MELO TELLS THE KNICKS HELLO

Carmelo Anthony joins the Knicks, now the whole world is suddenly a Knicks Fan. Well maybe not the whole world but NYC has never been this gun-ho about the Knicks since the 70's. I guess we will see what happens this season since the Knicks became buzz worthy again last season, but I don't agree with the overnight fans.

THE WEST WINS BUT MR.WEST'S OUTFIT DIDN'T

So we all love Kanye West but his stylist went all wrong with his wardrobe choice for the All Star Game. It was reminiscent of The shiny suit men outfits but this was way worse due to the fact that Kanye's pant were extremely tight to the point of suffocation. As half-time closed and the game presumed the talk of Kanye's pants became an instant Twitter Topic and was all over Facebook. Although it shouldn't matter what a person wears an artist as big as Kanye West who is known for his fashion sense as well as music should have refused to wear those pants. You do have the option of telling your stylist "nay" or "Ye".

Lil Wayne's Vacation to the Island

Okay so after the all the dodging Lil Wayne was finally given the "Go to Jail" Card. After a prolonged sentencing date due to dental work Lil Wayne has finally landed on the Island, and I'm not talking the Bahamas. The NY Times reported that Lil Wayne had more than 100 fans at the Courthouse swarming around his tinted sports car, but what I don't get is if everyone knew he pleaded guilty why were they acting as if this day wasn't going to come. He dodged sentencing twice before the second time for a fire at the courthouse. I witnessed girls on T.V. actually crying about Wayne's 8 months as if they were related to this man. Some of them wouldn't even cry for their own relative like that. I mean the man pleaded guilty he was going to serve time. I don't understand why people would say "Free Lil Wayne" if he plead guilty. The only time people should say " Free anyone" is if they are wrongly accused and convicted, prisoners of war or political prisoners, but you can't say "Free__" to a person who is saying they are guilty of what they are being accused of. I understand people are fans but people go in and out of jail all the time. I don't think young children should be cheering him on, what are you cheering for? If this is the role model for the youth then we are rather lost. Cheering for Rosa Parks or Dr.King Jr being arrested I can see, they were taking a stand for their rights. What stand was Wayne taking? How is Dwayne Carter having an illegal firearm making a difference for the youth? It honestly sends the wrong message of who and what the young people are looking up to! I'm afraid for the generation to come.

KEEP TIGER OUT YOUR MOUTHS

Okay so why has the topic of discussion for the past few days been Tiger's apology press release. I mean we actually sat in a journalism class of mine and discussed Tiger's press release for the entire class. I honestly don't see why people are so shocked to hear the man cheated on his wife in the first place. People have to understand the man is human he's not Jesus Christ. The man is the top paid athlete and has tons of women throwing themselves at him. Did they really think that Tiger was invincible? Sooner or later he would have gotten caught. Even the best of the best get caught. I don't think his affairs take away from him being a good person or a good father. Yes the man may have a Sex addiction problem. But what makes him any different from the Rock Star addicted to drugs. I don't see why he is being held on a pedestal as if he's The Pope. He's a regular man with an extraordinary cash flow. He's not the 1st athlete to cheat and get busted and I'm sure he won't be the last. Even the former president got caught cheating. Seriously people you all are making too much of a big deal over this. Letterman apologized and we moved on. Clinton apologized and we moved on. The fact the man is a cheater has no effect on his ability to play golf. So why are all these sponsorships pulling out. Like he was just making you all billions now that he has a little dirt on his name you want to throw him aside like bad cheese. Shame on the industry. If that's the case then Letterman show would've gotten pulled Governor Spitzer shouldn't be allowed at any political event and Clinton shouldn't even show his face. The man said he's sorry. Who are you all to judge if he's sincere or not this is not the court of law and no one is God. People pointing the finger but he who is without sin cast the first stone. Come on guys give Tiger a break!!! It's Getting old and tired, I'm yawning at the media right now.

