New Song Smell- Jay-Z Feat. B.I.C.- Glory
That’s right, your eyes do not decieve you.
Blue Ivy Carter is featured with her father Jay-Z crying in tune.
This, I blame on The Beyonce
Forget about the rumors about how much they paid Lenox Hill.
Forget about the “fregnancy” (fake pregnancy, that is) rumors.
Forget, well, this.
Listen to Jay-Z Feat. B.I.C.- Glory here
You heard correctly, Jay said they had a miscarriage before. Good Grief.
Truth be told, It’s a beautiful song. If only more men would take this stance…
Bey-Z, YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN.
Love,

Track-By-Track: Robin Thicke- “Love After War”
“Track-By-Track” is just a better way of saying “Album Review”. DOWN WITH TRITE CLICHES.
Love After War is Robin’s 5th studio album.
His last, Sex Therapy hyponotized and held me in it’s grips for quite some time. It was at that point that I decided if ever I were to sleep with a celebrity couple, it would be Robin Thicke & Paula Patton loved Robin Thicke.
I needed to be weaned off of Sex Therapy, and it’s clear his mission was to do the same with Love After War:
1. An Angel On Each Arm- Is actually about his wife Paula Patton & his son, Julian, which is beautiful. He also shouts “LET’S GET IT STARTED!” which is cool because this is the 1st song on the album #SEEWHATIDIDTHERE
2. I’m An Animal- If he’s singing about what I think he’s singing about…this’ll be a fun 4 minutes and 5 seconds.
3. Never Give Up- Much of this album is inspirational– not to mention his actual voice, which is teeming with emotion. You can actually visualize what he’s saying here. Feels like it’s simuletaneously rainy & sunny.
4. The New Generation- Easily the best song on this entire album, AND one of the best songs released this year. Re-read that. Thicke delivers. If you’ve never heard this before, follow these steps:
a. Turn every speaker, Dre Beat, or iPhone headphone up to it’s highest
b. Worry about your hearing at a later date and time
c. Find the nearest boss desk to disrespect.
Robin told me he was inspired by the “Occupy Wall Street” movements and simply let off in the studio here. MY GOODNESS. It’s hard to move on from this song because it sparks such emotion. Best of all– when you think it’s over, it really isn’t.
5. Love After War- The title track/lead single does excatly what it’s supposed to do. You already know how I feel about the video:
Watch New Vid: Robin Thicke- Love After War here
This song is worth loving.
6. All Tied Up- It begins like Teena Marie’s Potuguese Love. But it’s not. This is exactly what you think it’s about. AND IT’S SEXY TIME.
7. Pretty Lil’ Heart Feat. Lil’ Wayne- Weezy is the standalone feature on this entire thing. Everything about this is right. ”TELL ME ‘CUZ YOU KNOW I NEED THAT ‘PUMP PUMP’ EVERYDAY.” MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
8. Mission- Oh dear goodness. I am about to sleep with the nearest object, which is unfortunately (fortunately?) is this computer. Fitting that my favorite song here is the sessiest? MISSION MOST CERTAINLY ACCOMPLISHED.
9. Tears On My Tuxedo- If you don’t pay much attention to the lyrics, you can transition into Boring smoothly without breaking your “mood”.
10. Boring- Didn’t get the content from the title, but he takes Boring in a pleasant direction. You know what? This, too, could maintain the “mood”. The stretch extends from 6-10.
11. Lovely Lady- Feels like I should be at a cocktail party in a tuxedo, holding a tray with a monkey. But the monkey’s not on the tray.
12. Dangerous- Gentlemen, this is my behavior.
13. Full Time Believer- I’m back at that cocktail party, except minus the tuxedo and tray. Now I’m in a glittery gown walking through the crowd at a normal pace, yet everyone else sees me in slow-mo. Monkey is still there.
14. I Don’t Know How It Feels To Be U- Something tells me this, too, is for his wife. There is a nagging feeling race may play a factor. Either way, beautifully written.
