Nile Evans decided to pursue his longtime career goal of becoming a television writer/producer after attending Menlo College in Atherton, California in 1995.  He called on a valuable resource within his family, Executive Producer Bentley Kyle Evans, who hired him as a production assistant. Soon after, Bentley took him under his wing as a writers' apprentice on the hit television series, The Jamie Foxx Show. In the show's third season, Nile's knack for comedy was proven when he was asked to join the writing staff as an on-set punch-up writer. In between seasons, Nile worked with writing crews for various A-list comedians including Jamie Foxx, Martin Lawrence, and then rising star Nick Cannon. Nile's relationship with Nick led him to help Nick develop his first talk show pilot for Nickelodeon. In 2004, the duo penned a film together that sold to Overbrook Entertainment.  Their creative synergy solidified as Nile worked with Nick to produce the pilot for MTV's Wild'n Out. The hit series helped launch the careers of Taran Killam and Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live), as well as comedy and film stars Katt Williams and Kevin Hart. Nile and Nick have continued to work together co-writing the TV movie The Wonder Girls (Nickelodeon), which rated phenomenally, and most recently, the film School Dance (Lionsgate).In 2007, Nile helped develop a spinoff sketch show called Short Circuitz for MTV, and a pilot for reality-producing giant 51 Minds. Nile parlayed his relationship with the production company to produce his own reality series starring music artist Ray-J, For The Love of Ray-J. Since then, Nile has served as writer/producer on Love That Girl (TV One), Family Time (Bounce TV), In The Cut (Bounce TV), and Mind of a Man (GSN).Beats by Dre tapped Nile to write for their Beats Pill campaign in 2013, where he developed new ways for the company to launch their advertising cartoon mascots. Yearly, Nile serves as presenter and host writer for the BET Awards and BET Hip Hop Awards, writing for talents such as Sam Jackson, Chris Tucker, Kevin Hart, Mike Epps, Snoop Dogg, and Chris Rock.  Nile has continued to develop his relationship with MTV, extending himself to their sister network, MTV2, where he worked as Supervising Producer on Hip Hop Squares, and currently heads Wild'n Out as the executive producer/showrunner. The relaunched series holds the record as the highest-rated show in the network's history.

Farrakhan replaced Malcom X as the minister at the Boston Temple.   66.    Malcolm X was assassinated on 21 February 1965 and Farrakhan profited from it as he was appointed to two prominent positions in NOI. (@32)   67.    He was appointed to the chair of the minister of the influential Harlem Mosque in 1965, a position which he held until 1975. Furthermore, he became the national spokesman and representative of NOI and served in this position until Elijah Muhammad’s death in 1975.   68.    In 1975, the Nation's leadership chose Wallace Muhammad, also known as Warith Deen Mohammad, the fifth of Elijah Muhammad's sons, not Farrakhan, as the new Supreme Minister.   69.    Though Farrakhan remained a loyalist of the Muhammad clan for some time, in 1977 he withdrew his support from the organization and rebuilt the original ‘Nation of Islam’ which had been established by its founders.   70.    Soon after its foundation, he started a weekly newspaper by the name ‘The Final Call, Inc.’ The objective of this initiation was to communicate his views and thoughts to the supporters and members.   71.    Two years later, along with his supporters, he organized the first ‘Saviours’ Day’ convention in Chicago. His group promised to walk by the principles of Elijah Muhammad.   72.    Throughout his leadership, he blamed the Jewish community and other ethnic and racial groups for the sufferings endured by African Americans.   73.    In October of 1995, he planned a broad coalition, intending to assemble about one million men in Washington DC for the ‘Million Man March.’   74.    At the convention, he was the keynote speaker along with distinguished African American intellectuals, such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King III, Cornel West, Jesse Jackson, and Benjamin Chavis.   75.    Question: Who else could pull this off today?

