Rhythmic Roundup...

Past and present Viva Mac Glam girls get together to figure whos penis is bigger..Rupauls or Missy Elliots..my vote goes to missy (YBF)

And here i though large amounts of protein on your face would make it blemish free..no luck for bow wow (A Hot Mess)

Lil Wayne will Murder your newborns..or some shit (Talk Of The Town)

Karma Will Get that ass!! (Sugar and Spice)

Lets hope this new makeover will stop making Lilly Allen as enjoyable as a piss soaked blanket (Does this come in Pink)

I aint mad atcha bitch!

Well well well...maybe my judgement the other day about miss Janet was abit too hasty...maybe she knows what shes doing after all, and judging from this new Promo shot of Janet i think she does...I must say that I love being proved wrong by artist I love...This is how i like my Janet..fierce with a side of sass...she can save that homely mess from 20 y.o....Lookin like she was about to goto a Luncheon hosted by Oprah in every damn picture...give me glam! give me sequence! give me wind machines!!!!..Yea the pic is photoshopped to the point where it could be considered an oil painting..BUT she looks fierce....More info is out about the upcoming Janet project which is reportedly titled Discipline and is set to be released the day before MY birthday..the 26th of February..something tells me that month is gonna be something BIG with rumor releases from Madonna and Mariah i think its safe to say February is gonna be Fabuary (sorry i had to do it)

I laugh, You laugh!!!

I personally think this clip is one of the funniest things ive seen in a hot minute.. In the mood to laugh at some ridiculousness and foolery?... Do yourself a favor and click Play!..oh and dont get offended because yanno..its never THAT serious

New Chrisette Michele Video for "Be Ok"

Amazing vocalist and all around beauty Chrisette Michele has a brand spankin new video out for her third single "Be Ok"...I think this is one of the best tracks on the brilliant debut so im glad to see she Def Jam decided to make it a single. Wil I Am produced the song, and while i think the other wil produced track "Lets Rock" would have been a better choice, im inlove with this video here...absolutely takes Chrisette to a new place and i think its enough to get her some Mtv and Bet love..Lord knows Vh1 has been the only one really representing! but i cant stress this enough! do yourself a favor and go out and buy Chrisettes debut album "I AM"..its in stores NOW!

50th Grammy Nominations: My 2 cents

So my favorite time of the year is rolling around...AWARD SEASON! ontop of 534654646 award shows that occur during that season..its my birthday!...the weathers cool! and most of all the holidays are OUT of the way!....the nominations for the only 50th Annual Grammys came out last week and i must say for the most part..this year...its the best showcase of talent and deserving nominations that the grammys have seen in YEARS...ofcourse in true grammy fashion when they hit they HIT (Amy and Kanye deserved every nomination!) and when they miss they MISS (Souljah boy? seriously?)..and most of all WHERE THE FUCK IS JOSS STONE!?!?!?...But Im throwing in my 2cents on the categories i give a shit about on who should win and who will win while adding alil commentary here and there

• Beyonce - Irreplaceable
• Foo Fighters -The Pretender
• Rihanna - Umbrella
• Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around...Comes Around
• Amy Winehouse - Rehab

This award isnt for the actual artist but for the Producers and the Engineers and what not...so stans NO beyonce doesnt deserve this award simply because she can make gale force winds seem "fierce"...Im going with Rehab because Mark Ronson is an absolute Genius! but we kno the Foo Fighters will take it because yanno...U2 and the Dixie chicks sat this year out

• Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters
• Kanye West - Graduation
• Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

I have a feeling Herbie is gonna snatch this one up, throw some upset in the game something wicked...but Amy Winehouse should definately take it in my opinon..Back to black was an absolute FLAWLESS album.

New Janet Jackson Isn't anything..well...new

So by now im sure uve guys heard the new track by Janet that has leaked entitled " "Feedback"
Welp I would have preferred if she would have named the song something abit more suiting to the sound and the overall feel of the record...something along the lines of "fuck effort" or..."my career? who cares"...OR my personal favorite "If So Excited didnt work, why would this?" ...Yup folks, basically this sounds like something that would have went beautifully on 20 Y.O....Im not saying thats a bad thing at all! i actually enjoyed that album more than a few in the past (Damita Jo anyone?)...BUT..I dont think its anything that will make people give a damn let alone buy the new album..kinda like...yanno... the material from 20 Y.O...BUT what do u guys think? hot or not? career saving worthy or album filler?

2007 Movies Rock Peformances

So last week the movies rock special was aired and i must admit, after watching it (only yesterday mind you, told yall ive been busy) i must say that i enjoyed it! and with all the urban acts u could swear up and down it was the soultrain awards circa 1998! loved it!...but heres some of the memorable performances if u guys havent checked them out already...

