Michelle Williams Tells Mike Huckabee "You Come At The Queen, You Best Not Miss"
Apparently on an episode of The View (they still make those?), Mike Huckabee appeared and theorized in his book that Jay-Z was pimping out Beyoncé. As in, Bey’s sexual expression freedom was not because she’s an independent woman and all’at, but because Jay was making her do something she apparently doesn’t need to do: express herself…

Master P Didn't Ruin Hip Hop, Jay-Z Did
Yeah, I said it. Any discussion about what happened to hip-hop – and by what happened, I mean the apparent downfall of it – usually starts and ends with the South and the rise of one Percy “Master P” Miller and the point when he and his No Limit tank invaded NYC and DJs began…

I met a dozen or so people for brunch Sunday afternoon, a meet-up that was the brainchild of my wife and one of her friends to combine our collective love of bacon and bottomlessness to a need to do something about the disconnect in the Black professional population here instead of just talking about it.…

Fifty Shades of Bey*
Beyoncé has set the internet on fire… again, this time by re-recording “Crazy in Love” for the soundtrack of the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. The new version is slower, breathier, and sexier, and it’s pretty much the exact sort of thing you’d overlay sexually tense shots of two okay-looking White people…

What Solange Would Have Said About The Fight If She Were One Of Your Cousins
Of course, anyone with any knowledge of how the Knowles/Carter cult handles things knew Solange’s public non-response would likely be her official public response to the chicken fight seen ’round the internet. And, admittedly, this is how a family is supposed to handle family business. Leave the passive-aggressive Facebook posts about family to your cousins.…
