Crazy Question: Can Twitter Make or Break A Show's Success?

On Saturday, I had to endure a four hour trip to go to an art gallery opening.  When we had to stop for gas, I would read my timeline on Twitter to see what's going on. I noticed that everyone and their mother was tweeting about the BET Hip Hop Awards happening in the ATL this weekend.

Everyone was tweeting about who was there, who won an award, who was whack, how people didn't get up to honor Guru but got up to do the Dougie *evil side eye* and the beef that brewed between Wacka " I need to go back to school and learn how to talk" Flocka Flame and Stephen Hill.

Everyone was tweeting and revealing what was going on that I started to wonder, "What the hell is the point to watch the damn show when I already know what the hell is going to happen and what they are probably going to cut out?"

So, I poise the question: " Can Social Media Effect The Success of a business, a show or even a person?"

As much as we praise social media, can it destroy us at the same time? Think about it, many people threw criticisms at the award ceremony, do you think that people will still tune in? Or, do you think the criticism will help the network?

What do you think?

PS: Next, BET, I suggest you banned anyone from tweeting, facebooking, myspacing, linkedining or whatever-ing about the show next year. You want people to be surprise, I'm just saying.....

Crazy Music: I Know A Song That Gets On Everybody's Nerves.......





Imagine working in a office with mostly men. Now, imagine hanging out with "Big Meech" fanatics. Now, imagine working with mostly dudes AND they're obssessed with a big, fat Miami rapper that goes by the name of Rick Ross. Yep, that's my sorrow.

I've practically heard this man's album over....and over.......and over....AND OVER for the past two months!

Don't get me wrong peeps, I respect the man's hustle but GOT DAMN! How many times do I have to see broke ass dudes call themselves "Big Meech" ;-\

So,  since I have to deal with the torture, so will YOU!!!! mwhahahahahahaha Check out the Rick Ross tunes I can actually tolerate.

Warning: DEAR MEN OF AMERICA, IF YOU CALL YOURSELF BIG MEECH ONE MORE TIME, I'M GOING TO SMACK THE SH*T OUT OF YOU! YES, ALL OF YOU!!!!!
SIGNED, CPL





Good day :-)

Wednesday Eye Candy: Oh No She Didn't!



You might be familiar with singer/songwriter Miguel through his hit single, All I Want Is You. However, I loved Miguel since my MySpace days! This Cali native has an impeccable voice and a sexy swag that can have you lost for words. I'm so happy to see that he is getting the love he deserved.

Check out some of his songs off his critically acclaimed mix tape. I must warn you, you probably will be thinking about sex the whole entire day, just saying :-)

Monday Eye Candy: If I Had To Do A Vampire, It Would Be With......

Happy Monday Boys and Girls!



I feel like I've been missing out on the True Blood movement. I am highly upset that no one told me that this show was down right good! It's like a dope ass soap opera that actually shows the sex scenes! 


Anyway, I couldn't help but to LUST over the sexiness that is Eric Northman. Ladies, let's be honest, we would not mind being this vampire's sex slave ( Lord knows I wouldn't mind, chain ME up! :-) ) 


The man behind the sexy vampire is Alexander Skarsgård. The Swedish actor is also a director and starred in Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi."( The things you learn from IMBD.com)


Feast your eyes on this sexy immortal! 


I think I'm now a True Blood fan, viva la vampires!!!!!! :-)

Monday Crazy Music: "Get Munny" With Badu

Hola Mi Locitas!

I am going to be honest, I've been M.I.A. lately.  I have so much going on that it is important for me to have a punching bag and a bottle of Belvedere and wine on stand by at all times. (Check out today's   Mean Muggin' Monday post to see why)


Anyway.....

I love Erykah Badu, I really do. I consider Ms. Badu to be my crazy ass friend in my head that continues to mind f*ck me with all of her wardrobe changes and antics but I adore her for that. HOWEVER, I don't know how I feel about her new video for her song, "Get Munny." Don't get me wrong, the B.I.G. sample is dope and I loved the song from the time I heard it but the video is leaving a bad after taste in my month.

