Jimi Izrael and DJ Diva are back with a new mixtape for The Denzel Principle. I’m off vacation/work break to bring you a hot new mixtape. Jimi Izrael, the author of The Denzel Principle: Why Black Women Can’t Find Good Black Men, reached out to me to fashion a new mix for him. I enjoyed the first one I did for him (which you can find here), so I was happy to be tapped to do the second one. Thanks to TripleGoddess for the cover and image you see here! I’ve read his book 3 times so I had an idea of what I was looking at the second time around. As with the first, I included many instrumentals (can you guess which?) and some of my new favorites jams to blend in between his readings. The full length track is available so take a listen and respond to what Jimi has to say. His readings are in black. For the record, I agree with Jimi on a lot of his points. Not Denzel though…more like Boris Kodjoe for me.

Did you catch Jimi on Nightline with Hil Harper, Sherri Shepard and that other chick (no shade/shade lol) Here’s a clip:

“The Denzel Principle” is not a book of advice, but rather a book of lessons. Advice can be good or bad, but lessons come with a guarantee: you will absolutely learn SOMETHING. You may not like what you learn, or see the use for it immediately, but you learn from a lesson, and everyone will learn something different. “Denzel” is smart, bitter, sad, happy, over-sexed, hilarious and exciting — with a lesson for everyone who reads it. Is your man a “Denzel?” Take the quiz. With this book, Izrael has craft a commentary like no other.

And everyone is talking about it.

Hey Everybody!!!

This mixtape is a step out of the box. Jimi Izrael contacted me and requested that I do a mixtape for the release of his new book “The Denzel Principle- Why Black Women Can’t Find Good Black Men”.

This was a new experience for me..I took his selected readings…read by the Dizzle himself and laid them over popular instrumentals. I took some of the most recent R&B and hip hop songs and placed them between the tracks.

Jimi talks about everything in this mix and it is extremely controversial! He starts it off with Da Dizzle- talking about the Denzel Washington effect on women. Jimi then goes into the Booty Scale where he rates the various aspects of  white female hindparts. He has a diatribe against Kevin Powell…he really doesn’t care for him as you may be able to tell! Ejaculation Negotiaton starts off talking about just that but it ends with a poignant twist! Birds and Bees is a talk that Jimi wants to have with his daughter when she is of age…really as blunt and straight forward as he can be! Jimi has a problem with Essence magazine too and he tells you all about it! if your girl has a lot of friends…then you need to listen to Peeps. He talks about the generational curse of Single Motherhood which almost made me mad enough to stop production (I’m glad I didn’t). In Exhale he talks about Terri McMillian and you know he goes in on her messed up gaydar! and in the final selection of The Lesson he talks about an important childhood experience and how it affected his life.

I know you will have a good time listening to this. Please purchase the book at Amazon.com (link provided) I’ve read it and you will be laughing, sighing, crying and cursing from cover to cover!

Thank you for choosing me to do this mix Jimi, I hope you sell a million copies!
