Presidential campaign & the sex appeal factor

HEALTHY HIP HOP

I was very happy to find out from a Hip Hop artist about Hip Hop Health Education. Artists such as Dougie Fresh (I hope he's on time), and the legendary Easy A.D. have joined the founder, Dr. Olajide Williams MD MS in educating our children about Strokes and counting calories. I honestly believe if you want kids to listen and learn, put it in a rap song. It's extremely effective, REALLY IT IS!!

This past Wednesday on our radio show, DJ Leecy T and Kwame enlightened our listeners about juicing and eating healthy. It's a big deal now since a lot of our food really isn't food. I won't go any further on that, just enjoy the juice recipes below from DJ Leecy T. This reminds me, Russel Simmons is a Vegan as well as other public figures but you won't hear about it in a song. If you are ever in Brooklyn on Flatbush Ave, you may see me (Ms. Nee Nee) and Kwame at Vegetarian Palate- 258 Flatbush Ave, between St. Marks Ave and Prospect Place. MMMMMM MMMMMMM GOOD! You MUST HAVE the Crispy Nuggets w/ the hickory sauce. Ask for Tony, he's a real cool dude! Eat, Drink, Love, and Enjoy!

ALLERGIES:

3 Medium carrots, 1/2 medium beet, 1/2 medium cucumber and 1/4-1/2 bunch parsley. makes 12oz. Consume once daily during acute stage.

ANXIETY: 6oz. cantaloupe, 1/2 medium papaya and 1 Tbsp Noni juice. Makes 12oz. Consume once to twice daily.

INSOMNIA: 3 medium carrots, 1-2 celery stalks, and 1/2 head of lettuce. Makes 12oz. Consume one hour before bed.

All recipes are from the book "Juice Alive: The Ultimate Guide to Juicing Remedies" by Steven bailey, ND and Larry Trivieri, Jr. Great book for the beginner or experienced juicer.

LOVE MAKIN' HIP HOP

I feel so bad for those who don't hear what I hear nor feel what I feel when I hear certain Hip Hop songs. You know, that kind of Marvin Gaye- "Turn Off The Lights" kind of vibe. How did you feel when you 1st heard A Tribe Called Quest- Bonita Applebum? I was wishing I was swaying right along with them in the video. Ok yeah, I was imagining kissing...NO, sucking face with Q Tip too (I had a flash back when I saw him at Rock The Bells) and I even learned a proper term, "prophylactics". I understand the politics of radio and record labels which, makes me love (free) Satellite Radio stations, but what's coming out of the air waves is sickening, literally. I won't even go into seeing children imitate the music videos.

I feel disappointed when my DJ friends play other tracks from the album of main stream artists that never make the play list of mainstream radio. I'm always thinking it's something new. "Lollipop" turned me off of Little Wayne but I had a change of heart when I heard "Dr. Carter". I don't go clubbing like I used to but I would definitely dance my a** off if the DJ played "Party Tonight" by Black Sheep.

Let's just say I made a mini-movie/music video to show you my idea of the perfect date, try to imagine this: A really handsome (educated Dean of a college or pediatrician who looks like "The Rock") rolls up in front of my house in a black truck playing Foreign Exchange- "Something to Behold". You can't hear us speak, just the music so all you see is us vibing to the music. We ride down the West Side Hwy to "Take Off The Blues". The truck even rolls over the bumps to the beat of the music. We end up at a spot where we dance to "Truely Unique", because he knows I like to dance for real. Fast fwd to the end of the night (after he took me to a SEA, my favorite restaurant in NYC). We drive to someplace romantic to "Shceming" then "Say Wassup". The lyrics are very suggestive and straight forward and I'm getting what He's suggesting and it's my movie so he doesn't have to actually say it. We stop at a spot near some water and get out the truck and open all the doors and turn the music up really loud. He guides me by the hand to the front of the truck in the midst of the head lights (the look on my face says "This fool better not push me in the water!) and we dance to "Down South Girl", "Cloud 9", and "Hennessy (part 2)". The scene fades with us in a deep embrace and we watch the sun come up to "Talk To You Little Darlin' ". After that, I need to go make a new playlist on my ipod. I LOVE HIP HOP.

TRIPLE F.A.T GOOSE!- MS. NEE NEE AT FASHION WEEK

My friend Jane (from the Beauty Lounge) invited me to the TRIPLE F.A.T. GOOSE unveiling of their new line. When she told me all I could envision is the abominable snow man goose I had in college (1997/1998- you should have heard what they would scream at me across SUNY Purchase campus when they saw me coming in that coat). So I was hoping to see non-snowman like tailored outer wear. Aside from having a killer sinus headache, I did notice the HIP HOP elements. NO, Little Wayne was not there (I had to find a pic w/ the coat on) Ralph McDaniels was the DJ and Sway from MTV (had his TFG on) opened the show. I think he killed the mood by asking who enjoyed the MTV awards from the night before.

The show begins and.....I'm just a consumer who happens to own a computerized, self sewing, monster sewing machine upon which I know how to use 2 of the 100 stitches and embroidery, but I was hoping for that teen aged "OMG! I GOTTA HAVE THAT" type of feeling. I was partially jamming to the music which could have been louder (if I didn't have a head ache) and being a cranky old lady critic thinking, "That looks like something you can buy off of Jamaica Avenue" and "The coat looks too small for the skinny model and I don't want my writs to be cold if I buy that".

I learned something about Hip Hop and fashion last nite. There seems to be a certain "feeling" in Hip Hop style. It's not classy nor grungy. It's STREET! I can't explain it any more than that. It certainly is worthy of a fashion show but not in the "RunWay" setting. Having a theater back ground, it definitely could have used some subliminal theatrics, but then again I am just a consumer who is probably not in their target market but will not complain if I were to get a TFG for free. I would definitely give it away if it didn't cover my wrists.

Kwame's random thoughts

On 5/20/09 NYPD announced the arrest of 4 Muslim terror suspects of trying to blow up a Jewish synagogue and shoot down a military aircraft, they all were American black men. In the new story each suspect was reported to have had long criminal histories and it was never mentioned that any of the suspects had ever served in the military. And in the subsequent days after more information had come out about this story and reporters have questioned the authorities as to the actual legitimacy of this threat/terror plot. There is an informant who supplied the suspects everything from money to drugs to the fake bombs that they intended to use in their attack. There are many things wrong with this picture I don't have all the information but on a gut level as a Black man in america I find it hard to believe a group dudes without connections to the channels to buy military grade weapons weren't set up somehow. Yeah they were stupid for trying, but this leads to another more dangerous problem. They were Black and they are reported to follow Muslim the faith while those are two things it's like quadurple jeapordy for every Black man walking the streets of NYC and this entire country for that matter. People look at you strange and think you are those guys, damn the persicution!