15. Cloud 9 – It’s a lazy Sunday. There is a lake nearby, and most importantly, no NYC noise. Also, images or chubby black men in round glasses come to mind when I think of Jazz. Does this happen to anybody else?
16. The Lil’ Things- Not crazy about this one. The lyrics are really good, but I can’t get into the music. Still, it’s nice.
Well played Robin, well played.
17. What Would I Be- Love the way this sounds. Everything about What Would I Be (especially the way its written) lifts me you up, twirls me you around, then sets me you back down gently. Just like a meaninful song should.
Love After War is amazing. This is everything you wanted, expected, and needed from Thicke, without it being redundant or stale. Could have consisted of 14 tracks and still been fun. Definitely appreciated the ride. PUN INTENDED.
In sum, this album invokes 3 feelings:
1. Begin actual revolution ::readies kit:: complete with street marches, picket signs, dashikis and such
2. Grab the Sunday Times, a mimosa, and sit in bay window sunshine and be jazzy. JAZZY, NOT HIPSTER
3. Well…you know.
Love,

Where The Hell Did Time Go Wednesdays- Missy Elliott
Missy Elliott is such a talent that you may consider this the first installment in her “WTHDTGW” feature.
Long acronymn, huh?
To be fair, this may be her song, but it’s not really her song. It’s one of those collaborations that featured every single popular rapper at the time, representing their respective rap crews, yet all in a show of rap solidarity instead of beef.
It gets muddled, Nas’s this verse is better than every other that verse, but one thing is for certain. This song encapsulates a certain time of year.
AND NOW WE’RE GONNA PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999.
@: 02 THESE OPENING CHORDS HAVE PUSHED A BUTTON
@: 10 Nas has looked like he was 17 up until about last week. Does this mean that (legal) females who got with him prior to this time have an underlying issue?
@: 22 What’s better than synchoronized ’90′s dancing in videos? With the exception of The Beyonce, Do they even do this anymore?
@:32 My QB PIECE MAKE Y’ALL [INSERT 6 LETTER ADJ. HERE, PLURALIZED] TUCK Y’ALL SH*T IN
@ :47 SING
@1:07 Ginuwine doesn’t readily come to mind, but I can see how that’s possible
@ 1:11 Pre-Superwoman Lil’ Mo’
@1 :17 Who doesn’t love Mary? Even though she’s not a “Hot Boy”?
@1:38 SANG
@ 2:09, Kind of know of Eve’s whereabouts, but not really. I also may or may not have been the only one who truly lovedwatched her show. Word is, she’s currently a member of an interracial relationship. [Insert banner wave here] BUT
HOW MANY HAVE REALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE PAW PRINT TATTOOS?
Neither has Youtube.
@3:04 About here you should be expecting a very nasal “Ayo Mami what the deal…” That of course, would be the voice of Q-Tip, and I was never really aure why he wasn’t featured in the video, because his verse supports the back end of this song quite nicely.
@ 3:09 PROCLAIM
@4:25 I used to do that in the schoolyard when I was little.
Ah, don’t you miss real creativity?
COME BACK.
ALEC BALDWIN SUMMONS YOU.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
New Vid: The Beyonce- Dance For You
Here we go again.
:06 Last time we heard sirens in a The Beyonce vid, it was during “Ring The Alarm”…and…WELL
@ :23 This entire thing is giving me Dick Tracy.
@ :56 Does my butt look like that when I sit down? #ProbablyNot
@ :59 This, I believe, is her signature dance. That cat thing.
@ 1:14 $20 says he takes it out mid-vid.
@ 1:24 Why is this enclosed office so windy? Is it the slow-moving fan?
@ 1:29 $20 says something else is poking besides his collar
@ 2:13 The Beyonce had a lot of pre-very-pregnant gyrating to do on film before she got very pregnant. These videos are akin to those Lil’ Wayne shot pre-incarceration. #Sohecouldbeoutwhilehewasin
@ 2:28 GET READY TO PAY UP
@ 2:47 How much of this moment is he savoring in his mouth right now?
@ 3:09 WE JUST SAW THIS IN THE “BEGO” VID
@ 3:17 Ok, so, now the wind makes sense.
