1st???????????

I’d like to thank everyone for the honor of being first on my fav black gossip site. I should be doing my homework but YBF is like crack.

2nd

First!!!!

everyone before should have said LATE……….. That MAN jigga is a Business- MAN………….. Keep it up Jigga the album is hot. I like the the song and i know the video is going to be flyyyyyyyy. I just wish Amerie would get it together she could be really BIG.

I hope Girlfriends is good tonight because The Game has been killing them lately.

This is actually to the previous Nelly post:

Actually, Natasaha, I feel Nelly and he doesn’t need to stop (well, maybe stop the ignorant stuff all together). I read your site. I like it a lot. I told all my sisters about it. They like it too. But, I actually feel Nelly. Not just Halle, but many of the people that grace the cover of Essence do some pretty disgraceful things. It’s just a shame that we’re pit against one another like that, as to where it’s okay from Halle or Beyonce, but not for Nelly or Ludacris, then we’re forced to recognize it and fight over it. And on the Halle tip…she’s gorgeous, she’s got style; we glorify her. But why is the epitome of Black beauty a half-white woman? Please respond (anyone), I’m interested in the answer to that last question.

The epitome of black beauty has nothing to do with the fact that she is half white. She does not resemble a white woman nor does she ever claim to be one. A black woman is a black woman, regardless of whether or not they are “full-blooded” black…however you want to phrase it. Halle is beautiful. period. Who do you suggest be the epitome of beauty for black women? Just curious.

Sunshine,
I totally agree w/ u The Game is on point I can’t wait until it comes on 2night. I don’t know if Ms. Badu can even make me watch Girlfriends 2night.

Hummingbirdee,

I should be doing homework too, but I can’t stay off YBF. It’s like Starbucks your ass just keeps coming back for more! LOL!

Who is the BDAY Girl? She’s Beautiful. Her and Lyles look nice together….
Why is Chingy still putting out Albums???? I actually like the shirt tho lol
Jay looks FLY

Damn! Is it me or is Chingy looking like a fine grown a$$ man. I wasn’t even checking for Chingy!

Iliot, you may be color-blind, but America is not. Is is not unintentional the media play Halle Berry gets. Neither is it accidental that she is held as the epitome of beauty. Whites are subconsciously(hell, they know it) inferior and understand actual beauty but will not allow it come in the form of pure blackness. So they taint it and mix the features they like to “whiten” what they don’t, but secretly envy (evidence: plastic surgery, collagen). What you get is a mixed woman held as the quintessence of black, when she is not. Yes, she’s is absolutely gorgeous. But you have to understand her for what she is. Black (for lack of better word) is beautiful in whatever context or quantity. There is no one single woman (other than Eve, perhaps) who is the epitome of beauty for black women. We all are.

When I’m in a room full of black people, all I can think is how beautiful we are. I don’t care what shade they are, due to circumstances in our past we are all mixed w/something no matter how far back it is. That is why we come in so many shades.

Hummingbird you are so right about this page, I’m back on because my show is on commercial. Is that sad or what?

Boring… *yawns*

Oh yeh Mel Mel I agree about Girlfriends. i wanna know what you think after our show go off.

MajorKnuckles you know u like chocolate, that’s why you’re always hanging out with us girls. Just admit it.

Isn’t Jay-Z, hustler extroidinaire, much too old to be wearing that outfit? There are ways to dress casually and still look like a professional quickly approaching midlle aged man.

I’m so tired of this talk about Halle Berry.Halle is not black she is BIRACIAL.as much as she has black blood in her,she also has white.its pure ignorance to say that woman is black when she has 50% of white blood in her.
I’ve read some interviews with that woman and she has claimed she’s black,biracial,tanned whatever.growing up biracial isnt easy,I know I’m biracial too,but at the end of the day that woman is B-I-R-A-C-I-A-L.

Back in the day I used to stan for Erykah. Now I think Badu is a bi-polar gimmick. Everyweek you see her with a strange outfit on; tryna outdo her latest foolywang getup. She was wack on “Girlfriends” BTW. Girlfriends is about to get straight cut next year; that show is the ultimate *yawn*.

can we move past halle/biracial people/being black and talk about THIS post (and take this discussion to the ybf forums), now…
seeing erykah badu on girlfriends is making me really yearn for a new badu album. ain’t nobody out there like her, quirky hair/glasses and all. i’ll take erykah over ashanti, beyonce, amerie, & mya ANYDAY.

I am going to need Jigga to dress like he’s about to be 40 or is he already 40??? The shoes untied w/the tongue flapping, bandana around his neck come on now……

there is no past history of a 40 year old rapper, so what should he be dressing like? he’s not trying to peak the interest of the 40-50 year old crowd. he is still trying to get the attention of the 106 & park / trl crowd, so in that case he is dressed appropriately. he isn’t at a business meeting he is rapping. what do u think he should be rapping in khakis?? come on, he’s a MC, he’s dressing like an MC. has anyone seen the way ll cool j been dressing lately and they are about the same age.

