The Top 10 Worst Moments in Black Music of 2008

nOvaMatic |  12/11/2008 at 12:00 PM 

It’s all fun and games until someone says something stupid, or continues singing after their brother passes out on stage. Today we’re counting down The Top 10 Worst Moments in Black Music, and most of it isn’t very funny at all. More like SAD. Perhaps when we do this list next year, we’ll all be able to engage in hearty communal schadenfreude instead of our side-eyes doing the jitterbug.

#10: ARETHA FRANKLIN VS. EVERYBODY

2008 was quite the year for this legend wasn’t it? I think maybe she released a Christmas album, right? At any rate, Aretha Franklin kept us in stitches not only by somehow murdering “Touch My Body” (which was already D.O.A.), and drawing the ire of PETA (who, admittedly, picks on rich people for GP) but with her well-publicized beef with Beyoncé and Tina Turner. Now we all know how highly Bey regards Tina, so it is without question that she would refer to her as “The Queen”.

Aretha responded from her Clock Tower in the Haunted Forest that the Grammy writers and Bey were courting controversy, which sounds more like a threat than an observation. Then Beyoncé’s father Joe Jackson Mathew Knowles told Aretha to sit down somewhere, while Tina Turner offered “Oh that crazy ReRe always got jokes!” And then Aretha told Tina to go to Hell, right before pretending Beyoncé didn’t exist. Oh, what hell you have wrought, Beyoncé!

9. THE DRU HILL “FIGHT”

We may have been born yesterday but we know a PR stunt when we see it. Dru Hill had us talking about them for a good 36 hours when they appeared on 92Q in B-More, announcing they were reuniting with the original line-up. It was all peace and love until Woody said “Jesus is way more awesome than Sisqo, so I am leaving the group!”

Then Sisqo was all “Why you ain’t say that before we got ON THE AIR WHERE EVERYONE COULD WITNESS IT AND ANTICIPATE OUR NEXT RELEASE?!”

He then proceeded to stomp about and wave his arms frantically because Woody had also hidden his pot o’gold. Weeks later Dru Hill held a competition where they auditioned new members and ended up choosing some dude they already knew. Then a new Dru Hill song came out and everyone hated it. Jesus is looking real good now, huh Sisqo?

8. MY BROTHER’S BURDEN IS NOT MY OWN.

We take no pleasure in seeing Jojo Hailey collapse on stage, because we love him. We also love his crazy brother K-Ci, who heard Jojo hit the stage with a loud thud, turned and saw him lying there, then kept right on singing. We understand that you are supposed to perform through a fall (hell, all three members of Destiny’s Child taught us that), but only when someone is able to get right back up and might not be dead. He didn’t even have the decency to pack some smelling salts!

7. OTHERWISE LEGENDARY DIVAS WORKING WITH… THESE GUYS

These are the ladies that have provided us with countless years of amazing music and have typically steered away from the low-brow. Not in 2008! We don’t begrudge any singer the opportunity to appeal to a wider audience and receive a check in the process, but this got way out of hand this year.

First Mariah said “To Hell with the full range of my voice” and employed the ubiquitous T-Pain for “Migrate.” Then Whitney Houston released a buzz single with T-Pain’s law-abiding mentor Akon.

But none of that could compare to Plies‘ “Bust It Baby,” which was already a steaming pile on its own before some genius named Jermaine Dupri had to add his poor, put-upon girlfriend Janet Jackson to the remix. We are just counting the days until Celine Dion does a record with Paul Wall. Ugh!

6. T-BABY: THE PRIDE OF DETROIT
I mean, what can you say, really?

(Editors Update – “T-Baby Is NOT THE PRIDE OF DETROIT “- Detroit)

5. L.A. TIMES JOURNALIST PLAYS HIMSELF

Haha @ Chuck Phillips! We were already dumbfounded that, after all these years, he managed to find a way to cleverly re-invoke the Tupac/Bad Boy rivalry and get plenty of media attention. Only thing was, his claim that Diddy had intel that Tupac would be attacked (and eventually shot) back in 1994 was based on forged documents that didn’t even look authentic!

See, this is what happens when you want attention: someone else that wants more attention will exploit you for their own wicked purposes. Besides, there are so many more relevant and recent reasons to pick on Diddy.

4. DMX DOESN’T WATCH THE NEWS

Not that we expect much in the way of common sense when it comes to DMX, but geez! You would think once we had a viable Black candidate running for the highest office in the country that ol’ Earl would wise up for, like, five minutes? Upon learning that not only a Black man was in the running but that his name was Barack Obama, X responded with “What the f*ck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?” Le sigh. That would be funny if (1) DMX’s sense of humor wasn’t dripping in nignorance, and (2) it’s actually not funny. So he must’ve meant what he said. He was also unimpressed that a person of color was running for office (and by all accounts, at the time, had a good chance of winning), stating: “What, they gon’ give a dog a bone?