@ 4:07 How many gay-guy-who-thinks-they-can-do-this-better-than-The-Beyonce-parodies will this spawn?
@ 4:46 This man is one of the only men to ever be looked at through The Beyonce’s legs.
@ 4:48 Hahahahah he’s clutching himself
@ 5:05 Ok, so, kind of wanted them to have at least a little sex on camera.
DAMN YO U ARTISTIC CREATIVITY.
This was hot. Although I am not a smoker, The Beyonce just has that effect.
How many of you will now add this song to your respective “Strawberry Moonlight Candle Stargaze Panty” playlists?
Too many, I deduce.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
Drake- Ism, “Take Care”- Ism
Aubrey Drake Graham exists as both an actor & rapper singer.
Mr. Graham needs to be very careful he doesn’t fall into “Ja Rule” territory, which he is hurdling towards with his latest effort, Take Care.
The “lonely-kind-of-singer-kind-of-rapper-entertainer-sitting-by-a-golden-bird-whilst-being-Jay-Z’s-unshaven-look-circa-6-months-ago” look is not really doing much for…anything outside of 1983.
I never bought the “Drake is a gangster because he chose to sign hang out with Young Money” image,
AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU
Care is in the title of his sophomore effort. HOW HARD IS THIS EXPECTED TO BE
Drake happens to be a walking dichotomy. Smart enough for the nerds/backpackers, [Insert 6 letter word, adj. here] ish enough for…everyone else.
Initially, I thought of writing a review upon first listen. Deciding that would have been premature & possibly unfair (although I have a very good sense for identifying hit songs, quality songs & plain sh*t) I marinated. I’ve lived with this Take Care album for a week now, it’s time I shared the in-depth breakdown.
1. Over My Dead Body- Boring. In one instance I fell asleep. So it doubles as a lullaby.
2. Shot For Me-
3. Headlines –
4. Crew Love Feat. The Weekend- 1st good song we come across. Best of all, The Weekend does the singing here. Also, The Weekend may or may not sound like The Dream. Perhaps it’s their affinity for articles.
5. Take Care Feat. Rihanna- Just…waterboard me. This will be a sickening crossover hit– everyone loves Drake, everyone loves Rihanna. Put them over a fart (which this song makes me want to do) and it will be a smash. Call it the Jay-Z effect.
6. Marvin’s Room- Spawned too many spawns this summer. We’ve all drunk dialed. We’ve all been 2am mad. Drizzy accurately captures this while caressing his own scruffy chin.
7. Buried Alive (Interlude) Feat. Kendrick Lamar- Kendrick Lamar is getting much of the same type of buzz Drake was 2 years ago (as he likes to remind us). Drizzy gets kind of morbid not only on this track -but the whole album- which is weird. What is he talking about? Why is he so upset at his success? ISN’T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED
8. Underground Kings- Love this. Particularly it’s ’90s rap sound. These types of records are why we love Drake in the first place. Well done, Noah ”40″ Shebib & T-Minus. Sometimes I need that romance, sometimes I need to pole dance.
9. We’ll Be Fine (Feat. Birdman)- Would’ve been fine sans Birdman.
10. Make Me Proud (Feat. Nicki Minaj)- This duet does little to quell my feelings they’ll both be donned in pink for the vid. Admittedly, I like it–this too (is currently) a big record.
11. Lord Knows Feat. Rick Ross- Here is the standalone “street cred” song on Take Care. Personally, not crazy about it. However, production by Just Blaze & Rawse’s sheep will propel this– at least on late night radio.
12. Cameras Feat. Jon B./Good Ones Go (Interlude)- Easily my favorite track. Impressed is an understatement when it comes to how I feel about him even knowing Jon B.’s Calling On You. Lends to the theory of Drake-ism. Can’t be a gangster listening to Pleasures You Like. Original:
This, ladies and gentlemen, is partially how underrated artists get their due– rediscovery. So, not so bad after all. Jon is an amazing artist, one of my absolute favorites. Click here for the interview I did with Jon B. this summer.
