Choose Your Artist- Ron Isley vs Charlie Wilson

As a youth my uncle, the late Marvin Hawkins, would foster my love of reading and basketball by giving me his collection of a little known magazine named Basketball Digest. The book contained great articles, stats, and previews of NBA teams and players. My favorite segment of the magazine however was titled "One on One". The segment compared NBA players past or present against each other. It took the talks from barbershops, cookouts, and old men playing chess and provided a grading system to validate naming one player over the other. Today, we take this great concept and transfer it to the world of music. In this new segment "Choose Your Artist", artists from various eras are pitted against their peers, their new age renditions, and even themselves to determine who music stars are the best of the best!  Throughout the 70s and 80s, The Isley Brothers and Gap Band lavished us with incredible music. Songs like "That Lady (Part 1)", "Summer Breeze...

The Nice Guy Rules

"Nice guys finish last." What a hogwash statement. Seriously; it's baloney, maybe even pastrami. Through entertainment, business, and romance, the belief is that a man with etiquette and morals is one with diseases, like the measles or swine flu. When you turn on your television or read your news...kindle, you witness arrogant, womanizing egomaniacs praised as charismatic men with undeniable "swagger". Men who are interested in helping others and making people enjoy themselves are undervalued. The result is young men trying too hard. These men, known as "Nice Guys", are seen as sweet people who are great to know and make you laugh, but are OFTEN over looked for men who...use less effort to receive approval. As a teen and in my early college years, I played into this. It's such a weird feeling; you become enamored with doing right by people, as if it determines whether people will like you. Half the time, if you are "too" nice, peo...

Ooh Yeah! Channeling Your Inner R&B Singer

When I retire from the television and film industry, I've decided to record an album as an R&B artist. Initially my plan was to form a group with Devyn and Garvin. We would kill "em", but I've seen every episode of Unsung and I don't want us to go out like The Temptations or Five Heartbeats. My aspirations may seem outlandish, but those familiar with the powers of rizzle and bizzle (rhythm and blues) understand the benefit of exercising your musical talent. History shows that there is a long standing intimate connection between women and singers. From Ron Isley to R. Kelly, Otis Redding to Omarion ( "Touch" O, not Maybach O), Rhythm and Blues crooners leave a special effect on the ladies, one CGI can't replicate.  As a young buck, wet behind the ears and seeking...the ladies, this fact did not sneak past me.  Let's not forget that my moniker "Ceddy P" is derived from the original drawers dropper, Teddy Pendergrass . In my brie...
