Tha Lady Blogga: Hip Hop BET… Really?

Despite my wanting to watch the opening Cavs and Celtics game, my Twitter fam quickly convinced me to watch the BET Hip Hop Awards. I was watching the Tweets and laughing hysterically. Soon I joined the fun.

Let me just say that BET always guarantees disappointment. The over display of Gucci Mane (aka Leather Lips) and Soulja Boy Tell Em (aka Mr. Sharpie Shape Up) was just ridiculous. Every other performance featured those two fools and since this was a “Hip Hop” show, I couldn’t figure out why. It’s not like they are real Hip Hop artists. Hip Flop is more like it. Souljah Boy came out with his Sharpie hairline and at first glance, I thought he was Flava Flav. His marketing team put together a helluva package. He came onto the stage looking uncomfortably “hard and from the hood”. Saggy skinny jeans and a bunch of hollow gold around his neck. He looked terrible. His outfit was definitely influenced by his woman (ahem… Trina). As for the performance well, you already know. I had to listen and rewind the performance a few times to hear what he was saying. He and Gucci Mane need to see a speech therapist because their speaking skills are the worst. Gucci raps like he has a mouth full of marbles … How the hell did he get a record deal sounding like that? I guess that masks his wack-ass lyrics.

And can somebody please direct Jim Jones to the shower ... Mmmmmkay?

Oh and Busta, Canal Street is not the place for Award gear. Perhaps you could pick up an accessory or two but a whole outfit, no bueno.

They did re-birth a lot of artists who we haven’t seen in awhile. Missy Elliot (who had some fabulous hair *makes salon appointment*), the Goodie Mob reunion was great!! Cee-Lo looks like he shrunk though. Snoop was there too looking fabulous with his Dominican blow-out. I hope those young boys had their notepads out because Snoop knows how to do the damn thang. The show opened with Jay-Z (O_o) and Jeezy. And after that, every commercial was Jay-Z inspired (that must have been in the performance contract).

Now here’s where BET messed up. This was a Hip Hop show … Right? Well, in between the commercials was a 3-5 minute piece called "The Cypher" … well that was the best part of the show. They could have just played all of those in a row and I would have been happier than a pig in slop. You had artists old, new, non-English speaking rapping in a group and they were freestyling!!! For minutes at a time, BET actually represented Hip Hop. I am by no means a fan but lyrically, Nicki Minaj gave me something to listen to. She definitely needs to ditch that “Barbie” image and her mechanical voice. At that point, she might gain me as a fan (I said MIGHT!) Joe Buddens held his own as well. Gsan did the damn thing in Portuguese (but it would’ve been better without the sub titles #BETfail). Nipsey Hussle is another one to watch. His lyrics are beastly. He sounds a lil Snoopish but I am sure he’ll break free of that copied image and create his own. The best damn Cypher of the night… Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem with DJ Premier on the 1 and 2’s. Dammit BET, why weren’t these Cypher’s stage performances? That was a humongous programming fail and this is why I think you folks at BET/EBT have no idea what you are doing.

If you missed last night’s Cyphers, here they are. Enjoy the first enjoyably vision ever on BET…

First Group: Nicki Minaj, Joe Buddens, Crown Royyal, Buckshot. Second Group: Nipsey Hussle, KRS-One, Gsan and Wale. Third Group: Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem

SHAD RETURNS TO NEW YORK CITY ...

Shad is that dude and he returns to New York on November 4 to rock a show at Pianos (LES). Check out the info below.

Shad (www.shadk.com) is quickly becoming one of Canada’s most respected young artists. His sophomore record, The Old Prince, was received with top reviews by music critics across the board, snagging a Juno nomination for Best Rap Recording of the Year and securing a spot on the coveted Polaris Music Prize short-list. Shad will return to New York on Wednesday November 4, 2009 to rock a show at Pianos (158 Ludlow).

Completing three national tours in 2008 and performing in 46 cities this summer on the 2009 VANS Warped Tour, Shad has over 200 live shows under his belt and looks most comfortable when he’s in front of an audience. From the Hillside Music Festival to Warped Tour to opening for Common and Lupe Fiasco, Shad is able to connect with music lovers of almost any genre through his remarkable live show.

