Last week, there were a lot of iLLTRACKS that I was feeling but this week has been pure BS, again. However, there's this new group by the name of Electrik Redthat seem to have that "Putting R&B Groups Back on That Real R&B Shit" mentality. I heard that they're signed to Def Jam (in which, I hope that they get good promo because Def Jam is KNOWN to fuck up a new artist's debut with that ***NO PROMO "PROMO".
***meaning they make it seem as if they're giving an artist FULL PROMO but after two months of their album being in stores, people are still asking when's the new album coming out?
Isn't shocking to me nor should it be shocking to anyone else (although people have hyped it up as if it was national news). It's not like Russ can't afford to pay $40,000....that shit is probably more like $4.00 to him.
Isn't this some shit? Day 26 sees their second video before DK and their asses were signed to Bad Boy first? PDBS (Pure Diddy BullShit). Although, I must admit the video is great & Dawn better be lucky she got Que hooked before the fame & shit because that man has definitely stepped up his sexy swag game. Damn!
Honestly, I'm not feeling this shit AT ALL. I mean, I used to love me some TIP but every since he caught a FELONY case and with him being a FELON & only getting 1000+ hours of community service and having to serve only 1 YEAR of prison time....something just doesn't seem right. Because fuck having the so-called "BEST LAWYER THAT MONEY CAN BUY" if you're a felon and you catch a felony case...your ass should at least be seeing 5 years (regardless of your state of residence)....I'm not saying he snitched, I'm just saying something ISN'T right.
Now anybody that knows me, knows that I extremely dislike BET and its dictator Debra Lee but I did TiVo the awards and when I watched it this morning Alicia Keys & Neyo's performance were the only two that were worthy of any recognition and not getting the fast forward button. The rest? Were complete bullshit. However, if you would like a full recap of each performance hit up TOYA'S WORLD.
....Oh and I must speak on all of the ladies who came out with the STUNTIN' ON DEM HOS mentality last night.
Alicia Keys
Jennifer Hudson
Rihanna
Lauren London
There were more but I'm constricted for time right now......Oh and still I say, fuck BET!
My response? Nothing. Why? Simply because Don Imus is ignorant, unenlightened, uncultured, and unconscious...all of the things that I am not and hopefully most people will hold this same mentality. Don't degrade your character and give him free publicity by responding to this ignoranus, oops I mean ignoramus.
And honestly, I still don't. But I must give 50 his respect as a man and a business man. And word to Young Buck: IF SOMEONE IS PAYING YOUR TAXES & HELPING YOU EARN OVER 8 MILLION DOLLARS, DON'T EVER, EVER, TALK SHIT ABOUT THEM! (especially when your ass can barely hit platinum....sheeeit damn near gold in your case).
The chick that was allegedly on the tape not testifying + There being at least two jurors who were R. Kelly fans and can't wait to get their hands on that new 12Play + R. Kelly elevating this chick's bank account to the sky so she won't say shit = R. Kelly being found NOT GUILTY.
In the July issue of Vibe, Usher continues to give his umpteenth statement on his marriage, son, and his mother's termination of employment...you know the usual topics in an Usher interview. Here's one of the quotes taken from the interview, when he was asked about his marriage: “Am I so much of a bad guy because I decided to get married? Am I so much of a bad guy [because once I got in the situation], I decided to stand for something, build a foundation, and think about my future?” he asked. “As a man, you would respect me for not turning my back on it. … It can never be bad to have a foundation as a man — a black man — in a time when women are dying for men. Women have started to become lovers of each other as a result of not having enough men. Are you not studying the stories? Wake up! Black love is a good thing.”
Uhh Mr. Raymond? STBS [Save The Bull Shit]. Did you ever stop to think that maybe the problem isn't your marriage, son, or stepchildren? But maybe the VERY OBVIOUS reason that you have indeed lost your sexiness? Hell, even cuteness for that matter. [PEEP THE PIC AT THE TOP OF THE POST...SMH...WHERE DID THE SEXY GO URSH?]
Word on the block is...Swizzy was having an affair with Alicia Keys while married to singer Mashonda, which serves as the reason for Mashonda filing for divorce from him. Mashonda, allegedly, issued this quote to confirm the rumors of Swizzy & A. Keys' affair, "That bitch stole my man!" In reference to Alicia Keys, of course.
I, personally, just can't and won't believe it. Until I see some actual pictures or hear/see some audio/video of Mashonda confirming that Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz had an affair, I will simply just let this boat take its sail on the gossip rivers. And anyway....I was almost positively sure that Ms. Keys was well on her way to getting hitched to her bugaboo Krucial. But maybe that's what her and SB wanted us to think....hmmm
The cops that hold the mentality of "These niggers are ignorant and don't know the law and aren't going to do shit to me because I'm the one that has the almighty power" is quickly going to change, when? I don't know. But we are becoming sick and tired of police brutality and more soon, then later, they are going to harass the WRONG ONE and all hell is going to break loose on their asses. I see the undercover in the video thought he was being bold, but notice at the end when they do the close up of his face, it's as if he was thinking "I might shouldn't have done that shit."
....Now, after one day of some blogs posting about the so-called "news" of him changing his name, Puffy, Diddy, Sean John, or what the hell ever you call him posts a video and shows that he is currently suffering from a minor case of bitchassness because honestly, who cares? But that's not my issue. The issue is with how quick this dude is to address rumors of him changing his name, yet rumors of him and Cassie have been RULING the gossip scene for over a year and Mr. Sean John hasn't said shit. I mean what does this pic really mean P.Daddy?
Ladies Need Space & Style? Well, Foley + Corinna is the choice for you. Not only can you fit your entire world in their bags but you can kill bitches on the swag tip with them also. Win, Win!
The Expenses of a Law Suit Concerning the Rape of a Groupie = $1,000,000 + The Cost of the Aston Martin Kobe Jumped Over = $130,000 The Look on Kobe's Face After Being Bitch Slapped by the Celtics = PRICELESS
Honestly, I rode with R.Kelly until I seen this picture of 4 The Cause, a R&B group that features the alleged victim of "The R.Kelly Sex Tape", and all of a sudden my feelings for the Pied Piper ::shutters:: have changed. The alleged victim is the girl with the "Moesha" braids at the bottom, looking as if she is no more than 12 YEARS OLD!! Even though, my iTunes is fully loaded with every single that Robert has made, produced, and been featured on....I just might be deleting them bitches this weekend...smh
Avant garde Geneva-based watchmaker Urwerk produces what they claim is the world's hardest timepiece, the 103.08 TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride, a coating less than 4 microns thick and much lighter than gold and platinum but much, much harder - more than 5 ½ times harder than steel). The watch runs about $70, 000 and has proven to be indestructible.
