MTV's Show Logo

Flipping through the channels today made me realize that there are no longer any good music shows left on television.  I’m talking about the ones that focused exclusively on music, especially hip hop.  Take it back to the 90’s and you have YO! MTV Raps which to me is a great show.  Ed Lover and Dr. Dre served as great host and daily appearances by artists made it one of my staple shows everyday after-school.   Sadly enough this was replaced by “Total Request Live,” which to me is garbage. But I can’t be mad at MTV, times have changed, and they are a business when it comes down to it.

BET's Show Logo

On the other side you have BET’s Rap City, which was a more updated version of YO! MTV Raps.  This show did a good job of bringing the current hip hop.  Yet sadly enough, this show didn’t last either.  Tigga made a pretty decent host.  The show also succumbed to the times and was replaced by “106 & Park,” which to me is just another copy cat of MTV’s “TRL.” However I’ll take 106 & Park over TRL any day!

When rap exploded creatively and commercially in the late 1980s, Ice Cube was at the forefront of the expansion. As the lyrical brains behind N.W.A, the Los Angeles-based rapper instantly became a major player in the music game by leading a musical revolution with brutal, profane, politically-infused music that, for the first time in the genres history, sold millions of albums with N.W.As Straight Outta Compton. As a solo artist, Ice Cube became raps premier act with the release of the searing masterpieces AmeriKKKas Most Wanted and Death Certificate.

Now, after becoming Hollywoods most bankable actor thanks to his Barbershop and Friday franchises, Ice Cube returns to his first artistic love, rapping. Laugh Now, Cry Later, the multi-platinum, award-winning music icons first solo album in six years, simmers with celebration, as well as the rage, reflection and introspection that are the hallmarks of timeless music. I feel Laugh Now, Cry Later is the state of the world, of America, of urban America, of hip-hop, Ice Cube explains of his seventh solo album. It seems like everybody is playing and nobody’s worried about anything.

On the explosive Scott Storch (50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Beyonce) produced Why We Thugs, Ice Cube blasts an oppressive system that cripples Americas ghettos and fosters the perpetual ruin of such areas as South Central, Compton and Long Beach, Los Angeles metropolitan areas that have been war zones for decades.

Now, with the impending release of Laugh Now, Cry Later, his first solo album released on his own Lench Mob Records, Ice Cube is on top of his creative game and relishing in his ability to make his latest album at his own pace and on his own terms.

I’m putting my money where my mouth is because theres nothing a major label can do for me that I cant do for myself, he says. Not being signed to a particular label, putting it out myself, not having to worry about what a company or anyone else has to think about the record, being able to just go in and do it how I feel it with no timelines or deadlines, it made me comfortable. I was able to recommitment myself to rhyming and rapping. That all molded the way that this record sounds, which is important because I want my records to last the rest of the year when they come out.

Truth be told, Laugh Now, Cry Later will last well into the next decade.

Tavis Smiley Stiffed T.S.U.

Famous broadcaster Tavis Smiley has stiffed Texas Southern University because Smiley has not fulfilled a $1 million donation he had committed to give the school, the Houston Chronicle reported Friday.

Texas Southern University had, in honor of the donation, dedicated and named the Tavis Smiley School of Communication, at the university, in his honor. Smiley promised in 2004 to donate $1 million and to raise another $1 million for TSU.

To date, he has donated $50,000 while raising an additional $250,000, which was donated  from three corporate donors.

Smiley had promised Friday, October 23rd, to live up to his original personal commitment of one million dollars, but the payment terms would be twice as long for him to complete, which was radically different from his original commitment.

Smiley agreed in 2004 to give TSU $200,000 a year for five years and to help raise another $1 million.

He said he stopped the payments out of concern about mismanagement under former University President Priscilla Slade, who, along with her colleague Quentin Wiggins were brought up on charges of misappropriation of university funds. Quentin Wiggins was convicted and sentenced to ten-years in prison.  Slade’s first trial resulted in a hung jury, and she faced retrial in 2008.

My inside sources at the campus report that Slade received a plea bargain that gives her 10 years in probation,and is bared from holding a similar position for the length of her probation.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools placed TSU on probation for noncompliance with regulations on financial management and administration. The university’s probation was lifted in June 2009.

His business manager, Kenneth Goldman, wrote that Smiley wanted to pay $50,000 by the end of 2009 and $100,000 a year for the next nine years.

