Rumor has it that Prince is dating these two chics at the same time. They won’t confirm their real names but they look awfully familiar to the girls that are in his backup repertoire and stuff. I know that Prince is Prince and all, but as it pertains to the twins, if you are letting this man smash at the same time as in you are both in various states of undress on some threesome mess, that’s a little on the incestuous side for me. I’m just saying. And no, it’s not okay.
We can say what we want about Kim Kardashian but I will say this, she isn’t anorexic or emaciated! I like that! And Mel B. looks positively BANGIN’ for having just had a baby a few months ago. *Lone tear falls from my eye* It gives me hope! They both look great! Stick it to these stick figure b*tches ladies!! Nicole Richie really need to see y’all chef!
Tic-Toc son…..tic-damned-toc. Sean Kingston performed at 106 & Park yesterday and boy did it look like he was having a hard time just standing there. Like he was tired. Now rumor has it that this guy remade a Led Zeppelin song. If he did, somebody please start saving up some bail money for me. I’m going to have to take him out if he ruined any of my Jimmy Paige or Robert Plant. Momofukus……
Yup! It’s Tuesday and I feel like a half human/half zombie creature from Britney Spears’ underwear the netherworld. I stayed up trying NOT to vomit from this HELL SICKNESS aka morning sickness. Went to bed at 12:30 am..OH JOY!
Now real talk, those Finns sure do get an A for best costume huh? This is rock band Lordi from Finland playing at Ozzfest. I mean damn. But it’s all fun and games until Satan shows the f*ck up in their bedroom at night, talkin’ about some “How YOU doin??” I’m just saying………
I wrote this blog on my personal Myspace and seeing as how it’s time to check out, I couldn’t iron it out so I just copied and pasted. Hope you folks enjoy or if you don’t leave a comment! I do own Nikes, Filas, etc. I guess in my own ignorance I wanted to believe their hype but nothing has changed. I personally am ashamed and brands I used to wear with pride because they were “higher” end or a la mode, I wear like a scarlet letter on my chest. I’m not saying we should all burn our shit we bought and then wear burlap sacks, I’m saying if you’re confronted with buy Nike Jordans and another brand that is made in the USA or not in a sweatshop, please make the considerate and conscious choice. That is all we can do. ============================================================== IF you’re a lemming, one track mind, sheep in the pasture, don’t want to get your mind right because you weren’t issued one, naive and gullible, myopic simp then this post will either a) offend your or b) get your mind right. Either way, if you’re too simple to get it then keep it moving.
Okay gather round cats, sit down and let me rap to ya.
I picked up this book the other day because as y’all know I STAY reading books lol. Seattle Slim STANS for books lol. So I picked up: The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, And The Truth About Global Corruption by John Perkins. Tut tut tut! Before you say this is a liberal thing let me first say that I’m probably more libertarian/socialist (one hell of a mix eh) than anything. So I’m not for any side in particular. This book is bipartisan in its criticism of our dealings with the IMF and World Bank. Please pay attention to those two entities as they are VERY real.
This book doesn’t sh*t on repubs or dems. It sh*ts on our corporations. We no longer have a democracy folks and for those of us who stopped chewing of the cud and left the pasture to walk upright and assume our humanity…..we knew this a long time ago.
Democracy means that protests over Iraq could have brought our president alone to have to answer to us and others…..but we are not a democracy anymore. We are a Corporatocracy.
In any case if you don’t care about all of that care about this:
For all you parents getting ready to buy your kids hundreds of dollars of clothes from Nike, Adidas, The Gap, Old Navy, Tommy H and Ralph Lauren, peep game:
They employ sweatshops. Let it be known: that when you enjoy your overpriced JORDANS and sh*t AFTER reading this post because I was not perfect either you help this to continue:
From the book:
“If you’re a woman, when you menstruate you still get only the allotted two bathroom breaks per day allowed to everyone; so you have to tie a scarf around your waist or wear a long shirt to cover the blood stains on your pants.”
You only survive on $1.25 a day and sometimes you can’t even afford to feed your babies. Sometimes you have to choose over you eating or them eating.
You work 12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week and to get to work sometimes it takes up to an hour.
Just so you can get your buck and 25 cents to buy your rice and vegetable meal that feeds you little.
This is the life of someone who works at Nike or most any plant for the companies I mentioned.
“If Nike were to double all of their worker’s wages in Indonesia (roughly 1/6 of their workforce) it would cost them approx. 7% of their $1.63 billion ADVERTISING budget (THAT’S JUST THE ADVERTISING). We would see most of these sweatshop labor conditions vanish.”
I beg you all not to buy one overpriced shoe or clothing item from these people. What if it were you?
And black folks this especially goes out to you. We love all these Jordans and Nikes and all that sh*t, but now we’ve become what the majority was to our ancestors while we toiled in fields for nothing.
Don’t buy into the hype. Find another brand that doesn’t utilize these methods. I am sure they are out there.
We must teach our kids the VALUE OF HUMANITY and NOT MATERIALISM so that we as Americans don’t help this circle of poverty.
Children are dying as a result of this. I for one don’t want any part of it.
I fully appreciate that Jaime is trying to get right after having a baby. I know I will. While she looks good, she went overboard with the dress. This is a firey explosion of mess if I ever did see one. Take it back to the lab Jamie. It will be okay. You’re still cute and all. Just play your position…..
After I had my son I refused to believe that I had a gut. I am ashamed that my ass was caught walking around with my gut navigating for me. I was on some true muffin top sh*t. This isn’t happening again. It will be Michael Vick Seattle Seahawk jerseys until I get right.
