Seattle Slim Presents The Beat-niks: I See You Jackin’ Bitch…

I like NEW things so when Zuby (Nzube Udezue) suggested I take a look at him right out the gate on our Myspace page I had to listen. This UK born brother is no dummy either. He’s attending the University of Oxford for Computer Science. He’s worldly too, having spent part of his life in Saudi Arabia. His track “Start All Over” featuring Webbafied is my favorite. Production is reminiscent of something Kanye West would do and the message is positive NOT ignorant. So you won’t have to worry about an NSFW tag on this joint. Some may want to write him off for not being “hard” enough…but I’m a little tired of “hard.” He’s got a strong following in the UK and I’m hoping he can do the Lupe Fiasco thing and bring a new concept here.

I don’t know WHO they thought they were kidding but their inter-species relationship was confirmed YEARS ago. Anyway, Beyonce finally opened up to MTV (a little because showing too much emotion would melt her) about her relationship to Joe Camel..err..I mean Jay-Z:

She says, “It’s very easy. He’s so quick. And we respect each other. If I have any suggestions he respects it. If he has any suggestions, I respect it. It’s just, I don’t know, easy. And fun.”

I’ve got to give it to her. The upkeep for camels is a real b!tch…

The ladies at 3AM Showbiz of The Mirror found this picture of Beyonce and the family of rats living in her head leaving a department store in Paris. I for the LIFE of me cannot figure out where the hell her real hair starts, if it is even on her head at all, and where the fake hair ends. Jesus be some Murray’s Pomade…….

Rihanna recently told Giant that she is trying to shed her “generic shell”. For what? Another one? She’s got me f_cked up if she thinks I believe she crafted that herself. But anyway, she talks about how as a child she was exposed to her father’s crack addiction:

“I just knew that my mom and dad would always argue when there was a foil paper with an ashtray,” she says. “He would just go into the bathroom all the time. I didn’t know what it was. … [But] he knew that to get closer to [his kids], he had to cut that out. And he did.”

Damn! What with all the other sluts “starlets” vomiting and snorting their way around Hollyweird it’s almost refreshing to know Rihanna won’t be following in those footsteps. Too refreshing. She’s so boring. Do something like challenge Beyonce to a fight or get photographed leaving the club drunk, something! Otherwise we won’t believe you’re a “good girl gone bad.” And I am amused at them calling her a rock star. Jesus be some Aerosmith. Nice cover though!

I’d take Robin Thicke over Justin Timberlake any day. I just like the dude, drug use aside. In the new issue of Robin drops some knowledge on his wife, Paula Patton. Check out Giant mag for more! On newsstands June 5th!

ON STRAINS IN HIS MARRIAGE TO PAULA PATTON
“She was having sex scenes with the guy who won Album of the Year (Andre 3000), and I pretty much had no record deal. She didn’t come home during the three months of filming (Idlewild) because she was so focused. I started believing she didn’t need me anymore, and when she came home, I started projecting that onto her and pushing her away. That’s what ‘Complicated’ (a song from his album) is about – me saying, ‘I wish I could stop thinking I’m not good enough because, otherwise, I won’t be able to get this girl back.”

Uhh the kind folks over at Bossip seem to have uncovered the deal with Paula. Check them out for some juicy tidbits about her being one of them bisexuals. I have to be honest, it doesn’t sound good. See I don’t even know why he wastes his time on Paula. Hell no. She better get right or get left.

Apparently Alex Rodriguez can really empathize with R. Kelly’s “I’m A Flirt.” It was widely reported yesterday that he was stepping out on his old lady, Cynthia Rodriguez, whom he’s been married to since 2002, after being spotted with a blonde in Toronto. But new details surfaced, and apparently him and his blonde homewrecker jumpoff have been stepping out for much longer than originally thought. Witnesses said they spotted him and his piece here in Seattle, Las Vegas and Dallas, in addition to them recently being spotted in Toronto.

In Dallas, two people said Rodriguez and an unknown blonde visited a high-end strip club - just weeks before he and a blond gal pal were spotted by The Post going to a flashy Toronto strip joint on Sunday night.

And there is a photograph taken March 1 showing the All-Star sitting in the Whiskey Bar in Tampa, Fla., with a blonde. She looks similar to the woman he was photographed with in Toronto during the Yanks’ current road trip there.

An explosive story in The Post yesterday detailed how A-Rod and his mystery lady friend dined Sunday at a pricey Toronto steakhouse. They then visited an all-nude strip club before calling it a night and getting onto an elevator alone together at the Four Seasons hotel, where the Bombers’ $252 million man was staying.

What the hell is up with the strip clubs? Anyway, Cynthia Rodriguez was photographed leaving their Park Avenue home a few times, once with her bags. If I were Cynthia I wouldn’t even sweat it. Prenup or not, she’s going to clean his ass out be paid. They wouldn’t catch me sulking at all. I’d be all smiles, singing “Money In The Bank” by Lil’ Scrappy.

I am really digging Junya Watanabe’s spin on Nike’s 70s style running shoes. Instead of making them look preppy clean, she made them look like running shoes should look: worn. Looks straight vintage, right out of your parent’s closet. It’s so Beatnik it’s fly. No bells and whistles, just slick. If you want a pair though, be prepared to dish out part of that rent money. At a cool $220 at a Comme Des Garcons store near you, their worth more than they appear to be.

Hooray for the rebirth of understated yet sexy. With Miuccia Prada leading a pack to include Chanel, the “pinup girl” came back with a vengeance and we’re only going to see more of it this summer. Never slutty, but always sexy, I’m looking forward to two pieces that cover up just enough skin while hugging all the right curves. This Chanel piece is my favorite!

This Naughty V-Tee by Seattle designers After also caught my eye. In the front it’s not too suggestive but the back is very sexy. Good thing about it is that for the most part any body type can wear it. So if you didn’t have the time to get that six pack right, you can at least show off that back.

Check out After for more.

Also check out Off Soho Shopping for some killer deals on Juicy Couture track suits. I will be copping them in time for my trip to Canada! TRUST!

Hit them up! I know I am!

So I’m watching Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance” and who do I see? Gold Inferno! This dude auditioned for the show but didn’t make it but him and his jumpstyle dancing will live on forever in our hearts, no thanks to him broadcasting it on YouTube. But looking at the get-up I’m thinking that maybe Trojan could make him spokesman for their “Magnum” condom line? He reminds me of the wrapping. Check him out dancing in his bathroom with his socks hiked up to his knees and his pants rolled up just as high. And he keeps the mask on. Jesus be some rhythm.
