“How do we talk about Kanye West?” Jeen-Yuhs is not asking us to dissect Kanye West’s actions that make him a larger-than-life presence in the zeitgeist. If it did, we’d finally understand that his comments about being a GOD spoke to his inflated ego stemming from influencing and repurposing past trends like shutter shades. It’s asking to go on this journey with Clarence “Coodie” Simmons as he witnesses Kanye’s highs and lows – it asks us to…

Lucy and Desi 2022
Echoing the words of Clayton Echard from The Bachelor, "I Feel So Broken."
My access to television was scarce as a kid. I've hit many anger points, and oddly, my father only kept channels showing reruns of classic 90s Disney cartoon series like Goof Troop. One of these channels was an ever-growing that kept that flow of 50s, 60s, and 70s sitcoms in rotation. I Love Lucy was one of those shows, and Desi Arnaz was one of my first…

I remember vibin' with Slaughter for its crazy shootouts and significantly funky score that rides with us through many scenes, like the wild 3vs1 knife fight on the roof or at the betrayal. It adds tension to this smooth revenge flick which…

The Batman 2022
This was just the tip of the iceberg. But when I saw Batman pullin' up in Timbs and Timbs adjacent feet wear, I knew this was my BATMAN.

Kanye With Special Guest Drake Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert 2021
We say we miss the old Kanye, but he has never left. I've never felt such a whirlwind experience as Kanye performed the backlog as fantastic as he could. He hits the wall, but at the same time, we are thankful to witness this. Thank you, Kanye. I wish I could give this a perfect score, but that Drake set was no bueno.
