For some reason, I like this guy and I love the way he throws shade (articulately and with class).

I'm mad at y'all.

He kinda reminds me of Nicki Minaj. #NoShade

Those fine ass molestees boys who were molested were trying to sue Eddie Long strictly because the gifts stopped coming. The gifts were to keep them quiet while Eddie had his way with them. Now that the gifts stop coming, you want to sue? You can't have your cake and eat it too. The law doesn't work like that.

Yes ma'am. Yes, they were.

Eddie had no legal recourse because the pretenses of his lawsuit are built on slander and/or libel if you will. In this situation, the counsel would have to prove that what the boys were saying was untrue, which meant the counsel would have to prove that Eddie wasn't paying them boys off with gifts. The defense counsel would argue that Eddie long DID pay off the boys. It's nothing but a case full of circular arguments that would ultimately go nowhere. If they came in my courtroom I'd tell them to STFU and show me videos of this alleged rape So neither of them have legal recourse. Hence the "let's have mediation". OBVIOUS form of a plea bargain on behalf of Eddie.

Right. There was no rape. I agree with that. But there WAS sex. That's what Eddie doesn't want to get out.

[Law student voice] Figures. None of them had ANY legal recourse. [/law student voice]

But they weren't ever banking on the law. They were banking, quite literally, on the fact that Eddie Long doesn't want any evidence whatsoever to surface that will prove he's been having sex with men. Mediation is not public. A trial would have been.

Oh, wow. I am so sorry to hear that.

Carnal Knowledge

Slick Willy in full effect.

Remember how Eddie Long got up in front of his church and vowed that he would be vindicated not only in the court of Jesus, but also in the court of law?

Well, he's changed his mind. He's opted for mediation instead--like most guilty parties do.

It's a crafty move on his part as the proceedings of mediations are not for public consumption. Therefore, we'll never get to hear the seedy details of Long exploits with these young men, and neither will the parishioners of his church. So, he'll be able to go on feigning heterosexuality and castigating homosexuals without appearing to be the liar that he is. Because you know part oand parcel with any settlement these boys receive will be a gag order.

In any event, Anderson Cooper, of CNN's AC360, covers the story in the video below.

Okay, I can't think of ten, but I can think of a few that I liked:

"Deuces" by Chris Brown

"Say Something" by Drake

Holdin' You Down" by Jazmine Sullivan

"Bittersweet" by Fantasia

"Make Me" by Janet Jackson

Yeah, I saw it coming by the way he was looking at her after he walked her to her door on the first date.

Plus, he was a man in a Tyler Perry film, so I knew he had to be evil.

I can't think of 10 songs I liked this year. When was "Make Me" released?

And I hated pretty much everything on the radio, especially "Pretty Boy Swag" by Soulja Boy.

Grace Jones was so ahead of her time.

so does she get child support from randy? Did they have any kids?

Isn't that creepy that some of Jermaine and Randy's kids are both half-brothers and sisters AND first cousins at the same time?

"Jermajesty."

"I could never really take singing on the road the way I can take rapping on the road. I can't get on stage and blow people away with my range and vocals. I'm a studio singer because I can convey emotion and I have unique melodies, so that's kind of what I pride myself on, but that's where it stops. I make music more for people to listen to rather than to hold me as an R&B artist. Not to wish that I couldn't sing better. If I could sing like Trey [songz] then yeah, I'd definitely just want to be a singer. If I could do anything, trust me, I wish I could just sit at the piano and sing." (VIBE)

Just tell me where Janet is. That's all I really care about.

Does anyone know where I can find the short video teaser that Janet released to BET back in 1993 to promote her upcoming "That's the Way Loves Goes" video? In the video, Janet is off camera, but she's narrating the video as she introduces each of "the Kids." At one part she says, "This is Jennifer, Shawn and Nikki: three backed-up hoes."

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, is this teaser somewhere on the web?

Yes!

When I was 17, I did what people told me. Uh.

