Fisher Price: My First Ultra!
On Tuesday we introduced you to this fine young thing humping a tree (from two different angles!) at the Ultra Musical Festival down in Miami. Today, Larry Harris Jr. gives a first-hand report of the madness that transpired.
Being American While Black
“You can’t act like they [my classmates] act. The teachers will see you first.” Larry Harris Jr. reflects on what it’s like to grow up black in America after the murder of Trayvon Martin by looking at his history of being racially profiled.
Magnum Opus: Uncovering the Truth About Penis Size
Most men think the perfect penis is more about length than girth. They’re wrong. Most women think the ideal penis is bigger than the average. Why are there so many misconceptions? Larry Harris Jr. attempts to clear up a few things.
Occupy Everything: My Hip Hop Anthem
Larry Harris Jr. went to Occupy Miami this weekend because he’s upset about how big banks and Washington stole the American Dream — not because he’s lazy, unemployed or down on my luck. To prove it, here’s his original hip hop anthem.
HV Exclusive: Black Bobby’s Best Kept Secrets EP
Our very own Larry Harris Jr. opened Tuesday night’s Rock The Bells for the Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) reunion show in Miami Beach. Now, he drops his first ever worldwide release, exclusively right here. Score one for independent music.

The state of education in the United States is troubling, to say the least. Larry Harris Jr. has studied education models across the world, and he has developed an 11-stage plan for developing the perfect school. It all starts with you.
On Harry Potter vs. Luke Skywalker Heroism
Why Millennials should embrace the boy wizard over the Jedi knight…
Brain Food: Five Reasons Why I Smoke Pot
This isn’t just another stoner whining about how the government won’t let him. No, Larry Harris Jr. offers his thoughts on why getting high on the marijuana has actually improved his life, re-wired his brain and treated his illnesses. Enlightening.
The War on Drugs: It’s Time to Roll Out the Portuguese Model
Drug use and dependency are medical issues, not criminal justice issues. People who are susceptible to addiction or are addicted in the United States should be treated in a similar or more comprehensive manner than the way we treat alcoholics.
Grumpy Old Man: How Can I Get You to See What I See?
Universal hate for Ron Paul is at an all-time high. And, while Larry Harris Jr. looks for ways to talk about politics without bringing up his oh-so-awkward respect for Rep. Paul, he wonders internally: “How can I get you to see what I see?”
After the Baby Boom Leadership Fail
Larry Harris, Jr. examines precisely how the Baby Boomers f*&ked it all up and how the Millennials are trying to piece it all back together. This is the story of the Dot Com Bust, the War on Drugs, the Wealth Gap and a brighter future.
There’s No Justice. There’s Just Us.
Like most artists, Larry Harris, Jr. reads and listens to his own work: “intellectual masturbation.” Little did he know that, now far removed from college and grad school, he has been craving something far more exhilarating: an “intellectual orgy.”
How Should You Feel About Pornography?
There’s almost always some history of sexual abuse in the lives of porn performers. This troubles Larry Harris, Jr. So wouldn’t paying for it be better than not? Then again, most of the good stuff is free. Why should he be the only sucker?
There is No R&B. There is Only Frank Ocean.
For Larry Harris, Jr., R&B died with Jodeci. It’s all hyper-sexualized raunchiness now. But, as he writes, Frank Ocean is a throwback to the R&B on which he grew up. Added bonus: There is nothing “rapey” about Frank Ocean’s music.
“You Can’t Forget Your Penis”
Our man Larry writes: “I consider myself a pretty manly man. I’ve studied manliness. I read the magazines. But, I can’t say anyone ever sat me down and taught me to be a man…I am often left to wonder: What is it about me that truly makes me a man?”

SPIN’s 100 Greatest Guitarists List: Epic Fail
Skrillex Is Not a Guitarist, and other fairly obvious reasons why SPIN magazine’s revisionist Best Guitarists list is total trolling. Desperate for page views? Trying to out-indie Pitchfork? Whatever the reason, the list is absurd.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey,’ if Christian and Ana Were Cavemen
The discovery of 37,000-year-old porn makes me see E.L. James’ masterpiece in a whole new light. What would “Fifty Shades” be like if it took place in the Stone Age? Kinda awkward, actually.
