NOTORIOUS

2009-01-18T09:07:00.001-08:00

It’s been a long time, since I left you, without a dope blog to step to!

Let’s Go!!

First things first, I poppa…. You know the rest.

It’s only right I come back with the hot item at the moment, NOTORIOUS!! *sings theme music and does puffy dance*.

Ill just give my 2 cents plus 2 more about the flick. Good and bad. Overall, I enjoyed the film. I’ve seen it twice in 2 days and I can’t wait for the DVD release to see all the special features and eh ruh. I’m sure most of you have seen it already but if not I suggest you read this blog some other day.

Also, the following link is an interview on allhiphop.com with Dream Hampton, hip hop historian, who was a great friend of Biggie.
http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2009/01/16/20797173.aspx

-Jamal Woolard did an excellent job playing B.I.G. I was a bit skeptical, but he put it down. From the husky breathing, tied tongue, laugh and mannerisms Jamal was a G and ½. Congrats to him and I hope he is able to receive casting calls after this movie.

-Christopher Wallace Jr., who is the son of B.I.G. and Faith, played the young Biggie and was soooooo adorable!

-I hate the fact that Marc Jeffries, child actor, played an adult Lil Cease. He was Isaiah in “Losing Isaiah”. WTF??? Apart of me thought it was funny but another part of me kept thinking “this don’t make no sense!”.

-Angela Bassett needed to decide before production if she was gonna use the Jamaican accent throughout the entire movie or not. Sometimes she was sounding like Voletta Wallace, while other times I heard Stella or her character as Trey’s Mama in Boyz N Da Hood. Smh.

-I don’t know why Lil Kim is tripping but Naturi Naughton of 3LW fame put it down in a major way!!! The rumors suggest that Lil Kim was mad at the selection of Naturi due to her being a few hues darker than Kim. This is true, however everything else was on point! Her rendition of Kim’s verse on “Get Money” made me wish Kim had a show coming up!! Oh the memories. Maybe Lil Kim would be satisfied if Naturi had a few plastic surgery procedures before production began…. Smh

-Anthony Mackie. Umph. That man that man. *Thanks his parents for making him*. He could’ve worked on his 2-Pac voice and accent a littlllee better. His accent (couldn’t quite tell where it was from) was a distraction at some times.

-Myself and everyone else in the theatre COULD NOT stop laughing at Derek Luke’s impression Puff Daddy (Youngins, Puff Daddy is P.Diddy pre 1998). I’m sure he had a choreographer because his mannerisms and dancing mirrored Puff’s exactly!!! But did he really have that big ole coat on with the fur on the hood at work, INSIDE?? Take that take that…

-Ummm.. Ok… So why did Suge have a Hummer that came out circa 2007 in 1996?? And B.I.G. had the 2 Jesus pieces that became popular years after he died. They needed me as a consultant.

-The Suge character at the 1995 Source Awards had everybody dying laughing too!! “All up in the videos. All up on the record…..” LOL

-I was waiting for Jay-Z to show up. And Charlie Baltimore. She was in the car during the accident scene but nobody identified who she was in the movie and she had no speaking part.

-How many of you find yourselves bumping B.I.G, Junior Mafia, Craig Mack, Lil Kim, and Faith Evans all this weekend?

"Make It Hot" by Nicole Wray featuring Missy Elliot and Mocha

Ok, so yesterday I made a post about Jasmine Sullivan and thought it was only fitting to make a throwback ish blog about another Missy protege, Nicole Wray. Don't understand why she didn't blow up! She can sing, she's beautiful, had a bomb weave, and her project was surrounded by some of the most influential and talented peeps in the music biz (just peep the cameos in the video, RIP Aaliyah and Static Major). Nicole Wray COME BACK OUT PLEASE!!!

Nicole fans, here is another one for the road! Bomb harmonies by her and Playa.
"Eyes Better Not Wonder"

My favorite line, "lemme holla at cha later/I refuse to be a hater". Don't know why but it gives me the giggles :-)

Hot ish!

2008-07-26T08:07:00.000-07:00

Don't sleep on Miss Jazmine Sullivan! Can't wait for the disc! I'mma be mad if this chick can't outsale Cassie, Ashanti, and any other chicks who can't sing.

lol @ Missy's drunk-auntie-two-step. Say Ohohhhhhh!

Step Your Job Game Up!!!

2008-06-22T09:10:00.000-07:00

Like pops from Friday said, “the word for today is job, son. J.O.B.” So like Craig you got fired on your day off for stealing boxes and now you need to hit the ground running searching for jobs. Here are a few tips.

