Aubrey O'day - Love?

Long story short: Aubrey O'day, with any more plastic shall look like the long lost Courtney Love before she hits her 32nd birthday. Former Danity Kane member O'Day [or O'Gay, as Perez Hilton calls her] has just about as much plastic in her as the Tonka toy company, and even though her boobs and lips my help her float in a drowning situation, they don't help her float in the celebrity alphabet.... she remains on the Z-List.
Perhaps she's living off her Danity Kane money still (even after all the surgery) plus the change she gets for posing for slut magz across the globe.. but when that runs out it's only right that we will probably see her in her own reality t.v show... Word on the street is that she's already on her quest for the Aubrey Show. I wouldn't be surprised if we see her on "A shot at love with O'Gay" after the sticky Icky Ikki twins are done, of course.

The Icky Ikki Twinz

Even with MTV being the big contradiction it is, "A Double Shot at Love" with the Ikki Twins (Rikki and Vikki) still shocked me out of my skin. I avoid T.V as much as possible to not succumb to the not so real reality shows most dedicate their lives to. So, after a 6 month hiatus of no t.v (besides the news) and seeing this show for the first time a few days ago you can see why I just about had a heart attack. First of all, how does MTV promote awareness, education, and success with artist commentary from Diddy, U2 and P!Nk! (the advocate for strength and knowledge especially among young women) yet have shows such as "A Double Shot at Love" that promotes stupidity among women?

The first show I watched from this series had to be a re-run of course. It involved the dumb girls taking this guy Scotty out on a date for successfully eating his plate of Lamb brains and the heart of some other animal that died for the cause. As I watched, I was waiting to see who the other twin was going on the date with... it never happened. The girls took Scotty on a one on one date with BOTH of them. In all efforts to keep them from the trashy category, I thought "Well, perhaps he's dating Icky Ikki #1 and Icky Ikki #2 is there for support and to make sure Scotty will do right by Icky Ikki#1." As I watched, I thought I was right. Scotty was with the first sister making out and talking in that Oh So cliched romantic setting with the glow we see on every other reality series... then... to my amazement the other Ikki bitch yells "Scotty!! Im bored!" from down below.

I think, "O well.. its not his problem. Shoulda brought you're own date."
Scotty, looking like an excited little puppy, quickly answers Icky Ikki #2 's calls and goes to talk to her. I'm thinking it's time for him to get interrogated about his intentions with her sister. Nope. Wrong again. This broad asks "Do you think you can have romantic feelings for me too?" He says "Well... I really like your sister. And I like you too," and then the make-out session quickly ensued.... and then turned to a dry-hump exhibit.

Blah. I lost my apetite. What really got me, is when the sisters announced they were going to meet the families and asked what each contestant's family would think about their situations. One girl said, "If you were to meet my family, my father will be very dissappointed in the way he raised me."

uhm.. hello? HI FIVE DAD!!! What parent wouldn't?

Because Tila Tequila refused to humiliate herself on yet another season of this show, the Ikki twins's agent got them a takeover spot. It had to make MTV's panties wet that one of their most successful reality shows werent dissappearing with Tila. They struck gold with the unknown dumb blonde's they came across in the anorexic recovery room.

I'm not sure how much closer this show can get to promoting incest. Unlike VH1's "Real Chance of Love", the girls didn't split the contestants, instead they decided to share. How precious. Then, what makes it real odd is how in other dating shows such as this, the one looking for love always says "I need to make sure that he/she is here for me!" These sick chicks say "I need to make sure he/she are here for us!"

... Us? yep... Us.

While doing their life's work by fulfilling every contestants taboo fantasy of being with identical twins, the girls seem oblivious to how dumb and slutty they look on the show. All of the contestants clearly want both of the Ikki's, but they are gonna settle for whichever picks them, then perhaps mess around with other one later. What happens if at the end, one Icky Ikki picks the one the other wants? Or How about if one Icky Ikki doesn't have anyone to pick because they've all been kicked off by her sister? From things I've read on the show, It looks like that is what has been happening.
On a sidenote, I can't believe this is what the youth of the nation has to look up to on the telly. People used to complain about music videos just short of an X-rating being on t.v... but after this stuff I wish those days would come back.

