What really happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna

I was going to stay away from this whole OVER RATED DRAMA. I don't know him and I don't know her. Above that. I wasn't there and 98.9% of the people who are spreading rumors and poppin shit wasn't there. And will most likely look real dumb when the fog clears and the truth comes out. Its not my business. I in no way promote abuse of any kind. But I don't support believing rumors and assuming either. That's between Chris RahRah and the POPO. It has nothing. I repeat nothing... I repeat NOTHING!!! To do with the kid. I'm honestly pissed the fuck off that everyone has convicted Chris and he hasn't even been honestly charged or stepped foot in a court. But is already found guilty. Yeah innocent until proven guilty my ass. Anywho.To the point. My homeboy Will just so happen to be there when this whole drama went down. And he youtubed about it. So here it is. A eye wittiness account of what happen. After this I wont talk about it. I wont reply to blogs that talk about it. I for damn sure not supporting any of those photo shopped flicks poppin up everywhere. This shit has really gotten out of control. Honestly. Women are beaten everywhere & everyday. Where the fuck are the people to rally behind them? But its funny that people out here are act n like they never seen thin line.....

Believe 1/2 of what you see and none of what you heard.

Flashback Friday's

I can't fuss about a problem (As I have on many a blog day). And not do anything about it. So I will not only educate the kiddies with the real music of the past. But also Just post ish I want to listen to while I'm @ work. lol. So enjoy.

Journee' On Am. Best Dance Crew

OK I love this show . I really do. I will be the 1st to tell you that a chick can't do not naaa damn dance on that show. Don't ask. I'm not even going to try. But I have to give love to alllllll the crews on that show. They come rep-n. I would like for a "brown" crew to win or make it to the top two. But hay it is what it is. Beat Freaks is about to take it. But to my main point. The worse part of this damn show is LiL fucking Mama! I wish she would sat (yes sat) her old ass down. I don't know why this old chick is trying to scream she's a teen. Knowing good and damn well she's 36! {Maybe not 36 but that chick hasn't seen her teen years in many moons set back. If she's a teen i'm a f-n pre-teen.} And what's even more important where is her stylist? Who is her stylist I think they ass should be BLACK BALLED! If she is in need for one I will set up a foundation. Something. From the look of things chick don't even have friends. Friends don't let friends go out like this.


And watching ABDC shit just get worse! She needs help people. She's just lost. Like the old person in the club trying to look young. YEP. All out wrong.

****Damn my team just got knocked off! I loved those guys. Strikers All-Stars****

The NY Post is WRONG! Take a Stand!

Dear Friend,
Yesterday, the day after President Obama signed his stimulus bill into law, the NY Post ran a cartoon depicting the bill's "author" as a dead monkey, covered in blood after being shot by police. You can see the image by clicking on the link below.

In the face of intense criticism, the Post's editor is standing by the cartoon, claiming that it's not about Obama, has no racial undertones, and that it was simply referencing a recent incident when police shot a pet chimpanzee. But it's impossible to believe that any newspaper editor could be ignorant enough to not understand how this cartoon evokes a history of racist symbolism, or how frightening this image feels at a time when death threats against President Obama have been on the rise.

Please join me and other ColorOfChange.org members in demanding that the Post apologize publicly and fire the editor who allowed this cartoon to go to print:

http://www.colorofchange.org/nypost/?id=2169-813266

The Post would have us believe that the cartoon is not about Obama. But on the page just before the cartoon appears, there's a big picture of Obama signing the stimulus bill. A reader paging through the Post would see Obama putting pen to paper, then turn the page to see this violent cartoon. The imagery is chilling.

There is a clear history in our country of racist symbolism that depicts Black people as apes or monkeys, and it came up multiple times during the presidential campaign.

We're also in a time of increased race-based violence. In the months following President Obama's election there has been a nationwide surge in hate crimes ranging from vandalism to assaults to arson on Black churches. There has been an unprecedented number of threats against President Obama since he was elected, with hate-based groups fantasizing about the killing of the president. Just a week ago, a man drove from Louisiana to the Capitol with a rifle, telling the police who stopped him that he had a "delivery" for the president.

