Oprah Smoked Crack...? WTF!?

There is a tell -all book being released by Queen Oprah's ex-boyfriend from the 80's called The Wizard of O- My Life With Oprah Winfrey. Supposedly the dick, I mean dude, is dying of cancer and instead of raking in the good karma he's decided to pay his medical bills with blood money.

In his book he's claiming that Oprah smoked crack with him, and taught him how to freebase (which is basically the worst possible way to smoke crack and immediately hooks you). He said that she even went on her show back in the day still high on crack. Yikes!

Well I CAN believe that Oprah was a crack head-I mean come on sister girl had it BAD back when she was a kid and dropped MAJA weight out of the blue AND...MYSTERIOUSLY can't..I mean doesn't have any children. Adds up in my eyes. So now the whole world is going to judge Oprah for having a vice or two before she went all Jesus.

I say lay off. Clinton screws hoes, Obama smokes fags (cigarettes), Shania Twain used to be a porn star and Oprah used to be a crack head. SO WHAT? She's still friggin awesome....

Plane Crashes in Hudson River....

Ok...

WTF....

I'm already majorly scared of flying and now this?

Today a US Airlines flight headed to North Carolina encountered some stray birds and apparently couldn't take the heat. It had to make an emergency landing in the middle of the Hudson River and everyone was evacuated safely. No deaths or serious injuries, I imagine aside from the FREEZING COLD temps today (it snowed, 18 degrees...).

I would be so messed up in the head over that...at least I'd have MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to help me get through it.

They are SO sued.

The Child Named "Adolf Hitler"

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

This I don't understand. I know the father argues the point that in America you can name your child anything you want (although...hello numb-shit you can pretty much do that anywhere...)but why would a parent ever do anything that didn't give their child the most beneficial start in life? Why would you name your child after a man who created mass genocide, so that people can tease and ridicule them for the rest of their lives? It's been reported that these kids have since been taken from their parents and given to the state for reasons unknown. I'm sure it's not because of the name thing, but perhaps for the quaalude & heroine shake mommy and daddy share for breakfast every morning...?

Kanye West....WTF?!

Not to take anything away from Mr. West here... I mean he IS an amazing artist. His energy is high, releasing an album every year since 2004 and producing countless singles and albums for other artists since 2001; and his music is far from ordinary. He takes hip hop to another level and much like Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams (of N.E.R.D.) and Mos Def (my personal fave) he has raised the bar for urban music to a level that few can reach. Having said THAT....

...WTF, Kanye??

After his win at the MTV EMA's (European Music Awards) this past week , West was quoted saying, "I won nothing last year and I'd brought out Stronger. Then this year, just because I was there, I won best urban act. This was Lil Wayne's year." But the gush of appreciation didn't end there...he went on to say, "Britney Spears over Rihanna? Are you serious? I mean fucking Jared Leto? He's my boy but he shouldn't have won over some of those other artists."

Well, I'll admit that Jared Leto might be far from America's favorite list of artists and I'm DEFINITELY not a fan of the whole "blood bath" scenario at 30 Seconds to Mars' concerts; but they're concepts are one of a kind, the music is sincere and their videos are something to take note of, not to mention it's EUROPEAN music awards, and their taste is usually far different that that of the US. As far as Britney over Rihanna is concerned...I can't argue, that was an entirely unfounded choice and obviously a corporate decision given her embarrassingly wobbly (and by wobbly I mean the 'fat-jiggle') performance she gave at the VMA's last year. Kanye should be thankful he got an award and graciously accept. Shut up, count your millions and stop complaining about all the love your getting that you probably deserved last year; better late than never.

BUT....it doesn't stop there, folks.

West was also quoted as saying, ‘‘I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice... It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.’’

So how does Kanye get this honor of being dubbed "the voice of this generation"? A Michael Jordan reference? Was their a 1/8 of a lifetime achievement award he received that I've somehow missed?? He undoubtedly is a large influence in hip hop music today, but lets not forget that the world does not revolve around hip hop music. He's not an actor, a painter, an activist, a diplomat or anything much more than an, albeit amazing, producer and lyricist. Although his music touches people of all preferences, it's still soundly considered Urban Hip Hop. Being "the voice" of a generation, at least in my humble opinion requires more than just that. I mean, he's really dumbing down the potential of this generation by naming himself the King.

With all of the musical influences of the past decade, Kanye has definitely ruled the commercial music scene for the last 4 years, but his place is hardly in same halls of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley or Elvis Presley (pick your era)... I think he's still got some proving to do. And if he thinks his job is done after 4 or 5 short years of being a household name, his light will end up burning out quicker than he can imagine.

