Well well.
Remember the post from a while back about Toni suing her ex-manager Barry Hankerson?
They've squashed it.
Except…
Barry manages to take a nasty cheap shot at Toni
"She was dropped from Arista because of record sales," he said, adding that Braxton did not want to move to Blackground Records but "there was nowhere else for her to go."
Ouuuuuch!
Barry, Barry, Barry.
You mean to tell me there was 'nowhere' for Toni to go. NO ONE would want to sign Toni Braxton to a deal. Even a minor one?
Barry…
In other not news, Beyonce is featured on the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
See 37 pics for yourself.
And our cousin Soul Man, is takin more 'pot shots' at my girl Fantasia…
boy stop.
I guess he's still mad that Fantasia stood him up for that interview.
Diva!
**UPDATE**
"Yea, yea peeps get on my case for appreciating Justin's music and performances. If you are one of those people… FUCK YOU!"
Should I take that personally? Muahahahahah!
I know some of y'all gonna spend some big money on somebody today. So how are y'all gonna waste y'all money this year?
I'm going to treat myself. I'm gonna go to a crowded restaurant and observe what suckers are spending up their re-up and rent money on some broad that isn't gonna give a shit bout him tomorrow after 7:30 a.m.
So while I'm there observing this, I'm ordering the most expensive shit on the menu for myself. And if I just so happen to stumble across some unlucky chap and his girl arguing, I'm taking her with me.
Gotta love the hustle.
This past Saturday, the annual State of the Black Union event was held at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, coinciding with the 400th anniversary of Jamestown.
You can watch the event yourselves, and you should.
Part 1
Part 2
(requires RealPlayer, and YES they are LONG)
This year's focus was on putting the Covenant with Black America into 'Action'. The actions ordinary citizens can and must take to resolve the long standing issues within the African American community, starting with the 'action' of personal accountability.
Stop blaming the 'white man' or the 'black leadership', and start taking a hard look in the mirror at YOURSELF. What actions are YOU taking to address the problems within your neighborhood?
All 'good stuff'.
I won't do much explaining/examination of those points as they are well covered in the videos themselves. What I do wish to discuss happens during Part 2 of the event.
The 'calling out' of Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey.(among other issues)

I was recently asked to teach a class of teenagers (ages 13-17) on the evolution of rap/hip-hop starting next week. I have pretty much worked out an outline of what I want to teach the kids about the music for the 6 weeks I'm working with them.
What I need help with is simple. I have dozens of songs that I feel as though these kids should be familiar with. They don't have to memorize the songs, but I want them to at least know the name of the song and the artists that performed the songs. Any songs y'all think should be on that list?
Any suggestions are welcomed.
@ me for giving back to the community.
I got put in a situation last night where I had to watch this show "I Love New York." Truth be told, I have never even sat and paid attention to an episode of "Flava of Love." So I had to have a 'cliff-notes' of what the fuck was going on with this ugly broad and her uglier mother.
So if I'm correct, New York is this chick that Flava Flav shitted on twice. So now this broad has her own show that is a complete rip-off of Flava Flav's show. But I can almost understand a house full of groupies, I meant women, doing all types of silly shit to impress Flava Flav. But last night, I saw a house full of simp ass cats trying to impress a broad that fucked Flava Flav!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
But I ain't goin even get into all that. All I can say is niggaz is shot out. One cat looks like Cam'ron. I KNOW he has to be fruity as hell. You have a dork who picks his nose and wiggles his fuckin face. You also have some crazy black dude who cries for New York. This nigga took the cake AND the ice cream. He had his arm in a slang, and he took the slang off to fight the white boy. NOT GANGSTA. Now he makes a scene, saying he should whip the white boy's ass. NOT GANGSTA. Then he proceeds to go outside for a 'moment of reflection'. While outside, he talks to New York and tells her that he's madly in love with her, all the while wearing an African t-shirt and sandles. NOT GANGSTA BY ANY MEANS.
It's sad when the 'realest' cat on there is a white boy who reminds me of Paul Wall.
All in the name of entertainment I guess. 
Only one name to say…
Christina Aguilera!
Her stock just went through the roof.
Now, this is the second time the Grammy folks have picked Christina to do a special performance (remember her jazz diddy she did with Herbie Hancock last year/year before last maybe?)
While that didn't do much for me…
last night she MURDERED it.
But damn if Fantasia wouldn't have MADE IT RAIN. Okay. Enough.
MJB did her thang, and won some awards. White folks love her know don't they?
Gotta mention the Police. Very solid set.
The one thing about the show that REALLY bothered me was the sorta canned pairing of artists.

I do a lot of 'playa' shit on the regular. Real smooth, 'Chevy' shit.
So I'm goin list a couple of those things. I have more, but this is off the top of my head. Feel free to add on.
-When walking into a store and the line is long, just giving the cashier the amount of whatever you're buying and a tip. Then just walk out. And while walking out, tipping your hat to the people waiting in line.
-When chilling with less than desirable broads, making them drink cheap ass liquor while you drink top shelf. For example, if you and your boys are chilling with said undesirable females, pour them a cup of cranberry juice with Barton's vodka. Now you pour you and your boys some Belvy. Watch the disdain in these broads' face.
-Walk into a crowded restuarant. While everybody is sitting there holding those funny little coasters that buzz when a table is ready, walk up to the hostess and say "I made a reservation." When the waitress says "sure sir, walk right this way", turn to the people waiting and throw em the dueces. If with a female, put your hand into her back pocket or on her ass if she doesn't have back pockets after shooting the crowd the dueces. This will get you those 
looks, but fuck it. You just pulled a 'Chevy' move.
Add on…
