2009 Rap up

"I cant watch Monique, cuz she yells too much"! LMFAO!! If that aint the realest statement i've ever heard. But enough with that! This will probably be my last post for the year and I think i had a pretty good run: "I've touched on everything but little boys...and thats not a stab at Michael, I'm just Psycho"said Eminem. Terrible line, but clever regardless. Anywho, instead of me wrapping up what happened this wonderful year, take a listen at this rapper. He does this every year and every year dude goes HARD! I'm just gonna be lazy and let his words speak on my behalf. i can honestly say, I agree with him 108%. He lost the other 2% on the Real Housewives of ATL. I dont watch that ish! Happy New Year folks! I'll catch you all on the black hand side!

Throwback Thursday

I didn't realize how raunchy Left Eye's verse was until now! LOL! But regardless, happy holidays, Kwanza, Hanukkah, and my fav: Christmas! Even if Christ was born in May...or June. Hey, he was born right? Alright! Dont judge. Be safe.

I Thought Weezy was the Best?

Ass hole. Jerk. Arrogant. Gay. Rude. These are just a few names that Kanye has been called in the past few months. From his rifts with 50cent, to Taylor Swift, to even President George Bush, this man has done nothing less than make great music. This is why his album was listed as the number one album of the DECADE, by Entertainment Weekly. Now, a lot of you are probably thinking "No the hell it wasn’t". I did too! Especially when I think of the best album I heard over the years, Estelle rings a bell, The Dream, Musiq freakin Soulchild and others have put out spectacular albums! But when you think about it, none were as nearly as risky as the College Dropout. I've mentioned in previous blogs before of how this kid from middle class america just ran to the top of the rap charts faster than a squirl going for that nut! This was unheard of prior to Kanye. Not only were his beat genius, but he had the lyrics and flow of a Mos Def or Common, with lyrics as open and honest as "But I ain't even gon act holier than thou/Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou (thousand)/Before I had a house and I'd do it again/Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz/I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific/I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific/I got a problem with spending before I get it/We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it". Kanye was saying that, when other rappers rapped about how they just love to floss just because. His presense alone has paved the way for artist like Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Big Sean and other rappers who may not come from poverty stricken homes but have the skills of a mad rapper. To Kanye, I say congrats! It's well deserved.

Check out his blog to see what he had to say about this honor:

A few other albums that made the top ten list were Beyonce...I am Sasha Fierce and Jay-Z the Blueprint.

Funny Fridays: C'mon Son

Wanted Wednesdays

So it's a Turkey day week and this is somewhat my funny Friday and Wanted Wednesday in lieu of what I would want tomorrow (Thanksgiving). I saw this on a website a friend sent to me and found it to be hilarious. I've made some changes of my own, but some are still the same. Feel free to read the original Top 10 Celebs Thanksgiving guest wish list.

**These guest (at least my own) are not listed in any particular order.

1.Kanye West – The weird and slightly crazy uncle
Although I absolutely adore Mr. West, if he were my relative I would be rather embarrassed of him. I can see it now: Everyone is going around saying what we're grateful for and he will be the one to remind us that "...after all the Indians did for the pilgrims, they still damn near killed off an entire race! And this is something we should celebrate? White people dont care about black people" Thanks for ruining Turkey day unlce 'Ye!

2.Oprah – The rich, sexually ambiguous aunt
Oprah is the aunt that we all have. Older, well-established, no kids, unmarried and perhaps quite the cougar. The one who would do anything for her nieces and nephews as long as they dont have to stay with her for more than a weekend.

3.Justin Timberlake – The sexy cousin
I dont have any cousins that I wish they were NOT my cousin, but I am aware that some are probably the ish in their respective circles. But if Justin was an adoptive cousin...well...man, I dont know! But regardless, I see him being goofy enough to chill with all the time.

4.Frankie – The “mom”
With Frankie as the matriarch of this family gathering, get ready for some D-R-A-M-A! Man-down! Side note: She is NOTHING, I mean NOTHING like my mom! But dangit, I would LOVE for her to say prayer over dinner!

5.Pops – Pops
Three words…bang, bang, bang! Watch out Frankie!

6. Plies – The bad nephew
Plies plays the role of the troubled nephew. Super smart and intelligent but he doesnt want his peers to know so he has tattoos, multiple baby mamas and trying his darnest to stay out of jail, go to church and get a job.

7.Lauren London – The fast niece
Lauren is your PYT niece, who is as fast as she is cute. You will definitely catch her texting her lil’ boyfriend under the table, trying to plan a way to sneak him in later when everyone’s sleeping. SMH!!

8.Estelle – The aunt who likes”the drank” a lil’ too much
Estelle is the token alcoholic in this gathering. Just keep her away from the rum.

9.Beyonce – The cuter, more successful sister
We can all sympathize with Solange for a moment, because at this dinner Bey is the sister that you know your mom always loved a little more. Make sure you spill some red wine on little-miss-perfect’s designer dress, then floss your $20 outfit for all its worth!

10. The Obamas – The more sophisticated rich cousins
The Obamas would definitely be your well-off family members who moved to Chicago and hardly associate with the rest of you, except for unavoidable occasions like the one at hand. While you bust down a turkey leg with your bare hands, Sasha and Malia look at you in disgust and floss their perfect etiquette.

20 Questions

OH snap! It's one of my favorite segments! I mean really people, this is HARD! Well, not really the questions part because I ask random questions everyday. But the hard part is remembering them or writing them down. I swear I miss an average of one good question a day since I dont write them all. But anywho, here you go:



1.Why do baseball players spit so much?



2. Will Lil Wayne ever drop the "Lil" from his name?



3. Is a Muthaf*cker the same as a M.I.L.F?



4. Why did they pair Zach Morris with the under cover lesbian?



5. And why didn't they continue his and Lisa's relationship?



6. Where in the HELL did Miles Austin come from?



7. Is it Christmas already?



8. Are you still hearing rumors about the Game being picked up on BET?



9. When will us black women just accept the fact it aint coming back?



10. Why are all the Banks kids on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air were biracial in real life?



11. Isn't it about time Diddy changed his name again? Puffy D. maybe?



12.Can white people say "afrodisiac" and not get looked at crazy?



