Boog Avery takes a different approach to her picks in light of her favorite rap album Illmatic.

Illmatic turns 20, and other rappers have yet to top this debut. Kendrick came close, but Nasty still captivates me with his voice. In time, K. Dot. Though I Am felt more definitive in his street intellect, Nas has been the best emcee of all time to tell hood stories so prolifically. Here are some of my picks of Nas' definitive rhymes from the all-time classic.

I am still perplexed by how Nas in "NY State of Mind" said "I don't know how to start this..." but starts spitting my favorite opening of rap's history:

Rappers I monkey-flip them with the funky rhythm I be kicking.
Musician
inflicting composition
of pain.
I'm like Scarface sniffing cocaine
Holding an M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme.

It was not only a continuation of his extreme and machismo bars from "Live At The BBQ," but an ill illustration of how much his mind can expand in just a fe ...READ MORE

BLOG_SUMMARY_END Author Cherylrese Barconia-Henry captivates the mind of not just women, but allows men to sensitize themselves to the passion that ordinary women experience through the pain that life undoubtedly brings and the testimonies that flow from the forgiveness of God and themselves. Broken Vessels isBarconia's third book. Author Barconia shares with Jump Start Your day how "society has women competing with each other, and not able to sensitize with one another because of the common denominator consisting of pain from the past or obstacles of the present hindering forgiveness. Freedom will come through forgiveness. Women can be healed from their past hurt, overcome obstacles and live with purpose. As women we conceal and or mask pain of the woman we have become, discouraging the woman we were destined to be." 
Author Cherylrese Barconia-Henry has also penned 'Peace in a World of Thunder,' and 'The Handmaiden.'

Tracy Morgan: Bona Fide

Get More: Watch More Stand-Up.

In a phone interview, actor/comedian Tracy Morgan tells UPROXX about the folks who influenced his style of comedy (from his dad and uncles to Bill Cosby and George Carlin). He goes on to talk about his current moves: missed out on getting to replace Letterman on 'Late Night' but Rio and Rio 2...hard work, nice checks! And 'school lunch' with President Obama? It's kind of funny to think about; but something to thin ...READ MORE

In everything we do...dance, sing, act, write...there will always come a time when frustration will rear its ugly head. The key to EFFECTIVE performance ministry is PERSEVERANCE.

Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (The Living Bible)
24 Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
