Steve Edwards: All eyes (and talk) on the “Mood Disorder” of Jesse Jackson Jr.

Ernest Wilkins: Frank Ocean came out, becoming one of the only openly gay artists in hip hop. How is the hip-hop community reacting to Ocean’s news? And Target just announced they will NOT sell his record in their stores, citing an iTunes exclusive for the ban.