13. Doesn't it hurt a little when you send someone a text and they reply: "who is this"?



14. Is it terrible to think: "Of all the Jacksons, why Michael"?



15. Can you believe Kanye still got album of the decade after all the crap he's done this year?



16. WTF Jermaine?!?


17. Did the Tigers Woods scandal really over shadow Michael Jacksons death?


18. Do people in El Paso (west Texas) call Dallas, East Texas?


19. Please forgive me, but does anyone REALLY care about Brittany Murpheys passing?

20. Who?

Funny Fridays

Usually for Funny Fridays I find a humorous clip of something from YouTube. But I had an incident that happened to me that I thought was rather funny at my own naive expense. Now, this is not "roll on floor laugh your ass off" kind of funny. You may chuckle or you may just simply think "wow". But regardless, I will share with you, MY funny Friday.

So for those of you who don’t know me personally, let me give you some insight about me first which may help you understand my confusion. I stand at a good 5'9 and some change. Almost 5'10 but not quite there. I'm somewhat slender, with a nice pair of hips to match. Ok? Got it? Good! Ok, whether male or female, gay or straight, 80% of conversation starters with me usually begin with how tall I am. The convo could be anything from "Dang! You tall" or " how tall are you?" or the infamous, "Do you play basketball?" Every blue moon I get "do you model", but basketball is apparently all I'm good for even though im not that great of an athlete. Usually I'm always confused by the basketball question. Like, do you mean do I play for a H.S team, a college team, WNBA or just for fun? Like seriously, why is that the first question out of most peoples mouths! I have other talents too! I would be rather handy at a Zoo cleaning Giraffes, but NOOOO! No one ever suggests that. Anywho, so with basketball being the question I get all the time, maybe you can understand where I'm coming from.

So, I'm at getting out the car on the parking lot of my grandmothers apartments when this man in an SUV pulls up.Now, while I'm not wearing a summer dress with heels on, I thought I looked nice. Casual, but still girly. You know, boots, jeans, nice shirt...etc. My hair was even down! But yet this man feels the need to ask "What team do you play for"? Now keep in mind, most men assume that I hoop anyways so of course my innocent mind thought he was talking about hooping. I replied " I don’t play for a team". He paused. "You don’t play for a team?" he asked. "No." I laughed. He then asks, "can I be on your team?". I laughed again and told him to take it easy and have a good one. I walked away.

So, most of you probably got what he was asking right away. I didn’t. But in my defense, that phrase is not common with me. You have NEVER heard me use that phrase to describe anyone. I'm not that politically correct! I'll straight up say he/she is gay, lesbian, carpet muncher, down low, fruity in the booty…whatever comes to mind. Yeah, i may be more wrong than pigs eating ham, but oh well. Plus, I don’t know how that phrase is properly used. For example, if I play for the other team (men) does that mean I LIKE men or does that mean I'm on the mens team and like Women? It's confusing to me.

So anywho, the bright light didn’t go off until later that evening when I was with my boyfriend. We were at dinner and what happened that evening crossed my mind. Just as I was about to tell him what happened, it clicked! "OH! Ok! THAT'S what he meant! Duh". I told my bf and he felt the same way. Like I should have known. But again, I don’t use that phrase a lot and of course with the term "team" being thrown in there, I thought he seriously meant basketball! Oh well! That was my funny moment! Don’t you dare judge me!

**P.S. I'm still not sure what team you would classify me with, but it's the team that likes men!

Throwback Thursday:Get By

"We commute to computers/Spirits stay mute while your egos spread rumors/We're survivalists, turned to consumers/Just to get by...just to get by"
This is the first song that I recognized by Kanye West that I fell in love with. He produced this track and i thought it (and the artist, Kweli) was dope. But I really didnt know much about either one. All i can remember thinking when i heard the song for the first time was how dope the beat was and wondering who produced it. So now when I hear this song, it reminds me of that old Savage Garden song with the lyrics along the lines of "I knew I loved you before I met you". Thats the way i obviously felt about Kanye.

Forever:Travis Barker remix

Why is this man still out! He should be put in jail for this! Watch what he does during Lil Waynes and Eminems verse! Dudes arms should have fallen off by now! This is super HOT!!!

I should have dropped out of college

Yeah, I said it and I meant it! I should have dropped out! Or I should have gone to another school, even if it meant transfering with 12 hours left to graduate. I say this because while I'm grateful to have a good, 401k, insurance paying, opportunity to grow job in these tough economic times, I would so much rather be doing something else with my life. BUT, I am a slave to a car! Yes, a car I bought is the ONLY reason why I continue to stay in this state of contentment. But that’s really not the point. So I'm watching this documentary with black folks and for the life of Michael Jackson, I cannot remember what that ish was about! My brain had just shut the fudge off after I heard Keenan Ivory Wayans say something along the lines of "I begged my father to let me drop out of college to pursue my film dreams. He kept telling me to finish so that I can have something to fall back on. But if I HAD something to fall back on, I wouldn’t have tried as hard". Damn it! That's me! That's freaking me! I have allowed this freaking degree to be a crutch! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm funny as hell (and that’s me being modest) and I should be trying my best to be doing stand up or improv or something to utilize my artistic genius! But I am not trying hard enough because I honestly feel I don’t have to. I have a degree to fall back on. So once I DO decide to try something, my attention span that is as big as an 8 year old at a candy store kicks in and I usually push it to the side. Now, to give myself some credit, I really didn't have any plans of working in the film industry until I was probably a junior/senior in college. By that time, I felt like I made it too far in my education to quit or transfer. I should have just bit the bullet and did it. Now, I do finance for the man! Finance?! I went my whole college life avoiding majors and minors to not take math classes and now i work in finance?! What the hell?! So now, I just have to consciously push myself and as much I prefer not working with others, I need to work with others to keep me focus. There's not too much I can do now about this damn degree. I have it. Great. Whoopty doo! But I hope when I have children, IF they show a real passion in something, I hope I can remember this blog and let them pursue whatever it is they feel. You know, lets say my child is like Pharrell Williams. Been in band since the 7th grade, produced beats all through high school and maybe sells a beat to the school rapper for 100 bucks, I'll cut him/her a deal: "Hey, if you wanna skip school for a while, fine. But you will work and if your business is not picking up within the next 4-6 years, then you go back to school". Because the truth is, you are NEVER too old to go back to school but you can be too old or have too many responsibilities to start your life over just to follow a dream. So what's the rush to get a degree in four years to only have a job (not career) that you are not really passionate about and that damn degree wasn’t even needed for that job?! Now, this is not to offend anyone in school or to knock anyone elses degree or lack thereof. This is just the way i feel about a degree pursued and not being used. Some of you may understand. Some of you have a degree in the arts and yet you have found yourself working in corporate America because the arts just dont pay the bills...at least not right out of school it doesn't. And for those of you of are living your dreams: I applaud you! I know that ish is not easy and your drive is highly admired by me. But I sooo get Kanye's College Drop out skits now!! LOL! This degree is merely a piece of paper that aint even paid for yet!! But this is not a sad story people. I have some things in the works right now and I am collaborating with others and hopefully having 3-5 people on my back to get something done will help me go ahead and get that ish done! Good night!

