GETTIN' IT IN'

It's hump day Wed. and the talk of the town tonite has been on the Chris Brown interview.. I noticed everyone tweeting on the subject matter while I was out having dinner with my heart. Anyhow, looks like he basically went completely around answering the questions..what was your take on it?

Should we forgive him and move forward..In my eyes I say everyone makes mistakes, even big time celebrities at the end of the day they are human beings no matter how we raise them and put them on a petastool often times. The man is going to serve the penalities and lose a lot of money in the process. ( Who are we kidding he has already lost a lot of money).. anyhow is a clip from CNN IF YOU DIDN'T CATCH IT TONIGHT...




JAY Z TALKING TO OPRAH?





WORD IS THAT OPRAH HAD AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JAY Z AND IT'S GOIN IN OPRAH'S O MAGAZINE..SO YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE UP IN SALES... I HAVE BLUE PRINT 3 ALREADY AND IT'S OKAY ..LETS SEE I WOULD GIVE IT 3 OUT OF 5. I'M NOT YOUR BIGGEST JAY Z FAN..but he does deliver a msg behind his songs unlike so many others in the industry today... Oprah is said to get Jay Z to talk about his marriage to Beyonce..we are dying to hear about this.. HERE'S A SNEEK PEAK AT THE INTERVIEW COURTESY OF YBF

Oprah’s people have posted a sneak peek of her and Jay-Z’s interview that will be published in the October issue of O magazine. Here it is:

At 13 he was selling crack. By 30 he was a hip-hop legend—having gone, in his words, “from grams to Grammys.” Now Jay-Z charts his escape from the hard-knock life, describes the reunion that healed the wounds of his childhood—and even reveals the standing Sunday date he has with what’s her name.

The complete interview will be available in the October 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, on newsstands September 15th. Get a first look right here.

Oprah: So tell me how you got into the drug dealing.

Jay-Z: It was natural.…

Oprah: Because drug dealers were your role models. There wasn’t a teacher or a lawyer or a nurse or a doctor or an accountant in the neighborhood?

Jay-Z: Well, we were living in Marcy by then, so, no. And if anyone did become something like that, they moved out. They never came back to share the wisdom of how they made it. If anyone made it, you never knew it. That’s why I’ve always said that if I became successful, I’d come back here, grab somebody, and show him how it can be done.

Oprah: So by the time you were 13, this was a way of life. Did the lifestyle frighten you?

Jay-Z: No. It was normal. And at some point, you become addicted to the feeling. The uncertainty and adrenaline and danger of that lifestyle.

Oprah: This is where we differ. This is where we differ. Because I’d be very scared! Weren’t you shot at three times—within six feet—and you lived to talk about it?

Jay-Z: That was divine intervention. Divine intervention, and nobody knowing how to shoot.

Oprah: What happened in each situation?

Jay-Z: It was one situation, three shots.

Oprah: So he was a bad shot.

Jay-Z: Well, no one really practices shooting a TEC-9 machine gun, right? And when you’re a kid, with little bony arms—no wonder nobody could aim.

Oprah: Many of the little boys who grew up in the Marcy projects are either in jail or dead. Why do you think you got to grow up and buy your mom a house?

Jay-Z: There’s the gift, there’s the spirit, and there’s the work—all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be.

Oprah: When I met you a few years ago, we discussed our disagreement over the use of the N word and misogynist lyrics in rap music. Do you believe that using the N word is necessary?

Jay-Z: Nothing is necessary. It’s just become part of the way we communicate. My generation hasn’t had the same experience with that word that generations of people before us had. We weren’t so close to the pain. So in our way, we disarmed the word. We took the fire pin out of the grenade.

Hey everybody! I know I have been absence for quite some time now..just had a lot of things going on with me lately. I'm going through the motions this week and facing a hair dilemma..trying to figure out what I want to do with my hair lately..Natural or Perm..I have had Perm since I was little one ...I like my hair to be straight and glam at all times when necessary, however I have been trying this natural thing..but I don't know if I will survive it and run back to my perm. At any rate, I had my hair done over the weekend, it was nice sew in curly..however Sunday night it was itching so bad and hurting me that I didn't sleep good. Monday night was the last straw for me I tried to spray my hair down and grease my scalp, but I felt like my hair was on fire..so of COURSE I HAD TO TAKE IT DOWN! NOW I'm dealing with my hair again and trying to decide what to do next.. I have been rocking my hats this week..until I figure out the next thing I wanna do with my hair.. but anyhow enough about that let's get on to the blog...
