Rihanna Knows...

I'll never hate on someone's hustle. Who has time for that. Therefor i will never hate on Robyn. I just can't find it in me to hate on her. I'm actually, quite intrigued with her. She's way smarter then anyone could imagine. What Rihanna knows, that most celebrity's for some reason don't, is the formula to being famouse. And staying there.

Rihanna is so impressive, because not only does she stay relevant, she is SUCCESSFUL. Her album hit 1 million in only 5 weeks. So you can call it a flop for the 1st weeks sales, but its actually her fastest selling album to date to hit 1 million. Which means it will probably be one of her most successful selling albums. Which means she has managed NOT to get dropped from her record label, and go on a world tour. More endorements will be thrown at her. More money in her pocket. And she doesn't possess not one single talented bone in her body. Mindblowing. This pretty girl, who is one of the most famous women in the world...with no talent..all because she knows.

Lets recap. Her 1st 3 albums were...OK. Not one of them went to #1. Good Girl Gone Bad actually did the best, and it only went to #2. The sales were fair. Her look was...alright? Jay-Z stood behind her, so she got some brownie points that. But i believe its safe to say nobody was really looking for old Riri. Then she revamped her look. Who knew a haircut, some black dye, and a new stylist could take Rir from this...

To this....

Now she has our attention. She releases some hot chart topping singles. Rereleases her Album. Starts dating Chris Brown. America loves her. Still has zero talent. But we can't get enough of her. She's on every blog. Performing on the VMA's. She's the new face of Gucci and Covergirl. C'mon Rihanna! She did it! On her way to the top! Then this happens...

The "Chris Brown thing". You know American loves a good scandal. All press is good press. No matter how unfortunate the situation. Right? She goes silent (not hiding, just silent) for 9 months. In and out of the studio. Seen with Kanye West. Seen with Jay Z. All the biggest names in the industry obviously by her side. Featured on Jay-Z's song. Featured in Kanye's video. Still has her name in our mouth. The nude pictures leak! She looses her cover on theUS Vogue! But still stays relevant, without saying 1 word. Then the infamouse 20/20 interview. Oh GOD! She's dumped Chris. She didn't hit him. He made her cringe at the sound of his voice! (i had to laugh-out-loud at that one) She's doing this for all the little girls around the world whos boyfriends beat them up like hers did! Right? Thats what America wants to here. So shes milks it. Lays it on thick! And finally comes back with Rated R. Probably her best album to date. Almost like an Autobiography. You still ignore the fact that she's tone deaf. She has the right producers and writers behind her. Her image is racier. She's taken on this "i don't give a fuck attitude". On the cover of GQ. Lands Vogue Italia. Gets paid $500,000 to perform for New Years Eve. Still boring as ever. But America cannot get enough of her!

So whos Rihanna gonna date now. She's always talking about having sex and what not. Who's she gonna be having sex with? Definitly not Chris. His career is pretty much over. Lost all his endoresements. Album FLOPPED. Concert's not selling well. She couldn't date him again. And loose all her endoresments? You know American doesn't play that. She has an image to uphold and an example to set for young women! She better not fuck up! Says America at least. So who can compare to Chris Brown? You can't move backwards..only forwards.

A nobody. Who she surely has turned into a somebody. Who has the same sex appeal as Chris Brown. With equal the money. You know those baseball players make the MOST money. Chris bout to be broke anyway. Matt Kemp. Again, America is obssessed. Everyone is goggling Matt Kemp. Their all over the place. Paparazzi is stalking. Blogs going crazy. E News is reporting. She's done it again. We can't get enough of Robyn Fenty. She truly knows the formula to remaing famous. Without a lick of talent. That takes brains. And a good ass PR team. I'm not mad at you Riri. Do your thing.

Now only if artist with talent (i.e Amerie, Latoya Luckette, Kelly Rowland) could get on this same train...

