New Music; Love, Sex, Magic

This song was leaked about a million years ago, but it was a demo with Justin singing it. Apparently due to these tough economic times, he has opted to "give" it to Ciara (I'm sure it was for a nice fee, let's be real) so that she could have a chance at having her album actually come out and chart. He's so nice like that. Anyway, I didn't really care for the song, as it sounded like a leftover from Futuresex/Lovesounds. I wanted something different from him. I'm thinking that's why he didn't release it. Anyway, the video definitely helped me like/get the song. It's hyper sexual. It's pretty cool to see Ciara now. She's really come a long way and she looks really good in her video. She's been serving up visually interesting and fashion forward videos for her past few releases. And to think they used to call her a tranny...

Throwback Joint: My Neck My Back

This video comes to us courtesy of Miss Thug Missus herself, Khia. I was thinking about this song today and I had to youtube it. I forgot how much I was amazed that this broad got put on. She's not pretty in an um, traditional way. It speaks volumes that she has stretch marks and her titties hang low like my chain, but she's ready and willing to put it all out on display. Bravo? Or Hoe sit down. You decided. Either way, it's a catchy song, an I'm not mad at that.

Throwback Joint: Work it Out

You know you truly Stan for Beyonce when you know all of her ish, not just the singles that blew up on the radio. This song came to me the other day and I remembered how much I like it. It never really caught on. It was early on as Beyonce as a solo artist and the Neptunes were trying a new production style. Maybe if it were to be released today with a hot video and a signature dance move we'd be seeing homos all over youtube recreating it. Or not.

Oh Make Me Over

Tonight is the night that I wait for all cycle: MAKEOVERS. It’s the time when people are given chances to get new looks given to them courtesy of top names in the industry. One would think they’d be excited, but no, they cry. How are you going to be a model but get all dramatic(al) when someone chops off your hair. We live in the age of Beyonce. Even the baldest of bitches can come out with the phoniest of ponies and make it their own. It’s only hair and it’ll grow back (usually) If not, buy some from your nearest yaki provider and call it a day. And hell, if Tyra gives you a busted do, don’t get mad. It’s not like you paid for it. It cost free.99 and we all know you get what you pay for.

Jessica: The pretty Puerto Rican. She is still pretty, but they made her edgy by cutting it and adding red to it. So daring.

Sandra: They gave her blonde hair. Now if they could make her less of a twat, that’d be a miracle

Allison (The Meerkat): Got a head full of luscious blonde locks. Now she looks like a Meerkat with a mermaid wig

Nijah: I can’t tell what they did. Maybe an upgrade to her weave?

Fo: Apparently was too “cute” so they made her look like a boy. Tyra is hateful.

Celia: Apparently her hair was as dry as Ghandi’s sandal and they cut it off. She still has a musy face to me.

Aminat: They took out her fro weave (I didn’t even know those existed) and Miss Jay rocked it as a shawl and then he placed it on his/her head. What the hell? Did his mother not teach him better than to wear the weave of others? That’s just nasty. Her fro is gone and they gave her some Naomi weave. Now she reminds me of Tiffany with a dash of Camille. Let’s hope no bitch pours beer in this weave.

Kortnie: went read to match her orange skin.

London: looks like she’s wearing and Andy Warhol wig. I once made out with someone who looked to be wearing the same wig, so I’m not at it.

Natalie: OH hell naw. They went in to chop of some girl’s hair and she was like “WAIT!” then she bobbed and weaved her way away from the shears. The stylist threw his hands up in a gay fit and stormed off. Turns out they weren’t going to do anything to her. Tyra liked her as is. It was a lesson in trust and apparently this broad failed.

Teyona: Tyra is obsessed with her alien like face and keeps on referring to the wind tunnel effect. I’d knock Tyra’s ass out for talking greasy about me like that. She don’t know these girls like that! Anyway, she gives ol girl a long luscious weave that is supposed to look like a jherri curl. IT’s 2009. WHAT THE F. The hair is alright, but now when I see Teyona, all I can think of is ET got his hands on a case of Soul Glow. I’ll be checking couches to see if she leaves stains on the cushions Tyra has ruined this girl for me!

