“If I don’t like it I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hating…” ~ Common “The Sixth Sense” Like Water For Chocloate
I get called a hater all the time. And well, me and Reggie Noble? We’ll be dat.
Now I can’t in good consciousness refer to myself as a hater. That makes no sense. For one, I’m too sexxy (for this shirt) for that. For b, what exactly is a hater anyway?
I’ve always viewed haters as those assholes who came up with asinine reasons for not liking something or knocking somebody down. You know that bullsh*t like, “Beyonce looks like a robot version of Brak from Space Ghost.”
That’s just not true.
Or even better, my favorite hater to want to slap the monkeyshine sh*t out of: the person who just can’t be happy for anybody. You know this dude very well. Somebody gets a promotion and he’s on some, “he probably tossed a few salads to get to the top” type stuff. True or not, that’s hateration at its finest.
Tyra Banks on the season finale of ANTM last night? Not at her finest. Word to the wise, my ebony sisters, dirty blond wigs mixed with the dresses from East Hell makes you look a gay metrosexual moose with a wig on that smokes Newports and only drinks Zima out of a shot glass.
Now see, that could be construed as hating, except…it’s totally true.
See, that’s not hating.
Well, anyway, this got me to thinking about stuff I’ve been accused of hating on. And quite possilby it’s true. There are things and people I just don’t “get” and in my lack of “getting it” I tend to make known my disdain for such things, which can be construed as hating.
So f*ck it. Call me a hater. Hell, call me what you want but don’t call me on my Sidekick.
I have an iPhone, beeyotch.
So, without further ado, things that Panama Jackson just doesn’t get and “hates” on:
Drake - I honestly don’t understand the hype behind this cat. Sure he can rap. Whoopty damn do. Sure he can sing. Whoopy damn do. He is about as interesting to me as Soulja Boy is deep. Read: not very. Plus, his entire rap style is Kanye’s…except, Kanye is WAY more entertaining than he is. The funny thing about Drake is that it seems like the whole world fell in love with him at the same time. In one two week span, I got no less than 20 emails, IMs, texts, and phone calls on some, “have you heard of Drake?” Yes, bitch, I have. And no I’m not feeling him. I’d rather go watch a puma screw an oddly named IKEA appliance than listen to So Far Gone again.
(Suggestion: Now if you want to hear that good raw hiphop, then I suggest you check out Diamond District’s “In The Ruff” album. Been on repeat for the past three weeks. Real.Hip.Hop, dawg.)
Twitter – I’m on twitter right now trying to understand it. Lots of folks are following me which is a shame because I update like every other other day. And for no reason and with nothing interesting to say for real. If you really want to holler at the good Reverand Petey Jakes, hit me on AIM or GChat or something.
Basically, tweet deez.
Panama - Ole wacksauce second tier bloggin’ a** ninja.
Hill Harper - He’s never seen a bad script he wouldn’t jump on and yet for some reason, women swoon over this cat like he’s Hollywood Will Smith and sh*t. He hasn’t done anything of real accomplishment aside from graduating from college and going to school with Obama and writing a book for women (I think). You know who else wrote a book for women? Iceberg Slim.
Skinny jeans - “I can’t wear skinny jeans cuz my knot to thick” I have no earthly idea why grown ass men thing wearing denim tights is the way to go but there’s a whole lot of buttchex looking cats running around influencing our youth.
Tyler Perry movies – Mostly because they suck.
OJ Da Juiceman - Sike. I totally get this one. He’s talented and makes me believe in myself.
Katt Williams - Mostly because he’s really not funny in his standup. Actually, it’s ALL because he’s not funny in his standup.
I think that’s enough of Panama’s dislikes for now. So my good friends here at the VSB.com HQ, what are some nouns that other people seem to love but you just ain’t feeling and get accused of hating on?
-VSB P aka THE ARSONIST aka TANGLE JIG P aka YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD 3

I am with you on the Twitter thing. It’s for losers. Sorry one and all. I can take the heat.
Others:
Jennifer Hudson: Not. feeling. her. at. all. I did not think her Star Spangled Banner was great. Nor did I think her Dream Girls performance was great. Sure…she blew Bey out the water, acting wise. But is that that hard to do?
Idris. My feelings about the crust have been made known.
Carol’s Daughter. NONE of her products do anything for me. Waste of my money! Infusium leave in, Garnier conditioner and conditioning styling cream and Neutrogena Deep Conditioner work better. And it’s…gasp…cheaper.
house music. Prefer true 70s disco.
making friends/giving someone a chance. I could care less about it. I am never rude but I can tell if someone is an a$$ wipe in about 10 minutes. If my gut says you ain’t cool, I don’t extend the energy to get to know you. And I think I have been right 100% of the time. Now, my instinct on who IS cool is far less refined and I’ve been wrong numerous times.
life long friendships. Some people ain’t meant to be around forever.
@iloVEGrits,
D*mn @ “Twitter is for losers”. Don’t hold back. Tell us how you truly feel.
@Luvvie,
I use the term in the most positive sense of the word.
*tentatively* e-hug?
@iloVEGrits,
damn. guess not. sniff.
@iloVEGrits,
*side-eye*
*gives V Church hug*
*mo’ side-eye*
@Luvvie,
lol @ the lingering side eye.
@Luvvie,
lol NOT the church hug aka booty out w/ lazy pat on the back.
@Gem-balaya, lol NOT the church hug aka booty out w/ lazy pat on the back.
lmao, that’s the mosque hug but include 2 (or 45 if they ayrab) air kisses to both cheeks.
@Luvvie,
Twitter isn’t for losers, just narcissists.
@Monk,
agreed.
@Monk,
You tryna call me a narciss…
*passes mirror* Oooooo I look FLY today!
@Luvvie,
If the shoe fits, be Cinderella.
@iloVEGrits,
say it ain’t so.. Not Idris.. not Mr. Elba.. say it ain’t so.. I think he’s the hottest thing since sliced bread.. you can’t be serious..
as for twitter, it takes some getting used to..
Its legalized stalking at its best.. why not enjoy it.. can’t blame me for being a voyeur!
@Liryc,
“legalized stalking”
this is a good thing? lolol.
@iloVEGrits,
Hey I can’t get arrested for knowing what you’re doing at every minute of the day, and I don’t have to hide in your bushes in hopes of getting little glances of you so in my book I’d have to say YES…
@Liryc, exactly, people cant get mad when their business (or naked body parts) is in the streets because they told me and the rest of the tweeps before the s%*t went down.
@Liryc,
legalized stalkin = yups thats exactly what it is
(high 5)
@iloVEGrits, “Carol’s Daughter. NONE of her products do anything for me.”
I thought that I was the only one. After the hype, I tried about 3 different products and it didn’t do anything for me. I don’t understand what the fuss is all about.
@Leila,
I was mad. The hype had me amped to buy the stuff and I was like ‘wth’?
@iloVEGrits,
i refuse to try it bec they dont have samples and the price point is way to high. i feel same way about miss jessies. that ish has WAY too many chemicals and frankly i dont NEED a 32 oz tub of product. tried it once (used my friends) and it took fooooooooooooooooooor.eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr for my hair to dry. AND i had crunchy hair. i could have gotten the same results with some black gel. for cheaper might i add.
sorry i just hate all these “natural” haircare products that are preying upon us.
im also not a fan of purchasing things from online. me, this chick right here, she’s all about instant gratification, and taking ish back to the store if it doesn’t work the way i like want it to. online stores, not so much
@iloVEGrits,
my hair appreciates garnier as well.
but now, when i want festive curls and ringlets i’m all about MIXEDCHICKS. their products will have me saying “do you like my styyy-elll?!?” for hours on end
@Gem-balaya,
Been meaning to try them.
@Gem-balaya,
Can you only buy MixedChicks online? I’ve tried everything for my hair (including Aveda Be Curly…that shiggity is WACK) and the only thing that worked was discontinued…R.I.P. Garnier Curl and Shine products. :’o(
@This Just In,
i don’t believe they sell it in stores but you can get it from one of their salons or salons who have it in stock. otherwise i guess it must be be purchased online.
my mom goes to a salon that sells it so she just sends it to me. such a good mommy. keeps me looking festive–like i am today!! DO YA LIKE MY STYYY-ELLL??!!
@Gem-balaya, mixedchicks! tho i am not a mixed chick, my hair tells me i am lol. i looove their products, and its a great condioner for your hair.
@overit,
you’re my etwin so its LIKE you’re mixed. same difference (p.s. i hate the phrase “same difference”)
@Gem-balaya,
Ummm… no.
@Luvvie
i’m sorry this convo is for mixedchick having hair only. the carol’s daughters reunion is down the hall. k thx bye
@iloVEGrits, Carol’s Daughter.
I agree. I did like her stuff much better years ago before she went corporate.
@iloVEGrits,
Carols Daughter is definitely a waste of good money…when i was a loose natural, that hair milk did nothing for my hair that curl activator could not do much better. and the loc butter is yucky…
@iloVEGrits, I’m so with you on the Idris thing. Plus, he wasn’t nice to his ex-wife. Same thing with Jen Hud. I don’t get it.
@iloVEGrits, Im hating on your list cause you listed errything I just don’t get before I did! Why does Carols daughter charge $20 for shampoo that is no better than diswashing liquid is beyond me…and JHuds album sucked donkey balls…
@CoCoPuffs,
lol @ JHuds album sucked donkey balls…
i thought the same thing and was shocked she was nominated for so many grammy’s. like, did they listen to the same ish i did??
@Gem-balaya,
j-hud can get it i likes me a thick woman
@BLUNTBLAZER,
man, first it was Sarah Jessica Parker, NOW J-Hud can get it? Dammit man…(SMH)
@Blk Bond,
naw im not that guy sarah aint she that skinny chick from sex in tha city naw she needs a few bbq’s
@Gem-balaya,
Not only that, but she won.
@iloVEGrits,
And methinks all you Carol’s Daughter haters got the “Mixed Girl” hair. It works for me :-p *shots fired*
@Luvvie,
naw. CD is just plain whack.
@Luvvie, i actually like carols daughter lol, i like all the products that were named, its just pricey and not as accesible as garnier and infusium.
@Luvvie,
It works for me too…
So you might be onto something here, hunny!
@Luvvie, I dont have mixed hair….but carols didnt work for me AT ALL.. CURLS cleansing cream and asian green tea conditioner and burts bees avocado pre treatment was the bomb diggity and noting defined my curl better than water good ol curl activator… the clear kind thats like 1.99 for 3 gallons…LOL
@iloVEGrits, I’m with you on Carol’s Daughter, but then again I’m relaxed, lol. But the Hair Milk and Kizzy Pomade do work wonders for Piggy Wiggy, but not so much to the point where I’ll run out and buy em again.
Oh, and Twitter? Tweet deez.
@iloVEGrits,
I really WANT to love me some Jennifer Hudson…but I can’t. *sigh* Loved her in “Dreamgirls” but nada else.
I’ve only purchased one product by Carol’s Daughter. This bronzing cream stuff. Waste of $20. Used it once and never again.
House music makes my ears bleed.
I’m not a h*ter, I just roast a lot.
iRoast:
*Hairhats – I’m sorry but weaves makes me scowl. Every 5 mins, a horse (probably in Detroit) loses its tail. *cues violins*
*House of Dereon – The clothes are tackier than a bed of thorns. Mama Tina needs not design jack but red lipstick (she loves em)
*Napoleon Dynamite – All the hype around the film. When I finally watched it, I MAY have chuckled once. BOOOO!
*Halle Berry in “Monster’s Ball” – Wackness! How she won an Oscar for that was beyond me. She was in greater movies and got 0 props (see: Losing Isaiah). The “Make me feel good” scene made me cringe. I averted my eyes till it was over
*Asher Roth – White boy with slightly clever words that he SPEAKS (not raps. That fool just talks) to a so-so beat. Now he’s famous. WOMP! Jeebs be some musical standards for us all.
@Luvvie,
“She was in greater movies and got 0 props (see: Losing Isaiah)”
She has never been in a good movie, imo. But I give her a pass b/c she tries, lol, and cuz she’s so darn cute.
@iloVEGrits,
um…Queen? “I’s NEGRA!!! AHHHHHHHHH!” Classic.
@charli skipper,
That line was classic. The acting? not so much. lol.
But she tried. hard. I know she did.
@iloVEGrits, That’s why I love her, she tries and is so cute!
@iloVEGrits, exsqueeze me, didn’t you like her in “Jungle Fever” as the crackhead with the foul mouth. I love that movie and I saw it when I was about 12 or 13 on HBO (what was my mom thinking, lol) and she scared me because I thought her and Samuel L. Jackson were crackheads for real (I know I was a sheltered child). This is her best role that I’ve seen her in and she wasn’t too bad in B.A.P.S. (I know I’m not PC but that movie was so wrong but so right because it was so funny).
@Luvvie,
Napoleon Dynamite was comedic stupidity that I found to be hilarious.. not everyone liked it.. but I did..
asher roth is a cool white rapper.. he’s no eminem, but he’s ok..
LMFAO @ hair hats.. weaves are sometimes needed.. I know women with really thinning hair and if it wasn’t for the weave they’d really be “bald head scallywags ain’t got no hair in the back”
I’ve worn my fair share of wigs and weaves.. and sometimes they are a needed accessory to an already fabulous outfit that couldn’t be achieved. its not that bad
@Liryc,
agreed. Weaves are okay if they are good weaves. And if you are not a repeated weave wearer.
Since I frown upon sistas who frown upon girls with natural hair, I try not to talk about weave lovers, unless they are Bey or Tyra (because they are repeat offenders). To each his own.
@Luvvie,
Halle made that movie so that 2520 would give her the Oscar. Nobody better doubt that.
Both Vanessa Williams and Angela Bassett turned that film down!
On the real, I really couldn’t take her seriously about how she tried dating Black men b4 her current mate (who is definitely a fine specimen) and couldn’t find one who would treat her right…If you’re judgment is so lapsed that you’d degrade yourself and women by picking a role like that, who really thinks you know how to point out a good guy?
(I’m not blaming her for whatever trials she went through, but after a while, like Kat said, “You gotta figure out what it is about yourself that keeps attracting ain’t sh!t n!ggas”)*
Good analysis of what that film was really about and it’s potential societal impact:
http://metaphilm.com/index.php/detail/monsters_ball/
*Sorry, I’ve been ranting as of late. I guess, as much as I try to like her, Halle is one of those who will eternally grind my gears because of that role.
@Lili, here here I am so sick f hearing well to do Americans crying about not being able to find a good mate-fools made more money in one decade than my grandmoms did in their entire life and have the nerve to make an issue out of not being able to find a good black man…We are out there but there are more excuses as to NOT date us than there are good men. On SBM.net some ditzy chick said the “more we men read the weaker our sex is” …wtf is that!?
Oh so you want a good man but not one that reads so much cuz it might lead to ED…ONLY a jaded overpaid American women would reach so far as to say something so lame…now peep them Mexicans DIRT POOR and yet they in most case I’ve seen ARE MARRIED do you realize Mexico has been in a recession since most of us have been alive? Yet boneheaed American women heard Halle (a wealthy woman) BS and actually thought “see told you so”…whatever! Her ass got homes on both coast and in Europe..her ass just like white guys
@Luvvie,
“*Napoleon Dynamite – All the hype around the film. When I finally watched it, I MAY have chuckled once. BOOOO!”
I only laughed twice, and afterwards I wanted that hour and a half of my life back…
bullish, I tell ya!
@miss t-lee,
i neva saw it
@BLUNTBLAZER,
You’re not missing much.
Trust me.
@Luvvie,
Thank you!!!! And just-had-to-be-different people just kept telling me “You don’t get it do you? That Liger line is off the hook! Or maybe the latest Will Smith blockbuster is more your thing?”. Ermmm… here’s a thought. Maybe it just wasn’t that funny!!! I mean, me and my friends just twitting (he he) come up with funnier stuff. (Shiru sips on some hater-ade)
@Luvvie,
*Napoleon Dynamite – All the hype around the film. When I finally watched it, I MAY have chuckled once. BOOOO!
**nodding head**
@Luvvie,
I certainly expected better from Napoleon Dynamite – that movie is just pure shizz!
LOL I loved Napolean Dynamite.. but then I am corny…when he decided to forego the karate lessons and just buy the pants? LMAO ……
@shay_d_lady, thank you shay! LMAO, “but my lips hurt BAAD”
@overit,
**blink…. blank stare**
I don’t get it.
And I’ve been forced to sit throught that movie more times than I care to count.
@overit,
*blink* *blink* *blink*
@Luvvie,
neva heard of Drake or Asher
@BLUNTBLAZER,
i never heard of asher until yesterday. i think sister t wrote about him
@Luvvie,
“Every 5 mins, a horse (probably in Detroit) loses its tail.”