Shoe Fetish

Anyone that knows me knows that i'm obsessed with a nice pair of shoes. And by shoes i don't mean tennis. Call me what you want, but i don't wear anything with shoe strings. I own 1 pair, and the only time i put those on my feet is when im going to the gym. I need a point. I need a heel. Preferably between 2-3 inches. And it needs to be a hard sole. Not plastic. Like my good friend Wilfred would say "If you can't here me coming down the hall, i don't want them. Clack or go home."" So anytime you see Shoe Fetish as the heading just know its a sickning shoe.

This shoe is going to be my next impulse purchase. It's Gucci. And i think it's possibly one of the most beautiful stunning pair of shoes I've seen in a very long time. I don't like gaudy logo print, or anything that's trendy. Trends fade. My style is kind of timeless. I want a shoe that i can wear for years. I look at it as an investment. It better be an investment for $650 of my hard earned dollars.

And remember people, you can never, and i mean NEVER, have to many pairs of black shoes.

God gave you a mouth to...

The Simple Formula to making a relationship work. Communication and Honesty. Love is already a given. Honesty is another blog. COMMUNICATION. Lets say it one more time people. COM-U-NI-CATION.

For some reason or the other, friends or lovers, people just do not know how to communicate with each other. You could have the 2 most intellectual people in the world. But for some reason when emotions are involved 2 people can't seem to TRY to understand each other. All because people feel before they listen. You could be completely right. You can talk to someone untill your blue in the face. That person is not going to hear anything your saying if they are not listening. It takes 2 people to have a conversation. One talking and one listening is not communicating. One talking and one trying to understand what one is SAYING is communicating.

I've lost so many friends because of the lack of communication. People get mad at one another for things said inbetween different people and never for 1 second think to go to the source. What do they do? They get mad, let the tension build up till its about to blow through the roof, and either A. Fight or B. stop speaking all together. When it could have all been resolved with 1 conversation. You'd be amazed at what opening your mouth could do. "Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see". It seems these days that people believe whatever they hear, and if they see it, well then they just KNOW the entire story. Enough to go run and tell all their friends. Who will tell their friends. Kinda like when Chris Brown and Rihanna had their scuffle. Everyone "HEARD" Rihanna hit Chris Brown 1st. Which gave him a free pass to beat her face in. Right. Chris never said it. Rihanna said she DIDN'T. But thats not what you "heard". So it must have happened! She had to hit him 1st! I heard he's nice! I heard she's a bitch! He's a star! He can dance! He's sexy! She's mean! She has herpies! I saw it on her lip! He couldn't have just clicked out and went crazy on her! Not my friend Chris Brown! Riiiighttttttt...

What i've realized is over the years is that communication comes with maturity. The older i get, the better i become at communicating with people. I've always been a little mature for my age as far as communicating. When i was a kid, i couldnt communicate with other children. So i just followed my mother around all day. I dreaded school. Acting interested in talking about sesame street and lamb chops. I was such a dick. I remember i told everyone their is no possible way a big fat white man with a beard could slid that big belly down, idk, 20 billion Chimneys in a matter of what, 10 hours? Nobody believed me. They didn't LISTEN. And then they would come to school crying when they found out old Fatty wasn't real. I told you so stupid! I always thought other kids were so dumb and did such silly things. Like who touches hot stoves or walk around glass with no shoes on their feet. If you parents TOLD you don't do it, why are you doing it? See, the lack of listening is why you have glass stuck in your foot, or a burned finger. I never could understand why it's so hard for people to communicate with each other. You explain your point of view, i explain mine, and in a reasonable tone. We listen to each other and...omg...look what happened? Problem solved!!! Congratulations! You 2 humans just accomplished what a flock of 50 birds do everyday! Your so smart!

Listen to your boyfriend or girlfriend people. LISTEN to their problem. Understand their problem (or try to). And then explain yours. And do it...i know this might be hard..but for God's Sake....do it without rolling your eyes or raising your voice. You'll be together so much longer. I promise.

Of course untill the cheating starts. But thats a different blog.

Oh No She Didn't!

