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.

“The Denzel Principle is a humorous look at the age old complaint of the inability for African American women to find a “good man”. {jimi izrael} walks you through his personal romantic experiences and derives his opinion from that. He feels that African American women have been poisoned by years of Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington and Essence Magazine. Should you read this book? I think you should…” – Oretha Winston

“There is more than a little truth to {jimi izrael’s} theory” –Denise Johnson

“it’s a memoir, satirical… his opinion…. so you have to take it with a grain of salt.” — Fungke Black Chick

” This memoir rates an A+” – Kam Williams

“Basically what guys talk about in barbershops… YES, it’s funny” Black Voices
