Family Guy got competition!


LOL! I just found this. Since I'm on the topic of Black animated characters look at this little charm. I'm a fan of Family Guy but I must admit I haven't watched it in a while (heard the new series are airing on BBC3 in the UK though). If this comes out I'd defiantly watch it, but doubt it'd be as funny as the actual Family Guy though, nothing beats Peter Griffin and co lol. Look at the black version of the characters Chris and Stewie. LOL.

This image is too funny to me.

Disney's Beautiful Black Princess!


The 21st Century has finally arrived!
Lol. Meaning that Disney has finally created its first Black Princess! Isn't she pretty? lol. It's about time aswell, we've had white princesses, japanese, arabian and even native american ones! I'm not hating on that though, diversity is good. The lovely Anika Noni Rose will be the voice of the young princess in the animated film to be titled "The Frog Princess". She's doing good for herself, she starred in "Dreamgirls" alongside Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Not too sure what the films about so I guess you just have to wait and see..

I hope it turns out good and it's nice that the younger black generation get to grow up seeing a soon-to-be major Disney film featuring a lead black character. I dunno about you guys but my favourites were Beauty and The Beast and The Little Mermaid.. aww loved those days lol!

OMG. And how dare I forget Aladin!

Everybody Nose..


The video for N.E.R.D.'s new single "Everybody Nose" has been on Youtube for quite a while but just thought I'd write a little post on it. It's strange, like many people I can't decide whether I like this song or not, but one things for definite is that it's hella catchy. You can't help but sing along to the repetitive lyrics and sound. As you can see the ultimate party girl (and loser in my opinion) Lindsey Lohan is in the vid, and Kanye gets a little feature too! I'm really liking this video, and call me Devil's advocate or whatever but do you think to a certain degree it kind of glamorises that party-hard, drug lifestyle? Then again people are use to seeing violence and butt-nakedness on TV- so to heck with that! I dunno anyway, at least it captures the essence of the song.

Weekly Throwback

I thought it was about time we featured a u.k artist for the throwback. So heres Shola Ama with 'you might need somebody' all the way from 1997.
I can't believe it was so long ago i remember it like it was yesterday and i was seven at the time!

I was originally gonna post you're the one i love' now that was my tune but i can't find it anywhere its like its been wiped from existence.
Where's Shola at now? Anyone remember she tried to make a comeback a few years ago with that track 'you should really know?' It was the answerback to Mario Winans ,the WACK naila boss was on it! Think a u.k lil mama but a really crap version lol

The World is not safe..

...for a girl like me! Lol. I'm not even messing, some of the craziest things I see seem to be either on my bus route or while I'm actually waiting for it. A transexual frequently goes on my bus with his belly hangin out over his jeans, holding a mirror and comb in his hand trying to make himself look pretty. Then you got other things like people trying to prepare their dinner on the bus (no lie!) one woman was cutting up some lettuce with a sharp-ass knife. The thing I really can't stand are fights though. It don't matter how many I see, each one shocks me just as much as the last. Don't think I live in a little bubble or something, because I'm fully aware that horrible things happen but I'd rather not witness it right in front of my face! Last night there was a fight, and there were glass bottles flung about, punching, kicking, biting, scratching.. ok that last one was a lie lol. But on a serious note it was absolutely horrible. These guys were kicking this one person in the head and stomach, and in the end he had a massive bump of blood on the back of his head and blood pouring out of his face. People were calling the police/medical help, but he was shouting calling them idiots saying he don't need no help because it was "minor". I felt really sorry for him and I was about to give him some tissues to clean himself up but decided not to because of his previous reaction. That's mashed. I know guys like to put on a front but c'mon now, the guy had just got beaten up so obviosuly he isn't as tough as he thinks he is.

Timbaland and The Neptunes


I'm getting really frustrated with how the music industry works now. Yeah.. I know I'm not no expert but I feel I know what I'm talkin about! It seems like particular producers will work with anyone under the sun just for the moneeeey. I'm referring to some of my favourite producers now.. Timbaland and The Neptunes (Pharrell and co). I'm not really a fan of Britney (maybe when i was like 11..lol) and Madonna (only her old tunes maan!) so I'm really disappointed that BOTH Timb and Neptunes have produced alot of the songs on their album, and to be honest I'm real disappointed. In my opinion those artist's voices and the beats don't blend together that well. It doesn't sound right. Seems like a waste. The beats alone sound sick, but once you hear the voices its like eww! That's just my opinion though! If you beg to differ post a comment..

I'll admit that I can just about listen to Britney "Why Should I Be Sad" (neptunes)and "Hot As Ice" (timb)

Weekly Throwback

Ok so its been a minute since the last post but all of us have been mad busy its a stressful time at the moment with exams and stuff. Anyways I'm back on the throwbacks thanks to Lovehate for last weeks one well done you get a gold star :-) This weeks song is one I still listen to all the time Kelis' 'Get Along With You' from her debut album 'Kaleidoscope.' Kelis always stood out from the rest of the other singers out there with tunes like 'Caught Out There' and 'Milkshake' she was just always herself. This video was something different and fresh at the time and made me like the song even more. The reason I'm writing in the past tense is bcoz she got dropped from her label so I'm not sure if we'll hear any more music from her anytime soon. Wtf is going on when Kelis gets dropped but Cassie is about to release a new album??
Kmt enjoy the vid.
