Dirty Diana

Y'all this right here is the truth IMO allot of folks try to do a MJ remake and no one ever comes close to making the song sound better than the original.....now I'm not saying this song is better but damn it...its pretty damn close....and y'all know how i feel about MJ....The Weeknd is in that 1% margin of people that are able to kill MJ song....I love this cover and like I said its not better than the original but its FIRE!!!!! this is my song of the week I hope y'all enjoy....

Play his version then listen to MJ's and let me know if you agree


She's Saying That's Ok
Hey Baby Do What You Please
I Have The Stuff That You Want
I Am The Thing That You Need
She Looked Me Deep In The Eyes
She's Touchin' Me So To Start
She Says There's No Turnin' Back
She Trapped Me In Her Heart

is there a such thing as being too I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

Every woman wants to be that 5 star chick, Mrs. Independent etc.....Myself included I pride my self on the fact that I have my own everything.....These things are material things however they are mine....but as I sit and think about my life going forward and things I wanna accomplish I start to wonder are my goals a little flawed....its to the point where I wanna own my home before I wanna get married......I want my name and only my name on the mortgage.....I think this way of thinking can cause problems when its comes to making a life with my future husband.....that whole attitude that I don't need a man is something I think I personally take too far....Its ok to be a hard worker and work for things you want.....and expect your man to be able to do the same.....but at the same time you still need be able to admit when you need help...if and when I am married I wanna feel like me and my husband are a team...I don't want it to ever be a power struggle or to have a attitude like I don't need nobody.....I don't know about y'all but sometimes i just be tired of screaming independent all the time......

so you wanna go thrifting? Here are some tips

what is thrifting? shopping at thrift store,flea market,garage sale,consignment shop or charitable organization with the intent of finding great items for a cheap price...I thrift for this very reason....so I wanna share a few tips I have learned from my mother,grandmother.....

First off you gotta have a open mind....I try not to go into a thrift store looking for anything in particular.....I usually go in with the intent on spending only a certain dollar amount....you got to know thrifting can be a hit or miss....your not always going to find something every single time....and this should not discourage....not all thrift stores are created equal....when I say that I am speaking in terms of pricing,organization and cleanness....so keep that in mind

Some myths you may hear is that you gotta go to the "rich" neighborhoods to find good thrift stores....no ma'am that is not the case...although allot of people donate to their neighborhood thrift store....that is not the only place thrift store get inventory...trust me....and honestly the "rich" neighborhood thrift store be the ones tripping on the prices....I shop all over I google thrift stores,salvation army's, Goodwill's and i look for estate and garage sales.....I suggest this as a way to find good thrift stores use Google.com.....also I know allot of folks don't like thrifting because it seems unsanitary....its called soap and water that is all....

when your first trying to thrift I suggest starting off with belts.purse,blazers and then working your way up to clothing.....I also wear leggings,tshirt and shoes I can slip off easy when I go shopping.....so I can try things on right in the isle no dressing rooms for me...allot of thrift stores have only one or two dressing rooms and they are always full with old people waiting to try on scarfs lol.....Also ask the workers when they have their sale days...allot of thrift store have colored tag days...for example on red tag day all red tags are half off....Goodwill's usually have one day a week when everything in the store is half off....and also they offer discount cards (I got mine) so don't be afraid to ask about these perks.....and finally when shopping just cause it may be a skirt doesn't mean you gotta wear it as one....What I mean is don't pass up on something try to think how you can turn it into to something else....I have a long black skirt I turned into a tube dress....and if you have the tummy for it you can turn short skirts into tops....I hope this was helpful now get out there and thrift....

Finally Famus



I have finally decided to get this review out the way.....Big Sean seems to have popped out of nowhere.....He was discovered if you will, by Kanye.....but the first time I heard him was his song called "My Last"....didn't know who he was or what he looked like either....it wasn't until I saw him in Kelly Rowland video for "Lay it on me" that I even cared to put a name with the face.....Although I like his singles I didn't care to get the album.....It wasn't until I heard him on Wale joint "Slight Work" that I really Noticed him....His verse on the song made me want to buy his album....So I got the album and its wiggity,wiggity,wiggity whack (in my Chris Cross voice).....imma be honest I can't even get through the whole album......other than the singles I have no clue what this man is talking about......He has this catch phrase he does through out the whole album....where he says "bong and do it" a million times.......

