Rihanna "Needed Me" music video

I will keep it real and be honest. Originally I was not feeling Rihanna's ANTI album. I skimmed throughout it and thought it was alright, but after attending the Rihanna ANTI concert in Brooklyn I had a change of heart. Many of the initial songs that Rihanna performed I was not familiar with and I realized they were the songs off the ANTI album. Of course this would be the case since the tour was called ANTI. After the concert I decided to re listened to some of the songs on the ANTI album and discovered there were some pretty good songs that I was feeling such as "Sex With Me" "Kiss It Better" and "Needed Me". As you can see, I have a thing for the sexual songs. Pass all the judgment you want.


Rihanna released the music video for her song "Needed Me"


Okay so here's my 5cents on the music video. I LOVE IT, because Rihanna is in her own lane and she's doing something other female artists aren't doing and that's keeping it ALL THE WAY REAL. In this music video there is a scene Rihanna moves in slow motion with an intense stare while rocking a bob cut and wearing an African necklace. This look is a dead giveaway that she's overcome with emotion and is seriously plotting something big. Throughout the music video she walks through a strip club holding a gun and you're saying to yourself, what is the purpose of this, but then you remember that it's Rihanna who is a 28 year old black woman from Saint Michaels Parrish, Barbados who literally DOES WHAT SHE WANTS and I'm so here for it. In the end she ends up shooting some man (I'm assuming the person she says NEEDED HER " and the video ends.


Basically in Needed Me Rihanna sings about a man who wants more than SEX. Rihanna is not here for it and basically sings about how she's a heart breaker and a SAVAGE.








Check it out Below.








Let me know what you thought about the video
You can also find the lyrics below


I was good on my own, that's the way it was, that's the way it was
You was good on the low for a faded fuck, on some faded love
Shit, what the fuck you complaining for?
Feeling jaded huh?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to you
Had some fun on the run though I give it to you


But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it


You needed me
Oooh, you needed me
To feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But baby ooo, you needed me


You been rollin' around, shit I'm rollin up
Light and roll it up
Break it down like a pound, shit was never us
Shit was never us
That's the real on the real, are you serious?
How you feel, how you feel?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to ya
Had some fun on the run though, I give it to ya


But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it


You needed me
Oooh, you needed me
To feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But baby ooo, you needed me

Beyonce (APPRECIATION not APPROPRIATION ) of the Indian Culture

The musical group "ColdPlay" recently released a new video for their songs "Hymn of the Weekend". Upon hearing the title of the song I thought the song would be some sort of weekend anthem, but my assumption was nowhere near what the song really focused on. The song focuses on love and takes place in India during Holi ( festival of colours or the festival of love). Additionally ColdPlay has Beyonce contributing her amazing vocals throughout the song and that is ultimately why I watched the video in the first place. ColdPlay has previous music videos that highlights other cultures around the world and I think choosing to bring awareness to the Indian culture in "Hymn of the Weekend" was a great idea.

 

 

BUT with anything, there's always drama and hateful comments being spewed into the atmosphere. In the music video Beyonce can be seen wearing attire that many would consider to be that of Indian culture. Once this was discovered comments of "Culture Appropriation" immediately began to take over the internet. Upon hearing the comments this was the face I made.

Seriously, folks really want to come for Beyonce like the #BeyHive wont SHUT IT DOWN.













Any comments that speak negatively towards Beyonce does not sit well with me, especially when it's obvious that people are coming for her simply because of who she is and the status that she holds.

Let's take a look at this SO CALL APPROPRIATION

Here Beyonce is seen rocking Henna Art upon her hands, facial/head jewelry, and Indian clothing attire.

First let's talk about Beyonce who just so happens to be African American, Native American, and French/Creole. I am only going to focus on her African roots because AFRICA aka the motherland is the central/starting point for human life according to history and the discovery of human remains.

Henna is very popular in the Indian community. It is worn throughout many areas of the body to include the face, hands, arms, and feet. The henna plant is not only found in Southeast Asia, but  is also native to northern Africa and Australasia( a region of Oceania, which comprises of Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean). The dye from the Henna plant has been used in Africa throughout time to include during ancient Egypt as a way to dye skin and hair.

Being that Beyonce is of African Descent and Henna is apart of African culture, I say Beyonce has every right to wear Henna if she wants to. If you don't believe me see the photos below for proof.

Looks like HENNA to me

 

 

 

Boom there it goes again more HENNA

Now what was that being said about CULTURAL APPROPRIATION and Beyonce being in the wrong.

