Abolish the N-word: Julian Curry Speaks

We discovered this young man and his artistic talents while listening to a radio program yesterday. Michael Baisden, known as the "Bad Boy of Radio" has a controversial radio program heard across the nation. Baisden is known for discussing topics that range from "Should I Purchase a Motorcycle?" to calling for rappers and lyricists to provide more uplifiting material in their performances. During his most recent broadcast he spoke very highly of Julian Curry. Apparently Curry made an appearance on the Def Poetry television show last month.

Blaisden was unable to play an excerpt of Curry's poem about Black pride and history on his program because Curry uses the N-word in what on the face of it seems excessive.We visited Baisden's web site and found a forum wherein there is alink to a video recording capturing Curry's televsion performance.

Please note: there is a method to the artist's use of the word throughout the piece. It's kind of like the comedian Bernie Mac's explanation of how to use the term mother trucker, only better. Click here to see Julian Curry's performance.

We searched the Internet to get information about this talented young man. If you know anything about him, please comment. We want to know more. We think he is a skilled wordsmith. We wish him success!
