New Womens Air Max TL 2.5

Obviously tis' the season for bright colored clothing, sneakers and accessories. So Nike is taking it to another level with these new AM TL's. Im sure these sneakers will do well since there's a big hype now for people to try and stand out wearing fluorescent colors. These are now on sale(most likely finishline, footlocker etc.) for $119.00, so go get your pair so you too can be light and bright..

Not feeling your Vibe!!!!

I know that sex sells but in the industry, it's by any means necessary...do or get done. In this particular case, I don't even feel that the sex is selling it. I'm sure you all heard about the incident with Kelly Rowland being bumped by Beyonce Knowles for the cover of vibe magazine. Please don't get me wrong, Beyoncé is my beesh but she should have left this one for Kelly...females can find classy ways to sell themselves SHORT!!!

I think the concept was cute but the execution was poor. She looks like a little dirty girl in the park, jumping double dutch. There are many ways to be sexy but this is not one. Despite the fact that her "talent" was suppose to be singing, where does this picture fit??? I think she is a jack of all trade (To be commended)...however, I have to say that she has not Mastered any of them!!! Talk to me....... And here is the rest of it.

Nike Dunk Samples.....Maybe??

1, 2 Freddy's coming for you...3,4 you better shut the door. Yes, you guessed it...there's a pair of Dunks which were influenced by our friend who resides over on Elm Street, Freddy Krueger. The word is this pair is not official but if PeeWee Herman and Milli Vanilli got a pair, then why can't Freddy?? Either way you throw it, it's kudos to the person who made these! They scream Freddy...from his stripped shirt, the blood stains and even the silver swoosh which resembles his blades. If Nike was smart, they would get up on these or maybe they already are!?! Who knows only time will tell...

Neon Nike Dunkestos

Don't these sneakers remind you on a tennis ball?? These are the latest dunkestos to hit the block and were created after the contract between FC Barcelona and Ronaldinho (A very famous tennis player, just in case you didn't know.) Well that was the point, of course. But if you're not familiar with these sneakers, they are a mix of a pair of Dunks and Prestos, and are sold in most sneaker stores nationwide.

50 is missing a couple of bullet wounds...

According to the police report, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson was shot 3 times on his right side. Now why in the H. E. Double Hockey Sticks would some damn body add a lie of 6 more shots??? I could see if he said, "It felt like I was hit 9 times." But NOOO, that's people for you...going the extra mile and around the corner. Did he think people would have had less respect for him if he said he was hit 3 times??? I don't understand the logic, besides the fact of being in the spotlight (But even for that reason, that exaggeration was ridiculously ridiculous).

He's mentioned in several interviews, that he was shot 9 times. How will he retract or come back on this one??? I would love to hear his response. What's done in the dark, always come to light. So whether you're a fake gangster or someone perpetrating, your sh*t will come out!!!

Get your space together!!!

Yesterday, I came across an article in the newspaper and the headline was "Myspace, Perv Place" (Which caught my attention, and made me do this post). When I initially made a myspace account (After hearing the fuss over it, I had to make one), it was to see if I can find some of my friends from High School that I lost touch with. Also, to network and find people who had the same interests as I did (Which I thought myspace was for anyway.) So I came to thinking about all of the profiles I've came across. Ok, this is no offense to anyone...But is it me or is EVERYONE ON MYSPACE either a upcoming Model, Rapper, Singer, Ganster, or Porn Star??? Myspace is a place to get your hustle on.

Has anyone come across one of those pages (That wasn't private, by the way), where you clicked on their pictures, only to see a naked ass with a thong, with their child's picture right next to or under it??? Come on, nice ass or not, why would you put your business on Front Street like that (Especially with your kids posted up there)...that's not a good look!!! And is it just me or is every damn body modeling??? Don't get me wrong, I understand that people think highly of themselves, loving yourself is first and foremost. Some of them take it to a whole different level. When I look at some of the pictures, a lot of these females are young as hell...all caked up with make-up with no damn clothes on. Now, "Where's the parents???"...do they not see their kids taking half naked pictures and posting them on the computer??? Or is it that I can possibly find the parent on myspace with the same picture posted??

