So it was love at first sight when I laid my eyes on this beautiful purse. And you might ask, who this purse belongs to...no one but the 1 and only, Kelis. At her album release party in NYC on Wednesday, she rocked this stone-studded pocketbook that matched her dress perfectly. I am SO feeling this bag and I really would love to have it (I already know it costs a fortune, but there is nothing wrong with admiration). She has not announced who created this purse or her lovely dress, hopefully she will tell because it is bangin'.
I hope you all enjoy looking at it as much as I do. And I must say that Kelis indeed looked like "The Boss" that she is on this night that was dedicated to her. Go, Kelis! Love ya 4eva! Peace, yall! ♥
Harvey Fuqua, singer, songwriter, producer and mentor to the incredible Marvin Gaye passed away July 6, 2010 at the age of 80. Fuqua was a member and the lead singer of the legendary R&B/Doo Wop group, The Moonglows. They were a big hit during the wave of rock-n-roll that was rockin' America in the 1950s, with hit songs such as "Sincerely" and "See Saw". In the late 1960s, he became an executive at Motown Records in their Artist Development sect at the request of Berry Gordy. There, he made musical magic with many of the great artists that were a part of this label such as, Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrel, Junior Walker, The Marvelettes and many more.
Not only did he groom artists like The Supremes, The Temptations, Junior Walker and the All Stars and The Four Tops, he produced songs like "Sexual Healing" for Marvin Gaye and "You Make Me Feel" by Sylvester. Fuqua truly does not get all of the respect and props that he deserves for how he built up what we would call the music business for African American entertainers. We salute you Harvey Fuqua and your work will always be appreciated.
So the day has finally arrived. It has been a long time coming for us Outkast fans who have been waiting for one half of the group to come out with a mixtape or even one unofficial single. But the buzz of Big Boi dropping a new album got his fans excited months ago, and we knew that he wouldn't let us down with this one.
Today Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty has officially been released and I am so excited. After listening to a couple of the leaked songs (ooops :-) on the internet weeks ago and viewing his video for his first single off of the album, Shutterbug, I knew that this album would be classic material. With Big, you can always expect him to incorporate a funky, out of this world type of sound to his music....while still having that dirty south hip-hop twang to it. And this album is just that and more! I am so excited that week after week many Hip Hop albums have been dropping this summer, and Big Boi is just putting icing on the cake with this one.
Go support this album, yall! If you are looking for some good music to listen to while trying to cool off on these hot days ahead, pick up Sir Lucious today! You won't regret it. Have a great day, peace yall! ♥
Especially if they are Billionaire Boys Club sneakers!
BBC has unveiled their new low-top sneaker for their Fall/Winter 2010 collection and I must admit that I would cop these if I was a dude. I really love them because they are simple, canvas shoes....But they are still very different in their own way. You could rock these with almost anything; they would give your average outfit a dope/street feel. They kind of remind me of shoes that you would see people in California wear or maybe its just me lol.
Anyways, I think they are hot. And mostly anything that Pharrell Williams is rocking will sell to the masses. Its great to see him modeling again, lookin' hot and fly as ever. Ya feelin' it? ♥
It is indeed the end of the week guys and you know what that means, WEEKEND TIME! Plus, the fourth of July will be on Sunday so there will be many things going on ALL over the U.S. Although July 4th isn't much of a day to celebrate to me, it is a time that you are able to cookout, relax and be with family and friends. Also, my sister's birthday and a couple other family members birthdays land within this week so I have alot to be excited about.
So I hope that whatever you all do, please be safe and celebrate GOOD TIMES! And remember one thing, have fun! Blessings and love! Peace ♥
So many of us music lovers complain about music being " too negative", "lame", "not the way it used to be" and even "dead". Well I am here to squash all of that chatter, why? Because a classic album is being released today by a classic artist.
Dres, of the legendary Hip Hop group, The Black Sheep, is releasing his long-awaited album, From The Black Pool of Genius, today and Hip Hop fans are ecstatic! A lot of people may think that this is Dres's first album release since Black Sheep's debut, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing in 1991, which isn't true. Since then, Dres has decided to carry on the group's name by himself while releasing several albums and touring all over the world ALL in the name of Hip Hop.
Recently, Dres has been giving sneek peaks of a couple songs off of his new album on the internet and I also just listened to the songs on iTunes. After reviewing these songs, I am here to say that Dres's unique flow and clever lyrics reign throughout all of these songs and his golden touch on the mic has not tainted. Not to mention, he has AZ, Q-Tip, Mike G of the Jungle Brothers and Dave of De La Soul also on this record, just to name a few!
Dres has really out done himself with this new record and I cannot wait for fans to cop it. Dres is a very humble, intelligent and down to earth man. From seeing many of his interviews, I can tell that when it comes to making an album....He puts his heart and soul into it and proof of this can be found on his new album. So please go to iTunes or your local internet music store and buy this album; support GOOD MUSIC!
Here is a song off his new album called "Party Tonight" Featuring Jean Grae. I am really feeling this song, you can also click the link to download the full song if you please.
Have a great day, everyone! Blessings! ♥

By the many posts that I have done on Michael Jackson, it is obvious that he majorly influenced my life. Its officially been a year and I can't believe it. But if feels just like yesterday when he I heard that he died, I remember exactly where I was and what I heard. But let's forget about all of that and celebrate!
I just want to start off by saying that his music has been penetrating my ears, heart and soul ever since I was a little girl. The Jackson 5 was played at all times by my parents, but it wasn't until later that I discovered more about his later music.
His accomplishments, accolades and awards surpass that of any other musical artist out there. From Grammys to humanitarian awards, Michael had all of it and touched people of all walks of life with his love for music. I just wish that more people would accept and respect that, because he is still so disrespected even after his death by so many people. But this only makes his family, friends and fans more appreciative for being able to know MJ in his entirety......Forget what everybody else thinks!
So the question that I would love to pose to you all is, what did you love the most about MJ? For me, it was his strength and compassion for others. Michael was loved by the world, and hated by those who didn't care to understand him. But through it all, he remained true to himself and still lived his life doing what he felt was right. His strength was beyond comparison. And his compassion for people is what made him so surreal. He wanted to the heal the world; he wanted all negative things that prevented the world from being united to cease. He was a great man.
So I will leave you with some videos that show MJ in his prime. We miss you Michael and the world is celebrating you today! Keep dancing and singing, wherever you are! Love ya! ♥
What's up, lovely people? I hope that everyone had a great weekend. Well, I have just came across one of the freshest Hip Hop songs and most creative videos that I have seen this summer (next to Big Boi's "Shutterbug"). David Banner has had a song out called "Slow Down"for a couple months and the official video was just released yesterday. I knew nothing about this song which is surprising, but thank God that I did stumble across it. I am so happy to see David doing what he does best, delivering a message for the people to hear. I consider this a true Hip Hop song with some true southern flava. The beat is awesome as well, thanks to the producer, 9th Wonder, who is also in the video.
Like I am really in love with this video and song. Mr. Banner is doing his thing and is proving once again why he is one of the greatest rappers from the South. Check it out yall....... Peace and shoutout to Mississippi! ♥
So it was love at first sight when I laid my eyes on this beautiful purse. And you might ask, who this purse belongs to...no one but the 1 and only, Kelis. At her album release party in NYC on Wednesday, she rocked this stone-studded pocketbook that matched her dress perfectly. I am SO feeling this bag and I really would love to have it (I already know it costs a fortune, but there is nothing wrong with admiration). She has not announced who created this purse or her lovely dress, hopefully she will tell because it is bangin'.