I agree that “girlfreinds” is boring. I wish they would have brougt back “all of us” After watching that show for a few years, I was finally happy to see Nese and Robert agreeing to make another baby.

Alesha muthave been saving up her money for new birthday outfit..she almost looks cute. I love Badu….whats up Dallas 3×0x0x?

Okay ladies, i have problem. This holiday is killing me. If I was at work today I would not be posting so much, but I am really bored and I still have an hour before Girlfriends comes on. All of you will be sleep before I see it. Where are all my west coast women?

Is Jay-Z on that Def Jam diet again? Dude is looking slim & trim.

Chingy will never be hot to me. He has great singles…but attractive? Nah.

Yeah I love chocolate, the type of chocolate that you girls have between your legs and that’s about it. Maybe I’m always around here hoping to score with one of you ladies, as you say, “hanging out”, in that case it looks like you win the prize Sunshine.. I’m going to prepare something real nice and sweet for you, I hope that you like #7 at TacoBells.

We are beautiful, however, they are mixed with us, not the other way around. We are the originals! Why get a copy, when you have the original, because the copy hates the original.

That’s cute MajorKnuckles, but let me remind you my name is not Luenell, you can’t pay me for my services. Also Taco Bell is not on the menu for me.You won’t see me on a KKK site. So why are you here. Yes I understand you may be confused. You are so intrigued w/ black women. Let go and let flow. You love us. Do you even know what you believe?

Promise, I feel ya but I am not even an original. My great great grandmother was raped by I white man, that is the only reason I am not dark skinned. Those are the circumstances I spoke of.

I’ve been looking all over the net for these party pics. Thanks Natasha! LOL@ Eryka Badu’s new look. It’s sooo….Eryka

I don’t know why people are bringing up Halle Berry when she’s no where to be found on this post. But since you brought it up….she is Black!

I learned in GRADE SCHOOL that the AFRICAN GENE IS DOMINANT!!!

So can ya’ll get over it and stay on topic please?

Hey Natasha. Look for me in Raheem’s video. I’m the pregnant chick towards the beginning.

I have some choice words for you Ms. Harlem Chic: First, Erykah may dress and act out of sorts to you, but that’s her style and choice just like I’m sure that you have your own style. We do have choices in America and maybe she doesn’t want to look, sound and act like everyone else….that’s her freedom of choice! That’s why she is unique. Furthermore, she has tremendous talent. You can’t knock her live performances…she may not have the warddrobe or lighting that Beyaki and them have but her show is all the way live and when you leave you feel good!!!! For that fact alone, Ms. Badu should be celebrated! Stop hating on Ms. Badu!!!! She is way better than some of these commercialized, non-singing, back-stabbing Beyaki’s of today!!!!

Could someone PLEASE let me know when people are gonna stop sleepin on tha truth….Also known as Raheem DaVaugh! Thanks!!!!

I had NO IDEA that Golden Brooks was writing episodes for Girlfriends! I knew it HAD to be more than Kelsey Grammer! LOL!

Maybe I’m getting old or just not keeping up…I don’t know who any of those people are at that party!!!!! But they all look cute though! No foolywang going on.
And yes, Raheem is the business!!!!!

Agree…Jigga needs to be foolywang of the week with that look. Give it up you are not an 80’s baby…Hell your not even a 70’s baby. Dress your damn age and stop with the highschool sh*t. I am feelin the album though. Oh Tash who are these C-listers party pics you post. Real celebs please!!

Damn the only pic I can see is Joe Camel’s…how nice :thumbsdown:

I saw Raheem’s new video this weekend. I was already in love with the song, now I love it even more. The video is done really tasteful and it is a welcome change to see and hear a song that uplifts sistahs instead of degrading them.

YES HALLE BERRY DOES RESEMBLE A WHITE WOMEN. SHE HAS WHITE FEATURES. NOT TRADITIONAL BLACK ONES! SO I DO AGREE ON THAT ASPECT. BUT SHE IS STILL NOT DOING WHAT WHACK ASS NELLY IS!

~~Hello YBF!!
~~Alesha Renee looks good. She doesn’t always look that good. I’m so proud of her. Happy Birthday Girl!!!!

-I am also mad at the flannish shirt on Chingy. UM UM UM! But Natasha, you trippen this man has been fine.

jay-z needs to dress his age he looks re damn diculous lol

Uh, can someone just tell me where Alesha renee got that cake from?! That mess looks good!

