Billboard 'NOT' Top 10 Rappers

Billboard released their list of Top 10 Rappers of ALL TIME!! ALL TIME!! First, 'of ALL TIME' is impossible to even gather! A lot of people are having issues with the fact that 2 Pac isn't on the list! A small percent of me agree's. So, let's go through this list: According to Jae Michelle. (If this list is in the order above)

1. Notorous B.I.G - is not #1. If TuPac isn't on the list then he shouldn't be either.

2. Jay Z - If they are referring to the past 2 decades. YES

3. Eminem - should be #1 

4. Rakim - agreed but not so high up on the list. Even though he is very lyrical and is a trendsetter for his era, he's a 80's lyricist. Oh, but they did say of ALL TIME huh? still... not #4

5. Nas - #6 - I genuinely believe he did not win with Ether. He is lyrical and he does have a message. Nas is definitely a messenger! But I'd bring him down to #6

6. Andre 3000 - I'd rank him at #3 It can't get any better with "The Love Him Below" which put him in the 'musical genius' category. Outkast put Atlanta on the map! 3000 is beyond lyrical. His creative aura is another world. 

7, Lauryn Hill - #4 Most people would not agree with this position because of the low amount of solo albums she put out, let me remind you that she got multiple awards for The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. You have to remember her flow and her voice in her work with the Fugees and her acting skills, which set her apart from any lyricist in Hip-Hop during her time!  

8. Ghostface Killah - I don't agree with AT ALL! 

9. Kendrick Lamar - Needs another 8 years . Not including his mixtapes and last 2 projects. He's not that established yet. 

10. Lil Wayne - No. 

I would liked to have seen 50 Cent on this list. Being that Nicki Minaj has been the leading female rapper for the past 5 years and counting, I wouldn't mind seeing her on this list. Especially since she's always at the top of the Billboard charts. But hey, I didn't make the list!! *Shrugs*

Black Lives Matter

Time Magazine cover story "Black Lives Matter" tells me; A Change is coming! Although this is not the first time a cop has been charged but it's the first time in a long time. It's at a time where a transition is desperately needed!

Police brutality has gotten totally out of hand. The faith in the justice system has been more than shaken. It has been abandoned. Not only by blacks but by whites and other races as well. The killings are becoming more and more petty.

They (the powers that be) probably feel as if we've taken away our faith in them, it takes away their power & their money. At one point we believed in Law inforcement. We called on them for help. We respected them. As kids some of wanted to be cops. Now we don't need them, we don't want their help, we don't respect them and some of us fear them. I guess their getting the picture.

Protect & Serve not Torture & Kill!

J.Cole - Be Free [Tribute to Mike Brown]

Press PLAY while you read this!

Most of us have been staying glued to our Instagram accounts and televisions keeping up with the Mike Brown story. I usually don't have a comment until everything has played out. I don't think this situation is going to die down anytime soon!

I think this situation is different because this is the "straw that broke the camels back". I think the people are fed up. Not just black people. All people, the Human race as a whole. Because truth be told, black people aren't the only people who are victims of police brutality. I personally feel like enough is enough. I;m sure everyone else feels the same way. I am not a victim of police brutality but I have been harrassed, profiled and my vehicle illegaly searched in my city of Compton by two female cops. I wasn't even driving. My car was off and I was parked. It all goes hand in hand.

J.Cole has released this song "BE FREE" and It brought tears to my eyes. His voice is so infectious! J.Cole has also provided the audio of Mike Browns friend telling us what happened and you just feel like your right there! You feel like you witnessed the incident. You feel like it happened to you.

The art of The chase: how things have changed!

                      

These days I've been noticing that men who try to date me or are interested in me, they take a step back and wait for me to make the first move. I began to wonder where did men go wrong with pursuing women? When did it become okay for a man to step back and wait for a woman to call him, or wait until she says she wants to go out or even tell him the exact time, location and date she wants to step out with him!? 

