As a heterosexual black male, I understand that there are many double standards in America. Let me delve into one of them w/ the help of Tyson Beckford and Rosa Acosta.
Exhibit A: Tyson Beckford
I've known many a womens to go to alter call for "sins of the mind" for this brotha. But I was wrong for trynna get choir members to my crib to watch a DVD.
Now as of late…I have really been working on my fresh…I have been eating grass and veggie patties that really taste like green beans and old jiffy cornbread…And along with drinking tons of water ..Now I have upgraded my work outs to more than just doing push-ups during the commercials on Monday Night Friday …Oh….Oh….AND… Continue reading ‘The Power of the Blouse….Part One’

Today’s post comes from Yung of the Lunchroom Bullies. “Ambiance Music” may be the best way to describe what it is he and his crew create. The beats compliment the flows which compliment the concepts which compliment you. You should definitely check out their music whether on their myspace page or their track at the bottom. But now, it’s time for Yung to inquire of controversy. Here we go…

yo….What up world,
I been pondering on a question lately……..in what situation is it appropriate to call a woman a bitch. Continue reading ‘When Is It Cool to Call a Woman a B****?’
Ok…naw but seriously….Lets just think about it…Bad Breath is a serious matter…It can destroy your character, your body of work and even your self esteem and not to mention the damage it does to the nostrils of those that share the same free air as you…Oh yes, my friends best believe that bad breath transcends through age, race and even financial success…You see..if you were to stroll up on a nigga that was POOR and he had that stank in his grill…well…You would be like….

Stop pointing Oprah. You aint fool nobody. We knew you had on make-up and pink lotion. Besides, we've seen The Color Purple. This is still an upgrade. You still cute to me though.
Scenario 1
It’s bout 12:30 in the morn and you’re chilling at a lounge sipping on something w/ some clear in it. This is your monthly social outing so you’ve been hollarin at the folks you haven’t seen in a second or three and right now you’re by your old homegirl, Hatetrina. Ya’ll are just shooting the breeze when you peep a fine newblood across the room. Petite-thick w/ Shoe Game Proper like…just how you like ‘em. Hatrina sees you peeped the newbie and then in her typical negative, but on point fashion, points out that ole girl’s baby doll dress w/ the large belt is probably hiding a lil pudge and that the acrylic nails she’s rocking are a lil played out.
Wanna get away?
Now sometimes in life ….one needs to stop and smell the roses…Well last week thats kinda what a nigga did..Well really I took a trip down to Atlanta to handle some business with the homie and to get away from my soulmate bc her womb was temporarily closed for a few days..But…But..I learned a few things while in the A and I would love to share em with you… Continue reading ‘It was All Good Just a Week Ago….’
Oprah puts in work and walks around saving kids in South Africa, so aint nobody hating on whatever mutated bunion that that may be. Still if she weren't "The O", no dude would wanna know about that from the first kickin it.
I know that honesty is often hated on, but ladies, let me try to help you understand something from the general male point of view.
When a dude is first meeting and getting to know you, he doesn’t want to know what physical feature(s) of yours may take away from your “fine-ness”.
It’s a crazy week this one ya’ll. Be back at it next Monday.

If this is Trick Daddy, my money is on the other dude looks worse. (Piph comment)
So……let me preface this brief moment of my thought sharing process by saying that I do believe in the freedom of speech, and that as an adult you should be able to speak your mind not hold your tongue if that’s what you choose to do. That being said, I would like to say to all my beautiful (and not so beautiful) people that we should ALL learn when and when not to act a fool Continue reading ‘To Be or Not to Be Ghetto: When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong’
I always thought the shorty of the group was pretty fly. But why does ole boy w/ the "not just an image" dreads have to sit in the back? The brotha looks photoshopped in there.
I have been blessed to travel around and meet a few people whom I have some type of respect for in the industry. Still, I find that one thing is fact: your perception changes when you meet these folks who you’ve previously only experienced through limited media. Either it’s enhanced or diminished, but change gone come. Think somebody’s pretty fly? They’re lame. Don’t care for somebody’s music that much? Find out that they’re cool-folks and suddenly you find yourself listening to music of theirs that you used to change stations on. And every celebrity you see who looks larger than life on stage, in reality could pass for an extra in Willow.