You can drink, smoke crack and not vote, but dont you dare judge me!

Makes me feel like a kid again

Shots like this are just absolutely amazing to me. I could just stare at something like this all day. Just an FYI for those of you who may not know, astronomy was my first real love for anything. My interest was sparked around the age of 9. I randomly learned a few things about a few planets and from there i was hooked. Please dont judge what i call beauty!

Funny Fridays: Roseanne's dad dies

I know the title sounds like the last funniest thing on Earth, but watch this! This is the funniest Roseanne clip ever!!! Dont you dare judge me!

The Tulips: Jermaine "JD" Dupri

So way back when I started a segment called the kid Honors. That was fine and dandy, but I would rather give flowers. You know the saying “Only the dead gets flowers”. I would like to change that up and give flowers to the artist I honor. Since roses are cliché and I don’t have a favorite flower, I’m just going to go with Tulips. No reason. That’ll just be my thing.


“This is so, so def!” Those are a few words that most of us are no strangers to. As a matter of fact, we know the owner of this saying just as well as we know Kanye or Timbaland. But why doesn’t Jermaine “JD” Dupri get the respect I think he deserves. Truthfully speaking, he is not my favorite producer, but when you look at the list of songs and artist he’s produced, he ranks just as high as the Neptunes or even higher! JD has been in the music business most of his life and started out with the popular and still very well know Kris Kross! Now, I know some producers don’t respect him (Dr.Dre “Over 80 million records sold and I aint have to do it with 10 & 11 year olds) because he has become known as a super producer for Bow Wow and Kriss Kross, but take a small peak at the artist he as worked with: Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and Usher to name a few. All prominent artist who most younger acts want to be like. Hell, even Sprite wants to be like the So So Def mascot! JD has had hit after hit and he never (in my opinion) gets the credit he deserves! So here’s some Tulips to you JD!

Throwback Thursday: U Dont Have to Call

This is NOT my favorite Usher song, but my favorite Usher video! He is a wonderful dancer and that is about the only time I find him attractive. I can pass Usher on the corner and would NOT blink twice unless he was dancing!! I especially love the part at the end where he glides across the floor (4:51 mark) with his then unknown heeleys on! So dope! Anywho, enjoy!

Wanted Wednesdays

I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m soooooo SORRY! I have no reason to not have been writing my blog on a regular basis. Well, I kind of do, but over a month? That’s just ridiculous! So here and now, I promise to at least post a blog once a week. Just don’t be mad at me if its something easy like Throwback Thursdays or Funny Fridays! LOL! Anywho, welcome back to wanted Wednesdays!

So for most of you who may know me or THINK you know, you probably don’t know how much of fragrance connoisseur I am! Oh yes, this is real! Usually when I go out and can plan an outfit in my head days, hours or minutes before I go out. But when it comes to which fragrance I wear, that could be my last contemplating decision. I've had over 4 perfumes at a time and that drained me! So now, I try to keep between 2-3 scents. Fragrances are so unique in how you can wear them. There are springy/summery scents and there are fall/wintery scents. You can NOT wear the same fragrance year round. I mean, I guess there are a few that can work either way, but I like to change it up. As I’ve grown into an adult I know HOW to pick the right perfume for me. Remember, the same perfume does not smell the same on each person. You must know what works for you! I’m not the type to just buy whatever is advertised. I take my time with it like a virgin on prom night. I bathe before I go shopping and if something smells good on paper, I’ll ask the person helping me to spray on one of my wrist or neck. I will walk around ALL day sniffing myself until I know for sure, “Yes. I can walk around with this scent for 4-6 hours for several months. Now, I’m a little late with this because I did get the fragrance seen above for my birthday about a month ago. And another thing: gift or not, perfume has no price limit. If it smell that damn good on me, I will buy it no matter the cost! The red bottle of Christian Audigier is the perfume for women and as you can guess the blue bottle is for men. I rarely care what the bottle looks like, but doesnt this just scream royalty...or crown royal?? I love this smell. It’s perfect for the cold season. It’s soft when just wearing to the office, but like the deodorant, it gives off a stronger smell when my body tempature heats up. So this is ideal for a dinner, clubbing, or a passionate night in with your significant other. Now, please don’t think I bought this perfume for the name. That can get you into trouble. I’ve worn perfumes that I wasn’t too fond of the name but I can honestly say, they were probably my favorite scents.

Not that you care but here are a list of perfumes I’ve worn over the years. Keep in mind I've been wearing perfume since maybe the 8th or 9th grade. Some perfumes I've worn longer than others. I never was too fond of that body spray stuff the other girls were buying at Walmart or Bath & Body Works. I’ve only come across one that I didn’t like. But I had to wear it since my brother bought it for me. He has since been told to never buy me perfume again without my discretion.

Tommy Girl - worn for about 2 years

Curve -worn for about 3 years
Candies -2 years worn
Lucky You -2 years

Mambo -1 year(bday gift..didnt like at first but it grew on me)

Paris Hilton -hmm maybe a little over a year
J.Lo Live -2 years
J.Lo Live Luxe -Probably my favorite to this DAY! About 3 years
Escada (Sunset Heat)-one year

Escada (Moon Sparkle) -one year

Beyonce True Star (The worst I’ve worn, EVER) -ugh! Tried to get rid of in a few months

Guess Gold -one year
Ed Hardy -one year

Throwback Thursday

So neccessary! Enjoy!

