 Bad Girls Take 10: The Trials and Pitfalls of Valentina.

 

After being pinned as a bully all season it wasn't surprising some of the fellow cast mates held a grudge against the Nigerian fired up diva.

 

As the reunion approached many of us wondered in peril, excitement and quite frankly utter disgust, as to the possibilities of what young, bad ass and misguided attention slurring bad girls had in store for audiences tuning in everywhere. The too often misunderstood Valentina and the accompanying tragic mis-directed cast mates, proved that ratchetness everywhere is becoming the difference between the walk and the talk and plain out the new buffoonery handed out as a ticket in exchange for your self worth with a quick buck in return.

Valentina's beat down, though by some measure warranted was painful to watch and stomach. I won't trip on the non-sense moral as to what is and what is not the appropriate way to get a beat down. BUT I will note that all you Bad Girl's or Mean Girls, whatever you self identify with at present; YOU ALL NEED HUGS.

xoxo,

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MS. HILL: ONE MOMENT AT A TIME

 

 

 

 

Our beloved Lauryn Hill has been sentenced to 3 months in jail. Talk about some BULLSHIT! John Locke is the godfather of the social contract, and I do not see the lesson learned: pay taxes go to jail; don't pay taxes go to jail. But why you ask do we pay taxes?? If not to protect our interests, and if its not about family first, my family or your family then what is it about? People wake up, we are living in a punishment society, and it is not serving the people, all the people, especially Black people. We inherit the world from our children. Them tax dollars better work for the children that are inevitably imprisoned and doing a term when we imprison their mothers..

Check out her new track..."Neurotic Society"...Can't lie this may make for some nice press.

Sincerely pissed off,

Monro

Dentiny's Child is Back!

Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle are back together.  Today, the trio dropped their new single “Nuclear”.  The track is a rhythmic dance groove with those familiar sounds and harmonies of Destiny's Child.  With lyrics inspired by physics and chemistry, the song takes on a scientific approach to love.  Produced by Pharrell Williams, this track is reminiscent of hit songs from the early to mid 2000’s with the memorable sounds of those Neptunes tracks from back in the day.  Have a listen.  Are you feeling Destiny’s Child’s comeback tune after their 8-year separation?

2 Chainz and His Difference

2 Chainz recently released a video for his 3rd single - "I'm Different".  Although his popularity is controversial as many people would probably agree to disagree where his musical talents are concernced, one thing is for sure; art is controversial, and controversy sells art. In this video, 2 Chainz takes his viewers on a visual ride of challenge and provocation.  His video if filled with scenes of abnormality and difference (in the normalized sense).  He keeps his viewers in a state of watchfulness as he performs in a rather flamboyant outfit, different from other mainstream rappers (aside from Mr. West).  With scenes of "thugs" pulling over cops, topless car washes with women as the patrons, and a scantily clad old man as the worker/car washer, and oh did I mention he is riding down the street in a boat?! Yep.  Talk about pushing boundaries.

2 Chainz sure did show us that he's "different".  But aside from this being an entertaining piece, I think he and his team of directors did a decent job at creating something controversial while challenging societal norms and accepted behaviors.  Although his rapping talents are certainly debatable at times (whose aren't?) his video is a great spark for adding more controversy to his already started fire of fame.  Maybe he intended on this video to be thought-provoking and a medium for  critical discussion... or maybe he just did it to be different to sell more records.  Either way, I don't really know the motive, but I certainly don't mind the outcome. 

Pull up to the scene with my ceiling missing!

I Am: My Truth No Matter What!

Celebrities With Their Best Foot Forward 2013 Steez.

Mariah Carey...Despite the ungracious stint with Nicki Minaj, she graces us with the Diva we all know and love.

 

Kanye West...Despite his forward mouth with no apologies for the end receiver...the look on his face for the KimYe baby boom tells us we are in store for many gifts ahead.

 

The unapologetic Rihanna has made headlines, the most profound Unapologetic album of 2012 and all in time to reunite with her controversial beau Chris Brown. The starlett never fails to shock, contest and revel while wearing her heart on her sleeve.





The articulate and poetic words of Drake do not fail as the rapper has propelled himself from the hit Canadian TV series Degrassi to stages around the world, gracing many with his lyrical genius. His brush with the law and more so Chris Brown's entourage has put him in hot water, which he is no stranger to still standing his ground and fighting back. We wish you the best Drake!
