Dearest Jamie Foxx,

Dearest Jamie Foxx,



I love INTUITION!
It's a really good album.
I did sleep on your first album,
but b/c I LOVED "Like Me" [ft. T.I.], I knew I had to get this one.
I must admit, "Blame It" wasn't one of my favorites @ 1st...
But, over time I have come to L-O-V-E the hell out of this single.
[Especially in the clubs]



I hated that you sung w/ autotune, but the performance was JAMMIN'!!
I just can't believe you performed this song on American Idol!
It's a Good Look thou! ;)

Dearest Lil Kim,

Dearest Lil Kim,


Before I begin, Please FastForward to 1:18.

Did you see "Looney Leechman's" face when she realized who you were?!
"You don't look like yourself...You look like me!"
[OMG----HILIARIOUS!!!]

When you first emerged in '96 I thought you were hella pretty.
[Especially in the Crush on You video]



BBBuuuttt, over the years [SMH] I just don't know. For example,


WHO would believe thats YOU?!
But to each their own & who am I to judge?
I just thought it was funny...& shocking, really.
Anywho, you are still [&&always will be] my #1 female hip hop artist...
Even if you do look like "A Jackson" now...=)

Dearest T.G.I.Friday's,

Dearest T.G.I.Friday's,


All I have to say is, F**k a $5 foot long.
All day/Everyday next month [May], I will be eating
Bacon Cheeseburgers, BBQ Chix wraps & Caeser salads...
all for only $5!!!
I'm hella excited about this...especially b/c there are many nights
my ass does not want to cook & since you stay open until 1 am,
on this side of Earth,
I can enjoy you even late.

"The question: Can Friday's afford it? A steak sandwich that usually fetches $11.75 will go for $5, as will a pecan-crusted chicken salad, normally $9.69. All are full-size portions. The chain hasn't had such low prices on its menu since it opened in 1965." [usatoday]

Dearest Bun B,

Dearest Bun B,

Last night, I was fortunate enough to
attend the Myspace concert which featured
Paul Wall, Mike Jones[Who?], & Yourself.


I walked in on Paul Wall's performance, but the parts I caught was "EH"...
Mike Jones was onstage for what seemed like forever...even had the nerve to perform
some song about a hoe's swag being "through the roof" TWICE...smh...
He was WACK---No Energy. Too "Cool" w/ a leather hoodie, blk shades & a "Gucci" backpage...WACK

But you, KILLED IT!
It was evident that everyone was there just to see you.
I wasn't aware of how many lyrics I knew of yours.
[4got I had your '05 album TRILL]
You performed some of my favs:
*Get Throwed
*International Player
*Draped Up
*Big Pimpin'
*Gimme That



[pictures taken by ME backstage-thats why no face shots =(]

Dearest Beyonce,

Dearest Beyonce,


I was in 8th grade when Destiny's Child emerged.
I remember seeing the "NoNoNo" video, recording it &
loving the hell out of that song.
&Ever since then, I have been a faithful fan of Destiny's Child.

I must admit, however, I was not always a "BEYONCE FAN",
But that sh*t ended once "Dangerously in Love" came out.
After that, I have nothing but LOVE for you & I TRIPLE Dare
ANYONE to say anything negative about you in my presence...
im bustin heads.

I recently found out you will be visiting ATL on 07.01.09
for your I AM...Sasha Fierce Tour &
by any means neccessary, I will be in the damn building.

But until then, I will enjoy your performances via my computer
screen.

Dearest 420ers,

Dearest 420ers,



"...the significance of April 20 dates
to a ritual begun in the early 1970s
in which a group of Northern California teenagers smoked
marijuana every day at 4:20 p.m..
Word of the ritual spread and expanded to a yearly event in various places.
Soon, marijuana aficionados were using “420” as a code
for smoking and using it as a sign-off on fliers for
concerts where the drug would be plentiful
."
[wikipedia.com]

So, in honor of 420:
I remember a few years one of my fellow Californian homegirls
invited to a Snoop Dogg concert out here in ATL.
Because her cousin played Keys for Snoop we got the "hook up" & was
directly in front of the stage.
[I remember the stage being set up w/ big ass marijuana plants all around it...CRAZY!]
So, after a few opening acts...
Snoop arrived on stage in his signature outfit.
After enjoying a few classic joints
[& having Snoop acknowledge me for singing along to EVERY song]
,
Snoop tossed the blunt he was smoking right in my direction.
Everyone backed up as it hit the ground DIRECTLY in front of my black&white
Chuck Taylors.
I bent down & snatched the blunt up.
But before I could even fully realize what just occurred,
niggas were running up trying to BUY the b*tch.
"Aye Shawty. How much you wont fo dat blunt?" a stranger asked.
"HA! I aint selling this!" I replied as I pocketed the blunt.


