Keyshia Cole Doing It Up w/ New Video and NAACP Award Nomination

| 251 Comments

They're spending a little bit more money on Keyshia Cole these days. It's amazing what the exposure of a Kanye tour and a hot award show performance (Vibe Awards 2005) can do for you.

Keyshia's latest video for the single "Love" premiered on BET via one of those "Access Granted" specials last night. Clearly her hustle has paid off. The video featured actor Tyrese Gibson (good promotion for his new movie) and more wardrobe changes than Diana Ross at the 1986 Grammy's.

I gotta admit I like that stank that Keyshia adds to her bitch's brew. It's like she's just doing her, paying these other chicks no mind and it's kinda real. I wanna see where this goes. She also was just nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Ok, now they pushing it. The girl can sing but there is no evidence of a girl scout uniform anywhere. So simmer downah!

Check Keyshia's live performance of "Love" on 106 & Park.

And oh yea, Jamie Foxx is still number one on Billboard. Big whoop.

Keisha Cole is maddd ghetto, but she is too thin to win and too light to fight. What is that about. It seems her bark is bigger than her bite.

but she can sang :)

Keshia can sang she kind of reminds me of a young Mary J. Blige, you can feel her pain when she sings. However someone should get her to charm school Early! because the girl is majorly ghetto, on the vibe awards the comment she made about Ciara was totally unnecessary. Ciara can't sang at all but she had Luda on a track so, i guess that is what made her hot. Be happy with your success and don't be jealous of anyone else because jealousy is a negative thing.

Glad to hear I am not the only one who thinks Keisha is too ghetto for her own good. Just hearing her talk makes me think she comes from a neglegent ghetto mom who is probably a crackhead. I'd like to see the label invest in improving her image. Furthermore she aight, but Mary she ain't. I wish people would stop comparing the two.

How can yall possibly get madd at her saying a comment towards ciara? What has ciara done for R&b music? NOTHING! she is just paving the way for future un-talented people to come in the R&b industry and fuck it up like she's doing.I hear alot of people comparing ciara to janet YOU MUST BE CRAZY to think that she can even last half of how long janet's been in the game.She's a janet/aaliyah wannabee so as far as her dissing ciara who gives a fuck!

I like keyshia but yall saying it like yall want the girl to just change.Why change because your getting a lil money in your pocket?Im sorry but i wouldnt change for nobody.Be yourself!!!! thats whats wrong with most of these chicks today thiere record labels creating images for them thats nothing like them.Just be yourself!!!

just AIGHT....that's all she is.

Honestly, the reason why Keyshia Cole is hot is because the girls on the block can easily relate to her. She's the kind of chick you might find at the corner store buying a vanilla dutch, a Tahitian treat.

She's real, not even from what she sings about, but how she carries herself. Her demeanor is true, honest and carefree of her competition.

Now, if she can just stay away from those drugs like every other female artist she'll be ok.

We don't want her to change over night Dymon because their is a time and place for everything. When you chillin in the hood with your friends you can talk and be ignorant just as much as you want. But when you get on national tv and present yourself like that. It is proper etiquette. Even Mary with through a point where she was tacky and unpolished. One because of the drugs and two because she didn't have the knowledge. I read an article where Keisha said that her mother was on drugs and that she lived with a foster family until she ran away to live with her boyfriend. She is being herself true enough, but timing is everything.

Yall bitches need to stop hating on KEYSHIA COLE because she is my favorite singer and Her mom is not a crackhead yall just mad because she is the hottest chick in the game and she has the best breakup songs Sharita TUcker Philly All DAy

FOR REAL, FEMALES ESPECIALLY CAN RELATE TO HER. SHE AINT SUGAR COATING SHIT LIKE SOME OF THOSE OTHERS. SHE IS HELLA GEHETTO, BUT OVER TIME SHE WILL CHANGE. WHEN MARY 1ST CAME OUT SHE WAS GHETTO, SHE STILL IS BUT NOT ON THAT LEVEL. SHE KINDA REMIND ME OF A YOUNG MARY

Keyshia cole is the shit who cares how she acts or look i sure dont.Homegirl can sang and everythang she sangs about i can relate to and so can the majority of the girls who live on my block here in brooklyn newyork.My fav songs of her album is
-I shoulda cheated
-You changed
-Love
-Situations
-I changed my mind
I think each and every female who has been in a relationship wether its the good things or the bad things can relate to keyshia cole.She is one of the realest artists out here today i havent felt an artist this way since monica.Everyone cant be the "Beyonce" oh im perfect type we all have flaws,remember that...

