  • PreMadonna And Buck Thomas – Marriage Boot Camp, Love And Hip Hop Atlanta

    In episode 4 of Marriage Boot Camp season 7, we hear PreMadonna reveal details about her past.  She explains that her mother taught her to be a self sufficient, independent person.  When she looks back at the scene, the reality star is shocked because she sounds like her mother.  Her husband, Buck is forced to tears during the episode.

    PreMadonna and Buck Thomas are on Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars season 7.  You most likely remember PreMadonna from season 4 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.  Her and Buck Thomas got married in August of 2016 and are already experiencing problems.  PreMadonna landed a spot on Love and Hip Hop because she knew Mimi Faust and Rasheeda through Buck.

    Although PreMadonna and Buck got married in 2016, they got engaged in 2015.  Marriage Boot Camp season 7 was filmed prior to the couple’s marriage.  PreMadonna is seen upset with Buck because he wanted to work out their issues before they got married.  Buck thinks they need to learn how to communicate more effectively.

    Fans of the series are falling in love with PreMadonna:

    PreMadonna is best known for her waist trainers.  The self-made Miami native is a boss.   Last year, she made Joseline Hernandez take several seats after Joseline advised women to go to the gym instead of wearing waist trainers.

    PreMadonna is too creative to just clap back at Hernandez.  the reality star called Joseline out for being a coke head and started selling Cokealine shirts.  She got Mimi Faust, Jessica Dima and Tommie Lee to post pictures of themselves wearing the shirt:

    We would love to see PreMadonna and Buck appear on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta season 6!

  • Migos Culture – Review, New Album

    Migos Culture

    Rating: 4
    out of 5

    This article provides a review of Migos’ second studio album, Culture.  The group is currently dominating hip-hop but they weren’t getting any love from the major television networks.  “If you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours.” Last year, the trio appeared on an episode of Donald Glover’s FX series, Atlanta.

    Glover won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series and gave Migos a shout out for making the song “Bad And Boujee.”  Following the shout out, television networks allowed the group to appear on their late night shows and the song has over 148 million YouTube views.  Without further ado, let’s review Quavo, Takeoff and Offset’s sophomore album, Culture.

    Migos Culture Review New Album

     

    1. Culture (feat. DJ Khaled)

    DJ Khaled doesn’t drop any motivational quotes on Culture instead he calls out the haters that have been doubting Migos.  Classic Migos on this one.  All the ad libs you can handle.

     

    Takeoff’s hook is everything on this track.  He outshines Quavo and Offset.  The best part of the song is at the end when Khaled comes back in and you think the song’s done but then Takeoff delivers the hook one last time.

    2. T-Shirt

    The song is a perfect tribute to Shawty Lo.  Migos proves that their trap word play has changed hip-hop forever.  The beat is on point and Offset kills verse 3.  “I get high on my own sir, heard you gon’ clone, sir!”

     

    As the tweet above proclaims, “T-Shirt” is one of the best tracks I’ve heard in a long time.

    3. Call Casting

    Quavo came through on this one: “White boy in the game, call em Andy Milonakis.” The track sums up the group’s Culture.  The hook explains that hustling never stops.

    There’s nothing like delivering your true self on a track and that’s exactly what Migos does on “Call Casting.” The group went from the streets to the studio.  While they may have switched scenes, their hustles have remained intact.

    4. Bad And Boujee (feat. Lil Uzi Vert)

    Offset’s classic line “Raindrop, drop top” will never be forgotten.  Choosing to put Lil Uzi Vert on the track was a power move.  Migos rode the beat while Lil Uzi Vert added his animated verse to create a perfect track.

     

    You won’t get tired of listening to this track anytime soon.  Migos has multiple hit singles ensuring that listeners have a variety to pick from.

    5. Get Right Witcha

    Quavo has proven himself as the group’s best rapper so I don’t mind calling him out when he puts me to sleep.  That’s exactly what he does on this track.  Offset comes in and wakes listeners back up.  “Make a milli then I make it twice.” The rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, delivers one of his best verses of all-time.

     

    Takeoff starts his verse as slow as Quavo but then speeds up, delivering triplets at a pace similar to Offset’s.  The beat is hot, and just like that, Culture is 5 for 5 in my book.  The album’s first 5 tracks are A-1, period.

    6. Slippery (feat. Gucci Mane)

    Quavo does a solid job on the first portion of the track but listener’s aren’t sure what the song’s about until Offset’s verse: “Slippery, she numbin me, that tongue on me.” Gucci Mane is classic Gucci on the track.  Diamonds, cars and a basketball reference.  It’s scary how easy the game has become for Atlanta emcees.

     

    Although we have the formula figured out, there’s no denying the quality of each track.  Try to play the song without bobbing your head to the beat:
    It’s great to hear Migos collaborating with Gucci.  The rapper played a significant role in the group’s career.

