Who's Hotter (Part 10)

I heard that you can't survive off just talent, I also heard that you cant survive off just looks. I guess since songstress Alicia Keys has both, she has been able to survive in the game. Jumping on the scene in the early 2000's it seems that we haven't stopped talking about her since. Every singe project that she has puts out to date as been a major success and then some.




Keys is a low Key kind of girl whose never shy to display her talent. Never the one to be caught up in controversy A. Keys has displayed class throughout her successful career. Her personal life is still somewhat of a mystery which keeps the public interested. Her musical talent makes her unique but her "rough around the edges" Manhattan girl persona makes her relaetable which is what i think has been the Key to her success.

Musically, maybe even fame wise there is no name bigger or no one badder than Beyonce. Some may say she's over saturated; I just say she's a hard worker. The more she does the more legendary she becomes which also makes her a tougher act to follow. What makes her story so interesting is that she didn't start off this way. We basically watched her come up from a lead singer in a successful girl group to this international superstar.





Beyonce is easy to like and easy to hate. She's either your favorite or you never want to hear her voice or see her face ever again. However you feel about her you have to give respect where respect is due. How many songs or albums did she put out that bricked? How many times did you see a pic of her looking busted or washed up? I could sit here for hours and try to come up with an answer for either question and I bet I wont come up with one.




Winner is


If there is anybody who's gonna give Beyonce competition it's Alica. Cant's be mad at who i choose either way! Who do you choose?

Ayo! Pause (quote of the day)

"I take sacks to the face, whenever I can, don't need no cruch"


Peep the beginning of the second verse where the “PAUSE” quote is said. This line may have gotten by in the 90’s but now a days this line is a definite “PAUSE

Diddy Apologizes...(Kinda)

Remember the whole controversy when Diddy was at Greenhouse and said “If you’re not drinking Ciroc, you’re Drinking pee pee”. Then the owner of Georgi Vodka got offended and filled a toilet bowl full of Ciroc and tried to deliver it it diddy’s office.

Well Diddy finally apologized for the incident…sort of.

Power Moves








Zoe Saldana is making power moves in hollywood right now. Although she's been around for a while staring in movies like "Guess Who", "Vantage Point", "Drumline", and Star Trek". Lately it seems like i see her face or hear her name everywhere i go. First it was a staring role in the huge blockbuster film "Avatar" which went on to become the top earning film in history. Last weekend i got to see her in the comedy "Death at a Funeral" co staring Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. This up coming weekend you can also catch her in the action film "Losers". Finally you can also catch her in the upcoming film "Takers" staring Chris Brown ans T.I. That four big film in about half a year's time.

R.I.P Guru from Gangstarr

On Monday April 19, 2008 Guru, born Keith Elam from rap group Gangstarr lost his battle with cancer. Bofore he passes he weote a letter to his fans that reads...

"I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world," the letter began. "I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options."

"Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody's feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organised, approved by Solar on behalf of myself and my son until he is of age to accept on his own."

"I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. I had nothing to do with him in life for over seven years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ."

Who's Hotter (Part 9)

Pushing 40, "Long hair don't care" actress Nia Long is one of the few who could pull off the short cut or long hair weave and look good either way. She's been on the scene for a minute gaining notoriety with the movie "Friday" and going on to Star in various films such as Soul Food, Love Jones, Boiler Room, Big Momma's House, and Are We There Yet?,


Nia's momentum has slowed down a bit making her most recent appearance in the Chris Rock documentary "Good Hair". Despite her slow pace movie career Nia Long is still a big name and could bounce back anytime she wanted.



Very much slept on actress Sanaa Lathan has been doing her thang on the low. Not quite a house hold name she has done major movies such as Alien VS Predator, Life, and Out of Time. Also staring in hood classics such as Love & Basketball, The Wood, and Brown Sugar.


As once said by rapper Jay-z "in the Maybach Benz, flyer than Sanaa Lathan". you know you bad when Beyonce’s husband takes notice. Sanaa’s pretty face and low key persona would give anyone good enough reason to wife Ms.Lathan.

Winner is...

Like always i could be wrong on this one too idk!