Okay next up is the facial/head jewelry she wore in the music video.

As I stated previously facial/head jewelry can also be seen being worn by many women within African cultures.

she has on head jewelry and she's rocking HENNA

The director of the music video is Indian (Ben Mor) and saw nothing wrong with Beyonce's attire. He new working with Beyonce meant that great things would come of his project. The person who played one of the most important roles in the creation of the music video was actual amazed when he saw Beyonce in the attire.

 

Majority of the time when black people wear items outside of their culture it is not done to ridicule that culture, it is done to show APPRECIATION. I think it is tough to say a black woman is appropriating another culture when much of every culture stems from Africa. The things that cracks me up the most is that this is not Beyonce's song yet she's taking the most heat. The video title does not even say featuring Beyonce, yet she's the center of attention, but hey when you are the Queen, that is expected. I am guessing the HATERS were caught off guard by her SLAYAGE.

I'll conclude with the fact that besides getting to see Beyonce give me life, I enjoyed the video and the opportunity to see Bollywood, Indian children embracing their culture, and the real streets of India. There are great attributes that stem from exploring and highlighting other cultures and I applaud ColdPlay for stepping outside the box and doing just that.


When it is all said and done, I say we take a moment to dive into the BEAUTY THAT IS BEYONCE..... just look at these gorgeous shot taken from the music video.

Personally I think that anytime anyone has the opportunity to come for Beyonce they will, and as a STAN I can not just sit by and allow that to happen.

After the discussions I have seen take place over this music video I have concluded that basically no one outside a culture can embrace or participate in it because if they choose to do so it will be consider CULTURAL APPROPRIATION and folks will be all butt hurt and in their feelings.

Guess what she's still Queen Bey and will still do whatever she wants to ....
hence her song GROWN WOMAN

"I'm a GROWN WOMAN .......I can do whatever I want"

JayZ/Beyonce and the Tidal Staff Drama

Looks like folks are talking about JayZ and Beyonce once again "what else is knew" but this time they are speaking ill of hip hops favorite couple and it's all because of this picture.

Jayz and Beyonce pictured with the staff of TIDAL

Earlier this week The Carters visited the headquarters of TIDAL in Norway. For those of y'all who does not know Tidal is JayZ's most recent business endeavor. It is is a subscription-based music streaming service that combines lossless audio and high definition music videos with curated editorial. The service has over 25 million tracks and 75,000 music videos. Currently offering no free subscription plans, Tidal claims to pay the highest percentage of royalties to music artists and songwriters within the music streaming market. Tidal was originally called Aspiro. Jay and Bey are big advocates on the artist getting paid their rightful amount for allowing a company to stream their music. JayZ recently did a private concert and rapped the following lyrics to explain his disgust with the streaming industry. 

I feel like Youtube is the biggest culprit

Them n*ggas pay you a tenth of what you supposed to get

You know n*ggas die for equal pay right?

You know when I work I ain’t your slave right?

You know I ain’t shucking and jiving and high fiving

You know this ain’t back in the days right?

But I can’t tell, how the way they killed Freddie Gray right

Shot down Mike Brown how they did Tray right?

Let them continue choking n*ggas

We gonna turn style, I ain’t your token n*gga

You know I came in this game independent right?

Tidal, my own label, same difference

Overall right now people are pissed because it looks like the Tidal Staff is all white. Everyone is asking (mainly the Black folks) where are the black employees. Personally I do not see anything wrong with this picture being that the headquarters of Tidal is located in Norway. I'm tracking that their are roughly 90,000 black people in Norway ( the number may or may not be accurate) but I personally do no think that Jay and Bey should be getting blasted for not having any Black employees. First off Tidal is not even 6 months old, the organization is still growing. Why pass judgment when the company is still being established. I hate seeing things like this and it's highly disturbing. If you are a black person complaining about the Tidal Staff my question is are you willing to move to Norway right now? Also black people are not flocking to the Technology realm as much as other races have been doing, we truly are hurting for black people in the STEM community. I wish people would think these through before they make an on the spot opinion.

Stop speaking ill and negative upon those who do not fit into your standards. The Carters have proved their loyalty over and over again to the Black Community but I've come to realize some folks you can not please.

Shout out to Jay and Bey for doing great things and let the haters keep hating.

*NEW SONG* Nicki Minaj feat Beyonce (FEELING MYSELF)

Nicki is back on the scene and is set to release her new album THE PINK PRINT on December 15, 2014. I checked out the songs on the album and saw that she had a song featuring Queen Bey and I instantly got excited.

