Kelis: "Pretty is Boring"

Kelis did an interview a few days ago with Popbytes, talking about her upcoming album and her thoughts on some of the hot artists in the industry, Rihanna & Lady Gaga to name a few.

Most of the interview was boring up until the end, where Kelis revealed some interesting viewpoints about life and the music industry. Fast forward to 11:05 and hear what Kelis had to say about versatility in the industry, and about women embracing themselves as they grown and mature mentally and physically. Check it out!!



Click below to hear Kelis's new song "Acapella" It's aight...I'm so on and off with her. For the most part I like her style, but her music is all over the place. This song here is definitely not for the brown bears!!

Robin Thicke & Nikki Minaj on 106

No more camel toes for Nikki!! Anyone who seen her last club performance knows what I'm talking about (lol). Ms. Barbie looked stunning as she stepped on the set of 106 & Park yesterday, to perform her collabo single with Robin Thicke, "Shaking It For Daddy."

I'm so feeling Nikki....she brings me hope for the female rap game. After Eve fell off and Lil Kim started dancing with the starz....I felt neglected....and as much as I like Trina, she wasn't holding it down.

Anywho, check out the performance....doesn't Nikki look great!!

What in the Holly He!! Happened to Cameron ?

Mr. Pretty in Pink, Cameron, isn't looking so good these days. Has anyone seen the Clipse new video "Popular Demand?"

Well for a three piece meal at Popeyes, Cameron agreed to spit a few lines on the Clipse's comeback single. Dressed in a blue and white flannel shirt....a jagged beard and munching on french fries, Cameron made his guest appearance, and my was I surprised. Take a look:




I knew the recession was real but DAMN....Cameron looks like he needs a stimulus plan...

Can Monica Do It Again?

Her style remains fabulous, her voice is still strong, but will Monica top the charts and reclaim her crown in the music industry? I don't think so.

If you watched episode 6 of Monica's BET series "Monica Still Standing" then you know what I'm talking about. During this episode Monica performed and sampled a few songs she's working on for the release of her new highly anticipated album. While her vocals still ring the bells of heaven, the lyrics and tracks she's working with are WEAK.

The tempo on every track sounds the same...and it's lacking major flavor. With hot artists in the game like Rihanna, Beyonce, and Keri Hilson, Monica needs to do a little more to get peoples attention. I wish she would call Kanye, Timberland, Swizz Beatz, or the Neptunes to make her a hot track, because that 1990's flavor is not gonna get it..

I'm a big Monica fan....and I'm happy to see her back on the scene. I hope she finds direction and a good manager (not a friend/fan) to help her reinvent herself to be competitive in today's market. At the rate she's going...the BET series might be the best thing she has to offer.

New Alicia Keys & Beyonce

I'm so feeling this new collabo with Alicia Keys and Beyonce"Put It In a Love Song." Check it out and let me know what you think!

Black in the Age of Obama

Today on the "The Black Eagle," Joe Madison talked about an article written by NY Times columnist, Charles M. Blow, titled "Black in the Age of Obama," The article discussed the impact of the Obama presidency on blacks in America, and let me just say....WOW!

This article made some very strong accusations about President Obama and his loyalty to the black community. Check out the article and let me know what you think...click here!

Melanie Fiona Depresses Me....

With her latest single...."It Kills Me." Hated it!!!!!



I mean really...this song is absolutely pathetic. Fiona sounds real desperate and thirsty on this track...it's not a good look and I don't like the message its delivering. I don't know about you, but she lost me at the last sentence of the first verse, "I can't be alone...I need you to come on home...I know your messing around...but who the hell else is gonna hold me down."

This is exactly why I love female artists like Beyoncé. Her music is always motivating and encouraging for women to see the value in themselves and to never settle for less.....I.E. "Irreplaceable," "Me, Myself & I," "Free," need I say more...

Don't get me wrong, I like Fiona. She's a beautiful, talented woman, but this song is not doing it for me...sorry boo!

I'm Back....

After being on hiatus or a few weeks.... celebrating my 27th birthday and Thanksgiving Holiday kept me busy....but now that I've had a chance to regroup, refocus and rest...I'm ready for war.

I'm working on some new projects and would love your feedback and support. I'll be opening the new year with a new television production called "UNCUT" which will give viewers a behind the scenes glance at various events and social affairs. It isn't reality TV...but UNCUT real TV....clips that most editors delete. Stay tuned for more details and when the pilot show will air.

Real Talk Radio is doing well, and is now being broadcast on two stations, WEBR and BlogTalkRadio. For all of my listeners that had a hard time tuning into WEBR...Blogtalk is a good way to channel in and catch up on shows you've missed.

In addition to that I'm moving forward with my production company, Media Star Productions. I've been working on several events for myself and in conjunction with EZ Street from 93.9 WKYS. If you or anyone you know is in need a videographer and/or editor...let me know.

Many hugs and kisses for my faithful readers and supporters. I definitely couldn't do it without you! Thank you for keeping me motivated and encouraging me to reach new heights. God Bless!!
