BET Awards 2017: Old School Owned the Night!

No need for a grand introduction. Let’s run this back: Bruno Mars opened the show the way an awards show should be opened. I never get tired of seeing him groove. He also won his first BET Award! French Montana performed a song I’ve never heard, but that’s not saying much because I usually listen… Read More BET Awards 2017: Old School Owned the Night!

What You Not Gon’ Do: Queen Sugar Keeps Getting Sweeter

S1, Ep. 103 – “Thy Will Be Done” Let me first finish dabbing my brow because Ralph Angel and his thug tendencies did a little something to me and my hormones. I can’t lie. I like a man who will give somebody the business if necessary. I’ll explain below. Let’s run this back. Shout out… Read More What You Not Gon’ Do: Queen Sugar Keeps Getting Sweeter

2016 VMAs: That Rihanna Reign Just Won’t Let Up

RiRi surprised the hell outta me and opened the show. YESSSSSS!!!! (Actually, she ended up doing four sets throughout the night. Very clever on MTV’s part. They made me watch the entire show.) Puffy decided to wear a blouse over his t-shirt. Drake won Best Hip Hop Video for “Hotline Bling.” Nicki Minaj and Ariana… Read More 2016 VMAs: That Rihanna Reign Just Won’t Let Up

2016 Billboard Music Awards: The Good, The Meh, & The WTF

Hosts: Ciara and Ludacris Let’s run this back. I read on social media that a decent amount of people didn’t like the performances or maybe the majority of the performers, but I didn’t mind MOST of them. It could be because I’m familiar with most of the artists or at least their songs because I… Read More 2016 Billboard Music Awards: The Good, The Meh, & The WTF

GRAMMYs 2016

Okay. Let me run this back. Taylor Swift opened the show. She opens every award show. I look for her to be the opening act for the BET Awards and Black Girls Rock next. Hell… Kendrick Lamar won the first award! And it looks like he shaved and got his hair freshly braided! The Weeknd… Read More GRAMMYs 2016

Celebration of Gospel 2016

Me: I’m spent. The whole show didn’t do this to me, but the Andrae Crouch tribute took me to a special place – you know – the hiding place. (If you didn’t grow up in church, many of us call Jesus’ love our hiding place. Ask a friend.) Let’s run it back. Taraji P. Henson… Read More Celebration of Gospel 2016

The Soul Train Awards SLAYED

Hosted by my Pisces sista, Erykah Badu, the 2015 Soul Train Awards did not disappoint. The show was hot. It was dope. It was everything. There was real singing. I understood what everyone was saying/singing. I stood up and danced. I threw an object at the TV. I got my life! Let’s run it back.… Read More The Soul Train Awards SLAYED

AMAs 2015

Hosted by: Jennifer “J-Lo” Lopez J-Lo opened the show singing a ballad version of Waiting for Tonight. I believe that was her way of showing the naysayers that she can sing. THEN she was like, I’ma dance. Most of the hottest music this year made me dance. And dance she did, with a group of… Read More AMAs 2015

Unsung: Nate Dogg

Last night, TVOne aired Nate Dogg’s Unsung episode. Before I run it back, let’s start this thang off right.  Okay. Nate grew up singing in church with his sister and brother in Mississippi. He’s the product of a pastor and first lady. (That explains why it always sounded like he should be leading devotions instead… Read More Unsung: Nate Dogg

Jesus, be a Hall Pass Snatcher

Somewhere, K. Michelle is shaking her head and sipping Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey with a smirk. Let’s run this briefly. Toya Wright and husband Mickey “Memphitz “ Wright apparently have an agreement. Watch here. She gives him eight days out of the year to pretend he’s single and bone whoever he pleases – no questions asked.… Read More Jesus, be a Hall Pass Snatcher
