Leave Kim K Alone

Kim Kardashian what do you think about her? Wait there is no need to respond because lately Kim has been under much scrutiny for divorcing her husband Kris Humphries. Personally I really do not understand why everyone is so pissed off just because you watch her on television on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and the spin-offs it doesn't mean you know every aspect of her life the cameras get turned off at some point.



I admit before I started watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians I didn't like Kim because of the sex tape scandal but once I got all the facts and started watching the show I realized the Kardashian clan is alright in my book. The first time I saw Kim she was hanging out with Paris Hilton clearly Paris can't all that smart because you are hanging out with a girl that is way prettier than she will ever be.



Facts and Things You Possibly Didn't Know: Before Kim was a reality television personality she worked for her late father's music company firm and eventually became a personal stylists. She met Ray J through his sister Brandy because she was Brandy's stylists. As we all know she appeared in the sex tape with her then boyfriend Ray J the tape was leaked and Kim sued the company that leaked the tape but she was awarded  a settlement for $5 million dollars. By 2007 we saw Kim her family premiere their reality show. Kim got married at the age of 19 but really couldn't enjoy that relationship this time around she got the wedding of her dreams but didn't get the guy of her dreams.




People Say She is Desperate......... I have often heard some of my peers and friends say that desperate. The last time I checked a desperate person is someone who can't attract anyone. Kim has been linked to athletes, models, and entertainers. The only man I saw her break down and cry over was Reggie Bush a real NFL star we know who he is and what he has accomplished. Kim is 31 years old so it is natural for her to want to be married and have kids. WTF is wrong with people you have to grow up at some point. Sure her sisters have their own families but Kim is at that age where a woman in her right mind wants to settle down. So I disagree.




Kris Humphires Situation... From what I saw on the television show I did not like him but Kim was truly in love and saw the good in him. I felt as though their age difference made an impact on their relationship. Not to mention the family backgrounds Kim grew up with money and Kris didn't. Let me just say opposites don't always attract at times they clash.


I actually like Kim Kardashian I mean never read or her about her dissing anybody, getting into fights, going in and out of rehab, sure she makes mistakes but she is human.  People are crazy. What has she done to you? Out of all the reality television stars on TV people gang up on her? Yes I think her ass is real take a look at her mom where do you think she gets it from. I will be going to see the Tyler Perry film she is in. My words to Kim, girl be yourself and live your life because people are fake as hell. F****k B***ches get money.

Nobody Knows What It Means........

Ball so hard muthaf****kas wanna find me
That s**t Kray

Lyrics recited from the popular Jay-Z and Kanye West song N****gas in Paris

Personally I do not use the infamous N-Word and yes I understand why Nas decided to make than album titled almost four years ago. But I cringe when I hear my African-American peers say a term that was and is still used to insult African-Americans. I admit that I am no saint because I use profane language myself. But as I was listening to the song by Hov and Kanye I wanted to do some research on what they were talking about and I found out an interesting fact.


The origin of the term "Cray" from the song is actually not a shortened form of "crazy," nor is it "cray," it's actually means  "Kray" this is a reference to the schizophrenic twins Ronald and Reginald Kray. The Kray twins who were crime lords of London in the 1950's and 1960's. The police failed to locate them on numerous occasions, which is where the line " Ball so hard, muthaf****kas wanna find me, that shit Kray comes from.

Much Love, Much Respect

[Intro]
Brother, brother (Sister sister, the way I-)
You're gonna need her (Sister sister, the way I-)
Brother, brother (Sister sister, the way I-)
You're gonna need her (Sister sister..)