Boobie shut tha fuck up before I tittie fuck you

nevermindwhoiam, this is for u:
"Who are you nigga?"

I just wanna run my johnson between those ginormous tig ole bitties of Keyshia Cole's. I'd bone the sh!t outta that hoodrat. WORD TO YOUR MOTHER!

i feel like keyshia cole is doing her thing and everybody needs to stop hating on her becuase she is doing her thing i don't what the big deal is anyway i don't think that she is that she is ghetto at all. i like i female that keeps it real and doesn't put on a show for the cameras so you can she the real person instead of a front of the camera image.

according to the King Mag that she is on the cover of Keyshia's mother is a crackhead that stole her rolex. But hell if her upbringing didn't stop her haters on a blog won't either

Mary J lives on through Keyshia Cole. And Ciara is wack, Keyshia is being Keyshia and that's what I love about her. The same way with Mary J , she's a ride or die chick.

she is the type of chic you can have a fist fight with then 10 muinutes have wonderful make up sex.she is gully love her album cant lie.the second comming of mary j.plus everytime i see her perform she is singing live.now thats a good look.

she is the type of chic you can have a fist fight with then 10 muinutes have wonderful make up sex.she is gully love her album cant lie.the second comming of mary j.plus everytime i see her perform she is singing live.now thats a good look.

BXCONNECT- I appreciate the fact that you are a fan, but the type of chick to have a FIST fight with?? What type of point is that??The fact that that was the first thing to come to your mind shows that this is something you can't control. Not "she's the type who would fight a chick for me", or "she's the type that would stand up to her dude", but "she's the type you can have a fist fight with..." Wow. How about "she's the type of women I would like to be down with me." How 'bout that??

I'll beat her ass!

Keyshia's remark towards Ciara was totally uncalled for.

There's a difference between being 'real' and being a 'real bitch'.

And before I forget.

She is NO Mary J.

Not even close.

Now Fantasia, she can SANG.

She puts that real 'stank' on her vocals.

I swear I din't know her mom's was a crackhead when I made the comment above, but low any behold it's the fact. She really just carries herself like a young lady with no home training and mom's generally got to be off for you to present yourself to the world like that. Secondly, keeping it real by acting like a hood rat ain't cool. If you speak broken english and are then thrust in the public eye you need to clean yo shit up quick. That's real.

I LUV KEISHA, DO YO' THANG MAMA! FUCK THESE HATTERS, THEY AIN'T STOPPIN' U NONE. GET THAT MONEY MAYNE, AND KEEP THAT SHIT REAL FOR THE LADIES. REAL WOMEN DO REAL THANGS!

Tashauna is on point.

Stop being press, damn. Everytime somebody gives her props somebody always got to bring up her dissing other artist or bring up Fantasia. She didn't say anything negative about Ciara, and the topic isn't about Fantasia. Get over it. Fantasia is doing her thang, but that doesn't stop Keyshia from being talented in her own right.

As far as the Mary comparisons, they're are similarties; Mary said herself Keyshia is her greatest successor and is on her way to becoming a superstar.

to say Keyshia doesn't deserve a NAACP nomination is ridiculous. Her album is good and she can SANG! Chris Brown is nominated too. It's not that deep. If you wanna question why an artist is being nominated, question why Mariah is being nominated for an "NAACP" award?

Her going on tour with Kanye and performing at the Vibe awards has nothing to do with her label supporting her. They've been backing her since day one. IJWITBO and ISC weren't low buget.

I like Keyshia because she is just being herself. Her story and attitude is real unlike others. She doesn't care about appealing to the pop crowd.

