In Crazy Music: Lupe Fiasco Releases New Mixtape!
Here is today's Crazy Music...
I will admit, I am a HUGE fan of Lupe Fiasco.Lupe gave his fans a true treat by releasing his latest mixtape, Enemy of The State: A Love Story on Thanksgiving Day. I had the chance to listen to some of the tracks and I truly enjoyed what I heard. As a lyricist, I think that he doesn't get the credit that he truly deserves. Unfortunately, if you don't drink sizzurp out of white cups or if you don't rap about "Getting every girl in the world", the industry does not care for you. However, we here at Crazyland respect REAL music, therefore I think it is important for me to share the greatness.
Here are some tracks featured on the mixtape and while you are listening go download the mixtape NOW! Enjoy ;-)
Stylish Sunday Brunch: Selita's Style and "I Like My Supras, Daddy!"
Before I begin, I will admit one thing: I am not a fashion-junkie like many women I know. I grew up in a house where we thought that having the latest pair of soccer cleats was the trendiest thing in the world. However, I've grown into my girlish ways and I am proud to say I am finding my inner fashionista from within.
Today, as I was checking out my daily websites, I stumbled upon this look inspired by model Selita Ebanks over at fabsugar.com. I love her minidress and fur-shrug(though I would prefer the faux kind. I am not balling like that...yet.) Finally,the patent booties with the sheer stockings and black leather gloves gives it a great touch. I would definitely would wear this to any party or even a nice date. As the fashionistas say now-a-days, this look is very chic. Snaps Snaps!

In Crazy Music: Buy Two Pan Pizza, Get Rihanna's Album for Free, Adam Lambert's Contreversial Performance and Lady Gaga Says It's Ok to Be a Freak!
I was checking my Twitter(@CrazyPrettyLady) and I stumbled upon this nonsense! As you all know, Rihanna's new, dark album Rated R is not doing so well and her record label, Def Jam, decided to mark the album down to 99 cents. As if that is not embarrassing enough, they decided to work with Pizza Hut to sale the album. So, if you buy two pan pizzas, you can get the album for free. DAMN!!! ARE THE SALES THAT BAD?!?!?!?!SMH, I am sorry but I am not suprised that the album flopped. She is trying to act as if she is hard and she isn't. I think she needs to just take some time for herself and figure out what she wants to do with her life.
In other news...
Adam Lambert is the new boobgate! Well, not exactly, but damn near close to it! If you have been under a rock this whole week, you missed the scandal that is Adam Lambert. During his performance at Sunday's AMAs, Glambert had a full make-out session with his male keyboardist and poised on stage as if he was getting some head (politcial term: imitating oral sex). After the show, ABC has been getting a lot of criticism for the performance and banned Adam from performing on Good Morning America. Noticing that they could probably get a lot of much need publicity, CBS's Early Show invited him onto their show Tuesday to react to all the criticism. (Smart move CBS! Smart move!) During his interview, Adam said that he felt "picked on" about his performance only because he was a man. He goes on to point out that "Lady Gaga smashed liquor bottles; Janet grabs a man's crotch and no body says anything about it." When asked how did he feel knowing that children were watching the show, he simply said " I am not their parent, I am a performer. (OOOHHHH CHILE!!! GLAMBERT IS THROWING SHADE!!!)
In my opinion, I felt the performance was a tad bit too much. I mean, this was Adam's first performance. We are not used to Adam yet so for him to start out like that was quite intense for me. However, I do agree with him when he mentioned that there is a double standard going on. Let's face it, since he is a gay man kissing a man, people are outraged and throwing Holy Water on their television set. If you are going to get mad at the performance, you should get mad at Madonna, Britney Spears and everyone who are "raunchy." Keep it equal across the board.
Finally,
Well, Kudos to you,Gaga! I respect a person who doesn't care about other people opinions. But, sometime, the woman does scare the hell out of me. I mean, the woman had blood coming out of her during her VMAs performance, SO I will continue to watch her, with with my hands over my eyes to shield me from the madness....
In Crazy News: MTV Stereotyping Against Italians, Are Black Women getting Fat on Purpose and Ms. J Tells all in New Book
Happy Wednesday!!!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! I definitely have been starving myself today to make sure that I have enough space to fit the TONS of food that I will be munching on tomorrow. (Listen, if you have a mother like mine, who knows how to throw down in the kitchen, you would definitely do the same thing.)
