Slim Doing Well Without 112


Everywhere I look I see and hear good things coming from the singer known as Slim from the group 112.

112 was discovered by Diddy who in those days was called Puffy. The group was in Atlanta and they met the man himself. The began by singing and showing Diddy what they can do.

Diddy wasn't sure and called Faith to listen to them. Faith took one listen and told Diddy he would be a fool if he didn't sign them and the rest is history as they say.

112 is no longer with Bad Boy and they are not really together even if they still pretend they are.

Most of the groups members are working on solo projects like Slim. Slim presently has songs with other R&B and rap entertainers like Jadakiss. His song "So fly" is doing very well on the charts.

Slim's voice is very unique and well known. Recently he was on the Ed Lover morning show talking about his new projects and plans for the future.

I have also heard rumors that group members of 112 have been fighting over money. Allegedly one of the members took a check for writing a song that another member wrote.

As I always say anytime something goes wrong with a group it's usually over money.

Slim has the right attitude and was smart enough to get away from the 112.

One Love, One Nation, One World.

Barak Obama Wins Election


On November, 4Th, the future was written and history was made when millions of Americans voted with their heads and chose the future over racism and prejudice.

Many went to sleep and awoke to find that Barak Obama had been elected as the President of the United States.

His election is one for the history books because he is the first African-American to hold the position of President in the United States. His election has proven to the rest of the world that America is a united country and lives up to it's ideals.

Many older African Americans had tears in their eyes because they never believed that they would live to see an African-American elected president and I must agree it was a sobering moment when he was announced the winner of the election.

Barak Obama is the President Elect of the United States and will be sworn in about seventy-three days.

Barak obama has come from humble beginnings to hold the highest office in the land and we the people are proud.

One Love, One Nation, One World.

America Must Decide The Future


Tommorrow American's all over the country will go to the polls and elect a new President.

During the last twenty weeks we have watched Barak Obama and John McCain debate and attempt to convince us that one can run the country better than the other.

Obama became the front runner because he has proven himself to be a thinker who actually cares about the American people.

While McCain really didn't have to much to say on the subjects of easing the American peoples pain that has been caused by the recession.

Then McCain choose Sarah Palin to run as his Vice Presidential running mate. Great looking woman but not much in the intelligence arena.

The bottom line is that Obama's goal is to make things better for the country while McCain's plan is to make sure things remain the same as President Bush has made them.

So, It's up to you Mr. and Mrs. American Citizen. Make your choice a good one.

One Love, One Nation, One World.

Diddy Buys Enyce From Liz Claiborne.


Recently Rap Mogul known as Diddy bought the long forgotten Enyce clothing line from Liz Claiborne Inc. for 20 million dollars.

You may remember that Enyce was a hot clothing line about 10 years ago and now is worn by people mostly when its laundry day.

However whats really interesting is that the line was purchased from sports brand international by Liz Claiborne in 2003 for 114 million dollars.

I guess if Diddy can revamp the line and put it back on the level that it was years ago he can double or even triple his investment.

One minute rumors are saying that Diddy can't afford gas for his leased jet and the next minute he is spending 20 million dollars.

It just goes to show that you can't believe everything you read or hear. I wish Diddy good luck. Encye may rise again.

One Love, One Nation. One World.

T.I. King Of The South Reigns Again


Well my friends T.I. is officially back in the game and he has the number one record this week. First his sugar daddy anthem "Whatever You like" is number one on the charts.

He also has a hit song with Kanye, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne called as if you didn't know Swagger Like Us.

And believe it or not a lot of people were upset that T.I. didn't invite them to be on the song with him. I'm not going to name names but most of them will be coming out with their own swagger song.

But my favorite is the song that has Rihanna on the it called "Live Your Life". Its hot because T.I. lets everyone know that the song is for everyone know who is fake or has crossed him that they are nothing to him and can't stop him.

T.I. still has to serve a year stemming from the automatic weapons charges that he caught from the feds. But I'm sure his fans will wait for him.

One Love, One Nation, One World.

Swagger Over Flows


Today I am sad to report that everyone has gone Swagger crazy. It all began when a singer, songwriter and producer who goes by the name of M.I.A recorded a song called Paper Planes.

In her song she says no body on the block got swagger like us. The next thing you know everyone is on the Swagger bandwagon.

The first Swagger like us is hot and featured Jay-Z, Kanye, T.I. and Lil Wayne. But now the word on the street is that Diddy is going to do a song and Chris Brown, Neyo are going to make a swagger song for the R&B crowd.

I believe that we have enough songs with swagger in them and overusing and abusing the word causes the listening audience to get bored very quickly.

So, if you really want to help Hip-Hop encourage artist to at least come up with original concepts like M.I.A. did.

One Love, One Nation, One World.