Shad broke ground with his 2005 independent debut When This is Over, earning praise for its honest and clever lyrics and its distinct musical aesthetic. His sophomore release, The Old Prince became an Internet hot-potato, received 10/10 on RapReviews.com, and equal comparisons to Kanye West and Common on OkayPlayer.com.

Shad’s skillful wordplay and smooth flow on The Old Prince, combined with his engaging live shows, and four outstanding music videos (The Old Prince Still Lives at Home became YouTube’s #1 featured video World Wide) have allowed Shad to develop tribes of devout fans right across the globe.

With two slow-roasting classics under his belt, Shad continues to walk the humble path. He appreciates the chance to make and share his thoughts through music.

Shad – Live at Pianos:
Wednesday November 4, 2009
Pianos (www.pianosnyc.com)
158 Ludlow St. (at Stanton)
$10 Advanced Tickets, 21+

Jamie Foxx on Plies

Jamie Foxx open with talking about "I only heard the good records" in reference to Plies music (What good records?) But then he bounces back with calling Plies out for being fake and running from "real n*ggas" and hiding in the bathroom. I said a long time ago that Plies was wack and fake. He's just a gimmick.

HIP HOP DISHONORS (SPOOF)

Affion Crocket strikes again. LMAO!

@OCSupreme Presents...Sex, Lust & Pain

Do you love R&B music? Slow jams? Music from the 1990s to now? Well, I finally finished the 3rd installment to my slow jam series I started putting together for my listening enjoyment and yours. These mixes are not easy to make. So hard to remember some of the older tracks that were dope when they came out. So hard to choose from the many new tracks slipping through the racks. And last, it's so hard to put them in an order that flows from beginning to end. Ultimately, I will be the one happy with the results but honestly, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Because I know the feeling when you're listening to a CD from start to finish without wanting to skip a single track. The feeling you get when all you want to do is play that CD over and over. Well, hopefully, this is it. Thanks!

Battle of The Voices

Listening to my Zen on random is a beautiful thing when you have 7000+ songs in it. That's exactly what I was doing and that's exactly what it was when out of nowhere, it lands on a Lauryn Hill song titled "To Zion". Got me thinking about how much I missed her voice, her videos, her impact to the game of R&B and Hip Hop music. She was a very talented and uniquely amazing individual that comes once in a blue moon. A rare voice that can penetrate the soul of millions of listeners.

I can remember the first time I ever heard and saw Ms. Lauryn Hill when she was still Ms. before she became Mrs. Lauryn Hill-Marley. I was watching Sister Act 2 and there she was on a piano with another singer practicing off somewhere apart from the group. She didn't start singing until after her friend had trouble with a part. So she ask Lauryn, "Rita" in the movie, to join in to help. That moment there gave me goosebumps as soon as I heard the first 5 seconds. "I sing because I'm happy." And so I listen because you make me happy. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Check it out.



'To Zion' by Ms. Hill got me to thinking, I wonder who people would choose if they had to in a Battle of The Voices between Lauryn Hill and Beyoncé Knowles. I'm only asking about their vocal talent. Not about the overall package. If it came down to singing ability, plain and simple. Who can sing better?




You can go by Grammy's if you'd like. Beyoncé has 7 as a solo artist, 10 total. Lauryn has 5 as a solo artist and 8 total. You can argue the amount of years, albums and collaborations it took to win those Grammys, but my question was purely looking for people's opinions about their voice and nothing else. Here's the answers I received.

@thaLadyBlogga no question. Lauryn Hill. She wasn't running around in a leotard and heels but she could lay a track lyrically and vocally.

@djkoast just straight singing? B. But Lauryn has her beat with lyrics 20 fold.

@clarity4kia Lauryn. She made you feel. Beyoncé has gorgeous voice, but there is no depth to her songs or her interpretations.

@Karlnova Lauryn Hill's voice has more soul and she's more vulnerable in her singing. You can feel her. Beyoncé is strong but guarded

@CUTE_NESS Lauryn Hill hands down. Even on her live album when her voice is breaking she sounds amazing.

@CUTE_NESS Lauryn Hill also because of content. She has something to say and she says it beautifully..

@42TheGreat Lauryn Hill, hands down. She delivers her message with more sincerity, while I believe B knows her ish is mainly for the club.

