• The middle son of the Simmons clan has joined the ranks of professional rapper. Yes he got flow. Everybody should be on the watch for this petite hottie, because if you turn your head long enough you might miss a growth spurt that’ll push him into the spotlight Bow Wow used to hold down. WIT: though the kid is good, it’s got to be a damn SMH moment for the family considering the eldest boy (JoJo) attempted a rap career first but was convincingly not talented. I guess he expected that his dad and his uncle’s coat tails combined would be long enough to carry him. He thought wrong. Now lil Diggy is gunnin for him and the rest of the genre at full speed ahead and even Diggy knows it. He said in ‘What They Been Waitin For’, “becuz I’m young articulate and very different…even the old heads diggin it”…go ‘head Diggy. (I just like this song~ aww shoot!)
• That damn video! Have you seen it? The one where she’s grinding the mutheffin floor in the first 30 seconds as if a man was actually beneath her legs. I mean it’s one thing to watch those particular fools at the club, that feel compelled to do that sometimes on the dance floor, but really Ciara? WIT: In Ciara’s newest video for her song ‘Ride’, she’s obviously trying to achieve the same (if not higher) recognition that she did when she dropped the ‘Promise’ and ‘Like A Boy’ videos back in ’07. My thing is, there is nothing wrong with wanting to regain your famed position, but do you really need to do it at the expense of your dignity? Grinding on the floor in spandex leggings and standing legs wide open above Ludacris’ head in a revealing one-piece bathing suit is a little extreme. And the pivotal part where she literally rides a mechanical bull to the beat of the track…geez.
• But for the videos that I do approve of for the week would be Alicia Keys’ ‘Unthinkable (I’m Ready)’ and Drake’s ‘Find Your Love’—hands down. WIT: Alicia, considering that you’ve been greatly distracted by that boo of yours (and being with child counts), most of the CD you just dropped wasn’t the best of your work…BUT that song ‘Unthinkable’…man! Just great, and happily you failed to disappoint with an equally matching good video to accompany the song. Co-starring Chad Michael Murray and a theme of decades worth of tested love, I gotta say, bravo. As for you Mr. Drizzy, since your celebrity all rests on the most anticipated album drop of the year, so far you’re doing good with your single releases. ‘Over’ was good, ‘Find Your Love’ is better, things should only get great from here—that’s the hope anyway. It’s obvious that the lesson you’re learning from this quick climb up is that you have to have greats on your side to better enhance what you’ve been shielding the world from. For example, employing Kanye is genius, basically because, well he is. Therefore I’m pleased; so don’t mess up.
• Apparently Usher has figured out how to be the best storyteller. He took his life, ever since 8701 and gave us descriptive play by plays of how his most public relationships between Chili and Tomeka went down. Of course we didn’t really take note until the obliviousness of his infidelity with Chili went public and gave him coincidentally mega stardom in Confessions. WIT: Something that all the other unfaithful celebrities failed to figure out, was to take your indiscretions and make them work for you—cash 'em in. Usher confessed to cheating and supposedly creating a child out of wedlock with his mistress and got a multi-platinum status as an artist. So now the story continues in Raymond v. Raymond. Usher again figured we’d wanna know what went down between him and his now ex-wife, so who better to serenade us about it than Usher himself. Another thing Usher was good at figuring; how to use the new “pop” sound of the era and combine it with the usual recipe for a profitable R&B album. Good work, you have now been proclaimed as a Veteran to the game.