I know a mans ego is VERY sensitive and I know that with women being "Independent" these days, men are more afraid of rejection than ever before. Instead of him saying "I want to take you out on Friday night at 8pm. I want to take you to this lovely restaurant with great food. You'll love it." the conversation is now " So, when can I take you out?" or "When will you be free to make some time for me?". In that moment your not being confident. You're already thinking of being turned down because of her "busy" schedule. Your not taking initiative and your not showing her that you are a firm leader. TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION! 

No matter how independent a woman seems. No matter how much she appears to be strong minded, walls up, I don't need a man attitude. At the end of the day we are still Woman. Soft, sensual, emotional creatures that need love, attention and a Man. A man who's going to be a MAN! If we know we can control you and have you on a string like a puppet. We will. If we know we can have you down on your knees begging us to "make time" for you so you can take us out on a date, what makes you think you will get any type of respect from her. 

The roles of women and men are getting too far reversed. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still believe in a man pursing a woman, courting her and making her feel like shes the only woman for him. Most men will say, "Well when I plan the date, she doesn't like it, or she complains." If you have no clue what food she likes or some idea of what she likes to do before your first date, you haven't had much conversation. I don't want to tell you, where I want to go, What I want to eat, pick me up on August 5th at 5:45pm every single time we step out and especially not on a 1st date. You learn things a woman likes through conversation. TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION! Trust me, we want you to! 

Tameka "TINY" Harris - What the Fuck Would You Do

So, Tiny has this new song out! Honestly I forgot baby girl could sing! If you forgot too, Tiny is former member of R&B Group XSCAPE! This new song "WTFWYD" is definitely based on her real life relationship with her husband T.I. I think when we are in a relationship and times get hard or we've been putting up with so much you eventually have to ask your man; What would you do if all the things you're doing to me are getting done to you!? The two are still married and together in a relationship, which is a blessing! You go girl! Hopefully you give us more great music to jam to!

What do you think of the song?

Remy is Back!!

UPDATE: Remy Ma's release has been pushed back. She will remain in prison for 7 more days!

_______________________________

NY rapper Remy Ma is scheduled to be released from prison today! Remy Ma did a 6 year stint in jail for shooting a former friend for stealing over $3,000.00 in cash from her! A lot has changed in the music game within 6 years, if your not hip to who Remy Ma is, she, at the time was a member of Fat Joe's the "Terror Squad"! She was most known for her verse on the Fat Joe hit record "Lean Back" and her own hit single "Conceited". Remy Ma is also married to NY lyricist Pappoose!  

I'm excited about this release because Remy Ma was one of my favorite rappers at the time. Remy Ma's delivery is what attracted me to her music and her topics were relate-able. She was cute and sexy and she wasnt too hard core, as in sounding too tomboyish like Disturbing the Peaces' female lead Shaunna! I'm definitely looking forward to Remy getting back in the studio. I'm excited to hear how she's spitting now, if her style has changed and if she's still got it! Prison does change people, hopefully the change is for the better!

Nicki Minaj - Pills N Potions

Nicki Minaj "Pills N Potions" video is finally here! She has THE GAME playing the love interest in the Video. The Video is very artsy and eclectic. I think its pretty dope being that the song its self doesn't keep my attention. Although it has a very catchy hook. Pills N Potions is the first single off of Nicki's new album "The Pink Print" Dropping this summer.

RIP DR. MAYA ANGELOU

I grew up reading her poetry. This poem taught me self confidence. Her literature was inspirational to me. The true definition of a confident woman was Dr. Angelou to me. She was one of the greats. You will be missed!

Mr & Mrs. West

Kim and Kanye tied the knot over the weekend in France. the images are rolling out this morning. Kim looked beautiful in her gown. She looks very classic. The dress ain't your normal corset style or strapless dress. She looks beautiful. Rumor has it Kanye put the whole wedding together and Kim was left out of a lot of planning. Kanye is very detailed and very eccentric. I wouldn't trust any other straight man with planning my wedding! Congrats to them both!
