I am not a fan. OMG was as far to the left as I could take.  Still, I can’t hate on the risk taking, at least I’m not bored by it and at least he’s dancing.  I just gotta watch on mute.

I love to post about new female voices and this girl kind of reminds me of Pink with less steel. But mainly I’m just happy to see Lil Kim back and looking great too! Get it Kimmy, I need to get on her ab work out plan, she must be watching Kim K’s video. *sucks in stomach*  spotted at Rap-Up

I love hearing David Letterman announce rappers it just sounds so weird *snickers*.  Big Boi performs my joint Follow Us with Vonnegutt which has grown on me.  I hope he releases Be Still with Janelle Monae, that’s the song that’s most stuck in my head.

I am not on the Fantasia pity party train.  I believe that you create your own reality and if you make your bed you lie in it.  You don’t complain, cry and wait for some hero to come and put a smile on your face and make all your pain worth it.  Most of that ish is not worth it because it’s self-inflicted.  Girl, tell those mf’er’s in your household get the eff out and get a damn job.  Hell,  just a few years ago you were broke too.  Nobody tried to kill Fantasia, she chose what she felt was the easy way out and tried to commit suicide *side eye* (we don’t believe you, you need more people).  Then the next day your management releases a statement that tried to let Fantasia off the hook by claiming she was misled by Antuan Cook.  This is despite the fact that the pictures of them together surfaced months ago, then his wife came out and said they were still together.  Why does she deserve pity or our financial support?  Fantasia is a grown woman who seems to be making immature decisions.  Now she is spinning those decisions into album sales and a reality show and it’s sickening to me.

I mean let’s compare Fantasia to Jennifer Hudson. She started her career in a similar fashion and she also experienced extreme personal tragedy with having all but one of the member’s of her immediate family brutally murdered.  She picked herself up and rebuilt her life little by little with a new child and a blossoming career.  Now that is admirable and deserving of praise.

Fantasia’s career has been built on this woe is me “victim” image and as a strong women it makes me cringe.  That image is not admirable it’s embarassing.  No, I don’t want Fantasia to be ridiculed for her sick sad life of being taken advantage of, but at what point does one take responsibility for enabling those situations to occur?  Have you ever had that friend who bad things always seem to happen to?  It’s a cycle, she said herself that she constantly has been used.  That is the addiction, that is why she didn’t commit suicide.

How selfish for this woman who has been given so much to complain about how committing suicide “didn’t work and she’s still in her hell hole” when she has a daughter to live for.

Excerpt from management’s press release about alleged suicide attempt via Miss Bitchie :

Fantasia will be stronger, smarter, and better for it. Her work has always inspired her and served as a source of strength. Her new album, “Back To Me,” will be released on August 24th.

The lyrics to “I’m Here” say it best:
“I Believe I Have Inside Of Me
Everything That I Need To Live A Bountiful Life
With All The Love Inside Of Me
I’ll Stand As Tall As The Tallest Tree
And I’m Thankful For Each Day That I’m Given
Both The Easy And The Hard Ones I’m Livin’
But Most Of All
Yes, I’m Thankful For Lovin’ Who I Really Am”

Fantasia sends her praise to God and her eternal gratitude to her fans, friends, and family.

God is good.

All hail the spin machine.  I believe that Fantasia believe’s the bullshit she is saying in this ABC video below. thanks YBF for the pics

Nicki state’s that she is not satisfied with her place in the rap game right now. She say’s that she doesn’t think she has a big enough fan base right now.  I don’t think it’s the size it’s the purchasing power of her fan base that probably concern’s her or should.

Nicki Minaj sat down with Honey Magazine to speak on the creative process behind her upcoming album, Pink Friday, Lil Wayne’s November release and the story behind every alter ego.
