Dear LL Cool J, ‘Accidental Racist’ is an Accidental Failure
LL Cool J and Brad Paisley set the web ablaze yesterday when they released their new collabo song ‘Accidental Racist.’ The controversy and backlash was well-deserved too. I don’t listen to Brad’s music, and hell, I haven’t listened to LL’s for YEARS either. But I need to have some words with the Brother Man, not the [...]
Should Folks Lighten Up About India Arie’s Cocoa Butter?
I’m a fan of India Arie’s music and her songs are all in my iPod. I own her first 3 CDs and I couldn’t tell you a favorite song if you begged me. SO MANY! But y’all know I love overly sappy and uplifting music. I’m a jerk with a heart like that. Yes, she sings [...]
The 2013 Grammy Awards Were Decent. Or Maybe Twitter Tricked Me
The Grammys were relatively lowkey this year compared to previous ones. Because 2 out of the last 4 years, something MAJORLY tragic has happened before it. Thankfully, nothing crazy of note happened. WE TANK GAWD. Anywho, my thoughts on the show are about everything but the award giving itself. You’re all used to this by [...]
Who Would I Pay to See in Concert?
I’m halfway through my LuvPrah 10,000 Facebook fans giveaway, and I’m having A BLAST with this! I hope you all are too. Everyday since last Wednesday, I’ve been giving out prizes on my fan page and to win, people have to answer a question. And then I pick at random out of the people who [...]
Stevie Wonder Would Play At Harpo’s Juke Joint and I’ont Like It
I’ve always been a Stevie Wonder fan. I know all his songs and I love him. He is a genius. But his PR team is not. A couple of years ago, I wrote a sternly-worded letter to Stevie Wonder telling him to fire his team because they don’t want the best for him. Judging by [...]
Rihanna is Charging $250 for a CD. FAH WUT?
Rihanna went as weed for Halloween and I thought that was per her usual “Doing the Most” that we’ve come to expect, tolerate but not love from her. She’s hellbent on letting us know that she’s a rebel. She will grab our faces, wear the t-shirt, color her hair aubergine and tattoo it on herself [...]
What is the Dancery that Mary J. Blige Was Talmbout?
You know Mary J. Blige’s hit song “Family Affair” and I bet you’ve jammed to it many a times at parties or in your house. I’ve definitely hit my Mary bop on countless occasions because that song goes so hard in the paint. But I’ve always wondered things about the song. The lyrics pique my [...]
Do Not Instagram That Hoe, Fat Joe
Not-so Fat Joe just released a lyrically-remedial track featuring Rick Ross and Juicy J called “Instagram That Hoe.” and I’m here to tell him to refrain from such a thing and I have a plethora of reasons. 0.5. You start the song talmbout “all my bad bitches report to Instagram right now!” Welp, there goes [...]
Kreayshawn Sold 3,900 Albums and It Went Toilet Paper
Some of y’all are probably saying “Who is Kreayshawn?” and my response is “Exactly.” She’s a white girl from the Bay area who thinks she can rap and got on YouTube to show her skills. Of course, she was terrible at it and did the most with the least. She wasn’t terrible because she was [...]
Dear Shirley, Woman to Woman, Don’t Be Calling Barbara’s House Like That!
I was listening to Shirley Brown’s Woman to Woman, and I was just like “You know what? Shirley was TRIPPING.” So I decided to write her a sternly-worded letter. In case you’ont know what song I’m talmbout, see below: “Hey Barbara, this is Shirley. You might not know who I am…” Dear Shirley, First of [...]
The 2012 BET Awards Was Surprisingly Good. They Did Whitney RIGHT
For the first time in a while, I can truly say that BET did a good job with one of their programs. This is high praise, seeing as how I’ve wanted to just fight their team during past award shows. This year’s was actually really good and I enjoyed it, so kudos to the folks [...]

Dear Erykah Badu, That Video? Please Go Have a Window Seat
Erykah Badu has done a duet with the group Flaming Lips, using Roberta Flack’s “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” And the video came out this week, and it is a total clusterf*ck. I watched all 5 minutes of it and frowned through the entire thing because it involved a naked Erykah Badu (and [...]
