Tyler reports "There is no place that has the combination of great food, people that know wine and beer, an up scale atmosphere and prices on take home beverages that are nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed my Flat Iron Burger. All in All if you do not enjoy your time at The AC Bottle Company?.....You know what...YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR TIME HERE I PROMISE."

After enjoying a great Flat Iron Burger from the Iron Room (the resteraunt/lounge) owner Paul Tonacci picked out three great wines that he would enjoy with The Flat Iron Burger.



 These are the the three beverages Paul said would go best with a nice sized beeefy burger.

 While Don enjoyed all three....Donald, Paul and Raymond agreed that Three would be the pick.

Three is a great wine that you can go over to AC Bottle Company and pick up for your party or private dinner needs and it won't event set you back $20.

In fact try all three choices as each bottle retails for under $20.

Go see why we The Voice Of AC picked Three as Icon Raymond Tyler's pick for his wine of choice.

Editorial: When Celebrity Access GOES WRONG.

Contributor Mo Delgado (middle) with his son and wife.

Since the inception of the internet, American culture is becoming a worldwide culture. Now that anyone, anywhere can peer into the lives of the rich and famous it does 3 things: 1. exposes how messed up the lives of these "chosen" few are and how money and fame doesn't protect you from bad choices and its ramifications, 2. Overly exposes our youth to the lives and practices had by the celebrities they want to emulate, hence giving them a blueprint of how to look and act as if they were in that population. 3. Now this exposure also eliminates the desires for old school protocols to achieve that which they covet..who needs school when I can buy what I see?, why go to school when drugs can get me the money quicker than going to school? If everybody who I look up to didn't go to school and they made it, why should I?
Real talk...when Jay-Z, Baby, French Montana, and Rick Ross are your child's role models...College, Trade School, or Struggling wont be in the ready list of things to accomplish. While their children see Lawyers in their families and in their community circles as parents and neighbors or friends, ours depend on youtube, and Worldstar..WAKE UP!

Editorial: Are We Ready To Speak Honestly About Inter-Racial Dating

 

Let me start by saying that if I speak honestly?

I am a child of the mid 20th century and the early 21st.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN HERE?

It means I still hear my momma telling me "If you get caught with a white girl she's gonna holler rape."

It means the images of black women being brutalized in films like roots will most likely be with me till I die.

It also means that I learned to live and let live.

It means three of my dearest friends that have never ever hesitated to help me and the products of inter racial relationships.

It means that the most fun I have had at a club in recent time was with a white women because I did not have to wade through the cultural quagmire that many Black women insist on dragging with them EVERY where they go (such as putting on a show for their girl friends.)

It means I understand that if you find some one that is BLUE with yellow polka dots and they love you for you?

Love them back and be happy.....it's rare and you are very lucky.

It means that I understand WHY people choose to date outside of their race because BLACK PEOPLE HAVE TOO MANY CULTURAL HANG UPS...SOME OF WHICH ARE KILLING US SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

Being a child of two very different centuries means this...I LOVE BLACK WOMEN...and I AM STILL HOPEFUL THAT I CAN FIND ONE THAT IS WHOLE ENOUGH TO LOVE ME....

The Voice Of Atlantic City Remembers Former Heavy Weight Champ Ken Norton

Former heavyweight boxing champion Ken Norton Sr. has died at 70, according to his son.
Norton, who had battled various ailments for the past several years, died on Wednesday night in a hospital in Arizona where he had been rehabbing since undergoing a stroke last year.
A previously unheralded Norton famously beat Muhammad Ali in 1973 in San Diego, breaking his jaw in the process. It was just the second defeat of Ali's career.
"Ali thought it would be an easy fight," Gene Kilroy, Ali's former business manager said. "But Norton was unorthodox. Instead of jabbing from above like most fighters he would put his hands down and jab up at Ali."
According to Kilroy, Norton visited Ali in the hospital following the first of what would eventually be three fights. Ali said he never wanted to fight him again, but didn't hold on that promise.
Norton narrowly lost to Ali later that year at the Inglewood Forum in California in the re-match, and then Ali won again in another controversial decision in 1976 at Yankee Stadium to keep his heavyweight title.
Norton, the 1978 WBC champion, lost in his first title defense after an epic, 15-round bout vs. Larry Holmes in June of 1978. It's considered one of the greatest fights of all-time.
Norton finished his career 42-7-1, including 33 knockouts. He retired in 1981 following a first-round loss to Gerry Cooney at Madison Square Garden and then went on to appear in several movies.
One of his sons, Ken Norton Jr., was a star linebacker in the NFL and is now a coach for the Seattle Seahawks.(As Reported from CBS Sports)

Five Things I Love Right Now….Words Br Raymond Tyler

This is an idea that I hope you will all steal.
We all find great cool stuff on facebook, reverb, twitter and before myspace we had this thing called “real life.” And the creators, artists and business can use the endorsements of things YOU LOVE.

At least once a week, I will stop and give love to 5 things I am loving right now.

So enough of writing about it…here it is.

1.    

1.   Five Ways To Fall Out Of love a film by Lola Irizarry .

What’s NOT to LOVE LOVE LOVE and one more LOVE about Lola Irizarry . In a world where so many people are talking about what they will do. Lola is doing it. I first came across 5 Ways To Fall Out Of Love as a Facebook Page and Lola was asking for stories on “how to fall out of love.”