11-yr old Adam missing and unreported

If you had a "problem child" that kept running away, when he ran away the last time at age 11, would you just let it be? Treat it as "The Boy who cried Wolf" and not even bother to report him missing or search for him? Adam Herrman went missing in 1999 and no one in his adoptive family, biological family, neighborhood, or adoption agency bothered to report him missing. The story in full detail can be checked out RIGHT HERE.

I know this post is out of the norm for a blog of this type, nevertheless it has blown my mind. The parents of Adam Herrman let their adopted son "runaway" (so they claim) and didn't bother to report it. They described him as a problem child with a history of runaways (which they claimed to have always reported) and figured that this time he found his older biological sister (who was adopted by another family in Wichita, KA) or went back to his biological parents. My question is, if that is the case or their motive for neglecting the safety of Adam, why did they not contact the biological parents or the biological sister? To this day the Herrmans did not report their son missing. The police, instead, were tipped off by an anonymous source that Adam was missing.

Adam was homeschooled by his adoptive parents, and were reported as being in a ways verbally and emotionally abusive to Adam calling him "Stupid" and other things of the sort. When his biological sister Tiffany Broadfoot attempted to call Adam, the family would get hostile telling her to never call their home and that it wasn't her family and he was none of her concern. Broadfoot mentions that the Herrmans didn't want her contacting Adam and her other sibling's whom they adopted because they weren't aware that the Herrmans' weren't their biological parents.

What I wanna know, is why Broadfoot didn't contact the adoption agency or tell her own family of what was going on. I also want to know why Adam's biological father ( who fought for custody after his kids were taken away due to abuse from the mother) did not attempt to find his son. He claims to have been waiting for his son to reach the age where he was able to search for his biological family. Who does that? Why, if you want to have custody of your kids, would you keep distance instead of keeping tabs on how he was doing with a family not his own?

And what about the adoption agency? Aren't they supposed to keep tabs on orphans they release to make sure they are in a fit and suitable home, healthy and cared for until they are of legal age? Who wasn't doing their job?

And how about the parents : The Herrmans. Tell me again why they didnt work up the effort to at least make sure Adam was well. They instead told everyone who asked of Adam that they returned him back into state custody. No one had reason to question that since the Herrmans turned foster children over to state custody in the past. But why did they do it?

In my opinion, something is up. No one in their right mind would let this go on for 10 years unannounced. I wouldn't be surprised if the Herrmans knew exactly what happened to Adam, who would now be 21 if he is alive. We've seen this before with Jon Bennet Ramsey. It shows that class has nothing to do with stories like this. Ramsey came from a rich home while Adam came from a trailor in Kansas.

What criteria does one have to meet in order to adopt a kid? And, if Adam's runaways were so-called reported each time, why didn't the adoption agency know about it and take him back into state custody? What 11 yr old runs away that often unless they are still suffering abuse in the home? We all know a "problem child" is equal to "problem parents" so to blame something like this solely on the kid just amazes me entirely. Step to the plate and realize how idiotic and unfit you are to even consider having the joy of raising children.

This is a story I am following. It's all just a big mystery.

Janelle the Robot Girl

Janelle Monae has been deemed my look-a-like by my friends. I took this as a horrible bash on my good looks, until I saw how beautiful she was back when she rocked her complete afro here:::

Now though, she changed up her exquisite style for her robot gimmick and looks like a gender confused skinny guy with senior citizen dance moves on stage all the while trying to rock her partial afro on this picture right here. So you can see why my feelings were hurt.

Nevertheless, the woman is talented and no one can hate on that. She is nominated for a grammy, and with her signature on Diddy's label, she has decided to discontinue releasing her "Suite" legacy in order to release her first full length album in the first quarter of 2009. She may be one of the artists that keep's diddy's label afloat because who knows whats going on with Danity Kane and Day26 anymore... and I can't think of anyone else signed with Diddy at the moment. Anywho, I'm anticipating what she will come with next on her album. She makes music for any person in any mood so I hope the next set of songs aren't a compilation of things she already did. I hope it's completely original and not anything that has been leaked because I probably already have those tracks. She has been called the female version of Andre 3000, which I have to disagree with along with her being deemed being a futuristic singer. Her music to me sounds like really old school blues one would hear while living 40's or 50's or along with Louis Armstrong's relaxing Kermit the Frog voice. Monae has strong vocals that soothes you're soul yet puts you in a happy and lighthearted mood. She has been making music for years and had been featured on many tracks by Big Boi of Outkast. One of my favorite tracks from her is "Not Fair" and "Peachtree Blues". Her 7 track set on Metropolis: The Chase Suite was a complete tease to fans of hers. Finally though her full length album shall drop and I am hoping it will be more than a lonely set of 10 songs most artists give after fans wait for what seems like centuries *CoughSantogoldCough.* Monae's music is for everyone's liking no matter the age or genre of music you may listen to.

