Kane is by far one of the most requested MC’s people always suggest, no demand, we cover. And we couldn’t be more thrilled that Kane blessed us with an interview.
We initially planned to talk to Kane about recording his classic 1988 debut, “Long Live The Kane” but it quickly dawned on me that we should make the most of our time with Kane, so instead of setting up a future interview to discuss his other classic album “It’s a Big Daddy Thing”, let’s just knock it all out at once.

February 11, 2010 While Marc Jacobs announced he no longer cares for celebrities at his fashion shows, over at the BCBG Max Azria show yesterday it was business as usual with PYTs like Keke Palmer and Michelle Williams sitting in the front row surrounded by photographers snapping away. Max Azria, along with his wife Lubov, knows what young, contemporary gals with busy social calendars want to wear.

While there may be an endless supply of pretty faces decked out, with the help of stylists, in head-to-toe au courant, designer pieces making the red carpet and party rounds, to catch our eye here at ESSENCE.com, one must approach fashion with a truly individualistic approach, have savvy personal style, be adept at interpreting trends to make them her own, have an understanding of what looks good on her frame and, by all means, she must possess impeccable taste.

“One thing about the music industry it’s two different realms. I love the music, I hate the industry. If I would have listened to the industry, I would have not believed in myself.” -Cormega
Listening to Cormega talking about the complex relationship between commerce and art, you can’t help but wonder about the nameless artists who weren’t as fortunate as he was when it came to standing behind their work in the face of outside pressures.

Not too long ago, fashion editors regarded fashion blogs, with their real people and street style, as the hobby of a handful of overzealous, amateur fans. Today the fashion blogosphere’s littered with individuals sharing their passion for style, from their own daily outfits to photographing other well-dressed pedestrians. And the perks that come to the web’s fortunate shinning talents are impressive: front-row seats at fashion shows, free samples, modeling contracts, design, styling, and photography contracts with established retailers, book deals, and editorial work.

Shattering Hollywood taboos is nothing new for Drew Barrymore. After 29 years in the business, she continues to challenge the industry’s standards and herself; this time by stepping behind the camera to direct her first feature film starring Academy Award nominee Ellen Page. Set against the backdrop of the unorthodox, bad-ass world of all female roller derby, ‘Whip It!’

In the soundtrack to the movie of my life, the college years, Jeru the Damaja’s The Sun Rises in the East would undoubtedly make the cut. For the start of my freshman year, this CD (remember those?) was in constant rotation swallowing my closet-sized dorm room whole with unadulterated, gritty New York hip-hop. It was just what the doctor ordered for a home sick, shy freshman from New York who spent much of her first month at school in her room blasting music to the dismay of my hall roomies who gravitated more towards the local DC sound of Go-Go music.

When Brand Nubian’s debut One For All was released in 1990, post civil-rights, young African-Americans were in the midst of a re-awakening of Black pride and social consciousness, and Hip-hop, especially on the East coast, was the vehicle in articulating this new energy. Few MCs at the time encompassed the frustration, anger, righteousness and joy of being young and Black in the 1990’s in an America awash in racial tension like New Rochelle, New York’s Grand Puba, Sadat X and Lord Jamar on the visceral One For All.