[Heavy D]
This one goes out to.. (Sister sister)
All the black women in our society
who has gone through so much pain and struggle (The way I-)
Gonna let you know that..(Sister sister)
I'm thinking about you (The way I-)
and from the bottom of my heart, I love you
(Sister sister, the way I-)

Sister sister, my Nubian princess
This one's for you, 'cause I'm tired of the nonsense
Not speaking of a sister from immeadiate family
but to all the sisters with a black mentality
I've grown up watchin you struggle
While others work singles, you work doubles
If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be born
Who would sew our clothes when they were torn?
I remember trips you couldn't take
So you can buy clothes for your kids to look straight
A few ways to make a dim day bright
Use it for a crutch 'fore you limp through right
Never met a person with a pride so true
Without a strong sis, then what can a black man do?
Many are called but the chosen are few
Sister sister, I feel good about you

[Chorus]
The way I feel about you
(Sister sister, the way I-)
The way I feel about you
(Sister sister..)
The way I feel about you
(Sister sister, the way I-)
The way I feel aboooooout yooooou

[Heavy D]
I could recall those sleepless nights
Three in the morning, is my baby alright?
Can't wait to greet 'em with your sensitive touch
'Cause you know he's on the street, that society left us (Sensitive touch)
I remember when you bandaged my boo
So your sonny was a winner and hopes that he wouldn't lose
Look at your frame, your structure, pride won't puncture
Can't get enough of the way you love your family
You'd be damned if we, ever borrowed sugar for a hot cup of tea
How many tears must you cry? (Dry up)
How many prayers must be said for your kids to get by?
How many time must you fix the break and
mend the torn and befriend the lonesome?
They say being black is crazy
It's hard to be black, but it's hell to be a black lady

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
Break it down~! Sister sister
(Sister sister, the way I-)
Sister sister (...the way I-)
I love you
Sister sister
(Sister sister, the way I-)
Sister sister
(Sister sister, the way I-)
Get funky, Marley
Oh yeah...do me a favor..

[Chorus 2]
The way I feel about you
(Sister sister, sister sister)
The way I feel about you
(Sister sister, sister sister)
The way I feel about you
(Sister sister, sister sister)
The way I feel aboooooout yooooou
(Sister sister, sister sister, the way I-)

[Heavy D]
To all the mothers who's lost and mourned
To all the girls whose hearts been torn
To all the sisters who cried for a brother
I have a love for you I couldn't have for another
I'm proud to see you in your executive chair
I'm proud to know you giving us medical care
Oh what weak men we would be
without the strong black women in our society
Scrub, you cook, you clean, you know you're goin to
Not because you have to, but because you want to
Not unless you carry, but to give
You love, you cry, you laugh, you weep
You hug, it's you that I envy
'Cause when it comes to givin love, you give it good and plenty
Sister sister, respect is due
and from the bottom of my heart {*kiss*}, I feel good about you

[Chorus]

[Outro: Heavy D]
We all need to give more thought, to our sisters out there
Our future sisters, but is soon turning to parents
And give love that we've gotten
And the babies out there, the little GIRL babies
who grow up to be future sisters
And all you brothers out there
Take time to think that it's a sister you came from
And the same sister that you dissin today...
...may be the same sister you need tomorrow
Peace!

Brother, brother (Sister sister, the way I-)
You're gonna need her (Sister sister, the way I-)

The OverWeight Lover's In the House

Dwight Arrington Myers aka Heavy D was born May 24, 1967 in  Mandeville, Jamaica and raised in Mount Vernon, New York. He passed away on November 8, 2011.

Heavy D was the self-proclaimed "Overweight Lover" was a very talented rapper, record producer, singer, actor, and former leader Heavy D and the Boyz, a hip-hop group which included Glen Parrish (G-Whiz), Troy Dixon (T.Roy/Trouble), and Edward Ferrell ( Eddie F). Heavy D and the Boyz were the first act signed to Uptown Records by Andre Herrell cousin and mentor of Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Heavy D lost weight in later years of his life and leaves behind a wife and daughter. He was last seen at the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the film Tower Heist four days before his death.

Heavy D hit singles include "The OverWeight Lover's In the House," " Mr. Big Stuff," "Girlz They Love Me" " Somebody For Me," and "Sister, Sister" a personal favorite of mine because its refreshing to hear a Black Man express his love and respect for a Black Woman. Even though Heavy D made his debut in 1987 my mother played his music and I became a fan.

Rest in my peace my brother you will be missed.