These terms were radically different from the agreed upon terms, that Smiley had committed to meet.

He also would no longer  try to raise money from outside corporate donors, further poisoning the deal.

TSU’s well-publicized problems made it impossible to raise money from corporate donors, Smiley said Friday. “And obviously, like most Americans, my personal income has been impacted by this recession.”

Still, he said, he intended to honor his commitment, even if it would take a decade to do so. Now, he said he will donate that money elsewhere.

That was the last straw for the administration of T.S.U. and the fired off a statement to Smiley saying…”Because you did not fulfill your original commitment to our partnership, TSU plans to treat the partnership as being at an end,” Rudley was quoted as saying in a Sept. 28 letter to Smiley… “

TSU’s school of communication recently announced that entertainment executive Matthew Knowles, CEO of Music World Entertainment and father of singers Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, began teaching in its entertainment and the recording industry program this fall, at the former Tavis Smiley School of Broadcasting and Entertainment.

Smiley, known for his Black Entertainment Television and radio work, maintains TSU officials named the school after him before he even agreed to donate the $1 million.

“I even made a joke, how much is this decision going to cost me?” Smiley said of a conversation he had with former TSU President Slade. “She said, ‘This decision has already been made.’”

One of America’s most celebrated and respected media personalities, Smiley hosts a half-hour nightly talk show on PBS, “Tavis Smiley,” which reaches 92 percent of America’s households and is seen in 187 countries. His annual symposium, “State of the Black Union,” featuring America’s premier thought leaders, engages thousands of attendees and over 100 million viewers worldwide.

That’s all good, but, be that as it may, the administrators at T.S.U. are certain that his bark is worst than his bite, and that, given the main tool of a broadcaster is his mouth, Tavis may have a big mouth full of big talk and promises, but in the end, he had a pretty small wallet, to be playing at this level of philanthropy.

I can only look at this from a business stand point, and he basically reneged on a promise.

Tavis Smiley has stiffed Texas Southern University, so he gets his name stripped from the building, and will be banished from the campus, in a very public and embarrassing way.

Let’s hope that they can get back on track down at TSU, a school I hold in very high esteem.

The whole cast of former CW sitcom The Game were spotted on a first class flight to Atlanta to begin taping new episodes of the popular sitcom and word is… The cast is not to happy about that.

With the filming moving to Atlanta, one of the main worries is that BET won’t be able to afford the show’s extensive budget. This is probably where that Viacom money is going to kick in. Article Courtesy of Bossips

Well I can say all the petitioning has help… thanks again you guys I just hope they stick to the story line and not make it trashy.

AJ Had Sickle Cel Disease

TMZ.com is reporting that Sickle Cell Anemia may have played a significant role in the death of Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, the ex-fiancé of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burress.

       Fulton County Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Kelly Rose tells TMZ preliminary autopsy results led her to believe that A.J., who died two weeks ago after a strip club brawl, suffered from the life long blood disorder that inhibits oxygen flow to tissues in the body. 

       Police say Ashley ”was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head,”  Police Lt. Keith Meadows told the Atlanta TV station WBSTV. Immediately following the fight, Ashley was taking to a hospital where he later died.

Sickle cell anemia is a disease passed down through families in which red blood cells form an abnormal crescent shape. (Red blood cells are normally shaped like a disc.).  Sickle-cell disease may lead to various acute and chronic complications, several of which are potentially lethal.

Atlanta native and singing superstar T-Boz of TLC, famously also suffers from sickle cel anemia, which has affected her career for years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle-cell_disease

Burress is still morning AJ’s death, but according to Bravo – it will not interfere with the taping or airing of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta ” reunion special scheduled to air in two parts starting at the end of October.

Andy Rooney said on ‘60 Minutes’ a few weeks back:

I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens…Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING, MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right ‘NOT’ to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can’t understand the word ‘freeze’ or ’stop’ in English, see the above lines.

I don’t think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don’t hate the rich; I don’t pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn’t stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more.. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that’s better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say ‘NO!’

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of ‘Political Correctness.’ I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be ‘African-Americans’? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don’t go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe.. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don’t like my point of view, tough …

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don’t.  It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having ‘In God We Trust’ on our money and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance..  Why don’t we just tell the 14% to  BE QUIET!!! If you agree, pass this on, if not delete.

Right on, Andy Rooney!