(He sure does look nerdy right? Like could he have EVER been a drug dealer?) Anyway this guy is an old drug buddy to Jay-Z from back in the day when Jay lived in the projects. He has no love for Jay at all. He sounds very bitter, especially when he explains how he thought Jay-Z was going to help him out after he did his bid in the pen. He was mistaken. So he basically talks a gang of crap about Jay-Z and I’ve got some excerpts for ya:
“To me Jay‘s a white boy on the inside , no offense to any white boys but to me he’s white boy on the inside and I’m waiting for time to tell what he’s gonna do with the outside of himself ,” Klein continued. “ I’m surprised he should have done himself a favor and pout me on his team . How you gon let Akon pull me in , official Konvict. Akon provided the chance and an opportunity for guys like myself , Jay could have done that out the gate but he didn’t.”
“In the 80’s, Jay wasn’t trying to be a drug dealer he was tryna be a rapper but in order for him to transcend himself into this hell of a dude, he had to take characters from the 80’s like myself , said Klein. “ I give him 10% of his life that he talked about; I gotta give him something, [laughs]. He is from Brooklyn, he lived in Marcy Projects, his name is Sean Carter, he got that right.”
This guy is nuts. YOU got in trouble for selling poison to your OWN people. So what if he doesn’t want to help you? That’s like Peter helping Judas after he sold his own for money! Negro please……..
Just let it rest. Sure Jay-Z comes off as bourgeois these days, but I’ll take him over ALL the rappers on the charts right now.
For more of the grammatically butchered interview, click here.
Of course you do! Akon covers Fall Out Boy’s “The Take Over, The Break’s Over.” Now I like Fall Out Boy a little. I haven’t bought their album yet but I did thoroughly enjoy their proteges Panic At The Disco! I will eventually get their albums though. Their lead singer can sing his little heart out. Pete Wentz is a douche but hey…..I’m not here for him. Anyway, if you want to hear Akon, click here to listen.
I strongly urge y’all to check out this video of Ms. Platnum, a German/Hungarian songstress that’s reminiscent of a cross between Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen with a little Fergie (when she’s not rapping). She’s actually not bad. This is her video for her song “Give Me The Food” and girlfriend is not about eating just “yogurt and strawberries,” she’s trying to EAT. Here’s what she had to say about Beyonce, Ciara and Mariah Carey:
“She is a part of me,” Renner says, “but sometimes, it helps to exaggerate: to think of a story not just as your own story, to take parts of it but then make something up, and make a whole new thing. I think the exaggeration and the ironic thing - the humour - is very important. I’m missing that in R&B and soul music right now, so that’s also why I wanted to do something almost against all the Ciaras and Beyoncés. Mariah Carey used to be such a great singer, but now she’s just all plastic. Poor little lady………
I love R&B, I don’t wanna make fun of it,” says Renner. “I just laugh about how people are: I’m pointing the finger at anyone who’s imitating that kind of airbrushed perfection. I just want to make better R&B music, for myself, and find a corner where I fit in. And I’ve realised I don’t fit in this Beyoncé/Ciara type of thing: I don’t look like them, and never will do, so I just try to do my own thing. Most young ladies, when they start thinking about doing R&B or soul or hip-hop, they all look at these types and then they try to imitate them. And realising that you cannot really get there is maybe a good thing. For me it was.”
LMAO @ poor little lady. After seeing Mariah in the video with Bone Thugs “Lil’ L.O.V.E” I concur! Here’s the video (it’s in English don’t worry):
By now we have all read about Usher and Tameka Foster’s wedding being canceled for undisclosed reasons and that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are indeed engaged. I’m not giving it the time of day. Everyone else has the info so check them out and I don’t care about Eddie Murphy lol. As for Usher, that’s some juicy sh*t but until more details come out, I’m going to chill on it.
I respect her talent and I thank her for the attention she has brought to Barbados, but believe you me, if God didn’t give us a Rihanna, he would have given us someone else. So don’t ever for a second get to thinking you are irreplaceable, Rihanna.
Being half Bajan myself, (Barbadian? What do Americans call it?? lol) I have no love for that big head broad so I’m not surprised she isn’t representing. Hell if this blog ever got famous, I’d be swathed in a Bajan flag, a Jamaican flag, a Panamanian flag, a mix of all three, an American/Panamanian half flag, a Space Cadet flag, you name it lol. Rihanna better learn some humility. Because after the American public is done with you, you get sent back to the islands. Ask Billy Ocean……
And her “run” on the top 10 UK charts is OVER. Timbaland and Keri Hilson destroyed her.
This is Red Cafe on the set of yet another n*ggarifficinane rap video. There’s something about the way he wears his hat that makes me want to do a roundhouse kick to his face.
Been awhile since I gave some shine to Weng-Weng. Weng Weng is my people. REAL damned TALK. Check out the way he slays those suckers in the end with the sword. The pause as he lets the last dude marinate in his DEATH…..inspires me. LOL in many ways Weng Weng is like my blog. Small and diminutive but don’t sleep on it or it will slay you with a cyber katana sword!!! HAAAA-YAH!!!!!
Sorry I didn’t post much today y’all. Mad drama with this move and turns out we can’t even move. Anyway if you don’t see much from me check out the familia on the blogroll.

I’m still looking for some cool stuff to write about
Sometimes I’ll run across certain things, usually in the paper, because I read the paper more so than the Web. There’s one or two sites that I can go to. But if I go on the Internet and try to see what people are saying, I’ll probably want to crawl under a rock. (Laughs.) Because I’m still human and certain things, it just hurts, so I try not to read the Internet too much.
Girl stop! You better shake those haters off with your simple minded ass. If I was rich like her and people talked sh*t the paparazzi would be well acquainted with pictures of my buttcrack. Why? Because I’d always make sure they take a picture of me in a position where haters can kiss my ass.