Tahlia: Got a big blonde weave to look like a lion. ? Umm ok? Fo gives her a side eye and starts to cry. Sandra makes fun of her obviously and points to the fact that she’s crying like a little girl. Actually, now she looks like a little boy, Sandra. The correct phrase is “she’s crying like a little boy”

Back at the house, Fo brings up her food stamp past and talks about how ugly she feels. Ho, sit down.
The girls go to meet with a Covergirl Rep who look suspiciously like Blossom. What ever happened to her? Has the recession hit her ass to? Is this why she’s doing bootleg promotion for covergirl? How dreadful!
Aminat was told not to get drunk by Sandra. Why the black girls gotta hate on each other? Aminat was NOT happy and says the quote of the night “ Keep it cute, or put it on mute” HAHA I am going out tonight JUST so I can use that on someone. Real talk.

Anyway, the shoot was about the girls lighting themselves with things that looked like curling irons. Nigel shot the girls and for the most part they were boring. Fo cried again. On set. In front of Nigel. Who does that?! Judging had it moments. For instance, when Nole suggested a model sit on the glow stick to give her a more exciting expression. Aminat got called out for doing the sixth grade ghetto girl pose. (bent over, one hand on hip. Don’t act like you don’t know) Rosie Perez take the wheel! Teyona’s weave apparently is busted so she will have to get it done over. I enjoyed when Fo lied about loving her hair and Tyra was like “No you don’t. I don’t believe you!” Straight up called her a liar! You don’t lie to your mama, the doctor or TYRA. Fo you should know better.

Jessica went home. She was pretty and all but she kinda sucked. I think Tyra cast her just to cut her ass. Gotta deflate the egos of these bitches. Fo cried some more. I look forward to the rest of the season with her crying over being biracial, freckled, short, on food stamps, type O negative. There are TONS of reasons for her to cry.

Grammy Roundup

SO how did I not remember that tonight was Grammy night? My boss told me and I instantly felt so lame. I have two exams tomorrow and have been studying my ass off. I received a text from my friend Jared say "Are you watching this?!" I said "No, on DVR delay, as I hate commcericals" Jared then told me that WHITNEY "I LOVE YOU BOBBAY BROWN!" HouSTON was on the Grammy's. My studies were put on hold and I turned on the TV with a quickness.

I watched U2 and I was waiting to see Whtiney. U2 was alright, but Bono kept on doing this odd Captain Morgan leg thing. It was alarming. Whitney came out looking really good. She had on a new wig (it was on straight too, y'all!! Big ups!), her lips were bussin' and her fun bags looked like the were about to bubble over at any given moment. I was NOT mad. Whitney can clean up nicely, but the trick is to see what she says. She started off normal, but then launched into crazy and flashed her leg. That's what I tuned in for (and why I'll probably fail Organic Chem AND physics). She looked like she was high on umm, life? Hell, if anyone can tell me where I can buy some "life" like that, I'd be willing to pay top dollar for it. She talked about Clive Davis getting another lifetime icon/you the best ever award. Does he get one like EVERY show? I swear. She then went on to present Jennifer Hudson with best R&B album. After talking to my sister, I have realised that I am not looking too much into Whitney's appearance. She was like "Why were her eyes so squinty?" My sister apparently knows a thing or seven about wearing fake lashes and know they can be heavy but says there's no excuse for Whit. She also pointed out how it looked like Whit was about to fall the fuck over when she opened that envelope. I love that my sister validates me.

I am shocked Jennifer won. I really liked Al Green's album and Raphael's album is decent (I just got it from the library. FOR FREE. We's in a recession, leave me alone) Jennifer looked really pretty, but her dress made me think of one of those oversized bibs or napkins, one might wear if dining on lobster. She gave an emotional speech. It's always nice to see people who aren't jaded and who seem genuinely excited about getting an award.