Month In ReviewCheck It Out

Monica at the BET Hip-Hop Awards

This fall and winter seasons will be the platform for over-the-knee boots. It seems that these boots are no longer for hookers, but are for the fashionista. Celebs are embracing this boot trend and I must say that I’m diggin’ them too! These boots can be easily paired with some skinny jeans, leggings, short skirts, and even shorts. Be careful not to overdo the outfit though. The over-the-knee boot is always going to be the main attraction!

Bob Johnson, Founder and Chairman of The RLJ Companies, today announced the launch of www.ClubCharity.com, the premier online charity auction site destined to fast become the online resource for corporate and celebrity charitable giving.

ClubCharity.com, which was created in affiliation with CharityBids, an online auction site renowned for its global non-profit fund raising and expertise, is an opportunity to use the technology of the Internet to create a venue for those of us who are more fortunate to help those less fortunate. The idea behind ClubCharity is to create a unique online philanthropic website where celebrities and other charity-minded individuals or corporations can give back and help those in need. All proceeds collected through the online auction site will be donated to worthwhile causes.

“As founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) and now chairman of The RLJ Companies, I have had a wonderful experience over the years working with corporations as well as celebrities to support many charitable endeavors,” said Johnson. “Ideally, my vision for ClubCharity is to be a major part of charitable giving. We have garnered the participation and generous support of many well known celebrities and sports figures, who have donated personalized items or experiences so their fans can bid on and enjoy all while helping support the charity of the celebrity’s choice,” he concluded.

On the corporate giving side, the charitable website will ultimately create value for consumers and companies that are making their products and services available. In an effort to brand corporate identities, companies regularly donate items representative of their brand or the products they manufacture, often times in lieu of cash donations. Such branded products will also be available to bidders through the site, with proceeds benefiting the designated foundation or charity selected by the company.

Johnson himself has donated for auction a stay at his private villa located off the coast of Anguilla. Celebrity items that were donated to the site include:

* BET, tickets to the 2010 BET Awards Show
* Beyoncé, tickets to her “Sasha Fierce” concert in London
* Michael Jordan, personalized Chicago Bulls #23 Jersey; authentic autographed NBA basketball; custom made commemorative leather jacket for his 2009 Hall of Fame induction; and a personalized copy of Michael Jordan’s book, Driven From Within
* Tiger Woods, personally signed pin flag from his momentous win at the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines
* Emmitt Smith, autographed Reebok Dallas Cowboys #22 Jersey; authentic autographed NFL football; autographed Riddell Dallas Cowboys Helmet
* Roger Federer, match-worn shirt from the 2009 ATP World Tour Masters 1000
* Boxer Mike Spinks Jinx, autographed boxing gloves
* Denzel Washington, an autographed copy of his book A Hand to Guide Me
* Morgan Freeman, two tickets to the Los Angeles premiere of his new film “Invictus” and a personal meet and greet with the actor

* James Ingram, a music experience
* Joe Frazier, autographed boxing gloves

Clark and Love from this blog here are perfect examples of what’s to come in the near future. People are getting more and more stupid whether its online or off. Its beginning to look like a trend or a fad that will never be out of style; like a pair of all white Nike Air-force Ones.

I was watching a full Episode of Steve Wilkos on Youtube and it was about this 34 year old man dating two minors and getting one pregnant, it was called ‘I have sex with teenage girls’. The man that these kids were in love with and wanted to be with was a total idiot. I can’t call the kids idiots because being a kid is enough of a reason. He had the mentality of a 17 year old naive boy that sits in front of a television and idolizes his “role-models” on BET. Speech impediment or not, he was in his right mind and he knew what he was saying. Well, here’s a part of the episode I was watching:

It was so hard to stop watching because his idiocy and naivety was amazing. His voice began to piss me off the moment he came out on stage. I just sat there and thought who the hell gave birth to this idiot and what do they look like? Then I looked at the girls that was so in love with this clown and was wondering what the hell did they see in him? This man is 34 years old and he’s messing with minors so its obvious everything isn’t all there. What a shame; and it saddens me that there are more like him walking this planet like being an idiot is what’s in this season. Anyway this isn’t just about his old ass chasing young tail, this is about the level of idiocy I’ve ran across in the past week. I’m completely baffled that there are so many people out there who enjoy being stupid. Can they be that naive that they cannot see that they’re stupid?