After reading the headlines and names of some of these profiles, I said to myself, "These people are dead serious." A lot of them perpetrate so hard...it's ridiculous. They use myspace to make a name for themselves (Which is understandable, they want to make a big name...everyone wants to be known). Unfortunately, to go hard and floss something or say something that can't be produced is yours, only makes you look foolish. Only your "friends" that really knows you outside of myspace, can stand by anything that you put on your profile. So to be a "Myspace Pimp/Ganster" when you're really the herb or flunky out the bunch, is unnecessary. Just play your position, be real with yourself. If they don't look like herb or can't accept you for the herb you are, no need to approve them as one of your friends. Don't change your character to be down, that's wack.

To all the aspiring Models, Rappers, Singers, and Producers get your hustle on by any means necessary if that's really what you do. But when I listen to some of the tracks that people have posted, it seems as if people are doing it because it's "what's in" right now. I don't feel seriousness coming from it. Don't play around with it, if it isn't what you do. No need to turn into the singer/rapper/model, just because your friend told you that you can sing/rap/model. Leave that to the people, who lives, sh*t, sleep, and breathe it....and that's serious about their craft.

Stop waiting for approval...validate yourself!!!

I don't know about anyone else but I'm so tired of people validating for their short comings. Just get your sh*t together, and getting your sh*t together doesn't have to mean like Michele or like Christopher (No two people are the alike). It means, do you the best you know how and be sure when you're doing it.

Have you ever met someone who doesn't have a mind of their own?? And everything you do, they're sure to follow?? (But yet they're ashamed for you to know that they've followed/copied). Well, that is the most annoying sh*t in the world!!! It's nice to have someone to look up to you but...it can also be sad when the person starts to believe that they're someone they're not. Forgery is against the law. If it's not your car, please stop fronting...what are you going to do tommorrow or later on when you have to give it back?? If you don't have a bank account, it's okay you still have time. If you don't own a home yet, when it's your time you will. If you haven't been out of the country...my point is everything happens in it's appointed time and if it's an hour early it not for you!!! People just need to be REAL with themselves.

If there's anyone that can keep it real with you without any hard feelings, it's YOU!! So, please before you start dissecting someone else's life, just swing the mirror around 360 degrees. Tell yourself what you really see!!

It's like that, Ms. Kelly??

Kelly Rowland's highly anticipated solo album is now due for release July 3! The album features production from Polow Da Don, Sean Garrett, Tank, Scott Storch, Rockwilder, SoulShock and Karlin, and Billy Man -- as well as guest appearances from Eve and Snoop Dogg, Ms. Kelly is 100% Kelly Rowland 2007: sexy, honest, playful, and passionate. "I really put my heart and soul into this record," she enthuses, "and not only am I excited that everyone's going to hear the music, I'm looking forward to people getting to hear the real me. That's the reason I called the album Ms. Kelly. Because the title is all about respect, being an adult and that's how I feel about my life, and my music. I know it's kind of a cliché to say, but Ms. Kelly really is the album I was meant to make." Check out the video for her latest single, "Like This" featuring Eve.

N------ What?

I was just having a conversation with a neighbor about how our day went. During the little session, I said "This nigga..." and he cut me off saying how that word is banned and the whole history behind the word and such. Out of respect, I took heed to what he was saying and everything he said was correct, but banning the word completely......I dunno.

This word is used everyday, usually incorrectly, if you feel that it's degrading to the black race. But ask yourself, "What is a nigger, nigga, niguh (whatever) really?" If you ask me what it means, bottom line, it's an ignorant person. Now if you agree with my definition, ask yourself "Do they exist?" HELL YEAH!!!!! N's are everywhere. Me being from Queens, NY, it's difficult not to bump into one just walking down the street, shopping, riding the bus, train...they're practically everywhere.

There are so many problems in this little world we live in. If you're unsure, watch the news (I personally call it "Bad News" because it's never good...ok, seldomly it's good.) One little N word is the least of our problems. If you want the word to vanish, then black people will have to learn to love, trust, and stick up for one another. But then again, when will that day come???

Babies Need Love Too, AF1 Style..

Don't these sneakers look familar?? These are the exclusive Af1 25th Anniversary kix just for your little man or girl. These can only be found in the Nike Japan 1LOVE store (address below), they will not be released in the US. But if you plan on taking a trip to Japan, why not swing by and pick up your little person a pair?!

