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!