Well look at this:

Someone of a different race had called someone black a nigger and here come this idiot correcting him like it’ll make that much of a difference. Nigger and Nigga are the same thing in my book, no matter who remixes it to make it sound that much less of a slur. What baffles me is the fact that someone actually sat down and thought, “hey I can make something good out of the word nigger, lets just replace the ‘e’ and the ‘r’ with an ‘a’”. Well whoever decided that it was “good” to remix a racial slur to benefit them are idiots. Why would anyone want to be a figment of a racial slur or want to use that word in their own way? What good has came out of both the words nigger and nigga? Absolutely nothing that’s what! I’ll never understand the logic behind the idiot who thought nigga was better than nigger.

BET recently announced its nominees for its Hip-Hop Awards. Of course all of the usual suspects appeared multiple times, including Kanye West, Eminem, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.

Newcomer Drake scored three nods: MVP of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and Rookie of the Year. How did a relative unknown from Canada become one of the most in-demand names in the rap industry?

Well, after a series of mixtapes and being featured on the network’s 106 & Park, Drake was romantically linked to Rihanna, though their “relationship” seems to have been nothing more than a rumor. He affiliated himself with Lil Wayne’s clique, Young Money, and embarked on a tour, despite hurting his knee. He even appeared on 2009’s BET Awards and had a single climb all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (“Best I Ever Had”).

Not bad feats for the soon-to-be 23-year-old and worthy ammo for a Rookie of the Year nomination. But will he win when the awards are broadcast on October 27? 72% of voting Predicto Mobile players say yes!

Parting isn’t always sweet sorrow. In journalism, in particular, it can be a very acrimonious affair. I’ve been let go from several jobs and quit one, and each and every one of those times I had strong feelings towards my ex-employers. Whether it was a difference in editorial focus, whether we liked one another or office politics, the result was always that there was always a lot to say. In some instances, I have turned to the great platform that is the Internet to speak my mind. It was both a great and a horrible idea, since I’ve discovered that bloggers – in particular, idiots who blog – manage to twist your words, misrepresent facts and sensationzalize.

Still, there’s nothing like speaking your mind. That’s exactly what Andreas Hale, an esteemed hip-hop journalist who worked as assistant editor at HipHopSite.com, contributed to The Source and helped propel HipHopDX.com to top of sites of its kind as editor in chief, did today. His most recent position was as executive editor, music, at BET.com, a kushy position in New York City that reportedly paid more than $100,000 annually. Andreas is not just no longer at BET.com, but he also has some sharp words for his former employers. Below is the letter he wrote in full:

For over three months, the heads of programming at BET have been trying to extend the life span of “The Game.” Once it was clear that The CW Television Network was not going to renew the series, supporters of the show lobbied for BET to pick up the show.

BET has been criticized for years because of their programming. It seemed that they had finally turned the corner with their sitcom, “Somebodies,” but it was quietly cancelled by the network. Going after “The Game” is the network’s only chance at redemption.

The only thing standing between “The Game”s fourth season is a deal that BET can afford. They have been trying to reduce the price of the show’s episodes, but in this economic state, that would be fairly difficult for the network to accomplish.

BET is definitely interested in picking up “The Game,” CBS Paramount TV is the hold up.

Lil Wayne, the platinum-selling rapper, confirmed Tuesday that actress Lauren London is pregnant with his child, according to MTV.com.

The rapper confirmed the pregnancy during a radio interview in Los Angeles. “Lauren London, she fine,” Los Angeles Power 106 jock Fuzzy said to Wayne. “She [is] very pregnant with your baby.”

“Very pregnant, yes,” responded Wayne. Fuzzy then offered congratulations to the Cash Money star, and he gladly accepted.

Lil Wayne and London, who co-starred with T.I. in “ATL”, had been spotted together publicly over the past couple of months, but it was never confirmed if the two were dating or just friends.

This will be the third child for Lil Wayne. He has a daughter, Reginae, with former wife Antonia “Toya” Carter, who stars in BET’s “Tiny & Toya Show” with T.I.’s girlfriend Tiny.

Last year, Wayne announced the birth of his first son during the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards. The mother of Dwayne Michael Carter III was not identified, but gossip blogs found pictures of the woman, who is a college student in Cincinnati.

This will be London’s first child. The actress’ credits include “ATL,” “Entourage” and “I Love You, Beth Cooper” with Hayden Panettiere. The due date and sex of the baby are unknown at this time.