I can tell that this is what he really wants to do, be a singer. He seems to put a bit more passion into his lyrics and delivery when he sings. He's a nice lyricist and his flow is okay (can't stand that whole monotone/Wayne/Young Money vibe though) but the vocal, though not powerhouse or extremely amazing, is much more becoming of him. I also have to mention that dude sure can write an R&B song. "Fall For Your Type" is great...and "I'm Ready For You" (which is still an unclaimed demo for a female artist) is a BONAFIED SMASH HIT! Still my favorite song at the moment, I think he needs to just tweak the words a little bit and keep it for himself.

Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest, I'm listening to this satellite radio station, and they played 2 Drake songs back to back.

I'm so glad you said this because I feel the same way.

I think Drake's singing voice is very melodic. Although, he, himself, admitted that he is very much a studio singer, not a live singer and that his recorded vocal prowess is the result of technology.

However, I don't know if I can think of another rapper whose voice I find as annoying and nasal and tone-deaf as Drake's. Only, maybe Li'l Mama, but that's it.

"Get It And Go" > Nicki's album

Gurl that video is 18 minutes. Can we get the abridged version please?

I know, right????

I HATE when vloggers make videos over five minutes. Unless you're talking about how to cure diseases or end world hunger, there's no reason for an 18-minute YouTube video.

Funny!

I'm mad they had to mention she was from Florida twice.

I'm mad she said "worser."

The real news here is that Khia can't spell.

SHOTS FIRED! Khia Goes In On Nicki Minaj!Tuesday, 30 November 2010 13:45

Khia Disses Nicki Minaj

Although Nicki Minaj has gained much success with her debut release of Pink Friday, but not everyone is feeling the debut.

Florida rapstress Khia decided to review the album on her blog and let Nicki have it in what seemed more like a personal attack than an album review.

"This b**ch needs to be SHOT on site…" Khia wrote. "It smells WORSER than the gas that's coming out of my ASS, from all of the Turkey that I ate over the Thanksgiving weekend. Someone needs to give this B**CH a FLEET Enima and “FLUSH” her IMMEDIATELY, She is nothing but a “Ghostwritten”, Weezy-wannabe WHORE!"

Although Khia is most known for her single “My Neck, My Back”, the Floridian made it clear that she was the only one who controlled her image.

“Give me an album without any CAMEOS and then you can talk to the Queen….. Cuz I carry this shit on top of “My Neck and My Back,” Solo Hoe! Hell…….Even on top my head, fruit baskets and all!”

Before blasting Minaj track by track, Khia wanted fans to know that she is not a hater and that she earnestly attempted to show support by purchasing the album, which led to her dissatisfaction.

“I don't want to sound like a hater because I did go out and spend my $13.99 on this”Mop-flop” of an album, “Khia continued. “So hopefully this review will give this BLOW-UP doll a little more promotion….. They built this “Bear” right before our eyes! No hate intended…. Real Talk.”

Not just focusing on one area, Khia also moved her attack to Nicki's finances and deal with Young Money, claiming that Minaj, “wasn't making no money” off of the album due to executive producers and all of the work that went into the release.

"I can't believe I wasted my $13.99 on this BULL S**T, I told yall that it aint no damn Barbies in the hood," Khia said. "I can't wait for Matel to sue this b**tch for all of the $3.60 that she earned! When is this b**ch gonna learn that they stealing all of the money?"

Although the blog was centered around Nicki Minaj, Khia made sure to blast one more femcee before she ended her rant.

"By the way, I hear that Foxy Brown is a little upset with because you lied about the feud between Kim and you, but I think Foxy should concentrate on how Kim came and SNATCHED up her record deal! Wasn't it Fox Boogie Brown that was hanging tough with Jay Z back in the day?"

Khia taunted. "Is that the reason Foxy got soooooooo Big? Or was it THYROIDS, FIBROIDS, HONEY BUNS or TWINKIES? It looks like like someone PUMPED helium straight into her body! At least Lil Kim NIPPED, TUCKED and STUFFED her fat away! Nicki, please give Inga the number to your plastic surgeon and your shrink while you are at! Maybe, you guys can tag team! It takes two to Tango!!!!!!!!!!!!"