First off we have miss Jennifer Hudson singing "Somewhere"....now considering that everyone from Barbara Streisand to Aretha Franklin to the homeless man that roams the local circle K has a version of this song..i think Jennifer was the smartest choice to sing this song... with all potential arguments of her possibly shrieking the entire song aside...i dug it

Heres beyonce performing Somewhere Over the Lacefront Rainbow...i think the performance was an overall good one to be honest..nothing to piss the sheets over, but she worked it out and managed to take the attention away from that project runway gone wrong dress she had one..i can hear michael coors now... "I DONT GET IT!"

Head on over to RapUp to view some of the other memorable, and not so memorable, performances of the night...Nicole Scherrtosnbiuzinger singing "Diamonds are a girls bestfriend"? who in the hell authorized that and when did they get fired? geesh!...AND! i would have LOVED to see someone perform "Home" from the Wiz...wouldnt that have been HOT! if they had Mariah galivant her ass onstage and try to sing that? I love MiMi to death but in the past few years her ass has proved shes not the BEST live performer...so i pick her to sing that just because theres a chance her ass might pass out tryna hold the notes *shrugs*

Tyra wont be Smiling with her eyes when she sees this

Janice on The Today show talking about Body image, how Tyra is fat and blah blah blah...fast forword to 2:25..THATS when the magic happens!!!! anyhoo Janices show "The Janice Dickensons Modeling Agency" comes on Tonight on Oxygen

Finals Week...

I kno I kno I kno the posting has been to a MINIMUM as all get out lately but this week is finals! *hiss* but wish me luck because in the immortal words of miss Amy Winehouse "i cant got the time" to be repeatin any courses shooooo....but stay with me guys while i try and catch up on the goins ons that have taken place since ive been in a gin induced coma in the books!!!

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

New Video Roundup

First up we have the new Keyshia Cole video for her new single "I Remember" from Just Like You.

Keyshia Cole- I Remember (Music Video)
Uploaded by Phillips-Entertainment

Love love love the video, absolutely gorgeous and this is the first time in a long time i see a video for a ballad that suits the over all feeling of the song. I actually thought, and would have preferred, for "heaven sent" to have been the third single but im digging this too...I dont know what keyshia was thinkin with that Miki Howard '"im in love under new management" hairstyle tho...but for the most part i give it an A girl..i aint mad atcha


Up next we have everyones favorite basterd child Miss Kelly Rowland herself.

Work
Uploaded by kevipodblog

Why this wasnt her first single and her first video is beside me, this is the most belieivable effort ive ever seen from her. while i could have done without the "showtime at the apollo dancer from the 80s routine at the end, i actually dug the video, she looked absolutely gorgeous and for a minute u didnt think it was a rejected treatment for a Beyonce video that Mathew threw her way (now yall KNOW Beyonce got the treatment for "like this" first and was like WTF???)

Keep it Cute till the Weekend yall...

Because thats when i shall be returning! but your ass just got back! i kno right..but ehhh this close to finals week i figure why not miss class!?!?! lol but no, im headin up north to Jackson California to peep out Musiq and Chrisette Michele do their thing in concert and maybe gallivant to San Francisco and do something lude in the streets to get me thrown in jail *shrugs*...but to my many many many readers *holds in laughter* i shall return promptly this weekend with my usual postings and sass! keep it tight....in the meantime, NO bootlegging Mary...NOT COOL! and RIP to PimpC and my prayers are with his family.

Mary J in the new issue of Rap-Up

Mary J is featured in the upcoming December/January issue of Rap Up Magazine
and in it the Queen talks about whos shes listening to, how happy she is, and who she thinks is comin for the crown...heres a snippet of the interview

Who are you listening to now?
"Amy Winehouse, her album is insane. I know it's old now 'cuzz you know it's been out, but it's just probably the best record thats been out and it's really good music"

I kno thats right Mary...i KNO thats right...and while were on Mary check out her cover for the new issue of Billboard magazine...Work it! and check back for the Growin Pains album review that im gonna put up within the next few days

'Hold It Dont Drop It' Video

This is how i like to return...with some sassyness! i love it, this is how i prefer my Jlo..glamorous...because we ALL kno that hoe aint been to the "block" in years, so she can save the gelled down baby hair look...This is my favorite song from the album and i just wish the this song could have gotten the choreographed heavy video it deserves that i KNOW jlo could have delivered...if yanno...she wasnt sperminated with the child of the undead...but what do u all think?