We’re not going there with my city today.
i’ve been accused of being a hater of….
kobe. ppl seem to think i am just hating on him cuz he’s the “best in the league”. when actuality, i don’t deny the fact that kobe is a damn good baller, one of the best on the court right now. but he’s a b*tch@ss. plain and simple. he tryna dime ppl out on some BS cuz he can’t take the heat of his own mistakes and transgressions. i can’t support that. in any time or space. so therefore i dislike him. and all i see when i see him on the court is a snitch @$$ b*tchass…. it’ll be interesting to see if he can finally get a ring without Shaq. stay tuned…
@Gem-balaya: yes, yes, you get a standing O, that ninja attitude and arrogance surpasses his skills as a baller. Him and his receding hairline needs to sat down.
@JamaicanGirl,
right. i have the right not to like somebody based on traits i find undesirable. i’m not a huge basketball fan so his court skills alone aren’t impressive enough for me to be tuned into the kobe/lake show.
@Gem-balaya, Chile i had to watch the Houston, Lakers game on mute the other night because TNT commentators Kevin and Doug ride his pipe so hard, the ninja can play but he is not the only player in the NBA. I love ball i don’t miss a game, but the game will go on if he injured his back, break a big toe, tear a muscle and wont be able to play for the rest of the playoffs.
@Gem-balaya,
major cosignage e-boo…
Kobe ain’t sh*t w/o Shaq. My Rockets gonna get in dat azz in 7. Wait and see people..wait and see.
@Tx10inch,
We might be waiting for a minute on THAT one.
@Monk, lmao…
@Tx10inch,
ummmm e-boo you know i e-love you and all but errr uhhh after tuesdays game, your rockets need more ppl. preferrably ones that arent allergic to a basketball. mmkay?? *rubs e-boos back*
@Gem-balaya, Yo I salmost spit out my water reading this! LMAO!!
The Rockets need everyone in China if they believe they winnin in 7!
@Tx10inch, yea I was so amazed to see the “Laker Fans” once they got out of the first round on these blogs and on twitter…cant stand front runners..didnt even know some of these ppl were even into sports..oh yea thats right they not into sports they are laker fans..now lets see Jordan in his prime playing a team who loses their top 2 players and yet the series goes to seven? No way.
If P Ewing woulda been out of those playoffs in the 90′s Jordans Bulls woulda smoked the Knicks in four easy but with equal comp Jordan had to fight to win those series-win or not this series says SO MUCH about Kobe…to think he told Artest “you flopped” yet Artest showed him the bloody bit tongue he got courtesy of Kobes elbow. Remember Jordan got his ass kicked by them Bad Boys (Detroit stand up..RIP Mr Daly)
from those playoff series he learned to win you must RUN OVER your opponent not assume he’ll just get out of the way cuz you know its the fourth quarter.
@Gem-balaya,
“he tryna dime ppl out on some BS cuz he can’t take the heat of his own mistakes and transgressions”
This turned me off Kobe something fierce. Shaq had nothing to do with his azz cheating and getting caught out. Weak azz spineless jigga.
@YGB,
I, for one, am happy that he ratted.
If for no other reason than my 2008 Inappropriate Catchphrase of the year: “Kobe, how my azz taste?”
@Gem-balaya,
I second that to the highest degree. I argue everywhere I go about that overrated ninja. Can he Play? Yes. Is he great? NO. RESOUNDING NO. ECHOING NOOOOOOOOoooooo….oooo….ooo…oo…o
Bond. BlkBond.
Other things iRoast:
*Ed Hardy – The ish is UGLY. Nothing that Bret Michaels rocks on a regular should be considered trendy (especially that bandana tail he wears on his head)
*Air Yeezies: They are men stilettos, with those high *ss soles. I know Kanye wanted to get some height by designing some thick shoes but male chanclattas are not the answer. They look like Sketchers.
*Gladiator Sandals – Some are cute but a majority look like they would be GREAT for 400 B.C. Them Air Foot Voyages just look outta place in the city. Ain’t nobody walking no deserts. Let my people go, and let gladiator sandals die a red (sea) death. Say no to Air Christs.
I’m just saying… iRoast because iLove
@Luvvie,
Yea…Ed Hardy was hot like, 3.5 yrs ago, when it was somewhat exclusive because practically no one new about it.
Now I see that mess plastered around Macys! Anything that was exclusive in tiny, trendy boutiques and is now being mass-produced for (mid-level) department stores is no longer not.
@Lili,
I disagree. Ed Hardy was NEVER hot. Ever.
@Luvvie,
“Gladiator Sandals – Some are cute but a majority look like they would be GREAT for 400 B.C. Them Air Foot Voyages just look outta place in the city. Ain’t nobody walking no deserts. Let my people go, and let gladiator sandals die a red (sea) death. Say no to Air Christs”
I just bought a pair earlier this week. I think they are so cute.
@Luvvie,
I agree with this whole list.
@V Renee,
me 2
@Luvvie, We call the Gladiator Sandals, the Air Disciples. Nothin that the 12 disciples were rocking should be worn in 2009. I know trends come back in style but this is getting outlandish
@Luvvie,
Co-sign on Ed Hardy and Gladiator sandals.
Ed Hardy because those shirts look like they’re having seizures. Gladiator sandals because I don’t wanna look like Russell Crowe and this ain’t the biblical days.
@Luvvie,
Ed Hardy was never hot to me. Must be a left coast thing
@ PJ
Your middle name must be f*ck you
Cause every time you make a post
Readers be like, “F*CK YOUUUUU!”
@Lili,
lol I’ll be dat …..i’ll be dat
@Lili,
any reggie noble reference gets kudos from me
@The Champ,
Co-signage.
@The Champ,
I do what I can.
I must agree with “PJ” Tyler Perry and partially on Katt Williams. Tyler Perry movies suck, ain’t funny, and if you get genuine kicks out of them, go jump off a bridge cause Madea aint funny!! Katt Williams last comedy movie thing was such a fail, I started to seriously doubt his credibility.. “this sh*t right here?” Built up the hype but could not deliver on his last series. It was actually tragic watching him.
JORDANS
If you own a pair of those overpriced, ugly, ugly shoes, kill yo’self.
Is hating on UGGS still cool?
@Officer Ricky,
I can agree with the uggs, but not the jo-jo’s…
come on.. you gonna tell me you do not own one pair of MR. MICHAEL (the best that EVER did it) Jordan sneakers @ all.. you are strait trippin
I’m not saying to buy every single pair, but not one pair.. I have my originals from the 90′s and they are still fresh..
Uggs I say ditto.. Jo-Jo’s.. I’m gonna have to give you the wicked side-eye for!
@Liryc,
i’ve never owned or wanted to own a pair of jordans. but i’m not a sneaker fan. the only time i ever thought about buying a pair was in high school becuz all my friends rocked them. but i prefered spending my hard earned money on CUTE girly shoes.
@Gem-balaya,
Does “CUTE” include gladiator sandals?
@Officer Ricky,
ummmm no. not only would i not classify them as cute but i’d never let my feet/ankles be assaulted by them.
@Gem-balaya,
I don’t get the whole “I gotta have the Jordan’s thing”. I must have missed that lesson when I went for my negro certification. People buy Jordan’s , but are sitting on the bus stop. I prefer to ride by in my 09 Altima with my pumas.
Bottom line I would rather have an auto to get me to and from where ever I am going,not planning to leave by the last bus, by my on discretion. Kind of hard to make that late night booty call when you gotta walk a few miles in the J’s. O and if you are fishin’ in the neighborhood you living in your about due for some stalker drama cause they know where you live!!!! lol
@Double J, I didnt know Jordans and Altimas were mutually exclusive….
@Peyso,
lol. Yeah I don’t think that if the bus riders switched to Keds they’d be in Bimmers
@Peyso,
They would at least be that much closer to a hoopty lol
@Peyso,
lol, i was thinking the same thing. i mean, its not like $150 sneakers will stand in the way of a $20,000 whip
@Liryc, Brooklyn born and raised never owned a pair of Jordans…overrated IMO some of them were hot not ALL of em and when everyone got something (esp with no practical value like say timbs which when it rains or snows and is cold they do come in handy but jordans, 2 bills for what?) I dont get it
@Officer Ricky,
Methinks you just offended all of Chicago by calling Jordans ugly.
*whispers* Some are hideous. You are right.
*clears throat* HOW COULD U??? tee hee
@Officer Ricky,
yea i cant support a black man that dresses like a woman to make bread. jus cant do it
@Officer Ricky,
I agree with the Jordans hate. I’ve never owned a pair and never will. I can’t drop that much on a pair of gym shoes…I’ve got shyt to do.
@Monk, exactly 2 bills for something common (when toddlers and pre-schoolers have em they are common) and cant wear when it gets very cold and snows ironically something that occurs very often in Chicago
@Officer Ricky,
**Loads up the Ruger P89**
What did you say about Michael Jordan?! Blasphemy at best. Those kicks were not ugly, everything from Jordan 3-12 were that fire…hater, lol
Bluetooth earpieces – bluetooth abuse runs rampant. If I see that blue light flashing in your ear at a a concert, club, open mic, or any other event where the audio level is so high that I can’t hear the voices in my head telling me to smack that ridiculous device out of ear automatically makes you a d!ck to me. Take that ish out your ear. Argh. Namaste.
I’ll co-sign the Hill Harper and raise you a Terrance Howard. Both of them are too comfortable playing soft characters and they really can’t pick a good script. The difference is that Hill Harper appears to be an intellectual, or is at least well spoken/written. Terrance has a murse, a rep for woman abuse, and a conk.
In light of yesterday’s post. Family Guy. I am completely indifferent to it. Sorry. Ok I’m not sorry.
I can’t take Beyonce when she is wailing on a note. Sometimes she sounds like a cat in heat. I liked when she sang At Last for the POTUS and the First Lady and wishes she would exercise that same restraint all the time.
@Nola Darling,
“Bluetooth earpieces”
I dislike them in general. I decided to violate the laws here in Chicago (no handhelds while driving) rather than get one.
It’s dorkiness personified.
@iloVEGrits,
I cannot take having to clarify whether or not you’re speaking to me or through your bluetooth to someone else.
@Nola Darling,
I know. And it just sometimes seems like folks are talking to themselves, until you see the blue tooth. I’d rather not be frightened in that way.
@iloVEGrits, you gotta love when the call dies cuz the EAR PIECE went dead…wants wrong with just using the wire head set? Doesnt need charging and ppl seem to realize “oh he’s on a phone” but yea with blue tooth it looks weird seeing ppl talking seemingly to them selves until you see the piece
@Nola Darling,
btw, I know others have told you, but I love the handle. The ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ shout out plus the fact that it could sooooo work for a girl from the Big Easy.
@iloVEGrits,
Is this THE “Nola Darling”?? Are you an artist?
@iloVEGrits,
yea i use the speakphone part of my phone dam a earpiece fight the power
@Nola Darling,
where the audio level is so high that I can’t hear the voices in my head telling me to smack that ridiculous device out of ear
lmao
@Nola Darling,
Bluetooth earpieces – bluetooth abuse runs rampant .
I think they make people look slightly slow. It’s something about them that reeks of slow…..not down syndrome slow, but mildly slow.
namaste?
@tnt, google it, or watch an episode of LOST. but “namaste” is an Indian (dot, not feather) salutation.
@Nola Darling,
My bluetooth comes in handy when I’m twisting my hair and talking on the phone. But I don’t wear it around town on some “YEah you see me” crap. I’ve seen people rocking the bluetooth headpieces in the club.I wanted to tackle em.
@Luvvie,
My bluetooth comes in handy when I’m twisting my hair and talking on the phone
by “twisting my hair and talking on the phone” you mean “popping the pepsi can to cece peniston’s vid for “keep on movin”, right?
@The Champ,
No.
@Nola Darling, LMAO Terrence “baby wipes” Howard is a character in that he actively works to create his own reality. There’s no other profession he could have chosen. None. I’ve never seen someone so delusional
@Nola Darling, your use of “murse” and “conk” just made my day! thank you nola darling, thank you.
@Nola Darling,
“Bluetooth earpieces”
YES. And I hate the Bluetooth douches that always have them in their ear at all times. Only people who need them on their ear at all times are folks that get their business done by phone.
All you other shopping mall morons can stop wearing it like it’s an earring.
@Nola Darling,
In light of yesterday’s post. Family Guy. I am completely indifferent to it. Sorry. Ok I’m not sorry.
*gasps*
I ought to put Stewie onto you.
Forgot to add: bachelorette parties.
I am currently coordinating one for someone and don’t mind doing it – she deserves to go out with a bang. But the money and time spent so we can get drunk and play with sex toys and watch a nakked boy pop his business?
Seems not worth it once you see your bank statement.**
**I am in charge of the three most expensive elements: the stripper, the pleasure party lady (her fee) and the bar crawl. sheesh.
@iloVEGrits,
I’m co-coordinating. left that out.
@iloVEGrits,
Out of curiosity, what would you prefer in place of Bachelorette parties?
@Officer Ricky,
A hen party: strong drinks, music, us telling stories, bad pron we can make fun of, lol. Maybe a show, then a club.
Gambling in Vegas. A trip to the Caribbean (not cheap but relaxing).
Something simple, that doesn’t take a lot of work. And that won’t stress me out the week of.
@iloVEGrits,
i’m with you. the few bachelorette parties i have been to have been more hen parties. basically bridal showers on acid. girls letting loose, having fun, celebrating that last bit of “singleness” w/out the strippers, “happy love” aspect, etc.
besides, male strippers just don’t excite me in the least. most of em are gheys any way. my bff already knows not to include that BS.
@Gem-balaya,
“male strippers just don’t excite me in the least. ”
Me either. They are kinda gross.
And everyone knows I’d rather see a drag show for a bachelorette party. lol.
@iloVEGrits
lol yessssss!!! drag shows are extremely entertaining. you can’t go wrong w/ female impersonators.
@Gem-balaya, I like the way you think, give me a hen and redbull and a good drag show any day.
@Gem-balaya, When I get married, I’m gonna demand a bridal shower on acid. **looks at Luvvie** You’ve been warned.
@Gem-balaya,
“besides, male strippers just don’t excite me in the least.”
So do FEMALE strippers excite you? Had to ask…
@Monk,
only when i’m looking in my bedroom mirror
@iloVEGrits,
Those are great alternatives to the same tired ole party bachelorettes have been having the last 10 years.
I might have to steal one of those for the next one of my girlfriends that gets married.
@luvtheshoes,
.
You definitely should! I recently went to a Five-way bachelorette party where we went to a drag show and had a list of “tasks” the brides to be had to complete before the night was out… like kissing a bald man on the head etc, and it made for a lot of fun. We got the club with the drag show to give us discount on drinks all night which was great because were were all wasted and didn’t have to worry about much, because none of the men in there were really interested in “taking us home” anyway
@Officer Ricky, me and my crew recently started doing half days at the spa in lieu of bachelorette parties. We go to a Casino in AC or Mohegan and do it up. Spa in the morning, followed by lunch, shopping, hit a club and brunch on Sunday. Everyone spends their own money and shares the cost of the bride to be and we all walk away pampared and happy.
where are the strip clubs where men strip? everytime i hear about male strippers they are at private parties
@tnt,
I’m not sure about around your area but around here, some of the female strip clubs offer nights where they have guys strip in a separate area.
dirty blond wigs mixed with the dresses from East Hell makes you look a gay metrosexual moose with a wig on that smokes Newports and only drinks Zima out of a shot glass.
Damn man!! are you serious… wow.. I stopped watching that ish a while back
as for twitter.. come on man.. I mean damn.. its something you have to get into.. if you use facebook, then its more convenient.. but if not then I can see the misunderstanding.. but damn!!
@Liryc,
Tyra looked like Glinda the not so good witch in her finale get up.
@iloVEGrits,
I guess I’m going to have to check it out online..
show has totally fell off… Ah oh well..
@iloVEGrits,
I was thinking more like Bride of Dracula. I actually said that last night…that dress was not the business!!
since kobe is the only THING i’ve ever been accused of hating, i’d like to submit another type of list…
things i’ll likely never be accused of “hating”:
~b.scott. no explanation necessary. luvvie as my witness.
~bey. she may wear terrible wigs/weave, have a horrid clothing line (see luvvie’s iRoast comment #2), possess pathetic acting kills, and have a trisomy 21 camel lookin boy for a husband but i.love.her. i think she’s fly, is a great musical entertainer, and she makes records that i have fun listening to (even tho her lyrical content has the sophistication of a chitlin). i wouldn’t wanna be her friend (her convo could put insomniacs to sleep) than but i like adoring her from afar.
~moisture. my hair stays conditioned, my skin lotioned, my lips glossed, and so on and so forth. dry, chapped, dusty and crusty are not friend’s of this body.
~100% cotton underwear. i may stay “moisturized”, but yeast is NOT cute. bread ingredients have no place in my nether regions. synthetic poly blends rarely touches my gem (every now and then i bust out the sexy lacy vicky’s but i’m single so they typically stay in the back of my panty drawer).