Both her parents, James and Gayle Watkins, were musicians and singers.   126.    Her parents divorced when she was three years old. Thereafter, she was raised by her mother, who taught her to be “confident and independent”. At the age of nine, they moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where her maternal grandmother used to live.   127.    As a child, she was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia (SCA), as a result of which, she had to spend a lot of time in hospitals.   128.    As a teenager, she began working as a hair model, eventually serving as a manicurist and shampoo girl at a popular Atlanta hair salon.   129.    In 1990, (@20) Tionne Watkins heard that a teenager named Crystal Clear was planning to open an all-girls group like Bell Biv DeVoe, having a tomboyish, hip-hop image. Eventually, she appeared for an audition and joined the three-member band, the third one being Lisa Lopes.   130.    Calling themselves ‘2nd Nature’, they soon started working with Jermaine Dupri and Rico Wade on demo tape material.   131.    Meanwhile, Watkins met Perri "Pebbles" Reid, the owner of the management and production company, Pebbitone, and managed to arrange an audition with her.   132.    Impressed by the girls, Reid arranged an audition with the local record label, LaFace Records, co-founded by her then husband Antonio Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmund. She also changed the group’s name to TLC with ‘T’ representing Tionne, ‘L’ Lisa, and ‘C’ Crystal.   133.    Although Antonio Reid was impressed by Watkins and Lopes, he did not approve of Clear, who was eventually replaced by Rozonda Thomas in April 1991. Very soon, Watkins became "T-Boz", Lopes became "Left-Eye", and Thomas became "Chilli”, so that ‘TLC’ continued to be the acronym of their names.   134.    Their debut album, 'Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip' was released on February 25, 1992, by LaFace Records. It peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200, selling six million copies worldwide, and was certified quadruple platinum RIAA.   135.    'Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip' scored three top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Baby-Baby-Baby’ peaking at number two, ‘Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg’ at number six and ‘What About Your Friends’ at number seven. Moreover, ‘Baby-Baby-Baby’ also peaked at number one at Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.   136.    In 1993, the group started working on their second album, ‘CrazySexyCool’. But because of Lisa’s personal problems, it took time to complete and was ultimately released on September 15, 1994.   137.    Certified Diamond, the album was a huge success, peaking at the 3rd position on the US Billboard 200. It sold over 11 million copies in the United States alone. The album was nominated for six Grammy Awards, out of which it won two and helped TLC to become the second-best selling girl group of all time.   138.    Billboard named them the ‘Artist of the Year’ at the Billboard Music Awards. The album also appeared on Rolling Stone Magazine’s ’500 Greatest Albums of All Time’.   139.    Despite the success, TLC was forced to file for bankruptcy because of poor contracts they had signed in 1991. Eventually, the group signed a new contract with the same company and went back to work.   140.    Rozonda Ocelian Thomas (@24) was born on 27th February 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia to Abdul Ali and Ava Thomas. Her mother is of African American as well as Native American descent, while her father is of East Indian and Middle Eastern Background. She was raised by a single mother and did not meet her father until she was 25.   141.    Thomas studied at Benjamin E. Mays High School, from where she graduated in 1989. Soon she started working as a back-up dancer for the R&B group Damian Dame.   142.    In 1991, (@20) Rozonda Thomas joined the pop group TLC.   143.    Lisa Nicole Lopes (@24) was born on May 27, 1971, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her father was Ronald Lopes Sr., a staff sergeant in the US Army, and her mother was Wanda Denise, a seamstress. She was of Cape Verdean, Mexican, American, African and Portuguese descent. She was the eldest of three siblings. Her parents divorced when she was in school. Following this, she was raised by her paternal grandmother.   144.    At the age of five, she began playing the piano and eventually started composing songs over the next few years. She studied at the Philadelphia School for Girls.   145.    In late 1990, having heard of an open casting call for a new girl group through her then-boyfriend, Lopes moved to Atlanta to audition.   146.    Lopes’ personal life, though, was marred by her rocky relationship with football great Andre Rison, and in 1994, she was arrested for burning down his home.   147.    In 2000, she began her solo-project ‘Supernova’ which was set to be released in August 2001. However, the date was postponed repeatedly. It was eventually broadcast over the internet in 2002. The album was yet to be released formally and a fourth TLC project was in the making, when Lopes met with a tragic car accident in 2002 which unfortunately put an end to her life.  she was just 30 years old.   148.    Question: Is the WAP controversy justified?   149.    Movie Scene: Friday 1995 film   150.    (Links and Resources: Strong Black Legends: John Witherspoon; "John Witherspoon's Style of Comedy was Timeless," Justin Tinsley, The Undefeated; Gene Siskel's review, Chicago Tribune; Desson Howe's review, Washington Post; "After 20 Years, Friday Is (Still) The Most Important Film Ever Made About The Hood," Kelley L.

