  • Audio: Curtis Talks Beans/Jay-Z & Album Leak

    Posted by: nahright.com

    [0:55-1:10] I’m pushing the record up, it’ll be out on the 16th. I’m expecting it to do good because of the response I’ve heard on the web.
    [12:10] I feel good that it was leaked in its entirety, in sequence. So people can hear my vision.

    [3:35-4:00] [What’s your take on the Beanie Sigel/Jay-Z?] That whole sh*t is a mess. I understand where his frustration comes from, because there was a point where— He would’ve had a serious check…

    [6:15-7:10] A lot of the times when I say Jay is a cool punk, don’t get it f*cked up, he’s a smart guy. You can’t take away from him what he’s done in the actual business and in the game. But since he lost to Nas, he hasn’t competed… Everytime somebody came, Beans went out in the front with Jadakiss. He had the Cam’ron issues. Then when Cam’ron came back and it was issues again, the Tru-Life deal was signed. And when Tru-Life got into an altercation with him, that one stopped. That’s what stopped the Cam beef.

    [8:05-9:00] [Do you feel like that Beanie Sigel has some legitimate complaints for Jay-Z?] I think he did have legitimate complaints because of my choices. Like— When they tell me you was giving the n*gga $1250? [Silence.] A group? [Silence.] A motherf*cker can’t even afford no p*ssy with $1250. [Laughs.] These n*ggas is staying in nice hotels. If a b*tch order room service twice, you’re done. [Laughs.] You know what it is, it’s traditional business. My business model comes from the curb so I’ma take care of my n*ggas a little different, cuz they my people.

  • Rocsi Comes Clean: Sex Suicide & More!

    Posted by: JustGrinding

    Rocsi gave Honeymag. com the scoop. She comes clean about sex, suicide and more.

    (Via Homeymag.com)

    The tiny BET host doesn’t engage in the whirl of activity surrounding her. As her hair stylist and make-up artist go to work, and the fashion assistants bullet past her for last-minute adjustments, Rocsi Diaz – in a voice barely above a whisper – reminds the room that she has to be out of
    the Brooklyn studio in less than two hours for a meeting. She’s about her business. Her glass of Redbull and vodka remains untouched, still posted up next to a posse of eye shadows, blushes and glosses on the table.

    The 25-year-old doesn’t crack her first smile until the pre-shoot convo shifts to Halloween and costumes – she’ll be Lady Gaga. The TV host is perfectly aware that her demeanor comes off a bit cold. She admits it took her BET producers months to realize that she didn’t hate them; she’s just
    quiet.

    “Rocsi the personality and Rocsi the person are two different people,” she says.

  • The NFL Or Oxford: You Choose!

    Posted by: current.com

    Myron Rolle swapped shoulder pads, hard hits and a professional US football contract for lectures, tutorials and quiet anonymity at Oxford University when he traded a spot in the National Football League draft last year for a Rhodes Scholarship.

    Rolle, 22, was a star defensive player at Florida State University, where he also won acclaim as a pre-medical student for research on stem cells and cancer cells.

    In the safety position, Rolle, who is 6ft 2in and weighs 15 stone 5lbs, specialised in taking players to the ground with punishing tackles at full speed, snagging opponents’ passes out of the air and running them back for touchdowns.

    A top prospect for the NFL, Rolle last year opted to defer entering the league’s amateur draft for a year and study for a master’s degree in medical anthropology at Oxford, all with an eye towards an eventual career in medicine.

  • Maybe You Should Re-Think Sex With An Ex

    Posted by: BlogXilla

    Having sexual relations with someone who you are no longer with, usually sounds like it is not such a good idea. Since that person is indeed in the past, it kind of gives you the sense that you are moving backwards, even if it is just for intercourse. Anyone you have had some kind of history with, complicated or not, will make it almost impossible to not re hatch these feelings during some late night rendezvous. I know I may get a backlash for this, but women, we know that along with sex there are times we also develop an attachment and/or emotion with that person we have chose to bring back in our bedroom. Now add an EX into the equation, and it further complicates things. Which is ironic, because “X” in mathematical terms, means nothing, so when it comes to sex, why does the X mean so much?

  • RIP Mermaid Girl

    Posted by: The Connector

    Yes, it is a sad day. The ten year old little girl, named Shiloh Pepin, known as the mermaid girl has died. The little girl was born with a disease known as mermaid syndrome died on Friday after catching a cold that progressively worsened until she had pneumonia. The girl when she was born was not expected to live more than a few days, but somehow she managed to live on til the age of ten. A story of strength and courage to be sure.

    The little girl won the hearts of many after appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show and having her own documentary on TLC. Shiloh never had the surgery that could separate her legs from each other. Her legs were fused in such a way that major blood vessels would have been damaged and the operation would have caused her death.

    Her mother had the following to say about her daughter Shiloh “She was a tough little thing.” I think that right there is an understatement. Rest in peace, Little Mermaid. \

  • @Feminista09 Bows At The Alter Of @Unclerush

    Posted by: Illmatic

    I wrote this short story in April 2008 while I was living in Miami, finishing FEMINISTA, and then posted it on FB as an album. (Then I deleted all my photos during my FB is Big Brother paranoia.) But I just came across it in my computer and as it’s totally FEM-related and pretty funny, I thought I’d repost!

    Ever since I had to stop pumping out chapters (this is the ‘before’ shot from 2 weeks ago) to format manuscript pages for my editor, I’ve fallen out of my rhythm. Now, for the last 5 days (and in my self-flagellating mind this feel like 5 months), I’ve been wallowing in an abyss of inertia. My editor hadn’t called to discuss the pages so I’m having paranoid fantasies that she thinks they’re crap. All 402 pages.

    Which doesn’t mean the pages actually are crap. Oh no no no no. To my soft bipolar mind (soft means not in danger of being carried out of my house strapped to a gurney Britney-style..or at least let’s HOPE not), this means she doesn’t GET IT. And now I’m going to have to take up the task of making her GET IT. Because this, I learned when re-reading a book last week called “The Hypomanic Edge: The link between little craziness and a lot of success in America”, is what zealots do in the face of skepticism…
