Doo Doo Mamas
Doo Doo Mamas...
I've recently just come to the realization that doo doo mamas have no idea that they are doo doo mamas!!! That scares the hell out of me. But think about it... doo doos walk the Earth acting like they're just as sexy and pretty as the next girl. Which is not a good look, cause I believe that if you THINK you're pretty, you can attract a member of the opposite sex. Which is also not a good look!
I've been studying the nature of the doo doo mama. The girl whose behavior I was studying had a boyfriend, a few tattoos and an attitude like someone on perminant PMS. She did have a name, but we'll just call her... ... ...Heather (idk, don't ask).
Heather wore short shorts for the first 3 days of my study, despite the cellulite on her thighs. She wore weeve, of course. There is nothing wrong with weeve in my opinion...unless its colored. Heather's weeve had 3 different colors. The more I watched her for this study, the more I disliked her. But that's just the nature that comes with being around a doo doo mama. Slight hatred from the people around her. The doo doo mama will call you a "hater" for criticizing any way that she dresses or any flaw in her character. That's just because her subconscious is the only thing in her that knows she's a doo doo mama.
Her boyfriend's name was... ... ...Michael (again, don't ask). He was a strapping young fellow, eager to play basketball in college or rap...or something. He wore flannel shirts and skinny jeans and had perfected the dance move currently known as "The Reject". But a reject he was not...or was he? In my opinion, this boy looked like he could get a girl better looking than Heather. But he almost refused. He and I engaged in friendly conversation and he referred to his beloved Heather as "Wifey"...I began to slightly dislike Michael too. But not only because he was an idiot, which he was. I began to slightly hate him simply because he had no ambition. Ambition should start by setting your standards for the opposite sex...and here he was, Michael, in all his retardation, setting the bar extremely low...
Heather opened my eyes to the doo doo mama in other ways, also. Music, for one! Doo doo mamas HATE female artists (and celebrities for that matter). Heather particularly hated Beyonce, former member of the Destiny's Child singing group and wife of Jay-Z...best rapper ever. Michael had grown an large infatuation with Beyonce over the years, and Heather resented Beyonce for it. Before becoming Michael's "Wifey", Heather told me that she loved Beyonce, she listened to her almost religiously and even aspired to sing like her (I made the mistake of letting her sing her favorite Beyonce song for me... ...not a good decision on my part). But as soon as Michael "wifed her up"...(raises eyebrow)...she decided Beyonce was a b*tch. A b*tch! It saddened me to see the angry look in her eyes. I wasn't sad for Beyonce...nor was my sorrow for Heather or Michael. It was self pity...yes, my sorrow was for myself, that I had decided to conduct a study on such a retarded subject.
I made the decision to try and convince Heather that the doo doo mama lifestyle was not a way to live. But she simply said to me as she patted the purple part of her weeve down with her left and and scratched the orange/red part with the other: "I'm not no damn doo doo mama. Ya mama's a doo doo mama N*GGA!...now..." and she chewed loudly on her gum.
In closing... ...I have no idea why I spent a week following a doo doo mama, documenting her life and in the end, trying to persuade her to be a respectable black woman. It was as pointless as trying to prevent Michael Vick from making dogs kill each other two years ago... ...low blow? Sorry.

Two New Hot 100 Records
The Black Eyed Peas and Jason Mraz both break Billboard records this week.
Here is an excerpt from today's Billboard Bulletin.
Two longevity records will be shattered on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart to be released on Billboard.biz Thursday
(Aug. 20) morning. With an eighth consecutive week at
No. 1 for "I Gotta Feeling," the Black Eyed Peas will have
held the top slot for an unprecedented 20 straight weeks,
having previously led the list for the prior 12 frames with
"Boom Boom Pow," the lead single from its Billboard 200-
topping album "The E.N.D." Also entering the record
books is Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," which spends an extraordinary
70th week on the Hot 100. The track debuted
on the May 3, 2008, chart and peaked at No. 6 nearly a year
ago, on Sept. 20, 2008. The song has resided within the
top 40 of the list in all but the first 12 weeks of its chart
life, dropping 23-29 on the latest tally.
The Black Eyed Peas' 20-week string atop the Hot 100
surpasses Usher's run of 19 consecutive weeks achieved
in 2004 with "Yeah!" and "Burn."
For Mraz, his never-say-die single overtakes the weekson-
chart mark held for nearly 11 years by LeAnn Rimes'
signature hit "How Do I Live." That ubiquitous track spent
69 weeks on the Hot 100, with its final frame occurring
on the Oct. 10, 1998, chart.

Somber times
So many unexpected things happen to us in our lives. Most we can bounce back from. But some, some just seem too hard to do so. It's in those moments that our strength, faith and character is tested. We may not always know the reasons for these tests, but we must remember that they are here to make us stronger, not to tear us down.
If you love someone, tell them. Tell them sincerely and often. You never know which time might be the last.
Best wishes to the families and friends of all those who we have lost recently.
A person's true legacy is how they live on in the hearts and minds of the people they've affected in this world.
Live, love & learn!

Keri Hilson covers Complex
I am NOT mad at this. Keri is definitely a rising talent in this industry. I'm a fan of her music and have been for years. And to think, she's not even polished yet.
Good look on the mag cover Keri. (I know Comodity LOVES it!!) Hahaha...

I'm so happy to see this.
"When Chris Rock's daughter, Lola, came up to him crying and asked, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?", the bewildered comic committed himself to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl's head! The result is "Good Hair", a wonderfully insightful and entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture.
Celebrities such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughter’s question."
Check out the trailer below.
I hope this helps with the way a lot of black people view the whole "good hair" issue.
Live, love & learn!

Just checking in:
Last night we went to go see Kristinia DeBarge perform at CityWalk in LA. She put on a good show. Has a really nice live voice. Good to hear a young singer that can handle herself on stage.
Let's go new generation!