Colorful characters abound, but nothing ties them together. I knew the picture was in trouble when its first gag involved an old lady spewing obscenities. (Rating: 1 star)   153.    By Desson Howe, Washington Post Staff Writer - April 28, 1995: "Friday," a comedy starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker, is dirty, offensive, infantile and may launch a few sanctimonious opinion columns. And I mean that in the nicest way. The movie, which shamelessly hawks its own "Friday" music video at the beginning and eschews political correctness whenever possible, happens to be incredibly funny.   154.    After 20 Years, “Friday” Is (Still) The Most Important Film Ever Made About The Hood: - Kelley L. Carter, BuzzFeed News Reporter. Posted April 20, 2015.   155.    “...Todd Boyd, a professor at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts as well as screenwriter and producer of the 1999 coming-of-age drama The Wood, says that Friday didn't just add an element of comedy to depictions of everyday life in black neighborhoods, it spawned a new genre — the hood comedy.   156.    “The film demonstrated that black life was not all drugs, violence, dysfunction, and pathology — yet instead of offering a Cosby Show-like fantasy, Friday put these issues in context, finding humor in the everyday lives of regular black people,” he explains. “Since the 1970s, Hollywood has always looked favorably upon low-budget black films that produce high profit margins at the box office. Friday expanded the representation of the hood into the realm of comedy and achieved box office success at the same time.” 157.    Other hood comedies that followed include: 1996’s satire Don’t Be a Menace While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, 1998’s The Player’s Club (Cube wrote and directed it), 2001’s How High, and 2002’s Barbershop, the latter of which Cube starred in.   158.    Question: Friday or Carwash? - Chris Tucker or Mike Epps?   159.    TV Scene   160.    “Was UPN Black America’s Last Hope for a Black Sitcom-Friendly Broadcast Television Network?” April 20, 2017 - https://shadowandact.com   161.    “...Since ABC’s "Black-ish" debuted this fall, it has drawn numerous comparisons to "The Cosby Show" — and I have questions. I wonder why the majority of essays and critiques jumped to a show that has been off-air for 22 years. Although few television shows rivaled the mainstream popularity of Bill Cosby’s chef d’oeuvre, plenty of Black sitcoms have filled its gap since its 1992 finale. Does no one remember the quasi-Black glory of United Paramount Network (UPN)? And can there ever be another like it?   162.    From 1995 to 2006 UPN was the home for over 10 concurrently running Black sitcoms (and a handful of dramas). Given the sheer volume of programming, that’s remarkable in and of itself. But perhaps what is more noteworthy than the number of shows is the range of Black life they displayed.   163.    "All of Us," produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment, centered on a blended family of two divorced spouses and their significant others. The Essence Atkins and Rachel True-helmed "Half & Half" explored the relationship between two estranged half-sisters. "Moesha" was UPN’s most successful sitcom during its five-year run and introduced America to another beloved, nuclear Black family besides the Huxtables. Other notable UPN sitcoms included "One on One," "The Parkers," "Eve," and "Malcolm & Eddie."   164.    UPN actively sought programming aimed for Black audiences at a time when Black mainstays from the Big Three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were waning. "Family Matters" was cancelled from ABC’s coveted TGIF lineup in 1998. Fox declined to extend Martin Lawrence’s eponymously named sitcom the previous year. The major networks were beginning to narrow their viewership to exclude all-Black casting on their sitcoms. Not only were Black actors finding work on shows sold to UPN, but established Black producer-writers like Eunetta T. Boone and Ralph Farquhar found a home as well.   165.    Despite—and maybe because of—its friendliness to Black programming, UPN suffered from a reputation as a sub-par network. The ratings for their sitcoms often scraped the bottom of the Nielsen barrel. UPN is remembered more for its utter failures ("Homeboys in Outer Space") and ignored when we fondly recall the glory of "Girlfriends."   166.    “UPN took the rejects. UPN was 'the Black channel,'” we joke. UPN may not have been perfect, but it gave Black audiences so much to choose from without feeling as if one show had to represent the totality of Blackness.   167.    Accordingly, "Black-ish" has a lot riding on its success. Black audiences tune in hoping big wigs take notice and order more Black sitcoms. But it is telling that major networks began a “blackout” of successful Black cast shows in the late 90s and The CW essentially did the same a decade later.   168.    "Black-ish" could be the start of another heyday for Black sitcoms. We reach backward to "The Cosby Show" because we love it best and we always will. But in doing so, we ignore the stable of Black shows that kept us laughing long after The Huxtables faded to black. However, the success of "Black-ish" will remain singular until executives reexamine their beliefs about African American audiences; we need them, like UPN once did, to give us a chance. I just hope it doesn’t take another decade.   169.    Other Notable UPN Shows: Everybody Hates Chris 2005 / Girlfriends 2000 / All of Us 2003 / Moesha 1996 / The Parkers 1999 / Malcolm and Eddie 1996 / In The House 1995 / Between Brothers 1997 /   170.    Other Notable WB Shows: The WB The Wayans Brothers 1995 / The Parent 'Hood 1995 / Steve Harvey Show 1996 / The Jamie Foxx Show 1996 / Smart Guy 1997 / MIB Animated 1997 / The PJs 1999   171.    Question: What the hell is wrong with BET?   172.    Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1995?