But what else is new since I always get excited when new music with Beyonce is released even if she's only a featured artist on the track.

Check out her newest feature she did with rap phenom Nicki Minaj and yes she's still in her YONCE mode. Let me know what you think about the song ( The Good Bad and the UGLY). You all should know that I'm jamming out to it as I type this blog.

The line in the sign that stands out to me the most is when Nicki says that her YOU KNOW WHAT IS ON FLEEK * covers my mouth* I forgot that Nicki is a rap artist and can be a bit vulgar at times. Either way I'm still loving it

BEYONCE kills it when she sings

And I'm feelin' myself, jack rabbit
Feelin' myself, back off

Whacks off? Wax off
National anthem hats off
Then I curve that nigga like a bad toss
Lemme get a number 2 with some mac sauce

We Gotta Pray

WE GOTTA PRAY

Pregnancy is not keeping Alicia Keys from using her sultry voice to get her message across during a time of duress in our country. She has been very vocal online throughout the past days expressing her opinions on the injustice that occurred in Mike Brown's case.

On 3 Dec 2014 Alicia Keys released a new song entitled " We Gotta Pray" in light of the protests that are taking place nation wide. America has a serious issue and until everyone can admit that the issue is race then maybe we can move on to bigger and greater things until then all we can do is let our voices be heard and PRAY.

A. Keys girl I am loving the song, keep inspiring, empowering and motivating us. We love you.

.



Alicia Keys "We Gotta Pray" lyrics

Come on, uh-huh
You know

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

Pray for the world tonight
We gotta save, somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air, what the hell going on?
Sirens everywhere, singing that street song
Violence everywhere, barely holding on
What the hell going on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?


[Chorus]
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We're gonna make it or dying, 'till we gotta pray

Pray for the love tonight
Another day, pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky, what the hell going on?
Bullets gonna fly, fly right from the gun
Trying not to cry, barely holding on
What the hell going on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

[Chorus]
We, we're extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We're gonna make it or dying, 'till we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray,
We gotta pray


You know)
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray, pray for the world tonight
We gotta save, somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air, what the hell goin’ on?
Sirens everywhere, singin’ that street song
Violence everywhere, barely holdin’ on
What the hell goin’ on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?
We, we’re extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We’re gonna make it or dying, ’till we gotta pray
Pray for the love tonight
Another day, pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky, what the hell goin’ on?
Bullets gonna fly, fly right from the gun
Trying not to cry, barely holdin’ on
What the hell goin’ on?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?
We, we’re extraordinary people
Living an ordinary life
Growing stronger to every question
We’re gonna make it or dying, ’till we gotta pray

We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray,
We gotta pray!

NEW VIDEO *BEYONCE* 7/11

I'm filled with excitement as I type this blog. Currently I am deployed to the middle east specifically to the Kingdom of Bahrain. Everyday I wake up at 4am in order to get ready for the day and head to Physical Training formation which is held every weekday at 5am. Well this morning on Saturday 22 November * in the eastern hemisphere* I woke up at 4 out of habit, checked my phone and SCREAMED when I saw that my girl Beyonce was twerking on a balcony to to her new song 7/11.


This video is random and I love it, most of all I think a good portion of the video she recorded on her own. The video starts with Bey turning on a camera while she's on the balcony. She starts off the video dancing on the balcony and simply performing the moves to the words that she is singing about in her song while rocking a KALE sweatshirt. Bey proceeds to jump on a bed *that blue is sleeping on * #ItsOfficialBeyHasNoChill. She then proceeds to go to the rest room with her entourage/dancers/girls next the video heads the living room area where Bey does a bunch of random stuff in front of a Christmas Tree. The song is random so it would make since that the video be random and all over the place as well.

Beyonce has reached a point in her career where she can do what she want and have fun. She's about to have everyone twerking and just having fun this holiday season. #SmackItInTheAir

Checkout her new music video below.

New BEYONCE music leaked RING OFF and 7/11

Beyonce is set to released the Platinum edition of her Fifth Album BEYONCE on November 24. The album contains two new tracks and those 2 tracks have been leaked to the public. Beyonce usually likes to keep her music private until she wants to release them so I know she's not to happy about the leaks.

 I love both songs. In 7/11 Beyonce gives us Ratchet Bey aka YONCE and I love it. It actually might be too much for some people.