Looking For A Job 101
When on a job hunt, make sure you make a few adjustments to your lifestyle.
*Take off your ringback and crazy voicemail. Keep it simple and traditional. Some employers will not even leave a message if the ringback is inappropriate. Or they’ll view it as a useless expense. You’re looking for a job, but you’re paying for a ringback that just came out last week?? Not a good look.
*Like Juvenile said, “Keep ya Body Clean, ha”. Most jobs drug test. Break the habbit!! Also, when speaking to an employer, before hanging up the phone, don’t let your final question be, “Does your company drug test”? You may not get a call for interview after that response.
*No vocal mean muggin’. If you are job seeking and see an unrecognizable number on you caller ID, it is probably an employer. Try to answer in a pleasant tone. When the employer asks, “Is Mr./Ms. Job Hunter in?’, please don’t respond, “yeah, who dis?” You just may receive a dial tone and no job.
Resume
So you don’t like to brag? So you don’t want to seem like you are better than others? When it comes to your resume, forget about the two statements listed above. Your resume is your time to shine, brag, gloat AND be truthful. Don’t go making stuff up because some companies do use a thorough background check. Wouldn’t want to get busted out after you’ve received the job. Not sexy.

*You always need a resume. Even if you are a student who has never worked, you still need a resume. Don’t walk into an institution “looking for a job” but when you are asked for you resume you can’t present one. Not a good look.
*Make sure you do not have any typos
*If room allows, create a section for awards and achievements
*To increase space, don’t list your address. Phone number and email address is all that is needed, and you can type that on one line below your name.
*Okay, sometimes we don’t write our own resumes. If this is the case, make sure YOU are able to articulate what is on that paper in an interview
*Print it out on resume paper

References
Your references solidify you. It is the icing on the cake. If asked for personal references, I recommend listing business references. The reason for this is because they will more than likely give the employer an idea what you are like as an employee or co-worker as opposed to a homeboy, daughter, or son. Some personal references may leave a bad impression. Does an employer really want to get information from someone with a “Put It In Your Mouth” ringback? Not a good look.

*Make sure your references know that you are using them as such
*Make sure it is someone who can say nothing but good things about you! This is why you never talk bad about a company once you leave. Always leave on good terms.
*Triple check the phone numbers before listed. Sometimes if they are old, they are probably disconnected. Employers do not want to play inspector gadget.
*When the phone number of your former employer is requested, don’t list the cell phone number of your favorite manager. An employer does not want to believe they are calling a business and someone answers, “hello”. Employers do not want to have a wild goose chase searching your employment history. Just give them the corporate number. Most companies use 3rd party vendors that only verify the dates employed and title anyway.

Interview
*Arrive 15 minutes early
*Dress professionally. No jeans, no sneakers, no hats, no complete bottles of cologne or perfume on your body, and no sandals, no gum, no visible tattoos. Make sure your clothes are clean and IRONED! Don’t wear anything you would wear to the gym, or the beach.
*Tell your ride to stay in the car
*Bring more than one resume, even if you have already submitted it previously in the application online. Sometimes, more than one person will facilitate the interview.
*If the interviewer is not ready and you are in the lobby, LEAVE YOUR CELL PHONE ALONE! Or better yet, JUST LEAVE YOUR PHONE IN THE CAR. There should be no need to text or talk during an interview, all your references should be listed on some material in your nice binder. There is nothing worse than an interviewer coming to shake your hand and you are on the phone. Not sexy.

I hope all this helps you Craigs out there!!!

Book Review: Hiding In Hip Hop by Terrence Dean

2008-05-19T20:36:00.000-07:00

Rating: Men on film would say, "HAYY-TED IT!"

I wish I would have read this book at Barnes and Noble and left it there when I was done. I would be 20 bucks richer!! I understand why Terrence did not want to mention the names of celebrities he was on the DL with but can you be a bit more descriptive, T?

Things I did not like about the book:

*I hate the fact that he has NO timeline in this book. When you mention you were with a popular, successful singer, is it from 2008,2007, 1987??? This was wrecking my brain...

*Also, the blind items were a bit too short and general.

*Dude makes it seem like he slept with every man he looked at. I know you HAD to run into some hard rapper who wasn't having you stare him down.

*For dude to be on the DL, alot of people he was hiding from sho did already know he waas gay.

Overall I give it 7/10. Terrence had a really interesting life and comes from an interesting background. His stories outside of the industry are what make the book decent.

