Exactly! No one knew the Spice Girls were British while they were singing. Same for Adele. Amy Winehouse. Joss Stone. (Yes, I know all my examples are white women sans Scary Spice. The irony is not lost on me.)

"I am going to assume that by now, most of us who read this blog are familiar with Dom Kennedy."

Define "unusual spot." All my business seems to happen in a bathroom.

I still don't know why everyone's so up in arms over Iggy. She's not new. She's been around for years now, but this is her first big hit.

Define "at first." You think Iggy's a "new artist"? Naaaaaw, son. She's been around for a while. She just hit the mainstream last year, that's all.

Yeah, wow, that sounds pretty rapey. I would have to have a serious reevaluation of the relationship if one of my boys was out here eye-molesting people.

I still don't understand. You went through all that story build-up and then just skipped all over the climax. WDDDA??! I read that whole post expecting to learn what constitutes "rapey" behavior and I'm still at a loss.

Thank you! I am so confused.

STUFFING.

All day. I used to love her and then hated when she came out a few years ago with the stick-figure look.

I missed True Blood last night. Caught The Leftovers tho. That ish was weird, but mildly interesting.

You have far too much faith in the entity known as "BET."

Did not watch. Will not watch. Never gonna watch. Shouts to Huny for the nod to Zebra Katz. lol

Two cents: I love brunch. I'm all about the brunch. It is my FAVORITE meal on any day by a wide margin. But this whole "see and be seen" vibe is news to me. Mayhaps it's different in the northeast, but in South Florida (in my experience), I'm here for the food and the drank, my G. Miss me with the fashion show.

Damn, I forgot about that song. One of 3 Waka Flocka songs I actually liked.
…And now I've got that beat stuck in my head.

I'm not about the TV sports-watching life, unless it's NBA playoff season. I'm always down for seeing a game in person, but watching on TV is just all sorts of boring. If we're talking about playing sports, though, I'm all over that. Grab the ball, lace up your sneaks, let's get it!

lmao Were you surprised that the "paint" was literal?

"Lupe tha Killa" is a song title. I see what you're doing tho.

Who the hell has a problem with "Giovanni"? And then compares it to "Jamarcus" or "Lashonda"? What part of the game is that?

I've actually never heard this name said out loud. So I had no idea how to pronounce it until this comment.
