Keri Hilson recently sat down with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton to address her controversial new video “The Way You Love Me”…the raunchy visuals and explicit lyrics.
Does Keri have a point?…Janet Jackson did it. Madonna did it. Why can’t she?


Surely parents won’t want to hear their tween daughters singing along to this joint. But isn’t that the parents responsibility to control their kid’s music intake? My only issue with the song and video is that Keri Hilson never went this hard to be overly sexy and talking about “fuck me” and “pussy” this and “pussy” that. That was just never part of her image at first and now we see Keri cater the “sex sells” concept. But who am I kididng…If do a brief analysis of Keri’s material you’ll notice she’s never been kid friendly or non-sexual hence “Turning Me On”, “Make Love”, “Return the Favor”…it’s just now with “The Way You Love Me” her lyrics are bit more on “dirty” side and blatant. Is that wrong?!

All I’m saying is…One thing is very clear: Keri just wants to get fucked! Now is that so wrong?

STR8 SNITCHIN’: RAZ-B ADMITS TO SUCKING OFF J-BOOG! http://str8nyc.com/2010/11/28/str8-snitchin-raz-b-admits-to-sucking-off-j-boog/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/11/28/str8-snitchin-raz-b-admits-to-sucking-off-j-boog/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 01:19:10 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=42726 STR8 SNITCHIN’: RAZ-B ADMITS TO SUCKING OFF J-BOOG!

WOW…and the B2Gay blues continue. I don’t know what to believe anymore. Did B2K kids get molested by Chris Stokes? Did Chris Stokes make these dudes get all gay with each other? And if such shadiness went down, why is Raz-B taking it to YouTube to settle things or get the truth out. What no legal action? No book? WTF?! Something about this just doesn’t seem right. I’d hate to think Raz-B is just doing all this for attention and google hits. #imjustsayin Just roll the clip to hear the madness of what “really” went down in the B2K crew under Chris Stokes’ management. I’m not here to judge, just want some clarification. #thisisjustsad

STR8 TALK: 8 REASONS TO DATE A WHITE MAN….LATINA’S P.O.V. http://str8nyc.com/2010/11/10/str8-talk-8-reasons-to-date-a-white-man-latinas-p-o-v/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/11/10/str8-talk-8-reasons-to-date-a-white-man-latinas-p-o-v/#comments Wed, 10 Nov 2010 16:43:38 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=42666 STR8 TALK: 8 REASONS TO DATE A WHITE MAN….LATINA’S P.O.V.

Last week ya gurl, LexAve, attended Madame Noire.com panel discussion featuring actress Malinda Williams, Egypt Sherrod of 107.5 WBLS in New York, Emcee Amanda Diva, Dr. Boyce Watkins of AOL Black Voices & Your Black World, Michaela Angela Davis (formerly of Essence magazine & Honey magazine), S. Tia Brown, Mark Anthony Neal and host China Okasi (Editor of Madam Noire.com). The panelist were part of Madame Noire’s premiere event: ’8 Reasons to Address Romance in the Black Community where they discussed the explosive article – “8 Reason’s to Date a White Man” written by LaShaun Williams at Columbia University on Friday, November 5th.



The room was filled with vocal and opinionated black folk both men and women talking about the prevalent issues of romance in the black community. As a Latina in the room observing the ongoing debate about love, romance, relationships within the black community…I couldn’t help but wonder do discussions like this happen in the Latin community. I mean since blooming teenage girl all I ever dated were black and latino men. And now that I’m twenty something, exploring new ventures in my life and meeting new people on a daily basis…I’m now dating a white man. And to be honest with ya, his “whiteness” doesn’t phase me. I mean we have similar interests, similar humor, mutual attraction, etc…and although his “whiteness” is not an issue, it’s definitely an issue for my fellow Latinos. For instance, we’re riding the train from the Bronx into the city and the stare downs from older Latino men and women is hilarious. And I thought the stare downs I got when dating a black guy was bad, ha! So sad! But I digress…I just wonder if my fellow Latinas talk about dating white men vs black vs. latinos. Some of the reasons to white a guy that was discussed by the panelists were:

1. “They open wide instead of down low”-That’s a load of crap. White men are just as likely to be down low as black men. This idea and stereotype feeds into the hype and histeria about black men being down low and less of them as being available to single women.