The interlude is a killer.
13. Doing It Wrong (Feat. Stevie Wonder)- What was that? Would you like some more WHINE with that cheese? BUT OF COURSE. THIS TRACK’S ONLY SAVING GRACE IS STEVIE WONDER’S HARMONICA
14. The Real Her (Feat. Andre 3000 and Lil’ Wayne)- Aside from the fact you can barely differentiate Wayne’s voice from Drake’s, it’s pretty cool. Andre 3000 always elevates anything he’s on. #SEEWHATIDIDTHERE #ELEVATORS
15. Look What You’ve Done- Best song on the album. About his mother, uncle & grandmother. Well done.
16. HYFR Feat. Lil Wayne- “Hell Yeah, F*cking Right” should not follow Look What You’ve Done. What is the connection here? Again, lost in the Drayne voice matrix. And it sucks.
17. Practice- We’ve heard this before, circa 12 years ago. With a few more gold teeth, and Mweaves (Man weaves) sprinkled in between.
Practice raises a different question. WHERE’S MANNIE FRESH
18. The Ride Feat. The Weekend- Meh.
Bonuses
Hate Sleeping Alone- Not deplorable. Could’ve replaced one of the 1st 3 songs. Or all of them.
The Motto Feat. Lil’ Wayne & Tyga- The only dance-able cut was relegated to an afterthought. Why is this a bonus & that atrocity HYFR gets to have an album cut? WHO MADE THIS DECISION
Miscellaneous Notes:
- Noticeably, his voice (not style) sounds a lot like Lil’ Wayne. Doesn’t help half of this album consists of his rhymes too.
- He didn’t “Baaaaaaawwww” that much this go around, which is kind of disappointing.
- WHO ARE THESE GIRLS HE KEEPS MESSING WITH
Now that you have been saturated with more references to “OVO” & “XO” than you care to count, do yourself a favor.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
See & Be Seen: Carmelo Anthony M8 Sneaker Release x Perez Hilton’s “One Night Only”
‘Twas a busy night on Thursday, with both Carmelo Anthony’s sneaker release and Open Sky Presents Perez Hilton’s annual “One Night Only”.
Both started at 7:30.
Both were worth going to.
One was on a pier, one was in a ballroom. It’s October in NYC.
But which one to choose
#FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS
For the Melo event, hype surrounded a special guest performance by “one of New York’s Hip Hop legends”. Citing relevance & current singles There were only 2 choices
Speculation surrounded the only two choices– Nas or Jay-Z.
When not barnstorming, Carmelo can be seen enjoying Nas.
[ Aside: Nation, if you have never been to a Nas show, I suggest you go. He is the best performance I've seen. He gives one hell of a show when he's getting paid $80,000 or better.]
Naturally beginning late, I wondered if I was going to miss the promise of Boyz II Men, Mary J. Blige & of course, Pauly D. The Carmelo event kept us entertained with its ostentasiousness– A HOLOGRAM OF A SNEAKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HUDSON
Behold.
AND CONTINUE TO BEHOLD IT.
When the show actually started, Nas literally performed three songs and left. Nonetheless, ’twas a good 15 minutes.
By the time I arrived at the Perez Hilton event, I’d missed most of the performances, but still got a consolation prize– a Nalgene from Perez’s “BritaFilterForGoodMusic” Project.
A taste of the festivities:
Oh those? The new “Soul” by Ludacris headphones. SOMEONE SEND ME A PAIR.
That is Darryl Strawberry.
This is the 25th anniversary of the Mets’ Championship season.
No matter how you split it, a great show of talent was at both shows. And so were great displays of (top shelf) liquor.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
Where The Hell Did Time Go Wednesdays- Dru Hill
A wild ride was just had.
Thanks to one of my all-time favorite songs, Beauty (Remix), by Dru Hill featuring Case.
BUT IT MUST BE THE REMIX. Although the tweak is minor, there is a very large difference between that & it’s origional form.
With that said, PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR TODAY’S VIDEO:
Not “Beauty (Remix)”, because there is no such thing.
