The Only Good Thing That Came Out of the BET Awards…

Besides Ne-Yo basically owning the whole show with his MJ Tributes, Eddie Levert cursing & whatever the hell you might want to call that Baby Boy segment.

And now I get the news that one of my favorite magazines in the world has to shut down.
Cue Florida when she found out James died.

One of my favorite rappers in the world, Phonte of Little Brother went in-detail on how much Michael’s death affected him. Not by Twitter or Facebook status.
By an old school essay.

*DEAD*
UPDATE: Apparently BET decided to switch their stance and apologize for the distasteful nature of that performance. Too little, too late.

Twenty years ago, this movie was released onto the viewing public and even now it still can get somebody hot under the collar.
As hot as it is here in Houston/Missouri City, I wouldn’t be shocked if for one day, I walked to my job, wondering about my check and getting paid and then the whole day just culminated with a good friend of mine being murdered by the police and then the whole building gets shut down.
Let’s be clear, racism is still in America, regardless of where you are. Just because you have a black president doesn’t mean black folks won’t do things most thing deemed “black” by pop culture.
Even when speaking about the film, Spike Lee had this to offer, “White people still ask me, “Why did Mookie throw the trashcan through the window?”
Retorting, “Black people in twenty years have never asked me why.”

I know death has been a hot topic recently but I mean, even Billy Mays caught the Grim Reaper around the corner today. It’s just kind of crazy how you can’t take nothing for granted.
Oh, and Transformers basically killed the box-office this week from Wednesday to Sunday, pulling in $200 million in five days. The Friday sums were really low compared to Dark Knight from last year ($158 million Friday to Sunday.
BTW, I’ll be re-blogging the BET Awards diary on Tuesday (since I missed some performances and EVEN POISON FROM BELL BIV DEVOE! I wanted to do the Roger Rabbit and the Bobby Brown Dance to that so damn bad.) I mean, Jay-Z finally cut his damn hair, Don Cornelius arrived out of his hyperbolic time chamber and even though its supposed to be a tribute to Michael Jackson, the fuckery that happens to be some of our black youth just won’t EVEN let a good night come to fruition.
Speaking of Jay, the D.O.A. video drops after the awards, which will probably be the last appearence of the sham that is that nigga’s hair grown like he never met a brush/comb/beyonce’s mane stylist. And also, who in Heaven finally gave BET the rights to have HD? Is it me or was that shit a long time coming? Now you folks at home can see the fuckery with special effects. SMH.
Now I’ll sit back and wonder who the hell does Joe Jackson’s eyebrows.

For two days now since he passed, I’ve been compiling this mix, my dedication, my way of saying that I was a fan, that I appreciated everything he did in this world and that there is no denying his impact on music. So I encorporated all of what he has done and the impact he has made into four disc. I annoited him what everybody had done already: The King.

Forewarning: if you haven’t seen the movie then don’t read this post.
If you want to know what the hell the uproar is about the movie and why I even titled this post what it’s titled, then keep on reading.
Again, you have been warned.
