The RETURN of BET's UNCUT

BET recently dropped some big news on its viewers and that is the return of their infamous show "UNCUT". I honestly can not think about my childhood without reminiscing about the BET UNCUT days. BET uncut was considered to be forbidden territory for young people back in the day. That definitely didn't stop us from staying up late to catch the raunchy videos. The show aired from 2001-2006 and was the center of much controversy. 

The show was known for showing video's such a Nelly's "Tip Drill" and Mystikal "Shake It Fast" basically the depictions of a female derrière is the main attraction. It's reported that videos such as Nicki Minaj's Anaconda will be shown on the the new UNCUT. 

UNCUT is set to return on Tuesday 11 August 2015 at a much earlier time than in its past history. I personally think they are going to have to adjust the time and push it to after midnight. 

Many viewers are ecstatic about the return of the show 

Although there are many who are excited there are just as many who are not here for the raunchy over sexified music videos 

My question is WHY is it being brought back. What makes the show so worthy of being revived. Is there a need for UNCUT and what is gained by bringing this show back when we have the Internet at our fingertips to watch what we want. 

I'm interested in seeing the outcome of the revival and will definitely be tuning in. I'm grown now so why not watch it.. I might learn a thing or two about twerking. I seriously need to step my game up. 

What do you all think about the return of BET's UNCUT 

                          Remember to always be

Destiny's Child reunites for Michelle's New Single " Say Yes

It's always great to see the ladies of Destiny's Child reunited on the Big Screen. A few weeks ago Michelle Williams released the Say Yes single and I have been anticipating the release of her music video since originally hearing the song . I will be honest and admit that the only reason I was excited to see the video was because I felt like this song gave me that mini Destiny's Child reunion that I have been craving to see and experience.

Michelle is still strictly a Gospel singer outside of her DC3 shenanigans, while Beyonce and Kelly both switch it up from time to time. All the ladies started singing in the church, just like many black female musicians" therefore it is not strange to see Kelly and Beyonce willingly switching back to the gospel side with such ease.

I personally love how Beyonce can sing about being on her knees in a limo in her song "Partition"  and Kelly can sing about liking her "Kisses Down Low" and then they switch it up and contribute to Michelle's gospel single. Now that is what you call being diverse with your music. And before anyone brings out the negativity in this just know that Beyonce and Kelly are both married women and can technically do whatever they want along with singing about it. Also Michelle and the ladies of DC3 are business savvy individuals and know how much of a plus it would be to contribute to Michelle's newest single. It's nice to see the ladies come together and help one another out.

Say Yes has a very upbeat tempo and a catchy tune so from the beginning Michelle was winning with this song. The director of the video Michael A. Cherry was able to capture a unique perspective of the video. The visuals in the video are colorful and give off an African/Caribbean vibe. We also get a pleasant surprise of seeing Michelle do a little 2 step. The ladies sing about not having to worry about a thing and putting it all in God's hands. We typically live stressful lives on a daily basis and being able to just give it all to God/Jesus at the end of the day is our way of letting the lord have his way with was was already meant to be.

Kudos to you Michelle on the release of your new single and video I look forward to purchasing your album in September. Keep switching it up singing praises unto the creator above.

Check out the music video below



It is really great to see gospel singers step outside the box and add a little twist to their genre of music. It doesn't hurt to leave the tradition ways behind sometimes.

Kelly Rowland's "Dirty Laundry" music video

That oh so emotional song finally has a video to it, and it brought tears to my eyes

The video begins with Kelly laying in a pool of water in a sadden state.
Then it moves to her sitting in a chair singing her heart out about the pains and struggles that she endured while being in the music industry.

She sings behind a pair of shades with tears streaming down her face
She takes the glasses off and her eyes are filled with tears

AT THIS MOMENT I REALIZED WHEN YOU ARE A SINGER, especially a female singer you have to be a pretty decent actress so that you can sell your video, and Kelly does a great job at letting her emotions show through in this video.
She's at a dinner wearing a white dress with a man he gets up pissed off and the look on her face is unbearable. In the process of getting up he knocks a glass of wine over and it spills onto Kelly's dress and the look on her face screams devastation. Check out the video below and prepare to have your emotions rocked.

Fierce and Love