BUT A VIDEO FOR “TELL ME” DOES EXIST.
LADEIS AND GENTLEMEN, LET’S SKIP TOGETHER
@ :11 No need for me to delve any further on this issue, I’ve already written extensively about it…and it’s symptoms, here.
@ :18 1996, DO YA FEEL ME
@ :57 Looking back, that is quite the bright jacket on quite the big Negro
@1:24 Nokio saw his opportunity for that LL Cool J lip lick AND HE TOOK IT
@ 2:00 Never really forgave Dru obvious & complete Jodeci swagger jack.
@ 3:03 Jailhouse jumpsuit in full effect
@ 3:17 This, of course, was during a time where giving out roses at shows was a mandate
@ 3:49 “Ok Guise, end of the video, WE HAVETO JUMP OUR HIGHEST HERE”
@ 3:50 Slow-mo may have not been the best choice for. That. Frame.Right.There.
Perhaps now this will inspire Dru to film a video for Beauty (Remix)?
…Maybe not.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
See & Be Seen: Big Sean x Grey Goose Rising Icons Event
Grey Goose was in abundance.
I tried to drink it all.
Miguel made a seemingly normal appearance looking like a man,
BUT THEN HIS PANT LEG SAID OTHERWISE
Somewhere in between was a performance by Big Sean, one of the most touted artists by Good Music & Kanye West since…well, Kanye West.
“My Last” Feat. Chris Brown
About the elephant in the room: Those streaming vertical lines were feedback from the lights. My camera is neither cheap nor sh*tty.
“I Do It”
New favorite dance? FOUND IT
“Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay”
Special guest: Kenny Burns’ ENLARGED CRANIUM.
T’was a good night had by all.
Especially him.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
New Vid: The Beyonce- Countdown
She’s pregnant. She’s dancing. And most importantly,
She. Ain’t. You.
@ :01 I don’t expect this to be any different from any other
- The Beyonce Video
-Destiny’s Chile Video
-Any video featuring The Beyonce
In that it is all about her, all the time. LEST YOU FORGET
@ :06 “Oh Hai, welcome to American Apparel. What was that? Were you looking for the women’s black turtleneck? Extra Small? I’m sorry, LIL’ WAYNE BOUGHT THEM ALL“
@ :20 New from Radio Shack, The Beyonce Clock.
@ :25 Soooooo, no one else thinks she’s @ least a tad bit insane
@ :45
@ 1:22 Certain this little pink act will spawn numerous youtube parodies of large women in these tiny button ups.
@ 1:49 Drumline
@ 1:55 Not that this makes a difference in the grand scheme of, like, the world, -BUT- right side, purple shirt, Thai wig. Man, Woman, or Strong Features?
Cast your vote.
@ 2:05 Must. Buy. Lavender. Shoes. Before. Men. Buy. All. Our. Sizes.
@ 2:19 “Dutty Wine” revival
@ 2:32 Alleged plagarizm.
@ 2:33 Me. and my Jay. And My Jay-Z riding. All up in that Jay-Z with me right beside Jay-Z
@3:06 The Beyonce gives a nod to The Diana (Rawse)
@ 3:26 Don’t recall The Beyonce’s boobs EVER being that big. Note to self: GET PREGNANT
@ 3:31 And just in case you forgot how beautiful The Beyonce was in the last nanosecond, a not-so-subtle reminder.
Don’t hate it, Don’t love it. Although, I’m certain I’ll have a more difinitve outlook on this after the video has been drilled into my head via MTV, overly aggressive advertisements, and radio spins. Naturally.
Plagarism, Smlagarism.
If The Beyonce doesn’t do it before after you, IT DOES NOT EXIST.
New Edition will find this out shortly, seeing as how the preview to “Love on Top” IS ALREADY OUT.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
Where The Hell Did Time Go Wednesdays- N.O.R.E.
There’s no time like the present…
to wallow in the past.
Today we are at juuust about midway into Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM), which runs from 9/15 to 10/15. I see no other way to commemorate my delicate mix of Dominican, Puerto Rican, & Cuban hertiage than with a not-so-old Reggaeton video.
