Rocsi(of 106&Park) speaks out about body image issues
Yesterday, BET's video countdown show, 106 and Park took some time to address the many issues of body image. In the midst of this, host, Rocsi came out about the many body image issues she had as a teenager and some of those that still bother her.
i just wanted to be skinny. That’s all I wanted. And it’s hard even now in this industry. God! We go through so much. All the women in this industry, this is so not us guys. When we wake up in the morning, this is not what you see. And it’s even hard with the blogs, recently I wore my hair in a ponytail and they were talking about my ears. They were like “Keebler Elf” and this that and the other. And you try not to make it hurt, but it hurts and your appearance is everything.
The only reason why I came out. Alot of minority women go through this. I used to think that it was a “white” syndrome. I thought only white people were anorexic or bulimic and I didn’t think that anyone like me or that looked like me would go through this.
I give her the greatest respect for doing this because so many young girls and females alike glorify the image and status that she has a host on 106 and Park, and for her to use that status to tell others about what she went through probably helped alot of people who watched the show. Kudos to you Rocsi! Get it? Got it? Fresh. =)

There startin to think smart is cool Lu, DUMB IT DOWN.
As an earlier post stated, Lupe Fiasco's first single "Shining Down" of his new album "L.A.S.E.R.S." was leaked, well now its available on itunes so go check that out. But besides that point, i don't discriminate against any type of music but i am a huge fan of lyricism mainly found in Hip Hop. I was beginning to hear the flat line of the lyricist heartbeat as the same 4 or 5 songs were played on the radio repeatedly and talking about nothing more than physical relationships and material things. That's all good, but being a true music fan I've hea rd a lot of great things in Hip Hop by great artists over the years and sometimes the radio doesn't cut it. To bring it back, Lupe's new single can be heard and for the most part receive a pretty general and understanding view on the subject matter, but who knew that if you really listen to the lyrics or even read them, that there are references and meanings that one would have never thought of. One would say it can be a riddle. Some would ignore this fact claiming that his rhymes are "too complicated" and "a waste of time" but depending who you are, his lyrics amongst those of other artists is whats keeping Hip Hop alive. The whole inspiration for this post was the breakdown of the song "Shining Down" found on a blog that made this subject matter post-worthy. Check this out if you want to know what i speak of http://sketchesofmysoul.blogspot.com/2009/07/lupe-fiasco-shining-down-breakdown-you.html. In the spirit of Nas, Common, Jay-Z(Just to name the most current and popular) and every other lyricist out there, lets start a new trend that has somewhat died off: Lyricism. Get it? Got it? Fresh. =)

Kicks over heels in love...
Now i think its time to address the "kicks" and "sneaker" obsession present in today's generation and culture. There seems to be some sort of misconception when it comes to kicks because people start to think that they are only for the young male...? Nay guy. I think not. I am speaking for every female who is a certified sneaker head. Since we are women we are supposed to prance around in heels all the time? No. I am a big fan of Nike, Alife, Adidas, Supras, Reeboks, and many other sneaker brands that are out there in the world. I will say that i will occasionally fall in love with some new heels that just hit the market, but i am forever a sneaker head...sometimes with no sneaker bread but ifs there a will there's a way. And i don't think its being "less of a woman," "unladylike," or "tomboyish," i feel it is simply an element of style that some females can work with and others feel obligated to rebel against. and by all means there is no problem with that, i just feel like us "kicks over heels" females don't get as much recognition as the mainstream model or "glamour girl." its time for a change! Lets start the movement! Ladylike sneaker heads unite! LOL.
*makes me want some SB Dunks just thinking about it. *
*BUT can i get it one time for this still image of the "Knock You Down"-(Keri Hilson Feat. Ne-yo and Kanye West) Video. This is beautiful. Both pairs...i would rock. Amen.*

