I do things a little different from these other blogs...While most hate. I appreciate. Im not perfect tho, and I will throw shade from time to time...only when it's necessary...
(via CNN)
Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that racial politics played a role in South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's speech to Congress last week.
I currently reside in the South, and I have never experienced blatant racism before until I migrated South from up North (New Jersey). Since our nation has the first "black" or African-American president racist have been coming out the wood work. It's a shame after how far we have come as a country that there is still this level of hatred towards different races, and as of recent (evidence seen on twitter) this epidemic is being passed down to the younger generations too. Sad, but will it ever end? I hope...
The 2009 Mtv VMA's were full of a bunch of surprises and foolishness from beginning to end, and coming to finish off the stunt of all stunts was Lil Man, I mean Mama.
About 40 seconds before Jay-Z and Alicia Key's performance to "Empire State", off his new Blueprint 3 album, was over the camera pans out to show the audience, and if you look hard enough you see a figure walking onto the stage on the left side of the screen. It's Lil Mama...
I won't retract any statements that I made about Kanye West and his performance on the VMA's on Sunday, regarding his interruption of country artist Taylor Swift's acceptance speech (see previous post), but I will say after watching Kanye apologize for the third time for his actions I understand his move. There's normally a method to Kanye's madness, but it usually get's overshadowed by his initial action, and this time was no different.
First and foremost Happy Belated Birthday to Nas who turned 37 yesterday (Sept. 14)!!!!
It has been reported that rapper Nas and his recently divorced wife Kelis were seen in NYC club Marquee kissing and hugged up. The pair recently celebrated the birth of their first son, Knight, along with major court battles over alimony and child support.
I've always enjoyed these two as a couple, and I wish them the best. I hope the can work it out for baby Knight's sake.
This morning Chris Brown sent a link via twitter to a video that features pictures of him and his former girlfriend Rhianna with his new song "Changed Man".
Check the video:
Chris tweeted this a couple seconds later...
I honestly feel bad for him. While, I don't condone the battery or assault of women, or anybody for that matter, I think this whole Chris Brown & Rhianna situation has been blown up by the media terribly, and not for purposes of awareness against abuse. That's wack. Everybody is a critic when the spotlight isn't on them. I'm pretty sure most of the "anti-Chris Brown" haters, if given the opportunity to dig into their past there would be things that surfaced about them that are less then admirable. In saying this I wish Chris & Rhianna the best of luck with their love, life, & career, and hopefully the rest of the world can move on as they are currently trying to do.
With twitter becoming the most popular way for "regular" people or, fans to interact with "celebrities" there were plenty of words being thrown around from both sides of the fence about the tomfoolery that was displayed by Kanye West at last night's VMA's.
I ran across a couple of retweets that said type in Kanye West and N*gger in the search box, so I did, and what do you know...Take a look at what popped up:
This is probably one of the most distrubing things I've seen since that can of soda being sold in Target last week...Lynched tho? SMDH...Yes Kanye was waaayyyy out of line for interupting that little girl's acceptance speech, but these comments are a bit much...I guess having a Black President doesn't change the mentality of the ignorant. What they don't realize is statements like the ones above makes them a "n*gger" too. IGNORANT!
Maybe there's a method to Mr. West's madness...hmmmmm
*Btw Taylor Swift didn't thank Ms. Beyonce at all for allowing her to get back a piece of the moment Kanye took away*
This morning at around 4 o' clock diddy twitpic-ed this photo of his boo boo baby boo boo boo Cassie...I guess he had to show his shorty some love since NOBODY was checkin for her tonight...
Her hair actually looks alright, her dress is cute, but that bag with them shoes....nu-uh...
