Top A-Little-More-Than-5 Posse Cuts
And no, this has nothing to do with Mario Van Peebles. Or Deebo.

Why “The View” Is F**ked, Reason #786 (The Bill O’Reilly Edition)
Bill O’ Reilly was on “The View” this morning. This is what happened.
What a mess.
No doubt the Mosque issue is a sensitive one.
Bill O’Reilly is a frozen head from 1760 polarizing figure. You have to watch him to know what he’s saying, but not for too long, you’ll lose brain matter. No matter the topic, he will find a way to dredge up the brimstone in you. Unless, of course, you’re Dipset.
The View is composed of a bunch of cackling b***hes.
Like oil and water, or like whatever two elements you mix together to go “BOOM!”, it should have already been known
by the talent booker
by the producers
by the doorman
by O’ Reilly’s nose hairs
that this was going to get out of hand.
Whoopi was out of pocket during Mel KKK Gibsongate, and now this. Even though O’Reilly is a sh*tty, sh*tty person– it was still an interview. Her and the older Ginger shouldn’t have walked out. The audience seemed confused too– they cheered @ 1:36, then again when Thelma & Louise Ginger & Dread walked off of the stage. You can’t agree with both. This only tells me that the audience is comprised of exactly what I thought it was: squirrel monkeys.
Whatever.
The bigger issue here is why Whoopi looks pregnant.

Close Call
As the governor continues to slide down the slippery slope of…being the New York State governor– club appearances, odd deficit balancing, low approval ratings (up to 40% in Dec. after hitting 30% in Oct. ) & constant badgering on Saturday Night Live, yet another reason has surfaced that’s giving the people of New York a reason to question Paterson.
If the average person heard about it.
I’m pretty sure the Gov is wiping his brow that the focus is alluding him this go- round. Sadly, it’s only because most of the attention is on the horrifying earthquake in Haiti.
His 15 year old son Alex was caught by police and arrested on Tuesday w/ stolen credit cards. Probably engaged in a game of Cee-Lo, although they called it “playing dice” out on the Upper West Side.
Was this Gossip Girl Upper West Side?
Or “So far up we don’t ever want to consider this Upper West Side, ever”?
Like a good pops, the Gov came out swinging for his son. Paterson said the supposed credit card was actually a debit card, that was never used.
IT’S JUST BECAUSE HE HADN’T YET
Then David magically reversed the whole arrest, stating that the police only stopped Alex instead of arresting him.
Wtf does this ***** live here??
I mean, if your gonna run with it, you gotta keep the baton in your hand, right? The David said his son was not playing dice for money uptown, but was just down by his school. Right.
I mean, whatever the case may be, I just wish/hope David Paterson can get this city out of a deficit & raise his approval rating. This isn’t cool. I want to root for him. I really do.
Love,
*Ms. Officer
Cam’Ron- I Hate My Job
Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for? A new song from Mr. Cam?
Hell Yeah! Epecially after this surfaced last year- talk about being on the edge of your seat:
Ok Ok, here’s his new video, I Hate My Job
Wow. That actually makes sense.
This video is actually economically
-dare I say-
saavy?
…Looks like he packed on a couple lbs. too. Must be all that chillin @ his vacation home…
I’ve just been further reminded of why I loved Dipset.
Get my f*ckin pool in the back
Love,
Ms. Officer
Here’s One of the Reasons Why I Love Jim Jones
First off, this n*gga is crazy. He says whatever, wherever, whenever about whomever. These excerpts are not included in the current issue of Complex magazine, where he graces (I figure he would use that word) the cover.
Allow me to present the evidence:
Exhibit #1:
Complex: You said that at one point, Jay-Z was your favorite rapper and then he went out “like a dud.” When did your perception of him change?
Jim Jones: When he went from being a boss to an employee and he had no reason for doing that. I took a job with Kevin Liles and them because I had all the reason in the world to do that—I’m a hustler and I wanted to learn the whole game from the inside out. At that point, when Jay went corporate, he already knew the whole game. Roc-A-Fella was on a roll that nobody could probably stop, ever. So when you downshift and you go from wanting to run your own ship to being on a crew on somebody else’s ship, I don’t care how big the ship is, it’s not the same. You lose the power. You lose the equity, and to me it’s like you just sold your soul. You fell into the loop. And you supposed to come from the street—we’re supposed to always set our own precedent and do it the way we wanna do it.