The concept is so poetic it makes me jealous. It reminds me of when poetry and hip hop and film making were all so exciting because there were more then just a few stories being told.

5 Ways to Fall Out Of Love is a project that will be growing I believe for a while.

      2.  After The Gavel a book by Turkessa Lee- I love me some Turkessa Lee. Every conversation involves two things I respect. A. Embracing What Is Good and B. Rejecting What Is Bad.

It seems simple but so many people invite the media, friends that are not friendly, and pain into their decision making process. After The Gavel is about healing. Though the main premise is “Life After Divorce.” After The Gavel should be read by anyone that needs permission to move on.

In fact I loved After The Gavel and Turkessa Lee so much, that I will be producing a new show with Miss Lee for the new Voice Network. (Stay Tuned.) Very soon you will be able to hear and see Miss Lee on a regular basis as the host of Permission To Have A Voice.

3.Nothing But Net TV with Jeff McGill-McGill is a pioneer in internet TV and I hope and pray that NBN makes it to a broadcast screen soon.  It would be perfect for a cable channel.

NBN TV also takes me back to some of my favorite video shows of the past like Pump It Up with Dee Barnes and Krush Raps with The Funky Editor Mike Elliot.

There are two types of people on the net those hip to Nothing But Net and those who will be.

4.Rules Of Engagement formerly on CBS now in syndication. I don’t care what CBS thinks I could have watched new episodes of Rules Of Engagement forever. The show stars Patrick Warburton (who played David Putty on Seinfeld) as a veteran husband of 14 years.

The show revolves around Warburton’s “Jeff Bingham” and his “cave man” ways that his wife (Meg Pryce) loves yet she struggles to refine him and wants to change him.

Throw in the engaged couple one of which is extremely attractive and sometime solid actress Bianca Kajlich. Along with the single  guy, David Spade, Rules is a half hour of funny every time.

5 .Atlantic City DJ’s.

Larry Lee-Though not in AC currently. Lee /DJ Original ILL Nino is a DJ most of my DJ people agree is hands down dope. Most people don’t know, as nice as Lee is with his hands….his heart is even bigger. One thing I’ve always liked about Lee is that he stands for his beliefs. The big heart and moral back bone is just gravy because there are not many people nicer than Lee on two turntables. My favorite mix by Lee is his remix for IF by Janet Jackson. I could say he makes a sick record terminally ill….but honestly he kills every remix I ever heard him do.

 DJ ILL Nino/Larry Lee's Remix for The AC Classic DWYCK

DJ Fah D-Have you heard the expression “A Party Ain’t A Party?” Fah-D’s List created havoc, turmoil and hurt feelings among MC’s in Atlantic City. He’s been AC’s Mix Tape King. Even if I wanted to dispute Fah being the number one DJ in Atlantic City and South Jersey right now? Numbers never lie and the numbers and the people have spoken.AND HE IS THE UNDISPUTED NUMBER ONE DJ IN AC AND SOUTH JERSEY.  My favorite Fah D party to date? Hmmmm….I would say The Mart Small White party 2012 but again….Fah kills every party that he touches a turn table.

DJ Swoosh- If Touch Tone and Doc B run Philly? If Fah D runs  AC? And Funk Flex IS NY. Then DJ Swoosh runs everything and everywhere else. 3 or 4 years ago Swoosh did some promo CD’s for my five year anniversary party and everyone that has heard it wants me to burn them a copy. Swoosh has fans in every generation, in every city, at every venue that matters in AC and in the world. You can catch him in Florida, Jamaica or Europe.

 Interview with Swoosh on The Voice Of AC Radio Show.

I love AC DJ’s. 

Larry Lee inspired me to get serious.
DJ Able Inspired Me To Sound Better.
DJ Thadd Inspires me to have fun and to be creative.
DJ Fah D inspires me to keep growing and expanding.
DJ Swoosh inspires me to keep spinning and look at every business as a potential venue for a DJ.

Rest In Peace To Robert "Big Rob" Williams who inspires me to inspire others to live out their dreams on radio and TV.
You will be missed.

FYI-I’m available for gigs, but I can tell you straight up. Any of these spinners will make your party or special event musically memorable. 

Share 5 Things That You Love Here, On your Facebook, Twitter where ever.

Editorial: Writer Danielle Percy Responds To Underwood's Rant of Hair

A school sends out a dress code banning afro puffs & twists then rescinds it with a confused apology. A black comedian blasts a white mom of a mixed race child for cherishing her son's "nappy" hair and later issues a heartfelt apology. A little princess named Tiana is harassed to the point that her father feels the need to pull her out of a school whose policy bans dreadlocks & afros, a policy that their black principal (with a twist-out weave) publicly defends. Yet people don't understand why hair issues strike such a deep chord with Black women especially. It's more than just aesthetics. It's about being made to feel like you are somehow wrong or not good enough as a person unless you go to great lengths to alter yourself to fit a beauty standard that is not natural for you. & it's not even to be considered pretty or attractive, it's just to be considered acceptable/tolerable. That's why I constantly beat the drum with my child of how beautiful her hair is because I know that she is bombarded daily with messages both direct & indirect that the more she is able to conform to a European beauty standard the better. & I understand that when she gets older she may decide to wear her hair any given number of ways, I just want to provide a balance for her to be able to make those decisions but it's not easy to do that when we receive so many opposing messages on such a consistent basis.