Nike Air Max 95 x 360

These are the new airmax 95s which are set to be released. AM's are cool but IMO, this sneaker has waaaay too much going on. From the patent leather to the cement print and the animal print (it should be either or not both). But there is 1 thing that I am feeling, the icey sole (LoL...I had to find something positive to say.)

Bobby is going through it, do you think he has time for a "joke"???

Thanks to "That Bitch" over at Rhymes With Snitch, I stumbled across this video of Bobby Brown. This incident occurred while taping the first episode of new ITV (A 24 hour television news channel in the United Kingdom) show 24 Hours With (I take it someone will be in a room with the host of this show for 24-hours straight.) Bobby threatens the host Jamie Campbell when he tries to test Bobby's sexuality. Check it out...I always said when it comes down to a heterosexual man, they don't play when it comes down their sexuality. They will shut that sh*t down in a minute. Did you see how quick Bobby picked that statement up??? It was literally while it was rolling off Jamie's tongue. Jamie tried to comeback with "It was a joke." When he said that, Bobby's actions and expression were like "Hee Hee Hell!!!". The heterosexuals over here in the U.S. or in the states, don't play those games. With all the things going on in Bobby's World right now, he was ready to hurt something. The host was burnin'...I bet if he could retract his statement, he would have.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

...to all the mothers and soon to be moms out there. To those who lost their mother, I know there's nothing to replace that emptiness...but try to celebrate the times that you've shared with your mom.

I knew it!!! Broke Bobby's suing Whitney...

Even Stevie Wonder saw this coming. Can you believe the nerve of this bum??? According to "The Insider", Bobby is seeking to change his terms of custody with their 14-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. He mentions several reasons why he was not able to file a response to Whitney's petion for divorce, in the documents submitted to the court. Stating that he was "strapped for cash during this time and could not afford to hire a lawyer." He also says he's devastated about losing his rights to see his daughter. Bobby claims he has been homeless at times since the divorce, and is seeking spousal support, as well as child support for their daughter.

Now, let's take this from the top. He was "strapped for cash...so he couldn't afford a lawyer...", now that's a everyday experience for some people. And you know what happens in that moment, the judge says, "Oh Well...when you're slow, you blow!!!" Secondly, he's "devastated about losing his rights to see his daughter." No one can judge the true feelings someone has towards their child. I honestly didn't know that he lost all rights to see her, that could be a devastating situation. Only him and his daughter know the real relationship that they have with one another. But from me watching and hearing the things Bobby gets himself into, would he really know how to take care of a 14 year-old female, as far as full custody is concerned??

The fact that he's claiming to have been homeless since the divorce, tells us that he was truly a MOOCH (at another's expense; sponge!!!) . Be a man, Bobby...GOSH! Stand on your own two feet. Why is it right for her to support your habits, when she has her own habits to support? Is it her fault that you didn't invest wisely??? Nope, it sure isn't. So seeking "Spousal Support" ended at the divorce. The spousal support went out the window when the gavel hit, Buddy Boy...you missed the boat. Seeking child support, was also reaching. Whitney has the child, full custody at that, how is he suing for child support? Let it go, Bobby....make a comeback album or something. Get a little pocket change for yourself....Get at me...

What has television come to???

*Blows breath* Where do I begin...TELEVISION IS THE WORST!!! At first, I tried to think whether or not my age (25) has anything to do with my feelings on this issue. Does anybody remember when television had meaning??? We went from only being able to have basic channels (Channel 2, 3-which was used for the VCR or Video Games, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 21), 13'-20' with two knobs, or floor models (Zenith)...with "The Bomb Can't Miss" television shows. Now we're working with Eleventeen (Entirely too many) thousand channels, with big screen 50'-60', LCD or Plasma televisions with HDTV...with absolutely nothing on television.

I can think about a couple of shows that mad everyone get home on time to tune into or watched at one time or another. 21 Jump Street, 227, A Different World, ABC Afterschool Specials, ALF, Amen, America's Most Wanted, American Bandstand, American Gladiators, The A-Team, The Aresenio Hall Show, Baywatch, Benson, The California Raisins, Charlie Brown & Snoopy, Charlie's Angels, Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers, The Cosby Show, Dear John, Diff'rent Strokes, Doogie Howser, M.D., Double Dare, Empty Nest, Fame, Family Matters, Family Ties, Fat Albert, The Facts of Life, Garbage Pail Kids, M*A*S*H, Martin...etc., that's just to give you a few (I can go on for days, I left out some important ones.) Can someone inform me, where did shows like these disappear to???