Exhibit #2
Complex: How do you feel about Jada going to the ROC. Does that surprise you?
Jim Jones: I don’t know, some people got to do business moves. Some people don’t have enough power to do things in their own regard, so they do things to create some type of hype. Some type of niche that would reel people in to get people to look at them. I guess he felt that him doing the Roc-A-Fella thing would give him that. Me, myself, I don’t think it would’ve given him anything whether he would’ve done a deal with a real label or not. [Roc-A-Fella] is not even a real label no more. Like I told you, L.A. Reid owns it. You smell me? They sold it. That’s why Dame is in here with us—he made money off that. Who owns it?
Complex: Are you cool with anyone from Roc-A-Fella?
Jim Jones: There isn’t really any Roc-A-Fella. Wheres Roc-A-Fella signed to? Who owns Roc-A-Fella? Jay don’t own Roc-A-Fella. L.A. Reid owns Roc-A-Fella and there’s no Roc-A-Fella artists. Not even Jay, for that matter. He hasn’t sold any real incredible records for him to be saying that he’s the best in the world. People are selling circles around his sales, but his publicity and his star power has overcome anything. Then you know, he got the Beyonce factor, which is a great factor for him.
Complex: Have you ever run into Beyonce?
Jim Jones: Nah, we don’t deal with that. That’s a different part. We stick to what we’re doing. Smell me? We don’t violate that. Gangstas don’t do that. No women no children. Smell me?
Exhibit #3
Complex: This year, it seems like Dame has been really focused on trying to make you a star. Some people have compared his drive to the way he pushed Jay-Z at the beginning. How do you respond to that?
Jim Jones: Shit, that’s a great comparison. If you look at it, Dame did alright for Jay-Z. That old nigga has cake, he’s paid. So how bad can that be? Dame made history, he started Roc-A-Fella records, and I’ve seen it. I watched the first Roc-A-Fella fitted he had on his head that he made from a 3rd Avenue store when it was just stitched on and shit. He’s a historical person, he’s done it and he’s done it well. He not only did it with Jay, but he did it with Kanye; he set a precedent for niggas that want to become something in this game, who come from the street and want to make a lot of money. Dame is a beast—when I was younger, I always admired his hustle. I can do more. I don’t need to use rap as a crutch for the rest of my life. I can rap and I can do the business, I can model and do the business, I can own a production team. It’s a big difference over here, [Jay-Z] can’t do that. He’s not that savvy, not that fly, I don’t think he’s that handsome. All he has is a gorgeous flow—my momma raised a gorgeous child.
Exhibit #4
Complex: Are you worried about how your new album sales will stand up against the likes of 50 and Jay?
Jim Jones: They better watch out. The pressure is on them. I got the same amount of advertising power that they’re going to have. Columbia is about to spend some money. It’s going to be a battle for PO’s in the store; it’s going to be a battle. People are going to see me as much as they see them, and I’m handsome, ya dig? I don’t know about them other n*ggas. Girls like a good picture, so at the end of the day, girls just might buy it because they think I look fly on the cover.
Exhibit #5
Complex: There was a rumor that there was another part II to “Swagger Like Us” coming out with Jeezy and Andre 3000 on it. How you feel about that?
Jim Jones: When’s the last time anyone has dressed like any of those people? Where are we going with this? I would exclude Andre 3000, because niggas are never going to dress like him anyway. He’s on his own other shit. But for the most part, we set the precedent. Why you think they got me on the cover of Complex for? We about to blow niggas’ minds. These niggas know I can do it, and they can’t and they know girls aren’t going to be mad at it. They’re going to be like, ah man, I can’t even get up on that shit, he’s taking it too far to the point where I can’t be involved. [Laughs]. We’re going to have fun with this one for a bit.
Exhibit #6
Complex: You also have a fitness DVD coming out?
Jim Jones: I’m going to start shooting soon. I’ve been getting in shape for the past few years. It helps me to not be so frustrated. I’ve got pretty good at it. It’s a billion dollar industry. It’s just another check in my pocket.