20 Questions (+,-)

2008-04-20T10:19:00.000-07:00

“It’s been a long time, I should’ve left you, wit out a dope blog to step to”

*What you know about Sugar Shane vs. Zab Judah on May 31st, son!??

*Readers and Plies, please help ya girl out. What exactly is a “Bust It Baby”??

*Can we get up on a supergroup already? Ya'll only have like 100 songs together already!

*The Carter III- Ya girl can’t wait!! Major props to Lil Wayne for putting a big girl in the video!!! R.I.P Static!! For those of ya’ll who don’t know he wrote and produced some of Aaliyah’s and Ginuwine’s greatest hits and was in the R &B group Playa.

*Now I know Jay-Z said “30’s The New 20” but I'm pretty sure I missed Rick Ross' statement about “Fat Is The New In Shape”??? Peep his vision!

*At The Heart of The City Tour, Mary J. and Jigga had 0 outfit changes but why did The Dream have 3 and he only performed 3 songs? Yall know what Diddy would call this!!

Mama so proud of her babies! Is it just me or does Willie just look right all the time?? Or as Ankh, would say, “perfect”.

Soooo, Fergie really rappin’ now?? Didn’t have the desire to put audio, flick, or video for this. Sooowrry.

Day 26!

2008-04-01T22:17:00.000-07:00

Quit trippin' and just go cop the CD! Don't hate! Diddy said there is no what allowed??? lol Movie review of 21 coming tomorrow :-)

Making The Band, The Wire, All Star Game and everythang else in between...

2008-02-24T15:02:00.000-08:00

Ok, so your girl has been on straight absentee mode and not on her ish, but I am back! Below you can read my 3 cents on the latest Yall know. Making The Band, The Wire etc….

First things first, are you a member of christiansondemand.com??

The All Star Dunk Contest was one of the best in years!!

FYI, Dwight Howard supermaned that ohhhhh BUT that was not a dunk, that was a layup.

Gerald Green

I think Gerald Green could have scored perfectly on the birthday cake dunk if people would’ve realized that he blew the candle out. I think the audience and judges didn’t know he blew the candle out until they aired it again in slow motion. Next year he should go up with a knife and cut a slice. His feet should be hurting from that other dunk with no shoes. It’s a wonder he didn’t slide and break his neck.

THE WIRE

****WARNING, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE HBO ONDEMAND, THIS WILL BE A SPOILER UNTIL TONIGHT AT 11*****

The Wire is simply one of the greatest shows on tv!! I am still saddened that it is in its final season, and I’m salty that fans only get 10 episodes at that! With that said, I can’t believe they killed Omar off! He was the one character that I knew would make it to the end! At least now he can be with his boo from season one!! R.I.P. And little Kennard, why would you do that?? Lil hopper putting in work for nothing! Didn’t nobody ask you to kill Omar!

So are you registered with Christiansondemand.com??? Your girl is over the membership committee!! Join and don’t forget to add me as a friend!

Making The Band 4: “Ya’ll not getting nekkid”- P.Diddy

Diddy. Once again. Kicking fools out the studio again. (I couldn’t help but think of the Chappelle spoof lol). I admire Diddy, but it’s hard to believe that this same person who is so hard on people’s vocals, signed Cassie! Did she use Ankh?? My 3 cents below

*I love Ankh (the vocal coach, aka R. Kelly meets Yoda). Remember when he was talking to Willie about “being perfect, in THA MOMENT!!!”?? Classic!

*I think the guys are overall a better group than Danity Kane.

*Aubrey is 4 much.

*Willie has stepped his game up. Or maybe I was a sleeper.

*Why is Brian in the group???

*D. Woods, if I see you in the screets, I got some scissors for that long piece of side weave that needs to just R.I.P.

*Donnie was chilling on the piano

*Big Mike killed that last note!!!

Mayweather vs. Hatton

2007-12-09T20:02:00.000-08:00

-photo officially jacked from msnbc.com

*I know, I know it's not a clip of the fight, but youtube took down alot of the uploads from the actual fight :(

I’m really not into the sport of boxing, BUT I must watch every Floyd Mayweather, or shall I say “Money May” fight!! I didn’t think that any match could top the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight back in May, but the Mayweather/Hatton match was some serious ish!!