Al Green performed, but not before The Rock (I am NOT calling his ass Dwayne) and JT gave really boring, unfunny introductions. Just when I was starting to think JT was funny he had to go and pull this BS. JT, sit down!

Coldplay (wait, aren't there more members other than Chris Martin?) performed with Jay Z. Jay made a Bobby reference. I can't turn this ish off now. I would have been ok dying had Whitney yelled out "BOBBBAAyyy!!" but alas, she didn't. I guess I live to die another day. Oh, Chris is singing with the other dudes now. He's so Beyonce--do your own thing and go back to the less famous bandmates when YOU are ready to do so.

Carrie Underwood- I am NOT mad. She has come into her own as a performer. She seems a lot more comfortable. She looks banging and her songs seems like it'd be fun to sing in a bar after a few drinks. I am not really paying attention but it sounds like a song about going out and getting smashed and not quite remembering what you did. Carrie, stop narrating my life!

I think "Sugarland" sounds sexual. It may be my new phrase of the week.
example: "He was all up in your sugarland!" or "You can't get all up in my sugarland. The park is closed! My goodies stay in the jar"

Miley Cyrus AND Taylor Swift?! Am I dying? Are people afraid to tell me? MY wildest dreams are coming true tonight! Maybe I should go play the lottery.

Does Alison Krauss get a Grammy every year? I have no idea who she is, but year after year she is nomiated and winning awards. She probably has like am million by now and probably regifts them.

Jennifer Hudson is singing a capella. That's ballsy. She brought out a black choir! I wish I had a choir that would follow me around. Jennifer did a really good job. She has really grown on me.

I still don't get the whole appeal of the Jonas brothers. They are like Maroon 5 lite. I don't mean that in a good way. I guess if Stevie Wonder will perform with them, I can't hate too much. Out of respect for Stevie, I'mma keep it moving...

I have to wonder what is going on in Katy Perry's head while she sings "I Kissed a Girl" Is it like ""Fuck, this song made me a ton of money, but I am over it..." is it "No one wil ever take me seriously now..." I am just curious. I am also curious about her shoes. Is she wearing flat shoes? If Tina Turner's 70 year old ass can still do Proud Mary in heels, you can bop around in something more than flats. Thanks.

Kanye's hair is killing me. I get the whole 80s influence, but he's looking like an extra from Saved by the Bell. (once again, not a compliment)

MIAs belly is ridiculous. It looks fake. I am really upset that she popped her coochie while pregnant. Mama, sit down! That's how your ass got in this predicament in the first place! I think she's going to be a fun mom. She may steal your ipod and your weed, but she'd be fun.

OK, I was bored with everything that was going on, so I went back to homework. I was shocked back to reality when Samuel L Jackson came on the TV and started yelling at me. Why is he so aggressive? Have I wronged him? Why does he always yell? I don't get it. Sam introduced his "good friend" JT. JT sang with TI and it was alright. Tons and tons of raw emotions and people beating on buckets. The song is not my favourite, but whatever. I am sure I'll love it after I am forced to listen to it over and over again. Throw in a remix and a video and it'll be my ringtone in no time!

Lil Wayne brought Robin Thicke. I am glad that I kept on watching. I love me some Robin Thicke. Who knew a Canadian could have so much soul? Certainly not me. Weezy's performance has me all sorts of excited for Mardi Gras. Wayne didn't win album of the year and I'm not too shocked. Maybe next year he should team up with Alison Krauss. Just a suggestion.

Throwback Joints: Erykah Badu Edition

Congrats to Erykah for having a baby. I heard that she blogged about the birthing process real time via Twitter. Eww. I heard she named the unfortunate sould Twitty Milk. At any rate, I have fallen in love with her all over again. The first video I'm posting is "Bag Lady" I LOVE THIS SONG. I know too many bag ladies and hope that I never become of them.




