So many of you know one of my BFF's from waaaay back is none other tahn budding raptress Nicki Minaj. To say she is on the verge of something amazing would be an understatement. In a time where the story of the quitessential female rapper is downright tragic, Nicki is poised to bless us with an awakening. For every girl that grew up in the 90's and misses the hardcore, sexually empowering, edgy femme fatale spirit of shero's like Lil' Kim, Foxy, Queen Latifah, L- Boogie and even Eve- get ready for the reinvention of the lyrical lush who can tear down her male counterparts without breaking a nail.
But progressive rap enthusiasts, don't fret. Nicki will not "fill the void" instead she will refresh and and reinvent what it is to be a female MC and rap impresario. Her skills are unorthodox and her approach can be described as unique and witty laced of course with sexy innuendos and an overpowering confidence.
I went out to Passaic, NJ for a show she did with Funk Master Flex last week and let me just say...it was sheer pandemonium!!! I mean these kids were Minaj Maniacs!! By the time I arrived, the line out side was was spilling out onto the street. 5-0 was on the scene surveying the madness and trying to keep the peace. Someone was brought out on a stretcher and looked unconscious before the show even got started. Once she arrived we all met up and went in through the back entrance.
When she got on stage, the girls in the front row went insane. They knew every word to her songs and were pushing their way through security to get on stage for her now famous "boob signing" that she does at every show. Flex was on hand to drop some bombs and lend support, plus 106 and Park's Terrance J and Teirra Marie came through to show love.
In all it was a craaaaaazy night and a look at what's to come. Nicki is a superstar!!! I am so proud to call her a friend and all I can say is for all you non-believers and haters you better jump on the band wagon now 'cause she's about to blow!!!
But I'm so glad you found it Whit!!!! Yaaaaaass, Ms. Whitney served it up for the kids. Looking fresh faced and fabulous, the icon sat down with The Big O for a two part interview. It was touching, enlightening and inspirational to say the least. I had a conversation with friends the other day and tried to explain that I identify with women that are honest about their struggles and don't try to mask their flaws or true character. That is Whitney. She really made me proud. Sitting there composed and at peace with who she is, she bared her soul practically and told Oprah and the world what has been going on in her life for the past 7 years.
Bobbay!!! Is a lowdown dirty dog- we knew that.But seriously let's keep it real. Whit was no angel. People assumed she was this prudish, square who was innocently caught in his web of deceit. But those of us who know how real Jersey girls get down-(especially the ones from Newark and East Orange) that Whitney had an edge to her. BUT the problem is, once he and got with her everything she probably did in moderation and handled functionally blew all the way up!!! How many of you know women that smoke a lil' weed and toss back a few just to let their hair down but when they get with the love of their life, before you know it he has them on dope, stealing the silverware and TV's out of their mama's house. Taking it to the NEXT level and spiraling out of control. Whatever depression, anger and issues he was dealing with, she made her own and allowed him to bring her down with him. I'm totally not trying to place the blame on him but as a husband he should've uplifted and supported her.
In any case I'm so glad she is back, but am I the only one who feels that I Didn't Know My Own Strength song is a lil sappy and blah...I love Million Dollar Bill though! It's funny cause at one point Whitney said she never knew what an icon was and never saw herself as the huge figure she had really come to be. I was talking with a friend and said it must've been incredible for someone like her who looked up to Aretha Franklin as the biggest superstar in R & B and then she came right along and broke even more boundaries and took the idea of a pop icon to the next level. And now we have Beyonce who it seems can't get any bigger-or can she. Do you think someone can come along and pick up wherever Beyonce leaves off and become even bigger. Huge question is will Bey ever sit down long enough for someone to take the reigns.... It is interesting to think about. That Whitney interview reminded me of childhood and how I used to love music as a little girl. Thanks for the memories Diva!!! Can't wait to see the comeback kid bask in all her glory and take the world by storm again.
We'll not really. But she most definitely can be attributed to the Don's downfall. I mean what purpose does she serve-really? Yes I KNOW I have no idea about the ins and outs of their relationship and what she "brings" to the table besides good looks. But my thing is Ye dumped Brooke for making him look bad. By her popping off on that infamous Myspace page at the Lipstick Alley girls, she made herself look bad, thus making Kanye look like a fool for dealing with a childish, silly girl. I could see how he went from her to Alexis- a more mature, refined, laid back woman who seemed to mellow him out and be a good balance in his life as his career was steadily taking off.
