Current mood:  blessed
I remember when an intern at the Ed and Mo (Ed Lover and Monie Love)in the morning on pwer 1051,was also interning at VH1 and came to work one morning asking our advice on an idea she and a group of other interns were presenting to programming.It was the beginings of what we now know as Hip Hop Honors.A heart warming event that doesn't have an award per say,but pays tribute and honor for one night of classic nostalgia set to the background of hip hop.I've attended this affair twice,once in 05 and again this year.The first year I attended as talent and this year wanting to grab some red carpet interviews for my respective radio shows I attended as radio journalist.Both times witnessing several hip hop greats not being admitted,and being spoken to and treated rather disrespectfully from whom looked to be VH1 employees,according to their credentials.It's sad really when you think about it that how could you have an event you can gather will attract many classic artists that may not be getting honored that particular evening,and mistreat them upon entrance.Is the event only open to classic hip hop artists being honored at that moment,and the rest don't mean anything?If that be the case then that would mean the entire honors is a sham and on the real the network couldn't careless.I battle with that theory everyday since thursday last week after watching Scarface standing outside not being re-admitted for lack of laminate pass.I really enjoyed ,however,the honors providing a meeting place for the most ultimate high school re-union known to music.Shout to my classmates of Hip Hop High,I honor you all every day!!!!!!!

It is extremely difficult and sometimes downright challenging to remain true to oneself in this life.Time and time again the temtation to join the masses in a 'majority rule' train of thought comes knocking down your door saying 'hey, you can't beat us so join us'.ocassionally it's approach isn't so amicable,sometimes its a matter of being disrespected,disappointed,and or disillusioned.Though heartbreaking it is to ones soul and sense of self,one has to take an extremely long and deep breath,tighten up that lip,and say to yourself 'self,how can I demand to be respected in this life if I dont respect myself enough to say no to what I know to be wrong on a variety of levels,in a wide array of categories.Just because people you know,came up with,and trusted their sense of self and moral conduct point the finger at you to be wrong for not laying down your sword of self respect,that you should lay down your weapon of self pride and kneel before a God King,and roll with the masses.I say no to this,I will not compromise my self,my partner,my children,I have them to think of and will not lower my bar of standards,will not kneel to the God King,I will stand against larger numbers,as Lianitus and his 300 did,and demand my glory'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There exists a name,a term,a title of a woman that has been surpassed in importance.What this female stands for has been put on the back burner to make way for all types of  false ideologys.Infact lets just be completely "frank" with eachother right now,the word and charachteristic of 'MOM' has been surpassed and placed second inline to the lose use in ordinary conversation of the word 'BITCH'. Now you can agree to disagree as much as you like but we have undergone a surge of  'BITCH' content in our everyday everything,music,tv,movies,magazines,advertisements,you name it the 'BITCH' content is there in all its glory partnered with 'SLUT,WHORE,and good ole PORN STAR'.MOM on the other hand,being the nurturing,loving,protective and forever enduring soul that she is ,is just not fashionable in the mainstream,so she remains a silent hero.Continuing to do her part for mankind,taking unrivaled care of her responsibility,putting nothing before those she bore,and making a point out of her aspirations to mold a young one into someone fit to go against the grain of a world so caught up in sensationalism. I salut you MOM,MOMMY,MOTHER.To me you take on a position of ultimate supremecy though you ironically live underground as an unsung hero.

Its important that you know you are loved,adored,and cherished.Once said by a strong man,dear friend,and prolific artist: Dear Mama,you are appreciated.TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR.

                               happy mothers day.

The easiest thing to do is talk on a matter.The hardest thing to do is to act upon it. There are areas in life that are best acted upon rather than spoken of. Now these moments come in a variety of  forms that are vast,but you always seem to know when they are and what they are.Never is it a  matter of discussion,for discussion simply implicates you are unsure about what it is that you need to act upon.One remains confident and quiet and carries out the act necessary to each specific matter.This is a description of a side to me that is seldom understood.Maybe it'll help you figure out why I deal with you on the level that I do,whether that be up close and personal or cordially at arms length.This may also help you make different decisions on how people and matters are dealt with in your own life.Most importantly,the only person owed any form of explanation as to your methods of conduct and decision making is YOU!

