O.....FOR REAL?
I'm not a big gossip person but sometimes.....


The word is 50 has just laid down tracks for his I Get Money remix. Listeners can expect to hear guest verses from Jay-Z and Kanye. Some also say Diddy becuase Kanye may not be released to be on it. Last I heard it was 50, Jigga and the Louis Vuitton Don. Whoever is on it, let's just hope the lyrics dropped will be as 'money' as they claim to be.





The word is Raven Symone (from the Disney Channel's That's So Raven and Olivia from the Cosby Show for us Cosby Kids) is supposed to be having or had a baby. To add more spice, the gossipers are whispering that the baby's father is supposed to be either Omarion or Lil Fiz formly of B2K. Well after checking a bunch of sites, the overall result is this rumor is false. So all can let that lie go. Don't let the high school shows fool you, Ms. Raven is no longer little Olivia. She is 22 years old. So if she was to have a child, she's a very paid, quite grown ass woman. Also, back up off her and her weight bloggers! The world is not a size 2! Girls already have image issues, what's wrong with a role model that breaks the mold? I'm not a fan of the girl by any means, but she is a positive female role model to many young impressionable girls who don't know how to separate gossip from real news. Raven has managed to keep her personal life out of the media and all should respect that.


The word in the beauty shop is that Chris Brown and Gabrielle Union are dating. After doing a little digging, it appears that this rumor surfaced after a comment made in an issue of Giant magazine. Chris states in there something about her making him an indecent proposal. Is it true? Last I knew, Ms. Union was dating her old high school sweet heart, Jason Kidd. Who knows. Newly legal Brown is all over the place and is very much a self-proclaimed "girl crazy" kid. Honestly honey, you may be rather cute, but you're still a child. Please Believe!




The final word is a congratulations shout to my beautiful Common. He has become the first hip-hop artist to have his Finding Forever CD carried at Starbucks. Good way to reach a whole new section of The People.

POTTY - TALK

Yes I am telling. Never has there been a nastier place, than a woman's public restroom. Wonder why it takes women so long in the bathroom? It's because while we have to balance, and aim, we also have to avoid touching walls, pee on the floor, and rim (not to mention trying to put on make up and hold our purse because the counters are too wet and nasty to put it down). Being that we don't necessarily have to 'aim', you would think that there wouldn't be an overwhelming presence of piss on the floor. Or that with the typical woman's OCD regarding men's nastiness in the restroom, they would at least tidy up after themselves. O but you would be mistaken. Perhaps the issue lies with the hovering maneuvers. Being dressed up in those cute little outfits, stiletto heels, makes it a little hard to balance. However, without being too graphic, hovering would place any excess on the rim that could easily be cleaned up afterwards. There is NO excuse for being inconsiderate and just down right nasty. Flush bitches. Wipe up after yourselves. Soap and water were made to help rid you of bacteria and germs. Have faith in your immune system, and if you don't then keep your hypochondriac butt home. And to all those restaurant/bar/fast food workers and owners, please do a more frequent clean up of your facilities. If we all pitch in, using public restrooms can be a pleasant experience for all involved. And is it really necessary? Really? Really??

There has never been a creature that perplexes me as much as man. Not man in the human sense, but man as in men, boy, male. Now this is not a reflection on what men want, or what men are thinking. This is my amazement and my amusement to the extent of what men with do or deal with in respects to dating and women.

WHAT?
This was already pulled. But really. What were they thinking?

WHAT IS REALLY THE PROBLEM HERE?

Take a look at this editorial cartoon. It is old news I'm sure, but none the less it stirred up some controversy.So what is the problem here? Is it the depiction, once again, of black people killing other black people? Nah. Is it the imagery of kids living in violent conditions witnessing crimes of this nature?? No that's not it either. Wait maybe it's the attempt to blame rap music for violent crimes??? Hmm. Close? No...not quite. Or could it be the focus of the stop snitching culture that is filling our streets???? No, no, no. That's not it. It's the use of the word HO. OH! Silly me. That's what the True problem is. As if that is the main thing wrong with this image. Well according to the people that wrote in regarding this editorial cartoon to the offending paper, that was the problem with this image. I could see a problem arising if the use of the word was used in conjunction with imagery of black women or just women in general. However, it was not and to single out that one word as the main issue with this image, is to belittle all the other problems with this image. I really and truly believe that the reason we don't progress further as a people is because we are poorly choosing our battles. If we don't start becoming aware of what our real problems are we will continue to spin our wheels and never get any further than where we are right now.
