Snaps For Da Kids!

Sweet Dreams....I can't.

Blatant Racism Still Exist In 2009? What A Shock...

So a groups of kids from Creative Steps Day Camp in Northeast Philly paid $1900 for one day of swimming each week during the summer at a swim club. The kids get all excited and make their way to club only to have their money refunded and told to leave. The president of the club then went on to say, "There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club." While it is obvious that racism is more than prevalent today and everyday, I mean the fact that Bill O'Reilly is on television proves that, it still makes you clutch your pearls in total disgust that black children were literally turned away from fun times at a pool that they PAID for. One of the kids (boy pictured above) who was turned away said he hear a lady say, "'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'"...and you know the dumb bitch was more than serious and probably really scared. This is just more proof - not that we need it - that whether they call you a nigger to your face or behind your back after they just smiled and shook your hand, that a large majority of the pale people really believe the beautiful darker nation to be just that. What else is there left to say? The earth will explode before racism is truly abolished. And since I truly believe that be the case, when kids can't swim in a pool because the pale people are scared they might change the complexion of the club, all you can do is remember that our president is a Black man. As far as I'm concerned, I'll take joy in my own ignorance and believe that Team Black is winning. Source

So You Think You Can Dance: ADE BETTA WORK!!!

So seriously, how Ade and Melissa ended up dancin for their lives is truly beyond me. I mean are you friggin kidding me. How in da hell did the dancin Oompa Loompas Randi and Evan (and I say that with love) get a pass over Ade and Melissa?! Their Disco number was better than both of Evan and Randi's dances. But I guess that doesn't matter cuz there was no way in hell Ade or Melissa were going home....especially after Ade DANCED FOR HIS LIFE!!!! His solo was the best dance for your life EVER on SYTYCD. So you can put that where Tyce Diorio! So we lose Phillip and Caitlin, which wasn't surprising. I think it is great that they still get to go on tour. Phillip is definitely a favorite and people will pay to see him do some out of control poppin n' lockin and crazy hip-hop....so I'm happy for him. I'm also really happy for Caitlin and her metal hip. But... I'm ready for Brandon to just win this already.

Yonce and Solo: Muziq and Beatdowns

So Yonce's new video for 'Sweet Dreams' has been leaked... This is absolutely my favorite song on I Am, so even tho I don't love it, I like it uh-lot and it is waaaaaay better than her last two snoozes (three if you count the boring ass Ego remix video...but I talked about that already). And since I'm talkin bout Yonce, I guess I betta watch what I say cause her baby sista Solange might try to knock my block off....I giggled as I typed that. Wish a bitch would.... BUT I feel her...I can talk all the shit I want about my sister, but let anybody else say sumtin...I don't give a fluff how true it is either....beware of the left elbow hittin your right jaw. Anyhoo...this is about Solo and her Twatter rant. She said: "…Sick of people thinking I’m gonna be my sisters enemy.You are FAR out of line.Take your fake “love and healing “somewhere else. Next person who hits me with some negative energy about my sister is gonna get Fox news all over again.Ya hear! Don’t try to love ME becuz u want 2 be the “anti Beyonce”.I am the “all for” Beyonce.Now kiss both of our Knowles asses if u don’t like it! Call me whatever u want to, but next time I say “yo momma….” don’t flinch. See how u feel. Now back to your regular scheduled programming. I’m back in the booth creating & she is somewhere shutting down a sold out show:) kisses…" And there you have it. Don't flinch cuz she's comin if you don't watch ya mouf!

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 12 Plie and Releve!

