Check out this budding poet/lyrical genius…a sophomore at University of Wisconsin, Jasmine Mans, ripping Young Money’s barbie bitch, Nicki Minaj. In this youtube clip, Jasmine gives a full analysis on Nicki’s Barbie minaj and how detrimental it is to the industry, to female empowerment, and the youth…lending this distorted and toxic view on today’s woman…today’s black woman specifically. So is Nicki Minaj all about female empowerment or just another set-back?! Jasmine’s poetry is just a caution of what’s to come. Today Nicki Minaj is hot, tomorrow “They will Lauryn Hill you!…The miseducation of a Barbie Doll coming soon”…WOW! Roll the clip…


“This microphone is not a dildo so you are going to have to come a lil’ harder.”
Even though Jasmine took shots at Nicki, Jasmine paints a great picture of the fall of the female rapper….pay real close attention.

THOUGHTS?!

In other Barbie news, while shots were being fired at her…Nicki paid a visit to her fans at BET’s 106 & Park. Here are some pics of the Barbie in action…

Is Lloyd Banks really that brilliant or did he just remix the Lost Boyz “Lexx Coups, Bimaz, & Benz”? Something tells me the Lost Boys were a major influence in Lloyd Banks latest hit “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley”. Regardless which joint brings that heat?! Old School vs. New School…let’s go!



In other related tidbits, the boy Nigel of RealTalkNY put me on to this hilarious video clip by Brandon Carter…f*ck “Beamer, Benz or Bentley” it’s all about “Subway, Bus, or Walking”.


“Parking is not a problem, when you use that public option…”
Shouts to the MTA system!

Is Brandy the latest celebrity desperate for some comeback shine? Over the weekend, the former child star soon to be reality star tweeted a link to her latest bathroom singing session…”At Last”.



Just in case you didn’t know, this isn’t the first time Brandy took it to youtube for her bathroom sessions…see her old videos HERE. really Brandy? Really?!

There’s no denying Brandy’s still got it…but she’s gonna need a lil’ extra + a hit to make it happen!

I love it! I love it! Femcees going in! I can definitely respect the art of rhyme battling…and shorty right here from Bodymore aka Baltimore got some ok punchlines. Yeah, she can use some coaching on her breathing, but since noone else is going at Nicki…it was only a matter or time. Nicki Minaj is a bit old to be on that Barbie tip, but people are eating it up and loving it. “It’s Barbie, Bitch!” People may say this Bodymore chick is hating on Nicki…sure she might be, but shorty can spit. However…how you calling Nicki out for playing the “Barbie” roll and you rhyming about busting guns and robbing folks. Really?! Is that what you do?! How does this qualify as “real” lyrics? C’mon ladies, how about rhyming about real deals and not what knucklehead niccas you know around the block do. That’s childish!

Hov wasn’t having anyone else Lil’ MaMa his set anymore…and clearly there’s only room for one hypeman, Memphis Bleek. Pay attention to whats going on behind Jay-Z, as his guard straight tackles a fan off the stage in DC. Wonder if fan will try to sue?

Yesterday the Internets were ablaze with comebacks at John Mayer’s comments about not dating black women and personifying his d*ck as a white supremacist and for using the “N” word in an interview with Playboy. He said,

“If you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass.”

Then when asked if “black women throw themselves at [him]? He responded,

“I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick.”


Let’s just say people were not happy. Twitter folks were on they’re Kanye tip…CAPS-LOCK ranting and all. Check out some of folks responses on the homie’s Necole Bitchie site.

Shortly after John Mayer tweeted,

Then he took it to the stage, where he broke down.


“In the quest to be clever, I completely forgot about the people that I love and the people that love me…I quit the media game. I’m out. I’m done. I just want to play my guitar.”. He also assured the audience that his band and background singers (which are black) were not on the stage because they condoned what he said, but because they supported his growth as an artist.”


Realtalk John Mayer is a funny dude, very raw and basically what you see is what you get type of person…I highly doubt he’s a racist or the demon people are making him out to be. Yeah, it was wrong for him to use the “n” word but then again why are people using “hood pass”…that’s just as derogatory. John just suffered a brief moment of diarrhea of the mouth. It happens to everyone. When you give a word like the “n” word such power then of course you’ll be offended.

THOUGHTS?!

Over the weekend, our fav. songstress Melanie Fiona was locked up in her apartment sick as a dog. Nonetheless she OD’d on some tea and got on the web cam to belt out her rendition of Bob Marley’s song “Redemption Song”…the same song Rihanna butchered on The Oprah Show last week. Check the clips below and you be the judge.



Ya already know…Melanie on any day trumps Rihanna!

Str8NYC.com x JumpOff.TV production team up to bring you 2009′s Top RnB Beefs.

5. Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon vs. Eminem: Remember Nick fired back at Em for his MiMi diss on “Bagpipes from Bagdad”, then MiMi dropped “Obsessed” which she claims ain’t about Em. Em got extra tight and threatened to release nude pics of MiMi. Nick then took it to twitter and got all thugged out…Really?
4. Trey Songz vs, R.Kelly- While promoting his “Ready” album, Trey started feelin’ himself extra hard and went in on Kelz about his use of auto-tune. Least to say Kelz was not happy!
3. Keri Hilson vs. Beyonce & Ciara - Miss Keri got tired of playing the background and went off on her hit “Turnin me on” remix on what folks say is Beyonce & Ciara on. Keri spits the following ambiguous lines “you can dance, she can sing but need to move it TO THE LEFT” i been putting you on just check the credits hoe…WOW!
2. Mashonda v Alicia Keys over Swizz Beatz- The internets went bananas when it was discovered Alicia Keys was a humanitarian turned home wrecker. According to Mashonda, Alicia overstepped her boundaries and stole her boo Swizz Beatz. Mashonda has taken shots at Alicia via twitter and on diss tracks. Alicia has yet to respond. Most recently Mashonda & Swizz got into a lil’ twitter beef themselves…not cute!
1. Etta James vs. Beyonce- This beef went all the way to the White House! Etta James was not at all thrilled Beyonce sang her song “At Last” at President Obama’s inauguration ball. Etta went off on Bey at a concert: “.. I can’t stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there onbig ol’ president day, gonna be singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.”
Well there it is folks, that’s our round up of 2009′s Top RnB Beefs…did we miss any? Speak on it…
