Rapper Eve on New Music & Iggy Azalea



Rapper and Actress Eve is readying up some fresh new music that should be out by the end of the year. She says it’s going to go viral and personally I hope it does because it’s about time. She’s trying to channel her old sound and I wish her the best of luck. Do you miss rapper Eve? & As far as her favorite femecee right now she said nothing but good things for upcoming rapper Azealia Banks ““I like Azealia Banks. I think her style is dope. If you listen to her lyrics, she knows how to wordplay and I think that’s cute. I’m not really into the Iggy Azalea chick. I can’t really fuck with her music, but her look is crazy. I just can’t believe it.” —do you agree? Are you excited?

Evelyn's Balling Out of Control



Basketball Wife star Evelyn likes to show that she’s balling out of control. She took time out from planning her wedding to make it rain on the strippers at G5 in Miami. Evelyn blew two grand just to show she was balling. I guess news is news right.

Nicki Minaj Talks Lady Gaga Comparasions



Nicki Minaj has an interview with Dateline and she was not hesitant to address the comparisons between her and Lady Gaga. When asked if the comparisons offended her Minaj responded, “Offend me? No. Irks me? Yeah,” responded Nicki. “Because we are in completely different lanes.”. She even turned the tables and asked interviewer Juju Chang what similarities there were between her and Gaga and Minaj explained that most artists wear wigs. They both somewhat irk me one more than the other but it’s cool. What do you think about the comparisons between Gaga and Minaj?

Brianna Perry Pens Letter to Hip Hop



Brianna Perry’s “Dear Hip Hop” video stars upcoming artist Brianna Perry rapping over a sample of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” expressing her frustration with the Hip Hop Industry while watching MTVS “Hottest MCS in the Game”. If that wasn’t enough she’s burning a copy of the infamous XXL Freshman Issue putting her all into her music while the mic bleeds. She offers lovely word play and just oozes passion. What do you think of the track? The second part is her rapping over a Drake track & I like that one too. There seems to be a lot of hungry female rappers lately.

Some wonderful wonderful sales going on right under your nose.

Claires (75% Jewelry and Accessories) is having this incredible accessory sale right now. Where they have a lot of jewelry marked down to 75% off and there's no promo code needed. The neat thing about these guys is their standard shipping is six dollars in the US the not so neat thing about these guys is their slow site & the fact that their standard shipping takes eons to get to you. I mean it could be worse, you could be dealing with Forever21 type of customer service. 

GoJane (You can save 15% off your order) If I could work for GoJane I would. I tell everyone I know about the lovely people at GoJane. They have quick standard shipping, nice quality clothing and shoes and I adore their customer service. Right now 

Amiclubwear (You can save 30% off you order) Yesterday it was 40 but beggars can't be choosers. I'm loving their shoe collection you will too unless you rock a 9 1/2 like me & if so good luck.

Charlotte Russe (Save 25% off all tops) They're having sales every day for the next couple of days. Who knows what tomorrows deal will be. I love their jewelry and their shoes are nice if you can catch a great sale. I shopped in store & I cleaned up on their $2 rack they had.

Wet Seal (25% off All Dresses| Online Only) I haven't been in a Wet Seal in forever but I've always had a thing for their dresses. 

Dr Jays (15% off any order) I just snagged a pair of Chuck Taylors from these guys for about 30 bucks. I enjoy them much and their standard shipping is amazing.

Rewind: "Cry Me a River"



Rewind: Remember when Justin Timberlake first went solo and everyone told him he would never get further without his N'Sync buddies.

Closet Secrets (Where I Like to Shop)

So I have a wee bit of shopping problem and anyone who’s seen my closet know this. Pretty soon I’m going to have to borrow closet space from my mom (who would love it because we’re almost the same size and we swap clothing when necessary).  Every time I go out in something new I always get the question, “Where did you get that?” and I say “Online”. So today, I’ve decided to share some of my closet secrets. Most of my shopping is done online thanks to my laziness and lack of driver’s license. I actually prefer to shop in the store but who am I to pass up a good sale if it’s happening online? A lot of people don’t know this but you can get the designer look without the designer price tag on a lot of good quality sites.
Some awesome sites to snag some great finds
With prices like this dress for $9.99 Amiclubwear might be the best price but watch out for Shipping Ladies

Pros:  My first online clothing purchase was from AMIClubwear about four years ago and I visit them quite often.  They hold a contest twice a week giving Facebook fans the opportunity to win a $50 gift certificate to their site. I was that winner and it’s been bliss ever since.  Their prices are cheap, their shoes are sweet and  if you’re looking for a club dress this is the place to be.  They also almost always have a sale going on.
Cons:  They’re standard shipping is a little long, and their site isn’t up to par with other sites I’ve stumbled upon since my first purchase. 
Tropical $16 Forever21 dress screams Spring


Pros: Nice prices, nice quality, great site navigation, good customer service and quick standard shipping
Cons: I haven’t found one yet when I do I’ll let you know. I hear they’re return policy is a nightmare but I’ve never had to experience that yet.

