Who Wore It Better?


It’s a dress faceoff! Songstress Kelly Rowland wore this pink embellished Balmain Fall 2013 dress for her judging duties on X-Factor last night & actress Kate Bosworth wore the exact same dress to the 2013 Met Gala. Kate accessorized her dress with a gold belt & black pumps. Kelly chose to wear the dress as is, paired with nude pumps. I think both ladies look nice, but Kelly killed it. She looks amazing. Who do you guys think wore it better?

Yo Gotti Is

After years and years of grinding, failed attempts at breaking into mainstream (which has never really been his main focus), and pushing his own music, Yo Gotti is finally able to move how he wants and stomp with the best of them. With an impeccable and already extensive discography, we can now add this 6th studio effort I am to a list of classics. Aside from the release of this album (which is projected to sell anywhere between 40-45k units), the Memphis household name has also announced his partnership signing deal with Epic Records and long time business partner L.A. Reid.



No one can tell me, or debate me even that his work ethic and consistency is anything less than persistent. There is no denying that. If you follow his career, you'd know that he brought himself out of not one, but two record deals ( TVT and RCA), started his own label, and has been moving units and doing numbers independently. He personifies the word Hustler! Period. Now that he has his deal with Epic (distributing through CMG), he is able to continue doing what he's been doing  only on a larger scale. Currently, Yo Gotti has four singles making their way up the charts Act right (makes me feel like I should be in a booty club),  King Sh*t  Feat. T.I., Lebron James (one of my faves), and Cold Blood Feat. J. Cole.

Yo Gotti I Am Tour

This week Gotti is making his rounds in between touring (which he is headlining) promoting the new project and of course he stopped by my favorite morning show The Breakfast Club. He dished on everything from his new deal, to rumors with him signing with T.I. (not true), beef with Gucci Mane and Juicy J, learning from his mistakes of signing two bad deals, and more! The album I AM can be purchased in stores and of course via iTunes (total of 13 tracks, and over 7 features).

keeping Up With Kanye

It's official! I think Kanye has lost a bit of his marbles. His interviews and Point of Views are getting more and more reckless by the sit down. Just Yesterday Kanye took to the Ellen DeGeneres show to premiere his last visual for the "Bound 2" single.

    

Unsurprisingly, his co-star is none other than his "baby mama" Kim Kardashian. The video I'm not a fan of, period. It's one of those visuals where your creativeness has to be in a certain arena to understand. Kanye, you lost me there! Nonetheless, I still love the song!

Kanye also stopped by Philly's hot 107.9 Morning show to chop it up with Shamara and Laiya. The two asked Kanye if he and the President, Barack Obama  will one day sit down and have dinner (basically deading the "beef") Kanye quickly declined! When the two ladies begged Kanye to leave first lady alone, he quickly shot back " Well I think he shouldn't mention my baby mama name"

I love Kimye as an item, I do. What I dislike is the fact that he feels that as a couple, the two of them (pr three even, if you count baby North) are invincible and off limits! I truly believe Kanye is still dealing with the loss of his mother, which doesn't give him a pass for being a dick, but it definitely justifies him acting out. IDK you be the judge!

TLC Sets the Record Straight


After Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story aired on VH1, all hell broke loose because Perri “Pebbles” Reid didn’t think she was portrayed correctly in the film. If you haven’t had a chance to catch the flick yet, Pebbles is responsible for discovering TLC & making them the household name they are today. What the public witnessed was all the fame they attained, but behind the scenes they had absolutely nothing to show for it. The girls were young & naive when they got into the music industry & she took advantage of that. They signed contracts that they weren’t able to thoroughly read & ended up dead broke while Pebbles reaped all the benefits of their hard work. Obviously anyone would consider her a villain after seeing that play out, but of course Pebbles claims that depiction is false.


There has been nonstop controversy since the world got to witness what went down on the movie. In most recent news Pebbles did an interview with Wendy Williams making accusations about Chilli having an affair with her then husband L.A. Reid, that T-Boz & Left Eye were the ones who suggested Chilli be kicked out of the group, & of course more about the movie not displaying the truth about her. The T & C of TLC quickly denied all of her accusations. They even took to Twitter to throw shade at the now Pastor Pebbles saying, “Yall need 2 watch what church y'all walk into cuz I'll tell ya some of these so-called MINISTERS might get struck by lightning at any moment.”


This feud only seems to be getting worse & could go on for a while. Promise to keep you updated on the TLC VS Pebbles drama.

#NewVideoAlert

Watching a Rihanna video is like attending a therapy session. You go through so many different emotions because you never know what to expect! As the intro fades in my eyes are focused on the screen. With "What Now" being one of my Favorite songs from the Unapologetic album, I'm wondering where such a twisted treatment came from!

                                   

Ri's on screen schizophrenic act (to aid in shooting the video) was setup in an abandoned warehouse like setting, shot in classic black and white. Dark makeup, dark hair.  The demented and eerie visual was directed by Jeff Nicholas, Jonathan Craven, and Darren Craig (who also had hands in Disturbia and Russian Roulette)  were definitely on point with the edginess and tricky camera movements.



How perfect would this have been for a Halloween release?! It's definitely giving me a Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity, Exorcist, The Ring kinda feel. I'll admit though, as weird as it is, it's one of those things where you tell yourself "I can't look" but don't take your eyes off the screen for one second. Great job Ri, you've done it again! Anxious to see what Queen Bey is gonna do for this Bow Down Video!