EP37 - Writing Your Own Journey with Ryan Parrott Ryan Parrott is a prolific Writer.  He has written TV Shows like Chance and Revolution, award-winning short films that have shown at Cannes.  His pilot “Second Self” was just optioned by Sony and OverBrook Entertainment.  He has also written New York Times' Best-Seller, Batman: Gates of Gotham Comic Book Series, IDW's StarTrek Comic Book Series, Boom's Go Go Power Rangers Comic Book Series and in August his Owner-Created Comic Book Volition, with AfterShock Comics, will be released.   And yes, Ryan is a writer but more than that he is persistence, passion, drive, heart and creative genius.  I've known Ryan for roughly 15 years.  In our early 20's we were introduced and soon become good friends and roommates.  Ryan's road to success wasn't easy, simple or given to him.  Ryan has written and practiced his craft tirelessly.  His journey to writer didn't go as planned.  He went from intern to Man-ny, to J.J. Abrams assistant at Bad Robot, finally breaking into the writer's room as a writer's assistant.  He then moved on to T.V. shows, movies and writing a handful of comic books. Ryan's story is truly an example of relentlessly following your passion, and that thing you love, even when it seems impossible and embracing the journey so you eventually reach your goal.    Ryan and I discuss: -The journey and how it doesn't ever look how we expect, how it's often impractical and doesn't make sense.  Yet if you keep going you can get there.   -Goals are the plans of dreams and if you keep going forward you will figure out the “how” along the way.  -What makes us stop in pursuit of our goals, how we all have things that stop us from moving forward.   -“The Hunger” that thing that pushes you forward toward your greatness and your goals.   -The myths we craft as a society around artists and the creative work they produce.   -How building a ladder of success by surrounding yourself with others that are pursuing their journey and their goals will actually support you in achieving yours.   Thanks for listening.

EL PRINCIPE DEL RAP PODRIA REGRESAR A LAS PANTALLAS La serie de televisión El príncipe del Rap, podría volver a las pantallas con una adaptación en la que participaría su protagonista, Will Smith. De acuerdo a lo informado por el portal TVLine, el proyecto ya se encuentra en sus inicios y a cargo de Overbrook Entertainment, productora del actor. El portal aseguró que la serie sería una continuación de la serie, pero con los actores tal y como lucen en la actualidad. El seriado se estrenó en el año de 1990 en la cadena NBC cuando Will Smith daba sus primeros pasos en la actuación. Desde entonces recibió una gran respuesta del público tras durar seis temporadas al aire y venderse en más de 20 países, incluido Venezuela.

ESCUCHEMOS EL ESTRENO DE Gente De Zona y Marc Anthony - La Gozadera EN ROSITA AL MEDIODIA El Plan de Guerra de Angelina En un nuevo trabajo como productora, Angelina Jolie se asoció con el estudio de animación Cartoon Saloon para la adaptación al cine de la novela "The Breadwinner" ("El Pan de la Guerra"), sobre la historia de una niña afgana escrita por la canadiense Deborah Ellis. El filme relatará la historia de Parvana, una chica afgana de 11 años que durante el gobierno de los talibanes debe hacerse pasar por un chico para así alimentar a su familia en Kabul, tras la detención y encarcelamiento de su padre. En un comunicado, Angelina Jolie explica las razones de su participación en el proyecto: "Hay millones de niñas como Parvana que crecen bajo la opresión o en medio de conflictos, obligadas a ayudar a sus familias a sobrevivir en esas condiciones". La actriz, muy comprometida con causas humanitarias, se muestra además "muy contenta de poder trabajar con un equipo de artistas con talento" que está segura que "hará justicia a la riqueza, la creatividad y la fuerza de la cultura afgana y a las chicas como Parvana". Actualmente en fase de preproducción, "The Breadwinner" se estrenará en 2017. De su realización se encargará Nora Twomey ("The Secret of Kells" o "From Darkness") mientras que Deborah Ellis participará en el proyecto como coguionista, junto a Anita Doron ("The Lesser Blessed"). En la investigación previa para escribir el libro, Ellis pasó varios meses entrevistando a mujeres y niñas en los campamentos de refugiados en Pakistán y Rusia. Inspirada en esas conversaciones, la novela se editó en 2005 y cosechó múltiples premios, entre ellos el Peter Pan Prize y el Middle East Book Award. El filme se rodará en inglés y en dari, una de las variantes del persa y lengua oficial de Afganistán. ESCUCHEMOS EL EXITO DE Jencarlos Canela y . J.
