What.. no P Diddy or Puff Daddy?!

Hi Everyone!!! MO you back!!! I have to go with Jay-Z. He has the coolest swagger in my opinion.
July 7, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Puff daddy is the definition of FAG! I like all of the other pics because even though Billy Dee had a jerri curl and was slinging that COLT 45, he was a cool ma fucka doing it…..
July 7, 2008 at 2:09 pm
What about Prince…he wears makeup to bed (according to his ex – Carmen Electra)!?
July 7, 2008 at 2:30 pm
lol @ DT…I bet Diddy somewhere protesting as we blog….
Billy Dee all day everyday…now, he is the best representation of BLACK COOL if there ever was one.
Prince….?????…WTF..?????
July 7, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Billy mutha ucking Dee Williams all day!!! Prince? please, Camel is cool but not cooler than Billy Dee

I love the selections. I have to say I’m torn between Denzel and my man Barack Obama. Look at that cover. That man is too cool.
Prince may wear make-up but can’t nobody deny his coolness….who else up there besides Marvin Gaye had you making babies strong. Marvin had you making love, but Prince had you straight f@cking…..tell me I’m wrong.

You ain’t neva lied W2m!

@ W2M – You are so right!!
July 7, 2008 at 6:25 pm
lmao Billy Dee, Colt 45 works every time!
July 7, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Nothing better than Billy Dee!!
July 7, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Diddy?
His image isn’t clean enough…
In a world that is perpetuated by cultural stereotypes, he just can’t shake the past that has shaped him…and paid him. $$$$$
If I’m not mistaken M.O. presented one of his covers, with babies and momma in tow…
The cover presented the topic “Family Values” and then turned the spotlight to the Diddy and his brood.
The bloggers laced him up!!!
Diddy has been a gangster…drugs…sluts…drink…baby momma drama…all gone public for the world to see!!
Which you know…I’m not knocking how anybody rolls, but you can’t have certain skeletons in your closet and expect to be showcased in a family driven publication.
Best advice…
Keep you stuff quiet and live the life you want.
The Lord…your Lord makes the final judgement…
…not me or anybody else.

The cool swag award has to go to Hovi Hov. Jigga. But the only cats i would have even put in the category would have been Denzel, Jay, Billy Dee, Marvin Gaye, and Ali. Barack doesn’t have the cool swag in my opinion. In that picture on the cover he has it but that is what they made it during the photo shoot. Sam Jackson get the Hell out of here. Prince nah lol nah

Its cool to be a actor, singer or rapper and come across as someone who is cool. But the coolest dude hands down is Barack Obama. This Brother is running for one of the highest offices in the world and he has defeated the Clintons and a bunch of angry Anglo-saxon females. He has endured slander, propoganda, lies, racism, an attack on his “Baby’s Mamma” and not to mention the anti-black media machine Fox News. After going through all of the crap these groups have put him through and to continue to smile and dodge all of that bulls#!t, makes him one cool MF. Most people no matter race, religion or gender have pulled off the gloves and started shooting, slapping, punching, cutting, kicking and biting. I would have started cursing and talking about their mammas and s#!t. Obama is cool as a F^*k!ng Siberian breeze in the winter.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go home and put some water in Buc Nasty’s mamma’s dish, Good Evening

Your entire blog is very well put…
There’s one point I’d like to highlight…
“..not to mention the anti-black media machine Fox News.”
Savvy…
You hit it right on the head!!
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago, when I blogged on “Ignat Money”? I asked the bloggers to pay close attention to the same types of things happening with ALL TV news networks. It’s unbelievable, yet very real and has been going on for a long time. News networks are biased.
The savvy listener can not only figure it out, but can be educated and entertained by it all.
Any thoughts friends?

hov got that arrogant ass swag that is so sick to death. i love him….i love him (put ya diamonds up)…but prince…omg.. he is so ecentric, that mf is the epitome of cool…yeah he had us fucking making love….and since my name is nikki, darling nikki was my damn anthem.
July 8, 2008 at 5:15 am
@ Rocksee: How could I forget our “Ignant Money” discussion. Yeah, you found the article that helped get some of the heat off of Kimora’s, “Moon Melon” head a$$. You were fair and unopinioated about that one. That was classy

@ Rocksee: You was right when you said what you said!!!!!!
I would like to quote you when you said:
It’s unbelievable, yet very real and has been going on for a long time. News networks are biased.

I agree, we need to be able to sift through the s#!t and know exactly what these people, organizations and networks are trying to feed us. The thing that angers me the most is, if you realy pay attention to the idiots (Bill O’Rielly, that H/N Juan Williams and the rest of the Lench Mob) reporting these lies. You will find that they are of low intelligence. And nothing makes me more angry than a dumb person trying to bulls#!t me like Im stupid. I mean they must be smoking crack, because they will try to sell us anything. They get on T.V tell lies and try to make you look like you are dumb, crazy or dillusional all in an effort to discredit and ruin you if you dont agree with them. Will someone tell these D!c#head$, thats called a dictatorship. I dont care who you are, you cant pour syrup on a pile of S#!T and tell me its pancakes. And if you do try to play me like that I will whoop your a$$. But from now on, we need to keep our eyes and ears open and our minds clear because we are getting ready to see these people play dirty like never before. There are people that would rather see the world end than to have Obama as their leader.

Billy D is known for beer commercials and Star Wars… I never quite figured that one out… Ya ladies love some funny sh!t…
LOL…

@ Beatbanga77- Billy’s dam texturizer that he had in his hair back in the day and his sensuality which he displayed in the movie “Lady Sings the Blues” and “Mahogany” made the ladies throw their panties at him!
July 8, 2008 at 5:18 pm
In other words, he was a lady’s gentleman, a princess’s prince, etc. etc.
Now a days we are lucky if we get anyone to hold the door for us (I usually don’t have that problem, cause sometimes goodlooking men who are strangers pay for my food or give me free ish when I am at the store of course I say thank you and they watch me as I wave to them and I get in my man’s car) and still be willing to kick another nucca’s a$$ for you at the club!