2. “Not looking for someone to take care of them”- I don’t know the statistics on White men vs. Black men coming from more stable family structures…but from my personal experience most of the black men I’ve dating were constantly looking for a chick to care of them. Guess that explains why I’m no longer with them.

3. “Attend and graduate from college”- Well this I agree with…White men are more likely to be college educated than black men. I’m not sure if the same can be said for Latino men, since Latinos are attending and graduating college at a higher rate than before. Not to mention this new statistics about black males doing worse than bad in the education system is just horrible news.

4. “At least attempt to marry before making babies”- I disagree with this reason. Just because it’s noticed that White men don’t have children sprinkled all the over the place, doesn’t mean they didn’t impregnate a chick. There’s a little thing called abortion.

5. “They don’t glamourize ignorance”- The Madame Noire article states: “They may listen to rap music, but they are smart enough not to act it out. The “thug life” is not something to be aspired. White men have a firmer grasp on what really defines manhood.” But ignorance doesn’t just lie within rap music. There are other forms of ignorance that some white men adhere to. Not agreeing with this claim as it’s just too general of a statement.

6. “Financial planning and stability”- I totally agree with this one. White men or rather white culture are just more educated in spending their money. Rather than looking to “Floss” like most men in the black and latino community…white men are just far more interested in being wealthy than appearing wealthy. There’s a big difference.

7. “Have the ability to look beyond your past”- Another general statement. This has nothing to do with race but rather the individual itself. Claiming that white men have no problem turning a “hoe into a house wife” is just dead wrong. How do you explain these rappers wifin’ up “former” strippers? C’mon…this has nothing to do with race.

8. “Don’t take everything as a challenge to their masculinity”- I couldn’t disagree more. Whether black, white, latino…men who feel insecure or intimated by strong educated women (black, white, latina) has more to do with their own lack of self esteem and own personal weakness. Some men are just aren’t strong enough to handle a strong woman and that’s their loss. #REALTALK

Overall it was a very interesting, mind stimulating intimate conversation that deserves more discussion and less stereotypes. As for me, none of these reasons played into me dating my white guy. It just for whatever works between us. Frankly, that’s all that matters. As for my Latino community, I’m considering taking a poll and seeing where Latinas stand on this issue. Hmmm…

STR8 TALK: MODELS ARE THE NEW THUGS… http://str8nyc.com/2010/10/26/str8-talk-models-are-the-new-thugs/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/10/26/str8-talk-models-are-the-new-thugs/#comments Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:54:57 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=42605 STR8 TALK: MODELS ARE THE NEW THUGS…

Loos like the fashion world has got a new crazy bitch…out goes Naomi Campbell…in comes Jessica White. Not only does the stunner have a criminal history…weapon of choice: Baseball Bats, but most recently she straight whopped a fellow cab rider in the face. According to PageSix & a snitch,

White walked to 10th Avenue at about 4:50 a.m. to hail a taxi after leaving a Chelsea club. But while standing on the corner of West 17th Street, she got into a dispute with “a 28-year-old woman.”
According to the court complaint, White “pulled the victim’s hair and struck [the victim] numerous times in the face with her hand, causing abrasions, swelling and substantial pain.”


Fashion-industry insiders call White a “hot head”. So I can’t help but wonder…why are these model chicks so damn ugly? Sure your pretty face and Avatar-like long legged self rake in millions for posing for flicks and strutting the walk…and yes your beauty is enough to make traffic stop…but since when did beauty override all forms of human decency and respect? I remember a time when models knew their place or at least played their role…eye candy. Every since Naomi Campbell went on her blackberry beat downs and rampage, other models began to follow suit. And now we have a new angry black model chick on the block. Shouts to Jessica White for keeping it gully. Don’t let a pretty face fool you…these model chicks are the new thugs.

