Whitney Houston x Oprah

Nothing to say other than it's everything you wanted to hear in what Oprah states as "One of the most powerful interviews" she has done. You'd be a fool to disgaree.

First part

  • What attracted the church-going, sweetheart dubbed "The voice" to "bad news" Bobby Brown
  • In-depth look into their tumultuous, and sometimes abusive relationship
  • Addiction to sex, coke and weed
  • Breakdown of her marriage
  • Rehab


Second part

  • The day she finally walked out
  • Effect the relationship had on their teenage daughter Bobby Kristina
  • Michael Jackson's passing
  • Inspiration behind songs lifted from new album 'I Look to You'
  • Whether she's drug-free


Whitney has a mean swagger in front of the audience. I remember fancying Whitney along with the likes of Beyoncé, Chilli (TLC) and Monica circa 'My Love is Your Love', not ashamed to say. After seeing pics of her looking rather crack-ish for obvious reasons (no disrespect of course), she looks rejuvenated and radiant like she's thrownback to them times.

Back to the interview, tell me that wasn't gripping. Go on I dare ya! Oprah is the bawse.

Moral of the story: You can be blessed with talent and beauty, all the money, praise and adulation you could wish for yet still not be happy/content. This proves celebrities are real people. More shallow and insecure than you and I in a lot of cases. To think, that's what many aspiring artists hope to be. Do what you want to do for yourself; external factors don't usually help internally (no Rev Run).

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album.

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J

Kartel has made a few songs directly dissin Killer, but Killer never really outright replied causing many and even Kartel ( Click for Vybz Kartel dissin Alliance "Suck pu**y Killer can't diss me" ) to suspect the once fearless Killer was running scared of the 'War Angel' aka Gaza yout' Vybz Kartel. Killer finally plucked up the courage to send shots at Kartel But most notably with Chatta Box Vybz Kartel allegedly missed a b
