I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HARAJUKA-NINJA- BARBIE-NICKI MINAJ. She is definitely on her rise to the top. She raps and sings and currently is signed with young money entertainment. She currently released a mix tape by the name of "Beam me Up Scotty", which received rave reviews by various music channels and is set to release a new mix tape in 2010 named "The Rap Barbie". I believe she has the power and is already well on her wayto resurrect female rap, she's next in line for young money but I don't think she'll be waiting long. Translation: ......IT'S BARBIE BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ManeTales......GOOD HAIR

Soooo I've been natural for about four years and when I say natural, I mean all I put on my hair is water and grease and go....but I have a nasty addiction to weave....lol. I know y'all prolly think that it is crazy but really weave is so convienent, after get past the technical parts ofcourse. I recently indulged in the hair documentary by Chris Rock called good hair, and it was so fascinating to me that I watched it about three times. Y'all it was so good it almost made me start rocking my fro!!!! It explained the connection of black women to their perms which are referred to in the movie as "Creamy Crack", and how long, straight hair is deemed as "good hair". Watching this movie made me sit back and ask myself,"What exactly is good hair?" And I thought and thought and finally came up with the conclusion that there is no such thing, its just our race has been brainwashed into thinking that our natural, textured, thick hair isn't beautiful. Chris Rock went around to different hair shops trying to sell black hair and no one would take it. It was upsetting to think that something that grows out of my head in a textured, natural state is regarded as unnatural. I love my natural hair and plan to lock it upon graduation, and I've already made the vow to not perm my girls hair if i have any. I don't knock anyone who gets perms because half of us got them before we really knew what they did or the addiction it would produce later in life; but if only you could fathom how dangerous the chemicals ,sodium hydroxide, guanidine hydroxide or ammonium hioglycolate, are you would never want it to touch your head again. These chemicals demolished an aluminum can and ate through a piece of raw chicken within minutes; PERMS can ruin your hair follicles and cause baldness.Hair is such a lucrative business. There is a black market for hair in India, they lie and tell the women they are scalping their hair for GOD when they are really selling it....how low can you get....pissed me off!!! Natural hair should not be regarded as a nuisance but looked upon to amplify a beauty that is already unique. Natural hair is not accepted in the corporate world and that bothers me, I feel as long as you keep it neat it really shouldn't be a problem....I encourage every black woman to see this movie...It will change your hair!!!!

Beanie Vs. Jay... a children's story

I was surfing the web and saw this posted on OnSmash.com it breaks down the Beans and Jay beef in an interesting way

http://vimeo.com/7386763

it's kinda fucked up, but there is a point made here. Is Jay really that much of an asshole, or did his team expect too much from him? Roc A Fella is a house built by Jay, so they could never expect to make as much money as him while under the unbrella. Also, with Beans constant reckless behavior and troubles with the law, was Jay bein disloyal, or just growing up and seperating himself from bullshit? jus a thought...

Love ready....or not!!!!!!!

What's up world....well it has taken me forever to figure out what to write about and finally it hit me, my friends have daily complaints about relationships. Someone once told me before I entered college that I would find the man of my dreams, one that would marry me, and magically make all my dreams come true...well I am knocking on graduation's door and I can tell you that must be some kind of fairy tale because it definitely hasn't happened yet. Although I dont want to rush it, I can tell you maintaining a relationship or even finding a person of interest is hard shit. Because of this, many young women I know have taken a vow of celibacy on the notion that they are not willing to give themselves to men, who aren't willing to fully devote themselves mongamously to them. Many of the young men ask why put a title on "it"., or claim they are just not ready for a relationship because they want to experiment, but want every aspect and rights of a relationship. Please somebody tell me WHERE THEY DO THAT AT??? That reeks of bullshit, because if someone really cares about a person, then their love or like will overpower the lust of someone else.That's what relationships are for is to grow and experiment together. My thing is if you're talking to me you already have the best, so why waste your time on someone that leading you right back to me. I will not make it a man bashing blog because their are some men who want relationships and are willing to commit and the woman doesn't want the commitment, but the latter lies heavily in the minority. My personal opinion is that people want all the pleasures of relationships or love without the responsibilities of them, so just in case something happens the age old phrase can be presented..."WELL YOU CAN'T REALLY GET MAD BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TOGETHER." This will always and forever piss me off, as I often advise my girlfriends, if you feel the partnership escalating into something more intimate, then define what it is, set boundaries, and if the man or woman objects then they are probably not the person for you. Please remember that true intimacy involves opening up to someone on a deeper level than other people are permitted to see. Some people don't want to reveal too much about themselves because they never know when their relationship will end which could permit experiencing a true relationship....so ask yourselves this: Do you really want to waste your intimacy and time on someone who really does not take it seriously enough to put some responsibilty on it?????

The greatest song EVER...

well, maybe not the GREATEST(Sam Cooke's "Change Gon Come" will always have that title)... but it's damn sure one of my personal favorites, and a lot of other peoples as well. Outkast is respected far and wide as hip hop's greatest duo. (some would argue that Mobb Deep holds that title, I would tell those ppl 2 go 2 sleep). Throughout their 15 year career, 'Kast has been known and respected for their willingness to experiment with different sounds. On their 3rd album, Aquemini, Outkast along with Cee Lo, Erykah Badu, and Big Rube, fused hip hop, soul, and poetry to create an audio masterpiece. "Liberation" is a poetic piece of soul, to call it a song wouldnt do it justice. It's 8 minutes and some change that relates to the human struggle, regardless of race, region,or gender. It's that relateability that makes this song so loved by so many. Without further adue (one of) the greatest songs EVER