$19 Bodycon dress from Charlotte Russe


Pros: Quick standard shipping,  lovely site and sales
Cons: None
$21 Coloblock tank dress from GoJane=so retro

Pros: Everything you can possibly think of these gals have. GoJane is my favorite place to shop especially when they have a sale. Their standard shipping is great, their quality is great and their shoes are amazing.  I’ve purchased many things from GoJane.  They also offer a Shoe of the Day Giveaway to their Facebook fans every week and if you join their mailing list they send you a coupon on your birthday. How’s that for keeping you happy?
Cons: There are none and they have fabulous customer service

$18 Dress from Make Me Chic in Coral Red makes any look pop


I haven’t shopped here yet but I can see it in my near future. I recently just discovered this site and they have nice prices and also offer a Shoe of The Day Giveaway on Facebook to their lovely fans

 I haven’t shopped here yet but I can see it in my near future. I recently just discovered this site and they have nice prices and also offer a Shoe of The Day Giveaway on Facebook to their lovely fans
Claires is no longer the go to place for accessories for young girls. This heard necklace is  $14.50 and could be the staple for your outfit

Pros:  I've liked Claires since I was a kid they're online shopping site is kind of new and maybe one day they'll get it down to a Science. Nice clearance section for accessories and other stuff, nice prices and I love their clip on earrings. There's no many stores that still sell clips so I love it.
Cons: Takes a while to process your order which in turn makes their standard shipping a little slow

$16.95 Cat Attack Dress from Karmaloop will turn heads

Pros: A few years back I won a nice Married to the Mob prize pack from these guys and it was love ever since. Nice prices on a lot of urban designer wear,  quick shipping and wonderful quality
Cons: There are none this site is amazing

Laced Draped Dress from Nasty Gal for $23 is sure to make you the life of the party.


Pros: Great prices in their clearance section, nice site layout, quick shipping and wonderful quality. I can't wait to wear the dress I bought from these gals.
Cons:  Haven’t found any
These lovely Leopard printed Platform Sneaks are $68 at Dolls Kill


Haven’t shopped here yet but I love some of their standout pieces and their sale section is amazing

Unless you catch a sale which doesn't happen often in Betseyville, the most you'll get for $50 is a clutch
 
Pros:  Quick standard shipping, join their fanclub today and save 25% off your first purchase, also they have stellar customer service
Cons: They’re expensive, if you can avoid shopping Betsey Johnson items directly from Betsey Johnson please do so. Karmaloop has a lot of Betsey Johnson accessories and clothing cheaper than Betsey Johnson’ s prices. 

$20 Cold Shoulder Dress from DEB
 
I haven’t shopped online through them but I love their store. Most people think Debs is for plus sized women only and they're terribly wrong.  They have some wonderful online prices and for joining their fanclub you get to save a percentage off your first purchase. 

 Any places you love to shop online that I haven’t listed? Please share.

Press Play: "It Girl (Remix)"

Press Play: Jason Derulo released a remix to his song "It Girl" featuring his current It Girl Jordin Sparks. It's adorable. These two got closer after working with each other and Jordin took care of him when he hurt his neck in a dancing accident recently. What do you think of the track?

A Lot of People are Very Unhappy with the XXL Freshmen Spread

I don't even want to comment on the new XXL Freshmen Cover but apparently upcoming rapper Azealia Banks is upset with the upcoming rapper Iggy Azalea's face being on the cover of the magazine and she took to Twitter to vent about it.
“Iggy Azalea on the XXL freshman list is all wrong,” remarked Banks on Twitter. “How can you endorse a white woman who called herself a ‘runaway slave master’?”