ALL-STAR WEEKEND

Many of you were pleased the East won the All-Star Game but was disappointed by the slam dunk contest where Nate Robinson won again. The highlight of the weekend was the MVP trophy being given to Dwayne Wade. In agreeing with Charles Barkley it wasn't the time or place to discuss money issues, but we had to take the bad with the good.

Nicole Richie's engagement ring

Nicole Richie is now engaged to her child's father Joel Madden, The rock is said to be 47 carats. What a nice Valentine's gift.

Shyne signs 7 figure Deal with Def Jam

According to Miss Info & Several other Sources Rapper Shyne has signed a 7 figure deal with Def Jam. I'm glad Shyne took the time necessary to make the decision which would be best for him. It is said that many record labels have been appealing to the Brooklyn rapper since his release from prison. Shyne had been residing in Belize with family since his release. Hopefully he takes his music into his own hands, and we are all ready to hear some good lyrical content from the rapper after 10 long years.

Waka Flocka's Robbers

After being shot at a car wash on January 19 Wacka Flocka was released from the hospital. The sad part of his story has come this week as his robbers posed with pictures of his chain which has surfaced on numerous websites. I honestly don't understand the senseless violence done by the ignorant bunch true he did attempt to grab the firearm, but are they robbers or killers? Judging by the pictures and the fact that they still had the chain in their possession, they did it to earn stripes. The sad part about it is they are grown men. A robbery is one thing attempted murder is another.

Child Support Order on Knowles

Mathew Knowles Father of Beyonce & Solange Knowles, has been ordered by The L.A. courts to pay child support for the mystery child. He must pay $8,200 a month and had to pay about $10,000 in uninsured hospital bills for the birth of the child. Paternity tests will be done on March 1st and based on the results long-term support will be granted. This is very sad for the Knowles family and has led to the divorce of Mathew & Tina, but I am certain the judge will ensure the baby be at least financially support by Mathew Knowles.

New Year. New beginnings

I would like to take the time out to thank everyone 4 taking time 2 visit this site, and It's been a while. But it is a new year. So with that being said, I will have fresh articles, and topics to address. I would like to Thank God for bringing me this far in my writing and pray that he continues to bless me with the gift to write. I appreciate the support. Now lets dive into 2010...

Before I Self Destruct

50's Film "Before I Self Destruct", was better than I expected. After viewing the film at its premiere Thursday, I was pleased to discover the story was one other than the rapper's. I honestly felt the story line was good and the film flowed. It didn't overact or forcibly over dramatize scenes, which I was thankful for. I feel that 50 will definitely gain sales either way, from the DVD and CD. He is good at marketing his product, in this case it being himself. I have only heard about two songs which I would say were typical 50 joints, but consistency is the key to success. So I'm glad he is staying true to himself and being who he is as a rapper and entrepreneur.

You Tube Sensation Priscilla Renae signed

After a year of watching this young girl's renditions of everyone's songs on You Tube, she has been signed. About a year ago at my best friend's house I discovered a girl on You Tube who could sing so well, I was blown away. A young Black girl with amazing talent showcasing her talent on You Tube with over 30,000 channel subscribers and 1.6 million views. Well in the digital age that has gotten her notoriety. Enough to get signed to Power/Capitol records. Her debut E.P. is titled Hello My Apple, and is in stores now, with her 1st single and video Doll House in rotation.

Bed-Stuy Brooklyn Beauty Deemi where are you?

Deemi's strong, pain filled voice flooded the airwaves in 2007, but her album Soundtrack of My Life was never released. This leads me to wonder was Deemi's lyrics to real for the music world. After seeing Amanda Perez fall by the waist side I would think so. Most of the realest singers and song writers don't get the recognition and play they should. Deemi sings about the struggles faced by many inner city females, yet her voice isn't being heard two years later and we weren't even able to cop her first album. I would love to know what's in the works for Deemi, so I will stay abreast this topic. I honestly feel she is an excellent vocalist and has the look to put her to the top. I felt she could have been the next Aaliyah or Alicia Keys. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Fabolous the Most Humble Hottest Rapper

