POET ETHERS NICKI MINAJ: THE MISEDUCATION OF A BARBIE DOLL

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.

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…

FOXY BROWN DENIES FIGHTS & BEING A HOOD B*TCH!

MTV’s own Sway recently sat down with the Don Diva herself, Foxy Brown to address her shitty behavior and bk attitude. Her response…well she basically plays the blame game and points the finger at the media. Really Foxy?! C’mon birdie…you’ve been on this hood mess for years. You’re fake Valley girl accent fools no one…TRY AGAIN!

Here she is denying the fight and “mooning” her neighbor.

Birds will be birds…regardless of the Gucci and Prada!

LAURYN HILL COMES BACK TO REIGN SUPREME?!

Now that Lauryn Hill is scheming on a comeback, should Nicki Minaj (today’s hottest female rapper) start packing her bags and exit stage left?! Is Lboogie, the queen, really back and ready to reign supreme?! Or is Lauryn Hill just smoke and mirrors, doing shows, and leaving us wanting more? Check out the debate HERE. While we contemplate if Ms.Hill is really here to stay, check her out shut it down in Rwanda for the 7th Pan-African Dance and Music Festival (FESPAD) yesterday.

STR8 TALK: FOXY BROWN, EXPLAIN THE F*CKERY?!

STR8 TALK: FOXY BROWN, EXPLAIN THE F*CKERY?!

Words by Zunnania

Okay! What is the deal with Foxy Brown? I’m just so confused! How should I start this post?… probably from the beginning. Like many of you, I loved her the moment Foxy Boogie Brown came out! Loved her fake Jamaican accent songs! Loved “The Firm” collaboration. Loved that Jay-Z loved her. Loved that she came from Brooklyn. Loved that I knew people- that new people- that knew her. Foxy, unlike Kim (who I also love) was real and accessible. It felt like, I could have gone to school with someone like that. She was in a sense, “The Girl Next Door” or rather, “The Girl Down The Block”. I’m even inclined to believe that she possibly wrote some of her lyrics. To me, she could have been the next Queen Latifiah… okay wait; maybe I’ve gone too far! But, she could have at least been the next Eve. Acting career, makeup endorsements, and Ill Na Na fashion line! Some call her a bird, but she’s a bird that has staying power. Or rather, she HAD staying power. Now foxy is -dare I say it- on her way out. Out, like Charlie. Out, like Amil-lion! Instead of making raps, diss tracks, mixtapes… or attacking Nicki Minaj for the pr, she has:

Earned 80 Hours of community service for spitting on two hotel workers in ’97

Pulled a Whitney, Britney and Lindsay, going in and out of rehab in 2000

Crashed a Range Rover in Flatbush (yes Flatbush, that’s why I love her) Brooklyn, and thus arrested for driving without a license in the same year (2000)

Banned from Jamaica after she tried to evade a body search at the airport and punched a policewoman in the stomach in 2002

Pulled a Naomi by attacking two manicurists over 20 dollars. Received 3 years of probation and ordered to take anger management.
After expecting female rapper Jacki-O to bow down to Fox, a fight broke out at a radio station in Miami.
We all felt bad (well at least I did) when Foxy loss her hearing in 2005. But, then she assaulted a beauty supply store employee and plead guilty in 2007, and followed that up with throwing a Blackberry at a neighbor and almost running over a stroller with a BABY in it! A BABY in it!

Then sent to jail in ‘O7 for violating her probation, got into a prison fight, cursed out the correction officers and sent to solitary confinement.

Now, I can’t really blame her for any of what happened in jail, because that is my strategy if I ever get locked up.
I know there are two sides to every story and if someone comb through our lives with a microscope, we would all seem like we need to be locked up in an insane asylum. BUT, when you are famous you have access to not only money, but also the best pr and marketing agents in the world. Your team of experts would be able to spin whatever craziness into a justified and somewhat relate-able story. And even if the world doesn’t buy it-your fans will. Now as I stated in the beginning of the post, I’m a fan! And I’m not buying it! It has been two years since she’s been out of jail. But recently (July 22, 2010), Foxy decided to visit her arch-enemy (who already had a order of protection on her) and according to reports cursed her out and even mooned her. Out on $5,000 bail, Foxy just preformed at BB Kings. To which she attested to in court this morning by telling the judge and the entire courtroom:
“We just had a sold out concert at BB King’s,” she added. “LeBron James couldn’t make it, but I’m here.”