@BX connect: Damn that some funny as shit! LMAO!

'As far as the Mary comparisons, they're are similarties; Mary said herself Keyshia is her greatest successor and is on her way to becoming a superstar.'

Like I said over in the newest Usher blog......

Celebs get the BEST cocaine.

Maybe Mary was high when she said that.

You guys are acting like mary is a god!!! and im sick and tired of it.YES mary j blige is a wonderful artist but come on mary's been through her ups and downs just like keyshia been through her ups and downs and i dont see yall critizing her.

Yall talk about keyshia's mother being a crackhead SO WHAT!!! the girl cant help that her mother was a crackhead, that was something out of her control so stop dissing the girl cuz her mother was a crackhead.Shid mary HERSELF,used to be a crackhead and she still on top today.

Some of yall need to leave people alone goddam everybody cant be perfect.We all cant grow up in a big house have everything given to you,have a perfect mother and daddy and so on,so on.Dam and why is uncle ciara keep coming up in this topic?

I personally don't see what the big deal about Keyshia Cole is. I think that she can't sing. She's just that ordinary black girl who can sing iight. Her voice is weak and shaky at times. She sounds really young and sounds like she's almost got it, but it's just not there. That comment that she did make about Ciara was very rude and uncalled for. She's always slick with words. When asked about the song "Here We Go Again" by Trina and Kelly, she said "I honestly thought I should've been on the track instead of Kelly but it's cool she did her thing" You know when someone says something to be smart but tries to cover it up. I really think that Keyshia Cole is very cocky and it's because she know she's real and doesn't give a fuck about what anybody says. That's cool but don't go thinking that you're the best and the realest. She was always like that as a child. When complimented about her beauty in an interview she said "I always thought I was pretty and like a model. I would get all dressed up just to go to the mall and my friends would be like why are you dressing up we just goin to the mall?"

Now before y'all go saying that I'm hating, even though I don't like Keyshia Cole, I will give her, her props. She's real and doesn't need to impress anyone and isn't ashamed of where she comes from. She doesn't or hasn't yet sold her body instead of her songs. Young girls like her can relate to her while boys can feel what she's saying. With that said, there's difference between just being loud, ghetto, rude, and ignorant and being, loud, funny, and ghetto at a certain time. She doesn't have to talk so proper or be fake but, she does need to learn how to be cool and calm and still say what she wants to say but in an understanding and ladylike way. It's cool that she's real but it's not cool that she's ghetto and has an attitude.

No one said Mary's 'shit don't stank'.

What she did at the Vide Awards proves that as far as Mary J has come, she's still got a little attitude problem.

As far a singing goes, Keyshia is NO WHERE near Mary J. Not even close.

I watched the live performance, and Keyshia just didn't impress. I DON'T SEE IT.

That's my issue. She's not that great of a singer to me.

FUCK THAT HOOD RAT. SHE'S THE TYPE OF CHICK YOU TAKE TO MCDONALDS FOR DINNER. CHAMPAGNE HOE WITH KOOL AID MONEY.

Or maybe she was being honest. Mary would know who can hold they're own beside her and who can't, and she gave the girl props. Usually when an artist is compared to her(Ashanti) she downplays it.

I keep seeing what Keyshia said about Ciara was uncalled for. What did she say? If you talking about her response to what LUDA said, how is that directed at Ciara. As far as the comment about her looks, I read the article, what was wrong with what she said. She thought she

I also heard the comment she made about Kelly. So because she likes the song. Artist have been asked before if there was a song that another artist recorded that they wish they recorded, and they would respond. That's no different than what Keyshia was doing. She was just saying how she wish she could have recorded the track. Damn, yall reachin.

When did she say she was the best and the realest? When did she say she was a great singer? Those are your words. She always says she is just doing her.

Keyshia isn't the problem - it's all those that take whatever she says and makes it into something that it's not.

Like Tash said, we don't all come from the same environment. Everybody doesn't want to be fake. And that's the problem today, you all are so use to plastic artist like Beyonce and Ashanti that when somebody is blunt and act like just about every chick around the way, you don't know how to act. People are backwards. All those that's saying she is ghetto, I bet she doesn't act or talk any different than the girls that you know and hang out with.