Peep the video below, can you dig it?

Thursday Eye Candy: Idris Elba Is Too FINE!!!


I will admit, I rarely buy magazines. I usually just go to Barnes and Noble, buy a Carmel Macchiato and enjoy the magazine right then and there and bounce. (I know that sounds REALLY bad but times is rough people!)  However, after peeping this month's Ebony Magazine, I had to buy it to get a second glimpse of the sexiness that is Idris Elba. Not only is the man FIONE but his accent will make a girl think...things!!!!

So, enjoy today's chocolate goodness and pick up this month's Ebony magazine on newsstand now! :-)

DELISH!!!!!!

Wednesday Grooves & Crazy Music: You Call It Young Money, I Call It Junior M.A.F.I.A.


















Good morning my loves!

As you all are aware, Young Money is arguably the undisputed rap team taking over the hip hop game. I can't hate on the team. Young Money is collecting that money, literally. With Lil Wayne as the front man, he has gathered a strong militia to take over mainstream radio.

However, being a hip hop head and a native NYer, I can't help but to get a tad bit salty when I hear some of their fans call them "original" or "the first team to ever put it down in the game." Anyone who actually understands and know a thing or two about the game knows that Young Money is NOT that original as they try to portray themselves to be.

I am not going to sugar coat it nor build up suspense about what I am going to say; I'm just going to say it:

YOUNG MONEY IS THE MODERN, MAINSTREAM VERSION OF WHAT JUNIOR M.A.F.I.A. DID IN THE '90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There I said it!!!! It urks me that hip hop websites, hip hop bloggers, hell NEW YORKERS haven't came out to state this OBVIOUS fact. Now, I am not saying this top throw shade at Young Money as I respect their hustle, however, do not, I repeat, DO NOT believe they are original because just as how Lil' Wayne recruited a group of artists to be apart of his movement, the late, great Notorious B.I.G. did the same thing. I will even go as far as to say that Big was the first to even do that and get mainstream attention.

So for today's grooves, I want you to watch the Junior M.A.F.I.A. video then look at Young Money. You'd be the judge....

Enjoy! :-)

The intelligent and realest rapper to ever step foot in the hip hop game's music still knocks and will always touch the heart of those who listen to it. To celebrate the rap legends birthday, check out my all-time favorite Tupac joint.

Crazy Music: Hear Her Roar....Literally

Why Good Day My Crazy Loves!


It's been crazy here at Crazyland but if our lives are not hectic and crazy, then my friends, we are dead. Just saying. 


For today's Crazy Music, I would like to introduce to who I think will be the next big singer to hit the R&B scene. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Awwwww, here we go!!! Another blogger saying someone is hot when they are far from it." However, trust me when I say that this young lady definitely has the talent and the creds to take her career to the next level. Plus, growing up in the concrete jungle, you always see people say they want to make it in the game but shorty definitely puts her money where her mouth is!!!

Young world, I would like to introduce you to the artist the goes by the name Cheeki or CheekiTheSinger or Cheekipowpow (you see!!!! She's already channeling her inner mogul status with the name changes. GO 'HEAD GIRL!!!). Although she can be considered a rookie when it comes to "the business," she's been grinding her way to get into the industry her whole life,singing and writing her own songs while still learning how to gain longevity in the game. This is rare look for those who follow the entertainment/music world because everyone wants to start out at the top but never want to work their way up there.

CheekiPowPow’s long-awaited first project has been recently released and has already been getting buzz via Twitter and Facebook. “Hear Me Roar” has been available for free download via various media outlets, particularly: Reverbnation, and Datpiff.com . This album is the perfect marriage of mixtape, she-mixes and original songs, which is why Cheeki often refers to it as her Malbum (mixtape/album) This started with her re-mix of Kid Cudi’s Day N Night which has accumulated approximately 30,000 listens/views via youtube. (If you haven't peep the track, listen here.) 

