I neither don’t understand why anybody would have anything bad to say about her.

[quote comment="42429"]India Arie syndrome ? WTF..India Arie has such a fabulous soul..I don't understand why anybody would have anything bad to say about her..I hate to say this..but if India Arie was light skinned, people would be giving her more props...its a dang shame..Whoopi and India Arie are two different kinds of people..India Arie has more pride and respect for herself than most of the singers out now..[/quote] um.. that was her entire point, the fact that people are snubbed if they dont fit an ideal of beauty. you're not very bright.

I cant wait for trty and j holiday to come to bmore on friday. I am def going. I love trey songz. he so sexy, he can mos def get it...his body is on point..dont need to change a thang.

[quote comment="42422"]With regards to Whoppi...too little too late!! They wouldn't have forgotten about her if she looked like Vanessa Williams. It's the India Arie syndrome. What a damn shame.[/quote] I agree. Hollywood ain't feeling darker skinned sistas with natural hairdo's. I can tell you aren't dissing India I'm a fan of hers and I know she has not had as much success b/c she is not light and she won't sell out. She keeps it real. Alicia Keys came out the same time as India and you see who is shining? Alicia. Not to take anything from Alicia, both ladies are SUPER talented. Thats the problem with Whoopi...people would be more acceptable if she was lighter with weave... Don't get mad YBFer's JMO!!!!

Trey Songz could get it any day! I kinda like Trina's new song even though she can't rap

Damn u Jay-Z! Another Hit? I've loved this song for months now! I'm in love w/the Jigga-Man all ovah again!!!!!! He sounds so sexy and sauve on this track.

when did j.holiday got to jail? these men must love going to jail! but he still fine though!

i like the video....zoe looks very pretty and would be a good actress.

[quote comment="42522"]*yawn* over this whole whoopi nonsense. why is everyone else beefing if she isn't? ...making a big "to do" over nonsense cheapens and weakens the struggle, and makes us look like overly sensitive, perpetual whiners. it's no wonder YT doesn't respect and take us seriously.[/quote] But is it really "nonsense"? The Oscars is part of the fabric of film and has become a historic event. This year, they were focusing on its 80 year history and for each segment, they focused on all who contributed to its history. Whoopi is part of its "hosting" history, and if they were acknowledging all members who hosted, she should have been there, regardless of whether she was later acknowledged for her acting. Those of you saying she should get over it because she was later given her props for acting...I'm sorry, but I don't agree. We ALL want to be acknowledged for the roles we serve in life--whether mother, wife, sister or whatever, and I think Whoopi (and her co-hosts) are in the right to say that she was not recognized (especially as she was the first female, black at that, to host the show) and that was wrong. She wasn't whining. Wanting to be acknowledged IS part of the struggle because not being given credit for our contributions leads to being dismissed, or worst yet, forgotten.

[quote comment="42507"]Thank you franso!!!! I could not see a thing! What was the concept? I thought for a second I understood it. She was missing her man and thinking of their past, then all I saw was darkness until the end with the red and yellow light. I hope this is not the final cut, if so, BOOOOOOOO![/quote] "I Know" is about drugs and getting high. His song is not about a man and a woman; he's talking as though he is the drug. She is high in the video...

OKAY..."I KNOW" is a HOT song...damn near perfect! This video however??? WHAT!?!

i'm a true Jay Fan, but that video was WACK. I didnt get the story line at all..and the floating, lights, smoke out of her mouth....um maybe i should go "roll a tight one" and try again.

He is not rappin as a man. He's rappin as though he is heroin. She is high. She's a dope fiend- hense the hair; being paranoid when the car passes; standing on a street corner. The only places she looks half normal is when she is high- which is what most people on drugs believe- reference good old rehab Amy. When she does see the guy, he is faceless- probably because they couldn't show her actually shootin up in the video and have it make TV. Man=Drugs=what she likes and loves. Then it clips back to her being high. Watch it again and catch the metaphors...

[quote comment="42500"]I love Jay-z and that song but that video wuz too dark and didn't make any sense.[/quote] [quote comment="42530"]i'm a true Jay Fan, but that video was WACK.

the kEISHA +Trina song is hot with out chicken head ass Trina, and I love Jay z but the video is just as vague as Kanye's video. Sometimes videos should depict exactly what we hear...damn I'm tight now.

[quote comment="42522"]*yawn* over this whole whoopi nonsense. why is everyone else beefing if she isn't? sherry brought it up on the view - not whoopi. she seemed a little uncomfortable with the entire topic. and she didn't cry because she got "snubbed." she cried because she was touched by her co-host's concern and compliments. there are much more important issues facing black americans. making a big "to do" over nonsense cheapens and weakens the struggle, and makes us look like overly sensitive, perpetual whiners. it's no wonder YT doesn't respect and take us seriously.[/quote] Thank you! Mocha, you're a genius. I completely agree. Although I did think that whole segment on The View felt a little staged. I think it was definitely talked about naturally in the makeup room before the show, and then happened again on air to force an apology.

I love keyshia cole... This is all her u should make a new ablum already

[quote comment="42561"]I love Zoe Kravitz (no Dana Owens here) LOl...you wrong for that! the trina & keyshia song is cool,(mainly because of keyshia)

Like you better get help But when that medicine's felt? We're back together Don't ever leave me Don't ever let 'em tell you that you'll never need me My China White, 'til we D.O.A. Its Montego forever, baby, lets get away.... And I Know And I Know And I Know And I Know And I Know And I Know And I Know And I Know ..lol but let me not front like I knew that….my friend made me listen to the words closely last week and when I saw the video I was like OOOOOOOOHHHH ….lol[/quote] THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP TK. CAN WE GET SOME REAL JAYZ FANS UP IN HERE. Did y'all peep Lupe Fiasco in the background on the Trey Songs (w/o his shirt) pic?

I'm not a Jay-Z c**k sucker and even I got the heron metaphor geesh! Trey Songz is a sexy lil skinny thang. KeyKey don't ruin your career co-signing for Trina. You're finally reaching top status for goodness.
