When I look at this I see the biggest waste of money ever.  Is Snoop Dog even that important to be immortalized by wax? I think not.

So it seems that Jay-Z can find nothing better to do with his money then create a mobile store.  What’s a mobile store you ask? Well, to Mr. Carter it’s a a50-foot long trailer that can be expanded up to a thousand square feet of retail space.  Why create this you ask? Well, this store is being used to promote Rocawear’s new luxury line.  Carter worked with David Ashen, creative & principal director of D-ASH Design.

“Jay Z wanted the shop to embody his urban aesthetic. The basic idea is to transport the customer into the Jay Z and Rocawear lifestyle,” Ashen says.

You mean he couldnt find anything else to do with his money.  You mean to tell me with the amount of money he & Beyonce have, he couldn’t find anything more to do but create a store on wheels? Hello motherfucker, its a recession, try giving something back…

But anyway….for those of you, that love to buy into bullshit…The RocPopShop started its New York City tour April 3, 2009.  Currently its in Brooklyn April 14th to May 3rd at Pacific Street and 5th Avenue, open from 10 am to 9 pm.

Here’s flicks of  the “mobile” store…tsk….

Here’s the “Brooklyn Go Hard” Rocawear commerical:

“Tickets for Beyoncé’s North American concerts will be available as a pre-sale for members of Beyoncé’s Fan Club on Monday, April 20, starting at 10:00 AM local venue time. Tickets will go on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster (Ticketmaster.com/Beyonce) on Saturday, April 25, starting at 10:00 AM local venue time. In order to make her concerts affordable to all her fans, Beyoncé is making 2000 seats available at each venue for $20 (plus applicable service charges).” -beyonceonline.com

$20, for real? What kind of seats are people gonna get for a mear 20…hmmmm I wonder…

Anywhoo, B. or Sasha Fierce, which ever will be in NY at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, June 21st, in Philly at the Wachovia on Friday, June 25, and Conneticuit at Mohegan Sun on Thursday, July 23rd. 

Im just hopin she doesn’t tumble down some stairs again….not that it wasn’t funny….

Don’t know exactly why but recently I’ve been bumping Lauryn Hill’s “The Miseducation…” and just damn…still to this day,it makes me feel good.  This album is purely classic.  I’ve lost count how many times I’ve replayed this from my walkman to my ipod.  I can’t describe the feeling good music gives you, its like your mind is free from it’s worries and problems and all you focus on is the music.  It brings about feelings, memories, & thoughts, sometimes good & bad, nevertheless it makes you feel something…

That’s what Lauryn does for me.  When I listen to the “Ex-Factor” it makes me think of a certain someone & our relationship, shit it down right describes it better that I can even do, in my writting. 

I guess I’m focusing on Lauryn because I want her back.  I try not to judge but what happened to you, Ms. Hill!?

Like a true fan, I’ve listened intently to her MTV Unplugged album and it was deep, introspective, & profound but it was on a whole other level then her original solo work.  Where’s the Lauryn from the Fugee’s “The Score”? from “That Thing” video? Where the fuck is that Lauryn?…I guess I just have to accept her for what she is, what else can I do?

But please Ms. Hill, put out another album…until then I’ll reach the far corners of my mind, while listening to your music…

So I had this assignment in my Woman Studies class, where we had to select an advertisement and analyze it.  I picked the one above for obvious reasons, it has many themes that we discuss in this class so I thought it would be a cake-walk & shit it was, until I got my paper back with a big fat-ass F on the top written in red.  I looked at it in disbelief.  Me, with an F!!??? I don’t think so, I’ve never failed anything, so even though I was tempted to start something in front of the class, I did the “grown” up thing and talked to my professor after class.

This woman (who shall remain nameless) had a mouthful to say, this bitch chewed me out.  Over what you ask.  My motherfucking opinion on the ad.  I said the ad didn’t affect me in any particular way, that I appeciated the artistic value in the piece.  This (whats another word for bitch?) said she was “appauled” by my lack of perception and ignorance.  Ignorance? Since when did my opinion qualify as ignorance?

She was soooo out of line & I let her know without cursing or disrespecting her.  She wanted me to agree with her but fuck that! I have my own thoughts & they will not be manipulated by someone who thinks they know more than me (NEWSFLASH: I could run intellectual circles around this lady any day).

….Needless to say I still have the F, but fuck it….Im leaving this bitch behind when I go to Columbia this year…take that!

I’m not fan of Kanye West, well I’m not one of his physical appearance but I mos def am a fan of his girlfriend (all though I’ve heard their relationship is simply for exposure).  Amber Rose looks lovely, even with her eyes closed and her short hair.  I’m feeling her look tho, it’s different & a little edgy, I guess that’s what she was going for.  If a naked girl can’t sells kicks, shit I don’t know wtf can.