Raheem is truly illustrating how black women should be represented in videos. Those women are strong, beautiful and sexy, all without being “objectified.” That’s how to represent for women and how to be real women!

That cake does look good!! & I agree with KayKay, J does need 2 dress his age!! I hate that teen look on a grown azz man!! Chingy is aight but fine, nah. I do not like that song….

Okay so someone told me that it was a red velvet cake. What the heck is a red velvet cake?

Jay Looks Like the light-skinted version of Lebron James in that last picture

lmfao!!!!!

Nycole I agree. Erykah’s voice is amazing. I love the fact that she just does her thing and could care what others think. Erykah you ROCK!

Girl Stop, Chingy is more than ALRIGHT, he is that deal. You can’t deny that!!! Besides, who cares about the song, focus on that piece of man-candy named Howard

Could someone please tell me what kind of shoes those are that Jay Z has on?

Fez I agree we have been taught white is right forever. But Halle nor do any mixed race children ask to be here. We can’t change the world or anyone’s view of us. So love you in all your blackness and move on sweetie and enjoy life.

iliot, Halle Berry is a beautiful woman but she is not the epitome of black beauty. For me anyway. I’ve always thought Lauryn Hill ( I know Miss Lauryn is going through some ish right now but she’s strong) is the epitome of black beauty with that dark skin, those thick lips and the nappy hair. I’ve always respected her decision not to straighten/relax or hair or wear a weave. I would hold her up as the epitome. But thats just me. Each to their own.
On another note, Jigga’s swagger is ridiculous!

Do you even know what you are talking about? And to think that they say drinking and driving don’t mix.. lay off the 40’s before you hit the Internet next time.

Halle had a black nose….but she sho switched that shit up quick didn’t she?

*sigh*

All who believe Chingy should go back where he came from say “Aye”…

The Ayes have it…

Feat Amerie?! Nobody’s been excited about either of them since 05… it’s almost 08. Mediocre+ Mediocre doesn’t equal something I wanna hear. SMH.

Chingy looks like Young MC in that first pic with the flannel shirt.

what is the obession with being first?

Please respond (anyone), I’m interested in the answer to that last question.

I am from England, but also very concerned as to how the media portrays black women. I do believe that people with parents from two different races should be considered black is incorrect. The media has created this notion, to please themselves, however we should remember that by glorifying women such as Halle as black, this further alienates true black women from being recognised for whom we truly are. Once mixed race people become black, then what do ‘black women’ become?? Society is leaning towards the notion that it is ok to be of mixed appearance, such as your Beyonce’s, Amerie’s etc and labelled as black because at the most basic levels they do not want pure black women to succeed. Whats even more worrying is the black man’s role in this very damaging trend, which has the potential to really create problems for the self esteem of our young black sisters. All responses will be appreciated.

I agree with a lot of what Ldn callin is saying. Young black girls have always endured this problem, except that it used to really be only white women on the covers of magazines. Even the powerful Oprah Winfrey mentioned wanting a smaller nose as a girl becaue of the images of the white standard of beauty that she was constantly bombarded with. Why are ethnic features always something that has to be repressed or beaten back? Why must black hair be straightened or dyed some strange shade of blonde? Why can’t the dark girl be the love interest in the music video (she’s usually cut off at the waist and reduced to shaking her *ss). The worst part is that black media is using its platform to perpetuate these images of whiteness, instead of shattering or challenging this out-of-date beauty standard. It’s like some kind of self-hatred.

Whoever it was that said that Beyonce, or “Beyaki” as they called her, can’t sing is a liar for real. Commercialized? Yes. Back-stabbing? Maybe. But not being able to sing? That is definitely NOT what it is. Why do we have to put down one artist in order to lift another artist up? Erykah is talented. Very talented. But it’s like people feel they have to prove how “real” they are by putting down the commercial music in favor of the Erykahs and the Lauryns.

As for the race issue, I don’t know if it’s still this way now, but in the past, in the US, for purposes of the census if you even had like 5% black in you, then you were considered black. So it’s not as though the media just concocted this plan to deny black women their due. It’s just the way this country is and has been. I think that Halle Berry is beautiful, but I don’t feel that she is the epitome of black beauty. I don’t think there should be an epitome of beauty in any race. This is why people have eating disorders and have plastic surgery. They’re trying to keep up with someone who is the epitome of beauty for their particular race. I agree with the person who said that we are all the epitome of black beauty. If there were a darker person with ethnic features that we considered the “epitome” of beauty, then there would be all these women out there trying to see how they could be darker, how they could have a bigger nose and fuller lips. Everything would just shift from trying to be light-skinned to trying to be dark-skinned. We should all just try to be the most beautiful people inside and out that we can be.

Alesha Rene looks tooo cute. Her hair is too cute and she looks so polished!
