Reality Television: Good Or Bad For Society

   In my opinion, most of the shows that are being churned out by the entertainment networks are having a detrimental affect on the youth of America and other countries. From shows like Teen Mom, that give young mothers incentives and rewards for their bad judgment, to shows like Jersey Shore which glorify stupidity and alcoholism with an unabashedness that is quite alarming.
  Other shows like the Real Houswives franchise encourage otherwise unnoteworthy, to bicker and fight to their hearts content. This gives a bad representation and reputation to certain groups and cements into people's minds certain harmful stereotypes.
    On the plus side, there are some reality shows aimed at uplifting its viewers. Some that I would recommend are those aimed at finding great artists and TI's new family oriented series TI and Tiny: A Family Hustle. It might be hard to wade through the filth and grime that is reality television, but you may be rewarded for your troubles with a true diamond in the rough.

New Season Of Tosh.0 Starting In Days

    If you haven't been living under a rock for the last 2 years, you havd probably heard of the very popular comedian Daniel Tosh. From his tours and specials including Happy Thoughts, to his comedy show Tosh.0, this comedian has seemed to find his niche. The best description that I could give of Daniel's style is insult comedy mixed with observational humor. He has become very popular through the use of social networking sites like twitter and facebook and video sites like hulu, YouTube, and other such sites. I would definitely rate the show a 9/10 for hilariousness. I am very excited for the new season.

When Will Dr Dre Release Detox?

So if you are a fan of Dr Dre like I am, you know that the Detox album was supposed to have been released 10 years ago. I am really hoping that Dre will take a second from promoting his headphones and other such items and get back in the studio.
Tracks that were supposedly off of the album were leaked causing Dre to feel the need to put a stop to the production and completion of his album.
I am rooting for Dr. Dre to complete his album. Stranger things have happened.

Kevin Hart: Laugh At My Pain

   This hour long stand up comedy special was recently made available to the public and is sure to be filled with an array of behind the scenes footage.
   The keys to Kevin Hart's success are two things; his ability to remain humble even during his recent triumphs and also his work ethic. The movie begins with him in a huddle with his team chanting " everybody wanna be famous, don't nobody wanna do the work."
    This was an impressively hilarious special from this rising star. He talked about several deeply personal topics including dealing with his mothers passing and humorous situations involving his father. After watching the special its hard not to say "you gon learn today".

Kid Ink: Wheels Up

Has anyone heard of this artist? He is on the rise right now. He has an album out now called 'Wheels Up' and after listening to the entire album I must say that I am definitely becoming more and more of a fan. He has a sound that reminds me of several artists including Kid Cudi, Wiz Kalifa and Lil Wayne. Artists including Tyga and other similar emcees made guest appearances on this very high energy album. Some memorable tracks include 'No Sticks No Seeds' and 'Stop'. I hope to see more hjts and buzz for this talented artist in the near future.
