Rest In Peace Jordan Davis

For all of you that don't know, another teenage boy was killed this year. Jordan Davis was shot and killed in Florida for apparently having his music too loud. How many more of our kids will die before we say enough is enough?

Regardless of the argument you formulate to justify the killing of these kids the fact remains...they were kids and unarmed. America *Bernie Mac Voice* lets be realistic...if these kids were not dark in hue would the threat still be apparent? In other words, If Trayvon Martin was white in a hoodie would he still be alive? If Jordan Davis was white blasting music would he still be alive? You can answer those questions for yourself.

Barbie

Barbie,

You made me obsessed with ass shots and long blonde hair.

The smile stuck on your face made me scream with pain.

I was inspired to maintain a plastic expression telling these niggas money or get the fuck on.

I cried every night the lights went out.

Barbie,

You made me want to push a pink Lamborghini with rims fully paid for from a trick.

As I aspired to maintain a plastic lifestyle, my lonely nights filled me with spite as my mascara ran from the tears flooding my eyes, wetting my designer pillow case. I wont be able to get that stain out.

Barbie,

You encouraged me to give up my dream of being an MC with tight flows and tight jeans.

As I aspired to maintain a plastic career I traded in my lyrics for tighter pants, bigger tits and lips that poke out enticing niggas that passed.

Barbie,

As I laid down attempting to chase a synthetic life, my legs shaking and sweating out a perm, my heart felt empty. A familiar void that shot pain up my chest and stopped in my throat.

A lump that couldn’t be swallowed down.

I closed my eyes tight.

He thought he was tearing it up.

Barbie,

You urged me to stalk a plastic goal that I can’t get enough of.

Keeping a Barbie inspired plastic expression, I told him to leave a knot on the dresser for shopping.

More expensive bags to fill in my emptiness like acrylic nails.

He left.

I grabbed my Barbie to keep me company and cried in the shower.

And the Grammy goes to....2 Chainz???

On top of all the other maddness in the media (Zoe Saldana in black face, Jaime Foxx in a blaxplotation movie about slavery, Abraham Lincoln 'caring' about slaves...) our good friend Titty Boi 2 Necklaces was nominated for a fu&^%$# GRAMMY. Yes, a GRAMMY.

2 Chainz was nominated for a Grammy. Best Rap Album. Although he is articulate (surprisingly) this boy is better off physically wrapping CDs (you know with tape, paper and all that jazz) than composing one. For all you 2 chainz fans out there who will argue that he deserves it...exhibit A:

I know, I know "Everybody Can't freestyle! He a better writer!" An argument I hear a lot...well lets look at his written work.

Okay, so even though I like the beat of this song...."She got a big booty so I call her big booty" was Grammy worthy? Really? No, I actually want to know...was it really??

Historically, African Americans have been rewarded more for acting a damn fool and playing into caricatures than for actually displaying talent, emotion and sensibility. It took for Halle Berry, a beautiful talented actress to be a Jezebelle in Monster's Ball to get her Oscar. 2 Chainz had to portray the role of a Coon, interested in nothing more than ass, drugs, alcohol and self-destruction.

What the F#@$ going on??

I'm a hip-hop head. This can't be denied. I loves me some Hip-Hop! As a female I grew up listening to Missy Elliot, Lil' Kim, Eve and Mia X (yeah, I put Mia X on the list! HUUUHH *Master P voice*). Needless to say, I had some black female Hip-Hop artist who were truly talented! Even though most were part of an all male group, they didn't need to be the female counter part because they were bad as a ma fu*c%@ already!

Now, can somebody, anybody please tell me what the f*&^ is wrong with Nicki Minaj?! I started off a Nicki fan because the girl can get lyrical and has talent. Now, I want to vomit in a bag every time I hear 'Barbie' voice (Damn she couldn't even be Kristie, the black Barbie!).

The latest Young Coons- Opps...I mean Money venture is featuring Nicki Minaj in a damn loc wig! As a locked goddess I'm offended!

Dear Nicki,  

WE GET IT...you are the female Weezy. Now, when Lil' Wayne falls off and becomes a lean sipping fool...will you still be the female Weezy? Or will you simply be a Barbie in a dread wig that everyone grew out of? Ms. Minaj, you had talent before you knew Lil' Wayne! You will still have this talent long after you decide you don't want to be the female version of Wayne but the BEST version of Nicki Minaj!

                                  Excuse me while I go vomit in a plastic bag....

So my semester got REAL and I had to take a break from blogging! But I'm back and for the few listeners out there I'm sorry for the hiatus!!! Good news is I'm officially a college grad! Yeah-Yeah (in Ice Cube voice)

For all those struggling to complete school, keep moving forward! Its hard but you'll make it in the end!

Peace, Love and Progress
