Kanye West & Jay-Z: "Watch The Throne"

2011-01-12T10:50:00.006-05:00

Looks like 'Ye and Jay are going to create some buzz this year.

After an announcement that the two were working on a mixtape together, it was later said that the mixtape was being made into a full length EP entitled "Watch The Throne".

Has a pretty regal yet egotistical sound to it. Then again it is Kanye West and Jay-Z.

Yesterday the first single "H.A.M" was released

Its Britney Bitch

2011-01-11T21:42:00.002-05:00

She is BACK! Now I like Brit and all just like the next person. But how much can we take of the same ole stuff? Im happy she has her life back together and is with her kids. Im happy for her! But lets be honest...Britney's vocals have been very disappointing more recently. She has been caught lip-syncing more times than Wendy Williams changes her wig (How You Doin' Wendy!)

"Hold it Against Me" the debut single for the album was released a few days ago via stream with Ryan Secrest. Hold it Against ME is already #1 (work out Brit!)

The album is set to be released March 2011

Makeup 101

2011-01-08T05:52:00.005-05:00

A lot of women neglect the importance of a well kept set of makeup brushes. Makeup brushes are an important part of good makeup application, and so is the cleaning and maintenance of your brushes. taking care of your brushes is not only important for the brushes, its an important part of keeping you skin healthy. I see many people who just dust off there brushes and keep on using them, this is an absolute NO NO!!!! you should always clean them. Your skin holds tons of dirt and Bacteria that normally isn't harmful to you with normal grooming but when using dirty brushes the dirt and bacteria have a chance to build up and are even more harmful to your skin, and this can all be avoided by a few simple steps.

To start cleaning your brushes you wanna start by buying a brush cleaner this can be found anywhere you can purchase makeup. it's not something that you have to spend a lot of money on just make sure it has alcohol in it this will help disinfect and speed up drying time. i like to you the brush Cleaner from MAC because it cleans you brushes well and leaves them with a pleasant sent when they are dry.

Next you want to pour a small amount in to a bowl and dip your brushes in to it. then using your fingers gently work a lather up on you bristles you will notice the excess makeup and dirt in the lather. once you have a good lather going rinse the brushes under warm water and gently shake most of the w

ater off

Finally you want you reshape you brushes while they are still damp and let them dry. this is important because it will help keep the brushes in good working condition and make them last longer.

Tip: i like to pour my cleaner in to spray bottle so you can just mist a small amount on to the brushes instead of pouring it in to the bowl, this will let you use less and control how much you use easier.

Playstation Phone

2011-01-08T02:31:00.006-05:00

Xperia Play, the PlayStationPhone, the PSP Phone whatever you wanna call it its true. Sony's new phone is real its been speculated for some time now but it is confirmed. the phone is said to be powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and holding 512 RAM and ROM. it has also been noted to be running the Gingerbread operating system and featuring a 5 Mega-pixel camera, along with a 4 inch Touch LCD Screen, and featuring a PSP go like design with classic playstation peripherals including a D-pad bumpers the iconic circle, square, triangle, and "x " buttons and a tweaked version of the left and right joysticks which have ben converted to a touchpad.

Equipped with all these new specs and features sound good but how will the phone fair on the actual market

competing with the Iphone 4 and tons of other Android phones, and how will it fair aginst the sales of it's video game/cell phone predecessor the N-Gage which was an initial fail but has slowly gained moderate success for Nokia. the

phone has been reported to have a Sim card slot so it its up for grabs what carrier/carriers it will be avalible on, guess only time will tell.

What in the Sam Hill!

Miss Minaj Goes Platinum!

2011-01-06T11:22:00.003-05:00

"Did It On Em".

Seems like the best thing that can be said here. Nicki Minaj has shipped over one million copies of her debut effort, "Pink Friday" according to the RIAA.

And here's the part where the Anti-Barbies throw salt.