Funny Fridays: no Homo

Everytime I watch this I come to tears! Funniest thing ever! This phrase is SOOOOO played out!

Disgusting!

Before reading any further, please understand that this blog does not have a happy ending, nor a bad one. It is what it it. Nothing really gets resolved and there is not answer at the end. Its just me getting something off my chest!

Have you ever just felt complete disgust for yourself? It may have been something you said (cursed out a good fried) or did (one night stand), but you just really kind of let yourself down. Beat yourself up maybe? My absolute disgust came to me while spending time on my beloved facebook. So a friend of mine had something on her status along the lines of “Don’t mess with a girls heart and her money”. Without second guessing, I seconded that notion with a quote from Lauryn Hill: “never underestimate those who you scar cuz, karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard”! Now, the disgust is not on the surface of what I said, but from the heart in which it came from. It is not a secret that I without a doubt love hip hop! You can toss out any hot line and I can probably in 10 seconds or less give you the artist, album and song title from which that quote came from. Now, I don’t think it’s a secret either that I love God, but why is it a quote from the Bible didn’t come just as quick…or at all for that matter? Instead of the L.Boogie quote couldn’t I have just spat out Galation 6:7 with ? Instead of quoting Jay-Z, "A wise man told me dont argue with fools,because people from a distance can't tell who is who." Why cant I just quote Provervs 18:2? Who is Ms. Hill for me to quote? Who the heck is this Jay-Z dude for me to quote so fluently? Sure, I can quote some words from the Bible, but not only can I not always tell you what scripture it came from, but I probably couldn’t even tell you the book or whether it was the new or old testiment! Shameful!! I know my own laziness is why I can’t quote these scriptures, but does that make it any better? It’s not like the language in the Bible is too hard for me to comprehend. If I can understand Lil Wayne’s verse on T-Pain’s “Can’t Believe it”,I should be able to understand King James! Standing in the face of God when he ask me why I cant quote his scriptures am I any better than the car theif who keeps getting caught and answering to the judge every 6 months? No, not really. I know better just as much as they do, but that doesn’t stop me. Sure, I have my moments when life gets so hard that I read the Bible everyday for a week or a month or two, but how long does that last? How long does that really last before I just start leaving my Bible in the car so it’s there the one day a week (Sunday) I decide to crack it open? God knows my heart, but that doesn’t help. If anything I think it’s worst. Sometimes I wish I never came to this realiztion because if I’m really honest with myself to say I will do better is…well, I don’t know what it is. Will I actually buckle down and put it into action or will I just write this in vain? Again, this doesn’t really have a happy ending or words to encourage to do better, just venting on stuff that really bothers me…to some point right? Not enough to really change right? Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!! Pray for the Kid!

Throwback Thursday: Sittin Up In My Room

Brandy hasn't really been hot lately. I'm starting to ask "Is that Ray J's sister"? LOL! Just kidding folks! This is still one of my ALL time favorite songs! If you saw me riding solo in my car listening to this, you probably would have thought I wrote the damn song myself! Enjoy!

Aaliyah

I really couldn't think of a non cliché way to start this blog w/out sounding cheesey. "Aaliyah, she was one in a million" or " I miss you, baby gir". So, I'm just going to keep it one hundred. Aaliyah passed away 8 years today and most would say she passed too soon. But hey we all have our calling, right? Is it better that we live to be 84 and not do a damn thing with our life or live to the tender age of 22 loved by millions because of your ground breaking artistry and not tabloids and mess? Not to take anything away from "baby girl" (as Timbaland called her) but we should all live our life for a purpose and not just to work and be seen. Aaliyah was heavily involved in the change of music that we hear today. If it wasn't for her taking a chance on new producers, Timbaland and Miss E. Elliiot music would probably still have that new jack swing sound. In her memory I will play one of her most memerable songs, preceeded by a predictable statement: Aaliyah, you were truly one in a million. Deuces!

I get it from my mama...or grandma

Why do some people want to have children? Now, not "want" children in the manner you accidentally got knocked up so you're having this kid; but WANT as in this was planned!! Do you feel you have too much time and money to spend on yourself, so you spend it on a child? Do you want someone to love you beside your now deceased goldfish (RIP Walter)? Seriously, why do some people want kids??? I know why I want to have kids: I just want to see a person running around that looks at acts like me. If I have to feed them, so be it, but I really just want to see another part of me. So, I'm talking to my mom and aparently I do things like my grandmother and I don't even realize it. For example, everyone in my family knows not to tell Bigmama ( my grandma) when they ate something good because she thinks (and its possibly true) that she is the worlds greatest cook and whatever you had, she can make it better!! Now, that doesn't sound like a prob, but it can get annoying. "Oh, you had a blackberry cobbler? Bring me some blackberries and I'll make you one". It's kinda, like, Bigmama, just leave it alone. But the other day I decided to do some cooking. It was good and I was getting compliments across the board. So of course I started feeling myself. So I kept walking around asking, "Hey, do you think I can make this better than such and such". After hours of doing that, my mom was like, "you're just like your grandmother". Damnit! She was right! LOL! So, I've compiled a list of all my personalities and trates that I think I get from certain members of my family.

My cooking abilities-both grandmama's

The reserved way I carry myself-Mother

My "skies the limit, sometimes naïve, optimistic view"-Father

Road rage-Father

Frugal with my money-Bigmama (grandma on mothers side)

Maintaining GREAT credit-Mother

Timely and usually early (Annoyed to the point of anger from being late) -Father

Sarcastic humor-Father

My "eff what they're doing, I walk to the beat of my own drum"-Father & grandmother (on mothers side)

My arrogance (or very sure of myself when i'm good at something)-Father, Bigmama

My conspiracy theory train of thoughts and always questioning the "man"-Father

I'll give you my last-Father

Make you very aware when you piss me off-Father

Hard on the outside, but a sensitve person on the inside-Father

Creativeness-Father

Most likely to cut my husband if he ever does me wrong-Muff (grandma on fathers side)

Rarely judging because I always see both sides of the story-Father

Wow! Didn't realize how much of my dad I was like! Until I did this, now I see why my mom always says, "you're crazy, just like your dad!" LOL! This was rather fun. I think you should too do the same or at least think about your traits and where they come from. It's the closest thing to ancestry.com without the fees.