Double Time! Our top 6 couples are doing two dances tonite....let's get it! Melissa and Ade: Disco Whooooooooooo!!! That was supertastical!!! That was an amazing disco routine! I mean, they killed it with all the lifts but that lift with Melissa doin the full split over Ade's head was SICK!!!! That was enough for me. And Ade was tryna tear that up! He was pumpin it...shake your booty down to the ground Ade! Melissa kept up and worked it out. LOVE IT! Side note....hated Ade's costume. I thought that purple plastic mess was gonna rip off him. Dance 2: Waltz Ummm, when Ade dances he makes me want to feel like a natural woman. These two can do no wrong. I thought that waltz was fantastic. They make dancing just look effortless and beautiful. I love that Ade got a lil solo with his spins and stuff but Melissa really makes me believe her. Side note...did Mary tell Nigel to "pipe down English muffin"? She's such a mess. Kayla and Kupono: Contemporary Well when it's a Mia Michaels piece what else do you say but beautiful. I think that Kupono was the star of this piece. He took that dance to heart. This routine was about addiction and Kupono felt it. Kayla executed wonderfully too but I'm givin this all to Kupono...and Mia of course. Dance 2: Broadway I couldn't tell that they were in love and I didn't see any character. They did what they were supposed to do but there wasn't anything excellent about that. Good, not great. I expected a whole lot more from them. Caitlin and Jason: Fox Trot That was good but it wasn't great. I wasn't bedazzled. Caitlin was definitely the better of the two and together they were obviously tryna work it out but...eh. Dance 2: Lyrical Jazz Thank goodness they had two dances tonight! That was great! That is what I call dancing. They looked great, they executed wonderfully, and they were in synch the whole time. I loved the choreography and I think on a technical level they did a great job. Jeanine and Phillip: Russian Folkdance Mkay. They tried. They tried really, really hard. I believed they were Russian Folkdancin. However...I felt like I was on the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney World. I don't think it was their fault that the dance was kind of wompy. They both did really well with what they were given. Dance 2: Jive Who knew the Jive could be sexy? I liked that uh-lot!! They danced that extremely well. When I heard they got the Jive I was like aw hell, can they get a break?! I mean Russian Folkdancin and now the Jive! But they pulled it out and handled their bizz and....I get the feelin these two like each other for real, for real. Jeanine was tryna give it to him with her tittie shimmies and boot shakes....she smashed it. Randi and Evan: Hip-Hop Nope. Didn't like it. Hip-Hop really isn't for er'body. Honestly, they looked like white people tryna dance. Yes, they had all the steps down but it just didn't look good. When these dancers dance, they usually make it look effortless...this looks like they were tryin real hard to get it right. I think Tab and Nap did a great job with the choreography and the pregnancy story they were telling but um, yeah no. Dance 2: Samba OMG Pasha!!!!! Mmmmmmm Pasha. Yum. Mkay, focus. Randi and Evan. Maybe it's cuz they're short but that wasn't sexy or hot at all. Can you imagine if Brandon and Janette or Ade and Melissa did that routine? I mean, they tried and as per usual, did er'thing they were supposed to do but um, yeah no. Janette and Brandon: Argentine Tango Tell me these two are not insane, off the chain, reeee-diculous!!! Seriously. Tell me they aren't the shizz!!! Sex-ay!!! Just hot!!! Just toooo damn hot!!!! They killed that. Nothing else to say. Side note...have I mentioned that I LOVE Brandon? LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dance 2: Jazz I have no more words for these two. I'm done. They are as hot as it gets. These two just dance and do it better than everyone else. I'm just sad that they are no longer going to be partners. I think I said a few weeks ago that Ade and Melissa were my favorite couple......love them but, no. It is ALL about Brandon and Janette. Side note...have I mentioned that I LOVE Brandon? LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So who is goin home? Not Brandon, not Janette, not Ade, and not Melissa...er'body else is up to get a two fingas. I do hope that Phillip and Jeanine get a pass tho...I like them too. We'll see tomorrow....

Just Why???

Soooooo...I'm finally back in functionin mode and seriously, what is there to focus on? I can't cry over Michael anymore...he knows I love him very much and we were both wonderin if Usher was gonna jump in the casket during the memorial (and why he didn't know the correct lyrics to the song)....but you know, we can't talk about that. So what else does my schizo brain think about...Steve McNair. I learned about his death a couple of days ago like everyone else but it has now been confirmed - not like we didn't already know - that his death was a murder suicide and his sideline ho shot him twice in the head, twice in the chest and then shot herself. Sigh.... There are so many different ways I can approach this. Do I go the "how dare you die cuz your sideline ho is crazy??? Don't you test for this shit before you start fuckin dese hos?" or I could say, "Seriously, Steve...but she's fugly" or I could say, "But you have a beautiful wife at home, with four boys, and um, she's a fugly bitch who works at Hooters. Did they not have any other non-psycho hotter bitches slangin wings?" or I could say "See what happens, Kobe? Next time it won't be a law suit...bitch will just kill yo ass"..... But I think what is more appropriate is that I say how sad I am by this...and I mean that. Steve was so young and had four boys to turn into men and overall, from what we all know, he was one of the good ones. We all have poor judgement er'now and then and sometimes our decisions....well, we can't come back from. I just feel bad for Mechelle. How horrible must it be to learn that not only was your husband cheating on you BUT the bitch killed him! I can't even imagine. How do you mourn that? She gave 12 years to this man and this slutty ho took it all away after a few months of her gettin a lil money and some NFL dick. I mean daayum! When is it ever THAT serious?! I can't. How is Mechelle supposed to go on after this? What does she tell her boys? Beyond devastating and horribly pointless. Sigh...RIP Steve. I'm sending strength, courage, and wisdom to Mechelle....

Still In Vacay Mode But...