~pedicured feet. good luck ever trying to see chipped toe nail polish, jagged toe nails, or any kind of crud on my feet. i promote upkeep of visible parts–hands, feet, hair, skin–at all times. but feet esp should not be allowed to see the light of day if they are janky. it’s just gross. period.
@Gem-balaya,
I am glad you added this
“even tho her lyrical content has the sophistication of a chitlin”. The girl is fly, I cannot lie, but her lyrics are written for the slower set, if you get my drift.
And I thoroughly agree on keeping visible parts and feet up at all times.
@iloVEGrits,
stringing meaningful, sensible words/phrases together is NOT her strong suit. in fact, if her lyrics were a suit, it’d be a Dereon suit cluttered with gawdawfulness. but truth is, bedazzlement is captivating.
@Gem-balaya,
I credit her for not knowing her niche and working within it.
And yeah, bedazzlement is captivating. lol.
@iloVEGrits,
credit her for knowing her niche. lawd be a proofreader tonight.
@iloVEGrits,
the other way was MUCH funnier. it had a whole knew meaning that made me crack up.
@iloVEGrits,
lmao @ for not knowing her niche and working within it
you know you wrong!!
@Gem-balaya, “(even tho her lyrical content has the sophistication of a chitlin). i wouldn’t wanna be her friend (her convo could put insomniacs to sleep)”
DEAD. I cant deal with this right now its 4:15am and i cant sleep.
@Gem-balaya,
Not trisomy 21!
@Gem-balaya,
100% cotton underwear just reminded me of the Fruit of the Loom granny drawers at KMart. iCan’t.
who buys undies in a PACK from anywhere?? that’s ri-damn-diculous. i don’t think i’ve worn a “brief” since i was like in middle school.
@Gem-balaya,
i buy my boxers in packs from JC penny’s top of tha line baby lol
@BLUNTBLAZER,
LMAO!! that line is classic. makes me wanna go home and watch the movie
@Gem-balaya,
lol you caught that huh (high 5)
@Gem-balaya,
I pick up the free Victoria’s Secret briefs (they call em bikini’s but let’s be real) whenever they send me a coupon.
@Me fail english?,
LOL cannot turn down a free panty. but there’s one thing for undies to cover must of your @ss (which i prefer, minus a little cheek hanging out) but it’s an entirely different thing for them to cover your entire rear AND your torso.
panties deserve to stay at hip height.
I am gonna follow Gem’s lead and create a list of things I will never be caught hating on:
- high heels. I love them, wear them constantly. They instantly make any outfit better. They ooze sex and add a strut to your step. I own just over a 100 pairs of shoes and more than 90 are heels.
- dresses. One piece of clothing: makes getting dressed in the a.m. easier. You instantly look feminine and, since most women don’t wear them that often, you stand out from the pack.
- coconut oil. It’s a miracle oil. A teeny bit on the ends of wet hair keeps the ends moist and healthy. Plus, it’s a great body lotion, absorbs easily.
-family. Love ‘em to death. Blood is definitely thicker than water, in my book. And my fam is pretty close.
-instant attraction. meeting a hawt boy for the first time, staying up late talking to him that first night. Nothing beats it.
-home cooked meals. I love to cook and though I do enjoy a tasty restaurant meal, nothing beats the food I whip up in my kitchen. I don’t eat anything premixed and ready in a box or can, so I know what’s in my food.
-good friends. people you click with? nothing better.
-reggae music. it really transports me to another place. And it’s segzy as he!!.
@iloVEGrits,
do you have stock in dr. scholls?? or do you just invest in really comfortable heels?? honestly, how do you stand to be in heels all the time?? i LOVE the way heels jazz up an outfit and make my calves look stunning, but it gets to be painful after a few hours. and i can’t fake the funk. i gotta replace my stilettos with flat sandals.
@Gem-balaya,
You know I don’t have problems. I have a few pair that are annoying cuz they are a wee bit too wide (my foot is crazy narrow). I do use gel foot pads in all of my shoes, though. Guess I’ve been lucky. I don’t have any corns, never had. And I get compliments on my feet all the time.
It’s super rare that my feet start hurting in heels; I walk blocks and blocks in them and ocassionally sprint in ‘em. lol. Oddly enough, flats kill my feet.
@iloVEGrits,
maybe i just need me some gel inserts for all my heels. becuz i love heels, i just hate the hassel. and some flats kill my feet too. i have a ridiculously high arch and most flats don’t support it so it can be uncomfortable to walk.
@Gem-balaya,
“i have a ridiculously high arch and most flats don’t support it so it can be uncomfortable to walk”
same here!
@iloVEGrits,
sprintin in heels dam i think im in luv lol
@iloVEGrits,
- coconut oil. It’s a miracle oil. A teeny bit on the ends of wet hair keeps the ends moist and healthy. Plus, it’s a great body lotion, absorbs easily.
__________________________
agreement.
@charli skipper, coconut oil. It’s a miracle oil
I’m going to have to try this.
@charli skipper, that coconut oil is magic in a jar….
@iloVEGrits, I love my high heels, wear them everywhere. My bff just brought me my first pair of tennis shoes a couple years back. Before that i only had a pair i wore to the gym. I try to wear flats but i also have a high arch, wearing flats hurt worse than wearing heels to me.
@JamaicanGirl,
Those of us with the high arches are not designed for flats.
Reality TV Shows – I’m not into them and feel brain cells dying watching them.
Duke Basketball – I always root for the opposing team. I have a hard time dating guys who are Duke fans as well.
Boston sports fans – They are obnoxious and tend to get on my nerves real quick.
Los Angeles – I’ve been to LA twice and don’t get the hype about the city. The clubs close at 1:30 and traffic is a nightmare. I think it’s one of the most overrated cities.
@Leila, DUKE BASKETBALL IS THE DEVIL. I hate them and I wish they would implode (However, I must commend them for signing the first openly gay division 1 basketball player)
@Peyso, (However, I must commend them for signing the first openly gay division 1 basketball player)
who was that?
@Leila, i’m soooo with you on the hatred of dook bball and boston sports fans. both can kick rocks with no socks!
@Leila,
Clubs close at 1:30a in LA??
*cancaels trip to LA*
I’m not a big clubber like that but I can NOT do a city that sleeps…at least that early
@Leila,
Los Angeles – I’ve been to LA twice and don’t get the hype about the city. The clubs close at 1:30 and traffic is a nightmare. I think it’s one of the most overrated cities
I concur.
@Leila, clubs cant close that early in LA damn in ATL it shut down at three am when I was there in 06
Hmmm my list?
Nas ummm he has way more babbage than goodage plus he is an a$$hole…you got illm]tic and a few joints on stillmatic and a song here or there from the other million albums he put out And he uses a lot of words incorrectly
People who claim to listen only to “real hip hop”. Especially when they follow it up with whatever dude is hot on the EBP list I.E Lupe and can only name dumb it down or kick push
Co sign the aforementioned carols daughter and add the really over priced miss jessies that garnier and pantene hydrating curls or biolage is better and Curls and blended beauty are more economical and are way better
@shay-d-lady,
“miss jessies”
That too is over-hyped. Had my hur lookin ragged-ee.
@shay-d-lady,
“I.E Lupe and can only name dumb it down or kick push”
^LOL…Dumb it down is a fantastic song though…That whole cd gets play.
I have never tried Carol’s Daughter, but I was so tempted when a store opened in a few malls close by. Now y’all are making me not want to try it. lol
Most of the Carol’s Daughter products smell like sadness on a extra hot day to me.
@8th Wonder,
LMAO @ smell like sadness!!!
@8th Wonder,
lmao! I can’t smell them at all and they all feel like watery oil (if that’s possible)
@Me fail english?,
yeeees. at the watery oil!
And that leave in? A Joke.
@8th Wonder,
LOL
@shay-d-lady,
I also think Nas is highly overrated.
@Monk,
i dont like alot of the mainstream Ive been filling my collection buyin old cds that i had but lost due to lettin friends use it that neva give it back.
@BLUNTBLAZER,
You too? I just bought some old stuff off of half.com yesterday…lol
@miss t-lee,
I copped Shyne’s first cd “shyne” last week and I copped UGK’s last cd yestaday this new stuff just dont do it for me.
@shay-d-lady,
Whoa! Hate on Lupe? Why?!
I dont even think of Dumb it Down or Kick Push when I think Lupe. I think of Put You On Game or Intruder Alert, etc…that whole album is hit after hit of wonderfulness
Lupe is one of the best lyricists PERIOD (take any era). I firmly believe that him and Mos Def would make for a GREAT battle/match-up/collaborative duo. Seriously!
@Ms_Slim,
If you think Nas is overrated you dont overstand hip hop
@shay-d-lady,
People who claim to listen only to “real hip hop”.
I co-sign this statement wholeheartedly.
@shay-d-lady, did you hear Nas “Live at the BBG” or Lost Tapes? How about his first album wasnt gimmick laden with all kinds of guest rappers and producers and all those lame skits..
he came in at 17 with no entourage or hype… do you really thing any rapper hot right now will last as long as has?
Did you hear his verse on Verbal Intercourse…if you into real hip hop you’d know what LP that came from…how about his verse in Eye for and Eye or on Murda Muzik’s “Its Mine”.
I dont care he’s an asshole I only know of him as a rapper who he sleeps with, his politics and “celebrity status” to me are pointless…he’s not perfect but he is one of the best rappers ever…I mean did you here Ether or God Son’s Last Real Nigga Alive-or did you only know of Nas from his last two or three albums and his marriage to Kelis? That answer reveals that you either like rap or are into hip hop. I say you like rap but know nothing of the culture.
I also have been accused of hating ‘Kobe wack a$$ Bryant I just don’t like him
Pseudo intellectuals pursuing some obscure a$$ degree in a field no one has ever heard of or gives a f$ck about doesn’t make you smart
Expensive foreign cars especially on middle class budget
Iphones sorry I don’t get it no practical reason what so ever for that big a$$ phone and a touch screen
And yeas I’ve seen it all the apps used it I prefer the blackberry all day erryday
@shay-d-lady, I hate Pseudo intellectuals regardless of their field
@shay-d-lady, iphones are actually very practical, and not that big. instead of carrying around a palm or blackberry AND my ipod, i can have the two devices in one. this is extremely practical for my life, especially when i was traveling all the damn time for work. keeping up with one device is better and more practical than keeping up with two. i’ll admit the touchscreen felt a bit janky at first, but i got used to it after a few days.
@A Plus,
lol@ janky. That always makes me laugh. I don’t have an iPhone but it does seem pretty practical
Also, expensive foreign cars are useless if you don’t do alot of highway driving. That sh1t is THRILLER FIERCE if you’re not scared to race tho. Nothing like going to a desolate drag where you know there are no other cars and opening up a 7-series or S-Class. Actually, the handle on some Infinitis is pretty impressive too. I love racing in other people’s cars…because I have a nasty coke habit.
(j/k)
@Me fail english?,
its all about the muscle cars but the new 4do masaratii’s are killer.
@BLUNTBLAZER,
The auto show this year in my city was butt. Didn’t see these but I’ll keep the peepers peeled
@A Plus, the iphone is not practical..people always try to sell me with the I dont have to carry my ipod and phone around..WTF? I dont carry my ipod around anyway its in the car or at home where I listen to music and since I cant walk around my job with head phones listening to music it just doesnt make sense to me..
@shay-d-lady,
I am with you on the I-Phone. Why do I need to walk around with a mini computer?
@shay-d-lady, it depends if you are into Business, then a Blackberry is a must, but I am a video editor..f- telling someone go to my website-whip out the itouch and SHOW them the video right there and you cant knock the touch screen after all PDA’s were the first to start it with stylus pens well Apple deaded the need for the pen which most ppl with em ALWAYS lose..Apple merged the PDA and laptop with a phone why have screen so small you really cant see much or an object so big when not used it gets in the way? I cant say its not practical it is depending on your needs…now the blackberry honestly if you arent in Business I mean like really taking the work home you dont really need it both phones though are brought by ppl who shouldnt have em
Dream Girls – The movie or the stage show… it is the dryest, lifeless, unimaginative story interpretation ever (kinda like Luvvie’s hair)
J Dilla – Hear me out hip-hop heads, I do love Dilla beats, awesome, but folks are acting like he was the second coming of Christ. Go.Sat.Down.
Vegetarians/Vegans – i don’t get it, maybe works for you, but I don’t get it… I’ll eat my steak instead of an Iron supplement, please & thank you…
@Naturally Alise, especially Vegans/Vegetarians who want to lecture you about the stuff you enjoy… i.e Shrimp’s are bottom feeders and chicken are pets. if you don’t get the he!! from around me with that, if the s*%t so bad then why you eating stuff that taste just like it. i.e Tofurky and veggie crumbles. Why don’t you just eat the real thing then.
@JamaicanGirl,
LOL i am a meat eater who is constantly making ppl aware of where there food comes from and how the animal was likely slaughtered. and organic versus pesticide-ridden produce. it’s funny to see ppl’s reaction. i have one “co-worker” who to the death defends the cruelty of farm animals that get killed for meat. so it makes for good fun convo at lunch.
@Naturally Alise, OMG Im dying laughing at your insult to Luvvie’s hair… ya’ll kill me fo real
@Naturally Alise,
“J Dilla – Hear me out hip-hop heads, I do love Dilla beats, awesome, but folks are acting like he was the second coming of Christ. Go.Sat.Down.”
Dilla is great. But some of his praises are fake. Where were all these people before he died? I’m from Detroit and he doesn’t get love like that here. The majority of people outside the backpackers such as myself never heard of him.
“Vegetarians/Vegans – i don’t get it, maybe works for you, but I don’t get it… I’ll eat my steak instead of an Iron supplement, please & thank you…”
I am a former vegetarian so I feel you. The funny thing is the people telling you about not eating meat and they are skinny-fat or just physically weak.
@Humble_One,
“Dilla is great. But some of his praises are fake. Where were all these people before he died? I’m from Detroit and he doesn’t get love like that here. The majority of people outside the backpackers such as myself never heard of him.”
A lot of people who praise him know very little about his work. It’s sad when something like his music become the “trendy” thing to like. Especially if it’s in the wake of his death.
@Naturally Alise, you aint never lied about J. Dilla. If he was so nice, how come we aint neva heard of him before he died?
@Peyso,
I’d heard of him before. But this is like the Pun syndrome. All of a sudden there’s a million fans that didn’t exist pre-mortem…and they all only know he same one line “Dead in the middle of Little Italy…”
GIMME A BREAK!
@Peyso,
RE-POST
@Me fail english?,
“What I had said was, I heard of Dilla before but I think his legacy suffers from Pun syndrome. After he passes ten million fans come out the woodwork.”
I agree.
@Naturally Alise,
“it is the dryest, lifeless, unimaginative story interpretation ever (kinda like Luvvie’s hair)”
This coming from the Moistureless Marauder herself. If being dry was a superpower, you’d be invincible. If dandruff was an affliction, yours would be terminal. If moisture was Mother Theresa, you’d be the evils of the world. Global Warming is caused by the heat emanating from your super arid scalp.
See? Getting me started on this here morning. I was minding my own bitness and whatchu do? iCan’t with you today.
@Luvvie,
bwhahhahahahaha get her gurl
@Naturally Alise, yea everything has its place..I have my “meatless days” I dont eat steak much but I do, I stop eating pork altogether I have greens and veggies most of the time with my meals and I get my fruit on but I am not cutting out an ENTIRE section of food-whats a joke I have seen FAT vegans-man boobs and all…talk about a placebo!!!!
I definitely agree with you about Twitter and Skinny Jeans on men…..don’t see the need.
The word Swag and every one’s need to have it……
Obsessed…have no desire to see it, even though plenty of people keep telling me how good it is…..
Ciara…. she’s average to me…….
@Erin,
welcome and sh*t
@Erin,
“The word Swag and every one’s need to have it…”
What else can you do when you surf?
(I have no idea what that means)
Goood. Goood. Let the hate flow through this post.
I remember when Kobe hate was real… makes me think of Mike Tyson and Bolivion.
But, iHate:
Apple in general, iPods in particular. Really, what can you do with that $150 thing that I can’t do with my $35 device from the chinese shop?
I am not making many friends in ATL, mainly because I make a face everytime I hear Gucci Mane, Shawty Lo, or countless other local celebs on the radio.
I didn’t know who Drake was, and now my life is worse for Googling. Thanks, PJack!
@Maximillian,
“Apple in general, iPods in particular. Really, what can you do with that $150 thing that I can’t do with my $35 device from the chinese shop?”
LOL!!!!! I love my cheapy MP3 player!
@Maximillian,
I have a cheapy mp3 player that I call my fauxPod that cost about $25 AND an iPod… guess what gets more play and I prefer… uh huh you guessed it, the fauxPod… iPod is a piece of overrated clunky chanclatta-ish electronics. It is wacker than Luvvie’s hair.
@Naturally Alise,
chanclatta-ish
hahhhahahha
@Naturally Alise,
“It is wacker than Luvvie’s hair.”
