Warsan Shire is a Kenyan-born Somali poet and writer who is based in London. I discovered her poetry via Twitter and have probably favorited every tweet she posted since I began to follow her. Her words on love are perfect, they illustrate every thought, emotion and act. I always thought if she collected every tweet into a book I’d buy it. While her tweets haven’t been published her poetry has in her first book “Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth”

Common gets PROFILE’d.
The Dreamer/The Believer is available now!
I love this video for various reasons. 1) El chamaquito B.B. Bronx steals all 9 minutes and 40 seconds with his witty one-liners and ranking skills. 2) They created an actual cipher… IN THE RAIN! 3) They’re beat-boxing! A hip-hop art form that’s been reduced to only being heard before Justin Beiber or Timberlake spit a rhyme. 4) B.B. Bronx shames Manin, who seems to be the neighborhood cipher King. 5) When an old timer asks why they have to bring up each other’s mothers in the rhyme B.B. Bronx responds in a rap “miento tu madre o miento a mi abuela” = “I lie on your mother or lie on my grandmother”

Iconoclasts presented by The Sundance Channel X Grey Goose Ent. was an intimate TV series that revealed a fresh perspective on celebrities and the company they keep. It isn’t often we see camaraderie celebrated in the entertainment business so this series was game-changing. My favorite episode featured Fiona Apple and Quentin Taratino. While at first glance they may seem like an unlikely pair they both carry reputations for being socially awkward and revered for their artistic genius. Words of wisdom are trivially tossed and blurted out and both creatives give an inside look to what inspires their work.

One of the perks of following comedians on Twitter is you get to know their calendar of events before the rest of the city is informed. Last week @HannibalBuress tweeted he will be giving his fans free tickets to an upcoming show. That show turned out to be his first Comedy Central Special at The Gramercy Theatre. While I got the worst seats in the house (first row in the stadium seats directly behind the tech guys) Buress made up for it with his quick-witted, overly logical, and sonically lackadaisical comedic routine. If you’re not up on Buress check out his TV debut on Letterman below.

A few weeks back I went out to Sneaker Pimps to soak in “The Kendrick Lamar Experience”. After the show he sat down to get PROFILE’d.
Last night I finally checked out “The Skin I Live In” and was completely taken by the musical feature Pedro Almodóvar decided on for the film, Concha Buika, a Spanish singer who fuses flamenco and coplas with soul and jazz. Her performance in the film left me mesmerized with her sound and curious to hear more. I tried to find words to describe her voice but Almodóvar defines it best saying “Buika belongs to a lineage of artists that is found very rarely. Her voice has an unusual color and a very wide tessitura, gifted for the most intimate caress and for the deafening shriek. Buika only knows how to sing ‘with her heart ripped apart.’ So young, she makes me tremble because she gives the impression that each performance is the definitive one, the last one.” Listen + Download HERE.