I did want to let all my SYTYCDers that I was soooo wrong with my predictions for the bottom three. I was rather shocked at who ended up dancing for their lives but once the solos got started, I knew Karla and Vitolio were going home. One of my besties Tee and I did a tribute to SYTYCD and Vitolio in the middle of the street somewhere in Chicago...yeah, um Blame it. Speakin of Chicago, I wanna give a special shout out to the old drunk man who followed me around and gave me a LOVE check. An actual real life LOVE check. I'm still thinkin bout cashin that in boo! And a even bigger shout out to my new friends from Detroit...I actually stole the old drunk man from one of them AND they saw the crack head from the bathroom who made sure my friend had toilet tissue actually smokin crack from the crack pipe outside da club. Fun times homies!!! As I continue on my happy jaunt I just wanted to say I came across something that made me think very differently of this particular young man and had me thinkin that something has to change with the development and molding of child stars. Soulja Boy you actually get the F.U. Star of the Day for NOT Twatin on Twitter and articulately and effectively expressing your thoughts and feelings. At least you are learning such lessons now. I see a grown ass man in progress...or so I'm hoping. "A lot of people talking about what I twittered the other night…so I want to address it, now that I have had some time to do some thinking. At 18 years, having grown up in the Mississippi Delta, I never thought my life would take me to where I am now. All I wanted to do was make music. All I thought I loved was music. I would die for that motherf*ckin music. But, once I got a record deal and all these people around me trying to tell me who to be, what to do and how to do it, I realized that I wasn’t making music any more for the love. I got into this weird place where I began making music for the money. And I was making a lot of money…more money than I could ever imagine. And with that money, of course, I could buy a lot of things…but to be honest, you can only drive that brand new phantom around the corner oh so many times… and when you are done driving, it really don’t mean sh*t. I thought money was gonna bring me happiness. And that is the farthest thing from the truth. Money f*cks you up. I know I might sound crazy, because a lot of you who are reading are probably like, I wish I had this ni**a’s money. But, the truth is that money got me twisted. All I want to do is go back to making music for the love of it. The accolades and the awards are for everyone else. The music is for me. The music is my happiness. So, of course I am struggling in my mind right now…cause I wanna get back to place where I woke up, thinking about what I was gonna write that day. Where I went to sleep ready to dream about what I was gonna write the next day. I know my fans. And I know they will understand this. This ain’t got nothing to do with y’all. Oh yeah… sorry to all my white peeps out there. I’m not racist But I guess time will heal all wounds…" Anyhoo, I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend....post will return to normal...when I feel like it. Luh u, mean it!!!! Source

So You Think You Can Dance: 14 Dancing Machines!

Oh boy...Mia's a judge tonight. Nothing else to say. Let's get it! Janette and Brandon: Cha-Cha What a way to start the show!!! HOT!!!! I loved that Cha-Cha!!! Brandon is AMAZING!!!! And Janette was totally in her element and she worked it! The foot work, the technique, the skill, the sexy, all of it was just proof that these two are tryna win this shiz! You betta work!! Side note...Mia Michaels gave Brandon the best compliment there is. She only tells people that they suck when she knows that they are special, brilliant and talented. I now forgive her for being so mean to my Brandon! Kayla and Kupono: Contemporary Wow!! I actually really saw the battle in the dance. Kupono tryna bring Kayla to the dark side and Kayla fightin for her life. I really, really, really liked that. You know what, this was the first time Kupono really showed his skills AND this is the very first time I've seen why the judges like Kayla so much. Both of them have amazing technique, the way they encompassed the story, and each movement was on point. That was actually quite fantastic. Side note...what am I missing about Kayla? I am finally gonna admit that she is a great dancer but Mia said that they make a gorgeous couple...um, Kupono is a cutie yes, but Kayla...just NO. I don't want to have to say that anymore. Randi and Evan: Broadway Randi and Evan work so well together. This Broadway routine was good but not amazing. It looked good, like they got the gist of the routine but I just felt like it was missing something. You know, it gets hard to talk about the dancing when technically, it is really good and they hit all their marks and you can tell they are really tryna kill it. I think the major problem is that when you follow two performances that get you on your feet, if you don't do the same, it is like you have no choice but to pale in comparison. With that said, it was a good job but needed to be a whole lot better. Caitlin and Jason: Pop Jazz How creative! Caitlin has been charged with being an alien and she comes down from her planet to impregnate the last man on earth...Jason. Brian came up with a great routine and I thought it was different. I think both Caitlin and Jason did what they were asked to do and they did it well...I'm just not sure if it will be enough to keep them out the bottom for the third week in a row. Side note...Caitlin's costume did not look like an alien costume. She looked like a Godzilla with pleatha skin. Jeanine and Phillip: Hip-Hop Mkay, that was DOPE! Dope concept, Dope choreography, Dope dancers! Jeanine surprised me. This was a harder Hip-Hop routine than the one they had the first week and Jeanine had no trouble keeping up with Phillip. For Phillip he's in his element and his Hip-Hop ability is just ridiculous. They were dancing chained together!!! This could have gone so wrong but it was HOT! Loved it!!!! Side note...why come when Mia is giving a compliment it takes so long to realize that it is an actual compliment? Melissa and Ade: Classical Pas de deux That was so beautiful! Ade and Melissa performed a Romeo and Juliet ballet routine that was simply beautiful. I absolutely believed that they were dancing for their love and I felt like that could have been on stage at The American Ballet Theater. Amazing. Love, love, love these two! Side note...I think they are purposely putting Ade in those pants that show his serious rock hard booty! Asuka and Vitolio: Quick Step I liked that Quick Step! Great choreography, fun to watch, and that quick spin to change Karla's costume was fabulous. Vitolio and Karla actually look really good together and it looks like they had fun and that's most important...right? Vitolio is just so fun to watch. He puts everything into his performance, you can tell that he's giving his all all the time. Excellent number to end the show! Ok so what a fun show! Overall everyone was rather fantastic. I'm thinking that Evan and Randi, Jason and Caitlin, and I'm not sure who will be dancing for their lives. We'll see tomorrow... Side note...not that any of you heffas care, but F.U. is goin out of town so post will be coming (I think) but sporadically.