Okay, most people who have been listening to Fab since day 1 would say you can't put a price on his lyrical ability, style, and grace. To be the smoothest rapper out right now, is kind of hard with all the other frauds trying to blind you with gimmicks and flashy jewelry. At a time when he was the only one who rocked two toned jewelry, Fab came out and made a name for himself. Lyrically and flow wise, he was seen as the hot young dude from Brooklyn. Today Fab has proven his consistency, and has remained true to himself. He is still the same dude who came up out of no where in the Summer of 2001. As a Brooklyn rapper where his predecessors are B.I.G and Jay-Z; Fab keeps the streets momentum going. He leaves the listener wanting more, and sets himself apart from the crowd. He doesn't have to rely on anything but his mere ability to spit. Honestly he has been humble from the beginning. He doesn't crave air time, and useless publicity stunts, like all the other rappers struggling to be noticed. And that's what makes him the Hottest. Of course many of you know if I'm not listening to Jay I'm listening to Fab and vice-versa they are my favorites. I don't believe one needs to say they are THE BEST to be the Best. Those who are saying it are usually trying to convince others of what isn't true. Talk is cheap to me, the proof is in the pudding. He was the first individual artist to put out a film, "Loso's Way" with his album. Now artists such as 50 Cent; is following lead releasing a film with his new album. Fabolous has proven himself, and I continue to be a proud supporter. I look forward to interviewing him one day soon.

Our City Is a Mostly Democratic place.

Despite Bloomberg and I sharing the same Electoral district we have nothing in common.

We can be glad that with the exception of Republican Staten Island Borough President James Malinaro, our city is a mostly democratic place. I am not opposed to other parties or candidates, and don't have a vendetta against Bloomberg I just don't feel he deserves another term in office. And the way sports fans are loyal to their teams, ie: The Yankees Parade brought out 2 Million New Yorkers , is the same way I feel people should come out to rep their Political Party. Especially in our city where we get jerked left right and center.

Democrat Bill de Blasio won as our Public advocate,

Democrat John Lui won as our Comptroller,

Democratic Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr.

Democratic Brooklyn D.A. Charles Hynes

OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE BROOKLYN BOROUGH PRESIDENT. Democrat Marty Morkowitz

Queens Borough President Democrat Helen Marshall

Bronx Borough President Democrat Ruben Diaz Jr.

Manhattan Borough President Democrat Scott Stringer

Why Didn't Bill Win?

Many of us came out to vote on Election Day, but what went wrong? It was a tight race, so they say, but I bet Bloomberg's 100 million dollar race is what did it. I believed a change was gon' come, but unfortunately for us New Yorkers we have to live under the reign of Michael Bloomberg for another term. His race was said to be the most expensive race in history with the exception of the Presidential race. All New Yorkers are tired of MTA Fare increases, Traffic toll increases, and that's just our traveling expenses. I really wanted to put William Thompson in office to at least see what he can do. We've been under Republican Mayoral leadership so long I'm beginning to feel like Robinhood this Holiday Season. I want to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Now I can't physically steal from anyone, so I am urging everyone to write a message to the mayor on http://www.nyc.gov/, and list a few things you would like to see change this term, or would like to see addressed. I'm a firm believer that a closed mouth doesn't get fed. We as people always complain to one another but never get at the figureheads in charge. We need to step our game up for this term New Yorkers. Help me take back OUR City.

U.S. WINS NYC ING Marathon

Meb Keflezighi won the NYC Marathon last Sunday shattering the record by an hour and 20 minutes. He set a new record at just 48 minutes and 12 seconds. Nice victory for U.S. and for Meb who has been trying to win the NYC Marathon for almost 10 years

For the women Ethiopian Derartu Tulu won with 2 hours, 28 seconds, and 52 seconds. The 1st Ethiopian women to claim 1st place in the NYC Marathon in its 40 year History. The Empress has taken her throne! All hail the Queen.