There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that sh*t a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the f*ckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now.” Oh, we get it. DMX doesn’t watch the news because he’s tired of seeing himself on it.

3. “DEFINE TEENAGER.”

It’s all downhill from here, people. We knew that if R. Kelly was found innocent of various counts of child pornography that he would continue to bless us with insipid ghetto chickenhead track after insipid ghetto chickenhead track, employing every hood motif from hair-braiding and mambo sauce to E-Z Widers.

It makes sense that he would sit down with BET after his acquittal–a network that is run by Negroes so dense that a Black man running for president wasn’t enough reason to balance their programming with more news and current events. At any rate, Touré, who seems to have the worst luck with interviewees (see next item), pointedly asked R. Kelly “Do you like teenage girls?” R. responded with “When you say ‘teenage’ how old are we talking?” Cut to: Touré wondering if he’s being paid enough to endure this bullsh*t. R. went on to say that he has some nineteen-year-old friends. That he likes to pee on.

2. “SHOUT-OUT TO THE SLAVEMASTERS!”

Soulja Boy is The Worst Person in The World for many, many reasons. Up until recently, we thought his phenomenal level of ignorance was simply a product of his fame. Sometimes when folks get famous, they become arrogant because of some misguided sense of invincibility, then the arrogance becomes vast stupidity and madness.

We prefer madness because sometimes it provides a hearty chuckle. But stupidity is a no-no, especially when it comes at the expense of our ancestors. Touré, for some inexplicable reason, found himself asking Soulja Boy a question that required critical thought and consideration–functions this young man is astoundingly incapable of: “What historical figure do you most hate?” Since Soulja Boy didn’t understand what a “historical figure” was, Touré listed a number of examples–”Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters.”

This resulted in Soulja Boy declaring “Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we’d still be in Africa. We wouldn’t be here to get this ice and tattoos.” What’s next, an instructional dance song called “Crank That Apartheid”?

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – A U.S. soldier who deserted his unit to avoid returning to Iraq has applied for asylum in Germany, saying the Iraq war was illegal and that he could not support the “heinous acts” taking place.

Andre Shepherd, 31, who served in Iraq between September 2004 and February 2005 as an Apache helicopter mechanic in the 412th Aviation Support Battalion, has been living in Germany since deserting last year.

“When I read and heard about people being ripped to shreds from machine guns or being blown to bits by the Hellfire missiles I began to feel ashamed about what I was doing,” Shepherd told a Frankfurt news conference Thursday.

“I could not in good conscience continue to serve.”

Shepherd, originally from Cleveland, Ohio and ranked as an army specialist, applied for asylum in Germany Wednesday, said Tim Huber from the Military Counseling Network, a non-military group which is assisting him.

According to U.S. law, soldiers who desert during a time of war can face the death penalty.

The soldier said he was particularly hopeful he would be granted asylum in Germany, a staunch opponent of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, due to the legacy of the post-war trials of Nazi officials, notably in Nuremberg in 1945-1949.

“Here in Germany it was established that everyone, even a soldier, must take responsibility for his or her actions, no matter how many superiors are giving orders,” he said.

Shepherd, who enlisted in January 2004, is only the second U.S. soldier to have applied to Germany for asylum “in a similar situation,” said Claudia Moebus from the government’s department for migration. The earlier application was later withdrawn.

The specialist was posted to Germany in 2005 where he undertook desk jobs, but he gradually began questioning the justification for the Iraq war and began worrying he would be sent back to serve there, said Huber.

“That’s when he went AWOL,” he added.

Earlier this year, Jeremy Hinzman, an American who applied for refugee status in Canada after deserting the U.S. Army when he received orders to go to Iraq, said he would appeal a deportation order returning him to the United States.

Another U.S. deserter, Robin Long, was deported from Canada in July and sent to jail in Colorado.

Mannn the economy is really showing the raggedy side of things. Who would adopt Mikaeel’s Giraffes’s and not have a few miles for them to run around on; as they did when they were at Neverland ? For Shame…

PETA SEEKS MIJAC’S HELP WITH FORMER GIRAFFES:

Animal rights group says animals are being mistreated at their new home.

*TMZ.com is reporting that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is upset over the current treatment of giraffes that were once owned by Michael Jackson, and have sought the entertainer’s help in trying to make things right.

During the downward spiral of Neverland Ranch a year ago, a large portion of Jackson’s pets – including four giraffes – were sold to an Arizona couple that wanted to start an animal sanctuary.

PETA claims the giraffes are stuck in cages barely as wide as the animals are tall, reports TMZ. They wrote the King of Pop a letter asking him to help pressure the owners into doing something more humane.

