Live From The Kitchen is never coming out but Yo Gotti is still making dreams come true, via the “Make a Wish Foundation Hoodrat-to-Don Diva” sector. Ladies, if you’re in need of a little ashy to classy upgrade, all you have to do is close your eyes and blow out the candles and then blow…um…nevermind. Read the rest of this entry »

The scuttlebutt’s that Amar’e is now calling Cici’s cooch home and has been for some time. Amazing considering that her p*ssy-popping skills might just break your flesh hammer and that’s before she gets on top. Read the rest of this entry »

Live From The Kitchen is never coming out but never fret trap boys and girls. Yo Gotti is back in the streets doing what he does best: passing out samples of baking soda-infused cocaine nuggets ’til the fiends keel over and die. Record label who? The Memphis kingpin does his own thing and he’s doing it well with help from Ciara, Waka Flocka Flame and Bigga Rankin. Gotti just turned surrended himself to the proper authorities because he’s a G like that but his music will do his bidding in his time off the streets. Read the rest of this entry »
Aside from her bizarre infatuation with 16-inch Clodhoppers, TC thinks Ciara is the shiznit. I don’t care that she’ll never be Beyoncé or how much ammo Freshalina unloads in her direction. If she wants to “Gimme Dat,” who are we to discourage her otherwise? With an album named Basic Instinct, she’s taking icepicks to the competition’s throats and chaps like me get to interrogate her for it. Read the rest of this entry »
Cementing the notion that all things comes in threes, we’ve got another André 3000 sighting. Perhaps BET’s banning of her video (despite the puzzling fact they rarely even play videos) was a blessing in disguise, as this light and airy remix is perfect for Saturday morning skate jams, backyard gatherings & more importantly radio spins. Taking full advantage of the whimsical backdrop, Three Stacks is playful in both his word play & delivery, while taking his crack at young CiCi. Happy hunting Mr. Benjamin & I wish you much success if it’ll get you to stick around for awhile. Read the rest of this entry »
Because that’s exactly what it is.
Yesterday, I happened to spot a new video from one-time R&B superpower, Ciara. Like many before her, her career has traveled from unknown to cover girl to fall-off to the arduous task of re-energizing her career with the coming of her new album Basic Instinct. Through texts, BBM’s and tweets, rumblings of a – what’s the best term here – “exotic” new video from CiCi was making its rounds on the internet. Being the genius I happen to be, YouTube afforded me the opportunity to view Ciara channel her inner-Trey Songz on “U Got Me (Basic Instinct).”
Not the greatest track in the world, but better than 98% of her last album, so complaining was not necessarily the first option. BUT, there’s always a but (in this case, thighs and hips, too), it turned out that was the “wrong” video. I should have actually been watching her extremely suggestive Ludacris assisted single, “Ride.” Being raised by my mother and grandmother for the greater majority of my life, having respect for women has always been stressed and mandated. With that said, I’m also a man who cannot help if my mental slips into the gutter with such vivid imagery (and lyrics). Feel free to glance over some notes.
1. Until someone comes with some legit proof that this young lady was born with a “hot dog” and a “hallway” (cringes), I’m refuse to believe such stuff. This urban legend has been placed beside the legendary “B.G. dying of heroin overdose” and Styles P track where he allegedly dissed Aaliyah after her death.
2. The song isn’t half bad. But you probably don’t care.
3. Seeing Nicki Minaj appear on the remix wouldn’t be a surprise. Or a bad look in Ciara’s case.
4. Those pelvic, hip gyrations are ridiculous. In fact, the :36 – :38 mark.
Best believe, however, if my younger cousin ever attempts to recreate this, I’ll be madder than George W. having to shake hands with Haitians. Hypocritical? Damn right, but so is life. If you have yet to stumble upon the video, feel free to click the sideways triangle and formulate your own opinion.
Bonus: Whether or not this video makes it to TV remains to be seen. Thankfully, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart provided Ciara with a more subdued record she should be able to cash in on. It could be one of those songs to play for your summer fling while selling the best dreams your mental can conjure up. Don’t act like you aren’t already looking.

Approximately three weeks ago on a Monday morning, I emailed Xilla (‘Nuff Respect!) to ask him a question. He answered, then asked me if I wanted to go to help cover the BET Awards as a member of the media.
At first, I thought he was pulling my leg so I said, let me think about it.
*brain starts churning*
“It would be cool.”
“This aggin lying though. I don’t even know him like that.”
“The BET Awards are two weeks away?”
“Enh…the BET Awards sound lame, but what else would I be doing on a Sunday night?”
After about a day of internal debate, I told fam “Sure, I’ll go.”
And by Saturday, June 27th, I boarded a plane for L.A., set to return on Monday morning. Yes, if you know me, I’m not straying far from home for too long. I’m one of those folks who has done pretty much all that a human being needs to experience in order to write a decent autobiographical tale. I’m not a tourist or sight-seeing type either. If you’ve seen the Statue Of Liberty in pictures & postcards, you’ve seen enough in my opinion. Plus, my kids, my lady & my bed > waking up in some strange place & being surrounded by entertainers.
Yes, Gotty’s™ a simple man enjoying the simple pleasures, yet I made an exception for this one. Since it’s not like Nashville has that many red carpet events (okay, none besides Country music), this was a new experience for me & that I couldn’t pass up. But it’s from that simple man angle I use to recount those roughly 48 hours I was in L.A. for the Awards.
Losing It: I only found myself slightly losing composure when I set my eyes on Alicia, Beyonce…and Carmelo. Yes, Carmelo, no pause.
As a lifelong Syracuse fan, my eyes lit up when I saw him, as he’s the man that’s responsible for ending the pain & suffering caused by “The Shot.” I managed to walk up, exchange a quick dap & thank him for that. Truth be told, I prolly would’ve hugged him if he let me.
Beyonce breezed right by with maybe about 5-7 security types around her. She was all smiles & shit though. Unfortunately, it was so random, I couldn’t snap pics fast enough as this wasn’t a part of what we’ll refer to as “the stroll.” I was standing there, most likely oogling @ someone or something else, when I heard a lot of high-ptiched yelps from the crowd. My ears rang for a second before I realized they were yelling “Beyonceeeee!!!!” I wheeled around and Read the rest of this entry »
