, where there's profound relief that the Bush years are ending. President Bush himself has taken steps, such as outreach to Iran and Syria , in his waning months that could provide Obama with diplomatic opportunities. But still, Obama faces many troubles to what might be the worst economy since the Great Depression in 1930’s.
Iraq, where Obama has promised to withdraw U.S. troops by summer 2010, is less violent, but far from stable or self-reliant because Al Qaida and the Taliban have grown stronger and now control parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan's tribal areas. Neither sanctions have halted Iran's nuclear development.
Obama has pledged to remove U.S. troops from Iraq in 16 months after taking office and to increase U.S. forces in Afghanistan . Whether he can meet that deadline remains to be seen, and the future of the U.S. troop presence is caught up in an agreement Bush is negotiating with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki that's been delayed repeatedly.
If history is a guide, Obama will face early tests from abroad as president, either from leaders seeking to gauge his mettle, or from surprise events. So please, don’t expect change immediately. Obama is a stepping stone for change. Hopefully he will be reelected because it is going to take at least one term for us to even see “change”.

As we made history by electing our first African-American President, Proposition 8 passed. The election results come as a bittersweet victory for many as said proposition aims to eliminate gay marriage. Many wonder why, in a supposed liberal, equality-supporting state such as California, this prop was backed heavily.
There was a time when blacks couldn't even marry whites. It was deemed a felony just mere decades ago using the same scare-tactics displayed today; portraying it as some "abnormal", "detrimental" action among other mindless fodder spewed in campaign ads.
So here's a question: why eliminate someone's right to offically commit to their loved one? Religion? Homophobia? For those who voted Yes...why?
*If you were disappointed by the intolerance that many people still seem to possess in California, please sign the petition.
