I’m not sure whether I’m late or not but I stumbled upon this Nina Sky video for “Beautiful People” on the MadeMe blog. They’re super cute and those studded MadeMe motorcycle jackets are dope.
I hope Nina Sky doesn’t join the album out next neveruary club. It’s been a minute.
In case you didn’t know, they can really sing. Here’s a bonus:
Usually tracks like this annoy me but I can’t front, I’m feeling Maluca. She succeeded at making a contemporary song with a signature Latin sound, with “El Tigeraso” (produced by Diplo). Yo tengo todo papi! Love it lol. Check it out:
That video was soooo Washington Heights, New York. Did you peep Roxy Cottontail’s cameo? And that floral MadeMe jacket Maluca had on in the beginning was really cute. But anyway, check out Maluca’s MySpace.
People have lost their minds when it comes to the internet. There are a lot of fake celebrities who have lost touch with reality, in addition to some simple etiquette practices that people don’t think should exist on the wild wild web. Check out my collabo vlog with Malik 16 explaining what’s up and how we can fix it:

I wanted to work at [ _____ magazine] since college and when I got that chance in 2007, I felt like I was finally on track to making my dreams come to fruition. Getting there was arduous. I didn’t have the easy path a lot of my peers had fresh out of college. Employment didn’t come easy (don’t you just hate people who get jobs right away), which forced me into a freelance life. Freelancing was a lot easier then because companies were willing to pay more for hard and quality work.
While piecing hustles together, I held on to hope that I’d get to [____ magazine] as a staffer. My moment came when I was originally going to be hired as their web editor but that fell through and I thought life and any chance at my dream career was over (I have a bad habit of thinking the worst of situations). Months after that, I began working on my dream deferred plan, which involved me teaching dance to 3rd graders and considering teaching academics full time. One day on my lunch break, I got a phone call that changed my life. Another position at the magazine opened and I was the first choice. At that point in my career, it was a step down to an entry level position (not a major step but I had two years experience in the freelance world in TV production and print, by then) but sometimes you have to make sacrifices when you’re working toward your dreams so I took the job.
A little over a year later–after I began carving my path at the company by obtaining more job responsibilities and a title change–I got laid off.
Minx nails have been all the rage in the celebrity community but they start at about $55 a pop. I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t afford that. I found a nice alternative. Enter China Glaze. They released a dazzling collection of metallic varnish a couple of months ago called “Khrome,” and I am a stan.
Not only do their bright colors carry into the spring fashion trend of metallic nails, but they’re so rich and long lasting that they give a Minx effect. I tried it out. Check out the results… Read the rest of this entry »
Why? Because you post the same shit everyone has seen or read (and they post the same shit that they jacked from each other). The same top 50 (or 100) lists of the same stuff. Perpetuating stagnancy. Good job. Smh.
Mariah Carey’s new video for “Up Out My Face,” featuring Nicki Minaj just dropped. It’s cute but the song is wack. Even worse, I’m tired of Mariah parading around like she’s not 40-years-old (or close to it or whatever). I’m not knocking getting older and can still be fly when you reach a certain age but not like this.
Mariah Carey reminds me of an old embarrassing aunt who still looks young and has a cute shape, subsequently going overboard with trying to act like she’s 21. You know, the type who still tries to go to the club in catsuits to drop it like it’s hot and hit on all the young boys. It needs to stop. It really does.
P.S. Mariah Carey and Vivica Fox go in the same bracket for me. iCant.
Ludacris is teaming up with female heavyweights in hip-hop for his forthcoming album, Battle of the Sexes, due out March 16. Luda will collab with Lil’ Kim, Eve, Trina, Shawnna, Nicki Minaj, and more to rap back and forth about male/female relationships. Ludcris has always done his own thing so I applaud him for taking a different, edgier approach with this project. It sounds like an interesting concept. (Bangladesh, Swizz Beatz, and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League have all contributed to the project).
“There’s never really been an album with a male rapper and a female rapper together going head-to-head on different issues, mostly relationship issues,” says Ludacris.
I think this might go over well. Hopefully there are femcees on there that folks either haven’t previously heard of or who are talented and deserve more shine.
