There's basically discussion about Swizz and Alicia. Here's my question to you.
Would WE know about Alicia asking your children to call her Umi (Mom in Arabic) if you didn't tell us?
In other words, I get it. Woman scorned, blah, blah, blah, cry you a river.
How I feel about it?
I could careless. Honey, he married his mistress. Now, for the record, that NEVER happens in real life.
So basically, it means you are stuck in some sort of matrix. Go see Inception and figure this shit out. Oh, go with a friend, not the producer I saw you with at Aliya S. King's book release party for Platinum.
Do I smell a repeat of a resurrection of someone's album career? I'll wait.
I am not sure why Access Hollywood took the time to write up this little note, but you've been quoted as being happy you married Alicia Keys.
I think if the IRS wanted my ass, I too, would be happy to marry someone who had more money than I did.But we know that none of that really matters, right?
Just want to remind you of the sloppy mess you left behind, and that Twitter became your enemy thanks to Mashonda. We followed her heartache everyday...how wretched you were. Especially since I attended that great surprise party you threw for her at Cain back in 2006. I wouldn't have guessed that four years later, you would have thrown a bun in Alicia's oven and married her.
But boy, were you smart. When you saw that Mashonda wasn't making you any money (yes, we remember vaguely that she is also a singer), you went for the cash cow. I commend your skills, not many would be able to pull something like that off.
No, but seriously, Mazel Tov. Now, go produce something please. I am quite bored with the Alicia/Swizz union, and deep down inside, I am sure you are equally as tired of reading about it on every blog that deems it worthy to speak upon.
Saturdays are usually the best days of the week, because that's your first day off. I took a walk around the neighborhood, watched kids play, then came back to the blogs...yes, I am officially back, as I have been released from my "tour of duty" at my corporate job. So sad...sing me a love song please.
Some of the highlights from the Saturday Night Edition of the Black Daria Files:
SOULJA BOY STEALING FROM THE KIDDIES?
So, a few kids are up in arms regarding a song they claim was stolen by Soulja...check out their response below:
Chum'on Soulja...go stop by the kids house and say Hi...at the very least. #jussayin'
Here's a song I featured on tonight's show, check it out...I actually kinda like it. It's called 2 Milli. Now before you start getting indignant, just listen to the words to the song. Thx.
RHIANNA IN RED Darn it...now I have to change up my color...just because. OK, I kid, I kid - but tell me, what do we think of Rhianna as a redhead? See below and comment:
Sup my peoples. I've been notified that you were conveniently "unavailable" for the 25th anniversary of the "We Are The World" for Haiti recording.
Note: For the record, please scan for those whom made it to this..."thing."
Now, I know what you're about to say...my response is to "shut the fuck up and listen."
Now, for a little history sake, just would like you to know something, as I can tell some of you skipped a few classes in middle school..and you additionally weren't paying attention to popular culture.
Michael Jackson singlehandedly saved MTVs ass. Yes, ONE VIDEO. Followed by others, of course. When launched in August 1981, MTV showed promise to be a destination for all things music.
But there was a problem...
And that problem was that the radio dial had many stations. Not everyone was into Rock post-disco era...this "Pop" thing was making a rise. And the customer was most important at that time. MTV was a baby as far as pay-for-tv services were concerned.
I'm sure Jay you can relate...cable was JUST being installed in my neighborhood of Crown Heights in the early 90s...in the 80s, our demo was an afterthought.
Until MJ...he paved the way for "different" music.
Because of MJ, many other types of music essentially landed on the channel, and shows like "Yo MTV Raps" were created.
Let's add onto this: as a humanitarian, no one has come close to MJ. He selflessly gave back to those who needed it most, and was happy to bring joy to anyone's life, even though he could never have the peace we earned as human beings.
So I ask, what EXACTLY is your fucking excuse? You didn't get it? Wanna show MJ up? You'll have to do alot to get to that status, I don't give a flying ringding fignooty (my mother made that up) what you've done "since MJ"...with your generation/s (yeah, Jay makes it so) especially, there would be no "you" without MJ.
Too many things happened at the AMA's. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I'll start with what I caught, followed by what was online:
J. LO BUSTS HER ASS
No words. I'll let Whitney get up in that ass, maybe a little Thanksgiving Special of "Keeping It Real, Whitney" is in the works. Stay tuned.
WHITNEY IS A DIVA
I refuse to say anything bad about Whitney "THE DIVA" Houston. She gave her best live performance I've heard since promoting her album. Let's face facts. She's just not the Whitney we used to know, but she was the one we remembered last night. Take notes Bey and co.
RHIANNA'S AD FOR BAND-AID/ACE BANDAGES
I hope Johnson & Johnson broke her off for this...was it a coincidence that I thought of Band-Aids and my mind shot back to a bruised up Rhi? Or was I just supposed to be stupid and that was just supposed to fly over my head. And I guess the shoulder pads were to distract me from the lack of singing she actually did while on stage. OK, cool. She sucked anyway. I don't care what happened, she sucked and that's that.
LADY GOO-GOO-GAA-GAA
I mean whatever. I don't hate her, but don't really love her either. I don't know, just always so freaking distracted by the massive amount of shit that she wears, like that alone needs a show. Someone sent my co-host Courtney Brown a picture of the chick from The Fifth Element, and that's a perfect comparison to this outfit GooGaa is wearing.
EMINEM AND 50 CENT - BECAUSE HE CAN'T GET SHOT AT THE AMA'S
I assume that's why 50 performed, otherwise I would have been OK with just Eminem. Maybe 50 fit the quota. Or something. Em's last verse is the best part, IMO.
ALICIA KEYS & HER CHASITY JACKET
I don't really know why the show felt that after she performed with Jay, we needed to see her by herself. Filling that quota I guess, plus Bey wasn't available. Could be a reflection of the music, which kinda sucks, but somewhere Jazmine Sullivan or Chrisette Michele could have filled in a blank.
***THINGS I MISSED (AND THAT'S OK):
JAY & ALICIA
Sounds like Alicia is pushing through her voice...just isn't smooth to me...and I just am kinda like Jay-Z's broach is bothersome.
***PERFORMANCE I WISH I'D SEEN LIVE
TIMELESS JANET
People were hard on Janet about this performance but I thought she did her thing, isn't she over 40? Shiiiiiieeet, if I could remember five dance steps in a row, I'd be proud of myself. This was a mini-concert. I felt Mike's energy in this performance...yeah yeah, I know that sounds wack and clique, but that's how I felt about the performance.
And they won and stuff, score was 3-1. But just a few notes:
1. Alicia sounds flat...off-key...or something is just not right. 2. Crowd reaction, can I get that? Not in the budget I guess. And it's quite a large affair. 3. I want Alicia's Jacket. She can keep those boots. 4. What did Jay-Z say to Alicia at the end? Anyone know? Happens @ the 3:40 mark.