Every show that's aired these days, are supposedly reality. These people make it seem as if there's no camera following them at all. I'm not expecting them to stare directly into the camera, but don't make it seem as if you don't have people there taping you're every move. I don't know if it's me over analyzing the shows, but it seems to me that most of the conversations are scripted. Not exactly telling the cast how to react in specific situations, but sort of like a "And Action!!!". When these people know that they're in front of the camera, they tend to act a little bit out of their usual character. For example, we have shows like "Run's House", "I Love New York", and "Flavor of Love" that they lead us to believe that are real in content. The way each cast member acts on all three of these shows, all seem acted out. Yes, sometimes we get drawn into the hype or drama, which makes us tune in. In my opinion, there's nothing about these shows that are "Reality".

Comparing these shows to what I used to watch back in the days, there's no reason to be paying for cable. But for some reason, it don't be a damn thing on T.V. Unfortunately, I am one of those people that just can't live with it and definitely can't live without it...=0*. Get at me...

What the hell is he singing???

As I was surfing the web as I normally do, I came across some hilarious sh*t. Why is it that people feel that just because they decide to sing a church song, people are suppose to like it??? Or they won't think that you sound horrible, because it's a song about God??? I am here to tell you that whether you chose to sing a gospel song or "The Devils Music" (Secular music), if you can't carry a tune in a bucket, LEAVE IT ALONE!!! In this case, I don't know what they were thinking. I know can't refuse someone that wants to praise the Lord, but someone needed to snatch that microphone or give him a Hymnal (Hymn Book). He was all over the place with this one. And he had the nerve to stretch the song out, as if he just couldn't let it go. I thought everyone knew the song, "Amazing Grace", I guess I was wrong. (There's a first for everything!)

The Game 1, 2 steps...right off the stage...

Another classic example of "Burnin'". He was performing one of his songs titled "Compton" at USC (University of Southern California) campus, located in the heart of Los Angeles, on April 21, 2007...where burnin' began. You can tell by the way he was hype, that he was definitely feeling his flow or his music. As he made that crucial step...Check it out...

I don't know what it is, but it was always something about The Game that I liked. He seems real with his words and actions. Did you see how he hopped up and brushed the dirt off??? (Well, after he climbed back up from hell. Was it just me or did that fall seem kind of steep??) It seemed like it took a little minute to get him up. He did a little stand up comedy afterwards, but got right back into performing. Now that's some real sh*t...his @$$ was on FLAME tho.

Nas and Stussy SF Live Tee

Yes, you read right!!! Nas has teamed up with Stussy to create the upcoming SF Live Tee. The front features a picture of Nas in front of the shoreline. There is no word if this shirt will be available in stores or if it is only a special edition item which will not be for sale. Either way you throw it, the Tee is very hot. Hip Hop might be dead but fashion isn't!!!

T.I./Tip is 'bout it and it's "No Sweat"....

When I initially started to do this post, it was suppose to be about one of his latest singles titled "No Sweat" (Which I'm still going to have for you.) As I was surfing through the web, I came across the latest T.I. media frenzy. Don't take this man for a joke. His lyrics aren't just for records, he will get at you. According to some footage taken when he performed at Bentley College for Spring Day 2007, someone in the audience was throwing water balloons at his while he was performing. He tried to ignore it when the first one was thrown at him and continued to perform. When the second one came flying by.....(Well, watch it for yourself...)
He was as serious as a heart attack. He was really going to hurt something if he found out who threw that sh*t at him. Did you see him stick his boney chest in the air??? HE WAS SERIOUS!!! I came across a song of his as I was driving, which I guess will be featured on his upcoming album, "T.I. vs. Tip". This song is hot, definitely bangable...titled "No Sweat". Another T.I. hit...press play!!!

Tips for growing wealth, Essence talks finances...

