“No More Lies” is the blazingest track from Michel’le’s 1989 debut album, there is no doubt about that. It still sounds as fresh and complex now as it did back then—and that hook is completely insane.

In your defense, she used to be.

Of course Jezebel focuses on the least relevant emails and ignores the meat and potatoes because *gasp* it is critical of their fave.

What a beautiful man.

I thought it was super-cute how she held her hand a bit differently just so her ring was clearly visible!

The smile on her face when she jumps back into the choreography at the end! So fucking cute.

Much like my sentiments about Phyllis Schlafly, I will not malign the dead, especially with phrases like “mysognoiristic fuck”. That is something I will not do.

Oh, you are not alone. His beard is way nicer, & he’s got a bone-structure to make The Rock weep w/envy... Figures it’s just an old class-mate. My impression as a long-time observer of MFA classes was that even those who were super-hot couples thru the whole program usually broke up shortly after graduation :\ .

... is it terrible that I think he’s cuter than her actual boyfriend?

For what it’s worth, Alicia Keys had really bad skin up until recently. I assume she started an acne treatment, because before you could see her acne under professionally applied makeup. And she used to wear a ton of makeup. Now that her acne is gone, she’s showing off her beautiful skin, she probably appreciates it…

I don’t understand your last question - she has what looks like two french braids, that yes probably have hair braided in to make them longer.

I would have loved to play dress up in a gown that magnificent as a kid. It’s like peak dress up.

Blue Ivy looks AMAZING. That is all.

Reading this thread made me legit sad more people don’t know about Salux. THERE IS A BETTER WAY! FREE YOURSELF FROM WASHCLOTH AND LOOFAH TYRANNY!

If you don’t have an exfoliating wash cloth, like the kind Auntie Esther uses at the Korean spa in the communal shower, then you are washing wrong. You can just throw those suckers into the washing machine too.

Great comment, but could you stop staring at my kids? Thanks

Does everyone realize the entire song is M-E-T-H-O-D Man off of 36 chambers just being sung-spoken? It’s not just interpolated, it’s the whole song.

Yeah. On this point, I felt MIA is English and Tamil. She has lived her life as a brown person from an ethnic group that has alot in common with how blacks are treated in the US, and her ethnic group is also persecuted in Sri Lanka, so I feel more comfortable with her donning the “outsider” garb that is hip hop.…

i was thinking the same thing.... if this was a white girl i feel like this would have been a very different critique.
