Iggy Azalea Uses Pu$$y in My World, But I'm Still on The Fence


Her track Pu$$y is what first caught my attention. Then the next track I heard lost it. And so, I sit on the fence about the 21-year-old Australian female rapper Iggy Azalea.

The Internets is buzzing and everyone is asking the same question, is she raps next sensation. I say later for the titles. Then immediately folks will draw the line between Kreayshawn and Iggy (probably because of their complexion). Nah, I won't do that either. Why? Because Iggy is better. By far. She's however riding that same wave of internet fame like Kreayshawn, racking up a gang of twitter followers and youtube hits, and creating a buzz online, almost forcing you to take notice.

In a track like Pu$$y, the beat is hypnotic and her flow brings this unique edge, creating a sound all her own. Not since Tyler, The Creator and my homie Rob Roy (and a handful of others) have I felt that uniqueness that I feel in Iggy's cadence. Sure, there are many rap folks whose music I enjoy but every so often I'm truly captivated by a sound.

But yet, here I am, still on that fence.

Justin Bieber: "Billy Jean is my lover but the kid ain't my son"



I work with a lot of women during the day job. So, with that comes overhearing random conversations on a range of topics (read: mostly gossip). This morning, Justin Bieber was their point of discussion. Three adult women talking about the Justin Bieber paternity thing had me feeling some type of way. But acknowledging the paternity discussion ultimately means I need to acknowledge that the youngster one step away from looking like Rachel Maddow has had sexual relationships with women. Which, I guess would make sense considering he looks like Rachel Maddow. Uh, allegedly of course.

Anyway, during the conversation someone said, "his good boy image is gone forever." Then I'm like, "it's a publicity stunt. He's trying to become a rapper now."

Ride with me for a second.

I.C. NYC Episodes 5 & 6



Peep the last two episodes of the Internets Celebrities I.C. NYC series. Ep 5 explores the world of the Bodega Cats. Cats, literally and not slang for people. Ha! In ep 6, Rafi and Dallas participate in the qualifying round of a Japanese curry eating contest. Both quality episodes in their series. Enjoy.

On Lauryn Hill and Shaking the Vending Machine



A week ago Jay Smooth took to facebook and said:
“The more I see people posting variations of “Lauryn gave birth to another baby? She needs to give birth to another album!” the more I hope she keeps raising her kids and never makes another album for your greedy selfish asses.”
I jumped in and offered up:
“Being a parent use to be a respectable career choice. Remember? Ha! And with six, they definitely need her attention. Besides, the wolves will never be satisfied if she doesn’t deliver another Miseducation and the chances are, she won’t. And that’s fine with me … *cues Everything Is Everything*”
Today Jay drops the video. Another great point from a dope dude. Enjoy.