Here is my problem with Big Sean first off the album is disappointing....I'm like ain't this Kanye dude? If you listen to the singles the people he have Featured on the song make the song without them the songs would be trash....."My Last" does not sound like Big Sean ft Chris Brown....It sounds Like Chris Brown featuring his Big Sean....."Marvin and Chardonnay" sounds like its Roscoe Dash featuring everyone else....and "Ass" is only dope because of the remix with Nicki Minaj.....He has a song with with Rick Ross and Pusha T called "100 keys" Big Sean sounds so damn lost on this song im not sure if he knows what he is talking about....I'm sorry dude does not have his own style or sound...damn near every song is featuring another rapper......he has some dope people on his album but it still didn't camouflage his whackness....and that bong sound he does is fucking annoying....the whole album is confusing and your left thinking what the hell was that...that is if you can get through the whole album without throwing it out the window.......I give this album ♥ two hearts out of  five only cause I cant make a half heart.....dont waste your money on this one yall

Tiff has a idea i wanna share

Just wanted to share an idea I have with my ladies who have children....here on blogspot you can turn your blog into a book for like $15 hard cover or soft....so I was thinking i wish i had a Baby because i would make one blog post a month all the way up until he turned one....each post would be about what my child over came that month and fun things my child did that month along with pictures....but each post would be told like a chapter to a story....i would add pictures of my child that month in every post...and on my child's One year Bday i would turn the blog into a book....and keep it as a Little keep sake....I thought this was a cute and fun idea...so I decided to share with my ladies since I don't have kids i figure someone would love this idea and want to do it......it would be a cute little childrens book

D.C or Nothing

This is my song of the week....I love this song because although he is talking about D.C life....I can relate to each lyric...this song shows all hoods ghettos are parallel we all have the same struggle....he touches on so many issues in the black community in this song....i have played this song over and over and have dissected each lyric....I must say im feeling the fuck out of this song...Wale made this song cry....


WALE
"D.C. or Nothing"

A king's assassination is why most often fear the hell
So needless to say this, leadership is not with a timid sail
I pray these words live and these gimmicks fail and
I pray whenever I'm seen in my city I forever resemble Braille
May your trees be loud, and your queens be proud
May you see your dreams allowed, before you see them from a cloud
May your glass never reach half-empty, may your enemies find the
Inner-peace before it ever get to beef
I wish you, wealth, health, and pact-free women for yourself and the shit
Ain't the best, hope these lyrics help... my nigga

Ambition

"Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision
They gon love me for my ambition
Easy to dream a dream, though it’s harder to live it
Look, they gon love me for my ambition
Beautiful music, painting pictures that be my vision
They gon love me for my ambition"




Wale Folarin (Olubowale Victor Akintimehin) is signed with Maybach Music Group aka Rick Ross and em.....dropped Ambition his 2nd studio album released 11/1/11 (he has a fresh ass mix tape titled 11/1/11 theory check it out).....imma be honest the only song I remember of his was "Pretty Girls".....but apparently he started out as a local rapper in his home town of D.C and had a popular song called "Dig Dug"....His debut album with Interscope in 2009 titled "Attention Deficit" didn't sale good but got good reviews..... I'm not going to pretend like I have been #teamwale since he been out....One day I was riding with my girl Lexi and she was bumping the hell out of Wale....I was like who is this she looked at me like I was tardy (because i was) and was like Girl this Wale.....all I remember thinking was "damn he got a flow like Pac".....he makes you think like Pac did....now I'm speaking for myself and I'm not saying he the new Pac not comparing them either two completely different artist.....he is what I call a conscience rapper.....and for that I am now #teamwale #teamBOA #teamambition

Now lets get to the album....ok so every single song on this album is dope I swear.....He has 15 tracks and you can tell he was in the studio grinding....what I like about this album is each song tells a story but its not just random stories....each song is like a chapter pulls the whole album together....all though I love every single song and its hard to pick a favorite "D.C or Nothing" track 14 is probably my Fave ugh it's so hard to choose lol....He has a song with Lloyd called "Sabotage" that is hot as well....."illest Bi***" and of course "Ambition" although I cant stand Meek Mills voice Rick Ross and Wale make up for it.....I say buy the album if you wanna hear someone talking about real ish I give this album 5 out of 5 hearts ..