At it’s peak, Reggaeton invaded Urban formatted radio & TV, and aggravating both Hip-Hop & Reggae listeners alike. Everywhere became “El Barrio”, or, at least, the Bodega.
This was 2006.
When Daddy Yankee regined supreme.
When he endorsed John McCain for President.
When Pitbull was but a mere rapper, not yet introduced to his closest homegirl, Ne-Yo.
When every college party maintained it’s obligatory Reggaeton set.
@: 03 I am proud to be Latina.
@: 05 To prove it, I will stand the f*ck up.
@:22 IT’S ON NOW
@ 1:10 Nom Nom Nom Bacardi Limon
@1:33 I’m the “morena” funny, I don’t see one here
@ 2:06 For sake’s sake, I hope this wasn’t filmed in Miami.
@2:10 “No matter your race, CUZ TODAY YOU’RE LATINO” My motto, EERYDAY THAT I SHUFFLE
@ 3:23 Thank you, SBK. Whomever you are.
@3:25 Aaaand that’s the end of the video there’s nothing else to see here.
During my tenure at Northeastern University, I was a proud member of L.A.S.O., the Latino(a)-American Student Organization. Only slightly Cuban, according to my father, (which, indeed is a vingette you should promt me to share) I have always been fully Latina en mi corazon. It also helps I appear Panamanian to some folks, whatever that means. Did I mention I’m fluent in Spanish?
That said, this vid makes me wat to grab my inverse-Puerto Rican flag & run with it down 5th ave.
VIVA MICHAEL DE LORENZO!
(This was supposed to be very exciting, but making the upside down Exclamation Point here remains a mystery.)
Love,
Ms. Officer
Where The Hell Did Time Go Wednesdays: Naughty By Nature
As we cling to, what are literally, the last 2 days of summer, I thought to myself;
1. I should probably stop drooling & crying
2. Planet Fitness will see me a lot less
3. Why doesn’t Yankee Stadium have a retractable dome
4. WHAT WOULD NAUGHTY BY NATURE DO
Thanks to 1995, we know. (Re) Presenting one of the best Summer songs ever made. EVAR:
@ :10 I kinda want a pager again. It screams “drug dealer”. Or “Important prostitute”.
@ :18 Naturally, a ghetto blaster is the perfect accessory to said pager.
@ :44 Makes me think of Bed Stuy
@ 1:19 Funny, I, too, was sitting topless on a park bench just last week. T’WAS HOT THEN
@1:55 Negroes in snow. There will never be better winter apparel than there was in the ’90s.
@ 2:55 Blacks may not swim, BUT THEY SURE DO SKI
@ 3:39 But Of course! I can wear midriffs underneath my coat. But keep them open. Problem solved. Pneumonia acquired.
Man, that was fun. But as Naughty by Nature said, we should embrace the wintertime. Reversing the stereotype, they ran from the heat.
Let’s go ahead & get this out in the open:
Sorry men. I don’t really look the same the other 8 months of the year. NATURE FORCES ME TO WEAR CLOTHING.
Rightfully so, Treach does not approve.
Just a little yummy nostalgia on your otherwise bland mid-work week.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
New Vid: Maverick- All Night
…or Money Mav, as I like to call him. Mav & I have been friends for about 6 years now.
(See proof in obligatory, dated, “having fun” picture)
Many of you may know Mav from Boston’s JAMN 94.5.
Well, that’s how I know him too.
You might also remember him from the very first “Unwrapped” I did.
Without further ado,
@ :07 That’s not the car I’m used to #ThingsInTheGameDoneChanged
@ :10 Taylor Lautner?
@ :46 I think she just Dutty Wined. If she did, I know who’s responsible for teaching her
@ 1:10 Yup, that’s Taylor Lautner.
@ 1:13 Please direct your attention to the far right of your screen, White sweater, white man, tippy toes.
