A letter…to Beyonce, PT.1

Dearest Beyonce,

It is 5:46am as I type this.  My brain isn’t even fully operating at this stage; I’m still 75% alseep…well maybe 76%.  So, why are you up Kiyo Ray?  Well…after all the hype and build up surrounding the your video premiere, my tv was glued to MTV from…5:30pm…till midnight.  This is a HUGE deal for me, because I hardly watch actual TELEVSION & this was the first time I’d turned on my tv all day.  FINALLY, realizing either I missed it some how or I’ve been bamboozled, I gave up and retired to bed.  DREAMS!!!!! YOU HEAR ME, DREAMS PLAGUED me of the video’s countless possibilities for execution!  I sleep very rough…  My spirit says “GET UP!  That video HAS TO BE released or leaked by now!  It’s 12hrs later.”  Nothing.  I’ve become SO aside myself, I start searching for answers, but none of the official sites or blogger homies have any new information as to what’s happened!  How MTV, yourself, Lady Gaga, Sony OR HELL SOLANGE NOT going to release a statement after all that promoting?  I’m still not over that THERE WAS ACTUALLY A COUNTDOWN CLOCK somewhere you could’ve downloaded!  What for!?  To watch DISASTER DATE!!??

Then I come across Concertloop, who says the video has be postponed to a future date in Nov.  Then, they go on remind us that your camp has decided to RERELEAS I Am…Sasha Fierce, supposedly an even MORE deluxe album (so this now make album #3), but IT ONLY HAS TWO NEW TRACKS!!!!!!  ANDDDDDDDD ONE HAS LLLLLLLLLLONG BEEN LEAKED!!!!!!! (POISION…CLICK TO DOWNLOAD FOR FREE, opps! you made it, oh well)  THENNNNNNNNN to make matters even MORE shady, choosing THE SAME DAY TO RERELEASE THAT LADY GAGA IS TO DO HER RERELEASE (Nov 23)!!!!  You think we can NOT see what’s going on!?  ARE YOU THREATENED BY THE HAUSE OF GAGA!?  As much as I love you Beyonce, LAWD KNOWSSSSS I LOVE MY BEY, I can’t support on this treatment to us loyal fans.  They say NOTHING LAST FOREVER and people always tell me she’ll HAVE TO come down eventually, and ‘sadly enough, now I realize what the death of your career will be; this management and marketing tactic.  They overexpose you, not to showcase all your talent, but to cash in with greed.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  Besides, it’s a recession!  YES IT’S STILL GOING.  And while I personally have not been effected by such, I STILL carry myself accordingly.  May I suggest others do the same.  THIS IS JUST GREEDY AND TACKY. 

THE MOMENT I heard you called on Lady Gaga to deliver a verse for Video Phone, instantly I could see through the plot.  Let’s face it, LADY GAGA IS THE ISH!  She magically appeared from Planet ISH and conquered all!  OF COURSE YOU’D WANT A LITTLE BIT OR YOUR SHINE BACK SHE STOLE!  Before Lady Gaga gets TOOOOO huge and leaves what appears to be your lack of originality behind in the dust with this raw talent she possess, you want to get in on the ground floor.  Bey, this method has always been your thing.  Get someone while they hot, before they SIMMER OFF and use them, mimic their style, study the master like a patient apprentice AND THEN stab the master in the back with their OWN teachings and then move on to the next threat.  IS THIS THE KNOWLES WAY!?  Why I say that?  Go back and watch Solange’s FIRST video from the 2nd album “I Decided”.  Notice all those green screen effects from Melina?  Now look at her SECOND video release, “Sandcastle Disco”…SAME EFFECTS BUT hmmmmm  this says…DIRECTED BY SOLANGE!  I’m done.  I can so just see Solange coming around when Melina was editing “I Decided” sitting in the background like “oh don’t mind me, I’m just watching anxiously”  and taking notes on her laptop so she wouldn’t have to pay Melina again! 

Seeing you are a true lady, and out of respect, I have removed all swearing from this letter, but I’m very disgusted.  Bey, I’m begging you to get your camp on the ball because baby they slipping on your career and longevity in a MAJOR way baby.  Love you still, muah.

ATL BGP

I didn’t participate in this year’s Labor Day festivals in Atlanta…for the most part…BUT there was plenty of excellent footage captured by some of my favorite bloggers.  I love these guys, I really do.

Drama Dupree gives us commentary on his adventures and photos to go with it.  I. LIVE. for his laugh and vocabulary, but I must hand the Emmy to DD for bringing me INTO Pride; I felt I was there. 

I have no idea where this video came from but…yes those are men and yes they slayed.  Goodness…thanks to Drama Dupree yet again from bring this all to my attention.

My lovely friend over at 3LWTV never disappoints.  Watching the video just…completes the Piedmont Sunday activities.  Love the editing.

More to come as it unfolds…

Did you watch Ellen yesterday?

Yeah…yeah…oh, these are the pictures in that spark the fire…(courtesy of Darien of LOLDarien)

Picture_1

Darien has no problem with the earrings being promoted but thanks the topless shot it tacky.  I feel polar opposite.  For one, Sheree’s earrings are as tacky and classless as she is  This hood chick throws a big SHE on some bamboo gold earrings and I’m just not feeling it around the way girl.  Also, why is Sheree giving me…ninja?  Yeah, I prefer Kim’s shot.  I think the braless shot gives the photo a little more edge, it’s very tastefully done, and it’ll stir a little controversy.  Let’s be real, sex sells and she’s serving it up for the kids.  I love it.  And her earrings.  Surely Sheree didn’t make her’s too.

Oscar worthy

Added to my playlist…

So I stated before that I would stop auto-streaming music, but I hope that doesn’t stop you from stepping into my world and enjoying some of the sounds that are giving me LIFE…here’s one…

Solange – Calendar  (click to download mp3)

This song was not released on Solange’s SolAngel & the Hadley Street Dreams project, but it quickly became a fav or mine.  The lyrics, my GOD the lyrics.  Solange has yet again proven that she is a force to be reckoned with when it comes down to laying down fierce writing.  love it solange.

What’s left?

So have you heard they’re bringing BACK Sex And The City in a followup sequel to the movie?  I love the show, and I loved the first movie because it was a huge event here in Atlanta (all the ladies came to the Atlantic Station on opening night just STUNTING! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!) but…are they messing with too much of a good thing?  I mean what’s left?…Guess we’ll have to wait and see…
