This post isnât to body shame because they look good either way. But this is for all the women and girls, the womenâs husbands and boyfriends, etc, comparing their bodies to the women they see on IG with millions of followers and glorified. Donât feel insecure if you donât look like the photos on the right. It took those women some time and investment too.
Thank you!!! @theblackmanonthemoon like everybody mad at her for no reason. Shouldnât she get credit for her own song? People donât understand business.
Yaâll show up to weddings in white dresses as well?
Thatâs what Iâm sayin he shouldâve either waited or atleast hit her team and try to approach it differently. Maybe work out another official remix. Instead he was marketing it and attempting to make money off of it. Not like just some random loosie itâs going to be ona mixtape that will be streamed and he was dropping a video on YouTube so he would be monetizing views.
From a fanâs perspective it looks like sheâs âmadâ but if you are a lil but more savvy you can understand why DJ Mustard and his label was like ânah, niggaâ. I feel like they wouldâve let Booâd up rock because thatâs been out and been a smash for a bit but a single hat they are trying to work as the follow up before her debut?? Nigga pleassseeee. I wouldâve got em wit that cease and desist quick! I understand tho I mean thatâs the game and how he came up because heâs done that with other records but he picked he wrong one.
As if gender reveals werenât already fucking cringe worthy enough, itâs so fucking sad seeing these videos where niggas are SO excited to bring another âmanâ into this world but devastated when they find out theyâre having a girl. Itâs truly disgusting.
Then I feel even more sorry for the women. Cause itâs Like wow.
Imagine having a baby by a dumb ass ignorant ass childish ass man who gets upset and throws a tantrum because HIS sperm created a girl. Tragic.
Just throw the whole fucking man away.
Your baby is innocent and a blessing and y'all need to stop looking at having girls as âkarmaâ or âpaybackâ or âpunishmentâ for the fucked up shit youâve done in your life to women youâve come across. Grow the fuck up.
This is why we as women have GOT to start having the conversation about us taking more responsibility for the men we CHOOSE to procreate with. But I digress.
Quincy Jones has run with Frank Sinatra. Michael Jackson. Malcolm X. Prince. Even Tupac. And the 84-year-old music legend has a tale to go with every famous name.
Did you ever see that thing with James Brown?â
Oh yeah.
Jones is referring to the legendary eveningâAugust 20, 1983â when both Michael Jackson and Prince attended a James Brown show at the Beverly Theater in Los Angeles.
âThatâs heavy. He made a damn fool out of himself, didnât he?â says Jones, and the star he is referring to is Prince. Jackson had film of what happened that night. âPrince told Michael heâd kill him if he showed it to anybody,â Jones explains, but one way or another, time-coded raw footage of what took place that night eventually surfaced. First Brown invites Jackson to the stage. Jackson sings a few phrases, spins, moonwalks, then embraces Brown and can be seen whispering to him. Brown then calls for Prince. After a delay, Prince gets onstage, takes a guitar, jams a little, then strips off his shirt. He does some mic-stand tomfoolery, dances a little more, then nearly tumbles into the audience trying to pull down an oversize streetlamp prop. It was a superstar face-off that has often been seen as a triumph for Michael Jackson, and a rare humiliation for Prince.
He spoke to Michael after the show?
âOh yeah, he spoke to him. He waited in the limousine to try and run over him and La Toya and his mother.â
How do you know Prince was trying to run him over?
âHe knew. Michael knows shit. He was there. He said that was his intention.â
Michael told you that?
âYeah.â
What did he think of what Prince had done onstage that night?
âIt was just very obvious what the hell happenedâmade a damn fool out of himself. Michael went up there, in 40 seconds, sang I love you I love you. Then they went up-tempo and he did a little dance and did the moonwalk and whispered in [James Brownâs] ear, âCall Prince upâI dare him to follow me.â â
A further landmark in their uneasy rivalry came when Jones suggested to Jackson that Prince duet with him on the title track of his Bad album. âSo we invited [Prince] over to Michaelâs house at Hayvenhurst. He came in and he had an overcoat on, and he had a big white box labeled camille. He called Michael âCamille.â â Prince, it seems, had brought a gift for his host. âThe box had all kinds of stuffâsome cuff links with Tootsie Rolls on them. Michael was scared to deathâhe thought there was some voodoo in there. I wanted to take it, because I knew Michael was gonna throw it away.â
What happened to it?
âHe threw it away. In the garbage.â
How did the conversation about doing the song together go?
Well, we sat at a table that held 24 people, at his house, family table, I said, âMichaelâŚSmelly, you sit over there so he doesnât feel like weâre ganging up on him.â It started off funny. Michael said, âI never been to Minnenapolis.â [Prince] said"âsnapping angrilyââ 'Itâs Minneapolis!â Oh GodâŚman, this is not going too well. Then Janet went by. [Prince] said, 'Relax your lips, girl.â And it was not going well, thatâs for sure. Then we went upstairs, and he saw the chimpanzee and the snake, he said, 'Now, thatâs interesting.â And then he says to me, 'He doesnât need me on thisâitâs going to be a hit anyway.â Which is true.â
âHell no!â Jones gives me a look, a kind of incredulity that is some mixture of horror and bewilderment. âYou see me with an 84-year-old woman? Are you crazy?â
So you turned down Marilyn Monroe?
âLetâs not talk about it. Come on, man. We killed it. You know, I came up with the two wildest motherfuckers on the planet. Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra. Come on. They were good-looking guys, they had all the girls they wanted, and they showed you how to deal with it. So did Rubirosaâthe king of the playboys. (11) Amazing man. What a guy. Eleven-inch dong.

Or heâll refer to the time Steven Spielberg showed him the first abandoned prototype for E.T.: âThey made that little monster, and he looked too much like a brother. Thatâs why the second one had blue eyes.
ââ
Do you like any of the people who are big right now?
"Yeah, I love Kendrick Lamar, I love Bruno Mars, I love Drake, I love Ludacris, I love Common. Mary J. Blige. Jennifer Hudson.â
But, say, Taylor Swift, I guess, is the biggest pop star on the planet in terms of sales right now and this week is about to sell over a million copies of her new album. Do you like her?
Jones makes a face, somewhere between disapproval and disdain.
Whatâs wrong with it?
âWe need more songs, man. Fucking songs, not hooks.â
Some people consider her the great songwriter of our age.
He laughs. âWhatever crumbles your cookie.â
ââ
Every time weâd go to Detroit, at the Majestic hotel, standing in front, with his Italian shit on and amber glasses: Malcolm X. Detroit Red. Thatâs where we bought our dope. It was before he went to prison.â
Youâd buy off him?
"Yeah! He was the dope dealer. Thatâs how he went to prison.â
So you would personally buy drugs off Malcolm X?
âPersonally?â He nods. âShit, everybody in the band bought it!
ââ
Ray Charles reportedly drank a bottle every day. Jones says Charles was âthe most independent blind man you could ever witnessâheâd go cross the lights, go to the supermarket, shop, count his change no help. No goddamn canes and no cups, nothing like thatâhis mother wouldnât let him do it. And the only time he got blind was when the girls were around, and heâd start walking into the walls and shit so theyâd feel sorry for him and help him.â (Jones adds that Stevie Wonder also uses this technique.)