Cheeki is independently releasing “Hear Me Roar” with the help of  producer Skyz Muzik and popular up and coming rapper GreggSelf . Producer/graphic designer Prophecy, is also responsible for producing some of Cheeki’s best records. She is currently being guided by a number of reputable moguls but is still seeking a manager that fits her style, energy, drive and vision.

Although Cheeki is embarking on the release of her freshman album, the writing and most of the production for her EP is nearly completed. She plans to have a 5 song second introduction to the music world - out by early 2011. Her next moves include the formation of a band for a more engaging live performance. Auditioning for musicals +Modeling and performing more in shows in which she can be a featured act. No Grind no shine, right?

So, get familiar with the singer. Trust me, you will dig it and fellas, you can just stare at her boobs and think she is singing to you. See, she can sing you a song and get you off all at the same time. That's a down ass chick :-) 

So cop the malbum here.....


Later days :-)

Wednesday Eye Candy: I Can't Give Him The "Cole" Shoulder

Why hello there my pretties!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. Now, I must admit something: I was not really diggin' today's eye candy when I first heard of him. A friend of mine introduced me to the rapper and I wasn't sure if I would be a fan of his. However, after hearing his DOPE-TASTIC freestyle on Funk Master Flex, he has definitely made me a fan.

The rapper I'm talking about is J.Cole. The North Carolina raised 25-year old was born in Germany (European, sweet!). The dude definitely has talent as well as brains(COME ON, PEOPLE!!! Too early to think so flithy!!!!!!)

Mr.Cole graduated from St.John's University magna cum laude which is rather impressive. The rapper is signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation so I will definitely be on the look out for what's to come with  this dude. Plus, he's easy on the eyes :-)








Check out his official fan page here to learn more about the rapper.

Crazy Music: Oh, Kelis


So, I was perusing over at NecoleBitchie.com when I stumbled upon the craziness that is Kelis. Now, I am not going to lie, I dig Kelis as a musician. She has been riding that crazy train even before we ever heard of Gaga and I truly respect her for being true to her art. HOWEVER, I am having a hard time to respect this chick as a woman. She is tip toeing on the line of gold digger for me because she is milking her ex-husband Nas for everything he has and that's just not cool but we shall save that issue for another post. Check out some of the shots from her upcoming album, "Fleshtone" not available for release in the U.S. until July 6th.

P.S.- Am I the only one who thinks her poising as a half breed dog are*shots fired* at PETA??? I think that is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!

aaaahhhh shit!!!!!!!

Tuesday Grooves: ' Why Don't You Love Me'



Buenas Martes!

You can hate on her or even say what you want about the woman but Beyonce is truly a talented woman. I just peeped her new music video, "Why Don't You Love Me" and I must say, I'M IMPRESSED! The song, written by the eclectic Knowles family member Solange, channels the 1960s and was done wonderfully.


Check out the video below. Are you digging it?

Monday Eye Candy: 'I Feed The Streets'

Happy Monday!

It's been truly emotional here at Crazyland but no need to fear, I have everything under control so now to your regularly scheduled program.

For today's eye candy, I'll like to salute the men that are not "mainstream". Now, I could go on for days talking about how some of your favorite artists have sold their soul to the record labels but this particular artist not only has the #1 song out right now but his new album, released last week, is FIYAH.

The artist I'm talking about is none other than B.o.B.

Before his hit song, "Nothing On You" was killing the radio waves, I was introduced to the rapper by my friend who goes to Clark Atlanta University. She knew my obsession with Lupe and said I should check him out. After listening to a couple mixtapes and studying his work through Youtube videos, I'm glad to see homie getting what he deserves.

B.o.B is also rather easy on the eyes. He is not "tongue wagging" hot but homie is delish in his own way.

Plus, his swagger reminds me of Lupe so that is always a bonus in my book.
So congratulation Mr. Ray, sir. You've made it onto the eye candy list. Now, all you need to do is admit you ride a skateboard and know what Barnes & Nobles is and you will win in my book. Listen, I've met dudes who don't read and as a writer of a blog, that's an EFFIN insult!

Check out one of my favorite songs off his new album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray.

I'll know you will dig it!
