Drugs are NO Joke!!!

2009-09-03T11:30:00.004-04:00

See what actress Maia Campbell is up to now... Maia is best known for playing the eldest daughter "Tiffany Warren" on the show in the House with LL Cool J & Debbie Allen. She's featured in Tyrese's "lately" video and other shows & Movies. Maia has been rumored to not only be on drugs but prostituting. Many sources state her problems stem from a mental illness which may be a bipolar disorder, but this has never been confirmed. In 2007 some unflattering naked pictures were released of her. Her mother, Bebe Moore a best selling novelist passed away from brain cancer in 2006. Before her death Bebe explained the common theme of mental illness in her many books was based on a family member. Maya is 33 with 2 daughters which makes this situation even worse. It's truly a sad thing to see people with such talent & opportunity to loose track and spiral down. Hopefully Maia can get some help and shape up.

R.I.P Dj AM

2009-08-31T14:46:00.002-04:00

As many people may know Adam "Dj AM" Goldstein was found dead in his apartment Friday August 28th 2009. Dj AM was revered as one of the top turntablist/Djs by many people including his peers. He has Dj'ed for music icons such as Travis Barker and Jay-Z. Dj AM was found dead in his apartment with several prescription drugs and crack. Dj AM death is a major lost to the music community and my prayers go out to his family.

CHRIS DOESN'T REMEMBER BEATING DOWN RIHANNA...

2009-08-31T12:05:00.000-04:00

As you may or may not know, Chris Brown is to be featured on Larry Kings CNN show this week. During this taping of Larry King the February incident will be discussed. Here's a quick peak at the upcoming show where Chris states he doesn't remember the incident as if he blacked out or something.

JOE BUDDEN & TAHIRY DONZO...?

2009-08-31T12:00:00.000-04:00

It seems like Joe and Tahiry went to a strip club the Tahiry bar tends at and she had suspicions of the relationship he had/has with some of the dancers there. Not sure if this a real break up but Joe Budden originally posted this himself on Joe Budden TV & quickly removed. So we'll see what happens, maybe Tahiry had enough. Could be the end of Joe & T?

Today August 25, 2009 marks the 8 year anniversary of Aaliyah Dana Haughtons death. Aaliyah was and is a very influential force in the R&B game.

HTC Hero

2009-08-24T08:00:00.007-04:00

This phone has been releases in China and seems to be very popular. The Hero's shape looks similar to the G1 but it is a lot more thinner. The white version's outer shield is wrapped in teflon which makes it harder to scratch. The phone comes with a 5 megapixel camera and a 750 hr standby time...all my G1 can appreciate the longer battery life(fyi G1 has 120hr standby time..bs). I havent seen any release dates for this phone in the US but hopefully it will come out soon.

AMBER NAKED in the M-I-A

2009-08-19T20:30:00.000-04:00

If you didn't already think Amber Rose is fearless you do now. Kanye West tried to get in some beach time down in Miami but the papz wouldn't give him any space, this may be due to the fact that his girl Amber was practically naked. I don't blame her for not wanting any tan lines, but jeesh leave something to the imagination. You can take a stripper out the strip club but you can't take the stripper out the girl : )

Young Money the Dynasty?

2009-08-17T09:38:00.002-04:00

Omarion & Bow Wow have been the latest edition to the Young Money Family. Both artist just recently signed with Lil Wayne's record label. It seems like if your 25 and under Young Money is the label to go with....Is Young Money a Dynasty or a Boy Band?

Oprah Isn't Always Right...DONT EAT THE CHICKEN!!!!

2009-08-14T14:01:00.008-04:00

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has tested KFC's Grilled Chicken from 6 different KFC locations and has found a substantial amount of a carcinogenic chemical. Carcinogenic chemicals are very dangerous and can cause cancer. So I researched a little bit about these chemicals and I came up with my theory on how this may have happened. So

Cooking food at high temperatures, for example grilling or barbecuing meats, can lead to the formation of minute quantities of many potent carcinogens that are comparable to those found in cigarette smoke*

I thought my friend B was being a little dramatic but Oprah is really killing us slowly but surely.

Chris Brown sings to Rihanna "Changed Man"

2009-08-14T08:00:00.003-04:00

Heres a quick listen to Chris Browns first single "Changed Man" off his upcoming album "Graffiti." It seems to me this is quite obviously about Rihanna, but there are no confirmations or denials as of yet. He states in the song "saying sorry doesn't make it alright, but I believe we can make it if we try" & quite often sings " I'm a changed man." Let me know what you think...

What??...2 years for Cop Killing SONG!?!?!