@fancyxpaants no doubt Lauryn will make a grown man cry .. but vocally Beyoncé has more range.. =/

@ThroatChopU Lauryn! Beyoncé got a look, a sound and an audience. Lauryn has the same but is more genuine tho!

@BORNININIQUITY Lauryn, hands DOWN! and I'm a Bey fan..

@blunted215 Lauryn Hill, hands down.

@ReadBeanpie Vocals Lauryn. Beyoncé has 1 sound. L-Boogie has range!

@DontBeASkeptik Lauryn had more emotion in her voice than bey ever can

@BelascoBlack Beyoncé sound like she devoted her whole life developing her voice. Hill sounds like she had her skill down from jump.

@BelascoBlack Beyoncé = polished. Lauryn Hill = effortless.

@fiveeightyseven RT @BelascoBlack Beyoncé = polished. Lauryn Hill = effortless. <---- I agree. My vote goes to Lauryn hill.

@MellyMelss Lauryn Hill... Damn it now I'm gonna listen to her "The Miseducation...". "Loving you is like a battle and we both end up wit scars."

@Da_Bean_Counter Lauryn Hill... HANDS DOWN!!!

@_peech: I'd say Lauryn Hill - she's flexible in the sound she brings. Beyoncé can do a lot of runs but at this point, who can't?

This can go all day with opinions going back and forth for so many reasons. I thought it was a good debate to start and a good challenge considering both parties involved are vocally incredible singers. Completely jaw-dropping talent.

So, what are you thoughts, reasons, choice as to who's your winner in this Battle of The Voices?




P.S. We miss you, Lauryn.

Talib Kweli - Ms. Hill

Tha Lady Blogga: Celebrity Buns In the Oven …

Being that I just had the pleasure of delivering a 9lb lil Lady Blogga last month, I have been on a focused “mommy track”. I am trying to get back into the swing of things, hence my brief departure from the blogging world. I do stay live on Twitter though via my BFF Mr. Blackberry. I can Tweet anything. Anytime. Any place. I tried to Tweet her birth but it was too intense and everything happened so fast that I couldn’t. I did keep my followers updated and I appreciate all the Congrats and Well Wishes.

Ya know I always read stories about how celebrities are expecting. And I have to tell you, I wonder how they do it. Being pregnant and delivering a child is a very “hands-on” experience. Some of these celebrities don’t even know how to wipe their own asses and have people to do that for them. I would love to see how they handle the joys of pregnancy and delivery. I’m not talking walking around and posing in front of the grocery store or walking down the Red Carpet in the latest maternity clothes. I’m talking the real gut of the experience.

The 5 million trips to the bathroom. The nausea and vomiting.The hemorrhoids. The food cravings. Those dreadful mood swings. The weight gain. The swelling. The labor and epidural free delivery. The sex (or lack thereof) And that is just to name a few.


The most recent “possibly pregnant” celebrities, Mariah Carey, would be oh so fun to watch. That chick strikes me as clueless to everyday life functions. I can’t imagine her dealing with some of the great things being pregnant has to offer. And her husband, Nick Cannon, would irritate the hell outta me on a regular day so I don’t know how tolerable he is going to be to a pregnant Mariah. I want to know how she is going to deal with this. Her high-strung diva requests are going to be insane. And I wonder how the weight gain is going to treat her. I was 125lbs before my pregnancy and I weighed in at a brutal 175 the day I gave birth. She has always had weight issues so this should be interesting. I wish there was some reality show that was going to follow her around to catch her in action. Maybe I should write a proposal. I am sure MTV, the reality TV channel, would gladly pick that show up.


Halle Berry is also on the list of pregnant famous chicks. She doesn’t strike me as one to have a problem with it though. Aside from being a visual Stunna, her man-friend Gabriel Aubry seems like he would be an awesome support. He seems very in-tuned to what she needs, caring, loving and it isn’t all about jokes with him. And Halle looked fabulous during her last pregnancy and snapped back just the same so she has nothing to worry about. She strikes me as a natural girl, delivering sans epidural.

There are a few other mommies that have walked the pregnant path successfully. Angelina Jolie, Madonna… Oh wait. They kind of don’t count because as of recent, they have just been flying to Third World countries and picking their children up.