But this Amber Rose chick.. I mean honestly. I'm not judging her stripping past cause I know alot of solid women that have gone down that route. But when I heard her interview on Shade 45 I was so disappointed. She sounded like a bird!!! She wasn't well spoken, made no profound statements and didn't impress me at all. I found it hard to understand what a person as complex, intelligent, well rounded and gifted as Ye could see in her. That's when my love for him started to wane. Could it be that Ye was guilty like many other men of being lost in the world of money, clothes and hoes and could care less about the statement he was truly making to young Black men in America by his choices?
Let's keep it real, when you really examine the situation, his women have gotten lighter and more exotic looking the further he's gotten into his career. A typical move that many Black men make to solidify their status in society... " All the wavy, lightskinned girls is loving me now..."
Fast forward to Sunday night. I'm no fool. I'm not one of those fans that have blind love and devotion to artists and can't admit their shortcomings and faults. So I knew that all his outbursts were really because he does harbor some insecurities, fears and issues that are masked in arrogance and "swag". But from the start I knew something wasn't right. Walking down the carpet with that big ass bottle of Henny, letting random folks take a swig? Then of course Amber's outfit...I'm sorry but a real fashion enthusiast and proud bf would not let his lady wonder around in that atrocious get up! Shit was trashy-period! Grabbing her ass on the carpet, making out in front of the cameras...it was a mess and spectacle.
Then he went on stage and stole that poor YT girl's moment...DAMN!!! I had people texting and calling me up wanting to know how I was gonna possibly try to defend that. I couldn't...
Last night, Ye revealed his demons to us a bit. Leno asked what his mama woulda thought about that and it seemed as if he had a moment. It was painful to watch. Man! Cindy wasn't lying when she said Money changes everything!!!
In the past 6 years Ye went from being that college drop out that articulated the dichotomy of loving jewels and expensive clothes while understanding how that affinity handicaps us all especially Black folks to an arrogant, obnoxious, angry dare I say it..."celebrity".
All I can say is he aplogized and I hope he does exactly what he says and takes a break to grieve and reflect...
Uhhhh. So I'ma have to try and subscribe to my girl Fresh's motto and ask ya'll to say something nice on account of Brooke being my Soror and all. I mean I simply cannnot. The song is lame and these guys look like they had to clock in at Hardees for the overnoght shift right after filming this.
Shout out to my peeps Derek Jones and Dahveed Jones for directing it! They get an A+ for keeping the hustle alive!
Those of you who know me, know I am in luuuuuub with the Louis Vuitton Don. Now to keep it real, my love has waned recently due to his choice in women and his blatant disrepect for our "relationship". But nonetheless he remains my favorite imaginary Baby Daddy.
The scandal that is Amber Rose has weakened my soul and sent me into a fury many a times but this has definitely taken the cake...
Exhibit T (for Tit)
Why does this bish have to look so great topless on the beach laying next to my man?? Why Lord Why!?!?! Can't front she looks great and that tangerine two piece is fierce. DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!!
Well....atleast I can say...er..umm... that color woulda popped more on my dark brown skin! Hmph! Take that liteskin!!!
But the question of the day is... How Do We Feel About G-Strings on The Beach? I don't know many sistahs that feel comfortable having their cheeks out on display like that. I mean I just feel like G-Strings aren't for your average girl, even if she has the bod to rock it. It almost feels like something someone should put on only if your a celeb or a model...you know like half the stuff Beyonce wears.
In any case do you think G-Strings will be that new new???? Amber already has chicks shaving their heads....
Furthermore is going topless OK? I have to admit when I was in Miami seeing all those YT women parading their chas chas around almost made me envious of their freedom. But I know if I ever pulled these two out, there'd be sheer pandemonium.
In any case ladies let me know if you plan on baring all during your next vaca...
My friend sent me this link to a new R. Kelly song and me thinks he's been messing around with too many grown women lately. I know I'm going to hell but what else could be the reason for this God awful "music?" Obviously teen twat kept his creative juices flowing (pun intended) cause this ish right here....
After listening my friend Eric responded..."Pregnant? Man we in a recession."
My newest soldier in my Army of Standom is none other than Drake....*sigh* Yes I have already stated I will be a cougar for that young buck!!! I mean Wheelchair Ji- Drake is just sooo likeable and talented. He reminds me of Kanye when he first started out. Humble, hungry and genuine. Check out behind-the-scenes video of Drizzy and Trey Songz for Successful. Ohhhhhh I absolutely cannot wait!!! This should be waaaaay better than that travesty of artistic creation also referred to as "The Best I Ever Had" video.
Ye you been on timeout for a minute now and that video only added fuel to the fire....
BTW I love how they joke around about Drake looking towards the girl as he says "Hoes"...funny...