THE END!

Dearest Mr. T,

Dearest Mr. T,



You were REALLY about to beat ol' boy ass.
I was scared...but I couldn't stop laughing.
HA!




[PS: I almost forgot you had a cereal...LoL.]

Dearest Bebe Kids,

Dearest Bebe Kids,

WHERE-IN-THE-HELL-ARE-YOUR-PARENTS??!!
This sh*t is ridiculous...



I can't believe this, but then again-I can.
A few nights ago, me and my boyfriend were "chillin @ the crib"
when someone knocked at the door.
We exchanged "Are you expecting someone?" glances [@ 7pm]
& we each shook our heads No.
My boyfriend then got up to answer to door.
"Do you have any trash you want taken out?" a little boy [age 11 or 12] asked.
"Nah, We straight." said my boyfriend and started to close the door.
"Well, I need a dollar." the boy demanded just as the door shut.
"What'd he say?" I asked my boyfriend.
"He said he needed a dollar." He said.
"So." I replied, "That is not that way you ask anyone for anything."

& thats just the way I feel.
If you want/need something, you NEED to have proper manners.
But, Aint that some sh*t? Where the hell was this boy's parents?
I be DAMNED if I EVER asked another person besides my parentals
for any money.
I remember when my sister & I was younger, we would "work" for our cash.
Drawing pictures, selling rocks, lemonade, etc.
[LoL...wierd but true].

Please, get it together people.

Dearest Cassie,

Dearest Cassie,

You Said [via twitter]:
"Sometimes in life, you need a change"
"Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of"
"Something that displays the "I don't give a fuck" attitude
that was always present, but never showcased"
"...& something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR."
"They ask why?? Lol... B/C I WOKE UP AND FELT LIKE IT!!! YEEEAHHH!!! LOL :)"


I said:
"That is NOT what's up"
"I wonder if she donated that hair"
"Is she dropping an album soon or something?"
"Is that what "ROCKSTARS" do?"
"WTF is she going to do when that sh*t starts growing back?"
"Was she having a "Brittany Spears" moment?"


Like many-Im confused.
But at the end of the day, its your scalp & whatever
you want to do is your business.
I just thought you were so much prettier w/ a head full of hair.


I also agree with Fabolous, who said[via twitter]:
"Cassie haircut’s not da worst thing n da world but its like 4 what?
She a pretty girl, gorgeous hair.
goes 2 show u women r never satisfied".

"Giving Him Something He Can Feel" was my sh*t!!

I've realized singing isn't something I do best
[but I can harmonize-dont get it twisted-I was in the church choir] ;).

PS: You ladies are STILL GORGEOUS!

Dearest Atl-iens,

Dearest Atl-iens,

On a serious note:

The above picture is of an associate I have met many
times through work & friends while living here in Atlanta.
His name is Kerry Lee Hayes, but I knew him as "Kane".
I just got word that he has been kidnapped from his Gable Apartments
in Perimeter Center East after 1 AM on Thursday.

According to WSBtv.com,
"Witnesses on the scene told police two black males with Jamaican accents entered the apartment, demanded money, and kidnapped Hayes.
Officials said one of the suspects was armed with a semi-automatic pistol. The other suspect also was armed but there was no description of the weapon."

I am seriously a little disturbed by this.
I have never personally known anyone that has gotten kidnapped &
just hope he's okay.
If anyone has information about this crime, please call Dunwoody police at (678) 533-0737.

Please put him in your prayers...
Peace

Dearest Hip Hop,

Dearest Hip Hop,

This is what happens when parents let their kids listen to
the "New" Hip Hop station on the radio dial.
[you know the once "Pop" station, now #1 for "Hip Hop"]
I didn't know what to expect at first,
but after the music started playing and the kids started dancing...
I couldn't stop laughing.
The little boy--[smh]--was GETTING IT!!



LoL@my boyfriend who said the kid had an "arsenal" of dance moves-HA!

Dearest King Magazine,

Like many of the males [& females], I am
a little sad to hear that KING Magazine will be no more.

Damn, I hope this doesnt happen to XXL...

Dearest Saints,