I see you tryna go IN. Look here, Tumble McWeederson. You must be bored. Why don’t you go comb your hair and give yourself a papercut right quick. “Snap, Crackle & Pop” Face.
@Luvvie,
uh oh… is it Arid Hair Hat battle VII (or whatever number y’all are on now)?
@blackberry molasses,
We roast each other because we are both jealous of the other’s lustrous afros…
@Naturally Alise,
therefore you roast because you covet?? makes perfect sense
keep it going. i need the cackles.
@Naturally Alise, LMAO 2 shots at Luvvie. I think I’ll keep count
@Kindred Smile,
Count deez
@Maximillian, I totally feel you on the ATL tip. I moved here a few months ago from NYC and have yet to figure out who OJ the Juiceman is…
@Bailey, OJ Da Juiceman: makin the trap AYE since 2009.
@Maximillian,
Apple in general, iPods in particular. Really, what can you do with that $150 thing that I can’t do with my $35 device from the chinese shop? .
I don’t own an Apple product at all. I toyed with the idea of getting an iPod and had to ask myself why. My MP3 player has yet to let me down.
@Maximillian,
Apple in general, iPods in particular. Really, what can you do with that $150 thing that I can’t do with my $35 device from the chinese shop?
well, i don’t hate Apple…I’m a Mac. but I refuse to get an Ipod. I love my cheaper Mp3 player w/ FM tuner. It has not let me down in all of these years….
@Maximillian,
I didn’t know who Drake was, and now my life is worse for Googling. Thanks, PJack!
he’s the one who first told me about drake a couple months ago too. maybe p is really a drake a&r in disguise.
@Maximillian, you may hate Apple but I grew up with PC’s and I dont miss right click or all the junk ware and adware that came with the PC’s I owned.
From HP to Gateway to Dell all of em required way too much “work” and lousy cust support-I just got my vid card ($500) swapped at the Apple store for free where do you take your PC for that kind of service?
I brought my G5 two yrs ago I have never had an issue and it doesnt even have a virus software on it with broadband service and I edit hi-def videos on this bad boy. I have a friend who runs a geek squad all of his clients are PC users who want nothing to do with the maintenance of their machines but seem to not realize you brought it cheap and just assumed what you brought would work….well there is a reason PC’s are sold mainly under $1500.
I have never had to download a thing, no drivers or patches-plug n play baby and it never has run slow so I laugh at that “Finally Fast.com” ad
Last I like most low budget artist use a Mac, your fav rapper-he producers beats probably on a Mac-the hottest video director uses a Mac and TONS of low budget filmmakers and big budget ones (No Country For Old Men-it won an Oscar too!) also use Macs…again I didnt buy this machine for aesthetics-in school I saw them perform I knew of their value. I use to feel the same way about PC’s-defended them to the death then had to come home de-fragment my disc, and delete cookies something you never do on a Mac…also the video editing app for PC is AVID it goes for $2500+, Apples’ Final Cut Pro which I own is $1299 and if you buy AVID on a PC you are going to trick it out and when its all done the price for your tricked out PC to edit videos will cost as much as a G5.
I Hate:
-The internet police @ my job – the block is back on da*n them!!
-My boss. Can’t wait till I grow the balls to quit.
-Zane Novels
-Essence anymore. Jeez. I could just skim the site for all the depth u get in there anymore. I get it and 5 minutes later i’m done. I like print pubs… but for that I may have to save a tree and kill my subscription. It pains me!
-High priced a$$ concert tix. It’s sinful what they are charging to see some artists these days. Who wants to pay $50.00 to go see RayJ and Pleasure P? Really?
-NYC… hahahaha just jokes. I hate cuz I love.
Things I like that other’s hate:
-Beyonce. She works. I like her.
-Hood sh*t… eh. There’s something about processed cheese, Koolaid, and a shyt talkin’ a$$ ni99a that makes me warm inside. There are definitely things I can do w/o – the glorified ignorance, the laziness, the victim complex, the horrible eating habits and on and on and on… but some things just make me smile.
@pgh muse,
“Who wants to pay $50.00 to go see RayJ and Pleasure P? Really?”
Is that the 7th circle of Hell? Methinks yes… smh
@pgh muse,
LOL@ hood isht! When I was little and we’d travelled, before we went to the hotel, my pops would always find the hood first. He claimed it was just in case the revolution went down, so we’d know where to run (wtf?!) but it was really cause it made us less homesick.
@Me fail english?,
I think I’m in e-love with your dad. He is hilarious!!
@pgh muse,
Beyonce tickets and Jay-Z tickets are going for astronomical rates right now. They’ll definitely be top celebrity grossers on Forbes again.
@Monk,
Damn, remember when Jay used to throw money off the stage when he was performing? Now he expects you to throw the money on stage.
Fcuk him!
@Monk,
Yawnce is having a hard time selling out those shows though.
@pgh muse, as for the ghetto shit well sorry to say but the ignant shit is a part of the deal-you cant like something about the hood and yet not want the laziness and BS that comes with it-its the laziness and BS’ing that makes it “ghetto” in the first place..like “candy “fronts/grills corny and disrespectful but Mommy slept with Daddy when he use to wear gold fronts so you cant get mad at this company for trying to peddle fronts to your kids
I agreed with you on all of yours.
1. Mo’nique: I am convinced that she has a disdain for women smaller than her.
2. Ciara: I don’t see the hype about her. She’s cute, but yeah okay, so are a lot of other chicks.
3. NAS: I still ain’t got over the Jay Z beef and he’s a lil too “deep” for me… so deep that I am drowning in two feet of water deep.
4. KRS-One: I could never stand him.
5. Public Enemy: They had a few entertaining songs but them ninjas was angry.
@Nicki Sunshine,
co-signing on Mo’nique. It’s like “skinny beeches” are the anti-Christ. Don’t self love by spreading the hate (said as I hate, but am a mass of contradictions I guess).
@Wanjiru, “Don’t self love by spreading the hate (said as I hate, but am a mass of contradictions I guess).”
YESSS!
@Nicki Sunshine,
Monique is an overrated unfunny buffoon, I cringe anytime I see her on a show. She definitely gets a Ho-Sat-Down basket and gift bag from me.
@Naturally Alise, “She definitely gets a Ho-Sat-Down basket and gift bag from me.”
LMAO.. can u put my name on the card? (black folks are always trying to do that, I know. lol)
@Naturally Alise,
Mo’Nique hasn’t one funny bone in her body…unless the meat around it prevents its exposure. Her voice is vomit-inducing.
@Monk,
yup she dont shave her legs either lol not a good look
@Nicki Sunshine,
Until Monique goes to find a bushwhacker for the hair on her legs, she doesn’t even matter to me. Who told her it was a good idea to let her leg hair grow wildly? Jeebs be some Nair for her.
@Luvvie, Okay, I need to google for some pics. I had no clue about this. There is no reason any woman should be growing hair out of any body part besides her head.
@Nicki Sunshine,
And her Love Pocket. Methinks brazilian waxes (where EVERYTHING is taken off) were invented by the devil (aka Jim Jones)
@Luvvie,
brazilian waxes my hurt for a brief moment, but can feel oh so great for a long time thereafter.
@Gem-balaya,
Amen!
@Luvvie, LMAO.. Love pocket??? I must use this. I’ve heard about that brazilian. lol. ain’t been brave enough to go there yet.
@Nicki Sunshine,
Most places won’t take you to Brazil if you tell them you’re “untouched”. They’ll just give you a landing strip or regular ol’ bikini at first.
I highly reccomend going south of the equator tho.
@Nicki Sunshine,
Kris? But he’s number one!
Sorry I lied, he’s number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5! Haha, I can’t stand his ignorant, arrogant arse. Arbiter of real hip hop, he is not. Boulder snortin’ ass ninja
@Me fail english?, LMAO!!!!! “Boulder snortin’ ass ninja” Perfect insult for him.
@Me fail english?,
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That nose…damn! He’s such an oxygen thief!
@Nicki Sunshine,
LOL @ Ninjas was angrty! DAMN!!
@Nicki Sunshine, as for Nas I’ll jsut say you are late to the party he has been around since 93…so it doesnt matter most of yall dont get him I know for a fact NONE of todays rappers will have a record out in 2025…you can write that down…and I am from Brooklyn he KILLED Jigga in Ether know that
Hate on Drake all you want…he’ll still have a fan in me…lmao
Things I’ve been accused to hatin’ on
Kobe’s hoe arse
‘Yawnce (beyonce)
John Legend (try as I might, I don’t get this kat)
Musiq Soulchild (eh, he’s alright…)
Mary J. Blige (we all know that girl can’t sing live)
The Dallas Cowboys (this will never end…the hate runs deep!)
The fact that I don’t find Morris Chestnut/or Terrence Howard attractive (I don’t even argue this point anymore…lol)
That’s all I got for now…
@miss t-lee,
“John Legend (try as I might, I don’t get this kat)”
Oh no no no, thats blasphemy. His cd’s are that ish.
@mssmtaylor,
Nope.
@miss t-lee,
“Yawnce” made me laugh. I must call her that from now on. Thank you. And I like Johnny boy Legend (even though he needs to stop stealing his nephew’s leather vests. Just schmedium).
@Luvvie,
Yep…just make sure you cite ya girl…
or I’m coming through with a throat punch.
*smooches*
@miss t-lee, Morris Chestnutt makes me angry. Not chexytime angry either, but full of rage. He’s a pretty coon with ridiculous chest hair
@Kindred Smile,
“a pretty coon with ridiculous chest hair”
this, btw, is exactly how i’d describe gem of the ocean if someone asked.
*DEAD*
@The Champ,
I literally lol’d. Don’t tell nobody!
@The Champ,
I know you didn’t just go IN on Gemmie. Part of me wants to chastise you… part of me cackles incessantly. Guess which part will win??
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
(sorry Gemmie)
@The Champ,
*Guffaws* iHate that iCackled that loudly
@The Champ,
awwww Champie you’re so sweet. it’s a wonder you’re still unmarried at your age.
@Gem-balaya,
marry deez
@Kindred Smile,
This is a great insult.
@miss t-lee,
add Keyshia Cole to this list and I’ll fully cosign. She was GAWDAWFUL at the ’07 NFL opening game star spangled banner
@miss t-lee,
“Mary J. Blige (we all know that girl can’t sing live)
Glad to see I’m not alone. She sounds like lamb being slaughtered when she sings live!
@YGB, aye aye aye mary j is tha bom or used ta be keshia is my gurl even tho i dont have any of her cd’s mor do i know any of her songs but she is from tha bay and has tig o bitties
@YGB,
I have never gotten the Mary J love either… Just meh.
ooohhh my turn, my turn.
i am a hater and i am proud of my hate of….
–reality t.v., especially the VH1, MTV, BET shows.
–Kobe
–co-sign the Carol’s Daughter hate. i do like some of the oils, but most i can make myself for cheaper
–PC. that’s right, i’m a Mac, i cost over $1000 and i am superior to PC in every way imaginable. PCs are garbage. and their commercials aren’t nearly as good as the Mac commercials…probably b/c they know their product sucks….
–Kobe
–Beyonce. i know people love her, and i respect her hustle, but she can’t act, and when i want to here good r&b/soul, she is not even on my list.
–weave/wig wearers and weave wearers who talk trash about natural hair
–women with thin or d@mn near bald relaxed heads who talk shyt about natural hair. ( you think that looks better…i can see your scalp fool…what happened to you edges…(smh@ macy’s cashier)).
@N.I.A. naturally….,
OH MAH GAH!!! if one more woman with hair so broken off by a relaxer hates on my natural healthy hair im gonna throat punch her. i even had to listen to a ghey down talk a young girl with gorgeous thick lovely natural hair talkin some ish bout she need a relaxer and then some braids does not compute.
me: why?
him: cuz she just do
me: so you mean to tell me that the only way this little girl can have her hair “done” properly is for it to be straightened somehow?
he couldn’t figure it out that she could have natural hair and still be beautiful and my soul died
@tnt,
“if one more woman with hair so broken off by a relaxer hates on my natural healthy hair
im gonna throat punch her.”
I think you should.
*sniggling*
@miss t-lee,
you know what don’t encourage me because it will SO happen
@tnt,
I feel you on this, but the opposite way. I have a full head of relaxed and healthy hair and I have two girlfriends that always got smthg to say. Now their hair wasn’t cooperating under the relaxed plan so I can see why they switched up the game plan. But my ish is doing lovely, so why should I change it up?
smh@ one of em going right back to relaxed once she got a man.
@Me fail english?, why go back after she got the man? he11, she got him without it, which is one of the things you’re not supposed to be able to do with natural hair…get a man.
@N.I.A. naturally….,
She actually got more insecure after dude. Crazy dieting, chemically treated the ‘do. I think since he was dominican, she figured he wanted silkier hair??? Just my theory
@Me fail english?,
dang…
give her a hug for me….
@Me fail english?,
Po’ thang – she needs some salvation. Self-hate much?
@Me fail english?,
ive never been THAT guy ya know? im a vegetarian and i have natural hair i feel strongly about both however you won’t ever catch me telling ppl “you shouldnt eat meat/relax your hair” that just aint my steez. NOW if you come up on me and be like t i loves your hair what do you do to it? what products you use? or im thinking bout going natural (not eating meat) any suggestions? ima talk ya ear off.
im just sayin (a la riley from boondocks)
@Me fail english?,
“I feel you on this, but the opposite way. I have a full head of relaxed and healthy hair and I have two girlfriends that always got smthg to say. ”
That is equally as bad as relaxed sistas talking down to natural girls. Imma be real: a lot of women with natural hair get this I am more evolved/better than/love myself more than you mentality and project that ish onto sistas with relaxers.
A woman can have relaxers and have healthy hair. And not all natural hair is healthy and vibrant and lush. I’ve seen some dry, shedding fros. That’s. truth.
I wear my hair natural, have since I was 17. But I bust out a flat iron every quarter cuz straight hair is pretty. So are my curls. And I like variety. Some natural die hards would have me tarred and feathered for that. It’s hair: to each his own.
@iloV.E.G.rits,
I wear my hair natural, have since I was 17. But I bust out a flat iron every quarter cuz straight hair is pretty. So are my curls. And I like variety. Some natural die hards would have me tarred and feathered for that. It’s hair: to each his own.
i’m soooo with you on this. when i was younger my hair dresser suggested i relax my hair becuz it was a thick unruly mane that didn’t easily succumb to heat and neither i nor my mother had the patience to be bothered with it. but now that i’m grown and can appreciate taking the time to care for my hair, i am “natural” — meaning i don’t use chemicals to straighten it. but please believe i have a Chi flat iron that lays this mane to the side when i so choose.
i love my hair and don’t spend any time worrying about the protein that grows outta other ppl’s head’s follicles.
@Gem-balaya,
when i was younger my hair dresser suggested i relax my hair becuz it was a thick unruly mane that didn’t easily succumb to heat and neither i nor my mother had the patience to be bothered with it.
the same thing happened to my cousin. except her grandmother (my aunt) was her hairdresser, and both her and her mother put it in my cousin’s head that she “needed” a relaxer…6 years later her once naturally long and thick hair, now barely touches her shoulders and it looks all pitiful and dry and shyt…a crime against humanity….
thank HEAVENS my hair is still luxurious and gorgeous as ever. i don’t even want to imagine how long my hair would be if i hadn’t kept cutting to get the grown-up sexy bob. sometimes i miss my long hair. but days like today (lazy rainy days), i’m soooo glad it’s short!
@tnt,
LOL @throat punch
SMH @ that d@mn gay fool…self-hate starts early….
@tnt,
all i could do was look at that lady in Macy’s and try not to laugh at her slicked back, relaxed 3 inches of hair….
@N.I.A. naturally….,
OMG!! how could I forget….
I hate all things Michigan…specifically the U of Michigan and all sports teams and fans of these sports teams. I blame the failing auto industry on the fact that they are based in the state of Michigan and that they probably employ a lot of UofM alums….
@N.I.A. naturally….,
WOW!! What did we do to you?
@Humble_One,
This is mean, but funny as shyt.
@Humble_One,
LOL!! ok, so i don’t hate everything about Michigan…i know a few good people from Detroit and Ann Arbor. I just strongly dislike UM and it’s affiliates….
@N.I.A. naturally….,
I’m from Detroit and live in Ann Arbor currently and I STRONGLY dislike your comment lol. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but damn! Seems like somebody must have really pissed you off in Michigan.
@N.I.A. naturally….,
N.I.A. that was a most excellent pitch for Macs. I may have spent over a thou for mine, but I haven’t had ONE virus yet and have had it for almost 2 years. I woulda BEEN got a virus had I had a P.C. And P.C. needs to sit down with its “retalliation” against MAC. This ain’t even a fair fight.
I also hate folks who hate Macs just because they’re going against the grain of what’s cool, which makes them think their cool for not jumping on some alleged “bandwagon”.
I love everyone, though.
@N.I.A. naturally….,
all this kobe hate going around makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
@The Champ,
i don’t like to call it hate. i like to think of it as disdain and disgust.