Damn You!

Sigh....I just got an email that said the following: "Bitch you talk about everybody under the sun all day and the one day I go to your blog to see what you say about the Tiny & Toya show you talking about Quincy Jones. What's up with that? I need to know what you think about that show! Come on F.U.!" "Anonymous"...the reason I didn't plan on posting anything about the "Tiny & Toya" show was because I'm ashamed I even watched it. Shame on me for watching and shame on BET for putting this bullshit on TV. You know, it's one thing to have Frankie and Neffe on BET because the show started with Keyshia Cole and following how she became a successful star despite the hot mess that surrounded her. So yes, Frankie and Neffe and the rest of Keyshia's family show a side of Black people that makes you cringe, but it's real and more than anything, it is just more proof that that doesn't have to be your life. You can grow from that. What da fuck do you learn from watching Tiny and Toya? First of all you can't even understand not a damn thing they are saying. Frankie don't have no teeth and you can still understand her! Secondly, my eyes hurt looking at the fug that is Tiny. She honest to goodness has the face of a beast that eats pork. Her daughter from her first baby daddy is very pretty so thank GOD for her baby daddy's DNA cuz she ain't get none of that from Tiny. Third, did Toya really go huntin for her mother in the street? Something about that seemed real staged and fake and why is this what we have to see? And why doesn't T.I. want Tiny to work? She wouldn't be able to be successful as a singer by herself anymore because you can't look at her without gettin bubble guts. Xscape is a wrap - and Biggie done already proclaimed them the ugliest girl group ever - but I still listen to my Xscape cds. So it seems like she could sing back-up and continue to write songs. Is T.I. really that insecure? Why would he be threatened by her working? Lastly, I really wish Toya and/or BET would express somehow that having babies at 14 years old is not cute. 99.9% of the time you will not 'luck' out and have a baby with a future rapper millionaire. Come on BET. Please. Is this all we have? Is this all Black people are about? I know that train wrecks are what bring the ratings but we watch so many other shows on so many other networks WHY won't you challenge us? Give us options. Maybe we can prove to you that we actually have brains and we don't just care about money, clothes and hos. We don't just care about crack head mamas and baby daddies in jail. We are so much more than this BET. Stop exploiting us. I KNOW Viacom is now your parent company and WE are no longer in full control but dammit when does somebody say hell to da naw, we won't continue to sell the stereotypes and disasters? It's time BET. Fight the powers that be. I didn't even feel like it "Anonymous" but there you go. Hope you're happy. And I'm keepin you "Anonymous" cuz people don't need to know YOU watched that bullshit either.

Quincy Jones Agrees With F.U.!

As it pertains to VIBE magazine - the great magazine Quincy Jones started - Q has words: “I’m trying to buy my magazine back now. They just messed my magazine all up, but I’m gonna get it back. You better believe it, I’m’a take it online because print and all that stuff is over. We gotta get into the 21st century you know. Print and all that stuff is over, we gotta remember that. The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer. The Miami Herald. They’re over the same way as the record business. We have got to get into this century.” They sure did mess your magazine up, Q. And yeah, print is truly no longer where it's at (altho I still get VERY excited when my ESSENCE magazine comes in the mail er' month) but the real question is, however, with the saturation of the same shit on every blog and every website, how is VIBE.com gonna stand out? I'm sure you'll come up with something, Q....should be interesting to see what you can pull off.