…Sounds a lot like….
in simpler terms a hot mess.
Wtf: Pop Champagne
First off, I f**ks w/ this song.
With that said, I questioned if I was being n**gerish because this was one of the first songs that popped into my head (no pun intended) when Barack won the Presidency last week. What I did not know @ the time was what the video looked like. I saw it for the 1st time on Monday (maybe it’s been out longer than that, who cares) but let it be known:
The ‘Pop Champagne’ video must be stopped.
Ring the mothaf**kin alarm.
There’s just way too much wrong w/ it.
Like I said: I do rock with this joint & Ron Browz is very talented. Buuuuuuuuut allow me to point out the obvious:
1. The tattoos on this girl’s back.
2. The background in the picture frame. The whole picture frame thingy in the 1st place.
3. The chick in the gold bathing suit thing w/ the gold humping Jim Jones’ leg while he’s clearly trying to pour the champagne down the flutes.
4. Is that a child dancing? And if so, is she in the club with them?? I’m confused here.
5. The dude step-n-fetching in the teeth & the white pants. I can’t.
6. Lol did that fat guy just start to do the Harlem?
7. Not just the gratuitous pouring of the bubbly, but the fact that Zeke puts his hands out like he’s drinking from a gourd.
That was what bothered me the most.
8. I hate spitting, it’s so gross.
9. And as much as I like Juelz Santana & Dipset, & trust me, I really do, I couldn’t tell u what happens after his verse begins because that graphic of his catch-phrase ‘A’ was just too much. I couldn’t do it.
(I just want to interject real quick & say that someone posted some flyers on my myspace of a party w/ Barack Obama, Jim Jones & Juelz Santana all together. Lemme tell you there is no occassion where these folks would share a venue.)
Now obviously there are much suckier music videos out there, of any genre. I just wanted to touch on this one cuz I felt it was a liiiiiittle too ignorant coming on the heels of Barack making history.
The sh*t rocks tho.
Sigh,
Love,
Ms. Officer
Harry Reid Is Glad Barack Is Light Skinned
Jan 9
Posted by MsOfficer
These events always seem to run together. Now the last 4 posts have become a family.
This guy, the one who looks like a piece of Origami, is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev). For some reason, once upon a time in a past conversation he thought it was a good idea to make an ignorant comment about our now POTUS, Barack Obama when he was still in the running for the job. Reid probably thought it would never see the light of day.
Senator Reid was evidently haunted like the ghost of Christmas past, which, amazingly he resembles. Someone finally let loose on his words from a past private conversation and Reid was pushed into making a public apology just a couple of hours ago. The comments, via CNN.com:
1. Harry Reid basically said if Barack was a darkie named Mobutu, he wouldn’t stand a chance at winning the Presidency.
2. Reid also admitted that he thinks light skinned folks are less menacing.
3. He said “Negro dialect”.
4. Unless he wanted to have one? Is there somewhere I can go to by this “Negro dialect”? Pick it up perhaps? Barter it for something else?
“Excuse me, can I trade you that ignorance for this Negro dialect please? I can’t seem to get some one to take it off my hands. Thanks.”
Have we slipped the f*ck back into 1930 & I was not notified?
Finally, it was uttered by a former peer of Barack Obama, what I’d feared would be publicly said about him for so long:
Perhaps America would be more comfortable with “less threatening” and “more stereotypical” images of African-Americans?
Because nothing is scarier than an educated Black Man.
Has the word Negro regained a certain “ok to use recklessly because Black people aren’t going to react at all” factor that I completely missed?
This comment was unearthed by authors Mark Halperin and John Heilmann in their book “Game Change” that’s going to be released next Tuesday. It’s one way to stir up a hell of a buzz for a book release.
For what it’s worth, Harry called President Obama today & apologized for the comment. Here’s what the definition of classy had to say regarding the incident:
Reid also was sorry for ” the fact ya’ll found out about this sh*t in th first place, all the rest’a you nigs that got bent outta shape over it, & I woulda gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those pesky journalists. offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.”
At least we’ve found the culprit behind the 2010 Census Negro Uproar.
Why not?
….But I you are aware that “Negro” is just one step away from “Ni**er”, right?
Love,
*Ms. Officer
