Sex, Drugs & Entertainment Magazine (SDEMagazine.com) is a venture between Preston Swagger and the published author of “The Organization“, Thomas Freeman Jr.
The Organization is a fictional account of very (very) true events.
During the second World War Dominican immigrants came to Camden, New Jersey by the thousands to work as replacement workers at the city’s Campbell Soup factory. By the 1970’s Camden saw a dramatic decline in population and industry and the one time industrial center slowly turned into a drug infested war zone. The situation deteriorated to the point that the mayor of the city was eventually indicted on drug charges (helped by a then unknown State’s Attorney named Rudolph Giuliani). The Organization is a tale of how greed, power and corruption nearly turned a working class city into a 3rd world country!
SDE will be an outlet for Thomas Freeman (nicknamed T-Black) until his next novel (Preston will be a contributing author). It’s life from a “Hood” view with a side of pop-culture and politics.
For instance:
Did you know that Colin Powell was born in 1937 in Harlem, NY and raised in the South Bronx by Jamaican immigrant parents? Or that Condoleezza Rice was a Democrat until 1982 when she switched to Republican…following her father who had been denied access to register by democrats in Alabama in 1955 — so he went to the only party that did accept him — the Republicans.
Do you know approximately how much a Kilo of Coke is currently going for in New York?
LOL…
Yeah…you can find all of this on one site…SDEMagazine.com

My homeboy Ed the Sports Fan did his guest author thing on Mr. Swagger.com and wrote a LEGENDARY post for the “Grown and Sexy”. Since that describes this site’s readership…I had to share.
“So since Jay-Z came out with “Excuse Me Miss,” The term “Grown and Sexy” has been thrown around more than Karrine Stephens backstage at the BET awards. If you’re throwing a party, it’s for the Grown and Sexy. If you got a car that’s a sedan but not a lowrider or a Donk, it’s grown and sexy. You went and bought a shirt that’s not a XXXXXLT white tee, you guessed it, grown and sexy. Grown and Sexy has kind of turned into our generation’s “Whoomp, there it is.” Ironically enough, the most frequent overusers of this phrase seem to be 23 year olds whose parents still pay their car insurance. When I go to these grown and sexy parties, all I see are people in overdone tacky outfits who are trying to look too hard like they’re balling. So since I clearly don’t understand the accepted social definition of Grown and Sexy, I’ll provide my own list of Grown man shit:…Check It
Damn!! You can’t take your eye off those Merchant boys for a minute!

“19. If no one’s paying y’all to appear in their ads, magazines, fashion shows, etc., I will not refer to you or your homegirls as models. You’re recreational picture-takers.”
Couldn’t possibly agree more.
