The Drama Chronicles: "Blame It On Beyonce"
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Okay, I know the week just started… and Lawd or Lawd I really do not want to go into 'Vibe' magazine overdrive, but the media glare is on the brand new issue of the Quincy Jones-founded magazine.
Is it because it’s the very first issue from newly-planted editor-in-chief Danyel Smith?
Or is it just following in the tradition of the magazine's long-lived love affair with the mainstream media (which includes well documented high dramas such as rap superstars accosting editors (NO NAMES), and award show presentations gone awry (DEFINITELY NO NAMES)?
It could be anything, honestly.
I just copped my new issue of this hotly-anticipated periodical... and I am gagging!
First, Bobby Brown trumps Christina Aguilera for the cover (with an out-take image from the publicity campaign from his wildly popular 2005 reality TV show 'Being Bobby Brown'). See previous post.
And then, DMX is up in there… carrying on.
The former platinum selling rap icon barks up much controversy on range of topics, including leaving Def Jam, doing reality TV, his drug/drinking problem and of course an airport run-in with his hip-hop nemesis Ja Rule.
(Does anyone even know why DMX hate Ja Rule so much? It's really deep-seated. I wonder why. It's so old and tired, too.)
Dude is a walking sound bite, for real.
I may need to revisit his recent BET reality show 'Soul of a Man,' afterall.
Footwear choices of two of the music industry's most powerful figures were the most amusing musings.
"L.A. Reid … had on black velvet Chinese slippers with gold beads," the former Earl Simmons (his legal name) tells 'Vibe' writer Toshitaka Kondo. "When he came into the office … he came in with wind, so his scarf was like [blowing in the wind]."
Ummmmmm. Black velvet slippers!!! Gold Beads!!! Scarf!!!
Oh hizelle to the nizelle!!! (a new Karuism mixing Snoop with Whitney)
"He may get slapped when I see him," the often-arrested hip-hopper added about the fashion savvy Island/Def Jam Records chief.
And if that's not enough: X, as he is affectionately known, makes mention of Jay-Z wearing flip flops.
"It's Beyonce," he charged. "He's a sucker for love."
"Thugs don't do flip-flops," he continued. "Yo, no matter how much vacation I'm on -- we been to St. Thomas, Bahamas, all the little islands-- I don't wear no flip-flops. I'm never that comfortable, ever, not in my house."
I'll end this post like Carrie Bradshaw typed her catch-phrases into the laptop on 'Sex & The City':
Has hip-hop gone flip-flop?

DMX you is funny to me becuase why is you worry about what Beyonce and Jay-Z? See that shit there make you look all kinda funny looking worry about an other man business besides your business. DMX gone make a business of your own. I was thinking you was in the God thing? But that is a good thing that you is into a God thing hell everybody is but my point is that so what she got Jay-Z wearing Flip Flops. As long you don't wear them what that got to do with you? Say that Jay-Z had change and that he is a Sucker for love. I am like Tupac Change there is nothing wrong with Change. DMX what I got to say is that Stop worry about a other man business and worry about your business. It make you look dumb a$$ becuase you worry about a other man business besides your owns.

I did like DMX until his getto dumb ass half reality show came out. He needs to tell the whole truth. His nose constantly ran he forever sniffled and he looked like the cocain was draining out minute by minute. He told half the story how he did use drugs or his brother tricked him with a joint. well hell he must of been loke anyn other first time user that keept on sniffing. It was all on his face his angered demeanor, road rage and the need to shoot of guns in tghe wild. I guess he was trying to kill that little cocaine man that was on his shoulder calling calling calllllling take another sniff. Now I just heard this story in BAYAREA radio ststion KMEL 106 about the flip flops. Well that nigga (DMX) need to wear flip flpos so that corn can dry up have he every heard of DR Scholls corn remover. Take your 20,000 you have left and invest in toe work and save some for that man (your wife) to get A FACE LIFTTTTTTTTT.
