Friday Love Notes: Is It Better To Be A Jump Off Or A Wife?
In an age where it seems evil is good and ying is yang, jump off's are getting better perks than wives are. How is that you're a jumpoff yet you're cast on the Real Housewives Of Atlanta? While the wife of the same man who paid for the jumpoff's boobs, lips and "makeup" has to grin and bear it, albeit with some benefits of her own I'm sure. Wouldn't want to give up that title of Mrs. Big would we? Why should she?
What is the purpose of getting married in this new age of celebrity fanatics (stans) and reality ...

Friday Love Notes: Should She Put Her Career On Hold For Babies?
It's Friday night in the Knowles-Carter household and Beyonce has had an amazing week.
Her new perfume Heat is the number #1 selling fragrance and she just took home 6 Grammy's, a first for any woman ever. She's at home sleeping in his T-shirt when in walks Jay-Z who just came back from sitting courtside, Knicks and Nets giving him high-5's. After this amazingly successful week for his loving wife all he has to say is: "You just won 6 Grammy's, you smell good, now what about that baby you promised me in Dangerously In Love?"
I don't think it's meant ...

Most children are taught & shown different things by their parents & neighbors that shape who we are for years to come. At that age we have a limited sight distance that consists of our family, schoolmates & members of our place of worship. When we turn 18 and venture off into the world how much of these teachings do we carry ...
Friday Love Notes: I Love The Sex…But I Can’t Stand Him! [NSFW]
What is a girl to do if she still on it? This week I received a very interesting email in my box. It seems a reader feel's compelled to be in a situation that SHE THINKS know one can understand but her. In short, she slipped up and got dickmatized by a coworker! You can read below for yourself but it's NSFW, it sounds like an Usher song.
Dear Cmongood,

Cmongood.com Interview With Ben Baller
Many of you know Ben Baller, the jewelry designer behind Nas' N chain, TK's grill, and Fat Joe's I-95 South chain. If you saw that AT&T commercial with the dude with dreads at all the sneaker stores you may have noticed him in the line waiting for some size 13 somethings to drop. He was cool enough to let me get a quick interview with him for the site.
CMONGOOD:What made you want to start designing jewelry?
BEN: I was tired of everything else and felt like I've conquered almost everything I've wanted to so far, so I jumped into biz ...
Friday Love Notes: What’s It Take For A Down Ass Bitch To Become Wifey?
As ambitious men navigating your way through perilous, rocky crossroads in your career, it would seem likely that when you arrive to the top of your game you want the lovely lady standing next to you to be at your level. They say to get to the top you have to step on a lot of people on the way up. Is your down ass chick someone that gets sacrificed in the climb?
In several songs in pop culture, women have been told that we need to stick with our men through ups and downs, thick and thins, ...

Ok CiCi I like it and I love the end this song, very cute. Still a little tepid compared to the Goodies singer we know knew but certainly more of a fantasy ride than what we last heard. This time on nothing less than 20’s.
In honor of her hard earned happiness, today’s throwback video is of Keyshia Cole’s classic album maker “Love”.
According to @monicamylife Keyshia Cole is very much in love right now:
We talk about labor and delivery and how much its going to hurt–that’s all she is worried about right now. First of all she is extremely in love so that always makes pregnancy feel right. via @necolebitchie
I love hearing new female voices and was surprised to learn this band not just a solo act, like the band Sade. I just spotted this at BlindI and it’s more than worth the listen. This is a LIVE recording of Sonnymoon’s version of Drake’s song HOUSTOATLANTAVEGAS. I am blown away at how pure and natural she sounds.
Angela Yee dished this out on Twitter yesterday, she must have gotten the inside scoop from her interview with Amerie below. props to Ms. Yee for the Tweetphoto. Congrats to the long time couple, nice rock!
A day in the life of Atlanta’s most gorgeous actor Lance Gross shot by photographer Hannibal Matthews.
This is the second time we’ve seen photo’s hit the net of Lance done by Hannibal and they are just as gorgeous as the first, if not more so. Hannibal is a very popular Atlanta photographer who was first made known to me at a Broke $ Boujee party. This may or may not have been his jumping off point but I think it was. Alot of the artists that he began shooting were Broke $ Boujee regulars.
Hannibal took the famed party potraits while Vinnet worked the room with his at the moment shots. Now Vinnet is up in NY doing red carpets photos that have been featured on every website from Perez Hilton to TheYbf and Hannibal is shooting the likes of Lance Gross and Eva Marcille. Come up kids indeed.
In Feb. ’07, I met [visual artist] Fray Wall at Guitar Center. And then Fray took me over to promoter Ian Ford. Fadia was looking for a photographer for a party she was doing. I didn’t know Fadia at the time. Ian Ford basically introduced me to Fadia and from then on we started doing Broke & Boujee.
If Johnathan Mannion is the Jay-Z of hip-hop photography, then Hannibal is — who’s an up-and-coming hip-hop artist? — is the Wale. So, that’s what it is. I’m up-and-coming, and I think people are going to hear my voice. It’s a voice of the underground now, but soon it’ll be the voice of the mainstream because people aren’t going to be able to deny. – Hannibal
Pop the top for the rest of the day in Lance’s ever so sexy, chocolate covered, 8 pack having life. More After The Jump »