Sidebar: Sure pretty chicks fighting is ugly…but wouldn’t you love to see Naomi Campbell and Jessica White get in on a weave snatchin’ match?!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: LA REID FIRED FROM DEF JAM OR NOT? http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/22/str8-snitchin-la-reid-fired-from-def-jam-or-not/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/09/22/str8-snitchin-la-reid-fired-from-def-jam-or-not/#comments Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:32:52 +0000 Cola Janneti http://str8nyc.com/?p=41817 STR8 SNITCHIN’: LA REID FIRED FROM DEF JAM OR NOT?

The internets are buzzing with rumors about LA Reid was served his pink slip for lackluster year at Island Def Jam Music Group. Whether or not its true? Well let’s weigh the rumors…

According to XXLmag.com, it is all false. A rep from the parent company of Def Jam, Universal Music Group told the website, “[The rumors] are completely untrue and without merit.”

Prior to that Globalgrind was buzzing about Reid treated like a nobody when he was denied entry into his own office and removed from the Def Jam building. Reportedly, executives at the legendary label spent the better part of yesterday in an emergency meeting working out their next plan of action.

All I’m saying is haven’t a few of Def Jam’s artists’ record sales tank in 2010 under the guidance of LA Reid…if the shoe fits, then…u know the rest.

In addition to rumors of LA Reid being fired, there’s also talk of The Dream getting dropped from the label. WORD?! OUCH!

FANTISIA ADMITS SUICIDE ATTEMPT BUT NOT OVER A MAN! http://str8nyc.com/2010/08/24/fantisia-admits-suicide-attempt-but-not-over-a-man/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/08/24/fantisia-admits-suicide-attempt-but-not-over-a-man/#comments Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:16:38 +0000 LexAve http://str8nyc.com/?p=41484 FANTISIA ADMITS SUICIDE ATTEMPT BUT NOT OVER A MAN!

Fantasia Barrino breaks her silence since her much talked about suicide attempt to Good Morning America. Contrary to what snitches claim, there was more to Fantasia’s suicide attempt than finding out the man she was in a committed relationship was a married man…it was a culmination of all the stress for the past six years. Fame and fortune…it ain’t for everybody.

She explains:

“There’s just so many things that I had to deal with – me almost losing my whole career, not having management, and lawyers and everybody who said they had my back, nobody taking care of me, me taking care of my whole family. (There is) so much that people don’t understand, they just see the glitz and the glamour and they feel like life is so perfect (for me). But we (celebrities) are human and we go through things…

“I think everybody feels like I tried to harm myself over a man. But I’ve been through a lot of bad relationships. That had something to do with it because it was so heavy, it was brand new information. I was already going through so much but I think it was just six years of everything, of me holding everything on the inside and not letting it out. I just got very, very tired.”



The singer insists she is now putting the past behind her – she’s seeing a life coach and is eager to go back to work.

She adds:

“There are people who love and support me and just want to see me keep going and who’ve been through the same thing… and I said, ‘You know what, there’s no perfect person’. I’m just thankful for all the doctors who were there for me because they didn’t treat me like Fantasia, they treated me like ‘Tasia, and I needed that.”


Glad to see Fantasia is getting better both physically and mentally.

Check out Eminem x Rihanna’s chart topping hit “Love The Way You Lie” starring Megan Fox. Great visual representation of an abusive relationship.

Poor Kat Stacks let the entire industry of dudes beat, she ratted them out and now ppl coming out the woodwork laying beatdowns on this chick. Granted the chick has some serious mental/self-esteem issues, but for people to randomly approaching her and straight up harassing her both verbally and physically is just wrong. And secondly, why is she putting herself in such compromising positions? Smartenup trick and stay your a$$ in the house! Lay low and keep ya mouth shut for a hot minute. #imjustsayin
