Hey party people. Since today was a slow day on the plantation (thank God) I decided to spend some time digging in the youtube crates to listen to some of my favorite oldies & goodies.Now when I say "oldies" I'm only talking about the music of the 90's! And yes, while I know it's not necessarily that long ago, when compared the music nowadays it can seem like lightyears away.One of my absolute

You don't have to be West Indian or of Caribbean heritage to know the song "Hot Hot Hot"!Well, sadly enough the very talented creator of that party anthem passed away last week after a long and hard battle against cerebral cancer.This legend holds a special place in my heart, not only because of what he has done for Caribbean music as a whole but more importantly because he was my uncle.R.I.P.

Hi all!! So remember when I mentioned that alot of exciting things have been happening in my life during my time away... well the number one, by far, most exciting thing of all has to be when the love of my life Cisco proposed to me during our stay in Puerto Rico!!!!Yup! It's official!!! We are set to become Mr. & Mrs. Babb! I can't wait! Sorry fellas, he liked it so much that he put a ring on it

Guess who's Bizack!... in a Major way!

Hi loves!!!! I've missed you guys soooo much!! Did you miss me back??? I'm not sure if it's the increased work load on the plantation, bloggers' block, or my new infatuation with Stardoll (yes, Stardoll! lol) that has kept me away from you for so long but I promise that the drought ends TODAY!Life is good and although I haven't blogged in a while trust me, there has been alot going on in my life!

I'm not a big basketball fanatic to begin with, and of the little ball that I do watch Kevin Garnett is one of my favorite players. I even grew to know and love the little Rondo guy that always seems to come through when you need him most. So, yes, it's safe to say that I was rooting for the Celtics to win the series! :( But I must say last night's NBA finals game was AWESOME! While neither team

It's been 5 years since I graduated from Howard University and sadly enough it's also been 5 years since the last time I've seen my college roommate Ngozi.I clicked with this chick as soon as I met her and I've considered her a close friend ever since! Just as tumultuous as one would expect college years to be, Ngozi and I were there for each other thru many up's and down's. She was one of the

Yesterday morning as I was walking into my office building I was suprised to meet an array of Skittles colored taxi cabs lined up along Avenue of the Americas.I honestly thought that the city decided to sprouse things up for the summer season by adding new colors to the 'yellow cabs' that usually run the city streets.I just had to find out what the deal was with these new colorful rides.I found

I saw this very upsetting yet inspirational video while doing my daily rounds in the matrix and I had to share it with you guys."Renee Thompson is trying to make it as a top fashion model in New York. She's got the looks, the walk and the drive. But she’s a black model in a world where white women represent the standard of beauty. Agencies rarely hire black models. And when they do, they want

NOW THAT'S A FIVE STAR CHICK!!!

2010-05-11T14:21:00.000-07:00

We have definitely lost a living legend with the recent passing of the beautiful and talented Ms. Lena Horne.Bedstuy has to stand up for this one!This icon was born in that infamous part of Brooklyn and went on to become a trailblazer both artistically (as the first black performer to ever sign a long-term contract with a major Hollywood studio) as well as politically (refusing to sing for

Hi loves!! :-))Okay, so now that I am officially back to eating regular foods I can share with you guys that I recently completed the infamous MasterCleanse "Diet". Well, I guess it's more of a fast/cleanse than a 'diet' per say. But of course if you don't eat for an extended amount of time weight loss will be a much desired side effect.I decided that it was time to take control of my body once

Hey guys... so I just want to show my respect and take a moment to acknowledge the major loss that the Hip Hop community experienced today with the passing of Guru, of the legendary group Gang Starr. I always loved the sound of his voice. It always came across mellow and laid back yet the lyrics he delivered always shined so bright with truth & precision - Not to mention Premier's beats

One of my facebook friends (King Matthew) posted something today that caught my attention.

I for one completely understand the need to think outside of the box and bring something new to the table -- whether it be in music, fashion or blogging for that matter -- but sometimes it can be a HIT or MISS situation.It seems like ever since we went to war with (certain countries in) the Middle East we have vowed to take over their musical sound in addition to their oil, land and government

Ok so like I was saying the other day in the post about Nikki, I hate the fact that it seems like only 1 rap chick gets to shine at a time.Well I guess Luda felt the same way as he made it his business to unite some of the "badest" chicks in the game on one track.Here's the video for the "My Chick Bad" remix:I have to be honest and say that I think the ladies could have come a little harder but I

Every year when winter rolls around I hit the shops looking for brand spanking new winter coats that's fitting for the year's new trends (Yes I'm an original mixed with trendy). Sometimes there are 1 or 2 lucky ones from last year that make the grade but for the most part my closet becomes a shelter for the orphaned coats that I shove to the back never to wear again.I know that sounds super

I lost one of my closest friends recently. Nah, nah she isn't dead, she just isn't a friend of mine anymore. Remember way back in my "Agape Love" post when I said a close friend deceived me. Well, I guess it took me some months to realize that the wound she caused was too deep to heal as quickly as I would have liked it to.And this isn't just any old friend. You could say this was my best friend.

"This is It"

2009-10-29T07:24:00.001-07:00

Last night my boyfriend and I joined friends to go take in Michael Jackson's last hoorah! The movie "This Is It", which documents the preparations for his highly anticipated final world tour.I have to admit that I was initially skeptical about what I was going to see. We all know that physically MJ seemed to be a frail guy, and during the time of his recent unexpected death there were

We did the 3.2 mile trek in less than desireable weather. It was 40°F,

Chyna is so Precious!

2009-10-02T06:56:00.000-07:00

For young ladies, of my generation, there are certain books that we most definitely read growing up, some even several times over. Books like Fly Girl, The Coldest Winter Ever, B-More Careful & Push are staples in our collection. For me personally they bring back memories of my younger days and have even helped to teach me a thing or two of what not to do, and how to cope with certain obstacles

Weekend Outings: Mayweather vs. Marquez Rooftop Fight Party

2009-09-21T12:48:00.001-07:00

This Saturday was Mayweather's highly anticipated return fight since his lay off of almost 2 years from Boxing. I, like many others, already knew he would win loooong before the first punch was thrown. While I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere of the rooftop setting, the skyline and fresh air, the fight itself was a disappointment. Mayweather needs to step up the ante and fight a more challenging

Remebering

2009-09-11T12:47:00.000-07:00

Hey all! I just wanted to share some thoughts on the anniversary of one of the most horrific days in American history; Septerber 11, 2001. I have to be honest, at first I didn't really want to blog about 9/11. I actually tried to tip-toe around it for most of the day. I have the tendency to get extremely emotional and I didn't think that I was up to the tears and sorrow today. But then I thought

2009-09-09T06:48:00.001-07:00

People kill me, we vote for change and then get scarred the minute Change actually begins to happen. All I hear are Republicans... excuse me... certain people talk about how great the US healthcare system is. Why does the quality of the system even matter if everyone does not have access to receive the care they need. It's like boasting of an education system that only teaches a few. Come to