@N.I.A. naturally…., aint it funny before the “I’m a Mac…and I’m a PC” ads I never even knew PCs were advertised and you cant tell they are feelin it cuz they arent advertising anything a PC can do no its just cheaper….yea but what can it do and what am I NOT getting since its cheaper…you PC users figure that out while de-fragmenting and upgrading a virus app (again) and dont forget to delete them cookies
What I hate
1) Big @ss rims on cars. I’ll give you 20′s or 22′s. At a certain point it looks tacky. Seriously 28″ rims on midsize car?
2) Women liking Common. Where were all these die-hard female Common fans back in 92-97?
3) Simps or any dude that overly caters to women. There are other ways to get laid than turning your b**ls in for a piece of @ss.
4) the grown and sexy movement. I’m tired of seeing cats in tight sweaters and bad fitting cheap suits.
5) People falling over a well-spoken clean cut fool. I am so tired of dudes from church or so-called professional blacks behaving like their so enlightened and people believing them.
6) People that believe everyone with money and management positions in Corporate America are just hard workers. Do people get paid and promoted by hard work and perseverance? Yes. But i’ve seen more people get promoted and raises by being fake, kissing @ss, back-stabbing, and throwing people under the bus
@Humble_One,
2) Women liking Common. Where were all these die-hard female Common fans back in 92-97?
well, i was 10 in ’92, and my parents regulated my entertainment. so…you’ll just have to hate. lol!
@N.I.A. naturally….,
I agree with you, N.I.A. I mean I was 7 in ’92. What I know about his grown-man fineness then? I just knew he was nice on the mic. Hate on, dammit! LOL
@Humble_One,
4) the grown and sexy movement. I’m tired of seeing cats in tight sweaters and bad fitting cheap suits.
THAT’s what that was/is??
@Humble_One,
“6) People that believe everyone with money and management positions in Corporate America are just hard workers. Do people get paid and promoted by hard work and perseverance? Yes. But i’ve seen more people get promoted and raises by being fake, kissing @ss, back-stabbing, and throwing people under the bus”
TELL IT!!!!
This is so dangerous, because the people who have a harder time accomplishing smthg get discouraged and intimidated by people they are FAR more capable than. Then there’s mostly ass clowns at the top and they mostly pull up other ass clowns!
@Humble_One, 2) Women liking Common. Where were all these die-hard female Common fans back in 92-97?
YES!! he came to my school back in 2005 and people, especially females were going crazy. most of them thought BE was his first CD and couldn’t name any of his other albums if they’re lives depended on it. iHATE that ish!
4) the grown and sexy movement.
AMEN. i got so sick of seeing this phrase on flyers and hearing it on a radio. if a party is themed “grown and sexy”, i ain’t going. cuz it’s gonna (mostly) be filled with lames that are neither grown nor sexy
@Humble_One,
I agree with you wholeheartedly on 4 5 and especially 6. My boss tried to get me to throw someone under the bus just yesterday, I had to stand up and let him know that was not my style. Corporate America sucks, but it pays the bills.
@Humble_One,
2) Women liking Common. Where were all these die-hard female Common fans back in 92-97?
Getting out of puberty and still watching Disney???
@Humble_One,
Get out of my brain! We are in harmony on all points:
1: Big rims – these people yearn for their big wheels from being 5 yrs old; extended childhood
2. Women liking common: that’s because he’s changed his style up to some trendy bohemian type. He should have had the career Kanye is having. He was the first ‘middle class’ rapper, and Resurrection is one of the greatest rap albums ever.
3. Simpin’ has taken over; ironically the simps aren’t committing to these women, only giving them a false sense of reality and creating alot of old maids and future cat ladies in the process.
4. Ugh. The cheap suits are killing me. Steve Harvey suits do NOT signify sophistication. I hate this movement. I’m tired of sanitation workers in lame 3 pieces proclaiming to the world how fly they are.
5. You are preaching the choir on this on. I have started on a blog about this. There seems to be unnecessary infatuation with a Black man who can speak, has a haircut, and wears a suit. Are the standards THAT low? These negros are the WORST. Here it is that I hate wearing a suit/slacks, and these negros dress up to shop at the grocery store (smh)
6. Exactly. You only forgot sleeping/ sucking off people (literally) and ‘pigmentation’.
Bond. BlkBond.
@Humble_One, thank you Humble
In fact where all of these “conscious women” at before we all got out of our mid twenties? Yea they all claim to want “good rap” and NONE OF THEM ever heard of THE ROOTS, or I Used to Love her and what the point of that track is about-those women (lots of men too) are rap fans not hip hop heads if OC’s “Times Up” came on in a club they’d be stuck while me and you would be like “yoooo- I was in 12th grade when I heard this track..it was my shit” but yea now these women to want to talk as if they have been following hip hop since Rappin Dukes “Da Hard”
Drake – I honestly don’t understand the hype behind this cat. Sure he can rap. Whoopty damn do. Sure he can sing. Whoopy damn do. He is about as interesting to me as Soulja Boy is deep. Read: not very. Plus, his entire rap style is Kanye’s…except, Kanye is WAY more entertaining than he is. The funny thing about Drake is that it seems like the whole world fell in love with him at the same time. In one two week span, I got no less than 20 emails, IMs, texts, and phone calls on some, “have you heard of Drake?” Yes, bitch, I have. And no I’m not feeling him. I’d rather go watch a puma screw an oddly named IKEA appliance than listen to So Far Gone again.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! I heart Drake!!!! That’s my story and I’m stickin to it!!!
)
Hi Hater! LOL!!
@This Just In,
why do you heart drake and sh*t?
@This Just In,
I googled dude from Degrassi… my IQ went down 5 points because of it. I’m offcially going to have to re-learn how to perform logistic regression. Thanks.
@This Just In,
I’m with you. I understand Panama’s point of view, but Drake is a breath of fresh air to the hip hop game. This is why I like him. And he isn’t afraid to do him…it’s not about mainstream, it’s about his stream. His mixtape was a nice mix of a lot of stuff I probably never would have listened to if it didn’t have good lyrical content.
@Ashley Neicole,
Drakes Mixtape Catalog >most rappers Studio catalog. Some ppl say he sounds like Ye and Wayen, just liek Hov sounds liek Kane, Nas sounds like Rakim, Wayne raps like Jay, etc etc.
Dude is versatile, lyrical acumen on a hundred zillion, and hes original. Do I think his hype is getting ridiculous? Yes. Take a look at any of his performances where chicks in the stands recite every word of his MIXTAPE shyt!!
You dont see Wale gettin that, no shots!
@streetz, uhh he’s got songs with Try songs and Lil Wayne that means he is mainstream-once you are on the Hot 97′s your are mainstream the last Roots album barely got raido ply up here in NYC where they are revered The Roots are still underground. Drake is cool but he is not ground breaking at all. No one has flipped it recently better than Dre 3000 look at his career form Southernpalyisticcaddillacmuzick to Love Below also a dude aint “nice” just cuz he doest talk gangsta sh*t and pours his heart out over a chick he wasnt marryin (on Love below Dre question the emotions over being in love vs wanting to have mindless sex, not this drivel over being dumped..grow a pair pal!!!)
Besides the best alt rap was Native Tounges, Tribe Called Quest-De La Soul movement, Drake is in their mold but by far those acts FIRST LP’s were bangers not barley heard of mix tapes
@temps,
You must not know his catalogue. Dude has done tracks with Black Thought, Phonte from LB,along with underground acts. Once he signed with Young Money, that’s when it became ‘cool” to know about him and like him. Check out Comeback Season. Dude attacks mixtape like rappers should attack albums.
Barely heard of mixtapes? Thats hate cmon now. U def need more people, preferably those who listen to music instead of skimming through it. So Far Gone cant be barely heard if everyone who sells out his shows recite EVERY line. Best I ever had is off that mixtape, and since he hit the radio, that must mean ppl heard it right?
Drake had a buzz acting before all of this too, which helped develop his following. hes the evolution of an artist. He sings better than 50% of these so-called rn b dudes and his actual lyrical content is hot. He interlopes many talents into one cohesive project, so to say hes not ground breaking isnt accurate at all.
What you said about De La ATCQ etc was on point. I guarantee after dude drops is first LP the hype will be warranted.
as a fellow NYCer, im shocked that you deny dudes mixtape buzz and question that. Hit newmusiccartel.com and check nahright, and some other hip hop blogs. Dude wasnt even considered one of the “new stars about to blow up” by XXL and hes surpassed all those dudes.. once again off his THIRD mixtape.
Proof is proof
a friend of mine raised a very interesting query awhile ago. arent people who hate haters technically haters themselves? are we not all haters? what would happen if we decided to love all the haters for the day? is that comparable to dividing by zero? would a black hole form beneath our feets? im thinking probably.
@Brokey McPoverty,
That’s some ol’ Quantum Haitng… I think a hate paradox is what triggered the Big Bang.
@Naturally Alise, i bet it’s what kept sam on quantum leap leaping for so many years too. just when he thinks he’s leapt for the last time, somebody calls rihanna a turtle faced, football field foreheaded heffa and, ‘oh, boy!’
@Brokey McPoverty,
I think a hate wormhole delivered Lil’ Wayne to this dimension. He did say he was a martian… coincidence??? ….no sucha thing…
@Brokey McPoverty, You’re obviously a hater b/c you made me read that and now my head hurts
@Peyso,
hehehehe! LOL
@Brokey McPoverty,
This should be someone’s graduate school study. It is of utmost importance. And then, they’d get a ph.D (a Doctorate in Professional Hating). I’d apply for that. I wonder what the fellowships would entail. Would I just go to random places and roast the people to ashes? I wonder… *strokes chin*
@Luvvie, perfect assignment: stand by the mirrors in ladies’ dressing rooms and tell everyone how fat they look in their clothes.
i bet the graduation for such a program would look very much like chappelle’s player hater’s ball. nobody would shake the dean’s hand when he gave them their diplomas. everybody would chant ‘hate hate hate hate’ after all the speakers spoke, about how great they are and how everybody else sucks, no doubt.
i think im getting a little too excited about this.
@Brokey McPoverty,
did i welcome you yet?
@The Champ,
no, Inappropriate von Rudepants, you did not!
@Brokey McPoverty,
I like you. That is all.
@blackberry molasses,

LMAO. True to your name
@Brokey McPoverty,
welcome and sh*t
@The Champ,
lol thanks. im gonna have to ask that you try and contain your excitement when talking to me from here out. u a little too extra right now!
umn, Keri Hilson,
She cute but.. Just don’t quite get why everyone is on her nuts like she’s the second coming of the messiah…she looks attainable and sings okay….maybe that’s the allure… for the record, i dont hate her, in fact I’m pretty ambivalent to her, I just hate ON her in my mind…
@Happy Meal,
i think thats a subject in itself, the idea and allure of “attainable” attractiveness.
@Happy Meal,
Ms. Hilton could get the business in hour long intervals.
*Clears throat*.. . Ahem. My name is Shiru and I’m a hater. Things curmudgeonly me hates on
- my roommates in Boston who when doing it used to wail and scream loud enough to make my sound-activated Casper the Ghost (two rooms down) start shaking and laughing. C’mon!!! Secks is great and all that, but that soundtrack is just too much!
-Perky co-workers who always find the silver lining in every boss induced cloud.
-Perfect couples who in perfect unison, gurgle with perfect tinkles of laughter to mental jokes that only they share, like bubbly sparkling brooks, in a green meadow in a peaceful vale over yonder, and in a continuous loop of PDAs constantly remind us every 4.5 seconds of how, well perfectly suited they are. I will never wish ill luck on anyone, but if! if! Well, then, schadenfreude here I come.
-Alicia Keys
- Posh Spice
-Soccer (I HATE, hate that stupid game)
Things I should hate, but don’t
- Romance novels (bare chested Fabio on cover and all)
-Beyonce. I love, love her!
-Kimora Lee Simmons- how fabulous and over the top is this woman?!
@Wanjiru,
I don’t get Alicia Keys either. None of her songs are that good and neither is her voice. And I used to HATE her style/persona of the earthy, round-the-way girl. At least I think that’s what she was going for.
Which also brings to mind Mary J. Blige. She hasn’t been anything special in over a decade, but she’s more famous than ever. Am I missing smthg?
@Wanjiru,
Posh Spice looks like a Bratz Doll. Menolike her AT ALL.
And LMAO @ the perfect couples. They do make me wanna regurgitate my breakfast
@Wanjiru, LMAO @ the perfect couple. And +3 pts for the use of curmudgeonly
@Wanjiru,
“-Soccer (I HATE, hate that stupid game)”
This sorta broke my heart…
@Wanjiru,
“-Kimora Lee Simmons- how fabulous and over the top is this woman?!”
She’s an uncouth heffa! New money at its almost worst!
@Wanjiru,
Soccer (I HATE, hate that stupid game)
*gasps*
Things I don’t get: most comedies these days. The whole everyone is stupid and falls down is not comedy to me. Sure I love Laurel & Hardy, Abbott & Costello and the Three Stooges but the difference is at least on out of the group has some sense which balances the goofy one and makes it not annoying.
Mark Wahlberg-I’ve heard women say he’s hot but I don’t see it at all. His face is not cute but at least during the Funky Bunch days he had abs.
The “hotness” of celebrities-most look like your average person without make-up.
Weaves-it hardly ever looks real and why do so many women especially famous ones wear them a) so long and b) so cheap looking. It’s ok to have short hair. When in the 1950′s wore short hair and they were beautiful.
Most music today on the radio-same old songs, bad singers and bad songs. I can take bad singing (ex Bob Dylan) I can’t take both.
I agree about the skinny jeans. Is it too difficult for men to buy pants that are just one size too big? Do they either have to fall off and show drawz or be tight and show everything under the drawz. I like the pants men wore in the 70′s (I wasn’t born then BTW, lol) or the 80′s (was born then and men had cooler pants). Sure they were tight but manly tight not ballerina tight.
Also agree with you Panama about Twitter. Why do people want to let people into their lives so much. They even have amateurs “doing the do” on the internet. I don’t want to see ugly, regular people in their birthday suits. It’s just like the cliche of the nude beach whoever needs to wear clothes at all times surely is the first to take them off.
@pinksghetti,
I concur on the comedies. How many times can Will Ferrel make the same homoerotic joke? How many times someone be hit in the face with a wrench?
@Me fail english?,
“How many times someone be hit in the face with a wrench?”
Not enough. I believe the world would be a better place if some people got hit in the face w/ a wrench and the thrower didn’t go to jail. (See: Jim Jones, Soulja Boy, Lindsay Lohan…)
@pinksghetti,
I agree about the skinny jeans. Is it too difficult for men to buy pants that are just one size too big?
has there been a time in the last 20 years where young people bought clothes that actually fit, lol? seriously though, every fad seems to revolve around too big or too small. we need to spearhead a “just right” era
And it goes a lil something like this…
I hate
Soulja boy tell ‘em and Plies! If I hear Turn my swag on or “This is ya lil homie Plies” one more time, I’ll be tempted to stab my ears with a pencil…
I hate 24. There is no way Jack Bauer can do all of these things in a day. This dude single handedly performs open heart surgery, dismantles an atomic bomb, saves the world from evil doers and makes it home in time to cook a 5 course meal and play piano…i no get it but folks all over the world heart him
ultimate fighting…
I also have disdain for Tyler Perry movies, tv shows, radio interviews, facebook pages, ANYTHING associated with him. All his stuff sucks. Its not entertaining and I believe he has unresolved issues with women that he needs to work out…
gabrielle union…she plays the same character in every single movie she makes…yes shes pretty but shes also boring.
will someone please tell me whats so great about american idol or dancing with the stars or for the love of ray j or any other dumb arse reality tv show?? If you want reality, try living outside of the television…
@CoCoPuffs, I also have disdain for Tyler Perry movies, tv shows, radio interviews, facebook pages, ANYTHING associated with him. All his stuff sucks. Its not entertaining and I believe he has unresolved issues with women that he needs to work out…
have you seen the previews for that new show “the browns”?? bump waterboarding, making someone watch an episode of that hot garbages is the epitome of torture!! for a while, i thought maybe it was just something wrong with me, some reason why i didn’t like tyler perry, so i tried watching a movie and an episode of house of payne. it made my brain hurt.
LOL @ he and his unresolved issues with women. so true….so true.
@CoCoPuffs,
I felt like that about TP for a minute but I thoroughly enjoyed “Why Did I Get Married?” and “The Family That Preys”. Although those two movies will never wash away the buffoonery of his previous efforts or his sitcoms, I’ll give him props for those.
Drake…a.k.a. Aubrey Graham a.k.a Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi….
Let’s take it back…wayyyyyy back. circa 2001. I remember young “drake” on the cast of degrassi as the token black male, who was everyone’s friend, who in 2006 ended up in a wheelchair because he was shot by the crazy kid at school. (Don’t sleep on Degrassi this ish is real!) And AS soon as he leaves the show (2008) He comes out as “Drake”…hard as ever.