2009-08-12T12:05:00.003-04:00

Antavio Johnson from Florida was sentenced to 2 years in prison for a song called "Kill Me A Cop". Antavio wrote the song a few years prior to his conviction but was accused when a gang related unit started rummaging the internet for gang activity. Although I dont agree what the things he said everyone is entitled to their first amendment rights. I have read a couple different articles about this incident and opposing articles say that although we have our first amendment rights violent threats are treated differently. My issue with this is that, music is a way of expression so him making music was an effort to express how he was feeling at the time not a murder plot he planned on carrying out. So how is that considered a threat. I have mixed feelings on this situation...tell me what you think??

Heres the Song:

Joe Budden gets Snuffed !

2009-08-12T08:00:00.003-04:00

It all started when Vibe posted a Hip Hop bracket on their website consisting of " the best rappers ever". Joe Budden was unhappy with his ranking and made it clear by calling out numerous emcees whom he believes he is lyrically superior to. At 9:17 he mentions Method Man...

Apparently Raekwon, a member of the Wu Tang Clan

(which Method Man also belongs to and company weren't too fond of Budden's

statements because a unidentified male, punched Buddens in the face while they

were taping footage and made Budden's apologize...lol

Here's what Buddens has to say.....

Big Baby's Back

2009-08-11T11:21:00.006-04:00

Glen "Big Baby" Davis has decided to stay another two years with the Celtics. It has been reported that he has signed a two year deal with the Celtics that could pay up to $6 million dollars, if he adheres to weight clauses. The deal allows Davis to become an unrestricted free agent the summer of 2011. Big Baby has been pretty consistent player for the Celtics and a monster in the playoffs. So I'm happy he is back with the Big Green.

Teyana Taylor Married to the Mob

2009-08-11T10:30:00.007-04:00

It's Official Teyanna Taylor (artist signed to Pharrels recording label Star trek) has been signed to the clothing line MOB. For those who may not be familiar with the socialite she was fetaured on MTV reality show My Sweet 16, she hangs outs out with celebs such as Drake & Chris Brown.The MOB fashion has been known for their clothing with slogans such as " Money over B*tches." It seems like Teyanna got this deal for posting several twitter pics of herself in MOB clothing. Unlike other celebrities instead of posting foolish antics Miss Teyana has used twitter to get her another check. Good job Teyana! Here she is featured in an upcoming spread.

Hova goes on Oprah?

2009-08-10T12:30:00.001-04:00

Hova goes on Oprah? Could it be! Well it very well maybe. As we all know Talk Show host , Oprah, has had a "No rapper" band on for her show. Oprah has been criticized by many artist such as Ludacris... She hasn't had a rapper appear on her show in over 10 years but soon this may change. Jay Z will be featured this upcoming fall in efforts to promote his new album dropping. Jay Z & Oprah visit Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, NY where he grew up. They'll discuss how he earned his fortune, how he plans to help end poverty, and even his relationship with international superstar Beyonce. Reportedly this deal came through with the help of his right hand Beyonce. The deal was if Beyonce appeared on the Oprah show this pass Spring she must give Jay an interview. Now thats how a power couple continues to progress.

The CHEAT Sheet

2009-08-10T11:49:00.019-04:00

We've unfortunately just reached that part of summer where you THINK the summer's just starting but so are the BACK TO SCHOOL specials... :-/

But have no fear!

I'm going to do my best to hold things down for you on the fashion forefront, so you can dedicate your days to soaking up this last bit of sun.

I've scoured the runways for the hottest looks to keep you up to date with the latest Fall trends from the worlds premier designers, and done my best to translate those looks so that you can incorporate them in your own wardrobe.

This season's hottest trend:

Rocker Chic/The Bad Ass

Translation: Softening up and adding a feminine touch to "hard" pieces like black leather motorcycle jackets & destroyed denim. Also, keep in mind that this season it's all about embracing your femininity. Try your best to seek a balance between figure-hugging and loose-fitting pieces, and you'll soon find that being bad never looked so damned good!

Colors: It's all about the finding the right balance.

Pale nude colors, Black heavily textured fabrics, and shapely jewel tones.

Designer Inspiration: Louis Vuitton Fall 09 RTW

Celebrity Inspiration: Rihanna

** Stay tuned for details on how YOU can get the look dominating the runways this fall!!

Superhead is Back at it Again

2009-08-05T10:30:00.005-04:00

Karrine "Superhead" Steffans has released another book exploiting the hip hop industry

and setting a blueprint for aspiring hoes. Superhead has recently released her third book

titled "The Vixen Manual" which is a instruction manual on how to keep a man. My

question is who the hell would take advice from a loose female like Superhead on how to

keep a man. She can't even keep a weak hearted Eddie Winslow...smh. Alright Karrine

you did your damage with your other two books. Now everyone is tired of seeing your

face so stop feeding us this BS you call books.