Kanye West does it again. During the 2009 Mtv VMA's while country singer Taylor Swift was accepting her award for best female video, Kanye West's drunk ass gets on stage and grabs the mic out of her hands, and says:
"I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time"
This was Taylor swifts first time at the VMA's and her first moonman ever. (Did you see Beyonce's face when they cut the camera to her...EMBRASSED)
SMDH...like Ye's big brother Jigga said..."they like the drunk uncle in your family, you know they lame, you ashamed but you love them the same" -Dear Summer
After Kanye's statements twitter went crazy...here are some of the reactions from some celebrities:
Pink (who was also nominated in the category):
Katy Perry:
Kelly Rowland:
Beyonce later tried to clean up Kanye's mess when she accepted her award for video of the year, and brought Taylor Swift out so she could make the acceptance speech she was deprived of earlier.
Actress Lauren London (New-New from ATL) and rapper Lil-Wayne gave birth to her first, and his second son, Lennox,this weekend at Cedar Sinai hospital in California. This is Lil Wayne's 3rd child, and next up is Nivea, his other baby mother, who also has children by singer/song-writer The DREAM.
In other news, Christina Millian and tacky man Dream tied the knot in Vegas last week. Rumor has it that there is no pre-nup (stupid him), and it's better reported that the two are expecting a child...
There's a lot of baby making going on...I hope they can all keep it civil...Congratulations guys!
Last last week, actress Maia Campbell was ridiculed after a video of her sitting in a car circulated the internet. Some sites contributed her odd behavior to drugs while others claimed she suffered from schizophrenia. A friend of her mother Bebe Moore Campbell reached out to the website Black Web 2.0 and revealed that Maia had actually been diagnosed with bi-polar/manic depression and since substance abuse is involved, she has symptoms that are similar to schizophrenia. She also revealed that your prayers have worked as Maia Campbell is currently in treatment:
Maia is in treatment. And she said that there is hope for Maia’s recovery but the prayers of “50,000,000″ people can make the difference, because Maia doesn’t like to stay in treatment, and her treatment involves drug withdrawal as well as treatment for her disorders. She asked me to tell you that Maia’s disorders are exasperated and sent out of control by substance abuse. Pre-existing and early onset bi-polar, clinical depression and schizophrenia can be sent out of control by marijuana (the worst culprit), alcohol and of course, synthetic and street drugs. Maintain your hope for Maia’s recovery. Nancy said, “She can use her beauty, talent, and celebrity for the good of others.”
*I'm relieved that she sought out treatment , and got away from those devils that were exploiting her. Maia we're all praying for you. Get well soon Ma.*
Brother Franklin has me feeling the spirit on this Wednesday evening...I want to share one of my favorite Youtube videos that has me in tears every time I watch it.
Karen Clark Sheard & her daughter Kierra "Keke" Sheard "You loved me".
Last week I posted a preview to Diddy, and his "Dirty Money Crew" featuring the late B.I.G video for the song "Angels", off his new album "Last Train to Paris" and here is the full version...
Just like I thought, the video is dope (Hype Williams directed)...too bad Diddy's singing...with auto-tune, which I thought Jay-z killed a couple months ago...
Oh and I'm still not understanding this "Dirty Money Crew" movement...maybe I'll know more when the album drops...
Here's a video of two of my least favorite people R Kelly and Keri Hilson performing their new single "Number One" on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Personal issues aside...R Kelly is a talented, and after that D.O.A cover/diss the cutie Trey Songz did going after Kels. We'll see if the R Kelly we once knew returns (minus the videotapes). Btw...Is it just me that is not feeling Ms. Keri's stage performance (EVER)??? Justa thought...
Today at around 5 am (EST.) Chris Breezy tweeted this youtube link for extreme Gymnastics...I never even knew this existed, but now that I do...it's pretty dope...check it out:
I'm surprised the camera could keep up with the gymnast..Breezy said he's gonna try this out...I hope he youtubes that one :)
I'm a little late hopping on the Ryan Leslie train, but hey it's better late then ever right?
Check out this video of him making the beat to his hit "Addiction".
He's amazing, and I absolutely love his energy, and passion for his craft.
