The Last Word: Black Men, Deadly Weapons
What does it take for a black man to be considered armed and dangerous? Not much.
The Last Word 2012: Colonel Mary J’s Chicken Flies The Coop
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. In the multi-billion dollar world of celebrity endorsements…all “gwop” ain’t good “gwop.” Just ask the reigning Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. We’ve loved Mary J. Blige in her good times and bad, and in most of our eyes, she can do no wrong. Unless, it involves her being too excited to sing about a piece of fried chicken in a commercial jingle that we just couldn’t bear. Andre’s artwork captured the unfortunate “Burger King Crispy Chicken Strips Fiasco” of April 2012 by picturing MJB with yet another chicken giant (BONUS – below it is the real commercial): [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHh0bqD78b0] Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com.
The Last Word 2012: Hip-Hop Bows Its Head for Baby Chris
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. He was a hero among Hip-Hop giants, with an infectious smile that we never imagined would fade. But, in August 2012, Chris Lighty’s peers mourned the loss of rap’s talented business mind and friend. Whether it was due to an alleged suicide or something more sinister, it was clear that all anyone could question was, ‘Why?’ Andre captured the tragic event in his special way – by spotlighting how Hip-Hop and beyond came together (with some putting aside long-standing beef) in Baby Chris’ honor: Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com.
The Last Word 2012: Breezy, Drizzy and a Bajan Babe Worth Brawling For
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. 2012 saw the resurgence of “beef” in a major way in Hip-Hop. The drama even spilled over onto R&B singers, as two of the biggest global celebs – Chris Brown and Rihanna – found their names intertwined in the news once again. This time, however, the story also involved YMCMB’s golden boy, Canadian rapper, Drake, who apparently “kissed-and-told” too much about his exploits with Chris’ former girl at the time. And, according to Andre’s The Last Word, Breezy was ready to fight for his woman: The Rihanna-sharing hit a climax in New York in mid-June of this year, with a Henny-bottling slinging brawl that dragged Meek Mill into the mix, too. It was a bad look for all, but made for another funny Andre artistic moment… Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com.
The Last Word 2012: Keep Your Political Self-Interests – We’ve Got “Super’PAC”
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. Politics can be a petty, nasty business, and in 2012, we saw the worst mudslinging, self-interests we’ve seen in years. The “SuperPACs” (Super Political Action Committees) were determined to pull their weight and their pocketbooks all the way to the White House. Andre knows that Hip-Hop lives by a separate set of politics – and we aren’t easily blinded by big talk and big dollars…unless it’s a raucous rivalry between rappers.

The Last Word 2012: A Baby Blue Heir To “The Throne” Is Born
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. In one of the top stories of the year, iconic rapper/entrepreneur Jay-Z and his equally major singing wife, Beyonce, welcomed baby Blue Ivy Carter into the world on January 7, 2012. Even before her birth there were rampant pregnancy rumors, guesses about possible names, and the sense that Hip-Hop’s royal couple was birthing its first heir to The Throne. Andre captures the momentous occasion and Blue Ivy’s first rap recording (“Glory”) in his “The Last Word” cartoon from this past January: Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com.
Election Funnies: Andre Leroy Davis’ “Romneyio” (Think Pinnochio) and the 1st Black President
Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, is back at it again with “The Last Word,” his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. Just one day before the 2012 Election draws to a close (and our next president is elected! #TeamObama over here!), Davis sent over a few funnies. First, a word from our FIRST Black President, Mr. Bill Clinton: …followed by a tall tale or two from Republican candidate “Mitt Romneyio”… Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com. #VOTE!