So back in April/May, HBO had the series, 24/7: De La Hoya vs. Mayweather, which is a reality show that followed the boxers around (from training, to talking ish, to just living life). This time around, HBO decided to give the fans 24/7: Mayweather vs. Hatton. The series makes you appreciate and respect the rigorous sport of boxing. Like the last time around, the series is what got me hyped up for the main event!! This show is one of the best ideas ever. I am extremely surprised that HBO did not package the 24/7: De La Hoya vs. Mayweather and fight into a DVD. I would buy a copy just to see Floyd Mayweather work out! Have you peeped that sexy body body? Did you see the way he does those crunches, and then stands up at the end? Things that make me shake my head and say umph….

Last night, some friends and I went to a local sports bar to see the main event, Mayweather vs. Hatton. Don’t know why, but I was somewhat nervous for Mayweather. He talks so much ish, I would just hate to see his little-sexy-milk chocolate-self lose. He had me on the edge of my seat in the first couple of rounds when he was stumbling a bit. And don’t let me mention when Hatton dang near threw Money May through the ropes. A girl almost has a heart attack!! One of my friends called me during about the 4th or 5th round to see if it was too late for them to come to the bar. I told them not to come out because it looked like Mayweather was not going to make it much longer. It just seemed like it was a really really close fight and it was hard to tell if he had the edge. Man, was I ever wrong about Mayweather not going to make it!! Proceed to round 10!! Mayweather knocks Hatton down. Dude gets up when the ref counts to 8. Don’t know what he did that for, because Mayweather knocked him right back down. This is probably one of the best fights ever!! It was worth every cent of the fans’ money because it wasn’t a quick fight and the score was almost equal (Mayweather was up by 2 points) before the knockout. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, you must peep it for yourself when HBO gives us the repeats especially since the clips from yesterday have been getting taken off of youtube!!

I normally don't...

2007-11-29T20:27:00.000-08:00

I normally don't do personal blogs, but I had to post this one!

I have alot of stressful (some good some bad) stuff going on. I got a new job (yay!), I got close peeps in my life completely flipping out on me for selfish reasons and completely forgetting and not appreciating all I've done to help them, people in "my extended network" messaging me under false pretenses, and a whole bunch of other ish.

So with all this said, my mind can sometimes be elsewhere, like today when I went to Target. So my homegirl and I walk back to my car and I see my keys in my door!! I locked the door, and forgot to take the freakin keys out! Hello car jackers out there, please take mine, plleeeaaassee!!! So I'm tripping out in disbelief. Then, the woman parked right next to me (who I hadn't realized was there until she spoke because I was in such shock) said she stayed in her car to watch mine! This made me feel so good, to know that good and honest people do exist in this world. Sometimes we wonder why bad things happen to good people, but today I can say that good things absolutely happen to good people. Karma does come back around. I thanked God for that woman and prayed for a blessing for her. I can only imagine who did the same for me. :) Right now, I am truly overjoyed.

Ya girl has some great news for all of you Wireheads out there! The season 4 DVD will be released just in time for Christmas on December 4th! And ya'll know what that means. As a owner of the first three DVDs, I've noticed a trend. When they release the box set from the previous season, it normally means that the following season debut is right around the corna! And the trend hasn't changed. Season 5 premieres on HBO on January 6th!!!

Holla at cha girl!

Throwback ish! 702 & Subway

2007-11-13T10:40:00.001-08:00

Sorry it's been a minute since I "threw it back" here at thisishwritehere but better late than neva is what they tell me. The latest Throwback comes to you from 702 featuring Subway with "This Lil' Game We Play".

-See, I bet some of ya'll didn't even know that 702 started off with 4, not 3 members.
-Poor girl never lead a song after this.
-702 had success after this, but what happened to Subway? They were talented as well. I remember a few years ago on Usher's MTV Diary, one of the guys was his BFF/Assistant. Moving on.
-Michael Bivins discovered these folks, you know the guy from Making The Band 4 who also discovered Boyz II Men, who was also in New Edition. This guy doesn't get the props he deserves.
-Have you peeped the lyrics?Looking back it looks crazy to see how young they were, but I was young too singing right along. lol
-Do girl groups ever stay together?
-And I'm outro singing, "this little game that we play/just a little game that we plaaayyayyy" lol

Jay-Z House Of Blues Concert

2007-11-07T11:01:00.000-08:00

So ya girl went to the Jay-Z concert last night at the House of Blues on the infamous Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA. For starters, let me announce that I will never ever again go to that tiny venue to see a major artist such as Jay-Z. I think that it was over sold because I've been to sold out shows at the House of Blues and it has never been that crowded. I was waiting for a stampede at any minute. The place was packed!