This second clip is "Tyrone" I have recently dusted off this phrase and thought now would be a good time to post the video.

Throwback Joint: Oops (Oh My)

Today's throwback joint is broken up into two parts. The idea came from Erykah Badu allegedly (lawd, I hope it's just a horrible horrible internet rumour, but i doubt it) naming her child Twitty Milk. After a few comments back on forth on facebook, Tweet's name came up and I thought "what happened to her ass?" I really did like her. "Smoking Cigarettes" is such a good song. Anyway, here is the video that kicked it all off:



P.S. How cool does that ice hotel look? I would LOVE to go to one of those.

New Music: Lions, Tigers & Bears


Find more videos like this on The Hype Factor


So this song isn't necessarily new, but the video is. it's no secret that I LOVe Jazmine Sullivan and she has gotten me through some of my cuntiest and most dramatical moments. The video is full of some emotion and I, for one, am happy to see the return of the Mariah carey slow motion walk/sing effect in vidoes. Enjoy!

God Don't LIke Ugly

Ok,
so yesterday I took a really difficult exam. I mean, the teacher was asking questions about things not in the book. I left feeling relieved to have finished the exam, but a little anxious as I didn't think I did all that well. So, I am walking from my class to the parking garage when I see something that made me stop and smile. It was a license plate that read "I love my kitty!" or something lame like that. I had to laugh out loud. I imagined some old lady behind the wheel rocking a sweatshirt with a cat on it. Much to my chagrin, it was a man. There I was, feeling sorry for this "cat lady" and it turned out to be a MAN. All I could think was "HOW DREADFUL!" (that's compliments of Dwight from ATL Housewives) Since my mind tends to run with things, I instantly imagined his home life. He looked fairly normal, so I assumed he was probably made to put that plate on his car by his cat loving wife. Maybe his partner made him do it, as I don't know many straight men who proclaim their love for cats. At any rate, I just imagined how sad he must be that he has to drive around proclaiming his love for cats while people like me just giggled and made up stories about his life.
I made it to the garage, having forgotten about my test. I hate the UCF garage only because parking sucks and people literally stalk you when you walk to your car. People have offered me rides. Stranger danger! So I'm walking and my car is in sight. A car is stalking me, but I don't let it bother me. I am in full out strut mode and I'm in my own world..and then BAM! I trip over a freaking parking median! Seeing as how it happened a few minutes after me thinking not so nice thoughts, I figured it had to have been Karma acting with a quickness.
Sadly, I do not think Karma is done with me. Today after leaving a long ass physics lab, where I was assaualted by TWO different people with harsh breath, I stopped at the Union to pee. Before leaving, I checked myself out and thought "good job Ian. way to give a damn. You had class at 8:30am but still look presentable" After leaving the bathroom I felt everyone's eyes on me. I chalked it up to Chip & Pepper holding up their part of our agreement: I pay waaay too much for your jeans and in turn, you get me the attention I crave. Sadly, it took me a march through the busiest parts of campus to realise my zipper was down. Not just coming down, but way the F down. LIke my turkey timer could have popped out and made an appearance at any given time. All I cold think was "Thank the lawd, I wore drawers today..."

Here's to hoping someone saw me and laughed at my my faux pas. Oh, yeah, and here's to them tripping and not looking nearly as cool as I did when it happened.

Throwback Joint: Party All the Time

This video come to us courtesy of Eddie Murphy. The year was 1985. Ian was years old. Reagan was president and Eddie had his love of trannies on the downlow.
I have to give Eddie the credit. He was the original J. Lo. He stepped up and said "Hey, I don't suck THAT much and I'm famous...lemme make a record" J Lo. had Diddy at her side, while Eddie had Rick James. I'm not sure who is the winner of the two, so I'll have to get back at you. I must remark that I am feeling Rick James' hair. Now I know where Remy Ma jacked her style!