    7. Big On Big

    The track reminds listeners that Migos is lit.  This song is appreciated because it adds to the theme of the album, Culture.  It reminds us of Meek Mill’s “Levels.”

     

    Migos has only released two studio albums yet they have numerous hits.  It’s difficult to believe that they’re still fighting for respect.

    8. What The Price

    Should Migos stick to their strengths and make every track an upbeat trap song? The trio discusses drug prices along with their high price lifestyle.

    This was Culture‘s worst track.  When the trio discusses money they shouldn’t add their vague theories.  Fans are motivated when the trio raps about making money and hustling hard.

    9. Brown Paper Bag

    This track definitely highlights the album’s title, Culture.  DJ Khaled and crew told us about that “Brown Paper Bag” and Migos is keeping it alive.

    Hip-hop culture is all about shining and Migos reminds us that they haven’t stopped earning and spending.  “Go to the mall in a Bentley, money is bigger than Winfrey’s.”

    10. Deadz (feat. 2 Chainz)

    Migos became Crime Mob on this track.  While it’s not quite “Knuck If You Buck” the song will definitely start some fights in clubs throughout the nation.

    If it’s not broken, add another Atlanta rapper to it and turn up! 2 Chainz delivered a quality verse, as expected.  Another quality track for Migos’ sophomore release.

    11. All Ass

    Migos will set a record for strip club classics.  The track takes listeners to Magic City.  The group has never been shy about their love for strippers and this song sounds like it was recorded in the strip club.

    Quavo forces listeners to respect his talent at the end of his verse.  The rapper shows off his storytelling skills.  We all know how much the group loves storytelling:

    12. Kelly Price (feat. Travis Scott)

    In the song’s hook, Qauvo says, “I’ma let that lean flow through my ice” and that’s exactly what he means.  The track is a lean song that takes listeners to space.  Migos recognizes that every song can’t be a trap classic so they switched things up on this one.

    The Kelly Price reference is random enough for listeners to love it.

    13. Out Yo Way

    Quavo sings on the hook.  In his best Ja Rule x Future voice, the rapper thanks the ladies who have helped him out throughout his life.  Quavo mentions his mother and grandmother on the track, making it difficult to be critical.  Takeoff delivers the second verse and sounds like he’s speaking to a special lady in his life.

     

    Offset’s fast tempo is impressive, as usual, but doesn’t quite fit the track.  The song’s message is strong but the group should listen to Drake’s “Look What You’ve Done.” The track proves that rappers don’t have to sing in a track dedicated to the females in their lives.

     

     

  • Ralph Tresvant Wife Zena – “Shelly”

    Ralph Tresvant’s ex-wife, Shelly Jean Tresvant most likely didn’t want her name used in The New Edition Story.  To avoid being sued, BET used the name “Zena” instead of Shelly’s real name.  Ralph and Shelly’s relationship started when they were only 11-years-old.  The couple got married in 1993 and divorced in 1996.

    Ralph and Shelly have two daughters and a son together.  In 2012, Ralph’s daughter, Na’Quelle Tresvant-Smith, made him a grandfather.  According to multiple media outlets, the New Edition singer was a cheater, leading Shelly to turn to drugs.

    The tweet below shows Ralph wishing his other daughter, Mariah Ann Tresvant, a Happy Birthday.  She was born on September 23.

    Ralph and Shelly named their first son Ralph Jr.  In 2004, Tresvant married his second wife, Amber Serrano.  The couple welcomed a baby on June 3, 1999.  They named their little man Dakari.  The tweet below shows Ralph wishing him a Happy Birthday:

    True New Edition fans were confused when they heard the name “Zena.” Media outlets report that Tresvant cheated on Shelly with Lisa Wu.

    Lisa is the reality star who appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Hollywood Divas.

    Ralph Tresvant’s Mother Died

    In 1996, Ralph’s mother, Patricia, sadly passed away.  In The New Edition Story, we see Mike and Ronnie discussing Ralph and how he’s handling the his mother’s death.

  • Rickey Smiley Son Malik – Kids Mother, Ex Wife

    Rickey Smiley’s son, Malik, is getting dragged on social media.  In episode 10 of Rickey Smiley For Real, the 15-year-old revealed that he thinks black women are unattractive.  I have been a Rickey Smiley fan for a very long time and I’m very disappointed.  The comedian was one of the realest entertainers in the industry but he’s now chasing that check.

    Malik explains that he’s prefers women who are white or Mexican.  Rickey tried to blame his son’s comments on the show’s producer.  Smiley forgot that the name of his television series is Rickey Smiley For Real.  Many reality shows feature reenacted scenes but producers shouldn’t tell reality stars what to say.

    Rickey Smiley Son Malik Kids Mother Ex Wife

    If Rickey’s telling the truth and the producer did advise Malik to make the comments, Malik should have refused.  More importantly, Rickey should have been there to approve the content being filmed for his series.

