Maaaaan…. if ever this were a dream concert for me, this would be it right here!!!!
Dwele’s new CD is out and it’s great! He has a song on there with my other dude Raheem Devaughn,
which got me to thinkin’… this would be the dopest concert ever! I wish I had the wherewithall to pull
something like this together. Since I don’t I will be having the concert in my iTunes… and you can enjoy
it too! Art (above) also by ya girl. Enjoy and get these CD’s!!!! (Links to artist websites below)

Erykah Badu vs Lady GaGa

Lis — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:29:57 +0000

So Erykah Badu is obviously doing big things as she has come under major scrutiny lately. Her video for ‘Window Seat’ casts the diva walking down the streets of Dallas, disrobing! That alone is a bit shocking… but as I watched it, I found myself wondering ‘What’s the point?’. The other question is ‘Where did she get all that bootay?”… seriously? So the masses (and media) are up in arms about it. I’m told Dallas is attempting to impose a $4k. penalty on her for public nudity ~ if only someone will come forth and complain. Now… Like I said, the vid left me wondering ‘Why?’, but I believe that Ms. Badu has a message in her vid that my lil mind isn’t able to grasp as yet. So I keep watching it hoping to get it (and because I really really like the song). All in all ~ I kinda like it.

Now.

Lady GaGa.

Why is it that no one is up in arms about THIS hot mess? That video, “Telephone” has no message, no meaning, I *guess* folks are trying to say it’s artistic. I call it a hot mess! Did I mention it’s a hot mess? I’m not hating on GaGa – I think she has been masterful in commanding media attention (reminds me of Madonna back in the day). I don’t care for her get’ups. She’s not a horrible singer. But I am far from a fan. And this video solidified my thinking that this chick is simply distasteful! Yet she has a huge following. Hmm. And no one is saying jack about this nonsense video. ‘Cept India Arie… Go head India!

So it would seem, that overtly sexual videos are acceptable, while straight forward nudity is not.

I’m not gonna say it.

I refuse to say it.

I’m really trying not to say it.

..wonders if someone of the non-chocolate coloring would be under as much scrutiny…

I tried. imjustsayin?!