For as long...
For as long as i live, i never want to hear anyone say again(after Usher,Chris Brown Omarion, etc) "He is the next Michael Jackson" because that will never be true. I think the saying "never say never" deserves an exception in this case. Michael Jackson passed away today, 6/25/09 at the UCLA hospital, at the age of 50, and he will forever be remembered. But as most times with deaths of celebrities who have had "problems" you have that fair share of people on the sideline who dwell more on those problems than the actual successes. Not to advocate for what he did or didn't do, i believe that we should remember him for his music, hard work, triumph, and over all megastardome. With albums such as Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory, Invincible, and the list goes on, he is accredited for more than just "singing." We can give him credit for paving the way for SO many of the artists out today, from the lyrics they sing, samples they use, or the steps they dance, Michael Jackson is accredited for so much of it, and the fact that he is definitely one of the greatest performers of our time doesn't hurt either. I know others who are older than me can remember dancing to his music playing on the record player and now to my generation who have him on our ipods and online playlists. I know i can remember my first time seeing the thriller video at the age of about 3 or 4, and i was scared out of my life, but as i grew up and listened to him more and more, like most people i fell in love with the music. From the Jackson 5 to The Wiz from records to tapes to ipods to YouTube videos Michael Jackson you will always be remembered. God Bless you and your family. R.I.P.
Reality Really Entertaining? its okay...your not the only one
OKAY. So there has been a sudden emergence in reality TV correct? I will say some of these shows are kinda..."What's the point? i haven't laughed in the past 45 minutes" BUT i will also say i follow them too =(. I don't know what it is...is it...the stupidity? the "this is so stupid but i cant turn away" factor? I think so. But no matter who you are, if you watch TV or even keep up with the vast world of entertainment, you have AT LEAST thought about watching a reality TV show. I mean come on: Real World(too many seasons to be specific), Real World/ Road Rules Challenge, Runs House, Flavor of Love, I love New York, Real Chance of Love, Daisy of Love, For the Love of Ray J, Made, The Hills, College Hill, ANTM, ITS ALL THERE. And I'm an advocate of the "one show watch rule." I will watch one show, 9 times out of 10 the first episode, and if i like it, ill continue to watch the show. But beware, they are easily addicting. So the more you find yourself checking the clock around prime time every night of the week, and then watch and find yourself saying "Is she really doing this? What is her problem? Come on now..." you my friend, are a reality watcher =(. the first step to recovery is to first admit you have a problem and the next step is to become content with yourself(because its not a problem if you dont think it is =]) after watching, because as my friends and i have discovered, the first time you say "You know what show I'm mad that i watch?" your done. Just don't get too crazy with it...and start believing you are in the show...because most of it is scripted anyway. *Recession people, I'm guessing that the cost for a sitcom is more than a reality TV show?*

Gospel...HipHop...?
Now, since this blog is about any and everything, this post is about...Gospel Rap. I am a big fan of gospel rap, I'm a big believer in God, but a lot of people think that the "Spiritual/Inspirtational/GOSPEL" music is a little boring for their taste(I'm not gonna lie, i do lol). But like most things there are alternatives. Gospel rap is one of them. Now if you like T.I., Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Tpain, Common, hip hop/rap artists alike, there is nothing at all wrong with that. If your parents listen to Byron Cage, Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Israel and the New Breed and Dietrich Haddon( i know a lot of people are like "huh?!, Who?!" but if you heard the songs they sing you would prob know who I'm talking about lol) and it doesn't necessarily get to you, and you believe in God and wouldn't mind listening to gospel music, if it caught your attention and you felt you could relate to it, then do i have the solution for you. =) Gospel Hip hop people! Artist such as Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Cross Movement, Theory Hazit and Braille all have the same flow, beats, and swag as mainstream radio artists but just a different message, most of the time. These artists are guaranteed to have your ipod bumpin, have you movin with the music, all while talking about God. So the next time your parents complain about you not having any gospel music on your ipod or whatnot, just pick up a few of these artists' latest projects and that solves many problems. or if you are even looking for a break from all the generic hip hop/rap on the radio and want something that has to do with your faith, check them out. And just a reminder even though most of these artists are Christian, their music doesn't discriminate against other religions and you will most likely be able to identify anyway. God is love. Get it? Got it? Fresh. =)
P.S. If you found this post interesting let me know, and if you want to find out more on gospel hiphop a great website to check out is http://rapzilla.com/

I think its time to address...
So...there's been a new switch in men's style right? Ya know the whole skinny jeans phenomenon. my only question is if these jeans are so skinny, then why are they still being sagged? I think that these jeans some dudes are walkin around here with are a little too tight, but that's just me. But i think what really gets me is the fact that they are so tight but still you're putting them under ya butt. Come on! Its not even cute to me really. Fitted jeans are nice, a fitted jean is A-Okay with me , especially with some high top kicks, very cute. But when you have a size zero pant size knowing full on that you're a size 5 or so, and then the nerve to put that on top and then under some boxers? Ew? But maybe its because I'm a girl? Idk. I'm sure some one agrees with me in .com land. But hey! Whatever floats your boat. If Ken Doll jeans and oversize boxers looks on point to you then by all means rock it. Just don't get offended when some one says somethin about you lookin like a thug who switched pants with Pete Wentz, just try and get the sizes right, plz. Thats all im sayin. But im not hatin, get it how ya live. Style is personal. Get it? Got it? Fresh. =)
