Black History Month
February is here and that means Black History month is upon us. We at Upperthinking take great pride in this month because we ourselves are African and we appreciate all the people of color, past and present, who represent positive significance and black excellence. So to show our appreciation, throughout the month we’re going to be posting spotlights on intersting black people who go under the radar. We already should know about the past’s Martin Luther King, Malcom X and the present’s Oprah and President Obama. Who does today’s spotlight rest on? Find out after the jump! (more…)

Manning, Luck Or RG3?
Since our beloved Tebow is out of the playoff picture, much of today’s NFL discussion has returned to which of the remaining teams will make it to the Superbowl. We on the other hand have been debating on another issue. 35 year-old, 4-time MVP, and future Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning is due to make a return next season after missing this whole season due to a neck injury. His absence is said to be the main reason the Colts had the worst record in the league this year….and the 1st overall pick in the draft. Stanford University’s prized “NFL ready” QB Andrew Luck has been praised all season long as a shoe-in to be drafted 1st overall. However, as of late, there has been another QB who’s stock value has risen on almost everyone’s draft board. That QB goes by the name of Robert “RG3″ Griffin III. He won the Heisman this year and carried Baylor’s football team to a bowl game championship victory. With the first pick in the draft, The Indianapolis Colts have a major franchise decision to make. Should they stay with they’re franchise Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning? Or should they move in a new direction with either the “NFL ready” Andrew Luck or the Heisman sensation Robert “RG3″ Griffin III? We want to know what you think!

Zo Black Da Rappa [Freestyles]
Alfonzo, also known as Zo Black (Da Rappa), is one of Maryland’s hidden gems when it comes to lyrical talent. So when we say he’s nice, it’s because he is… not because we personally know him. Besides being a very funny and chill, down-to-earth kind of guy, what he’s known for is being a LOAF because it’s been a while since we’ve heard some new music from him lol Which is understandable, he’s a busy college student like a lot of us are so we’ll give him the pass for now. He recently came out of his hiatus and recorded a few freestyles. Give them a listen.
“Cuz ya’ll gas these n*ggas with no mileage, with the price of oil, they must be drivin’ a hybrid”
More freestyles after the jump… (more…)