Of course Azalea responded not tweeting anyone in particular
“You can’t block my blessings! Today I’m celebrating! Get with it or kick rocks!” she tweeted. “First female freshman. Ever. Period. Thanks world! I used to stick XXL on my bedroom door, now I’m on the cover. Life is great.”
Azalea is anti-Nicki Minaj and isn't afraid to admit it claiming that we've all seen the boobs, the hair and the ass "What else can she do". It got really interesting when Kreyshawn put her two cents in the argument stating:
“You’re a dumb bitch. And you can’t rap. I’ll sit on your face. … Fall back slut,”
Azalea is the first woman MC on the XXL Freshman Spread. She shares this year's spread with the likes of Roscoe Dash,Future, Kid Ink and anyone else that was ready and willing to share the cover.  So much foolery I can't take it. Who do you think should've been on this year's cover?

Press Play: "Sex Tape"


I don't know much about Kanary Diamonds besides the fact that she seems like a sweet heart (I recently tweeted that I loved her music; didn't mention her or anything but she found it and retweeted it). She has this swag (I hate that word) that can't be denied. I listened to a few of her songs & "Sex Tape" was by far one of my favorites. Have you heard of her? What do you think besides that fact that she is physically attractive?

Rewind: "Why I Love You"



Rewind: Remember where you were when you first heard this song and how it made you feel? Were you one of those screaming fans that believed these boys were fine and your friend couldn't claim the same one because you called dibs? Oh yeah! I remember! What's your favorite B2K song?

Press Play: "Believe"

Rapper the Dream Weighs in On Chris Brown & Rihanna Collab & Forgiveness



Rapper and producer the Dream weighed in about Rihanna's "Cake" Remix and reunion with ex boyfriend Chris Brown. He also talked about how the world needs a little more forgiveness?
“It was Rih’s idea. Not only do we work together, but [Rihanna] is a friend of mine. I don’t know how she got the logistics and how it happened — maybe she’ll talk about it one day. I showed up at the studio, and it was like, ‘All right, cool, let’s finish this record.’”

“For me, it’s just music. Two talented people doing a record together, doing two records together, and that’s what it was. It wasn’t about an incident that happened. The true thing really is to forgive, and… you want to believe in people.”

“I think [the topic] that should be more on the tongues is: how do we proclaim to be a nation of forgiving, and we go by all of these rules and everything, but we can’t actually do it? It actually makes you look weaker than your adversary — if you don’t have the power to forgive, but you lie and say that you did.

“Because this is about her,” he continued. “If she can forgive, that’s where she is mentally. As a friend, it’s like, ‘Okay, cool. Let’s roll.’”

The song is also featured in her Clearasil ad. Will you be buying Ms. Jojo's latest project? I can't wait. I still have her first album. I knew that girl was going to go far. I'm glad she finally got out of the tango she was in with her label because that is talent.

Word: Rihanna's Label Does Not Support Her "Birthday Cake" Remix


Word?: If you're a part of the population that pays for music and you actually wanted to buy Rihanna's "Birthday Cake" remix on iTunes you may be waiting for quite some time. Rumor has it that Rihanna's label Def Jam does not support the track and her decision to release the song even though they insisted she did not.Sources say Rihanna released the single against the label's wishes to prove a point. I was going to buy the song though it is very hawt track. Just too bad the label is afraid of controversy. I respect her "IDGF" attitude. What do you think?

Rewind: "My Baby"

Rewind: Today venturing around Youtube I kept getting a commercial promoting "Fred" the TV series & I couldn't help but to think of my childhood. These kids are getting duped. 90s Nick was awesome. One show in particular that I really loved was the Romeo Show. He was actually the first concert I ever attended. I also got his autograph when I was little and I've held on to it for like ever. So without further or due here is Lil Romeo's "My Baby" for all those like me who can recall this song from their childhood. He grew up to be a fine looking specimen I must say.

I just want to hear the finished version. Rihanna is currently rumored to be readying up a seventh studio album release.  She’s a hard working lady. Happy 24th birthday Rihanna.

Miranda Lambert & Chris Brown are Still at It




The controversial but always talented entertainer Chris Brown recently took to Twitter to address country star Miranda Lambert. Lambert was videotaped at a concert holding a sign reading “Take Notes Chris Brown”. Brown seemed to Kanye shrug it off before tweeting, “Using my name to get publicity? I love it! Perform your heart out!”  and “Go buy @miranda_lambert album! So motivational and ‘PERFECT’!”

The entertainer is currently working on his remix to “Turn up the Music” and is rumored to be featured on his ex-girlfriend’s newest single “Birthday Cake”. Speaking of cake today is her birthday and Brown recently tweeted her birthday wishes and earned himself a retweet from her. I guess all is well in Rihanna land.
