Drake sat down with MTV to discuss his label mate’s most recent beef with Lil Kim and had the nerve to express disappointment in her actions.

After acknowledging Kim is a “G” in the game, he goes on to basically call her weak, insinuating she’s ‘losing it,’ among other things.

He may think he’s the voice of reason, as will his adoring fans across the US and his native Canada, but we don’t buy that bullshit.

Here’s a dude that walked into a ready made situation, admonishing a LEGEND in the game and then suggesting she’s insecure?

Are you serious dude? Have you looked at Nicki Minaj lately and cross checked her photo galleries with the Notorious K.I.M.’s? (continue reading…)

Reality Bites
Words: N. Ali Early

By virtue of the success of “Flavor of Love,” it’s spinoffs and any 30-minute reality based program where its contestants aren’t required to eat cow nuts, most of us are well aware that reality television isn’t really real. The oddity in watching these modern day soap operas, is just how much the common viewer (us included) is compelled to believe the crap he/she sees on a weekly basis.

We then comment on our facebook pages about it, follow them on Twitter and become fans of characters that would otherwise be no different than the person standing in front of us in the line at the grocery store.

Bottom line: “Reality TV” is simply entertaining.

For that, we have to give producers like Chris Abrego major P’s and in the same breath, understand that as long as some award winning writer/producer is attached to the credits, your favorite reality show is more phony than pha-real.

All that said, we felt an onus to examine a few shows that seem to have piqued the public’s interest. Among them, “Basketball Wives,” “What Chilli Wants” and “The Business of Family,” each show very obvious signs of being scripted and we’re the ones to sound off about it! (continue reading…)

First the MJ debacle, now this…

It’s become somewhat of a running joke and we are left to assume BET is honoring Justin Bieber with a nomination to this year’s award show as a favor to Usher Raymond, but come on y’all. For real?

Justin Bieber? The whitest white kid in America gets nominated (and probably has a ridiculous chance of winning) for a Black Entertainment Television award? Like that?

Are we stupid? I mean… we understand you’ll accept him over Ciara today, but his skin complexion isn’t going to change anytime soon. No matter how many jam sessions he participates in with Ush & friends, he’s going to be favored by popular culture more so than any true Rhythm & Blues act in the industry – including his mentor.

I just don’t get it.

Call me a hater all you want, but when you don’t win it all there’s no way in hell you should reap the rewards that winners do.

Charles Barkley didn’t and in my opinion, if he wasn’t the best power forward to ever play the game (undersized at that), was, and is on par, with any PF that’s ever played the game. That includes Tim Duncan, who I’ve gone on record as labeling a “reluctant center” (whole different post) and anyone else you wanna throw in the discussion. His analysis sucks at times, but he was something serious on the court… and if he had the means or ability to win a dunk contest, would have participated (that’s another post too).

Everyone (but me? LOL!) seems to want to give Lebron the league and with good reason. That’s the perplexing thing about him. He’s a very capable player. (continue reading…)

Say it ain’t so LT. A 16-year-old? For real? Oh, wait, she didn’t look like she was sixteen… Riiiight. That falls into the same equation as, “She didn’t look like she had A.I.D.S.”

I get it. You don’t want to admit to soliciting sex with a minor. Or better yet, you don’t want to admit to soliciting sex at all. You have a wife. It’s understandable. You’re an all-time great. First ballot Hall of Famer… I get it. The world gets it.

And maybe she really did look… 18? 19? or even 22? With the hormones they’re putting in food these days, there’s no telling what her physical proportions suggested.

The point is, you should know better. You shouldn’t have been put in such a precarious position in the first place. You’re football royalty for Phill Simms’ sakes!! (continue reading…)