There is no excuse for the Post to have allowed this cartoon to be printed, and even less for Editor Col Allan's outright dismissal of Black concerns.

But let's be clear who's behind the Post: Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch, the Post's owner, is the man behind FOX News Channel. FOX has continually attacked and denigrated Black people, politicians, institutions at every opportunity, and ColorOfChange has run several campaigns to make clear how FOX poisons public debate.

I don't expect much from Murdoch. However, with enough public pressure, we can set the stage for advertisers and subscribers to think long and hard before patronizing outlets like the Post that refuse to be held accountable.

You can help, by making clear that the Post's behavior is unacceptable, and by asking your friends and family to do the same. Please join me:

Thanks.

Do The "STANKY LEG" I THINK NOT!

I am officially done....! Do the bloody Stanky Leg..... Now can anyone out there tell me....

Why

Would I want to do a dance that states something on my body stank. Who thinks of shit like this? I don't even look at this as being creative. I see this as some lazy ass thinking. What happen? A chick walked by who leg's may not have been the freshest... And what you make a dance up about it. Now how is that helping this young lady? I tell you its not. Her leg is still going to stank. And on top of her mursty ass leg you going to be looking dumb doing this dance. Supporting her FUNK! I refuse to support such foolishness. And how the hell he get close enough to her leg to know it stank. Further more. How can one's leg stank? Maybe its another body part.
Will there be a dance next week talking about?

Do the funky ass.
Shake your moldy cooch....
Bounce dem mursty ballz.

I just don't understand where this foolishness is coming from. Please help me to understand.

Ozy Reigns TONIGHT.

I will do a proper intro of Mr. Ozy Reigns *Next Week* But in the mean time if you want to see him do his thing & your in ATL make sure your @ The Apache Cafe TONIGHT!

APB For Miss. Hill

I am in 911 need of a Lauryn Hill CD!!!! {This is not a drill, prank call, or test. We are on a code Green..... I repeat this is not a drill.} I have purchased at lest 13 Photobucket" border="0"> CD's since it dropped! Which is a pure CLASSIC! Who would have thought in my day and time. A classic work of art would have been made! But she did it. I don't buy cd's (ask anyone who know me) But I will re-buy this cd as long as its in print. But I need MORE. Yes I am greedy. One just wasn't enough. What the hell happen to R&B music? It's like people are afraid to really sing. OK drop that.... They are scary to SANG! (Yeah I wrote it how I want it read!) Afraid to cut their face up and make that note float! ( I do give Honorable mention to Trey Songz, Jay Holiday, and Jahiem) But ladies I must say we are slacking right now. {Jill your I need you blog is coming same for Erykah.... Hmmmm Last CD we need to talk about it....} But right now right at this moment. I'm needing a Lauryn Hill CD badly. I'm feenin for one like my mom be on Prince. The singers out right now just don't make tracks like What you know about Ex-Factor? I need for the greats of my time to come back out its not too late. We have to school the kids about real R&B and let them know T-Pain aint singing (It's Auto Tune). PEOPLE wake up! (Sure its catchy.... But really he hasn't tooted not one note) I need Lauryn Hill to come and be the R&B Super Women. & I'm talking about this L-Boogie Photobucket" border="0"> Now I'm all about personal creativity, and breaking the mold. But I'm not talking about the bag lady L. Photobucket" border="0"> I mean do what you do.

(Unless your a grown ass man. Or teen for that matter wearing Skinny Jeans! That shits just WroNG.... {Journee' steps off her soap box. Before she starts preaching....})

I put no stock in the media and their crazy lady rampages. I think hell if you have 5 kids you have the right to go crazy every now and then. So get off her tit's so she can mellow out, go back to the Lauryn Hill i need and get back to making the hits. I know i'm not alone on my fight to get Lauryn Hill to come back .

