Urban Classics

Blockbuster, Netflix...stop lining up at my door. I get it, your in the market for an new section label and the first person you thought of was me. I've been saying this for years. The people want an urban classics section. Just imagine it in bright lights...(blue & yellow or red & white)...URBAN CLASSICS...

Just picture it...its Wednesday night, your considering an outing on the town but your not really sold. The handful of people you really give a shit about are in a similar boat but could be swayed in either direction. Your thinking a movie but you don't want an adventure or something you've never seen because that can turn into a disaster. And that would be a surprise that nobody signed up for. You want a sure thing. But then you think of the energy it takes to find a sure thing...in the store, on line, live streaming strait to your computer.

thats where I come in. URBAN CLASSICS...all classics included!

Your choices look like this...

House Party (1 - infiniti)...BAPS...The Wood...Friday (1 - infiniti)...Brown Sugar...The Gospel...Boyz in the Hood...Sister Act 2...Love Jones...Poetic Justice...Love & Basketball...Something New...Baby Boy...The Best Man...Soul Food...Waiting to Exhale...How Stella Got Her Groove Back...Major Payne...Booty Call...How to be a Player...He Got Game...The Brothers...Barbershop...High School High...

i mean can you really go wrong?

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance	5
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,	10
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:	15
I am the captain of my soul.

So you want to be a Writer

if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
typewriter
searching for words,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or
fame,
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don't do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody
else,
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.

if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.

don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don't add to that.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don't do it.

when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.
and there never was.
