Things that Make You Go Hmmm

Here are a few moments from this week that made me say ... Why should I care?!


I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW: Anybody catch that big story about Nas and Kelis splitting up? Riiiight. Who cares?! I know they've been together for a minute and are among the big couples in music but so what! They're getting divorced like 41% of Americans who get married. Now I guess she'll go back to using her milkshake to bring boys to the yard (and feed that new baby on the way) and hopefully Nas will get focused and create another album like Illmatic (but don't fall in that auto tune trap tho). Sucks she's expecting a baby in July but next story, please.


LEFT THE BAND: Flipping through the channels and could hardly believe it when I saw The Rise and Fall of Danity Kane, Making the Band Special. I paused for a moment in disbelief. Are you serious?! Wait, when was their rise? Yeah, I know the group debuted two albums at number one and had the hit "Damaged", but yet I still question MTV for running this special (okay, I actually question MTV for a lot of their programming decisions). Isn't this a behind-the-music-E-true-hollywood-story-too-soon? These girls broke up in the fall of last year and are beginning solo projects and now we're hearing about their rise and fall through a special? Why? I guess some teenage girls were just curious and wondering about the reunion album, so MTV had to cater to their fans and put some more money in Diddy's pockets. Thanks MTV. Maybe in six months MTV will do, "Danity Kane, where they are now". Can’t wait or I can.


ROCK BOTTOM: Why did they give this chick Daisy a show?! I'm convinced that Vh1 is simply trying to beat out their last horrible show. The Vh1 execs need a serious intervention before things get worse. Daisy of Love is rock bottom for a channel that I thought had already hit rock bottom with its programming (well unless they do a spin off show with that dude Dropout that got booted on the first episode of Daisy of Love). For those that don't know, Daisy was on Rock of Love Season 2 and according to Vh1, "she is back by popular demand this time staring in her own show." Popular demand?! Damn. Vh1 should stop. Please stop giving folks airtime with this garbage. Remember when music channels played music videos?

  1. I couldnt agree more...i loved nas and kelis together but its really and oh well situation...

    after the original Badboy DA BAND on MTV w/ dylan sarah etc. i couldnt get into any of those badboy bands...the result is inevitable the band will break up...they are designed to break up.

    VH1 i mean seriously they need to go back to popup video its just ridiculous marlarkey thats redundant
