The Troubled Youth

I remember this party chant back in the day. Remember when a DJ or a performer would tell the crowd to scream or say stuff like "Hold Up, Wait a Minute" or the chant made famous by House Party, "The Roof, The Roof, THe Roof is on Fire....." ok you know the rest. Well the game just aint the same. I remember in college, we used to say this exact chant that I'm about to show you in this video, and now that I see it and I'm older, I feel a little embarrassed. But don't get me wrong, we had every right to say it. We were grown, drunk, and having a great time. These are Kids. I can tell by the country accents that this was taped down south. Pretty Ricky is so disgusting. I either must be getting old or teenagers have no boundaries or respect for themselves these days. Listen to this Trash! **Caution, this is not work safe! Use earphones or just wait until you get home.

Come Tumbling Down.....

These are just some entertaining videos I found of celebs and models falling. Those damn Vivienne Westwood shoes. If Naomi Campbell can't catwalk in them, no one can. Check it out! HIIIlarious! Make sure you watch it in it's entirety. The last fall is the best!



Just to add gas to the flame.... Check out Carmen Elektra's nasty fall and then right after her, another one.


Check out The Game at one of his performances. I can't believe his Big&Tall ass fell!


And my absolute favorite: Michelle Williams. Have you tried just listening to the fall? That's funnier than watching it. I've seen this fall at least a hundred times and it still tickles me every time.




Peace and Blessings,

Random Thoughts

I remember when Xscape came out. This was around the "light-skinnded/good hair" era, and in every group there was the cute light skinned girl. Well, my favorite singer was Candi. I never cared for Tiny and her whiny voice. I always looked for the cute light "skinnded" chic in girl groups and Tiny didn't do it for me.
Moving on to T.I. and Tiny:
This might sound bad, but remember that old saying about how there is always one person in the couple that can make or break the cuteness? Well T.I. is obviously a heart breaker for a skinny ni***@ (yeah I said it), but Tiny was never a good look for him. I don't care how many babies they have or how great the relationship is, she's not the dime that you expect from T.I.




















I need to figure out what Ananda was doing back in the day so when I get to be her age I can maintain that beauty that she has. She still looks fresh and young.



















For Fergie to be only 20 somethin' she looks old as hell in the face. It must of been from that Meth' back in the day. Kidz, stay away from hard drugs.



















YUCK! Blondie from Danity Kane is supposedly pregnant, great. So she can be in hiding for a while. Beyonce needs to get pregnant as well



















This is how a man steps out in a relaxed suit. See, if you saw Usher or some other young cat in this, you probably wouldn't even take a second glance. But if a man can look this good in his 40's, then this is what I want my husband to look like at that age.



















I will definitely keep my sexy up at the age of 40 as well. Look at her, she's fabulous. Take a look at Will again, don't these two styles look great together,not people, just the style.



















I miss Tamyra (American Idol) when she had the natural afro puff. Now she's all pixied, dyed, and over glamorized. Natural and less make up is always best!



















Last but not least.

You're probably wondering who this BUMB is!
Well it's none other than Amy Winehouse. She's the latest singing sensation from the UK. I like the song "Rehab" and that's about it. Now Jay-Z is supposedly interested in collabing with her. What happened to my girl Chrisette? Nigg@$ is sell outs (yep, said it again). I can't listen to countless hours of a drunken slurred Ella Fitzgerald all day. And the vintage tattoos and wild hair can be ok., but me no likey when people look stinky! She looks like her pits smell. I'm just sayin'

It's About Time!!!!

Rap Lyrics Cleanup

New York hip-hop record producer Russell Simmons says educating up-and-coming talents is one way to smooth some of the rough edges on their lyrics. (The sports community used this same approach with up-and coming professional sports players) That's a thought. What about stiff penalties also? For every N word 2million dollars a pop.

It took Imus to realize the difference in rapping and being a poetic really means. If we don't respect our woman, mother, sister our friends, why do we expect anybody else too?


We have been trying to convey this message for years about rap lyrics. "It's about dam time"
It's true we are the only group of people who degrade our women, calling them gold diggers, whores, and bitches. (But all along we are strong, educated, independent and supporting to our men) I feel there are a lot of men who are insecure with themselves and the only way the can feel empowered is to call woman Bitch and whores. If we support and feel it's ok to call our women these names, How can we be upset when another race feels it's ok? "Because it's only hip hop everyone is using it now" (Remember, small minded people, who don't venture out of their own world only know what they see and hear).

Simmons and other music industry executives met this week to discuss what might be done to end the crudity endemic in American society, and why rappers shouldn't be held accountable any less than shock jock Don Imus was for his racist remarks about the Rutgers University women's basketball team.

Randomness for that @$$

Will Ferrell is one of my favorite comedians. Watch this old clip, "Landlord", too funny! I found this on listentoleon





I am officially done with Swiss Beatz ass. I never found him attractive. He needs to push his weight up! He looks like the missing hood gay guy from the Village People. As I continue to say, the whole skinny guy thing with the tight ass pants is whack. Boney is not sexy!















But slim and tailored is a definite sexy
















What the hell is wrong with Rachel Roy. She must be depressed. Everything from the make-up to the "Sergeant Pepper" jacket is killing me softly.....can't look anymore
















I love her hair in this pic. I wish I was bold enough to buy some expensive-ass weave and have the nerve to cut it in an asymmetrical bob, only for it to look like a hot mess after a weak.


















Remember the Good Girls




















AMerie looks great..ok we got it. But where is she going and what the hell is she doing with her life. I feel like I always see her in the media, but for what? She never performs, I here no newness coming from her camp. Just Amerie, I need more!



















And with the whole "hip-hop is the reason why men call females hoes!" thing is getting way out of control. Correction: this is the reason why the word continues to get perpetuated. Sorry to say but apparently the young 14 year old girl who got humped on stage by Akon is now saying that she is done with hip-hop. Her father, who of course is a reverend, is very appalled by her and Akon's actions. Akon is stupid. Why does he feel that he has to hump people like a damn dog? He's making money and selling albums! You don't have to jig so hard anymore.

Erykah Badu Is Back!!

New CD, New Look, and Still Erykah.
Story by Jamana Jamison
CHICAGO Conversation and libations flowed freely and equally inside the Park West on Chicago’s North Side following the appetizing musical selection from old-school hip-hop legends EPMD. The crowd was anxiously awaiting the delectable main course, which was about to be served in massive quantities She stood on stage poised more gracefully than ever before, as her hips swayed to the tempo of the drum. The melodic tone that the world fell in love with years ago delivered sweet feelings of nostalgia as she began to serenade the audience.

Annie ain’t got no panties,” Badu sung seductively as the crowd roared its approval. The men bobbed their heads and the women snapped their fingers, anticipating the clever punch line to her opening verse. Then the beat dropped and Badu continued: “They’re in the bathroom stall where she took them off.” Cheers saturated the room and, in the first three minutes, of her performance it was confirmed: 10 years and three albums later, E. Badu still has her swagger.


Erica Wright of Dallas, Texas (born February 26, 1971), better known as Erykah Badu, is an African-American R&B / hip hop artist whose work crosses over into jazz. She is probably best known for "
