What it do? I love the blog been reading it for years now. Especially love Casket Sharp and Side Eye Fever. Here’s a submission for side-eye fever. I call this side-eye “Nigga why you takin’ my pic in the middle of a warzone?”

I’m watching the Democratic National Convention. Are you?

Moving along, Kirk Franklin had a nice little chat with Teddy Penherazzdown about turning Franklin’s 1993 gospel hit “Silver and Gold” into a song about getting his drank on.

“You’ll be hanging, swanging, drinking two types of Patrón,” he sings. “I done mixed up silver and gold/ I done mixed up silver and gold/ I’mma tryin’ to get drunk before this party/ Somebody’s gonna have to carry me home/ I done drank the silver and gold.”

While Pain’s following ate it up, non-secular-music kingpin Kirk Franklin had to put a call into the young singer. Franklin debuted the original “Silver and Gold” on his 1993 Kirk Franklin and the Family album. The gospel version goes: “Silver and gold/ Silver and gold/ I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold/ No fame or fortune/ Nor riches untold/ I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold.”

Crunkster DOC brought it to my attention earlier this week that Lil Wayne’s hit song “Lollipop” is supposedly going to appear on the new Kidz Bop album. I went on a search for the full song and came across the above clip of a radio show discussing the track appearing on the cd. The song starts at 57 second mark. Your thoughts?

After taking a minute to let the lyrics marinate ["Lady lumps!"] I’m going to have to rule this joint as being fake, although the fuckery associated with this is off the Richter Scale.

Real or fake I still blame the adults. First the dad on Tyra’s talk show waxes his daughter’s snatch now this. I don’t know about you but I will be damn if I have my god son running around singing that shit on my watch.

We are such a confident people! Cuzzo is killing the competition at the buffet table with his fresh 1994 “Baby” braids! All he needs now is a pair of ski goggles and a goose down jacket. Judging by the smile spread across his woman’s face [who  by the way looks like a chunkalicious Ashlee Simpson] she approves.

Be kind to your familia. Thanks Netta Boo!

I see you over there trying to get a sneak peak at Aretha’s tanqueray area! I bet she is hiding a plate of short ribs in her bag but you ain’t hear that from me.

ReRe The Body and her boo Catfish Wilkerson hit up the third day of the US Open on Wendesday looking fresh dressed like a million bucks. The couple kicked it with tennis legend Billie Jean King and actor Kelsey Grammar during their time at the stadium.

The wig crypt was on high alert yesterday when an interview gone sour between Solange and a Las Vegas news reporters was widely circulated on these here internets. The Creole Code of Conduct clearly states that “Thou shall not embarrass their birth right by making fools of themselves during interviews with the media.”

Solo was ordered to apologize for her snappy behavior but not before she placed the blame on other momofukas. It’s okay girl, we forgive you!

SoL-Angel and the Martin Luther King Blvd. Nightmares is in stores now! Peep a video of Beyonce and Mama Tina on The Early Show under the cut.

Mike Tyson strutted awkwardly down the runway with designer Christian Audigier at his ‘When I Move You Move’ trade show on Wednesday in Las Vegas.

I think Mike is giving her YT sponsor a side-eye in the first picture but that may just be a little wonk action. Either way I blame Robin Givens for putting a root on that boy with her pussy. I see a VH1 reality show in his future.

Lisa Ling: You definitely seem evolved in your level of security.
Jada Pinkett Smith: Well, you know, when you’re dealing with actresses, and just people in this industry as a whole, we’re constantly inundated with rejection, people telling us what we’re doing wrong. You start to second-guess yourself.

Lisa Ling:What are your biggest insecurities?
Jada Pinkett Smith: Oh, my body. I hate my legs. Hate ’em.

Lisa Ling:You’re kidding. You’ve got great legs.
Jada Pinkett Smith: But that’s the thing, you need other women around you to be a mirror, because sometimes we can’t see ourselves. We’ve been given a certain language, situations that basically form who we are— and the media, which is a whole other thing…. As women we look for this thing and that thing; we fill those voids with men, or with food, sugar, whatever, instead of really dealing with the core issues, the issues we don’t want to look at. But that’s the jewel. That’s where happiness lies.

Lisa Ling: As an actress and a public person, how much responsibility do you feel?
Jada Pinkett Smith: I feel every individual, and every artist, has to figure out their own responsibility level. For me, when it comes to women, I am extremely sensitive to the roles I take and how I’m portrayed physically.I try really hard to stay away from stereotypes.