Who do you get your traits from???

Just watch it!

OMG! Watch the whole, whole thing. The ending is freaking awesome!!

Funny Fridays

Only a genius of a comedian can do what this man did with Seasame Street! This is freaking hilarious! Enjoy! Hope this sends you off right for the weekend!

Getcha Some

"Athiest turn Christian when I rock my True Religions" are just a few bars or one liners from Big Sean. I told you about this kid a couple of months ago. Again, I think he has very much potential to be one of the better lyricist in the rap game. I wasn't too fond of this single, but I guess it is the most radio/106 & Park friendly song on his mix tape. The video is cool, but dude is waving his hands way too much. It's for the special effects, but still, too much. Anywho, look out for Kanye making his co-sign cameo in the video.

**If you want to hear more from Big Sean, you can download his two mix tapes from his website.

Throwback Thursday

With all the crap going on these days, these are some "days of our lives" we will ALWAYS remember! Keep your head up and whatever you do, dont you dare judge!

VERY INSPIRATIONAL!!!!

Do you have any doubts, questions or concerns about what you should be doing with your life? Take a listen at this speech by my favorite band geek, Pharrell Williams.

20 Questions

Oh snap! It's everyones favorite blog segment: 20 Questions! Ok, maybe it's just mine. Now that VIBE magazine is out of pocket, I guess it's left up to me to satisfy the serious and rhetorical questions that need to be answered…sort of. As mentioned before, this aint easy!

Double Standards

It amazes me how when things don’t go our way, we’re quick to say “Life’s not fair”, when in reality, it’s rather fair. For example, a college graduate getting drafted in the NBA for $30 million for 2 years injuring his knee and never making the first game would say "life is not fair". Actually, it is. Crap happens in life. That’s very fair. That’s in the rules of life to happen. God allowed that to happen. I believe the phrase “life’s not fair” is applicable, but not limited to double standards. Double standards are NOT fair. They can be changed, but the chances of that happening is unlikely. Here are a few life double standards that truly makes life, “unfair”.

The first double standard is the one most of us learned when we were kids: Boys don’t hit girls. Now of course no one should be hitting anyone (whether it’s girl hits girl, boy hits boy or girl hits boy). Violence is not what’s hot in the streets. Yet, when a girl hits a boy she is told to stop. When a boy hits a girl, he is told to stop and that boys shouldn’t hit girls. It sucks, I know. This boy is now learning that if a girl hits him, he shouldn’t do anything. Now, I know some ladies will say, it doesn’t hurt men when you hit them. True, it may not hurt, but the shit gets old! For example, mothers. There is nothing physically painful about your child constantly yelling, “Mom! Mom! Mama! Mama! Mother! Mother!” But after a while you get annoyed and you probably yell at the kid to stop. I picture this being the same for a man that’s constantly getting slapped in the face. (and for the record, their face may start to sting) But what is a man to do? If you see a woman and a man arguing outside and the woman is constantly pushing him, verbally abusing him and slapping his chest, you’ll stare for a few seconds and think “Damn, she tearing his ass a new one” or “ Damn, that bitch is crazy” but either way all you do is watch. Let a man slightly push a woman and some other girl is calling the cops while that one guy runs over to say, “Say, dog! You can’t be hitting on no female”. Now this man is on his way to jail for something that “crazy bitch” may have provoked. I am not at all saying men should be allowed to hit women, but I think when it comes to violence, the consequences should be equal. But it’s not, because when talking about double standards, life's not fair.

This next double standard is something I’m very familiar with: racial jokes. I hate to say this and no I don’t think it’s right, but white people can not make fun of black people. I’m not sure why this double standard is, but I’m sure it has something to do with that whole slavery, racist civil rights thingy. If you’ve been to even one comedy show or seen one on tv with mostly black comedians and a black audience, for some reason there is always that one white couple who wants to sit up front. I don’t know why they do this, but they do. I think you already know where I’m going with this one. There is a 90% chance a black comedian will get on stage and use every stereotype they can find about this white couple. They will say the mans name is “Brad” and make fun of his dancing, speech, walk and sex life all in 2 mins. Then they will call out “Becky”, give her a valley girl accent and swear up and down that she wants a big black d…man in her life! All while this is going on the crowd his laughing to tears at these petty cheap jokes, while the couple just sits there red and uncomfortable. But lets flip it. Lets say a white man calls out a black couple. How they’re names must be Tyrone and LaNeisha, they love fried chicken and Tyrone pants wont stay up. While these statement could possibly be true, Al Sharpton and Ricky Smile are now leading a protest outside the comedy club and calling this man out on Fox 4 News. Now, it’s not impossible for whites to talk about blacks. IF you watch Family Guy, you know that they gets their two cents in. But it’s a “cult” rapport that has been built over time. If a white comedian has been accepted and embraced by the black community (and by embraced I mean, this white person has been declared “black” by another African American. Like what Bill Clinton was to blacks before Barack) he too can MAYBE get away with the racial comments. But overall, white people just shouldn’t do it. Especially in public. I know it sucks because black can and will say whatever they want. But whites must be careful of what you say if you want to keep Al Sharpton out of this. Life’s not fair, eh?

The last double standard is one that has personally been bothering me for a while: Fat Bitches. Now, already you’re thinking I’m being mean, but why? Over weight women are constantly calling women smaller than them, “skinny bitches”. It’s funny. It’s cute. We laugh. I get it! But why cant a thin woman make fat women jokes? Is it because since big women really do want to be thin, it’s ok because it’s more flattering than mean? Bull shit! So what some woman is thinner than you, that doesn’t mean she wants you calling her a a skinny bitch and cracking jokes. Now don't get me wrong, if a woman is over weight that means nothing! I have seen some gorgeous plus size women. I mean, if you're gonna be BIG, be beautiful. But honestly being big can no way possibly be what that is! There is nothing cute about being unhealthy and out of breath all the time! But regardless, we all know that women are EXTREMELY insecure. While you may see this woman as a “skinny bitch”, that bitch may feel uncomfortable because she was born with a flat chest. Now, to be honest I don’t consider myself to be skinny nor fat but this issue arose when I was doing stand up comedy. I had this idea for a wonderful joke about fat women, but when I thought about my audience, I would have gotten jumped on my way to the car if I told this joke. Now, I wouldn’t dare tell the joke to be mean or make a mockery of plus size women, but damn it, a good joke is a good joke! But we all know women of certain sizes cant make fun a plus size women(Maybe I should start back doing stand up and be the pioneer of skinny bitches taking their life back…nah! I’m not skinny and I would get my ass beat)! It’s all good though. IT’s a double standard….Life’s just not fair.