10 Easy Tips to Save More Than $5,000 in Just One Day, When you thought you didnt have it.

1. Slash cell bills!!!
Pull out your last three cell phone bills and check your usage. If you’re wasting minutes, call your provider and switch plans, or go to lowermybills.com to comparison-shop. American consumers pay an average of $60.53 for cell phone service, according to TNS Telecoms. By switching to a 450-minute plan for $39.99, you can save $20 a month.

Annual savings: Up to $200-plus by changing wireless plans

2. Lower credit card charges!!!
Gather your statements for credit cards that carry a balance. Call each company and ask for a lower rate. The average household carries $9,159 in credit card debt with an average APR of 16.55 percent, according to CardWeb.com. By getting the APR lowered 2 percentage points to 14.55 percent, the average household will save nearly $200 a year.

Annual savings: $183 (lowering APR to 14.55 percent from 16.55 percent on a $9,159 balance)

3. Spend less on entertainment!!!
Get a library card. You can check out books, audiobooks, videotapes and DVDs, saving between $7.95 and $24.94 for books—as well as the $4-plus charge to rent a DVD at Blockbuster. Lots of late fees? Subscribe to a service like Netflix (netflix.com). Plans start at $4.99 per month. You keep the DVD for as long as you want to with no late fees. When you return it, you get the next one.

Annual savings: About $400 a year

4. Find cash stashed in your closets!!!
Go through your closets and gather any clothes you haven’t worn in the past two years. Separate the best pieces and take them to a consignment shop. Consignment shops will sell your goods and then give you a percentage of the profits, which can range anywhere from 25 to 75 percent. If clothes aren’t sold in a specified amount of time, they will return them to you. For selling tips, go online to powerhomebiz.com /vol58/consignment.htm, or search ehow.com for tips. Then look in the Yellow Pages for shops near you.

5. Take a lunch break!!!
Hungry? Instead of buying lunch, make it. If you normally spend $5 each workday eating out, taking your lunch can save you as much as $1,200 a year. Even when you add the costs of making lunch, you still come out ahead. To save time, store dinner leftovers immediately in portable plastic containers.

6. Scale back on grocery shopping!!!
Sign up for a membership to a warehouse club such as Costco (costco.com), BJ’s (bjs.com) or Sam’s Club (samsclub.com). You’ll pay between $35 and $100 to join, but according to industry estimates, on certain items, the clubs have prices up to 88 percent less than those at grocery stores and 24 percent less than supercenters like Wal-Mart. Still buy perishables and smaller family portions from the grocery store, says Tawra Kellam, cofounder of livingonadime.com. But those looking for big-ticket items and home-business products can make out quite well.

Annual savings: Approximately $1,400 if you only realize 30 percent savings from a warehouse club, minus the membership fee.

7. Get more out of banking!!!
Try Internet banks such as ING Direct (ingdirect.com) and Etrade (etrade.com), which offer yields of between 4 and 5 percent on savings accounts compared with a 0.76 percent national average. By moving $1,000 from an account earning 0.76 percent to one earning 5.05 percent, you’ll go from making $7.60 to $50.50 per year in interest.

Annual savings: $42.90 in interest by moving money from a 0.76 percent yield savings account to a 5.05 percent yield account

8. Adjust your insurance policies!!!
Compare auto and home insurance rates at lowermybills.com and insweb.com. Keep your home and auto insurance with the same provider to save 5 to 15 percent. Or raise your deductible—the amount you pay first—to save between 15 and 30 percent. With the average annual auto policy at $847, a 25 percent savings could net you $211 per year.

Annual savings: Approximately $200 on auto and home insurance premiums

9. Conserve energy—and cash!!!
Change the filter on your air-conditioning/heating system. A clean filter will cause the system to work more efficiently and use less energy. Then run to the store to pick up fluorescent lightbulbs. By changing all your incandescent lightbulbs to fluorescent ones, you’ll save 30 to 38 percent on lighting costs.

Annual savings: $260 with 20 percent energy savings

10. Cut back on personal-care costs!!!
Get the Yellow Pages and find local beauty schools. You can get the same services of a trendy salon at half the price. The Hair Academy in New Carrollton, Maryland, for example, charges clients in the Washington, D.C., area only $13 for a wash, blow-dry and curl, and $32 for a relaxer and set. “I was skeptical at first about getting a touch-up, but the stylist was closely watched by a licensed professional, and she did a great job,” says Katrina Ruiz, 38, an event planner in Mechanicsville, Virginia, and one of the women who took our challenge. Ruiz will save $320 a year using this hair-care option.