We’ll what other “great” antics Ms. Inga will pull before her next court date scheduled for January 28, 2011.

As far as her performance at BB Kings, I have one thing to say…what the hell is she wearing?!!!! Realtalk, I love me some Foxy, but she needs to lay low for a bit, fire the people on her team including her stylist and PR, and develop a comeback strategy. Idk, do something…

I’m just disappointed and confused, can someone explain? Foxy where you at?!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: FOXY BROWN GETS BUSTED…AGAIN!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: FOXY BROWN GETS BUSTED…AGAIN!

Fox Boogie Brown is pulling all the stops for a comeback…even if it means acting like a hood rat. She was recently arrested for starting up some mess and unleashing a curse-filled tirade against her nemesis Arlene Raymond…the same chick she beat up with a Blackberry almost three years ago. According to the NYPost,

Foxy “was strutting” below Raymond’s window, said one neighbor who asked not to be identified.

“She stuck her butt out, in a kiss-my-butt kind of way,” that neighbor said. “She was doing a lot of screaming.”

Foxy called Raymond a “f- – -king bitch” from the street and then snarled: “I’m going to f- – k you up!” the neighbor said.

Raymond called cops, and three cruisers quickly rolled up to the scene on the quiet block lined with brownstones.

A frustrated and fuming Raymond was overheard telling officers, “This has been going on since 2007!”

After being put into a police cruiser, “Foxy was sitting calmly in the back seat. She looked upset,” said Didi Brewster, a bystander.

Brown was hauled off for violating a still-active order of protection obtained by Raymond.

Hours later, as she was walked out of the 77th Precinct station house, the rapper threw a fit, screaming and repeatedly stopping in a huff as cops struggled to lead her to the van headed to central booking.

What can we say…”you can take the girl outta the hood, but ya can’t take the hood outta the girl.”…Inga will never learn! Her antics are getting so scripted…perfect for reality tv.
***UPDATE***
Here’s footage of Foxy’s perp walk to precint.

FOXY BROWN= FUCKERY!

STR8 BEEF: LIL’ KIM ON NICKI MINAJ JACKIN’ HER STYLE!

STR8 BEEF: LIL’ KIM ON NICKI MINAJ JACKIN’ HER STYLE!

Lil’ Kim took to Kendra G’s radio show to talk about how Nicki Minaj jacked her style.

“When I came out to do this promo tour, it was a reminder to let everybody know where it came from. If you’re gonna swagger jack somebody and take their style at least pay them respect and homage. Don’t try to act like you created this and acted like you’re not a fan and disrespect me in interviews. C’mon man! “

Glad to see Lil’ Kim isn’t holding her tongue…but being that she’s got some new material in the works and ready to put out a new single in July- we can’t help but wonder is this all a publicity stunt? Some staged cat fight?!

STR8 BEEF: DRAKE PRAISES NICKI + JUMPS ON LIL’ KIM DISS

Nicki Minaj and Drake performed “BedRock” at Hot 93.7′s Hot Jam in Hartford, CT recently. Shortly after Drake’s set, he took a moment to praise Nicki on her “greatness” while simultaneously shut Lil’ Kim and all femecees down!

“Can I say something in front of Hartford?…I just want to say that you are the baddest woman to EVER do this rap shit…I don’t give a fuck what Lil’ Kim and nobody else is talking about. You are the baddest the chick to ever do this shit!”

WOW! These youngn’s really need lay off that hype juice. Nicki Minaj is just a recycled version of Lil’ Kim…PERIOD! Drake is not one to talk…NO WAY! These fools need to pay respect to a veteran…put them in their place. RESPECT! People really need stop comparing their images and focus on the rhymes…who brings the heat and who does not?!