Because Keri Hilson is actually talented i told myself i would try NOT to hate her after she made the "Turning me OFF" remix dissing Beyonce. I tried. I mean her hair-styles and her dance moves are already so pitiful, i think she embarrassed herself enough by even trying to ATTEMPT to talk shit about Beyonce in the 1st place. But then back-peddled and said "It was about all my haters." Bitch please. It was very obvious who you were talking about. But just b/c you tried to clean it up, i'm not going to totally delete you off my ipode. I put that behind me and got her album. Which was good by the way! And her new single "I like" is quite impressive. I love it.

Then the bitch gets wreck less. AGAIN. So supposedly she was flicking off some Beyonce stans that were getting a little out of control at a party she was at. And then updated her twitter saying
"I'm glad i have my real fans, Beyonce stans are crazy" or something along those lines.

Well, i can agree with you. We are crazy. BUT only when provoked. Keri Hilson, honey you provoked it. You CANNOT diss someone who paved the way for YOU! People love Beyonce b/c it is VERY rare that you see someone who is as talented and driven as she is. Her live performances are AMAZING and her voice is like no other. She works NON-stop to deliver. To be a black woman in a world full of Britney Spears fans, and to achieve the success that Beyonce has is phenomenal. So of course when people try to hate on her (especially someone who hasn't even put out an album yet) we are going to retaliate in Beyonce's defense. We all know she won't. She's way to controlled for that.

Needless to say i was late for my work-out this morning b/c i had to redo my entire playlist to replace some of Ms. Hilson's songs.

From the Desk of Necole Bitchie

So i was reading some of Necole Bitchie's responses on formspring (kinda like an interview thing where you can ask her whatever you want) and i saw something that moved me in such a way i had to share it with you guys. I felt like she was talking directly to me.

What advice would you give somebody who is continually being put down about her future goals? Do u believe that sometimes people should just give up, or keep going even though you keep falling and hope for a day that it work out?

One of the books that changed my life was called "The Dream Giver". It was about someone named Ordinary that left the land of Familiar to pursue his dreams.

In the book "Nobodies" never left the land of Familiar but Ordinary didn't want to be like the rest of the nobodies so he packed his things to leave. When he reached the Border he ran into Bullies which were in the form of his Mother, Uncle and Brother. They discouraged him by telling him all the reasons why he shouldn't leave the land of familiar.

Right now you are Ordinary living in the land of familiar. I was there but I packed all my things up one day and moved out of my comfort zone (away from friends and family). Their concerns were no longer important to me as it was up to me to do what it took to make my dreams come true.

I've falling more than a few times. Moving city to city, living out of cars, sleeping on couches, but I never gave up and you shouldn't either.

My best advice is to DO YOU! I think a lot of people fall short of achieving their goals or doing what is true to them in life because they are scared of what other people may think. We get tied down by jobs we hate and see no real progression because of the fear of failing and people telling us “I told you so”. You are going to have people that tell you that what you want in life can not be achieved only because they are envious that you are even trying when they may have given up. You will have people that tell you that you shouldn’t go for it, just because they care about you enough that they don’t want to see you fail. But at the end of the day it’s about what is real to you and what you want. Don’t let anyone live your life for you. Do what’s real to you and everything will work out

It was so inspirational. Kind of let me know that i wasn't crazy for my recent actions.

You Devil Worshiper You!

So I'm a tad bit infatuated with this video. And the lyrics are nasty. I love em.

But i also posted this to discuss what people are calling "demonic".

I personally, think that people are not ready for anyone that brings something different. People say Lady Gaga worships the devil. People say b/c Rihanna has gone dark and edgy she worships the devil. And now Jay-Z worships the devil. It's amazing to me. Like when did artistic/different equal the devil? I mean they even say BEYONCE sold her soul to the devil, and she consistently talks about how God has blessed her so much. It just amazes me the things people can take from something and run with it. In my mind if your successful and black in that industry people are going to find something negative to stick to you anyway. "Devil Worshiper" is the new thing.

Fuck, they would call Alicia Keys a devil worshiper but they found "home-wrecker" 1st.

How can you not love them? The Best Rapper Alive and the Queen B. They make you want to be the best and your craft. I just adore these two.