All of the plastic surgery rumors, ghostwriting rumors, sextape rumors, beef with Lil' Kim (which is totally unfair) and ultra-creative outfit ideas only helped fuel the buzz for this promising starlet.

I can't complain because she does have ALOT of talent. I mean would you rather listen to Kim's "Black Friday" over Nicki's "Roman's Revenge"?

Didn't think so.

Wishing Nicki Minaj the best here and more success because she's become the leading force in mainstream hip-hop for women. Also because she's VERY interesting to watch. 2011 may just be another big year for her.

I must admit...I am ready for her return.

2011-01-06T05:24:00.002-05:00

Oh Naaa Naaa Whats my name!?

The album is crazy good right? At first when I heard Rihanna was releasing another album I was a little hesitate...apathetic. Cause I mean she just released Rated R November 20th, 2009. Im like dang girl can you give us a break, you starting to act like Beyonce. HOWEVER! I must say after I heard the first single, Only Girl in the World i was persuaded to see what Ri Ri was doing. I mean Rated R was cool but a little toooo dark for me.

Loud is overflowing with potential singles, and frankly brilliant pop music, “Only Girl (In The World)” is quite simply mammoth. Had this track dropped in August Rihanna would have become the queen of Ibiza. Elsewhere Rihanna steps away from the dance floor for the silky sex rhymes of “What’s My Name”; where Drake is reduced to a brief forgettable cameo next to Rihanna’s carefully judged combination of subdued hooks and heartfelt verses.

While a consistently high across is maintained throughout Loud there are some noticeable missteps. “California King Bed” is a tired an unnecessary ballad. It feels instantly dated with it’s muted guitar acoustic guitar backing and it’s quiet-loud dynamic. It’s the kind of track that artists like Rihanna, Beyonce and even Britney seem to have placed arbitrarily on all of their LPs. At its best it’s generic, at its worst it’s tiresome and overwrought. It’s the kind of track that Gaga would never write; "California King Bed" limp, predictable and cliché ridden, the kind of track the best pop records avoid. “Complicated” is less offensive, but sees Rihanna playing the role of Matt Bellamy with long straining vocals, it’s certainly engaging, but it cannot escape from a distinct feeling of mediocrity.

Again Rihanna fails to top the Billboard 200 with a #1 album. This is her biggest opening week to date in her whole career.Loud hit the charts at #3

I give this album ★★★★☆

Kelly Rowland set to perform on the VMAs?????

2010-08-07T13:32:00.002-04:00

Ok ok...so as some of you know, and others don't, Kelly Rowland is set to release her 3rd studio album sometime in November. So she has been doing a lot of promotions getting ready for the album. It is now rumored she will be preforming her hit "Commander" which topped the billboard dance charts at no.1

My only suggestion is that, she permanently fire Tina" Tacky Tina" Knowles as her wardrobe stylist, leave those wigs from the hood chinese beauty supply store alone, and she needs to pre-record a live track..we all know she cant sing that live very well... #shade.

For those of you who doubted it!

2010-08-07T13:00:00.004-04:00

From Steroids to the Court: Marion Jones...is back

On March 10, 2010, the Tulsa Shock announced that Jones had signed to play with the team, making the professional minimum ($35,000) in her first season.
.....35,000!!!! Girl you could have made more money selling Bob Marley CD's out the trunk of your car.

Angry Black Woman.

2010-03-10T11:06:00.004-05:00

You know I have to say I am proud of Mo'Nique for winning Best Supporting Actress at the Academy. However, I must say this... When will a black actress get an academy for not playing a stereotypical angry black woman.

Stereotypes about black women have coursed through pop culture for centuries. They range from the smiling, asexual, and often obese Mammy to the promiscuous Jezebel who lures men with her sexual charms. But the one getting a major workout these days is the angry black woman. No one ever sees her as independent or innovative she is always loud, rude, and ready to cuss you out.

I hope I am alive the day a black woman can receive an award for just pure talent.
