"It's Kells"...did you expect otherwise. His latest album "Double Up" is the #1 selling album in the country. It's not a shocker at all...musically, he is the man. When I first heard the album, honestly, I wasn't feeling it (Which was my intial skim over the album). But after the second time listening to it, I was singing to it and everything. After following the R-rah for all this time, he catered mostly to women with his lyrics. With this one, he took it to a whole different ball park. He's speaking to the men on this one, definitely. But it's the work of the musical genius himself...so you know it's going to be hot, regardless. The one thing that I'm noticing on all of the albums coming out now is that EVERY song is featuring someone...every damn song. What's going on??? Are we not able to complete a full album alone?? For those who haven't copped the album yet, it's worth the whole $15 (Preferably spent at Hot Waxx)...I give it 4 tonguez up.

You can't build happiness off someone else's misery!!! Part II
This goes out to all my insecure people and if that's you, then dont be ashamed. If you get offended, then it must be you. Insecurity is definitely a "Relationship Murderer"...so if you want to f@*k up your relationship, just try it. With all the adversities one faces in a day, (If they have job, go to school or just handling business.) home should be the last place they need to stress over!!!..."Who's that on your phone???" "Why didn't you answer it then???"
..."Where were you at??? Who was you with???"
..."Who's that girl/guy, where do you know them from???"
...Do you find yourself putting your phone on vibrate to avoid arguments???
...How about changing your phone number??? (Not willingly or did it to avoid issues)
...Did you change your top friends on Myspace or even better, delete your entire page???
...Do you hide your buddy list???
...Do you store numbers in "YOUR" cell phone as someone else???
...Do you consider home "Lock Down"???
If you're answering yes to all or any of these questions, you are becoming a victim/assailant. To always have to validate yourself (I call it defending your "Innocence") to your significant other is a headache. If you're not secure with yourself, then a relationship is out of the question. Many people try and force it but to me, it's a waste of time. Once the "Second Guessing" feeling began, they cannot be retracked. And that's real talk!!!
There is nothing worst than a relationship with no trust. My suggestion to all those going through it is, "Drop it like it's hot!!!"
If you're the one with the insecurity problems, some times it's good to be alone. Find out what makes you so insecure because you will never be happy if your tryin to find it in someone else. Love yourself...Talk to me...

Good Girl Gone Garbage...
(Blows breath...) After the long anticipated wait for this album (Especially, after the whole image change), I am soooo upset at the outcome of this. Let's not get it twisted, I was NEVER a fan or follower of Rihanna. I always liked the single that they may have forced me to like after playing it eleventeen times. But as far as purchasing or getting into her full album, I knew I couldn't do it. So, after hearing the "Caviar Beat" with Jay riding the track which is "Umbrella"...as well as the big hype of this "Good Girl Gone Bad", I thought the album would be kind of hot. Unfortunately, I was burning.The first song to grab your attention is "Umbrella"...and then it's all downhill from there. The whole rest of the album is GARBAGE. I was kind of embarassed that I was playing it out loud (I should have iPod listened to it first), people were looking at me like, UmM...what the hell is this?? Most of the songs had me really thinking..."Did they listen to this album before they shrink wrapped the plastic on this trash??" Maybe it's catering to a different ear, definitely not the ears I'm using. I know she'll be somewhere on the charts this week (Due to everyone anticipating bangers). So kudos to her for whatever position she happens to fall in. But in my opinion, they need to pull these puppies right off the shelf, and lock her ass in the studio (She needs a do over, badly!!!) The whole "Good Girl Gone Bad" image, album and all....is a joke. Try again, "Little Miss Sunshine".
*UPDATE* Little Miss Sunshine has made it to #3 on the charts. Must also be anticipation sales...now everyone's tight, trying to sell their copy. (I have a couple of copies for sale too, hit me up...)

The Essense of Mary J. Blige!!!
You gotta love Mary!!! She graces this cover like no other. If she's truly happy, then I'm happy for her. Mary has been through the storm (Not that she has told me personally.) Lyrically, she's told me the 411, her life (My Life), she's shared her world, how she didn't want any more drama, about love & life to now breaking through. Personally, I don't really care about Mary J. and Kendu's romantic situations.That is NOT my business!!!Mary J. says "Success is nothing without someone you love to share it with." In the beginning of her career, Mary J. Blige wore relationship abuse and heartbreak on her sleeve. Today, after 15 years in the game, she prides herself on being free from all that drama. Here, in an intimate portrait inspired by scenes from the movie Mahogany, Mary J. and her husband, Kendu Isaacs, open up about their courtship and marriage and how breaking through Mary's pain brought them to love.
Sounds good to me, M.J.B.!!! To read more, pick up this months issue of Essence...Talk to me...

London's bridge has fallen down!!!
Once again, please excuse me for bringing such foolishness into your lives. By no means, do I want to bring attention to Ms. London Charles (Deelishis) and her pathetic schemes to stay in the game...but I couldn't pass this one up. I guess it's safe to believe that acting wasn't her thing, nor the cheap attempt in the fashion world. Unfortunately, this one is an all time low.I can't believe that deelishis thought after a few staples (Cosmetic Surgery) and a couple of high profile parties that she was ready for the music industry. Her debut single is titled "Rump Shaker" (Ray Charles saw that coming), is foolish and sounds really pathetic!!!
I know everyone has to make a living but the "Rump" thing is over!!! Now that they've made implants, every women has one. So I think it's time to change the focus. Here's a nice start, try singing. If my memory serves me correctly, London Charles (Deelishis) has a beautiful voice...but this is not it!!! Listen for yourself...Talk to me...
