We Can Do Better: I Went to a Drake Concert & Lived

I'm late on this. Really late in fact. Yet, I was going through my iPhoto and I came across pictures of a date in which changed the face of my entire summer. Drake, the rapper believed to be the Messiah of hip-hop (-__-), thought it would be a nice idea to attend the Sounds Like Paper Concert at Southstreet Seaport. NOW, last year's concert was absolutely amazing. From a beautiful sunset, to weird clouds, to front row seats, and finally Kid Cudi shutting the stage down with songs from his mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi". Oh and did I forget Chester French did an excellent job with one of their first major performances? Yes.

However, this year was a complete 180. It's funny because as I write this post, I'm listening to 'Over'. Yea...the concert was over before it even started. Drake obviously has a pretty solid fanbase, coming from where he started. So, what made them think that giving a free concert for an artist that is 85% marketed to niggas, would be a successful plan? Please, I'm still waiting for an explanation. I get to Southstreet at around 5:30, meet up with some friends (I brought people with me too). I didn't think I would manage to find a nice seat/standing spot....but I have stain, so that wasn't a problem. All of a sudden, the DJ comes out, gets the crowd hyped....but keep in mind that we're dealing with black people here. Not to call out my people but honestly, that concert set us back like 300 years. Now you know, heat+black people+crowds=disaster (#simplemathematics). I kid you not, every 5 seconds, people were breaking out in fights, getting trampled, and one girl decided to have a seizure for the hell of it. About 20 minutes later, anarchy occured and I found myself running (mind you I'm wearing TOMS), for my LIFE because people tossed out all common sense. I finally found refuge in front of Ann Taylor about 15 minutes later. Yes...I survived.


Cuz them hipsters gone have to get along with them hood niggaz, that clearly did not occur Drake.

We Can Do Better: 2009 Ignorance BET Hip-Hop Awards

"And you wonder why President Bush hates black people." is what I always say. && I've never lied. I think the images speak for themselves....We can do so much better.

Busta Rhymes...your a bigger style kill then Style Killington

We Can Do Better: Candy Crack

The marketing world is taking shit to the next level. Deep in the heart of Brooklyn, local artist Nate Hill is handing out candy on the streets disguised as none other than crack cocaine. While this seems fun and exciting, how would you like to see your kid paying 1$ for vials. Who said candy wasn't addicting. I'm sorry, but that shit is scary. It's not even the fact that this dude is delivering influencing kids and grown retards, it's the fact that this guy is dressed up as a dolphin. UMM-okay. Think about this. Your 10 year old buys this, eats it and lives. 5 weeks later some other guy offers him a vial, and its legit crack. He eats and it permanently fucked. Am I the only one seeing a problem here. YES it's funny as hell, I mean thats like the BEST April Fool's joke, but...really though? You couldn't think of anything else?

Bahaha. With that being said, I'm gonna go buy some.


P.S. Am I the only one who sees something funny with this dude's arms? Oh and we can do better.

WTF: Millionare Ignorant Entertainment of Baton Rouge

WTF. Is this really what we've come to?

2 problems I have with this video, other than the fact that it is the most IGNORANT piece of media I've ever seen.

1) Even if one says that this is a joke and these are professional actors- why are they playing with professional weapons?
2) I KNOW HE DIDN'T CLAIM THIS AS HELPING THE COMMUNITY.

&& I have family in Baton Rouge.

SMH...can ignorance not be the new pandemic?

WE CAN DO SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER. Gosh.

Some people should just never talk.

Oh gosh. Amber Rose, it's bad enough that you look like a bleached alien. But you should never talk. I mean you're a cute girl and you're like the most on point person I've ever seen. But honestly, you sound awful. I mean I thought she would sound sophisticated and really haute, but no...this girl sounds like the respective video whore she is. SMH. You know the old saying "She's a butterface"...I'd like to think of her as a buttervoice (go figure).

Kanye, keep your bitch quiet, for her own good.

SMH: Pastor Prays for Obama to Die

What the eff. I mean we talk about 'Yes We DId', 'Hope is Alive', and the entire idea that America is on the road to a long over due change. But I don't find this act as anything close to keeping the dream alive. I am aware that nothing comes overnight, especially change to a country with millions of people but I did have hope that we could continue on the road to keeping the buzzwords of January-Hope & Change-alive. As I watched a nation of millions fall in love with each other, bringing the 1967 summer of love to the cold winter front January 2009, I was convinced we were on that road. As I experienced the somewhat change in the scent of Washington D.C., I was convinced we were on that road. But the excess of ignorance found in this video says that we've hit a pothole on this road to change. A pothole that might set us forth on the road back to the past presidency of President Bush and others alike. I do not want to bore you with my monologue on the ethics of American society, but I do want to conclude with the simple fact that this man, attempted to involve God. I'm actually outraged. We can do so much better as a people.

We Can Do Better: 'I Love Chicken'

I mean I love chicken too, but goddamn. This has got to be like every fatass' anthem right now. SMH on some real shit as I continue to pray for my people.

VOMIT: Lotion's Highlighter Bangs

It doesn't bother you that this girl is named after one of the best damn moisturizer's in the world? Pshh. All I can say is tough luck for this one. Not only are you having a crack child by Lil Wayne but your bangs are the colored of my annotated history notes. Speaking of children, I guess Wayne didn't lie when he said he could fuck every girl in the world...what he failed to say was that he could impregnate them too. Smh X 2.

Poor New-New.

We Can Do Better: Pacemaker Lounge, Irvington, NJ

Another daily dose of ignorance-I came across this shit tonight, but could only find a picture of it in daylight. How messed up is this. I really hope they know a pacemaker is for your heart, not for the title of a bar. Seriously...we can do so much better.

SMH

We Can Do Better: The Tiny and Toya//Tues @ 10pm

WTF has BET come up with now. As the daughter of an ex-employee, I have to say things have certainly changed for the worst. 'Tiny and Toya' goes into the lives of Toya, one of Lil Wayne's side hoes. I guess Toya is one out of many who recieves the most in child support because it has made her worthy of receiving a T.V. show along Tiny, the chick who never sang in Xscape and mother of T.I's 20 something kids. Really though?