Here is the latest in Crazy News....If you've been watching MTV lately, you probably have seen the commercial for their upcoming series "Jersey Shore." The new reality-show will document the hard-partying lifestyle of the shore towns along the New Jersey Coast. The series features an Italian- American group who are pretty much drinking, partying, hooking-up and tanning on the show (in any particular order). While the network is excited for its premiere, some groups are not so happy with its show's upcoming release and even go as far as to call the show "racist against Italian Americans." According to AOL's Pop Eater, UNICO, the largest Italian American Service Organization in the US, are not pleased with the release of the show. Unico president Andre DiMino told the Associated Press that "'Jersey Shore' is nothing shy of 'trash television.' "
Is it? Here is the commercial of the show, Do you think it is truly offensive?
In other news....
I must admit, I have not been keeping up with this season's America's Next Top Model. I mean it had gotten a tad bit boring, plus I can probably catch the whole entire season by watching re-runs on the Oxygen Network on Sundays. However, I do love me some Ms. J! J. Alexander, the runway diva has some of the baddest legs I have ever seen (even though he is a man!) J has released a tell-all book called Follow The Model. The book will talk about Ms. J's journey in the fashion world.
He took the time to talk to AOL's Black Voice about his book:
I talk too much as it is, and I am a great storyteller. I thought telling stories would be great in a book about my journey. With a push from agent Nancy Josephson and a shove from agent Suzy Unger, we all made it happen!
You reveal a lot that your fans don't know about you. Was writing about your life therapeutic?
Maybe I revealed too much! In a way it was therapeutic. I got my mind to think about other things, other than designer ball gowns and the latest pair of this season's heels. It opened up a thought process of memories, which made me relax and smile.
I love little touches like the designer pronunciation guide and the guide to Karl Lagerfeld. What made you include these instead of doing a straight bio?
Because the average person outside of fashion who buys this book may not know who some of the latest designers are, let alone how to pronounce their names!
I was shocked to read that you once considered becoming an accountant. What made you think it was a good idea at the time?
My sister, who I idolized, Barbara Ann, who died of breast cancer, worked at an accounting firm. That is where I had my first job in Manhattan as a messenger. I was fascinated by calculators and key-punch machines. Calculators because of totaling up my future earnings and key-punch machines because the cards that came out of the machine reminded me of perforated leather jackets. Plus, I knew one day I would need to know how to manage my money and to make sure I get every penny owed and promised to me!
After reading some of the reviews, I am curious to read how this diva from the Bronx made his way to Paris. Hopefully, you will be reading it too!
Finally,
I stumbled upon this video over at Dimewars.com. In the following clip, this woman claims that African American women are obese because men are more attractive to "fat black women". I am not going to lie, the woman sound kind of ignorant. I find it funny that she is throwing shade at her own, knowing damn well she ugly ass hell too. ( I'm sorry, if you are ugly, it is not a good thing to be talking badly about people. I'm just saying.) Watch the clip below and judge for yourself......
Throwback Tuesday: R&B Grooves
Hello, My Crazy Ones....
Now, I know what you are saying, " Girl, you do realize that it's Wednesday, right?" I know that!!! What happen was my computer decided to have a psycho moment and not allow me to post Throwback Tuesdays....so MY BAD!!!
Anyway, if you are a college student like me, you probably suffer from many night where you cannot go to bed. I have been suffering from sleeples nights A LOT due to all the work I need to do (maybe it is also has something to do with all of the thoughts that are going on in this big head of mine. Yes, I do have a big head. I DARE YOU TO CRACK A JOKE!)
So, one night when I couldn't sleep, I decided to go onto You Tube to watch some videos and I stumbled upon MY JAM!! Now, I am happy to see R&B making a true comeback with the help of artists like Musiq Soulchild, Trey Songz, and Ne-Yo but nothing can compare to the soul and the music of what R&B use to be in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Even me, "I hate mushiness" attitude acts like a gitty little girl when a good R&B song use to come on BET(when they actually played videos.) However, I must give the network credit for creating the Centric Channel. I actually like that channel and THEY ACTUALLY PLAY MUSIC VIDEOS! YAY!
So enjoy this trip down memory lane (feel free to turn your volumes up high....)
