Jay-Z x Michael Jackson



I caught these two tracks off a Jay-Z Blueprint 3 and Michael Jackson hits mashup, CR the Beast Presents: MJ3: "FADE TO JACK" THE RE-FIX. The mixtape is over a month old but these two joints jumped out at me, so I figured I share. Thoughts?

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.

#GoogleFail!


I get a picture messaged texted from my boy Rob about something to do with Google. Allegedly, he received the same text he sent me thinking it was some sort of chain mail someone made up for whatever reason. So he decided to do some research. He ends up finding out that it wasn't a joke after all. Apparently, when he searched on Google, he came out with the same results. So I did the same. Again, same results. I don't know what to say about this. I'm pretty shocked. Disappointed. Shaking my head at the nonsense that boggles my brain. I do not know how this even allowable. Who's in charge of programming? Who's in charge of the search engine? Someone has to be responsible. Someone should know what the hell is going on so that this nonsense can be resolved. Immediately. Take a look then try it out for yourself.

Check It ... SoulStice "Strange Kinda Love"



Peep this track from the homie SoulStice, Strange Kinda Love. This track is straight real talk! I applaud him for putting this track out and taking a not so "safe" stance as a hip-hop artist.

"As a Black man in America that's also part of an interracial marriage, I've experienced my share of prejudice and bigotry. We've come far on issues of race, but still have a ways to go. However, at this stage in the game, I feel like we've got even farther to go on issues relating to same-sex relationships and marriages. Love is love...we should have gotten that, if nothing else, from the musical legacies of artists like Michael and Stevie. It's not a "safe" move for a hip hop artist to show this kind of support for the GLBT community. But as an artist, I feel like it's my job to challenge the status quo, not just play into it or step around it. To me, being revolutionary means fighting not just for you and yours but for any community suffering injustice." - SoulStice