Ring Off is a bit more emotional. I currently have that song on repeat as I type this blog. This is the side of Beyonce that we are accustomed to and she serves and slays. Ring off sings about a woman who overcomes heartache from a man who no longer loves her therefore the RING COMES OFF. I'm more than sure this song is talking about the nasty breaking up between Matthew and Tina Knowles.
The song ends with a speech that was given by Tina which validates the speculations even more.I think its pretty dope that Beyonce has a song to celebrate her mama's triumph over heartache.


Now when the snippet of Ring Off was released on the 19th of November many people speculated that Beyonce was talking about her marriage when in fact she was not. It amazes me how quick people are to jump to conclusions on certain things and look like a complete fool.


 KUDOS QUEEN we love your new songs girl. Keep giving us great music. Check out RING OFF and 7/11 below. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Introducing Q LaSha

     I personally love highlighting events, business, and amazing people from my hometown. Today from the great MOBILE ALABAMA I give you the Fierce and Fabulous Q LaSha. Q LaSha is a local singer who recently released her debut EP album entitled THE GOOD THE BAD and THE UGLY. 




For those of you who have no idea what an EP album is I will provide you with a break down on what is considered to be an EP. An EP is an extended album that can not fully be classified as an LP due to the amount of songs on the album. EP stands for extended play and features more than just one single. Q LaSha's EP album is great and features her hit song ANGRY LOVE which is my favorite song on the album. She is a graduate of Baker High School  and really is a great person to be around.

Her EP can be heard on YOUTUBE 






or on SOUNDCLOUD

I wanted find out more about the woman behind the voice, so I took the time to ask Q Lasha a few questions about her music and her thoughts on her journey thus far. 

1) What musician  inspires you?

I have a couple of favs but I'm drawn to Anita Baker the most ....I love her grace, her voice is so captivating

2) Did you have any doubts when you decided to create an EP?  If so what were those doubts?

Honestly, no I didn't have any doubts ...bc when it's time to do something, you just dive right in & make it happen

3) What keeps you going in an industry like this one?

Purely passion ....my love for music will never die so that's what keeps me going

4) What are your goals and aspirations?

My goals are def to win at least ONE Grammy & to travel internationally touring & giving back ....I wanna perform in every continent

5) How does music make you feel?

Webster hasn't really discovered a word for it yet .....the feeling I get from music is so spiritual ......I go to another place when I sing or hear a song that I love ....it's crazy

 

Q LaSha is definitely a woman who knows where she wants to go in life. She is also a woman of many talents to include both singing and being a makeup artist. I met Q at a photoshoot back home in Mobile. I was trying to build my portfolio and get my feet wet in the modeling world after I finished up my undergraduate degree. She ended up doing my make up for majority of the shots that are currently in my portfolio check out the pictures below.

As you all can see she is truly talented in the realm of being a makeup artist and highliting ones outer beauty. Im blessed to have crossed paths with such an amazing individual. Q LaSha girl I'm hitting you up for the next photoshoot that I do at home.

Now that I have introduced you all to greatness, It would be kindly appreciated if you were to show some support.
Q LaSha is currently in the running to have her song "Angry Love" featured on the Coast2Coast Mixtape 289 which is hosted by FAITH EVANS.

In the meantime check out Q LaSha's promo video for her single " YOUR WORD"

The Gospel Challenge

Throughout my time on social media I have seen challenges come and go. Some of the challenges I have participated in and some I have chosen not to. One of the few I have participated in was the Cinnamon challenge during my collegiate days while at West Point, see the video below at the bottom of the blog. I haven't seen the Gospel Challenge until I was officially tag and challenged. Unlike other challenges before this one, I did not have to think twice about whether or not I was going to participate. I'm in the choir at church ( when I'm in town and have time to make practice). What self respecting Christian would turn down this challenge. If you can hum you can sing a simple hymn. Now if you sound like JJ Fish when you sing I suggest that you stay quiet and not participate in this challenge. Spare us and yourself from being miserable. Anyways, I debated on what Gospel song to sing. I wanted to do a song that my vocals could handle and not pick a song that was totally out of my range. One of my friends suggested I do Say Yes since it was my favorite Gospel song at the moment and so I thought to myself " WHY NOT" and thats how choosing that song came about. Check me out doing the Gospel challenge. I had a great time making the video. My vocals are not the greatest but I had fun singing praises until the lord. Are you up to the Challenge? It is your opportunity to not only participate in a fun cause but to give praise to our savior.

 






Who remembers the Cinnamon Challenge. Actually make that the Crazy Cinnamon Challenge, I got some good laughs from that challenge and actually did it myself check out the video below.