I sincerely hope this meets the readers and members that it needs to,for all those who choose to take lewd pics of themselves as icons please be clear that on my page that doesnt fly.Therefore I respectfully ask that you not bother to send me a friend request or mail of any sort.My images of models are strictly Naomi,Tyra,Cindi crawford style,not crack of your ass pics.There are plenty of other pages on myspace that live for that level of exploitation so happy posting to you and yours. Thankyou for your compliance.

What is it exactly about us women that we forget our greatness,and allow ourselves to slip beneath the sublevels of not loving ourselves.The absolute belly of selflessness,displaying no self esteem at all,allowing ourselves to appear weak,desperate,and in a perpetual state of disarray,over you????????????A MAN! Are you Serious ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? Pick up your face Dammit,get a hair cut or a new do of some sort,trash those old clothes and get a whole new fabulousness to yourself.Call up your girls you haven't seen in donkeys years and plan a girls night out,plan a spa wknd trip.GET  YOUR  ACT  TOGETHER  AND STOP  APPEARING  TO  BE  A  WEAK  LOW  SELF ESTEEM  HAVING  POOR  EXCUSE  FOR  A  RED BLOODED WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You owe yourself much more than this and life is too short to be forever broken over a man that in essence was never fully yours to begin with! There is someone for everyone,someone who is as willing as you are to give himself completely to you.Contain your disappointment,control your anger,and whatever you do never allow yourself to be viewed as desperate.You are not weak,infact you're stronger than you think.You would have to be stronger than that infact to be able to read and understand the level of sisterhood Im trying to relay to you.Respect others as you wish to be respected and if you treat and display yourself as less than platinum,you will be looked upon and treated like a lesser such as gold plated! Stop crying and stand up.You're constantly on my page sister so this one was for you.

Here's to keeping you all in the loop.Ladies First originally a song recorded by Queen Latifah and Monie Love(me)celebrating the empowerment of women in society and more immediately at the time in hip hop,has now been trademarked and launched as a clothing line.The mastermind behind the line is none other than Vinnie (naughty by nature) the same man responsible for the sucess of Naughty Gear. It is with a true sense of what Latifah and I set forth in the original song in reguards to the uplifting of self esteem amoung all but especially our young women,that Vinnie along with Shakim of flava unit and Latifahs business partner have developed this truely young fresh and fabulous womens line.I have gotten onboard on a grass roots level to help maintain the free spirited  honesty,pride,and femininity and at the same  time embrassing our right as women to feel sexy and classy in whatever we wear.Look out for Ladies First the womens line late fall 07,and keep your eyes on my page and the official Ladies First page for news of  Ladies First events coming to a town near you.

Just to keep you up to speed with my crusade to restore the respect factor within all hip hop music and culture,and especially the state of women in hip hop,and the true school movement:



Check out these two interviews I did this week on National Public Radio.


The first was with MC Lyte on women in hip hop:

Hi friends,man did I really missyall.Well you already know Im not on the radio in philly anymore,what you dont know is why exactly.Well you'll have to wait for my book late in the summer to get the full SKINNY on that.What has kept me so busy that I couldn't type a few words to say wassup,well the explosion of the True School Movement(founded by 9th Wonder producer/dj formerly of Lil Brother) I've been travelling like that of a circus family around the united states hostong True School Parties and getting all the 30s the new 20s folks to come back out to the clubs.This bracket of people are so under repped,and choose not to party with their parents and the Drifters,yet dont want to deal with the babies in the white T-shirts ooops I mean dresses.What do they do,well they wind up having small functions in the home,little outside nightlife as far as partying goes or concerts.True school is putting an end to that.Up and running going on 2yrs now we provide an atmosphere inwhich you get to hear all the songs now lost to most(not all)commercial urban radio stations playlists.Whether hip hop or RnB we keep you in a place that feels good all night long.This is the connect the dots process,for a look at some of our previous parties checkout our site at trueschoolcorp.com.After connecting the dots through this travelling party,hold your hats for the arrival of true school radio and tv network,catering for that same alienated consumer.Our next True school event will be in NYC at 40 40.Yep we got Big Homies' blessing to bring the true school swag to his house fri march 30th.So if you're intown  pass through.Other than that we'll be doing it Ladies First style true school party with a female hosted and dj-ed  party at Westside in NC.Stay tuned for the exact date of the Texas Relay True school party.The book is looking great with never before mentioned behind the scenes tour stories from Big Daddy Kane to The blonde Ambition tour(Madonna)So much to talk about,can't wait to finish.Well darlings keep up,and stay in the game.Luvya Bye!