    Rickey Smiley was most likely there when his son made the comments.  The producer didn’t tell Malik to say that he’s not attracted to black women.  It is how Malik feels but he should not have shared that information on his father’s reality series.

    Rickey Smiley is a professional comedian who fully understands the benefits of shocking people.  He built his career on comedy that many people find inappropriate.  One of his favorite subjects to discuss is little people.  After hearing Malik’s comments, Rickey could have deleted the scene but he chose to keep it.

    Rickey was hoping Malik’s comments would shock views and keep them coming back for more.  #Fail.  I will never watch Rickey Smiley For Real again.

    Kids Mother, Ex Wife

    After hearing Malik’s comments, I wanted to find a picture of his black mother, Rickey’s ex-wife.  Smiley has two biological sons and two adopted daughters.  He’s a very private person and doesn’t hasn’t revealed the identity of his ex wife or baby mama.  Last year, there were rumors about the comedian dating Claudia Jordan.  He fired her so they most likely broke up.

  • Miss Kitty – Black Ink Crew, Kit SoVain

    Kit SoVain, aka Miss Kitty, is Black Ink Crew‘s new Brand Ambassador.  In episode 3 of season 5, “Bianca” we see her get into a fight with Tiffany Perez, a new tattoo artist.  Check out the video below to see the cat fight.  Dutchess told Miss Kitty that she would have to go through a hazing process but this isn’t what she had in mind.

    Miss Kitty wants the Black Ink brand to be respected.  She’s from Washington, D.C. so she understands the importance of reputation.  When Ceaser tells her that he’s expecting DMX, Kit makes sure the shop is clean and she lays out snacks for the rapper.  She makes DMX feel comfortable and he even compliments her dress.

    Miss Kitty Black Ink Crew Kit SoVain

    Cease witnesses Kitty’s skills and he knows the shop on 113th could use her services.

    Kitty’s feeling herself when she gets to 113th so Tiffany Perez has to let her know that she’s about that life.

    Tiffany warns Miss Kitty about being disrespectful but Miss Kitty doesn’t want to hear it.  Kit asks Tiffany about her title and then Young Bae interrupts.

    The video below shows Tiffany and Miss Kitty’s fight:

    Don’t miss the next episode of Black Ink Crew!

  • Chris Brown Vs Soulja Boy – Date

    The date of the Chris Brown vs Soulja Boy fight will have to be rescheduled.  Soulja Boy was arrested, again, for violating his gun probation.  The rapper had guns that were stolen from a Huntington Beach Police vehicle.  The rapper will now have to shift his focus from preparing for the fight to staying out of jail.

    Soulja Boy has some of the best lawyers money can buy.  His lawyers are telling him that it’s all about his reputation.  If a judge hears about Soulja Boy’s fight with Chris Brown and gang affiliation, the judge may think Soulja Boy’s a bad person.  If the same judge heard about Soulja Boy’s positive contributions to society, the judge would give the rapper the benefit of the doubt.

    Chris Brown Vs Soulja Boy Date

    In the video below, Soulja Boy is interviewed at an airport.  He provides information about the fight but the statements were made before his recent arrest.  The rapper explains that the fight will take place in Las Vegas or Los Angeles in March 2017.

    Soulja Boy says he has 2 months to train and he thinks he’ll defeat Chris Brown.

    From Quavo to Chris Brown, Soulja Boy can’t stop beefing with people.  That’s why he finds it necessary to have a gun, no matter what he has to do to get one.

    Check out Soulja Boy in the video below:

    The following video discusses Soulja Boy’s most recent arrest:

  • Catch Me Outside How Bout Dat Girl – Dead?

    The “catch me outside how bout dat” girl is not dead.  Danielle Ann did not commit suicide and she is not in the hospital.  The 13-year-old appeared on Dr. Phil late last year.  Her mother, Barbara Ann, reached out to Dr. Phil because of Danielle’s behavior.  Barbara explained that she was considering handing Danielle over to the authorities.

    Danielle’s appearance on the talk show went viral thanks to her rude attitude.  The teenager tells members of Dr. Phil’s audience to “catch her outside.” Danielle was outnumbered.  Dr. Phil and his guests, all supported Barbara.  While Danielle definitely needs help, Dr. Phil’s approach was not effective.

    Catch Me Outside How Bout Dat Girl Dead?

    Dr. Phil makes it clear that Danielle is crying out for help.  She’s not a bad person, she’s just lost and confused.  Although Dr. Phil knows that Danielle needs help, he still judges the teen after every comment she makes.

    Danielle’s use of urban slang is something Dr. Phil’s not accustomed to.  That doesn’t mean he has the right to talk down to her.

    Dr. Phil knows that his ratings increase when there’s drama on his show.  As a result, he’s acting like a mean parent instead of a licensed professional.

    We’re hoping Danielle finds a better doctor to help her through her difficulties.  Check out the unforgettable segment below:
