10 Year Anniversary of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes’ Death
You probably didn’t even remember did you? I mean, I can understand why Aaliyah’s made such an impact. She was incredibly young, a solo artist and seemingly stayed out of trouble. (Let’s not forget she married R. Kelly at 15 but whatever). Anyways, Left Eye was one of a trio. I will just say this, [...]
From Milli Vanilli To Rihanna
If you’re actually old enough and belonged to a generation before these last two who don’t give a fuck, you’ll understand what I’m talking about here. Do you remember when the Milli Vanilli controversy took place? When they were found to be lip synching and the scandal became so big that they were stripped of [...]
The Vilification of Lauryn Hill
How many of you love some Lauryn Hill? I stay hearing from folks about how she needs to comeback. I’ve even boldly stated that her The Mis-Education of Lauryn Hill was the last great hip-hop album. I will stand by that claim because hip-hop is hot, sweaty garbage on a good day. But I don’t [...]
Beyonce Stans, Keri Hilson and the Fantasia Flailing Arms
I was led to write about this due to a conversation I was involved in on Facebook last night. If you didn’t know, Beyonce stans (remember the definition of a stan) absolutely HATE Keri Hilson. See how I had to bold, italicize and underline hate? It’s real in these streets. So real. And why do [...]
New York Times Names Nicki Minaj the Most Influential Female Rapper of All Time
Based on that heading alone, you should now realize that the New York Times is not worth the paper it’s printed on. With that one statement, the New York Times has fallen lower than supermarket tabloids, Mediatakeout and even Wikipedia as a reliable source. Are you serious right now? This can’t be real life! Nicki [...]
Folks Are Mad That Clay Aiken Said Rihanna Can’t Sing
See how folks hate the truth nowadays? I mean, anything remotely resembling the truth gets you labeled a ‘ hater’ or ‘jealous.’ This new generation is allergic to the truth. You know, Ima go out on a limb and say that is the reason why this generation goes overboard with everything they do! From standom [...]
El, Stay Off That Stuff!
El DeBarge has been arrested again for drug possession. Dang homie, you just did a stint not too long ago! You are too talented to keep messin with that shit, you gotta shake that demon! So many of the folks you came with are gone because of messin with that garbage. As a long time [...]
The White Female Rap Game
I keep hearing about these white femcees (And I use that term loosely! VERY loosely! Like Kim Kardashian’s booty, loose). And they always seem to be surrounded with controversy, you know in an effort to gain street cred. Remember I posted about this broad last year? Her name is V-Nasty and she believes that since [...]
This Is Who Influences Our Youth….
Please pray for the babies…. P.S. His name is really Waka Flocka Flame tho? Sounds like he belongs on The Backyardigans or somethin but I don’t think he could keep up…
Jimmy Ellis Dies
I know most of you don’t know who that is but here’s a little music history lesson. Most of you have heard of disco. Disco has been vilified as a horrendous era in music but there were A LOT of disco cuts out there! And Jimmy Ellis sang lead on perhaps one of the most [...]