Talib feels my pain. I guess I'm just going to put on the miseducation and be thankful for that. And just hope.... Photobucket" border="0">



{And no I'm not leaving out or hating on Mary J. But she all in love and happy right now. [congrad's on that.] But Imma need a My Life track lol. She dancing right now lol. I need a mellow groove.}

Random Moment In The Life Of Journee'!

OK something hella random just happen. & it caught me all off guard! I was cooling with my best friend who I will now and forever more refer to as "ICE". She has a little girl (My god daughter will be four at the start of March.) & I was over there playing with my G.D. and she told me "You not grown" I said yes I am, She said "No you NOT!!! You don't have any kids ! So you not grown!" OK I know in this day and age I should be on at lest my 2nd rug rat. But damnit I'm not even 30 yet. When did your late 20's become old? I know in the old days I would be someones great granny right now. But that just kind of hit me below the waist. All due respect to everyone with kids. But hell I'm still traveling and act-n a fool out here. lol I can't be held down on a children level. I'm going to push one out around 30 something. But right now woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow kids are wilding. I'm between 25-30 that shit aint old. Bah Humbug! Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Why Journee' Don't Club!

Sooooooooooooo as many people seem to do in their late teens early 20's I partied hard. But now I am under going "Burn Out"! Or just at the age where clubs don't benefit me unless I'm having a event. So on the norm. I should go to the club pay $10 (or more) to shake my ass! & let some stranger put his thang on my hip

(HAAAAA Love that "Dream" song.)

get a hard on for free off me. Really In real life. I can't see it happening. And I'm at a odd age too where really people are either way too young or waaaay too old. Its crazy. You can find me at the poetry spot or the bar. Its not like music is music no more. You not going to find your girl Super man-ing it and screaming YULLLLLLL.... Back in my day we had the Tootsie Roll and the gun dance lol. Things you didn't have to do so much jumping around with. You aint have to take a dance class to get them down. Then ask a 5 year old to slow that down and show you how to do it again. But I guess the major thing that just turned me off of the club would be things like this.......



Now lets think about this.... If I see a fine kat at the club. I would rather see a man getting down like dancer number one in the get me bodied video... (Her lead dancer where that club @ because a chick like me is in there!)
!) I don't want no corn ball coming at me like that "SupaStar" bullshit... Really they think they "Supa Stars" {I have a blank face}.... This is as my homeboy B said "dumbfuckery"! Corn balls are ruining the world! Or maybe i'm just getting old... I'm going to go with the 1st thought. Yes Corn balls are fucking up the world. This better not catch on. Because this will make me give up my music career and become motivational speaker.... And tour High School's around the U.S. and tell them to stop being followers.... I would love to learn the kids.

(Much love to my graphic Designer C.T. Williams who put me on to this clip. He knows I'm a cheerleader for foolishness. But this may be a wee bit too much even for me.... ---->

"What do u think about this sh*t? This type of stuff makes me question our future. lol

DALLAS! ......WTF..... " CT Williams)

I Bust The Windows Out Your Car......

Seeing that I woke up this a.m. and saw that the kat that lives in the condo across from me had just freshly gotten his windows busted. I thought it was time to relive this blog. From my early blog days.... {One more time for the cheap seats in the back!}

LAWD... Grown women let me holla @ You ... And this message is focused towards the 25 and up... Women and hell some males w bitch Tendencies (HAAAAAAAAY)... But if the 24 and under crowd can take something from what I'm about to say... Well.. That's a plus. So what brings these thoughts to the fore front after so many years.... (Because busting the windows out someone's car is so high school... )

JASMINE SULLIVAN

on her single Bust Your Windows Out Your Car.... And for those of you who are still in the dark... peep the linkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZEz8by2XxI

OK.... Ladies 1st Please don't let this track get you in trouble. Or empower you in anyway! Please just don't. I personally have never busted the windows out of anyone's car. Mainly because I'm more creative then that. I mean... If you are trying to pay someone back. Don't do something so childish and over all dumb. If you are "that" hurt put some thought into it. If he has insurance the car will be fixed in a matter of hours. And hell.... if you have a snitch type man on your team your ass will be locked up before the sealing drys on the windows you bust. And that leaves you what hurt, scared and locked up. Or facing charges. Then you have to pay and look for effective Legal Representation! (That has the power to keep your record clean...) Which will cost you more then he spent to get his windows fixed. I will be the first to tell you math was FAR from my strong subject. But those numbers just don't add up!