I'm Fat!

Ok. So this is a combo of "throwback Thursday" and "Funny Fridays"! Me and my brother used to LOVE this video when we were kids! Even now as an adult when I watch it, it's STILL funny! And for you judgemental critics, this was NOT negative stab at Michael. Al actually called the king himself and MJ thought it would be a great idea! So now you enjoy as MJ did! Dueces!

Drake: Best I ever had (revised)

"Shout out to Kanye for directing this awesome video!"

That was all I had to say about this video when I originally posted it, but I was wrong and was politely checked by one of my readers. Now, before I tell you how I REALLY feel about the video let me first explain why I labeled it "awesome" in the first place: The truth is, I just saw a new video by a hot new artist that was directed by my favorite artist so of course I assumed it would be nothing less than superb. I did NOT watch the video in its entirety before posting and calling it "awesome". For this, I do apologize. I have a good hand full of you loyal readers and the last thing I want to do is loose my credibility. I was wrong. Now, from what I understand, Drake and Kanye were in the studio working on a song and Kanye starts throwing out ideas for a video for this song and Drizzy just loved the idea. Now, I'm sure on paper it sounds like a great idea, but Ye just wasn't able to execute. I could definitely see where he was trying to go with the video, but he just took the wrong car to the red carpet. His intentions were good, but Drake should have went with a pro. Personally I think the video would have been good if it were simple and just sounded like the song. You know, him basically just spitting game to his dame, hitting the mall or chilling at the crib playing Guitar Hero. The video isn't just HORRIBLE, but it looks like something I could have done...with my little ass camera and my basic editing system. So if I were to rate this video on a scale of one to four, it's gets a fair 2. I still think Kanye is one of the more creative artist out there, but he just needs to step his directing game up and not try new things with new promising artist. But I'm not judging...much.

The King: HE IS MUSIC

It has been said that Jay-Z is the greatest rapper of all time, but that statement can be challenged. It has been said that Whitney Houston is the greatest vocalist of all time. Aretha Franklin fans would beg to differ. But no one would question the statement that Michael Jackson IS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME! NO ONE! If they do, they are damn fools. Now, this blog or article is not to recap MJ’s accomplishments because we all just about know that. I want to bring some insight on him how he influenced the world, his youthfulness and his “blackness” and of course, obviously music.

            I’m going to start with his blackness. First, of all, aside from skin tone, I’m not sure what makes a person black or white for that matter, but for year’s people has questioned MJ’s identity. Now, we all know that MJ was black for sure. But once he was affected with the disease vitiligo, people thought he was trying to be “white”. I honestly don’t know. Maybe. But don’t you recall him wearing gloves on his hand ALL THE TIME? Now, while he made it a fashion, he could have been covering up the blotches he had. We all know Michael was not too comfortable with his appearance (as a lot of us are). He’s had several nose jobs to prove this. Now, you’re probably thinking about his hair! Boo! Some men just love having long straight hair. Hell, Snoop Dogg walked around with curls in his head and no one thought he was gay or trying to be a woman. Prince wear freaking heels, eye shadow and pants with his ass out! But any Prince fan will tell you he is as straight as 6 o’clock. So we got all the physical attributes to him trying to be “white” out of the way, what about the people around him. Think of any, any, any MJ video. The cast is either diverse or his main lady is black. Not to say there would be anything wrong with him having a white woman or Asian woman in his video, but that would only had fuel to the fire. He has done concerts with Jay-Z and according to Rev. Al Sharpton; he was the only celebrity who has claimed to look up to James Brown to actually show up to his funeral. MJ never got too big (in his head) to pay homage to those he adored. Yall saw him at the 2003 BET Awards. So all in all, whatever MJ was going through, I don’t think he had a problem being black or being around blacks. Take into consideration he grew up when things were still segregated early in his life. Maybe he thought blacks had it too hard and felt that if he were white people would treat him better. You just never know what’s going on in a person’s head. If he DID feel the need to bleach his skin and straighten his hair, it was his prerogative! Besides, only a black man can say, “that ain’t my baby” through song.

            Now, before I gave it any real thought, I was one of those arrogant hip hop heads who claimed rap is the reason why all cultures can co-mingle. But now, that’s just a fat ass lie! Prior to MJ, there was “black” music, “white” music and Disco. But when MJ stepped off the stage with his brother to a platform so high, HE brought people together with his music. Something that Oprah and President Obama should credit him for. People from Ethiopia, to Asia, to England to Brooklyn to Houston all had one thing in common: their love for MJ. Now, you may read over that and think nothing of it, but seriously, come one now. People will disagree over political views, religious views and different morals and values, but for everyone to like the same music? That’s a pretty big deal. HE broke down color barriers! People didn’t look at him and say, “He’s black and he’s good”. They just saw a GREAT entertainer who could bring people to tears with his presence alone. Now, I’m not saying he’s Christ like, but…ok, lets put it this way: The day he died, according to AT&T, 65,000 text were sent PER SECOND! That didn’t even happen with our first black president! And I’m not trying to take anything from President Obama, but he nor hip-hop is not the sole reason why black and whites can share a common ground.

 

            We all know that Michael was forced to grow up too damn fast and for that, I think that explains a lot of his “issues”. But not all. The dude was definitely a genius and geniuses have their issues! Even Einstein was so genius he did not want to wear clothes because in his head that was not important enough to even waste brain cells thinking about. He was inventing formulas that some of us still can’t solve! But MJ always had love for the youth. You could see it in his home, the people he hung around and his child like behavior. But I don’t think it was ALL because he was young at heart but because of his genius. Sometimes when you’re different, we as adults judge and say “ You’re 25 and you should dress like this. You should act like this. You should enjoy this”. No! MJ was who he was and aside from his managers, publicist and the media only one group of people didn’t’ pass judgment on him: Children. Children and their innocents is a beautiful thing and I can see why Michael enjoyed being around them. He could be himself and they would not look at him as if he was crazy or stupid.

