NEW ISH: the wait is over...

and im not talking about Rihanna. Dondria has FINALLY released her debut video!! i am so geeked about this!! i remember watching her youtube vids before she was discovered by JD...back when she was always eating somethin or drinking some kool aid. always admired her effortless talent. patience is EVERYTHING and i think hers is def gonna pay off.



the visuals in this vid are def stunning. when black and white is done properly...it ALWAYS works.



p.s. speaking of artists with PATIENCE...shout out to Teyana Taylor. i seriously feel like when her time comes she is gonna b a BEAST! i dig her!

POETICALLY INCLINED: it's getting late...

and i'd rather be here. no place else.
submerged in thoughts of our last encounter.
raw. animalistic. taboo.
sipped on my milk and drank all of my essence.
ur invisible prints unabashedly smeared across my canvas.
greedy. attentive. erotic.
jealous of my own 5 senses. cant get enough of you.
excited when i see it. excited when it disappears.
inhibitions. completely. gone.
scold myself for embracing your touch.
but undoubtedly, i'd be lost without it.
it's. getting. late.
so why aren't you here.



fkuc me good.

IM OFF THAT: high society

i am not even going to spend much time talking about this show but i will say, I'M OFF THAT! it's another trashy trailer-ite ("socialite") show that showcases these people making asses of themselves. yes, there are a few ignorant reality shows that have black people acting an ass....but at least they aren't racist. one character, Jules Kirby, so indignantly proclaims that her friends tend not to be fat, Jewish, or black. WTF! oh and of course she "sometimes uses the Nword"....I'M OFF THAT! the whole premise of the show is far from interesting and for some reason, i doubt it's going to last. all of the people featured on the show aren't young, beautiful, or talented in the least. because i am SO disgusted by this show, i wont put it's air times on here or even a picture of the cast. sorry Tinsley....but you should have had better people cast with you.

if you have ever watched and liked a black show on the CW, i encourage you to boycott this low class "high" society show.

NEW ISH: The Simmons Legacy Continues...

i have been hearing about Diggy for a couple of months now. little did i know he was for really about this rap move. last time i checked, he was trying to get his clothing line started. i meeeean, this is a fresh a$$ kid. word to ya mutha. i cant even knock his hustle. he didn't come cheesy or try to gain exposure by starting his career while being filmed for the show. so in my eyes, he's WAY legit! annnnnd, i heard his mixtape is the truth! kudos Diggy! i support ya!

MY 2 CENTS: hello...? can u hear me now?



you all know that #iDie for Beyonce'...she is absolutely EVERYTHING to me. in saying this, i feel like this is a good look for her. pairing up with Lady Gaga is allowing Beyonce' to touch a brand that she wouldn't be able touch on her own. Lady Gaga brings out the freakishly free & sexually uninhibited side of Beyonce' that some "fans" look down on. let's be real, the world has put Beyonce' in a box...so much so, that if she steps out of the cookie cutter Superstar box, she is met with more criticism than praise. i will personally thank Lady Gaga for being a buffer. this out of the box act is expected from Lady Gaga...according to everyone she is on her way to "icon status". i have nothing against the video, it's entertaining and different. plus, videos that are loosely based on movies are always pretty good. real talk, the only thing missing from this video is Nicki Minaj. overall, i give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

BAD BISHES: a case of anomalies

Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga...two very interesting personalities new on the music scene. Lady Gaga in all of her creepy glory is still growing on me and Nicki Minaj's bipolar sexuality constantly throws me for a loop.

GAGA: i personally don't think she needs the over the top antics...her talent is enough. but hey, a gimmick is a gimmick and clearly hers is working. she has a cult following that loves the blood drenched ground she so cleverly plays on. her image is becoming somewhat iconic and why wouldn't it? she is anything but cookie cutter and has a nice voice and interesting records to go along with her persona. im not quite anti-gaga...but i wouldn't say im pro-gaga. she's like that strange neighbor who you speak to but remain wary of.


MINAJ: now miss minaj, she definitely throws me for a loop. i wouldn't say she is extremely talented (but a lot of "femcees" as of late haven't been great lyricists) but she has a talent. she's cute and she has a knack for Mattel. this BarbieNation is growing at an exponential rate. i suppose Young Money will be known for making stars out of artists that have yet to release an album under their label. some say that Nicki is the hip hop version of Lady Gaga...to an extent, i can agree. both are making a mark on this industry in a way that other artists have yet to touch. Nicki Minaj has only released mixtapes and has been featured on songs with artists such as Robin Thicke and Mariah Carey. not to mention, Jay Z recommended Nicki be featured on the Robin Thicke joint...MAJOR!


cant knock the hustle of either one of these ladies....they are doing it by any means necessary and being "themselves" the whole way. all i ask?? remain consistent & true to the "you" that you portray.

LIFE AND SUCH: action activates

This week I was listening to a training on YouTube by Mark Hughes (founder of Herbalife) and he said something that was so simple and yet so...