@1:33 Dangerously close to a bodyroll
@ 1:42 Jajajaja
@1:53 All about interracial “macking”
@1:57 I always wondered what happened to real money in videos. NOW WE KNOW
@2:15 Is that Tyrone? CAWL HIM
@ 2:50 I’d like to know who that is. Funny, I never met these friends WHEN I WAS IN BOSTON
@3:07 Never seen a complete basketball palm on an actual person, but I like it
All in all, it’s good. Very dance-y, very united-nations-y, and very funny vid. Good work Money!
I’d better get a call concering the next shoot. OR ELSE
Love,
*Ms. Officer
Where The Hell Did Time Go Wednesdays- 2Pac (Part 2)
One week, two anniversaries. The first, and most impotant, was this Sunday. As a New Yorker, I wept all day. I remembered, I watched, I listened. 10 years have already passed, and it is still unbelievable.
Yesterday marked the 15th year since Tupac Shakur passed. Again, it’s been 15 years since 1997. Naturally this Wednesday’s post is a medley of dedications.
First, one of my absolute favorite ‘Pac songs:
The Aforementioned Coolio, Ice-T. Listen to the words, look at the visuals.
So what Coolio is a Peeping Tom? I advise you to simply not visit that hotel.
and, of course,
Isn’t it all we can do?
Love,
*Ms. Officer
New Vid: The Beyonce- 1+1
Don’t you ever forget. It is all about The Beyonce. And she’ll remind you every time.
@ :24 She’s wet. Still looks great. Who else’s fake hair can do that?
@ :31
@ :37 Me neither. Failed math. In college.
@ :46 Don’t get carried away here guys (& some gals). The Beyonce’s wearing some sort of tank top.
@1:02 Is it sheer? LET IT HANG
@ 1:07 Did Jay-Z approve this? It’s to be expected of Rihanna, but HE’S GOT GOONS
@ 1:27 
@ 1:41 This, ladies & gentlemen, is The Beyonce Experience.
@ 1:44 “REALIZE HOW MAJESTIC I AM.”
@1:47 “I’LL STAY QUIET WHILE YOU DO SO”
@ 2:07 2 virtual The Beyonces are better than 1 Solange.
@ 2:29 Any excuse to use this is worth taking
Relax, I know she’s not being that extreme.
@ 2:41 Ok, just so we’re clear, not Jigga’s arms.
@ 3:05 I don’t feel like I need a boob job now?
@ 3:12 “If, by now, you’re somehow unaware of how hot I am, allow me to demonstrate by dragging this ice all over me.”
@3:38 Smoking
@ 3:42 Bondage
@ 3:46 Bathtub
@ 3:57 Heat
@ 4:02 Cool
This is shaping up to be a wild night in the life of The Beyonce.
Like every other Destiny’s Child vid of her, there’s nothing else to focus on. The song will have to grow on me, mainstream media will make sure it does.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
Where The Hell Did Time Go Wednesdays- Ja Rule
A couple of nostalgic Wednesdays ago, I posted about DMX & his “Get Of Out Jail Free Card”. At the end of that video stood a Osh-Kosh-B’Gosh clad Ja Rule beside Mr. Simmons. This got me thinking:
DMX just got out of jail.
Ja Rule just went to jail.
DMX made some really good music. Like, seriously.
Ja Rule made some really catchy music you couldn’t help but like.
Admit it or not, “Rule Baby” had some songs that were actually good. I am admitting a guilty pleasure. So are you by reading this. And enjoying the following video:
@ :08- So what he’s a foot under the shortest vid skid? He’ll throw his hands up to distract you
@ :23- Jajajaja Tommy Hilfiger manties. With the thick ’90′s logo
@ :50- Best line in whole song.
@ 1:38 Underpass dancing! Definite ’90′s staple for any video
@ 2:10 The fact they’re dressed like camp counselors makes it all worthwhile
@ 2:36 Same Tommy underwear? This better be later that same day
@2:49 1st time I’ve noticed he used The “N” word and “Brandished” back to back
@ 2:56 Is she bored? Perhaps she can focus on that stupid a** hat
This looks remarkably like “The Thong Song” video
So what? No one “beefed”.
Until 50 put the nail in that coffin.
Good grief.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