            My mom’s generation loved, Elvis, Marvin, The Commodores, and Aretha. My generation loves Bobby Brown, TLC, R.Kelly and Aaliyah. My little cousin’s generation loves Miley Cyrus and Soulja Boy. But all generations love MJ! That honestly doesn’t’ make sense. How is it that so many artists can be put in categories and be a part of a generation but this one man has influenced everyone I named after Aretha? Michael was never a vulgar artist, except through dance but his songs carried more meaning than we could ever imagine. Black or White, You are not  Alone, and the socially conscious hit, Man in the Mirror. His dancing was like no other has ever seen before. Watching him perform is mesmerizing. The way he glides across the floor or the way he pop’s his body at every rhythm of the song. And in all this greatness that I think he KNEW he embodied, he still remained humbled at heart.

            I truly hate the last 15 years of Michael Jackson’s life was spent in court, torture, media lies and exploitation of him but regardless while MJ will probably continue to be the source of pun of jokes, he will always be respected, admired, imitated, and loved! Now, when you think about it: Isn’t that way ones life after death should be?

Throwback Thursdays

When these girls first came on the scene, they swept the country away because we had never seen anything like it! It was like the supremes (minus the great vocals) meets Public Enemy. You had girls singing and rapping in baggy clothes but also presenting a message through their music. They are and will always be music icons in my eyes!

Teenage Pregnancy:Why?

For years the question of why teenage girls, especially those in the urban community, continue to get pregnant even when knowing the consequences, has been irking my friends and me for a while now. Actually to the point of where I felt the need to do a documentary on teenage pregnancy. Now, of course, we are not judging, but it jingle jangles our minds that a young girl would think it’s “cool” or “ok” to have a kid or sex for that matter while in high school. Now, if you ask the average closed-minded person the reason for this, it would be because most young black girls don’t have a father in the home and they’re just looking for attention from a man. We all know this is sad and true, but I cannot accept this as the only answer. Or if you ask my grandmother, it’s because these young girls don’t go to church. I probably would have accepted these “answers” alone if I didn’t see teenagers in my own church with fathers who were prominent members of the church get knocked up before the age of 18. And when I say prominent, I mean, deacons, elders (haven’t caught the preachers daughter yet, but she’ll get her turn. LOL! Ok, bad joke. Bad joke) bishops and whatever other role that not just another member of the church, respectively. These girls went to church WAY more than my usually every Sunday or every other Wednesday night. So, this fact can hush up any theory of girls from broken homes or girls who weren’t raised in the church are likely to get pregnant. This weekend, I thought about my sexual experiences from high school to today and the reason hit me and I think my theory could stand up in the trial of  “ fatherless, non-Christian, urban girl VS not getting knocked up”.

            The truth is, we all know sex before marriage just aint right. But as humans we have needs. And ladies we’ve all been there. Imagine this: You’re 17. You’re with the hottest guy you know. He’s actually showing YOU some attention. Not that other “miss thang” who thinks she is just “too cute, boo boo”, but he’s with you! He’s “really interested” in what you have to say and he actually thinks you’re funny. So next thing you know you two are “fencing” with your tongues, the panting gets heavier and all of sudden his brush is digging into your rib! Oh snap! You realize that aint his brush in his pocket and that aint hair gel in your Hanes cotton underwear! I guarantee, for most girls the last thing on their mind in this situation is their father or even Jesus. I mean, it’s on their mind, but this feeling is much stronger, so you continue letting him “brush your hair”  until you reach that…”ah”.  Now this description wasn’t aimed at urban girls without fathers. This is the average teenage girl. All teenagers (and women) just want to be desired. No matter where you live or if dad is a few feet away or few child support payments away.

             So let me take you to the other side of the tracks. The “good” side.  Rebecca (Becky) does live with both parents. Becky is dating Connor, the captain of the water polo team. Becky and Connor both come from families with a good financial background. Both get an allowance. Both have insurance so they both go to the doctor when needed. Now that we got the background check, let’s fast forward to the junior prom. They both already done mixed the “paint brush” with the “wet paint”. That’s a done deal. They are both satisfied with the out”come”. LOL! Anywho, even though they did use a new pack of Trojans condoms, Connor didn’t know how to put it on properly so of course, Becky is now pregnant. She doesn’t mind keeping the baby, but her mothers finds this to be a disgrace and Connors parents would be damned if that kid came between their sons water polo scholarship to Duke. So both parents agree, the baby would be aborted and that Becky will get her fast ass on birth control. The patch (just so her ass wouldn’t forget). End of story.

            You can probably figure out what’s going on on the other side of the tracks. Monique (Nikki) lives with her 3 little brothers and mom who worked as an assistant mgr at KFC with no insurance. She loved her kids dearly and made sure they were at the community church WEEKLY! Nikki meets up with Jabari during third period in one of the practice rooms in the band hall. Now, Jabari does have an old magnum Trojan that his big brother gave him 2 years ago for his 14^th birthday that he’ll use. But after he beats her drum with his drumstick, he still doesn’t realize that the condom broke. Oh, but you bets believe Nikki told him she was 2 football games late of her period. He didn’t care. By then he moved on to the next band girl, LaTiqua (pronounced Luh-Tee-Kuh). Nikki’s mom was devastated. She would have aborted the baby, but that would have taken the families dinner money for the month. So she figured, she’d keep the baby because it would love her and it would bring in some extra money from the government to help her family survive. And since they didn’t have insurance for birth control, Nikki was soon pregnant again by graduation.

            Now, you’re probably thinking, “Dang Kid!! That was harsh!” Maybe, but that’s society. I refuse to believe that only urban girls are out having sex. But I do believe due to their financially status and lack of resource for safe protection, they are likely to get pregnant and keep the baby. This is sad, but these are facts. Those with more money are likely to either abort a baby, adoption or have the revenue for the right sources to prevent this from happening. So in conclusion, it’s not girls without fathers, per se. It’s horny girls everywhere, but those with more financial stability can make better choices.  Regardless of what you may think, “What you eat, doesn’t make me shit”, so don’t you dare judge.

Really this time: Paranoid

My 100th blog!!!