Sorry Kanye, but as far as being the voice of my generation....

you gotta speak up a little louder to speak for me.

12 Play: Plays with 12 Year Olds

If there is actually anyone out there who truly feels that Robert Kelly, a.k.a. R. Kelly, is innocent of the crimes he's currently accused of, please feel free to smack the shit out of your own self right now and go sit in the corner. The guilt is as plain as the big ass earrings his old ass wears in his floppy ass ears.

Pardon me, I tend to have a lack of sympathy for perverts of any caliber.

I'm pretty sure that this is all going to go down as predictably as I imagine. Another typical Hollywood, make-shift court decision. Kelly will probably be found guilty of something and have to pay damages and get put on probation for a few years, but will basically be set free to exploit someone else's underage daughter. His pockets are far too deep to actually have to do time in a place where he will surely get his ass pounded in by the inmates who have (like myself) zero tolerance for men who choose their sexual partners from the kiddy pool. The whole thing is going to go the same route such cases as Phil Spector, OJ Simpson and Micheal Jackson's went. All accused of crimes they CLEARLY committed. All found "innocent". But lets just look at the evidence at hand.

I don't know if everyone in the entire world has forgotten the very first peculiar and perverted act R. Kelly committed, and that was marrying 15 year old Aaliyah back in 94'. They came out with court documents showing a marriage license and proving the rummer to be true only two years ago. The ONLY reason a (then) 27 year old man would want anything to do with a 15 year old girl is to get busy. Kelly has obviously had an obsession with little girls for quite some time. Lately, there have been all kinds of witnesses surfacing who are saying that Kelly had sex with them before they were 18, and they know the girl who was in the video. That he has an entire video collection of kiddy porn. That his "people" have paid off several girls who tried to come forward about it. And the only thing his team of defense attorneys seem to have on their side is a mysterious "mole" that is absent from the said video, that R. Kelly reportedly has on his body. They are also claiming that the video could have been digitally altered to replace heads to the bodies in the video. Because maybe the people at PIXAR got a hold of it and decided to devise a plan to bring R. Kelly down. Whatever their excuse is, there is still the very strong issue of character at hand. He simply has a history of liking the younger ladies. There is no reason to assume R. Kelly is NOT a pervert. All this hush hush and people getting paid off, and witnesses refusing to testify is getting out of hand. He can't just do whatever he wants just because he was hot in the 90's (cause lets face it Usher stomped him out like 5 years ago), and has a ton of money. He can't exploit young girls the way that he does, and he shouldn't be able to get away with any of this. If there is any justice in this country (which we know there isn't) Kelly would not only be castrated but put to sleep like the nasty, horny dog that he is.

12Play was the SHIT though...

Best Picture Ever

Nas Says N*gger

I say speak for yourself.

There's no denying that Nas is a talented lyricist. His words are captivating, his voice is clear. His position in hip hop, regardless of the nay-sayers, is firmly in place. But his soon-to-be released album which currently bares no title....? (Update: My bad, his album as of 5/19 is entitled "Nas".) Not so much. The original title, for those of you living under rocks this year, was supposed to be "Nigger". He proudly announced this fact last October. But the reality of it is record sales will surely suffer if Target and Best Buy can't put his CD on their squeaky clean shelves, so it was recently stated that the title will be changed to something more the-man-friendly.

Humph....whatever Nas.

Lets get this straight, shall we? Nas was quoted as saying he wants to "..take the power out of the word nigger..." by repeating it over and over in his new album and calling the entire LP "Nigger". Or perhaps the reality is, that Nas is low on funds and wants to exploit the nigger-happy generation of today by selling them his latest rhymes wrapped up with a big nigger-bow to make them feel as though they've made some kind of statement by buying (literally) into his bull shit. As if this is some kind of activist movement, some kind of social uprising. Give me a break.

Nigger is and always will refer to ignorance. The use of it only points the finger at you. Stamping the word across your face doesn't make it less offensive, it just elevates it's platform to cause damage. There's already enough negative connotation associated with the word "Black", why add fuel to the fire? The word "Nigger" is alive today because our own people continue to braid it into music, movies and literature. No one is pounding fists in our faces, spraying water hoses at our bodies or releasing dogs in the streets. There are no segregation laws, no provincial exploitations of our human rights. We have just as many rights and opportunities today (and for the last 40 years) as the next Jim, John or Suzie. So what "statement" could Nas possibly think he would be making with a CD entitled "Nigger"? Aside from the power of suggestion, the most commonly used form of advertisement today.

