Thursday Throwback - pt 2

I just couldn't choose between this song and the one I just posted for the Thursday Throwback. I'm wondering if a DJ could do a nice little mix with this song. Anyway, you know I can't just give it to you. So here are you're clues:

1. a boy band...kinda

2. debuted on Geffen Records circa 1994

3. R.I.P Heavy D

Peep it after the jump.

Thursday Throwback Music Video

Can't decide on just one so this is the part 1 of 2. See if you can guess from the following details:

1. dropped in 2000

2. a florida rapper that is currently M.I.A

3. features a female rapper that should have blown up like Minaj, but her lyrics made/make too much sense.

Peep the video after the jump.

Dear SBF

Dear SBF,

I am 17 yrs old. I am a beautiful black yung woman from the 708! 

I been talkin to this dude I met at my cuz house a few weeks ago. He wuz there wit my cuz's man but he wuz real quiet & didnt say 2 much. At the party he only said enuf words to me to get my facebook & cell #. 

We been talkin everyday but since this weekend and some real funny **** he said I dont think Ima talk to him anytime soon. He told me that he only talks to girls wit there real hair. He said he could never be wit a girl that is rockin a weave or any kind of beauty store yaki. I know he was trying to be funny, but I rock some nice little extensions. I like em & they look good that's all I care about. Before he said all that we were vibin. I haven't really said much since this weekend. Should I even bother telling him how I feel, cuz we might be able to work it out?

ps when my cuz's man intro'd me to him, he called him token. what does that mean?

Help please. He's fine and I'm single.

- yes it's yaki

Dear Yes It's Yaki -

I'm not gonna sugar coat, I'll be straight up and down with you. Why would you compromise or change yourself to be with some dude who is probably just looking for a girl that does not have brown skin? I'm not saying all black girls wear a weave, extension, or some kind of extra hair product found at the local BSupply, but C'Mon! At least 7 times outta 10, you are gonna meet a pretty or ugly or nice or rude black girl with some kinda piece glued/sewn/fused/clipped/braided into/onto her hair. 

Cut your losses boo boo! At least you know up front that he wants to act funny. What's even funnier is that there are a lot of girls without brown skin that rock some of the most ratchet looking weaves. Ok, I'm getting off subject.  As for token, have you ever watched South Park? There's a character named Token. He's the only black kid in their class. So, he must be used to hanging out with people who lack color to their skin.

Yaki, don't tell him a damn thing. Chunk up the deuces, and keep it moving. Just be glad that he was upfront with his preference. He saved you a lot of time, money, and energy. 

Pat that weave girl!

Here's The Bullshit You Can't

From news you can use to the bullshit you can't...

1. Kim K gets womped womped with the leak of nude pics courtesy of thedirty.com. It's super obvi that this picture is B.B.J (before boob job). Click here for the NSFW pic.

Kanye (looking mad) and Kim K @ Audemar Piguet for a dinner honoring Carmelo.

2. While I'm on the subject, hip hop mogul, Jay-Z has told his good buddy Kanye West to keep Miss Kardashian away from all things Carter. At Carmelo Anthony's Dinner hosted by Audemars Piguet , Monday night, Jay And Bey waited in the vehicle until the controversial pair left the building. 


3. Here's a video of Wiz Khalifa (before his arrest for possession in Nashville) on the Breakfast Club talking about his beef with Waka Flocka Flame and his lady being a whore slore.

Celebrity Rehab is TONIGHT!

For years, I have been a fan of DMX. The barking, crotch rockets, movies (Belly is my movie!), emotional prayer rap diatribes, all of it. It's been sad to watch him struggle with drug and sex addiction, but it's also been something I've joked about (dude can't stay outta jail).  However, last week on VH1's Couple's Therapy, watching DMX ugly cry was just too much. The years of pain that he's carried with them all because of mom was so raw and moving. Tonight he's actually gonna confront his mom, and I cannot wait to see if she can answer for all the wrongs she's done to such a talented human being.


What do you think of the other couples? Extra lame? Angelina and her chef dude need to just quit. Linda Hogan....ummmm. I'm not even gonna touch grandma. Along with the others they are just background noise for the Simmons.




Here's a link to the last episode.

News U Can Use

Here's some of the top news stories from the US and around the world. It's news U can use.

1. The Associated Press reports that nearly two weeks after its creation the website created to help fund George Zimmerman's legal and living expenses has been taken down. During the Zimmerman's bond hearing last week, Shelly Zimmerman (George's wife), said the her husband's brother was the only person to have any involvement with the fundraising website. She also claims that neither she nor her husband are working, and have no source of income. Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara is looking to claim Zimmerman as indigent. To date, Zimmerman has been charged with 2nd degree murder by the state of Florida, and was released on $150K bond this past Monday.


2. This weekend will mark 20 years since Rodney King was beaten to a bloody pulp by the LAPD, which sparked the most intense racial riots in America since the struggle for civil rights. Since his unethical beat down, King has had a rollercoaster life, some of which we were able to witness on VH1's Celebrity Rehab. In those 20 years have we seen real change on the racism front? Does a black man in the country's highest office mean anything?




3. Remember John Edwards? Former Democratic presidential hopeful? Well, he's now spending his time in court trying to defend using campaign money to hide his jumpoff. Where they do that at?
 