Thank you for congratulating me on my one hundredth blog! This has not been easy, nor would I have made it this far if it wasn’t for my 3-4 loyal readers! Thanks to you! I’ve been racking my brain on what would be an awesome 100th blog and it finally hit me. I’ve decided to give you my favorite 10 blogs and a little insight on the inspiration for each blog. I also thought about doing my 10 worst blogs, but why would I do that? It may have been crap to me, but it may have meant something to you; the reader. So please take time to review my favorite blogs. Oh yeah, I seriously considered a video blog for the big 1-0-0, but I’m not ready to show my face to the internet world.

10. Jay-Z Did It-This blog gets special recognition for two reasons: First, it’s my first blog…sort of. And also it’s a scary twisted conspiracy theory. Not too many of you will even get this, but if you consider yourself a hip hop head, you may agree with me. I just came up with this “theory” after listening to several Jigga songs and my mind just went off. But again, if this idea got into the wrong hands, I could probably be in deep manure!

9. Gay: To be or not to be- This blog was sparked by the obvious title. I just wanted to give my point of view on whether people choose to be gay or if they’re born that way. As you can see, I can give no definite answer, but I think I bring up some interesting points.

8. Marge Simpson is Creole- Who knows where my mind was when this came to mind. I seriously can’t recall. I know for sure I was watching the Simpson and I think I noticed Marge went from curly hair to straight hair. I then remembered her last name was Bovier. From there on out you could not convince me that Marge is not Creole. Many have listened to my points and facts and while not one person has agreed I was right, everyone did admit everything I said was true. So why the denial?

7. Honor Music-This one is simple as well. Music is the driving force of anything I do. I must have it when I’m driving, drinking, working or whatever. I had to blog about my passion for music. Yeah, I had to.

6. I am Art- You ever hear artist (especially rappers) say they just poured their heart into an album? How vulnerable they were and how hard it was to get what they said out on wax? Well, this blog is like that. I do not nor have I ever considered myself a poet. But one day when I realized how complex I really was, the only thing that came to mind was this poem. I seriously just started thinking to myself and this is what came out. It was all of me, my heart and soul. It took a lot of courage for me to put this out there like that, so I hope you enjoy!

5. Twenty Questions- This one is in the top 5 because of it’s top 20. As mentioned in the blog I stole this idea from Vibe magazine, but the questions are all mine. It is not easy to come up with 20 questions, but I thoroughly enjoy doing so and this was my first, so of course I love it more than the other 20 questions blogs.

4. What Women Want- I just answered the question that seems to be such a great mystery. And I think I did a damn good job! The truth is trying to know what women want is like trying to be God. You can not know everything. But if there is a special someone you want to know more about, that do just that! Get to know her; not the species in which she is a part of.

3. Bootleggin Girls- “Militance, innocence, insight, listen to God, then write. Since my birthday I’ve been tight!” rapped Cee-Lo. That is what happened to me with this blog. I read something that sparked an idea, but where that idea went, I have no clue. I can honestly say this is one of those moments when I just “let go and let God”. I just reread this blog today, but if you were to ask me everything that was written a week ago, well, I couldn’t tell you. I basically blacked out when writing it. And the response I got from it was over whelming too! I received a lot of love for this blog that I was not used to.
“But since I’ve been granted the power of choice, let God be the voice he is.
So all the credibility is his. So let these be words of wisdom and in the same breath be warning. Son, I shine like Sunday morning!” Cee-Lo

2. Funniest Fridays- HA! This is my favorite because it’s funny as hell! Plus, it makes my number one pick look like a Hype Williams film!

1. MY first video- Now, why wouldn’t I pick the video I shot, directed and edited myself as number one? That would be crazier than the astronaut and pampers lady!


**Honorable Mention
*Self Control instead of Birth Control-It’s not what I blogged about, it’s what Common rapped about. Dude is too dope!
*Whoopi- Because I think Whoopi is the ish!

I DO hope you enjoyed this recap. For those this is new to, I hope you come back and again, thanks to all of my loyal readers and definitely God for giving me the knowledge and talent to write! Because I know its dope! Ok, let me be modest again: eh hem. Thanks to you all! Be blessed and don’t you dare judge me!

When I grow up....

“ I want to be a news lady”( Entertainment Tonight was my favorite show as a kid). That is the first thing I can ever remembering wanting to be. My mom says I used to want to be a vet, but I cant recall that one. But I doubt she’s lying so, I guess. You know how when you’re a kid you want to grow up and be something awesome? Do you remember what those occupations were? Are you doing that now? Are you even on the road to doing that now? I’m going to give you a list of all the jobs I wanted/want to do that I sooo am not doing:

As mentioned before, sometime around the ages of 5-7 years of age, I wanted to be a news anchor.


High School- Freshman and Sophomore year I wanted to be a band director ( said the band geek).

Junior Year- A commercial advertiser ( Because I did and still do have great ideas)

Senior year- Psychologist. But that dream was deferred because I had a terrible teacher who knew crap about the human brain. It’s not her fault…to some degree. You know how in high school there are those BS classes you take just to pass? Well, that what this class was to other students. But since I really wanted to know that stuff, I was disappointed in how things turned out.

College- When I got to college it was either radio/television or marketing. Once I saw the math and business requirements for marketing I threw that major the deuce!!! I decided, that if all I like to do is watch tv and listen to music, might as well work with it! So, I went back to my dream as a 5-7 year old as a news anchor.

Junior year of college- Once I realized that news sucked and working every day reporting sad and depressing news, is no better than a 9-5, it was too late to change my major. But my passion soon transferred to videos. I was inspired by one Kanye West song to direct a video and that has been my dream since...

Senior Year of college- I was suppose to direct a video for a close friend, but after some fellow students who promised to help backed out, I lost all faith in relying on people. So I decided I can start out with documentaries (which can be done with one person or a whole team). I figure I can start there and parlay that into music. I would be damnned if I begged someone to help me with anything ever again(which can be a huge handicap).

***Here are a few bonus jobs I seriously dreamed of having in college:

A role on Reno 911
An actress on Mad TV
Missy Elliots or Ludacris’s hype chic


So now my hobbies includes music videos and documentaries. I still have a 9-5, but my bills gotta get paid, right?

Oh and my new dream job:

A panelist on The View. (Yeah, I effing love that show)