Drake, although I love the track that you made with Little Brother and Dwele, this ish you have here is just another version on lil wayne.
Yea, I said it!!
@olivya23,
although i do think the drake hype is way too overblown, i have to admit that i dont dislike “youre the (f*ckin) best”
@The Champ,
You the fcuking best is my track.
Drake’s cool… I’m in Toronto and so I appreciate him because Canadian hip hop is usually ridiculously wack so its nice when they have a local artist they can play in the club without me cringing.
Stuff that ppl don’t understand why I don’t like it
-Will Smith: He’s not cute, he can’t act, his raps are saccharine. What is there to like?
-Tyler Perry movies: How about us black folks start holding each other to a higher standard. These movies look like they were done by a film school reject…who’s since taken up plumbing
-KFC/Popeye’s/Bojangle’s chicken: Stop frontin’ black folks. You know you’ve had chicken from ten different church ladies that was way better than this
-Private Sector Efficiency and all the Stossel-esque automatons that swear by it: See Humble_One’s response above. Also see TET, circa right now
-Ron Mexico’s “skit” blogs: this is some of the most unfunny isht I’ve seen on xxlmag and it’s not even a comedy site
-R. Kelly: Teenage love aside, that music is too ignant, even for me.
-”Juno”- This may classify as hating as I cut it off 15 minutes in to go wash the vomit off my soul. And that’s not to say I didn’t like it. I just thought it sucked mammoth, sweaty balls.
-The new South Park episodes: nothing worse than trying to like smthg and coming up short
-Most Boondock episodes: I find Riley(is that the lil gangsta one?) even more irritating than Stewie. It doesn’t help that I feel like the writers hit me upside the head with a sledgehammer in driving home their points (see Tyler Perry, “Crash” and a whole buncha other isht that insults the audience’s intellect)
@Me fail english?, Will Smith, though? For reals? LOL I mean not even in Seven Pounds? *shocked*
I hate a LOT of things. It’d take me ALL DAY to list them all, lol
@Ms_Slim,
I hated 7 pounds! LOL
@Ms. T,
Thank you!!!
2hrs of my life I couldn’t pay to get back..
@Tx10inch,
*looks at e-boo with sadness and confusion* it’s like i don’t even know you anymore!!
@Me fail english?,
you no likey The Boondocks or Stewie Griffin? What do you keep in place of your funny bone? Toasters? Crochet afghans? Spam? Let a sista know…
@blackberry molasses,
bwahahahahahaha OMG u just made me cackle. BBMo, make your way to the Corner. You know the way
@Luvvie,
there betta be an abundant supply of jolof when I get there
**chucks decues and pimp walks into the corner**
@Me fail english?,
I agree with you on Will Smith, I thought it was just me. I think I am the only person who has never seen MIB or Independence Day!
My grandmother’s chicken (also known as the lady at the church) was the best. I refused to eat any fast food fried chicken, but moving away from home made me adapt. I still can not eat KFC but I will eat Popeye’s chicken. When I go visit my hometown I get my grandmother to fix it for me.
But I am still a fan of Kels music and Riley is pretty funny! heehee!
@Me fail english?,
-Most Boondock episodes:
I never took to the TV show… I own all the comic books, but the TV show is too overdone for me… It kinda lost its satire and subtle wit.
@Me fail english?,
Not Juno, lol…one of my friends put me on, that ish is classic. Ellen Page is next
I agree wholeheartedly with 99% of what everybody is saying…Don’t hate on Kobe or my Dallas Cowboys and Jordans( how can you hate on Jordans?)
Who’s better Lil Wayne or Jay-Z? If you said the kat who kissed a grown man not his father on the mouth and now makes remixes worse than the original song I hate you and go play in 5 o”clock traffic! “Get your cd’s out let’s go song for song I’m the illest ninja doin’ it till you prove wrong Do you believe? Its Hova the God” Jay-Z baby!
@GainesvilleGreen,
its like i dont even know you anymore *tear
hahahahahaha
@GainesvilleGreen,
I currently have my toys and am getting ready to go play in 5 o’clock traffic!
I agree with you on the remix part but Jay-Z bores me.
Definitely feel you on the Twitter tip…..I just dont get it. I signed on like 2 months ago….looked around for 10 minutes…and signed back out. Havent signed on since, smh, lol
Drake is just talented. Stop hating
Don’t dig skinny jeans on men either…but there are some slim fits that look soooo fly on y’all. IJS…just like for women, not every man can rock them and still look hetero, lol. It’s like a special skill-set of sorts almost….
And my ‘hate’…..
I aint a hater though….I just can’t get with those damn shoulder-padded vests/shirts that have come back into style.
Like…why? Are we in the Nutcracker? Ugh.
When I hear the word hate, the first person that comes to my mind is my (one-sided) arch nemesis: Clifton Powell. I hate him so much. I hate his mustache. I hate all 9,542 of his movies. I hate his essence. I hate his shoes.
There’s no one in real life or the media that even comes close. No one.
@Kindred Smile,
LMAO!!! I’m mad you hate his shoes. But yeah, I’m well aware of your hate of Clifton Powell. The man is in EVERYTHING. He was prolly an extra in “Roots”.
@Kindred Smile,
iCackled… you hate dude’s shoes, *DEAD*
I hate the following:
-Lil Wayne (please please PLEASE go away, sheesh!!!!!)
-Soldja Boy
-I hate a LOT of today’s music for that matter
-i DIG Drake and will be going to his concert tomorrow night; hmmph!
-I hate Apple, Inc. The iPhone is not that hot and the MacBook costs more than what it’s worth. All those updates needed and money to shell out on them ANND the fact that it isnt compatible with other pcs is hella annoying. Apple is just money-hungry to me and its like no one sees through it. (and by money hungry, i mean totally unreasonable and unwarranted, YET they’ve got a solid marketing team which makes consumers THINK you “need” their product over another’s. Booo!!!!)
**I’ll be back with more**
Okay, yesterday I said I hate when people call you a hater for every single thing you disagree with. It’s like the default follow-up to a disagreement. So, that’s one thing I hate. Folks who overuse the term.
Others:
Diddy aka Diddles: He’s NOT all that. He’s NOT funny. His undeserved arrogance is NOT endearing. And b*tchassedness is just another overused term that he himself is often guilty of. And he tries too ding dang hard. Okay, sometimes he’s funny but that’s only when I’m in a really sunny mood. Like, on Fridays.
Hipsters: Oh, I’m so cool because I wear ironic things like scarfs in the summer and jeans that make my weenie cry and I’m so different even though there are about a million of us so I’m not that “unique”. And I’m totally aware of my coolness, which cancels the coolness out.
Blonde Hair on Black Folks: The lightest I’ll accept is honey blonde. After that, you look like a plum fool. A ripe plum fool. There are certain things that are best left to the 2520s. Such as wearing sweatshirts and shorts or rockin’ flip-flops in 50-degree weather.
@Cheekie,
I HATE Diddy
No seriously. He needs to just end it. Ugh!
His corniness is just unforgiven!
I even wrote on it, smh… http://fairlyfabulous.blogspot.com/2009/04/and-award-goes-to.html
@Ms_Slim,
Oooh, gotta check that rant out. I’m sure it’ll warm the cockles of my heart.
I also hate how his excuse for being an a-hole to his staff is because he had to go through the hard life to get where he is. Naw, you’re doing that to FRONT. STFU and sit your no-dancing, no-rapping self down.
@Cheekie,
I hate him so much I just got a headache
*goes to take an Aleve*
smh…
@Ms_Slim,
LOL. Loved your rant, by the way.
Oh and I really hated him on the MTB finale. He thought his “Cerock Obama” in “Imma put it on her” was brilliant…just brilliant!
@Cheekie,
Alls I gotta do now is find his email address or something. I reallly want to send this to him, lol
@Cheekie,
Arrogance with not a peek of self awareness or tongue in cheek self deprecation is not hot at all. So check on Diddy.
and how much do I heart you for calling out the blond-on-brown madness?! Double serving of hate on the male blond-on-brown that’s all the rage now. It’s even cropping up in my fave Nollywood movies! Booooo!!
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH PANAMA….. PLEASE GRANT ME THE BLESSING OF SEEING YOU AND YOUR “KNOT” IN A PAIR OF SKINNY JEANS.. Of course I would never expect you to display your good bizznizz in public… I’m just sayin…… *winkin @ the ninja*, I see you boo!
I know I can be a hater at times…. every thing mentioned in the “what grinds my gears” or “people i would never want to see bukkidnaked” posts are an insight of what i can be like when I have had a small cup of haterade. MY LITTLE COUSIN CALLS ME A HATER ALLL THE TIME. For some reason, my little cousin (27 yrs old) makes it her business to invite the most criminal lookin momofuggas to my crib everytime she decides to pass by. I ask her to please stop bringing any ninja she picks up off the street to my house…she tells me to stop hating on her men! One time she needed some legal advice, so I went to bring her to the lawyers office, and the heffa wore GOLD HOTPANTS!!! TO THE FRIGGIN LAWYERS OFFICE!!!. I was the hater when I told her that I felt her outfit was inappropriate to wear to that kind of meeting. Yall know it didnt stop at the gold hot pants… The outfit consisted of gold hotpants (yes she does have the body for it) a tank top halter, 1947348293274239873245789020 gold bangles bellydancer style earrings, exposed belly ring, rock of love style 6 inch lucite heels, and a tote 10x bigger than she was. she thought she looked expensive… I thought she looked like a dayum fool! smh.. Of course she called me a hater!
I think everyone has done a lil hating…. a time or 2 before!
@Laneianna,
based on the description of your cousin, I just got one question… She wouldn’t happen to work at ‘Club Onyx’ would she?
Jesus be a Tahari tailored skirt suit for HER!
@Laneianna,
lmao@ clear heels. She was planning on getting that free legal advice
drake is dope because just about all of us know someone like him. he is one of the few rappers that is real enough to openly express his faults through music (also why kanye is dope).
for me drake has spit plenty of lines that resonate with me, which ones? i was hoping you’d ask….
wifey’s over b*tches / money’s over her / cause money’s under nothing / my life is such a blur / that’s not the way it has to go that’s just what i prefer / and do not disagree with me it’s best you just concur
i sent your girl a message said “i’ll see you when i can” / she sent me one back / but i ain’t never read it / cause p*ssy’s only p*ssy and i get it when i need it
…cause she lives in a mind-state that i could never move to / until you find yourself it’s impossible to lose you
this young boy got fly without peter pan / and my delivery has got me buzzin’ like the pizza man
i fall in love with girls caught up in superficial glamour / that dress like sarah jessica and live like princess diana
i could go all day with drake, kanye, jay, and wayne quotes…
@Carver The Great!,
I was totally with you til you said, “Wayne”.
One just can’t put Wayne in the same boat as JAY and YE and even Drake. I mean….just can’t.
fin.
@Ms_Slim,
i know you don’t want to admit it, but there has been NO ONE, i repeat NO ONE who has come out with the amount of quality material as wayne.
there’s an article in the latest king mag stating that wayne is the best punchline rapper ever and i dare you to prove them wrong.
it hurts to write that…but objectively think about it before you reply
@Carver The Great!,
Was that sarcastic regarding Wayne… you really think he has the best material? like really?
*walks away*
*comes back scratching head*
…. really?
@Naturally Alise,
does wayne put out some bs every now and again? yes. who doesn’t? but you have to consider the amount of material he puts out.
wayne has been dope since the hot boys
however, there was no sarcasm in the above statements.
“so next time you mention pac, biggie, and jay-z, don’t forget weezy ba-by” – lil wayne
sure he talks about topics that you might not care about, but if you solely pay attention to how he puts the words together, the punchlines, syncopation, rhyme schemes, etc. you’ll appreicate wayne.
also, lupe is another who is far superior than 99.99% of the other artists…
@Carver The Great!,
DEFINITELY feel you on the Lupe love.
But Wayne is WACK! I can’t stress that enough.
Lupe rocks my socks though. Chi-City rocks
@Carver The Great!,
Chiming in on the Lupe love. Ms. Slim, our Chi does in fact, rock.
@Ms_Slim,
eff it! i have all my work done and i don’t work tomorrow. i’m goin’ in.
keep going… (c) jay-z
wayne is better than jay. yeah i said it.
hov was 26 when he came out with reasonable doubt, and he has consistently improved since then. he is the one of the most efficient rappers to date, by efficient i mean he can use the least amount of words to express his ideas while still creating a melody.
wayne is 26 NOW. and, lyrically, Carter III > Reasonable Doubt. so if you think of how much jay has grown since reasonable doubt imagine where wayne is gonna be. also take into consideration that wayne’s musical work ethic far outweighs jay’s.
i’d like to state for the record that jay-z is still my favorite rapper, but i gotta state facts.
@Carver The Great!,
I just can NOT with that statement.
I’d love to get in a rebuttal….but naaah…Wayne isn’t even worth it. Wayne is a fad, not a legend. Period.
YEA, EYYYYE SAID IT!!!
*drops mic and walks away*
@Ms_Slim,
*mortal kombat voice* Carver Wins!
@Carver The Great!,
Maybe you used the the wrong sign, but are you saying that Carter III is better than reasonable doubt?!?!?! (**loading up the Ruger with hydrashocks**)
Bond.
Time to hate outside the box…
Red pens– why the gotta be so d@mn RED?
Water- yeah, I know it covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, makes up 67% of human body mass and is possibly singly responsible for this being the only habitable planet in the solar system but SOFRIGGINWHAT? I just don’t get the big deal about H20
Argyle socks— Iono about you, but something about them just ain’t RIGHT to me…
Steel wool– if THAT ain’t an oxy moron Iunno what is. How can it be a biologic and non-biologic material that’s ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ all at the same time… methinks there is a conspiracy afoot.
Burnt sienna– just what color is sienna? What is ‘sienna’ and how did it get burnt?
Marsupials– no explanation needed. Platypi, koalas, kanga and roo too… yep, all get a *side eye* from me
@blackberry molasses,
“Water”
WHAAAAAAA?! As the campaign manager of water, I do not approve of this message. It is the best beverage in the history of drinking. Any other beverage just makes you thirsty FOR water. The fact that it tastes like nothing yet tastes so good kicks every other beverage’s rump.
But in all seriousness, your post cracked me up. Hating water is a new one and I kinda love you for it. And hate you, too. Because I’m a hater.
@blackberry molasses,
Thought I was the only one. Water can kick ROCKS!
Now VITAMIN water……that’s different lol. I digs that
@blackberry molasses,
lmao@ this list
“Water”
What are your thoughts on air?
@Me fail english?,
Its a necessary evil. Much like the Democratic Party. YEAH, I SAID IT!
@blackberry molasses, better yet much like a necessary evil…politics!!
@blackberry molasses,
1. LMAO! I’m upset that you’re hating on water. THIS, my friends, is the level of HATE that I admire. I must aspire to it.
b. Argyle socks make the world go round. Don’t let nobody tell you different. I have about 5 pairs.
3a. “Steel Wool” – You ain’t gotta talk bout Alise’s hair like that. It ain’t nice. *chuckles*
@Luvvie,
shots fired… i see your hair is the bullets… I’m scurred *wall slide*
@blackberry molasses,
and the award for the most eclectic out of the box hateration has to go to you hands down. I don’t see this being topped by anything. I mean, red pens, kangaroos and -water?! I did literally LOL @ this.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
I hate water. Fish have sex in it.
Thank you.
@8th Wonder,
lol! yall are killin me this morning!
@8th Wonder,
LMAO. Guurrl u wile 4sho!
@blackberry molasses,
LMAO i miss you on vsb bbmo when you’re not around.
but i feel you on the marsupials!! those animals just are NOT right. how you gon have a built in fanny pack on you body to raise your kid in?? uh uh, no can do.
@Gem-balaya,
I’m sayin’!! And theys a bunch of theivin animals. On a walkabout a kangaroo STOLE my girls flip flops… only to chew on em and fling them at her head 20 minutes later. THE NERVE of SOME ANIMALS.
katt williams?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
pananamanian, come on now.
not only is he funny as sh*t, but his stand ups are better then next time around like reheating mama’s pasta.
i have seen pimp chronicles a hundred times and i still crack up. it’s more than funny, it’s motivational speaking at it’s finest. whenever i think i’m having a bad day, i just remember poor lil tink tink.
@Carver The Great!,
That bama is not that funny. He has been studying all of the Def Comedy Jam handbooks and it shows in the content of his work. You know you’re some slum when you have to challenge another marginally funny comedian like Steve Harvey.
@CPT Callamity,
no one cares about comedians beefin’. we’re talking about standups, and pimp chronicles 1 is a classic.
@Carver The Great!,
I guess some of the stuff he says is funny but I be all laughing on the insides and shyt.
@Carver The Great!,
katt williams has always been a “thats funny” guy to me. like, the stuff he says will make me say “thats funny”, but i wont actually do any laughing
@The Champ,
lol. well said
@Carver The Great!,
He’s not funny, he only looks that way.
Bond
So I’m copying. Eff yall too!
