So What Did Hov Do To You?


King, G.O.A.T, Best to ever do it.....These monikers among many more get applied to Jay-Z by supporters across the world. I personally don't use these labels but I respect where they come from. But this isn't a post about Jay-Z's lyrical ability or his place among the greatest of all time. As is usually the case on the Blvd, this is about the people. This is a general inquiry into why so many people dislike a guy who so epitomizes growth, evolution and escape from negative circumstances? We're the "talk about it" generation. We have so many ways to express ourselves that there is rarely time given to think about the validity of what is being said.

A few days ago Jay-Z & Kanye West, another of the people's favorite targets, released a new track off their upcoming Watch the Throne album. The song, Otis, had everyone talking, as if we need more fuel to start chattin' but anyway, you had those that loved it more then their new born child, you had those that labeled it another addition to their satanic, Illuminati driven catalog. And then you had those in the middle. The calm and the more rational that may have liked it or not, but didn't put too much more weight on one song then it deserves.

What caught my attention were posts I was seeing that had little to do with the actual song in question. Jay-Z is a fraud, a biter, a sell out, an Uncle Tom, etc,etc.....The digital venom was potent I thought my hard drive may crash if I viewed to much. Did Jay sleep with your girl back in the day? Were you tight with Harlem and never got over those shots Jay-Z tossed at Mase's Uptown crew never a decade ago? I'm just curious what is it that people want? I'm curious if folk realize how foolish and hypocritical they look with the outlandish accusations? Drug dealer to multimillionaire mogul. That's fact so within that fact what would people have Mr Carter do?

It reminds me how people got at Jordan for not speaking out more against certain injustices and using his fame and power for more. That wasn't his thing. I think when it comes to us black folk we expect the major give back from our celebs. We hope for and want those that came up to give back. Not just give back but give back directly to us. Don't save lives in Africa. Don't raise social awareness in Europe. All of that is voided if you're not creating millionaires back in BK on the streets you once ran. Let's ignore the fact that the streets DO NOT financially support artists but are the first to demand some one keeps it real. Yeah ok, far be it for the guy to get as far away form his street hustling roots as possible. Nothing like listening to 40 yr old man spit about "moving them things" O_o


Along with that, I hear folk say that Jay doesn't rap "for the hood" anymore. Ummmmm, when was he last in the hood to be rapping about it anyway? The man's a married multimillion. Who would take when seriously? This is his world that's what he speaks on. Why is this so hard to deal with?
Then one of the more popular issues is that Jay-Z is merely success from biting other peoples lines. BIG, Pac, Nas, so on and so forth. This too never makes sense to me. You can maybe construct 1 or 2 songs worth of Jay "line bites" but then what do you attribute the other 11+ albums worth of material too? Again it's something that sounds good to say but doesn't really have legs.

You see, if you ask me to name my favorite MC's there are a few that will be named before Jay-Z. If I had to pick between Jay and Nas as the only artist I could listen to for the reminder of my life I'd pick Nas. So this isn't a Jay-Z fan campaigning for my favorite. I'm just thrown off by how crazy people sound when they go at him.......nevermind that nothing being said actually has any bearing on his life but you know.

It's That No Good Steve Harvey Again!!!!


Many things in this world are not reliable. Some friends, weather forecasting, competent action in the government, on and on the list can go. As an avid people watcher nothing goes off like clock work like the Negro self assassination via the Internets before, during & after a BET Awards show. As the sun must raise so too will the digital peanut gallery be heard weighing in on the celebrity gathering. What catches may eye and got me thinking was the award for Humanitarian work given to Steve Harvey. Steve is no stranger to the BLVD. His Best Selling Book and personal relationship have been touched on here before, so when the time came I knew the usual anti-Steve rhetoric that to expect. 

 A statement I saw a few times on a few sites surprised me. Steve is no humanitarian. How is this so? Do his relationship issues, the most recent ones exposed as a fraud, over shadow his good deeds for fatherless black youth? I decided to take this thought to the Internets to see what folk were thinking. Within a private group on FB I asked a simply question. “What did you think of Steve Harvey winning his award at the BET Awards” Most of the initial comments were related to Steve’s book and how the success of that project doesn’t equal great humanitarian work. I then mentioned that the award was based more off the other things he’s done including his foundation. Once people looked into what it was about then the compliments flowed. 
   
hu·man·i·tar·i·an
–adjective
having concern for or helping to improve the welfare and happiness of people.

–noun
a person actively engaged in promoting human  welfare and social reforms, as a philanthropist.
So that is the way that we handle famous folk. We hear the scandal, live for the drama but the info that we should be paying attention to we seem to miss. The times I’ve listened to Steve Harvey he never hesitates to admit he’s flawed and take no personal credit for the positive things he’s been blessed with. So I can never really get what true issues people have with him. Or to put it better what possible problem could you have with his deeds? Why do we hold celebs to standards many of us don't hold ourselves to? 