My friend and I get inside and ironically end up standing by a couple who were in line a week before with me at ticketmaster. They were unable to get tickets then and instead got them online for twice the price! And on the other side of me was a customer from my job that I'd assisted not too long before. lol Doors opened at 8 and the show was scheduled to start at 9 but the Jiggaman did not come out til about 10:30. So in the meantime, people were getting their Jesus Juice on in a major way. This caused many of them to think they could squeeze their way in front of me. hahhahaha, I'm still laughing at those attempts. They had great music playing (I guess that was his opening act) but the drunken folks were becoming an annoyance and I was glad when the show finally opened.

So the curtain finally arises and my my my what do we have, a live band!! I was hoping he would because his Unplugged CD is one of my favorites and on The Jay-Z and Friends tour he used a live band that just made his performance that much more live! Once Jay-Z came out, I forgot all about the annoying people that were getting on my nerves a few seconds previously.

He opened with "Pray" from his new CD "American Gangster" that was released yesterday. He had a few special guests, but I was shocked that Memp Bleek didn't hype the whole show with him like normal. Jay-Z did the show for dolo. He did the best of the best off the new CD such as "No Hook", "Roc Boys" (he closed with this right after "Encore"), "Blue Magic" ( I thought Pharrell's sexy self would be there for his part umph), "Ignorant Sh*t", "Say Hello", and few oldies but goodies. I was glad that he did some of his unreleased fan favorites such as "Hovi Baby" (sounds great when you, "give the drummer some"), "You Don't Know", "Excuse Me" remix aka jay-z always smoking that la la la. Some of his released popular hits performed were "Encore" (he brought out Diddy and Jermaine Dupri for this, why? I don't know), "Show Me What You Got" (also good when you, "give the drummer some"), "Give It To Me", "Dirt Off Your Shuolders", "Big Pimpin" and others. He brought out The Roc Boys, Memph Bleek, Beenie, and Freeway for "What We Do", "Roc The Mic", and "Change The Game". All in all it was a terrific concert!!! Everybody left looking like they just left the gym with sweaty faces and shirts. We even spotted a few celebs getting their parlay on. Jay-Z sounds exactly the same, not all outta breath like a lot of rappers. Hopefully next time he'll come to The Staples Center!!

JAY-Z CONCERT!!!!!

2007-10-27T10:05:00.000-07:00

So I woke up yesterday on my day off at 6:15 AM so that I could arrive early at Ticketmaster in the Ladera Center to purchase Jay-Z tickets that were to go on sale at 10AM! I was the first one there. There ended up being about 10 people in line to purchase tickets. I'm the only one who left with tickets. It sold out in literally 1 minute! A dude offered $600 for one ticket, but I wonder if I could've made it to my car without getting hit upside the head. I'm on cloud nine write now. I feel so blessed and excited!!!!! It's tha Roc!!!

BET Hip Hop Awards as promised!

2007-10-17T22:12:00.000-07:00

You know the routine,here are my thoughts about the ish!

-Firstly, everyone knows that T.I. was MIA due to his recent arrest. It’s really disturbing to me that when you go to a search engine (I’ll keep it nameless) and you type in “BET Hip Hop Awards”, most of the links are about his arrest and not about the show. Traaaggedddyyy

All photos were offically jacked from the BET website.

-my favorite "duffle bag boy"

-The Kanye West Performance was dope, wit the red Michael Jackson pants and all!

-I’m glad BET decided to go with Katt Williams again as host. He’s not afraid to clown on folks who need to be clowned on even if they are in the audience. I was dying when he was talking about how T-Pain and the synthesizer should never depart. LOL And then right after when he introduced LL Cool J as “Lick His Lips Cool J” LOL He better hope Michael Vick doesn’t come after him tomorrow, he got him a few good times.

-When Nelly performed, for the first 10 seconds didn’t you think the girl on stage was Ashanti?? Not too sure how I feel about the future video vixen opps I mean little girl gyrating doing the splits. *shakes head* She shoulda just stuck to “walkin it out”.

-Common gets sexier and sexier by the minute. Umph!

-Glad to see KRS-One get the props he deserves.

-Is that Hurricane Chris’ son doing “The Rick James” with him? He had a cool hype man.

-It was good to see the rappers all support their peers and not throw hate. They all seemed to enjoy one another’s performances.

-I love me some Cornel West!

-Boosie had a nice newscaster flat top. Nothing wrong w/a throwback haircut.

-And yes, I’ll admit, at the end like all of you, I was in my living room cranking that soulja boy! “Nope, you can’t do it like, nope!”
