My name is Jamal Brown. I am currently a student at Western Kentucky University. I am discovering the amazing world of literature in English class. There has been some really great stuff. The problem I’m having is finding people to share it with. I’m really close to my cousin, DeShaun, but he’s so damned hood, he can’t understand it. Hence, Blacklations. My goal is to try to translate my interpretation of some of the great pieces of literature into something DeShaun can comprehend. I am totally open to anyone else that would like to contribute their own translations or suggestions of great pieces of literature they think should be translated into a more ‘modern’ format.
