"Poisonous is my arrow. When you swing your blade, you're gonna hit my shadow..." -Vast Aire

Denzel Washington is: "THE NIGGA THEY COULDN'T KILL!!!!"

A few days ago, my fellow art dude and GhettoManga contributor Oladele Barr shared the video below where the mighty Denzel Washington talks about a crazy racist movie role he had pitched at him early in his career, and his response, which is quite hilarious...

Check out the preview for this Culture Clash Western comic SKYBREAKER from @IDWPublishing

It's been a while since I read a good Western comic. This Culture Clash Western comic Skybreaker from IDW looks right up my alley...

A nice MF DOOM radio interview, plus... Is this dude in the UK passing my art off as his own?

My dude Khalid Latif aka BigSteelo aka Worldwide McBride aka Singabore Rhymes with Zsa Zsa Gabor posted this MF DOOM interview below, and I decided to share it. So as I was searching for a DOOM picture to include with this post, I found a pic where some dude swiped my drawing (above) and colored it (badly) and is passing it off as his own... even selling prints of it.
Peep...

#KickstartThis dope science hero action comic "STRONGHOLD: HOPE IS NOT YET LOST"

I get a lot of "help me spread the word about my Kickstarter campaign" emails. A LOT of them! Even though many of them are very cool, I don't have time to post about them here, so a facebook drop or Tweet is about all the help I can muster. However, STRONGHOLD by Kevin Roberts and Brian Visaggio is SO dope that I just HAD to post a preview here on GhettoManga...

the Brand New Old School Video Show: GOLD TIPS by Playdough & DJ Sean P(atrick)

I can't stop listening to the classic Nas/Jay-Z collabo "Black Republican"...

I really ought to be asleep right now, but instead I'm blasting the holy hell out of that "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" anthem Black Republican by Nas and Jay-Z.

"Pops disappeared, nigga taught me magic. My idea of fun growing up was doing bad shit" -@iamStickyFingaz #WakeDaFucUp

Sigh... I just had a birthday a couple weeks ago, and according to the candle count, I'm way too old to be this excited about beatdown rap, but dammit this is ONYX! So, yeah...

"Like she can tell a cock tale better than molotav..." @PharoaheMonch lol

The homie Salem Psalms (Amond Jackson if you nasty) dropped this video he directed for the mighty Pharoahe Monch and the venerable Diamond D a couple days ago, but I just saw it now, cause I been busy drawing stuff for money. Peep...

Hell. Yes...

You know what it is...

#nowPlaying "Rappers got stylists cause they can't think for themselves. See they don't have an identity so they needed some help" -Tyler

To my fellow old-head hip hoppers: Please stop all that "rappers today can't rhyme" isht. It's embarrassing.

There's always room for GREEN LANTERN CORPS...

"I'm as dope as the era they introduced the needle, you're an Optimus Prime versus this Magneto" -Joey the Bull

Dallas rap dude Joey the Bull dropped this posse cut Make Way by Flotation (featuring Fever, Joey The Bull and Molekular, with cuts by Tape Mastah Steph) on the GhettoManga Facebook wall a few days ago, but I just got around to listening to it today. The short version: It's dope. Stream and/or download it below.

Preview art- ALL NEW GHOST RIDER #1 & 2!!!

Peep some previews of Tradd Moore's pages (plus variant covers by Felipe Smith, Skottie Young, and more) below and make up your own mind...

peep some SWEET Olivier Coipel cover art to "SURVIVE #1", plus variant cover and interior sequentials by Joe Quinones

If I win the lottery, I will buy Marvel and then force Olivier Coipel to draw all the books. Don't worry, with my unlimited lottery cash, I will change the laws of spacetime so he doesn't have to rush. Anyways, until then, here's a cover he drew to the Ultimate Comics book Survive #1. I likes it...

This Sesame Street sync video of Marley Marl's "The Symphony" had me MESSED! UP!

Yo... Kermit freakin' BODIED the track, son!!!

What are your thoughts on Felipe Smiith and Tradd Moore's ALL NEW GHOST RIDER designs?

Here's a shiteload of pre-production art for Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore's upcoming All New Ghost Rider comic. Besides the fact that his civilian persona Robbie Reyes is obviously based on my west-coast homie and GhettoManga contributor Eric M. Esquivel (Blackest Terror, Thor:Unkillable Thunderchrist, FREELANCERS, Loki: Ragnarok and Roll), what do you think of the direction the latest incarnation of Marvel's revanent road warrior?