Now over all what did that prove....?

If he cheated did that stop him from cheating? Doubtful!
If he left you for whatever reason... Did that get him back??? Hell is that going to make him want you back?

Nothings Changed... The point is... A man isn't going to do any more then what you allow him to do to you. Period. (Not comma) If you want to pay him back for hurting you, be smart about it. Holla @ ya girl if you need some tricks and tips. I have dished out my share of pay back. *Trust* I still have minds twisted. From the things i've done (I was so naughty....). And no one got hurt (Nothing a few Tylenol's wouldn't cure). LoL The same go for keying cars and slashing tires. I've had a guy slash my tires. All four of them And its like really.... In real life... To this day I look @ him as a pussy ass bitch for that. It proved nothing but he was a pussy ass bitch... Did it fix our problems no... Just started a mini war.

It's dumb as hell......

(& this isn't coming from a bitter space.... This is a place of truth. Now why he got that mad... blog for another day. Men I tell you.)

So all I'm saying is think before you go this route. Busted windows leave you nothing but BUSTED... And if you get cut up because of this... man you going to look like a real dumb ass... I'm not messing up my sexy for no one! Flying glass & my face don't mix! If you need some tips on how to get some good pay back holla @ your girl. I'm creative! But busting the windows out your car. Come on....

Moral of the story is... Busted windows leave you nothing but BUSTED....

My Adventure With Ike Turnah

Being in this rap game. You meet all types of people. Most I would say not to trust. But I’ve been lucky enough to find not only some of the best MC’s the game has slept on. But some really good friends.
One of those friends happens to be ike turnah . Now those who have been on the Charlotte rap scene for a while knows…. I couldn’t STAND this man in the beginning. It just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover. Hell if I had… I would have missed a great read lol. Ike’s like the invisible man. From the cover you don’t know what the hell is about to go on. And you may think its just going to be a boring story. But once you open the pages. You get a pure classic lol. That’s Ike a classic.
He is honestly one of those people, where you either like him or hate him. So against the grain. And unique he is. Lol. Truly out of the box. And if your lucky enough to get to travel with him in his inner circle. Trust you will never know where your night ends. (You may think you have a variety of friends. But trust you don’t. Ike has the united Nation group of friends. LOL.)
I happen to be one of those friends who gets to hang with him from time to time. And I really have to be prepared for anything. Last night we get up @ the normal hang out. For a few drinks and the catch up. Now how in the hell did we end up at a folk Band Show is beyond me . But I learned something last night. “you can get to hell, without a spoon or a shovel.” (Yes I listen to the words!)
Left there went to this “Dog Bar”! I find it horrible that people really drink in a place there dogs shit on the floor. It smelled like ass there. I walked in and walked out. I can’t handle that level of foolishness. Hell neither did he. Lol.
The NODA adventure was cool. Even though Ike was going to let me get kidnapped by these older men. I still had fun. We swing back to the hang out spot. I love that deli they have the best candy. Yes I have a weakness for penny candy and soda pop . And its always good to meet new folks. & find organic drinks. I don’t know what was in that black berry soda… BANGING. Last stop was back to the original chill spot.
Like I said with Ike you never know where you will end up. But you are going to have fun.

EJ.



He is going to be featured on DJ Jamad's Sirius Radio Feb 22,2009 40/XM 67 Hip Hop Nation from 12-2am.

Journee' & The Crackhead named Romeo!

Yeah you read right.... Me and the crackhead.



