I discovered today, during my daily social media crawl, that Baby Jayonce was born. I’m not sure what her name is (nor do I care) but people were arguing on whether it was Blue Ivy or Ivy Blue. Sigh. Why are we so vapid? People care more about celebrities and drama than anything else in the world. Double sigh. In other news, I think this guy understands how I feel . He wrote this dope poem entitled, “Your Junk Will Be Televised” in homage to Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not be Televised.” This is great. Watch:
This is a violent urban thriller about a corrupt old white cop and an honest young black cop chasing three black robbers-cum-murderers who ran away with $300,000 that belonged to the Italian mob. The police must find them before the sadistic Mafia henchman Nick D’Salvio reaches them first.
Right On! TV just released their exclusive interview with rising rapper Ramel “Mel” Carter (Jay-z’s nephew). Mel talks about launching his own label, his expectations to be the Number one artist in the next five years by continuing the Carter’s legacy; Jay’s words of wisdom to him and his reaction when Jay moved the family out of Marcy Projects.
A new track by Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown hit the internet a couple of days ago. I’m late but I’m just like, is this woman serious? Ugh, she’s nuts (I have a personal story to corroborate that claim…but that’s another blog)!
The song, entitled Let Em Know features Lil Fame from MOP and rapper BAM. It was produced by Easy Mo Bee and Brown drops lines about Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Eve, Trina and Lil Kim (again). I wasn’t going to post this initially but I figured, maybe other femcees or aspiring femcees can take this as a lesson for what not to do. You need more people Foxy. You need more people…
At this point, who cares? Seriously. She’s been throwing shots at folks ever since she began releasing these random tracks since being released from jail and no one has responded yet. MESSAGE! Smh
