The cast was awesome & those folks can SANG! I would've loved to see Fantasia as Celie, but the young lady who had the role was just was great. LaToya London (American Idol runner up) was fab as Nettie as well.
The musical stayed true to the story for the most part, but they did mix it up a bit and that was nice too. ..and yes, I did shed a tear or two & you probably will/would too.
Toodles for now!
PS I'm still here...my new *ahem* boyfriend is occupying the time I had reserved for y'all! *lol*

Eye Candy for the Ladies
And can we focus…yet again…on Nelly’s swexiness he is providing with his alternate album cover for Brass Knuckles. I’ll let you have a moment to yourselves.
The original’s not too bad either.

Happy Birthday to my Favorite Entertainer of All Time!
Happy 50th birthday to
His Royal Badness!
That's right! Prince Rodgers Nelson is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all Time)....at least in IMHO (that's In My Humble Opinion....not I'mma Ho 
)! This man has been making tunes to groove to, have sex to & make love to since 1978 (damn....I was 6).
)! This man has been making tunes to groove to, have sex to & make love to since 1978 (damn....I was 6). He does it all: sings, writes, produces, plays instruments, dances (no one can jump & do splits in 4 inch heels like he can) & acts. Well, his acting could use a little work, but how could you not love Purple Rain & Under the Cherry Moon?
I remember hearing "Lil Red Corvette" and trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about....."pocket full of horses"???. Of course it all went over my head. Hey, I was only 10. Fast forward to 1984's Darling Nikki - I actually learned a few things from this record. I thought Nikki was nasty slut for masturbating in the hotel lobby. What did you expect from a 12 year-old know-it-all?
If I had to pick an all-time favorite, it would have to be "Adore". That is seriously, one sexxxy song! Followed by I Hate U, Kiss, D.M.S.R. (Dance, Music, Sex, Romance), Scandalous, International Lover, Baby I'm a Star (I gotta get up & shake my groove thang when I hear that one) & Let's Go Crazy. Even Muda liked Pop Life.
Do you remember the 1999 calender? Caliente!!
When "When Doves Cry" was released on 45, my mama sent me to SoundTown (a local Wrecka Stow..only real fans will get this) to it. Imagine my awe when I pulled it out to check for scratches & that joker was actually purple! A purple record!! Who'da thunk it? *lol*
I paid $75 whole, hard-earned dollars to see the Musicology concert & of course it was worth it.
I just wanted to show my appreciation for a true entertainer who doesn't need a lot of 4-letter words & countless video hoes to sell records. Although, his music does bring a few 4-letter words to mind....
PS....I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me it goes astray.

The TV movie adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry's classic play 'A Raisin in the Sun,' starring Sean "Diddy" Combs, Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald and Sanaa Lathan, John Stamos, Sean Patrick Thomas, David Oyelowo, Bill Nunn and Ron Cephas Jones was worth the wait.
I hope Bad Boy Films keeps up the GOOD work!

Big Bub -Telling Me Stories
Big Bub is Back! (Looking like a young Isaac Hayes)
As the lead singer of one of Teddy Riley’s 1st groups, Today, Big Bub has remained consistent as an R&B singer with his track record of soulful albums. His latest album, Tug of War, features more R&B classics, as well as gospel classics. In this interesting interview, find out how Big Bub has flipped his style and his take on the entertainment industry.
Interview by Rob Schwartz
WHO?MAG: What made you want to get into the music business?
BIG BUB: What made me want to get into the music business is that I knew I had it. I had the passion and the drive. I already knew I was a star.
WHO?MAG: How did the group TODAY form?
BIG BUB: TODAY came about in the Latin Quarter days when Andre Harrell discovered us. We were called “The Gents” at that time, but when we signed with Teddy Riley and Gene Woodman, they changed the name to TODAY. That’s how it came about.
WHO?MAG: How did you become the Vice-President of Motown?
BIG BUB: I was working with Mary J. Blige “My Life” album and Andre Harrell was there and liked how I related with other artists. Back in the day, people really couldn’t understand her. After that, he was like, ‘If you can work with Mary, you can work with anybody!” And he just gave me a job from there.
WHO?MAG: Can you explain the concept behind the new album “Tug of War”?
BIG BUB: Tug of War is about me going through a spiritual struggle of me being a R&B artist and me being a gospel artist and going through the wilderness which is the struggle to become a saved man. I really didn’t want to put out false information to the people by putting out a straight R&B album. It wouldn’t be right. I feel like I would have been telling a lie. I figured since I was still going through the struggle, I might have well come up with the tug-of-war concept. I called the R&B side “Living in the Flesh” and the gospel side “Dying in the Lush”.
WHO?MAG: Creatively, what’s going to make this album different than your first three solo albums?
BIG BUB: Ahh man! God has his hands on this project. That’s the difference. When I was doing my other albums, because before I knew him, but I wasn’t really giving him all the thanks and all the respect. Before I was running around wild, spending all kinds of money, sleeping with all kids of women. This time I was more focused. I am now staying with my wife, going to church everyday, and getting my mind and my spirit right. Now, all of the records just started coming quicker. I really didn’t have to think about it.
WHO?MAG: From a songwriter’s perspective, how do you feel about the industry today?
BIG BUB: There are a lot of great artist that I love and I love their writing. I feel now that we are lost. I expect some of these newcomers to help keep it alive. We’re in the wilderness. Think about it. But I really appreciate those trying to hold it down. I respect Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, and definitely Usher for doing their thing. But we need to get together, all the R&B acts, because R&B is like rock and roll. R&B is bigger than rock and roll to me. We just need to get together.
WHO?MAG: What’s your process for writing a song?
BIG BUB: It comes to the top of my head. I feel the record whether or not I already have melodies. Then I figure out which one would go with the record. I just try to develop it. I get on the mic, give one or two takes, and take it from there.
WHO?MAG: Do you feel with the state of the industry right now that there will ever be another album to break the sales record of 2.4 million copies in one week?
BIG BUB: I think it’s possible. Technology is taking over! It can happen!
WHO?MAG: If you can change one thing about the music industry today, what would it be?
BIG BUB: More attention for new artists that come on major labels. I would also put some real true soulful R&B singers out there.
WHO?MAG: What’s next for Big Bub?
BIG BUB: Scores, jingle, and just keep writing for everybody and keeping music alive. If I can help, I’m here!

One Year Ago Today....
We lost one of the most phenomenal R&B sensations to ever grace the stage - Mr. Gerald Levert.
Gerald was one of the greatest voices of my generation. His untimely passing broke a lot of hearts & opened plenty of eyes.
Now I know why my mama was crying when Marvin Gaye died.
Rest in peace sweetheart. You are surely loved & are sorely missed.
