About The Brothas

The Champ and Panama Jackson are two veteran bloggers who author Very Smart Brothas. Take a minute to read more about them.

Panama Jackson

Hi. My name is Panama Jackson.

You may remember me from such Chitlin Circuit plays as “I Slapped You Into Next Week, Met You There On Tuesday, and Slapped You Again” and “Why Did I Get Married??? Hell, Why Did YOU Get Married?!?!”

You may also remember me as Peaknuckle Lawson, the lead actor in the straight-to-DVD dramatic-comedy, Motherf**k Me? N***a Motherf**k Youuuuu!

Sharing is caring. The more you know. Birds of a feather. Yada yada yada.

I’m the sole proprietor, CEO, and HNIC over at Jackson G. Tickle Enterprises, an umbrella company that specializes in edutainment–which for the slow f*cks in the room is the synergy of education and entertainment. I’m also the Co-Founder and Co-Editor-In-Chief of We The Voices, an online magazine that makes your life better.

As one half of the creative genius behind Very Smart Brothas, my job is to bring the ruckus and the noise. My job is not to bring Flavor Flav, as he is banned from all conversations regarding relationships from here on out. That is, of course, unless it involves nude pictures of Buckey, in which case, he’ll be a guest panelist every Tuesday.

I’m sexxy. You are not.

I’m smarter than you. You are…umm…not?

I. am. Hov. (Really, I’m not). You. are. not.

Your life is better because my life is good. Your life will be better because I know what the f*ck I’m talking about.

Bottom line. I am Panama Jackson. You are not.

And that makes me smarter than you.

Word.Life.

PS. I hate when people use asterisks to mask profane words when you can clearly tell what the f*ck they’re saying.

The Champ

nine facts about the champ

1. for a time being, his now defunct d.theroyalyoungs.com was the most popular personal blog in the city of Pittsburgh, a fact which, in terms of irrelevance, is akin to being “the most popular guyanese golf pro in gary, indiana”.

but, it’s still a fact, nonetheless.

2. he has a fondness for soups, especially soups that happen to be especially creamy. this fondness is also extended to stacey dash and angela nissel. although these fondnesses are unrelated, they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive either.

3. a goaltending violation by something called “jamaal magloire”, is responsible for the first points the champ scored in college, a fact which is sadly fitting when remembering the champ’s star-crossed college basketball career

4. the champ has a furry white rug in his kitchen that he knows could easily be misconstrued as something belonging to a man who, for lack of a better term, “putts from the rough”. but, the champ is very secure in his heterosexuality. so secure, actually, that he likes to drink chocolate milk while standing sockless on said rug, just to further cement that security

5. the champ is lactose intolerant, btw

6. the champ pretty much only owns books written by white men and black women, but basically only listens to music created by black men and white women. this is neither a conundrum nor a paradox, just in case you were wondering.

7. although he himself isn’t particularly funny, the champ gets every joke. this makes him an expert in humor

8. the champ’s ability to get every joke and find humor in every situation is his best personal quality, by far. this is either very refreshing or very sad. we still havent figured that out yet

9. the champ is surprisingly, almost embarrassingly, modest. this, combined with the fact that according to any possible random extrapolation or interpretation of any current anthropological data, there’s a great chance that the champ is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, wittier, and better looking than most people he’ll ever encounter, makes for a very entertaining internal conflict.

this still isn’t a paradox, just in case you were still wondering.