OK If you can't tell by now. Random odd things just happen to me. Its always been that way. (That's why I got the mini cam now. Because some people think I make some of this stuff up. Trust I'm not this creative! Its just the world the way I know and see it.)

And after spending the afternoon with one of my good friends. I road by this street that reminded me of, me and this crack head I met.

BACKGROUND....
*I can't just tell you how I got there without telling you why! Don't want you to be lost*

So after five years in college (Yes 5!) I've had more then my share of roommates. But I only still hang with one (I will fill you in about the other roommates later. Just let me know when you have some time and a lot to drink lol)! Anywho she moved to my home town of Charlotte NC a few years ago. So she still don't really know the ends and outs. So when one of our Aggie buddies came down wanting to party. We decided to meet up and hit this new spot. Now why in all bloody hell did she pick the Bo J's on the hoodest part of town is beyond me.
So before even thinking about agree-ing to make this the meeting spot! I tell her... It's crack head CENTRAL over there. I mean if I meet you over there you better be on time. None of this C.P. time!!!!!! (Out of all my friends I seem to be the only one with a concept of time. But I love them still) So I get to the Bo J's lot I'm sitting there. Was she on time HELL TO THE NAW! So I take a look around and see crack heads crack heads..... But I know the deal. I went to high school on the west side. You learn how to handle such folk. So I went into "Crack Head Avoidance Mode"

Step One: Do NOT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TURN THE CAR OFF!!! Do not put the car in park!
Step Two: Do not make eye contact.
Step Three: Do not have a polite look on your face.
Step Four: Keep all windows up and doors locked!

(please print off those rules and leave them in your wallet or purse! They may come in handy one day I'm trying to learn you lol) So I see this crack head on the right side of me.I turn my music UP! & Look straight ahead. (Play no games.) But this wasn't your everyday crack head. This fool comes and rides right in front of my truck! EYE LEVEL.... (O I forgot to tell you guys he was on a 10 speed) It was no avoiding this man. everywhere I turned my head he pushed his bike to that side. To the point where he was semi-circling the car. Telling me to roll down my window.... Now I've had a run in or two with some crack heads so I know how to handle myself pretty well when it comes down to it. So I roll my window down 1/2 way. & say "How can I help you." I kept my eyes on his hands and the large bags on the handle bars of his bike! He is riding around with 6 sodas on his handle bars, and candy bars out the ass. He telling me he just ran up on a hook up and was trying to get rid of the sodas so he didn't have to roll around with them. I told him I didn't have any cash on me. He kept on and kept on. & here we go with homeless/crack heads bringing my transportation in this.... "Look at the car you drive. You know you got it" (Yes a major upgrade from my Saturn) But I still didn't have it. Then he go in on flirting with me. Tell me his name is "ROMEO" This man on this bike is telling me how he has a home in "Mint Hill" (4 those who don't live around here i got a pic of where he say he live.) and a BMW! Of course me being the ass hole I am say "Yeah I guess it's mad e-z-errrrrrrrrrrrr to push those sodas off on the bike huh" He still going on and on *Where is my homegirl.... Your guess is as good as mine.* I'm waiting on her. While this man is really kick his grade A game to me. "Yeah I'm going to take you to Red Lobster and spoil you.... Soon as I get these soda's off. You know you want a soda just give me a dolla! (He going to take me to Red Lobster but I got to pay a "Dolla" for a soda) So I just ended up looking in the cup holder and finding something like 15 cent! That's it. I tell him look I will give you 15 cent if you just pedal on down the way! He just wont take the damn 15 cent and leave! He ended up giving me three two liter Cheerwines and a bag full of candy for 15 cent! LOL. Now 25 30 min's later my friend finally gets there. And ole Romeo is eye-ing her now. So I took my foot off the brake and flag her to keep going keep going.... As we sped off...

(Now what I did with those soda's and candy bars.... Story for another day! )

The moral of this story is....... PEOPLE get off that C.P. time!