I'm puzzled.

Could it be, and I tentatively speculate, that Nas simply wants to get some attention. This is his black-boy version of a scandalous headline to be splashed across the tabloid pages so that by any means necessary Nas is dubbed a household name? Is this his screaming tantrum? Because if it is, I truly wish that he would kindly speak for himself. As a black woman who has lived on both sides of the tracks I most definitely am not where I came from. I am not who I came from and I'm FAR from being a nigger any day of the week. I don't hold the ghetto as a badge of honer, I hold it as an obstacle that was over come by my family. I don't think the stories of my grandparents and my friends grandparents about how they marched in the streets begging to be recognized as equal citizens are mere humorous antidotes. I'm proud enough to boycott an album I otherwise would have rushed out to buy (not burn). I'm proud enough to feel ashamed of yet another black man who has risen above the odds against him, and found a stage to voice his opinions. And with the spot light blazing on his face and the world as his audience; hushed quiet and waiting in anticipation for what this representation of Black society has to say....He clears his throat, steps before the waiting mic and clearly states:

"I know I'm a black man, but I prefer Nigger. Cop my joint."

Thanks, Nas...good lookin out.

American Fuckery...

Maybe it's because I was watching VH1 Soul with my friends the other day or maybe I just have a sudden sense of black pride swelling in my heart, but shit like this:

...is what is wrong with America today. My friend pointed this out to me in an email, and I have to agree with her, Vogue, of all the venues should know better than to acknowledge the most stereotypical example of a white girl as the American standard of beauty. It's bad enough that 95% of the time, main stream magazines pimp out volume after volume of issues sporting covers graced by the blond, blue eyed "Americans", but to state clearly on the cover that it's "All American Beauty"...is just beyond comprehension. Especially since her last name is Panettiere...what is that, French?? What about this person makes her All American??

AMERICAN, is the 168 countries that are represented by the students in the New York City public schools alone. American is every color of the rainbow. It's half breed babies and adopted children, gay and straight people, hippies, health nuts, leather-clad wanderers and uptown socialites. American is not blond and it's definitely not blue eyed. It's a messy, chaotic abstract painting of everything imaginable. And we should be damn proud of that.

But apparently we aren't supposed to be. This is why little black girls who grow up in white neighborhoods pull and straighten their beautiful kinky hair so they resemble their pale counterparts. It's why the same little girls feel ugly because she doesn't look like the girls around her, or the girls on the cover of the mainstream magazines. In order to be comfortable with being black you have to be ok with being the exception to the rule, instead of the rule itself.

Just ONCE I would like to see Selma Hayek or Gabrielle Union on the cover of one of these magazines with the same caption. Just once I would like to NOT notice how many same-format white girls are representing designer labels that originate from countries whose majority population is FAR from the American "standard". A boxy-shaped blue eyed blond is FAR from America's beauty. Just like BASEBALL is far from the American past time, and HAMBURGERS and FRENCH FRIES are far from America's favorite meal.

Sick sick sick

Why?!

Ok so, someone apparently knocked out Suge Knight at the club over the weekend. He was heard yelling, "Where's my money!" and then after Suge and his body guards roughed the dude up, he got up off the floor and threw a punch so hard it knocked Suge cold out for three minutes. Then after Suge was taken to the hospital, he refused to press charges. That's probably because he doesn't want any "official"evidence that he was upset about the whole thing so that when the dude ends up DEAD, DISMEMBERED, and BURIED in some random location, there is no real evidence against him. Why would you punch Suge Knight.... why???

Why?!

I remember being in high school when the Ruff Ryders got hot. Every boy in my class wanted to be like DMX and every girl was a big Eve fan. But this is the second time dude has been arrested in like a week. And this time apparently he barricaded himself in his bedroom when the police came to get him. Ehmmm...let us pray.

Why?!

This idiot, attempted to cash a check for $360,000,000,000! Thats 360 BILLION dollars for those of you who (like me) have never seen that many zeros. Why does this blunt object of a man have to be a NEGRO?? I gotta say he had to be smokin some herb when that idea occurd to him. Because when your high these are the kinds of ideas that you come up with. Man, all I gotta do is find me a blank check....write out an amount for ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD...and then I can finally get my Chev fixed.

At this point, I'm just ashamed we share the same ancestors.

And, but why is her name "buffey" though?.... This is too much.

This is actually pretty hilarious to me. This video shows the Muslim tradition of "Baby Dropping" in West India. It's a little hard to watch at first, but it kinda makes me laugh. How one cultures devine and sacred tradition is another cultures 'wtf' moment. Enjoy:
