Bonita Applebum..

This song is featured on my playlist below on the left side. I thought that this video was funny. I guess it's because of the lyrics itself in the song. The term 'Bonita Applebum' means 'Beautiful Apple Bottom'. I don't find it disturbing and demeaning. A Tribe Called Quest just wanted to embrace and talk about defined curves of a woman. There is nothing wrong with that unless they use the wrong phrase such as "Hey, that girl got a fat ass" or something like that. Now that is stupid. This group could also use the word 'derrière' to mention the buttocks. I love this term better because it sound more feminine and voluptuous. It makes us sound pretty and more worthy of looking at =]...but hey what can you do? So enough blabbering...here goes the video.

80's Flava

In addition to the Adidas sneakers that will never go out of style, the bright colors and the 80's look will never die. If you take a good look around you and observe, you will see men and women wear the same type of patterns. Men wear layered looks, bright patterns, plaid, skinny jeans, Nike, Vans, and other sneakers. For the women including myself, we like to wear leggings with sneakers, high heels, and ballet flats. We also like to wear bright colors such as yellow, lime green, neon orange, plaid patterns and the layered look as well. I personally like the look because it's different and it's fun. I feel like a rockstar at times when I dress the part =]. It's always a good look when you're ready to go to a party and just dance the night away with friends. No matter what era it is, the 80's look will always have its title and its influence on everyone.

ADIDAS

What can I say about these bad boys? They will never go out of style. Adidas sneakers have been around since the 80s...maybe even longer. I know that they've been around since the 80s because I'm an 80's baby and I've seen Run DMC wear them. Well, not in person but you know what I mean. No one really knew about Adidas sneakers until they started wearing them with no shoelaces. Who would really wear sneakers without shoelaces??? That's unheard of lol. But they proved me wrong when I saw it. It was an inventive way to express another type of style that has never been done before and it was clever. Soon as they started doing it, everyone else did it in order to be cool back in the day. Now people like Nick Cannon on "Wild N' Out" wanted to bring the style back and rock Adidas with no laces. I guess he wanted to honor the legendary Rev. Run because he was a guest on there and play the part..I don't know...but it was cool. I personally don't own Adidas sneakers anymore, but I would love to have another pair again. They're comfortable, casual, and stylish. I can't complain. =]

The Beastie Boys...

You know what's interesting to me? The Beastie Boys. I have never really listened to them before...not because they are caucasian rappers, but because of their unique style. I didn't have the chance to sit down and listen to them until I played Guitar Hero III the other day with one of my sorority sisters. The name of the song was "Sabotage" and they encorporated rock & hip-hop together just like run dmc did. It was cool. It's an ok song but a song that I do like from them is "Brass Monkey". It has a funky fresh beat to it. I respect them as artists because they all bring something new to the scene.

Children's Story by Slick Rick

One of the best rappers there are in time. To many he is known as the story teller of hip hop. To others, he is a legend. Collaborating with Doug E Fresh was the best decision that they have made. They have been inseperable ever since. Today, this blog will feature a video by Slick Rick...a famous video I might add. I love this video because it has an old feel to it. The silent movie effect made his story come alive.

Patriots...K!ck R0cks!!!!

I know that this post is way off topic from my theme, but I just have to state the obvious that we k!cked ass out there in Arizona last night. I must say that Superbowl 42 was the best game that I've seen, because of the fact that the Patriots were undefeated and Giants were considered Underdogs to many and the Big Blue guys won... SCREW YOU PATRIOT FANS, HAHA!!! I'll admit that I was getting nervous when Randy Moss made the touchdown and moved the score up to 13-10. At that moment my Dad and I started to call each other back and forth to make sure that we saw every play that was being made (Side note: I love the Sobe Life water commercial with the lizards and Naomi Campbell dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller...Hilarious! lol). I also told him that if and WHEN the Giants win, my birthday present for me this weekend from him will be a new Giants jersey with either Shockey, Strahan, Manning, Toomer, Bradshaw, or Burress jersey since he did make the winning touchdown.

I love NY spirit, I really do...as soon as the Giants won, fans from left and right were honking their horns from their cars, flashing lights, lit fireworks, screamed LET'S GO GIANTS!, and the Empire State Building proudly displayed the color of blue. The NY spirit was flowing through my veins when I went back to campus with my ' NY Giants' & 'Superbowl XLII' balloons, tied it to my friend's door, rang the doorbell & ran lol (She's a huge Patriots fan, she's from Boston... eww, but I still love her lol). Then I came back when she opened up the door, because I wanted my balloons back & I wanted to rub our victory in her face some more. I also called my friend & left her 2 voicmails saying that the Patriots suck & of course I laughed...she hasn't called me back since, but she'll get over it...she's really mad that they lost. You see guys, that's what happens when you don't have any faith...Karma bites you in the ass big time! As a result of it, we won, and we lived happily ever after...