The End of Lupe Fiasco

How much of us are completely shattered by the end of Lupe Fiasco. I consider him a contribution of real hip hop that happened to make it a little into the mainstream market. Although he's very technical and surgical about his rhymes and words he still is on the exquisite side of the spectrum. He's leaving so early in the game, and fans can only hope that this is just another artist saying they are leaving just to come out with more stuff later on. I actually hope he switches his game up and goes underground instead of stopping completely. He's better than that. He has decided to leave with a bang and is recording his 3 disc set of album which will release one after the other instead of all at once. The first of LupE.N.D entitled "Everywhere" is set to release Fall 2009. The other two parts "Nowhere" and "Down Here" have no release dates but I have a feeling they will release a year apart... perhaps I'm just hoping he drags the end of his career to a slow halt.


It may be wishful thinking, but I don't think he'll leave the game completely. Hopefully he got tired of the "hollywood" ness of it and will retreat underground like the rest of Hip Hop. I'm not sure, I just know I'll be bumpin his records whether he gone or not. That's mah homie.

Wale

I was slow on my game, and got tipped off on this dude a couple months ago. He's dope of course and Mostly unknown for now. He's signed with one of the dopest producers ( Mark Ronson) on Allido Records which automatically makes him the business all over the globe... plus he has a picture with the truest mack daddy Wall-E--->.

The first I heard of Wale [wah-lay] was on his Nike Boots track he had with the King of airwaves [Lil Wayne] and then I moved on to his
"Mixtape About Nothing" joint with his Pimpin ass Seinfeld theme to it. Who woulda thought? You can download that for free HEEERRRE!!! (yes click here)...Usually I skip over the skits people have on their records but Wale pretty much left me in stitches with his Track 14 skit called Untz Untz. Talkin with "Cliche Records" trying who is trying to get him to do a song called "Crank dat Flyin Squirrel" so a whole bunch of teenage white kids could buy the records. Complete genius.
And just because im the coolest person ever I guess I'll let another free one go Right Here !!! (click here again.)
I can't wait for his big debut. From what I've noticed (maybe due to his work with Ronson) he's more known over in Europe than in the U.S which is pretty lame since he is from Washington D.C. And why his own city hates him... we'll never know.

Jay-Z 's news Collab

It's 2009 and music lovers are all hoping it's a better year; Especially for hip hop. So Far, most of us are looking forward to the new Eminem fresh out of rehab album appropriately titled "Relapse", Travis McCoys debut solo, and in R&B we are looking for the new Usher album. What is even more exciting is to see how many rappers are gonna say they are retired and then come back in the next split second. Jay-Z, of course, is not all the way retired like he said he was every year and I'm loving it; Especially with the talk of his newest project with the N-Word advocate himself : Nas.
Yes, Jay-Z has plans to team up with Nas to release a collaborative album from his new and unconfirmed label outside of Rocafella. Some are saying they are going to bring Hip Hop back with this album, but in all actuality how many times do we hear of this awaited resurrection? Nas and Jay-Z have been making music all along, yet Hip Hop is still "dead" so who's to say its going to "come back to life" with a collabo? The team up is gauranteed to be dope, of course, but to bring Hip Hop back, the people have to want it. Push aside the wack Flo Rida's, Soulja Boys, Plies, and Baby Bash's and accept the art for what it really is. Every genre of music is blurring nowadays though, and in my opinion Hip Hop is outliving true R&B which is becoming more "poppy" by the second. This collab can indeed strengthen and inspire Hip Hop artists if it is done right, which I have no doubt about. After all, both Nas and Jay-Z are becoming, if not already, legends of the Hip Hop world.