New Michael Jackson album entitled XSCAPE

The gift of music is a very beautiful thing. It is a substance that keeps on giving. One thing I always noticed is that when entertainers die specifically musicians, they never really completely die simply because we will always have their music. This up coming June 25 will mark 5 years since the passing of the King of Pop " Michael Jackson" even though he has passed on his music lives on and that includes the music we have yet to hear.

On May 13, 2014 a new album entitled XSCAPE by Michael jackson will be released. The album is available for preorder starting tomorrow April 1st at www.michaeljackson.com. This is music to the ears of all the fanatic MJ fans and the rest of the world will greatly appreciate its release. Long Live The KING. RIP Michael Jackson. #MJXSCAPE

Beyonce cries and thanks her fans *Last show* of the MCSWT* or is it

Beyonce to me is the ultimate performer. She fulfills all your needs whenever you attend one of her shows. First off you get to enjoy her beautiful voice along with the vocals of her background singers " The Mama" then there's her entourage of the #MrsCarterDancers, and lastly you have her intimacy that she displays to and with her fans. She knows that without the Beyhive there would be no Beyonce. Well I mean technically there would still be Beyonce but the hive is what gets her pumps and makes her a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Tonight March 27, 2014 Beyonce performed her very last show of the Mrs Carter Show World Tour in Lisbon, Portugal. This concluded 132 performances of greatness and excellence. Beyonce immediately posted a thank you video after the show concluded.


 

During the final show Beyonce decided to have a heart to heart with her fans and express how she was feeling at that exact moment she states,

"This has been an incredible tour, If y'all don't know tonight makes 132 show. Tonight is the last show of the #MrsCarterShow we started a year ago and I want to say this has been such a journey. For the past year, we've been through so much together, the Super Bowl, shooting the videos, all of these shows. When I first started the tour my baby wasn't even walking yet. I just want you to know that, I am so lucky. I'm giving y'all an UGLY cry. *she embraces the moment*. Thank Y'all. Thank you for allowing me to have the career I've had, and when I fall you LIFT ME UP and when I'm hungry you feed me and I just want to give you my life/light, I dedicate this song to you guys."

And then she goes into singing her song XO " Your love is bright as ever, even in the shadow, Baby kiss me, before I turn the lights out"

Y'all I'm such a hardcore fan, I definitely was just singing XO as I typed the first lines to the song.

Check out the video below of Bey having her heart to heart




 

Watching Bey cry actually made me tear up. I honestly do not like to see my favorite singer cry even if her tears were those of happiness and gratefulness.


What makes Beyonce even more down to earth is the fact that she always gives thanks to her fans. I really admire her humility. Also just like us Bey is human and at her last performance, she tripped while running/walking up some stairs during the show, yet somehow she managed to fall gracefully and get up like the queen she truly is.
Although right now it seems as if the tour is over with, I highly doubt it is, simply because Beyonce can not leave her American Beyhive fan base hanging. Mrs Carter knows she going to have tour through the USA again and give her home country fan base some new performances to her new music. Bey's guitarist from her all female band hinted that this isn't the end.

The American #Beyhive will be eagerly awaiting the news of new American Tour dates, I can't wait to sing along with Bey #IWokeUpLikeThis and #SurfBoard. I just hope she comes back through America before I deploy to the Middle East this October, or I will be extremely sad. Im thinking she might make an appearance at the #EssenceMusicFestival again this year so I'll try my luck at that event. Anyways I just want to say that I enjoyed the two times I saw Bey in 2013 on her tour and if you have the opportunity you should also see her on tour.

Beyonce 's Mrs Carter Show World Tour continues in 2014

Beyonce has definitely earned the right to be called the hardest working woman in show business. She kicked off her Mrs Carter Show World Tour this past April and has been on tour since then. 

Her tour was ending December 22 in Brooklyn, but it looks like Mrs Carter isn't ready to end her world adventures just yet. I was awaken this morning and was going through my daily ( see what's going on in the world routine and I see Beyonce has extended her tour )

Beyonce performed her 99th show on her tour in her hometown (HOUSTON) last night. The Europe Leg Round II will consists of shows in the United Kingdom ( Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, London x4,) Ireland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal  She has added an additional 15 shows to her tour bringing the tour total to 122 shows . How amazing is it to know that she has performed that many times. 

Beyonce is truly a class act and is definitely a legend in my book, You ROCK Bey.

Remember to Always Be 

Fierce and Fabulous