Annual savings: $648 if you get a $40 wash, blow-dry and curl twice a month

R. Kelly blowing it up, as usual...

He does it again, but who thought he wouldn't??? This man is ridiculously talented. Here we are 17 years later, and this man is still making hits. This is what he is known for...making hits. As I mentioned several times, people get too wrapped up in the personal lives of these artist. Instead of focusing on what the person is known for in the first place. He's a musical genious, and he's currently all over the place right now (He's on everyones song). He's releasing his Eleventeenth (Nineth) album titled "Double Up" on May 29th. Here's a sample of what will be on the album. Another banger as usual...titled "Blow It Up" featuring Young Dro and Young Jeezy.


Press Play!!!

Rosie O'Donell leaves "The View"...Huh??

Another one bites the dust. Although, Rosie seems poised and controlled on air, I truly hope she was "blacking out" on them prior to airing. Not only did they not seem to care at all (Body language) Diane Sawyer cleary said, "You were only to be here for a year."...How she know that??? Diane is running things on "The View".

When Rosie was on "The View", she made the show exciting with her spunky personality. It's seem as if they want to keep the show boring (Not that I watch it anyway), Rosie was too REAL for the phony bunch anyway. They displayed no disappointment, which is no surprise when someone (Haters) knows they're the underdog and that this individual is a definite threat to their ancient career.

Diane Sawyer is a Hater!!! Check out the clip below....Talk to me.....

Greedy Genius, What Happened?

They was doing it up with their first batch of sneakers but now they're trying to reinvent the kix and its not a good look at all. The new Greedy Genius hightops(pictured below) is just a mess it has a mixture of patient leather and suede. All I want to know is what was the thought behind these sneakers?? But if these sneakers are your kinda kix they will be Available next month @ S&D, Kickballers, Exclusive wear and Attic.

New Nike Foamposite Ones

The foamposites are being retroed once again but in a new colorway(black and cactus), which is actually not that bad. There's no official release date so far but word is they'll be dropping sometime this winter for $200. I know all the basketball fans/players are dying to cop these but you'll just have to wait for the official release.

The only female rapper left in the game???

Eve is making a comeback and Here I Am is the album, coming August 7th with production from Timbaland, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, Cool & Dre, Pharrell and Sean Paul. It's being said that "She's the only female rapper left in the game." Now is it just me, or is that a very bold statement insulting the females that's in the industry??? There's Remy Ma (Unsigned, but still), Lil' Kim (Just returning on the scene fresh out of CB4 and if you didn't hear "The Game's in Trouble", you need to.)...umM, that's it, as far as in the game is concerned.

Then we have chicks like Shawnna, Babs Bunny (MTV's Da Band...serious with her skills, *WHERE U AT, BABS, THE GAME'S IN TROUBLE*) and Lady Luck. Don't get me wrong, Eve is serious too, please believe that. This is far from a post trying to put her down, because Eve is ridiculously ridiculous with her sh*t. Everything she put out was tough from the gate...from "What Ya'll Want" to "Gotta Man" to "Love Is Blind" to "Who's That Girl??", shall I keep going?? Nope, you should get the point. She drops heat. And she's back with another hit, "Tamborine", produced by Swizz Beats. This is definitely a club or party banger. If the liquor doesn't have you on your feet, the beat from this track will.

Because Of You...

Ne-Yo is ready to release his highly anticipated sophomore album "Because of You" IN STORES Tomorrow MAY 1! The album features Jay-Z and Jennifer Hudson. Jay-Z is featured on Ne-Yo's second single "Crazy." After listening to the album, it's no comparison to his first one. Of course, you don't expect it to be exactly the same due to the artist growing. But I found this album hard to get into, maybe it's just me. His first album was a banger all the way through. I played that cd out, until I started hearing it on the radio.

I'll get back to you with an album review...I need some time with this one. From what I heard, I wasn't digging it too much. It comes out tomorrow, for all those interested. And to you who purchase, download, copy or whatever you do, get at me with your opinion of the album.

Check out the tracklist below.

"Because of You" Tracklist:

1. Because Of You
2. Crazy feat. JAY-Z
3. Can We Chill
4. Do You