 I'm curious if Steve is not or can not be a humanitarian then just who is a true humanitarian? Who's the prototype for it? And what do you say when you find they did something wrong in their  private life. I simply don't get it. Our people come up from struggle and it's like we line up to strike our people down. It's us it's always us.....I guess I should be happy that folk are saying he's a part of the Illuminati.

Trump is Pissed While Rhi Rhi Enjoys All Star Weekend

All-Star Weekend with your friends or $500,000 performing for Donald Trump? It seems Rihanna wasn't hurting for cash as she decides to brush off the man with the worlds most famous "hair". And let's say he wasn't too happy.

I thought that Rihanna bailing was insulting to everyone, but for Rihanna to go to the All-Star game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect[...]Nothing was missed. Jennifer’s a beautiful girl. She came on her day off even though she performs almost every night. She is an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better.”

Donald, You Mad?

Perry Finally Releases Boondocks Statement


"Just like the Spike Lee situation, I feel that 'no response' is the best response. I'm just gonna leave it at that... But I will tell you this ... there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I'm suing The Boondocks. Those are all lies. I'm not suing anybody over that. And I haven't fired anyone because of that show, either. I don't know where all that came from."


Well that's all I needed to hear. True or False it's move on time.

Aaaaawwwwww Tyler You Mad?!?!?!




Turner Broadcasting tries to make peace with Tyler Perry
June 30, 2010 | 3:03 pm

BOONDOCKS

Turner Broadcasting is trying to avoid a house of pain with producer Tyler Perry.

Perry, who has two shows on Turner's TBS cable channel ("House of Payne" and "Meet the Browns") was furious about a recent episode of the animated series "The Boondocks" that ran on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. Cartoon Network also is owned by Turner Broadcasting.

The episode in question which first ran June 20, lampooned Perry, the creator of several hit movies, some of whom star him as Madea, an eccentric grandmother whose antics often land her in hot water. The show, which is executive produced by Aaron McGruder, who also created the now-defunct comic strip of the same name, featured a thinly veiled version of Perry named Winston Jerome. In the episode, Jerome is shown to be a closeted cross-dresser who uses religion to hide his lifestyle.

Soon after the episode aired, Perry got in touch with executives at Turner including entertainment chief Steve Koonin and Phil Kent, the chief executive of Turner Broadcasting. Perry complained loudly about the episode and even threatened to rethink his relationship with the company, people familiar with the situation said. A spokesman for Perry declined to comment.
Kent, who is a low-key executive but also a former talent agent, put his skills to work and acknowledged to Perry that the actor-producer should have been given a warning about the episode. The show, which has aired twice, is not scheduled to air again on Cartoon Network, although the company would not say if it has been banned from the channel.

Senior executives at Turner knew the episode had the potential to cause headaches when the script for it first came in more than a year ago, people close to the show said. McGruder had wanted the show to be the season premiere, but instead was moved (some say buried) further into the season.

In the original script, McGruder did not make much of an effort to alter the identity of the subject of his scorn; he had to be told to change the name of the character so it wouldn't so closely resemble Perry's. He came back with a name that was a play on Perry's legal name, but that didn't fly either. And, hence, Winston Jerome was born.

The debacle over this episode of "The Boondocks" probably won't do much to ease already tense relations between Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and TBS. Both channels compete for the same young male demographic, which often has led to spats over turf. For example, repeats of "Family Guy" that were strong performers on Adult Swim ended up on TBS too, much to the chagrin of Adult Swim. Also, while much of Turner Broadcasting is excited about having landed Conan O'Brien as host of a late-night show, the folks at Adult Swim are worried that its ratings could be hurt by the show.

Tyler Perry has something for ya.....LOL


So the talk is that Tyler was not too amused at last weeks episode of Boondocks. In fact the level of detail in the show has him believing that his office has a few leaks. So, what is he to do???

Our source also says that Madea is giving pink slips to his entire staff [not the shirtless boy wonders of course] starting Friday – – he wants to control any leaks of information about ”the compound!!

Go In on Em' Uncle Russ!!!!!!!


Tell em' why you mad! Russell Simmons apparently had to let a few folks know what he thinks of certain outside comments and opinions on his taste in women.


“That's pure bullsh*t I prefer funny, charming and yes beautiful women. I like black, black African women like Ms Tanzania, Flaviana, or Kiara, and i like french African like Noemie Lemoir. I like African American women like Porschla and Katie Rost I like , no LOVE, Asian/Black women like my children AND Kimora Lee. Oh and I like swedish women like my old girl Tova Johannsen. I like blond Texas girls like my ex girl Julie I like danish girls like Heidi Albertson I like Puerto Ricans like Heidy Alliende I could go but the point is made.

I’m sick of racist self hating women suggesting that I prefer this and that. I prefer hot funny charming non cigarette smoking, NON fur wearing women from any place in the world”

Via Global Grind

I couldn't agree more.Let him do him and you do you.You can hop over to Necole Bitchie's site to see the wide range of Russell's female taste.
