Let Love Save You (with Yvette Noel-Schure) – Episode 17 of Professional Troublemaker
We’re wrapping up Archive April with one of my favorite conversations we had on Rants & Randomness before we renamed the podcast Professional Troublemaker. As we’ve done for the past month, we’re going back into our archives and re-sharing some of our interviews with epic professional troublemakers. Today, we’re sharing …
Michelle Williams Covers an African Gospel Song with “Say Yes” and I’m Jamming!
Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child fame and PoorMichelle.com shade came out with a new song yesterday. It’s featuring Beyonce and Kelly Rowland but I don’t think they’re necessary. She needed their name for the boost, doe. I listened to it and it was familiar as hell. It’s because it’s a …
My Ideal Whitney Houston Tribute Show
Last night, the Grammy Awards basically dedicated the show to Whitney Houston by making sure her name was never far from the mouths of presenters. Beginning with an opening prayer from host, LL Cool J, and with random mentions throughout the night. I loved the thoughtfulness they showed, especially with …
Dear Whitney Houston, You Were the Voice of My Generation
I don’t understand at all and it’s not registering in my head fully that you’re really gone, Whitney. I screamed when I found out. I literally screamed as I saw on TMZ.com “Whitney Houston Dies at 48.” I refreshed the page because surely, they’ll take it back. They didn’t. How …
Dear Common and Drake, No One Cares About Your Beef
I heard that Common and Drake had some rap beef going on, and word on the street is that it’s over Serena Williams. They’ve earned this week’s sternly-worded letter. Dear Common and Drake, Hey Lonnie. Hey Aubrey. I wanted to sit you both down to let you know that don’t …
Pop Up Video is Back! And With More Shade. YES!
Ok if you were born after 1990, you might not remember this too much but for us older than that folks, we recall VH1’s “Pop Up Video.” I used to LOVE that show, and I mentioned it when I talked about old shows I miss. I love behind-the-scenes stuffs. I’m …
No More “Rolling in the Deep” Covers!
Now y’all KNOW my love of Adele. It was well-documented in the post I wrote a coupla weeks ago titled “Why I LOVE Adele.” Apparently, I ain’t the only one who thoroughly enjoys that plump Brit with a voice touched the the Lord! 98 comments and counting! One of my …
Why I Love Adele: Her Voice and Soul
My love affair with Adele began later than everyone else’s because, well, I’m always tardy for the party. First time I saw her was at some awards show last year singing “Chasing Pavements.” I was all “Who is this? She’s kinda tight.” But she fell off my radar for a …
Kanye West said “Runaway.” Do Just That.
Ok. So everyone and their mama have been talking about Kanye West’s short film “Runaway.” It was highly anticipated. People pissed their pants in suspense. It was just hyped. I didn’t give much of a damb though. Just because I figured I’d see it when I saw it. However, I …
Improper Music’s Proper Lyrics
Like a month back, I was clubbing with a friend for her birthday, and I admit that I’ve become a bit of a bore. I don’t dance until I can’t dance anymore when I go clubbing. What I do is sit down and people watch. This is fun for me. …
