BANANAS. DOPE. FLY. ILL.
The song was hot before but this video just put it on an entirely different level for me.
Hype Williams did a great job directing it...
Jay kills it like always...
Alicia "Thick in the Hips" Keys looks good...
and I don't know what else to say...
*Looks for competition*....C'mon son stop kiddin yourselves

Job well done.

I Can Transform Ya/Ain't Chu You


The highly anticipated video for Chris Brown's "I Can Transform Ya"
I actually digg the song and I'm not disappointed by the video
It is what it is I guess.

...I don't even know how to really respond...

Say Something Baby...

This is it for me right now! Tim & Drake did their thing on this one!

Just Take It All In



Check out our First Lady Michelle Obama as hosting a "Healthy Kids Fair" to introduce fun activities and healthy eating to about 100 parents and kids on the South Lawn of the White House. She even participated in the games herself! She never disappoints me!

Oh So Precious



So the cast of the movie Precious is featured in the latest issue of New York Times magazine! You can read the article and what director Lee Daniels had to say Here. It's quite interesting....very honest you could say.

 
Great shots! Mo'nique just had to show off the new body huh? I digg tho lol

Is anybody else as excited about this movie as I am??? I mean really, have you seen the previews??? It has already won several awards and has gained a lot of recognition, and there's also some Oscar buzz!! The lead actress Gabourey Sibide is so not the ordinary lead actress, and that's why I'm so excited about it because she's dark-skinned, she's thick, and she IS the average female. And Mo'nique?!?! From the looks of the previews she does her thing! So I'm ready. It will be out in limited theaters next month...make sure you go and see it.

H.A.T.E. U

Check out this performance of H.A.T.E. U by Mariah Carey. 


The song is from her new CD Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which is actually quite good...minus that out of place song Obsessed.
BANANAS.

She's BAAACK...I Guess...


Soooo the "long awaited comeback" of Rihanna has finally arrived...I guess lol
Click the link below DUH!
I don't know, Russian Roulette is a nice song, but I'm not really feeling it as a single.
It just doesn't feel like it has #1 potential, I'm just saying...
She does show off her "vocal abilities" though, as she did in Unfaithful so that's a plus...right?
The cover art for the single is on point. So..... it is what it is.
Her new album entitled Rated R  should be in stores November 23rd.


A. Keys


Definitely not my favorite Alicia Keys song by far, but the video looks good and Miss Keys looks amazing!
Of course this is the first single from her upcoming CD "The Element of Freedom" which is due to hit stores December 1st.

Addiction


One of the best shows I have ever seen.
If you haven't seen it yet, then you are truly missing out because it gives you everything plus more.
It's 6th season premiered tonight(10/14) so please watch it.
It's kind of a big deal. It's kind of amazing. 
That is all.

New Music


This is nice!
I kinda pushed him aside with that last so-called album...but I'm feelin this one!
Well-done Mr. Thicke



I wasn't really checkin too much for this guy anymore but I like this song.
Maybe I will look out for his new album...emphasis on maybe lol


And The Winner Is....

President Obama???
So apparently, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize!
Here's what committee(Norwegian Nobel Committee) chairman Thorbjoern Jagland had to say:
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future."
He is only the third sitting U.S. President--Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919--to win such an award. A lot of people are kind of confused because they don't think he deserves it, saying he hasn't really done anything....
Maybe he hasn't done what they want him to do, but he's done what he could and that's all we ask of him...he's not a magician people lol. Besides, what other President has inspired the world to do and be better, what other President gave the youth hope(especially the black youth), and what other President has opened the door to topics such as race??? He's done a lot, but of course in our society he will never do enough....that's sad. But to stay positive I just want to tell my President CONGRATUALTIONS!!!

Can't Get Away From It

I know I said I was tired of black/gray clothing but sometimes it's just what I need. Take this collection by Gianfranco Ferre...BANANAS. Each jacket, that suit, those sweaters...they need to be in my closet asap.

Guilty Pleasure


I've only seen the first episode but I'm already hooked! Sherri's a very funny woman!
Definitely check it out

Usher- Papers


"I know it’s you I love, but I also know it's you I don’t like.." lol
Okay I can get with this one Mr. Raymond! Clearly directed towards Tameka, he kinda goes in without going too far. Good stuff. His album Raymond vs. Raymond (previously Monster) is said to hit stores December 8th.  
Hopefully it will be better than the last album...I'm just saying.

Rihanna/Solange

 
These two are some very fly young ladies...always bringing it in their own unique way. What more could one ask for?
 
Ladies take note please.