In case you didn't no-sooo there is brains that comes with all this talent...(via Wikipedia)
...At an early age, Leslie taught himself how to play the piano. He developed the ability to recite music, as well as arrange chords to create songs. At the age of 15, Leslie scored a 1600 on his SATs - a perfect score. In 1993 he applied to four University of California campuses as well as Stanford, Yale and Harvard. In his application essays he explained his interest in matriculating from his junior year in high school without having earned a diploma. He was accepted to all except Yale. He ultimately decided to attend Harvard University.At the age of 19, Leslie graduated from Harvard with a degree in Government, concentrating in Political Science and Macroeconomics. During his commencement ceremonies, Ryan delivered the prestigious Harvard Oration...
If that wasn't enough watch him make more magic...
I also came across this video on youtube of a spoof of the video above by the Obama kid and it's HILARIOUS! Check it out:
Yesterday the trending topic on twitter was #prayformaiacampbell the once "pretty face" Tiffany from the 90's LL Cool J tv series "In the house", after this near 10 minute video surfaced of her spazzin on this dude in Cali.
I've heard that Maia is suffering from a mental illness, bipolar or schizophrenia, and their have been reports that she's on drugs and is not taking her medication. Looking at this video is saddening, and whoever taped this and put it on the internet should be ashamed of themselves for trying to exploit her like this...Check the video:
I might be the only one not too excited about Ms. Houston's "comeback" & after this video of her performing "Im Every Woman" in Central Park I know why. She sounds a mess. Looks like I'll be adding another one to the Mariah Carey list....
I came across this video of a Beyonce fan performing in his bedroom to her hit "EGO", and I almost vomited in my mouth a little bit about...ohhhh...15 seconds into the video. Just take a look for yourself (I hope you can stomach it) and what is that shit on his legs???
Here's a sneak peek at Diddy and his new formed group "Dirty Money Crew" (Dawn Richard from Danity Kane, and singer/songwriter Kalenna) video for his first single off his new album "Last Train to Paris",scheduled for release in the U.S. November 24th. (I'm feeling the brown skin movement)
Check it out:
Sidebar: I heard Diddy had to go back in the studio and revamp his album, which is completely auto-tuned after Def Jam Prez Jay-Z put out his D.O.A track.
Here's some more New music from DIDDY and crew called "Love Come Down"
I'm not really feeling this one, but maybe with over saturation on radio airwaves throughout the country it might have a chance of growing on me...prolly not. I think Diddy needs to go back and holla at Ryan Leslie for some beats because this one ain't it!
I had a hard time doing this post because I couldn't keep my eyes off of this sexy creation of a man...The Lord said it's wrong to lust, but pfffff how could you not?
Check out the photos from singer Trey Songz latest photoshoot:
DAMN! Not only does he have body but this man can SANG!
Trey's new album READY is in stores now....Ya'll betta go cop that!
America's Next Top Model season 5 runner up (she should have won) Nik, just recently gave birth to a baby boy, and her are some photos from her Essence magazine shoot, just weeks before delivering...
Where im at on the map Gucci Mane sits next to Jesus in the pulpit (let the people tell it), so I'm almost forced to listen to a Gucci playlist. I heard "Break Up" - Mario featuring rapper Gucci Mane and singer-songwriter Sean Garrett, before actually seeing the video and I thought the song was catchy.
Truthfully the only part of the song that I was listening to was the hook and the beat because I can never understand what Gucci Mane is saying...
Today I stubbled upon the video for the song and actually paid attention to the video and lyrics. And I'm thinking...Are these dudes saying if I'm showing you love, and taking care of you, but I have chicks on the side "Why would you wanna break up"?
Ummmm...Reguardless of what the meaning behind the song is. It got me thinking...that those are truely a man's thoguhts.
I mean les-b-honnesssst...Would a female really get away with saying this to her male counter-part? Doubt it.
I don't even know how I feel about this situation. There's not too many dudes I know that's actually trying to take care of a female finanically, or maybe there are and we haven't crossed paths yet.
If these types of males actually exsist... Shorty where you at? Im just sayin...
Last week, while performing at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey., Hip-Hop's new young prince, Drizzy Drake stumbled upon(literally) yet another road block in his take off career.
While performing on stage (against doctor's orders) with his better half, Lil Wayne, rapper Drake collasped, re-injuring his knee(previously injured from basketball), after suddenly slipping on the right side of the stage. Within seconds, stagehands help him up and assist the badly limping MC offstage.
That looked like it hurt in a major way....
After his collapse Drizzy tweeted Miss Info (who was tweeting live from the tour) and his fans saying: We straight. Just to show that this ACL sh-- ain't a joke. Thanks for the support, and we'll be back ... Young Moola
All is well...On the bus laying down... Getting surgery this week but I'm walking. Thank my whole YM family for the help. Lion Hearts!
The next day Drake released a statement via a blogpost I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and due to the events that happened the other night lord only knows what other damage I have done,” Drake admitted on his blog yesterday (August 2). “On the bright side I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world.
Drake's knee has been the butt of many jokes, and it even has its own page on twitter. Right Drake tweeted his fans, letting them know he was okay, a twitter page "Drakesknee" surfaced.
"Drakesknee" went on to tweet some funny verses about the incident.
Before I tripped I was the man/ Wish I was rappin' in some sand/ Now I never want to hear 'Fallin' by Alicia, man
And later tweeting Hip-hop's like an open sore/ But Weezy came and opened doors/ Don't worry bout my knee/ Worry if I lose my vocal cords
Most of these MCs really aren't even half of me/ In fact, besides God the only fear I have is gravity
Who ever is behind this is funny...lol
But what's even funnier is Lil Wayne's reaction to Drake's fall on stage. Check out Weezy's reaction in the video...
Drake has returned home to Toronto to recover from the injury, which will likely keep him off the remaining dates of the America's Most Wanted tour. Shout outs to Chris Brown for standing in for the homie Drizzy in VA this weekend.
WHAT IN THE HELL...So recently basketball star Stephon Marbury hopped on the bandwagon of celebrities trippin on the internet.
I've read dude has a few personal issues but after 2 and a half minutes of this shit I couldn't take it...and the fool in the background singing along with the song needs to be slapped.
Honestly this looked like a drunk night I'd had with my friends back when I was in college. I don't know, but he's gonna have to do better then this.
The belly complex….Wifey vs. Side piece who would you rather be?
Last night I was watching one of my favorite movies “Belly”, and I absolutely loooove the scene where Dmx is in the shower, and Keysha (Tarelle Hicks) was scrolling through Dmx’s character’s pager and came across the phone number of the 16 yr old girl Keiona (Vita) that Dmx was creeping with.
Click for the video While reciting the conversation along with the movie, between the two women back and forth I started thinking. Hmmmm….which one would I rather be. The female he cheats on, or the female he creeps with? Idk. This one is tough. What ya’ll think?
The fans of the cutie Trey Songz have been “readily anticipating” the release of his 3rd studio album “Ready” for some time now. The album was scheduled to drop on August 4th, but has been pushed back a month. Now we have to wait until September 1st to cop that disc.
Don’t get too teary-eyed fans. The mixtape bully has released an album worthy mixtape “Anticipation” that can be nominated alongside his homie Drake as best mixtape album of 09’
So apparently there’s no need to bust out the Free Gucci Mane t-shirts. Yesterday (July 19), in the early afternoon a message was leaked via twitter by Souljah boy and later confirmed by Bossip.com that Mr. So Icy was jailed over the weekend.
According to Bossip:
Gucci supposedly had failed a probationary urine test. He also did not show up for his probation hearing, so a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The story was a little sketchy to begin with, but given the history of the Atlanta rapper and his problems with the law, it wasn’t too far off.
Souljah boy later cleared the air with this tweet:
Gucci’s new album “Murder was the case” is in the stores now. Ironic seeing how that’s the reason he got locked up the first time.
Btw who really fails a piss test with all the drugs GNC carries to flush out your system? Im just sayin…ya’ll gotta do better with the rumors…