4. Talk about being involved in your kids education. A New Jersey father decided to take matters into his own hands by wiring up his autistic son, after receiving several notes that were to the contrary of his son's character. Watch the video he uploaded to YouTube.

5. The chief of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke gave the U.S. some positive news Wednesday. The economy is showing "some signs of improvement", and expansion should "pick up gradually". This seems like not much, and really it's not. However, it's so much better than where we've been heading...The Great Depression volume 2. What does this mean to you? The housing and job markets are going to be picking back up! So, the cable and cell phone bills get paid on time. Hell, you might even be able to afford that good virgin hair or some J's without having to consider what you're gonna go without.

Bullies Make $, But Does That Make Sense?

Last night, I finally caught the latest Basketball Wives from opening to credits. As I watched the group (including some women and some broads) I realized that Evelyn Lozada (broad) is a bully. 
A bully is defined as a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those that are weaker. I'm sure the words power, strength and weaker create feelings of joy for a bully.  It is my belief that these words in this context have a negative connotation, and it speaks to one's poor character to relish in berating or physically harming someone just because you can. 


Evelyn claims to be a 36 year old entrepreneur, mother, fiance, reality show star, philanthropist, producer, and co-author. What she fails to mention is that she is not mean girl/bully. What's more, is that she's throwing glasses, wine bottles, clutch handbags, and jumping over tables all the way to the bank. 


In the last few years, bullying has been highlighted in the media due to a slew of child suicides, YouTube fights, and cyber attacks. Why are broads like Shaunie O'Neal, Tami Roman, and Evelyn Lozada allowed to capitalize off of being what we don't want our children to become? Essentially, Evelyn is what happens when a bully grows up, but does not mature. 


What's even worse is that Tami and Evelyn both agree that after an (bullying incident) assault, an adult should just take it and not utilize the system of checks and balances put in place to keep ADULTS in check. Furthermore, if you want people to settle problems your way, the next course of action would be for the bullied person to get their people to ride on your ass. But that's not how ADULTS should handle things either. At the risk of being cliche, violence isn't the answer. You don't have to just snap and "blackout" to settle your differences. Instead of being about "that life", why don't you be about your own life. Worry about those you actually care and like, those that are your friends and family. Anyone else let em walk.


Little girls are actually looking up to these woman with their super large earrings, cute dresses, and bad behavior. Because we let our children watch and idolize these women, they are making more money than you and I, and the people they spend the majority of their day with....teachers. 


Where are our priorities for the future?




If you know a child that is being bullied, the dept of ed has a website set up that is actually a comprehensive collection of what you need to know and how we can stop our children from being bullies and the bullied.

Isn't She Lovvvvvvellllly?

It's that time again, People magazine has published their Most Beautiful issue. So, who topped the list as world's most beautiful woman? Well if you know anything about illuminati, I mean over-saturation, I mean being a note-worthy entertainer then you know it's Beyonce Knowles (Carter?).

 I'm not a particular fan of Mrs. Knowles-Carter in recent years. I'm over it, but it's obvious that plenty of ya'll out there are begging for more. The best part of the article is when she's asked about Blue Ivy's resemblance. She's quoted by People, " She looks like Blue...She's her own person". Is that because Beyonce didn't birth Blue? She could be throwing the normal celebrity ambiguity our way or it could be because she honestly has no clue who her daughter favors. Sorry Beyonce stans :( just using the 1st amendment :)

Tonight is part 2 in the reunion special for the Real Housewives of Atlanta. By now you already know the most brokedown diva, Sheree, will not be joining the cast for another season. So, anything she says or does in the last 2 parts are a result of her sipping haterade, AND trying to vie for the attention of any other reality show producer. Unfortunately, we all know, Sheree will more than likely slip into reality tv obilivion. I feel bad for the 42 year old single mom, but she should have come correct. It's reality TV, hello?!

Tune in to Bravo TV tonight at 8CST to watch the "talls" and the "smalls go at it again.

If you can't wait, here's a link to a preview of the tonight's part 2 of the reunion!

The Brown-ish Bachelor?

I don't know about you, but I have been a admittedly sometimey fan of ABC's series The Bachelor. I usually watch for the same reason I watch any other reality show: drama, trainwreck women, and of course the showmance.

I have wondered since the first episode if there would ever be a bachelor with brown skin. I find it hard to believe that not one handsome, intelligent, and ambitious black man has never applied to be The Bachelor.

Now, after the terrible season caused by Ben Flajnik there is a bit of backlash. Not only does the show seemed rigged, but many are wondering where is the flavor?

I'm tired of seeing white girls fall all over each other to get the affection of some Ken doll or surfer dude turned business man. Bring on the color!

Here's the video that sparked the post.

I love love love free stuff! Especially when the free stuff are items I would actually use.

Being a member of SheSpeaks.com means just that. Sign up and take a few precious moments to fill out some surveys on who you are and what you like.

Then you will be asked to do different campaigns for SheSpeaks. They will send you the item for free, you use it, and tell the world whether or not you liked it. THAT'S IT.

I've gotten tons of free name brand makeup(and yes it was for my skin tone), hair products, gadgets, and online software to try. I've also seen the designer jean, Dyson vacuum, and adult/baby food product campaigns that others have reviewed.

So give it a try.
