Vibe stealing ideas from an underground magazine?
Media Chin-Check

RWD, the UK's underground hip-hop magazine is wondering if Vibe stole their cover photo idea. Judge for yourself:



RWD stops short of accusing Vibe, but asks the question:

"Did they like our January cover so much, that the ideas team at Vibe decided to steal it? Or was it just a coincidence that they shot 50 Cent as Tony Montana on the cover of their April issue, only a few weeks after RWD’s editor Matt Mason went to meet them and showed them what we did with Kano, in a bid to try and (unsuccessfully) convince them they needed to come to the UK and write about grime?"

I hope Vibe responds, though I doubt they care what any small mag thinks about them.


Just a few pics that I'm passing on...

Put Her In A Matrix...


MARCH 8--Two weeks after Pennsylvania prosecutors declined to file criminal sexual assault charges against him, Bill Cosby was sued today by the woman who leveled those accusations against the 67-year-old comedian. In the below lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, the woman, Andrea Constand, alleges that Cosby drugged and molested her in January 2004 at the performer's Cheltenham home. Constand, who met Cosby in late-2002 when she worked at Temple University, contends that she agreed to go to the comedian's home after he called to say he "wanted to offer her assistance in her pursuit of a different career." The woman claims that when she told Cosby that she was "feeling stressed" about career decisions, he offered her three blue bills, which he described as herbal medication and said would relax her. Instead, the woman claims, the pills left her "barely conscious" with her limbs feeling immobile. It was then, Constand alleges in her complaint, that Cosby--whom she considered a mentor--laid her down on a sofa and proceeded to sexually assault her. She awoke hours later to discover her clothes and undergarments in disarray and, she claims, was greeted by a bathrobe-clad Cosby. The woman did not report the alleged attack to police for nearly a year, which was likely a major factor in the decision by Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor not to file charges against Cosby. Constand's lawsuit charges Cosby with battery, assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeks a minimum of $150,000 in damages for each of the complaint's five counts. (TSG)

I can just imagine the conversation...Like a scene from the Matrix or something...Billy boy got straight Morpheus on her...

...This is your last chance.
After this there's no turning back.

You take the red pill.
The story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You take the blue pill.
You stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes...




*Shaking Head*

HOW DO YOU CHEAT ON CAMILLE? ITS CAMILLE! She is sweet as pie...Look at her...

Just to trick some trick...Last time I talked about this I got worked up...Let leave the subject...

Well before I get out of here let me drop a little something on you...

Joelle Washington, 20, could barely speak about the friend she's known since kindergarten.

"I just hope they find all of him so he can rest in peace," she said sadly.



What if Rashawn Brazell...What if...


What if he was Richard Braswell...

Would it be on Oprah and CNN? Or maybe would it be solved?

If you don't know what I'm talking about check out Bro. Larry D. Lyons II piece and pass the word...

1 Week...5 Days...& 4 Minutes...

Sorry for the delay...Been really busy...Had a lot on my plate these last couple of weeks...I've been playing kiss up to grad school people so somebody will let me act up in their program...Also had to take the GRE again...Didn't do that well this time either...Did I say last time how I hate standardized test...I mean what do they confirm? That you can take a test...BIG FREAKIN DEAL! How does this sound to you..."You have a wonderful resume...Your grades in undergrad were very good too...Your statement of purpose was one of the best we've heard in a long time...But your GRE score is not the best...We can't except you into our program cause your GRE score doesn't fit what we are looking for..." So basically what you are telling me is that I got 3 out of 4...BUT you are gonna put me on the back shelf because of a test that has nothing to do with my academic performance?

*Shaking Head*

But I'm not gonna worry about it cause somebody out their wants me...Man that felt good to get that off my chest...I over it now...But that was what pulled me away from ya'll...And just being plain old lazy...My bad...Will not let it happen again...But ya'll didn't come to hear about this type of stuff...Ya'll came for the mess we called "THROUGH MY EYES"...Anyway...


Well I went to go see it that day after it came out...I just want to say I haven't laugh that hard in a long time...I needed that one...But I thought it was a great movie...I mean I'm not talking about it was Oscar Award winning or anything...But it will win a Pookie...A lot of critiques talked terrible about it, but in the hood it got rave revues...But what I remember the most about my night at cinema with the 1st Lady (lil shot-out) was feeling like we were so under-dressed...I mean you saw women coming to the movies dressed like this sistah right here...

Straight from the Regional COGIC Convention...I mean dang...Its the movie...Black folks in their dressed in suits, gators, and stuff like they were going to the play or something...I thought it was a trip...But it took a nigga like me to point that out...Did that happen to you in your DOAMBW experience?

Change Subject...

Okay my break light is out on my car...Some dude scared the living hell out of me by rolling up on my car in the middle of the ran to tell me that bit of information...It wasn't the fact that it was raining and it was some random dude that scared me...It was the fact that he looked just like this dude...

Now you know I have to hook you up with the visual...I mean straight red neck...Flag waving in the back and everything...Wouldn’t you be petrified?

Have you figured out yet that I see all the weird stuff...For instance...I saw a white lady in about her 50s with a G-Unit baby-t on the other day...Maybe this stuff only happens in Memphis...I don't know...

Well I got to go...I gotta act like I'm doing something productive...I hope you all have a great day...