More isht I don’t “get”:
-Tupac worship
-E40 (does anyone outside the Bay like him?)
-KRS One (his nostrils are straight disrespectful and I suspect the reason for staggering rates of asthma in the South Bx)
-Kelly from Destiny’s Child (I’m convinced ppl just pretend to like her cuz they hate Bey so much)
@Me fail english?,
“-E40 (does anyone outside the Bay like him?)”
For real. He’s in the running for most annoying rapping voice. He sounds like he’s upchucking his breakfast.
@Cheekie,
Don’t forget about his slanguage.
Fashiggadelf scrappy dappy molcha fetti bwoy!

ROFL. Art.
@Cheekie,
I. HATE. HIM!!!!
@Me fail english?,
I’d like to add Scarface to this list. I liked him when I was younger. Now he just bores me
@Me fail english?,
And KRSOne’s teefs are complicated. They fighting for attention and they ALL lose. Just rude.
KRS’s nose was the last king of scotland.
@Me fail english?,
i miss Pac *sad face*
@Gem-balaya,
Me, also. Sexiest rap voice in the game.

-Kelly from Destiny’s Child (I’m convinced ppl just pretend to like her cuz they hate Bey so much)
***the prevailing word world outreach center***
@Me fail english?,
Kelly from Destiny’s Child (I’m convinced ppl just pretend to like her cuz they hate Bey so much)
She fine though..
@Me fail english?,
I agree on one thing: I hate Tupacalytes. Sure the brotha had a decent track record, but damn…even kids who weren’t old enough to understand him try to tell me he’s the G.O.A.T. I’m like GTFOH kid, you still rock Spongebob merchandise.
@Me fail english?,
Pac worship is too far, but he had a significant impact, don’t front.
E-40′s early stuff (Federal, In A Major Way, Down & Dirty) was that crack. I remember going to house parties from 90-94 hearing “Mr. Flamboyant”, “Let’s Get Drunk” and “Captain Save A H*e” on blast. That was get tore up party music….ahhh, the memories..
Bond
@ Panama
If you want some even rawer hiphop, get YU’s album Before Taxes (he’s on that diamond district joint).
Hit me: cptcallamity@gmail.com for the links.
Honestly though,
Skinny Jeans are man-sucos. I can’t believe that someone convinced these young cats that wearing Parasucos for men was sexy? I saw a big 6’5″ skinny cat rockin them and he looked like he was in moderate pain…how easily the youth are influenced.
I concur with Katt Williams: marginally funny midget that uses F-bombs as his punchlines. Seen it before.
I hate the term hater. It’s cliche and played out only by people who think they are important, even though no one cares what they do and clearly aren’t jealous.
@CPT Callamity,
Katt Williams has become progressively unfunnier (I’m sure there’s a real word for this) since he started doing “that stuff”. He just seems angry as hell and it makes me feel bad for him. I also don’t like people who use their cursewords like they just learned them
@Me fail english?,
LOL @ use their curse words like they just learned them.
Personally I think he’s funny…but he isnt like, “oh my goodness I’m gonna pee on myself if you dont STOP IT” funny. At all.
@Me fail english?,
Not only that, have you seen his movie called “Internet Dating” with Master P? Need I say more? The highlight of that whole film was a voluptuous vixen who came perused through one scene and that was it. I’ll watch his stand ups but aside from a few chuckles, he’s just eh…
@CPT Callamity,
Master P still makes movies?!?!
@Me fail english?,
Unfortunately. They all star washed up C grade actors like Tiny Lister, that midget from Bad Santa and Micheal Blackson (muddah-sucka). Master P’s lines are the same in every movie too. I was also going to ask who keeps approving this cat’s movies and where the budget is coming from considering No Limit hasn’t sold shyt since the turn of the century.
@CPT Callamity,
“I was also going to ask who keeps approving this cat’s movies and where the budget is coming from ”
I’d bet anything that P is the mastermind behind Choppa Suits
@CPT Callamity,
I’m just mad you took it all the way back to Parasucos… do they even make those anymore?
I hate talking on the phone. Most times the convo isnt even pressing and could very well be put in the ‘I’m bored and dont have shyt else to do’ category
Well I’m busy all the time, so…just text me. Damn!
@Ms_Slim,
I actually hate texting. Especially when it is used in place of picking up the phone to say hello and what have you. I’ve recently been getting asked “when are we going out?” via text and I find that so f*ckin tacky…
Yes…someone actually was asking ole CPT out…
@CPT Callamity,
See, sometimes I dont mind being texted a date, because Im usually too busy to talk honestly. I can totally see how you feel like it’s rude though. For me though, it’s just a matter of my schedule and me knowing that when he calls me (and this has happened several times) and I dont answer, there’s a strong possiblity I dont call back for days, smh. I’m terrible. That’s why I prefer text.
@CPT Callamity,
I REALLY hate conversational texters. If you just want to quickly relay info to me, cool. But when ppl write “Hey, what’s up?”
Instant igging
@Me fail english?,
First off I only got 250 texts a month because I figured it’s not that big a deal, but there is always some bored jerk of a chick who feels the need to text me while in some class or bored at work. I personally don’t give a fock about your day enough to respond to “Im sleepy. Im bored”
I long for the days of pagers and housephones, at least it wasn’t as intrusive.
@CPT Callamity,
I personally don’t give a fock about your day enough to respond to “Im sleepy. Im bored”
I’m sorry, but this right here has me laughing…
ice freakin’ cold!!!
@CPT Callamity,
Exactly. I only have 300 txts a month and when ppl hit me wit sum bs I reply “These txts aint free!”. And they always respond “Well, you should get unlmtd”
NO! Why would I pay more for a service I hate?! You should stop txting me is what should happen. You don’t have to worry about me talking your ear off if you call. I dont wanna talk to yall neither, naggas!
@Ms_Slim,
Yay, another hater of talking on the phone. Folks think I’m rude for not calling them and whatnot, but I just don’t like it. It’s awkward unless it’s something extremely interesting to talk about and talking on the phone makes your ear sweat. And no one likes ear sweat. It’s an abomination.
@Cheekie,
lol @ ear sweat.
But yea…for me, it’s just a matter of my attention span. Most things dont really grab me for long periods (convinced I have ADD) and I’m usually on the phone for a LONG time when I’m on it vocally. So unless the convo is pressing OR it’s someone important (read: fam or the person I love (mmhmm), I’d rather not engage. I’m usually busy a lot though and dont have time to talk on the phone. And I’m not really on it unless I’m driving or in the bed (because of the aformentioned short attention span smh)
Other than that, I can text all day long haha
@Ms_Slim,
I will join your “hate talking on the phone” bandwagon… Can’t we all just text and/or email?
@Sula,
Co-signing since 5th grade. I HATE the phone. Call me when you got something to talk about, not to tell me about every detail you are doing/done. That’s so freakin’ lame! Ugh. The women I meet got this bad.
i hate gainesvillegreen
nah just funnin’
iHate:
*People who call you a hater because you tell them the truth. You have two degrees hon, you ain’t no gangsta. Thugs don’t read.
*Plastic women. Just because I have no problem stating how wack I think it is that your hair, nose, and breasts are not real, doesn’t make me a hater. I actually LIKE having all my original parts.
*Twitter. I know folks already touched on why it’s so pointless, but I just had to chime in on that one. What’s crazy is that the main people who complain that folks are always in thier business, are the main ones twittering themselves into oblivion.
@8th Wonder,
*People who call you a hater because you tell them the truth.
Yep, I get that all the time but I’m not the sap that let someone get away with being stupid or wrong.
*Plastic women. = There has been an increase of raggedy wig wearers around these parts and I concur.
@8th Wonder,
*Plastic women. Just because I have no problem stating how wack I think it is that your hair, nose, and breasts are not real, doesn’t make me a hater. I actually LIKE having all my original parts.
Moreso than the women… I hate the plastic surgeons that make all this phony f*ckery possible.
Seriously… have you SEEN what happens to arse implants after a couple of years ?? The lifestyle lift after a few weeks?? Collagen lip injections after a few days??
Just rough and unnecessary assault to all reasonable people and their visual cortexes. iCan’t.
**resisting urge to hurl**
*ahem*
I hate e-speak. Like when folk SAY “Oh-Em-Gee” and whatnot…Ugh!
Oh and when mofos WRITE lik3 th15 1n 3v3ry m355ag3 th3y wr1t3
You really need to stop it now.
@Ms_Slim,
mofos WRITE lik3 th15 1n 3v3ry m355ag3 th3y wr1t3
I absolutely hate that too!
1. Baby Phat. Any and EVERY.SINGLE.THING by them.
2. Dereon. GTFOOHWTBS.
3. T.I. Just…EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
4. 50 Cent. Just…EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
5. (Noun followed by verb…) Beyonce acting.
6. Ciara. Just…NO. She’s a weird morph of so much that it’s just WRONG.
7. Single chicks who go out all the time. Apparently my being married and not someone who likes to go out makes me a hater cuz they have freedom to do whatever they want to do and don’t have to answer to anyone. *BLINK* Have you MET me? Do I REALLY seem like that chick who doesn’t do whatever the hell she WANTS to do? Do I seem like that chick who needs a PERMISSION SLIP? LOL! Kills me everytime. I do what I want.
8. Rachel Maddow. Her cutesy sarcasticky ickiness just really makes my teeth itch.
9. ELIZABETH HASSELBECK. I HATE THIS WITCH WITH ALL OF ME AND IT AIN’T CUZ I WANT TO BE HER. TRUST.
10. ANYBODY with jacked up hair. How could I hate on THAT? Dude…really?
11. ANYBODY dumb and uninteresting. Um…no. I can’t hate on that.
I hate when people call me a hater because I believe that if Aaliyah were still alive, Ciara’s very existence would be redundant.
It’s the truth, guys.
@8th Wonder,
Ciara is a man.
Word to Bow Wow.
@8th Wonder,
I wholeheartedly concur.
@CreoleInDC,
I really wanted to like Rachel Maddow. But she’s soooo un-Olberman. Which would be fine if that wasn’t what she was aspiring to
@CreoleInDC,
“9. ELIZABETH HASSELBECK. I HATE THIS WITCH WITH ALL OF ME AND IT AIN’T CUZ I WANT TO BE HER. TRUST.”
I also hate her with a passion. She is such an idiot and famous for no reason. She is such an unoriginal conservative mouthpiece and i during the election i was kinda hoping that Whoopi would strangle her.
The Dream – I affectionately refer to him as The Daymare. What is the fascination with this non-singing illshaped, unsexy, greasy looking “entertainer”. I want him his skinny jeans and Michael Jackson jackets to go drink some coffee spiked with Red Bull so he can wake up.
*muttering: Dream my a$$, raggedy bamma*
@Naturally Alise,
“*muttering: Dream my a$$, raggedy bamma*”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You’re my new best friend. I’m going to call you every 5 minutes. LOL! Perfect!
@CreoleInDC,
and we can hang out on weekends and have pillow fights and talk about boys…. *screams with glee*
@Naturally Alise,
And talk about Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike!
@CreoleInDC,
Cool it, nooooow. You got to cool it now.
@Cheekie,
Ooooooooooooooooooooh watch out! You gonna fall in love!
@Naturally Alise,
lol @ AFFECTIONATELY referring to him as an insult. I agree.
He’s so extra to me….smh
@Naturally Alise,
I HATE “Falsetto”. Ain’t nothin’ falsetto about that song. True falsetto was Eddie Kendricks. Not that constipated ish you talkin’ ’bout.
@Cheekie, yes.. that song. I call that song “The Melange of Incorrect Verbiage”
Ummm… newsflash dipsh*t… you can’t make a woman sing in a falsetto by giving her that good dose of vitamin d. If you are, you might want to check out her parts because ‘she’ may have been born a ‘he’
@blackberry molasses,
lol, I pointed that out to my friends and no one effing got it. Sometimes I think I need new friends
@Naturally Alise, you looked into my soul for this one!!! Yes and add to it the monstrosity known as Bobby Valentino…
Bobby looks like some sort of marsupial.
@8th Wonder,
And we all know BBMo HATES marsupials….
@8th Wonder,
He looks like a greasy troll!
@shay_d_lady,
One of my friends said “Al B. Sure is still alive? I thought he died and got reincarnated as Bobby Valentino”. iQuit her immejately. And then said “Well…”
@Luvvie,
I just heard a new Al B. Sure song on AOL radio…
I was not amused.
@miss t-lee,
I wentto his album release party 2 weeks ago and met him. Him and that unibrow. The pic & recap is on my blog. Po’ B.Sure
***shaking my head***
the dream is a dope artist/singer/songwriter….i thought y’all actually liked music.
perhaps we can find common ground…who do YOU like? this i gotta know.
@Carver The Great!,
i like the-dream. love vs. money is good stuff.
he did however have on an extremely fitted (read: schmedium) leather jacket on 106 & park the other day that i cannot condone. um no sir, try again.
@Gem-balaya,
so he’s wack because he can’t dress? if that’s the case, then lil wayne is the worst rapper alive and ugk is the worst group of all time.
@Carver The Great!,
who said anything about him being whack?? i just said i can’t condone his choice of outfit the other day. i was having trouble breathing just looking at him, i can only imagine how he was able to pump enough oxygen to make it thru that whole segment.
@Gem-balaya,
i like the-dream. love vs. money is good stuff.
Argh!! Say it ain’t so, Gemmie!!!
@blackberry molasses,
e-mama, it is so. and i have no shame.
@Gem-balaya,
go out front and find an e-switch, immejiately!!
@Carver The Great!,
so “Rockin That Thang” and “Shawty is a 10″, constitutes dope music making? I am a 80′s/90′s baby so a lot of the 2000′s era “R&B” makes me queasy…
*I do note that he is a not-too-shabby songwriter for others
@Naturally Alise,
I like The Dream’s music but I totally co-sign your statement. You can’t bump Isley Bros. or Donny and then listen to R. Kelly. Hell, I’d prefer Shalamar and Take 6 to oughts R&B
@Naturally Alise,
That first CD was nice. Purple kisses was the soundtrack to many nights of purple kisses all over my body…I digress. Sidebar: This lame is with Christina! Wow.
***a few from the champ before he reads through the comments***
1. beer.
save that “its an acquired taste” bullsh*t. you know what else is acquired? aids
2. strip clubs
i dont know, they’ve just never done it for me. i’d actually prefer to just watch a bunch of strippers walking through the mall than to go to a strip club
3. rakim**
with the exception of the “rakim” (the hi-top fade with the part going all the way back) nothing about him has ever really impressed me.
**although it wouldnt be as harsh, i could probably express similar sentiment about “outkast”**
4. oral sex
this isn’t to say that i don’t enjoy a great thought every now and then, but i’ve never looked at the bj as the end all, be all of sex. the mouth will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever compare to the vagina.
oddly enough, i still couldnt be with a chick who didnt enjoy doing it.
5. sanaa lathan, gabby union, and aaliyah.
sure, they’re each good looking chicks, but none of them ever made me go ga-ga like seemingly other black man in the country
6. scarface (the movie)
this is a stupid f*cking movie.
this feeling, btw, is coming from someone who has both godfathers, millers crossing, goodfellas, the road to perdition, casino, the departed, carlito’s way, and a bronx tale all on his “30 favorite flicks of all-time” list, and considers the sopranos the second best show in television history.
basically, i know gangster movies, i love gangster movies, and scarface is a stupid f*cking movie.
@The Champ, i used to think we were so much alike, but now….say it ain’t so champie, say it aint so.
1. beer.
save that “its an acquired taste” bullsh*t, i still maintain that it tastes exactly how i’d imagine the devil’s urine to taste
can’t agree with you there. i absolutely love beer
3. rakim…seriously?!?!? do you like hip hop?!! “paid in full” doesn’t do it for you? “i know you got soul” doesn’t do it for you? wowsers.
scarface – i’m with you there, but i love al pacino, so i can tolerate scarface
@A Plus,
rakim…seriously?!?!?
to me, rakim is like jerry west or bill russell. sure, they were the sh*t back in the day, but the eye and ear test tells me that they’d have a ton of trouble keeping up today. i mean, i get the rah’s historical relevance and all, but he just never did it for me.
@The Champ, wrong about that. Before Rakim hip hops more important the way a MC rhymed, his cadence was the singy songy hold over made popular by Rappers Delight and Kurtis Blow… Rakim changed all that. No singy song no letting the beat ride you…you ride the beat and to which the beats were now heavy on bass and slight on melodies-this meant to keep your “flow” going you have got to come up with intereseting verses and or couplets you cant just sing song – ala Jah Rule your way to the hook and then sing song the hook! Rakim showed by using no real gimmicks (not relying on slang all the time) just regular everyday words said to paint a picture and tell a story can be done. At the time most critics complained hip hops songwriting was weak it relied on too many punch line, pop references, run ons and non-sequiturs.