The couple that owns the animals says the giraffes have been moved to their new 150 x 150 ft. digs — and the animals will have an even bigger space to roam when their 185 acre sanctuary is up and running.

and on a different side of his head – his money ish is DEEEEpppp sohh had this lil tid bit,

Michael Jackson’s finances have been under the media microscope this week thanks largely to the lawsuit levied by a Bahraini Sheik he has recently settled. On Monday (November 24)  UK’s Daily Mail published an in-depth look at Mike’s money troubles that drew gossip guru Perez Hilton to dub MJ as a “millionaire living like a billionaire”. Just a few of Jacko’s ultra-expensive habits are listed below:

- Visits to a “brain guru” for $300,000, ice cream, $400 of Body Shop lotions, toys and a Ferrari, all paid for by the Sheik.

- $135,000 on bills

- $2.2 million on legal fees

- Staff salaries at $4 million a year

- $1.2 million yearly to children Paris‘ and Prince’s biological mother Debbie Rowe

- Living expenses and care for the children’s nanny, Grace Rwaramba, whom they call mom, who suffers from lupus

- $61,000 for cream to treat his “vitiligo” (skin condition)

- $25 million to the family of the boy who accused him of molestation

- $3 million a year to maintain Neverland and its staff…which he no longer possesses the deeds to

- During his trial in Santa Barbara in 2005, it was said that Jackson was spending about $30 million more than he was making

Rebel Talking… Michael needs to suck it up and either finish that album he’s been working on the last three years or make nice with Jermaine and the rest of his brothers and go on tour before he’s too old and frail to moonwalk anymore.

and speaking of cages that are too small, Remy Ma wants out, Suuurreee.

News: Remy Ma Wants Out Of Jail, Lawyer Files Appeal

Written by Cyrus Langhorne

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:53:46 Z

An attorney for incarcerated New York rapper Remy Ma has filed an appeal requesting to have her eight year prison sentence dropped.

(Ed Note – That is the most unbelievable line in this whole story, Dropped, and she point blank shot this woman who lived and testified. co’mon Remy)

According to TMZ, Remy’s lawyer pointed out various flaws in her recent summer trial when she was charged and placed behind bars for the shooting of acquaintance, Makeda Barnes-Joseph.

“THE TRIAL COURT’S ORDER FORBIDDING DEFENSE COUNSEL FROM ARGUING DURING SUMMATION THAT MAKEDA JOSEPH WAS SHOT DURING A STRUGGLE FOR THE GUN DENIED MS. SMITH A FAIR TRIAL,” a document reads. “MS. SMITH WAS UNFAIRLY PREJUDICED BY THE INCLUSION IN THE INDICTMENT OF THE COUNTS REGARDING THE VIOLENT GANG ASSAULT AT THE PLAYER’S CLUB, AS TO WHICH THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF HER COMPLICITY, BUT WHICH LIKELY COLORED THE JURY’S CONSIDERATION OF THE REMAINING COUNTS.”

In addition to claims of bias during the case, her attorney would like her possession of a weapon charge dropped.

“THE GUN POSSESSION CHARGE MUST BE DISMISSED BECAUSE PENAL LAW 265.03 UNQUALIFIEDLY BANS THE POSSESSION OF HANDGUNS OUTSIDE THE HOME,” it reads. “OR PLACE OF BUSINESS AND IS THEREFORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.”

As previously reported by SOHH, the former Terror Squad member turned herself in to New York police in July 2007 for the shooting of Joseph outside a nightclub. Remy was later sentenced to an eight year bid last May and is currently beind held at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in Bedford Hills.

and on an even crazier thug tangent, bigsweetie is sayin one time ganked him for his icing.. whhooooo you say it was Phat Bwoy ??

Suge Knight Cries Foul, Blames Cops For Missing Bling

Written by Cyrus Langhorne

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:46:48 Z

Just over a week after filing a lawsuit against rap star Kanye West over a missing diamond stud earring, Suge Knight is now blaming California authorities for another case of stolen jewelry.

According TMZ, the former record label mogul has pointed the finger at Barstow police in his U.S. Bankruptcy case. Suge claims – in a an incient that hapened three years ago – while being transferred from police headquarters to West Valley Detention Center to the California Institution for Men, his earring was stolen

As previously reported by SOHH, the former Death Row Records owner recently sued Kanye for over $135,00 stemming from a gun shot wound and robbery attained at the producer’s pre-MTV Video Music Awards party, also back in ‘05.

In related news, Suge also recently made headlines after being charged with three felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from a physical confrontation with his girlfriend last summer.

Aretha & Diddy Could hook YOU up;

*How about this? Lady Soul and Diddy are hooking up! No, not that way, but to launch a new “American Idol” style show.

That’s right, according to WENN, Aretha Franklin and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs are combining forces to find talented R&B and hip-hop stars. But, unlike “AI,” the winner of their new venture will be decided by them – not the public. “The country will not vote. It will just be me and Diddy voting for who the next star will be,” says Franklin. Look for the show sometime in 2009.

That’s Mondays Mess, now go start something