He didnt yell nor scream nor bragg about his stuff-”diggin into might pockets and coming up with nothing but lint” in 86 that was far different for what was considered standard rap. But todays cookie cutter-cut n paste rappers suck lyrically but that doesnt matter its like the NBA all everybody wanna do is dunk, the hell with D and other intangibles. But the R has held his own thru the test of time hell even Lil Wayne used a line of his on one of his songs…”I”m thinking of a master plan”. Last if you watched the NFL’s “greatest game” you’d see it was played sloppy and rife with turnovers but it changed the NFL because of timing and circumstance, same with Rakim.
@The Champ, i mean for real Rakim and Outkast? and on top of that you are a WU fan….
smh..
what the Feezy?
@shay_d_lady,
…and?
@shay_d_lady, i like Outkast, but I’m also a Wu fan, too…who knew these 2 things could exist in the same space and time….
@The Champ,
It’s because it’s so over the top.
Plus Al Pacino’s bad accent and Michelle Pfeiffer’s horrendous acting didn’t quite help either.
@miss t-lee, I dont dislike scarface but it is near the bottom of gangster movies… and Tony Montana aint got Shyt on Michael Corleone…………in short its the Nas of gangster movies.. a few good parts, notable quotables and lots of un realized potential
@shay_d_lady,
wow…good analogy. LOL!!!
@shay_d_lady,
hahahha! The Nas of gangster flicks…
It doesn’t really make any of my lists…it’s so far back of the line especially with GF 1 & 2, Goodfellas, Casino and the like…
@shay_d_lady,
i’d go as far to say that scarface is the shine of gangster flicks. much ado about a bunch of bullsh*t
@shay_d_lady,
I thought Scarface was meant to be funny. Brian DePalma can be playful that way. Esp since the original was hilariously awful (sorry cinephiles).
It wasn’t until I realized how many rappers and hood ninjas took that ish dead serious that I started giving that bish the side-eye
@The Champ,
i don’t agree with, but can understand the rakim thing. i wasn’t impressed when i first heard him, but then i started listening to everyone before him and realize how much he changed the way people rhyme.
rakim is rapping what the 3 point line is to basketball.
@Carver The Great!,
good analogy.
i never said that he sucks…just never was my cup of kool-aid and sh*t
@The Champ,
i co-sign beer (all big 3 beer companies), strip clubs, and Scarface. Scarface will never be on my list of all time great gangster movies. great list by the way…
@The Champ,
Maybe you just detest all things southern. Or perhaps you just don’t understand (kinda like you never heard of Kool-Aid pie). How could you possibly hate Outkast?? You must explain this my brotha.
@IDaHoe,
i never said i hated outkast. i actually like outkast. i just never thought of them as the gold standard for rap groups, thats all
@The Champ,
I agree. They’re overrated cuz they’re “different”. Let’s add Killer Mike to that pile as well
@The Champ,
i feel you i was feelin un on southerplayalistic……, then they lost me on atliens except for elevators n jessibell, i liked um in aquemini and they been coo eva since. dre 3000 is a lyrical genius. besides myself “thagrindaholic” i have major lyrics.
@The Champ,
“Bronx Tale” was THAT movie!!!!! I still lean over and open the car door b/c of that.
@Luvvie,
The door test!!!!!!
@Luvvie,
Yes, that movie is close to my heart. The door test owns the Mario test.
@Luvvie,
Too bad Lillo started shooting heroin and breaking into cribs. He was cute in that movie
@Me fail english?,
He’s in jail now *sad face*. He was a cutie! With that chiseled face.
@The Champ,
**although it wouldnt be as harsh, i could probably express similar sentiment about “outkast”**
*gasps*
@The Champ,
you lost me at not being excited by gettin some brains thats my fav thang mayne
@The Champ,
1. Damn, beer? Have you tried different imports.
4. I love the vagina more than the next man, but there is something about a woman with a mean mouth: see: bobbi bliss, annette schwartz, bella donna for professional references. It inspires me to do better…(***tears of joy**)
@The Champ,
2. strip clubs
i dont know, they’ve just never done it for me. i’d actually prefer to just watch a bunch of strippers walking through the mall than to go to a strip club
^^
U no likey Strip Clubs? I need to see ur man pass asap. Im sorry cant cosign
Rakim – U just gotta respect rhat man. he was the inspiration for a LOT of emcees
@streetz, again he changed the way you rapped, listen to Newcleus’ Jam On It…that was 83 from then to the R first album thats was rap-he changed that. You dont have to sing song raps-you flow over the beat The R is responsible for that. And this isnt coming from a R fan-back then I woulda played more Rob Base than Paid In Full-I was about ten when those songs were on the streets. I still question when dudes really got into rap and know its history…maybe it cuz I am from NYC we still look at ALL of the intangibles not an MC’s popularity with the ladies or if you “got it” one of my boys loves hip hop never was into the Roots but respects Black Thought and the Band, Jordan was the man but I was not a fan of his but he was The Man make no mistake about it. I bet the best rapper you like would say that Rakim had a distinct influence on his wanting to rap-he made it seem so easy that ANYONE could do it.
@temps,
FYI Im NYC to the Heart taking this hip hop ish back to Krush Groove son. Q-Boro to the fullest. Real recognize real. Everything you just said about the history is common knowledge, with the sense.
All the great rappers of today have been “accused” of sounding like a predecessor. Drake will be no different.
He doesnt autotune on T-Pain ye ish btw.
Once again to each his own, and the boy got lyrics dudes should respect. Same way I may not be into Little Brother like that, but I respect and recognize their talent
@streetz,
And one more thing.
My fav rappers include BIG, Nas, Hov, Ye, ATQC, Outkast, Redman, and others.
iHate;
Bad headphones. i love music, so unwarranted cracks and pops in the middle of me listening to Petramentals or J-Love Japan or some other instrumental album (you know when your actually listening, not having the playlist on and not paying attention) is EXTRA bad, ESPECIALLY if they have weak drivers…come on 8mm? Try 40, Shouts to Skullcandy.
MIMMS, besides the fact that hes a wack rapper, he sampled some of the hottest songs in hip-hop history for his first single with no real beat other than that loop you know the one, the one with the C3P0 boops in the backround, UNNACCEPTABLE.
Soulja Boy, the “props to the slave masters” statement. i had no words. THEN i realized their are no words for it, i nomminate him as the test subject to determine if the “enhanced interrogation techniques” used by the Bush Admin. are torture or not. lmao
People who type really slowly, i feel like after all this time and different instant message clients have been out you should AT LEAST be typing 60 words a min WITHOUT looking at the keyboard!
People who snore loudly. honestly ive been prone to call a hog or too when im dog tired, but for real? on the real? if your producing soundwaves that can knock the popcorn of a popcorn ceiling you need to sleep on assisted breathing or some ish so THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN SLEEP!
B, The Thunder Goat, The Mess. I dont care how good she looks, sometimes i want to admire a woman for her inner sexy and not have her sexuality thrown in my face, i still remember that period right after “Crazy in Love” when it seemed her “King”eque pictures were EVERYWHERE! d@mn can i live and sh!t?
Rainboots. while they have practial application lots of ladies were rockin them joints in 70 degree cloudless sunshine weather…..so i know them feet, in that colorful patterend rubber….had to be sweaty. Thus the fate the rainboots were designed to prevent (wet feet), they have engineered themselves. d@mn shame…
ive got more…but ima wrap it up.
peace, love, and good chex to everyone.
@ESQuared,
I e-stan for your ENTIRE post!!
Especially the bad headphones thing. SkullCandy Headphones are that ISH!!!!!! They actually revealed to me how BADLY iPods render sound.
Methinks I’m in e-love **looks over shoulder to make sure hubby didn’t read that**
@blackberry molasses, I accept your e-love. me thinks we should e-go out to busboys and poets on open mic night. (if your not from the DC area then know its rather like the spot in “Love Jones” but with lots of people with mac books and better furnature. lmao)
and no need to check for hubby, im just a temporary E-boo. Im sure in some post in future ill say something you fundamentally disagree with and e-quit me) (i am of course saying that for his benifit) lmao
@ESQuared,
oooh, looky!! I’m having an e-affair!! I feel so bad!!
@blackberry molasses,
I hate rainboots and I hate Crocs. Who is the ugly genius that designed such disgusting footwear?
@CPT Callamity,
the same azzhole who designed Uggs. I’m convinced they are all the same person and when I find him/her/it, we finsta have WORDS!
@CPT Callamity,
hell yea wtf crocs are jus some plastic shoes i dont get it and ill stick to my nikes/jordans/kswiss
@ESQuared,
I’m not from Dc but i know about busboys n poets, what night do they have open mic?
@PrincesMo, its different nights at the different locations.
at the one on 14th street its on tuesday starting at 9
on 5th and K its on wendsday starting at 8

Teyana Taylor – what exactly does she do again?
Kobe – also referred to as Hobe or Slobe… his resume wreaks of b*tch@ssness… he’s a habitual line-stepper
Lakers fans – especially if you’re not from L.A. Why? Just admit you’re a Kobe fan, and that if he left and went to the Charlotte Bobcats you’d jump on their bandwagon. Name one player from the ’93-’94 team. If you don’t know who Sedale Threat, Cedric Ceballos, or Nick Van Exel are then kick rocks with bare feet!

That is my thought on insurance too! And then when you use it your darn premium go up, you think to yourself that you should have just paid for whatever happened out of your pocket. Ugggg!
@SouthernCharm, girl is you in Memphis!!! I so heart your post.. especially the first friday call out !!!! girl if this post were church I would be walking the green mile to being saved!!!!!

“Local First Fridays – same college party you used to attend, full of call center employees in all of their hubris… minus the part-hopping, strolling, & strutting…”
I stopped going to these thangs years ago…too much posing and posturing for me.
@SouthernCharm,
“Kid Cudi – lame hipster. can’t spit although that Day & Night joint was catchy”
Yeah, and since it’s catchy, I hate it. I don’t even think it’s a good song. It sounds so lazy. Not lazy writing, lazy singing. Like, he literally sounds like he just got outta bed and recorded that chorus.
Also, I’ve been pronouncing his name Kid Coo-dee for the longest.
@SouthernCharm,
@USC football:co-sign for the rest of my life. I’m from the south, and I would cut off my finger to see them play one of the top 3 SEC teams so we can end all of the speculation. They beat no one the entire year, but consistently rank in the top 3?!?! WTMF?!!??!!!
There’s a number of things I hate (on) and I recently wrote a post on it here:
http://presidentialtelevisionandfilm.ning.com/profiles/blogs/im-a-hater-hes-a-hater-shes-a
Check it out!!
know what else I hate? The fact that the ad on this site is:
“Established Men: Sugardaddy Dating.com.
Where beautiful girls and established men meet.”
Jesus be some SENSE for GoogleAds.
More stuff iRoast:
*Coldest Winter Ever – You cant tell some Black folks this aint the best piece of literature ever written. But I find Sister Souljah obnoxious and her kissing her own *ss for half the book was not appreciated. This book is at best, a BET BlackBuster. It’s a poorly written ghetto tale. Whooptido!
*Zane – Poorly written erotica. The fact that she has a book called Alpha Phi F*ckem kills me. I read it b/c I was curious, then got mad for wasting precious 2 hrs on that. F her life
*List other Black “urban” lit authors here.*
Please don’t get me going on Zane with her non-writing, gramatical errors-a-plenty, vulgar, raggedy, dime store, extra regular ass!
whew.
@Luvvie,
“*Coldest Winter Ever ”
I never read this and never plan to. I’d probably cringe throughout the whole book. That goes for Zane, too.
And I’m mad at all the folks who list Coldest Winter Ever as their fave book on Facebook. Never fails. These same people used to say that was their fave book when we were in eighth grade, but we’s grown now. You ain’t read better ish SINCE? Sadness.
@Luvvie,
LMAO! WOW!
I loved the Coldest Winter Ever and Omar Tyree is my favorite.
@Luvvie,
Haha, I actually liked Coldest Winter, but you’re right. The author playing Deus Ex Machina is not the biz. And her book was published by a major I think. How’d she sneak that past editing?
@Luvvie,
I thought I was the only one who hated Coldest Winter Ever and Zane.
I hated Coldest Winter Ever and Sister Souljah so much that I read her autobiography and Midnight, the sequel to Coldest Winter Ever just to confirm my suspicions that she’s an idiot.
Thank you.
Speaking of movies…
I don’t get these:
-Deer Hunter – long and boring, even the russian roulette scene at the end
-Taxi Driver – weird and boring. I just couldn’t wait for Travis to STFU!
-Rocky- Fcuk him
-Once Upon a Time in America – This is another thing that I think ppl pretend to like because of the major players involved. Yall know that isht wasn’t even mildly entertaining
-The Last House on the Left (original ’70s version) – I’m even scared of bad scary movies (Skeleton Key anyone?) but this shet just bored me
@Me fail english?,
-Once Upon a Time in America – This is another thing that I think ppl pretend to like because of the major players involved. Yall know that isht wasn’t even mildly entertaining
i dont think anybody really liked this movie that much. it had star power, but it was like 5 hours long.
(thats no hyperbole, btw, for those who havent seen it. this movie is 5 f*ckin hours long)
@Me fail english?,
@Once Upon A Time in America: (**Fires entire clip, reloading**) WHAT?!?!?!! This is one of the best movies EVER. MADE. PERIOD.
@Rocky: What? Just….why…what DO you like…
Bond. BlkBond.
Yall can call me a hater but
1) Jay-z sucks and is not in the top 20 best rappers alive
2) Kobe is a whiney biatch ala Jay Cutler, T.O.
3) Lebron is the best basketball player alive
4) Kool G Rap is the best east coast rapper of all time
5) If someone gave me a new benz/bmw/any other exotic expensive car I would sell it and buy buicks
As I believe was previously stated, we are all haters. So Panama, don’t feel bad….well it’s already obvious that you don’t lol.
VSB community, Can I air out some hate?

blackberry Ninjas swear this is the second coming of 22nd century technology. Why? Push email? BBM? the lil rolly ball thingy in the center? The Storm SUCKS, and other phones finish the BB in overall quality and features. The blacker the berry, the whacker the phone!
autotune It was gr8 when T Pain brought it back, but everyone and their momma have added it into the “classic album” blueprint, and I cant deal anymore. I dont care if the song is hot with it, STOP USING IT!
Swagger this one is tuff because the more i want to stop using it, the more the word becomes apropo. smh. can we have a funeral for this word?
Very Smart Brothers Yall cats aint intelligent! You’re just 2 Nikkas witha keyboard and free time! I mean yall won awards n shyt, but I got that hot ish! Them John Blaze blog! I dont even know why I comment on this shyt! Ole Red and Meth lookin ass ninjas!

This is by far, the primest of ALL hate on VSB today (besides BBMo hating on water). With as much hate that has been spewed today, this is an accomplishment. Kudos.
@Luvvie, lolol thank u!

wow!! is it bad that i have an e-crush on you for this?? you nearly blew my hate of water out of the…. water.
but i can’t ride with you on the Crackberry hate. Nosiree!
@blackberry molasses, BBmo, e-crushes are safe, lol
@streetz,
LOST is the drug of choice. This is one of the best shows on television (including Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Grey’s, True Blood, Big Love, Scrubs)
@Blk Bond,
Ohhhhh man I adore Mad Men. I tried to put my friends on, but they didn’t want to listen. I don’t even know if they’ve signed off on a 3rd season.
@streetz, it was not great when Tpain brought it back he aint no better just first
I cosign the Aubrey Graham Jimmy from Degrassi (Drake, say what?) hateration.
I just do not get it. Maybe light skinneded dudes are coming back? First Chris, now Drake…
My List
Keri Hilson – just cause thou hast written for stars does not mean thou shalt be a star. Be gone.
Lil Wayne – give Reggie his crazy ass rapper persona back…or pay some royalties. Get. Gone.
Asher Roth – couldn’t make it through his album so most of this hateration is that he’s a white boy … tellin me that white boys rule hip-hop and will love him. Dammit. I knew this day was coming and as a self-respecting black man…he shalt be resisted. Also – since there is the predictable silence from black folks on this front my hate is as intense as it would be if black folks weren’t so damn colonized and we all rose up and defended our art and culture. *sigh*
Wayans that aren’t Damon circa 1992 – Be gone.
Atlanta – you’re the nexus of nouveau riche/bougie/ghetto blackness that has destroyed all modern corporate black music for an entire generation (minus Usher, The Dungeon Family and Joi Gilliam…who, sidenote, is a genius). Take T.I., ghettofied Monica, and every mealy mouthed “rapper” you’ve created in the last decade and … get. gone.
i know i am late and all… but i hate India Arie. that chick sucks.
I really wish you would tweet more… i know you have crazy random thoughts all day you just ball them all up into blog posts… like this entire posts could have made for a lot of hilarious tweets…lol
Here it is:
Grown men clinging to their fading and former younger “street” selves
All those LV and Coach bags and sneakers..them Pradas too and “Coogi jeans” all that stuff is dirt cheap or fake so who cares you got it
this current era of hip hop.. the worst ever