When Mary first came out it was the same thing. Now she is the artist every other artist wants to work with, and the artist every artist is influenced by.

Bottom line - let Keyshia live. If she is too "real" for you then turn on TRL and watch Lindsey and Hilary. Or watch the fake hood girls like Beyonce and Ashanti. At least Keyshia can back up her image and attitude.

I mean as far as her swagger, not singing when compare to Mary J. Also.
Fuck

NAACP - When the last time they help you survive college expenses with a scholarship? When the last time they do anything to the poor black community. Membership 150.00 per year. Dem niggas have not done what they spoke. Fuck Em, we don't need em. An Grammy is prestigous, a soul train award is prestigous, but no dame NAACP award.

BET - What happened to the glory days of Donnie Simpson, Joe Claire, Big Lez, The Old Big Tigger, ?????? Free & AJ was the last extension of BET's blackness. Ever since the sale of BET to Ted Turner and Viacom, it has lost all it's kool-aid flavor. What happened to the real good videos, the exclusive news, TEEN TALK with Amanda Lewis, BET was an entertainment and educational machine that help uplifted the community. Now it's just a wasteland of shifty ass program directors and sour ass employees.

PEACE

People compare her to Mary because of the image. Everybody saying she too ghetto. Thats exactly what they said about Mary when she first came out. Look how Mary dressed, acted, hell she was even using drugs and dating ghetto ass KC from Jodeci. Look at Mary now though. She's machored so much and everyone loves her. The same will happen with Keyisha Cole. Give her some time and you will see the image change over the years. No artist stays completely the same, whether hip hop or R&B.

Amen Glory i couldnt have said it better mami.Some of you need to read that Comment over and over thats the truth.

lil mama it was just a joke.dont take things so serious.i would never hit a woman.relax love.
mary j whitney and ms coles.what a dream collabo.it would take 3 years to do the album but the drama recording it would be historic.
mary i still love you girl.i know your still a weed head.its all good.

Renouncing and Denouncing Use of The N-word
Hereby calling black people to renounce and denounce the use of the n-word.


Whereas, the n-word is, and has been defined as a degrading, demeaning, indecent, and obscene term applied to and associated with African-American people in America, and

Whereas, the n-word is, and has been used as a label of inferiority by the racist oppressors of African-Americans, and to place African-Americans at the lowest level of humanity, and

Whereas, the use of the n-word,NO MATTER WHO USES IT, is the most harmful, enduring symbol of slavery and Black oppression, and

Whereas, there is no positive or productive meaning of the "N" word in the written or spoken language, and

Whereas, the use of the n-word by African-Americans helps to create, maintain and perpetuate a slave mentality, and a negative self-concept of African-American people, and

Whereas, we the undersigned believe that a positive self image and a positive self concept are essential to the growth, development and empowerment of African-Americans.

Nigga is obviously more than just a word because you can get into too much trouble if you use it. The word reeks of hatred. Blacks say that it is a term of endearment.


- If the white person at the drive through says "hi Nigga, may I take your order?" you would have a problem.


-If your white child's teacher sends home a note that says " Your child was a good Nigga today" you would have an issue.


- if your white boss tells you that you are doing a great job and he/she says " I wish I had more Niggas like you" there would be a problem.


SO WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY EACH OTHER AS NIGGAS?

I love Keyshia Cole, she is a great artist. She can sing her ass off, she makes good music. She deserves everything EXCEPT that NAACP Award.

They'll give anyone an NAACP Image Award. What has she done to deserve an Image Award?

That makes me think of the Boondock's R.Kelly Trial Episode, when R.kelly's lawyer acknowledged that 'Kells got an NAACP Image Award and he said "They just don't give anyone this award." Somebody yelled out "I got one."

HaHaHa!!!

Did anyone else notice that Keyshia Cole looks like Denis Rodman in that picture?

Keyshia Cole is off the chain and notin less! She been keepin it real for a minute and nobody can hate on her for that. She dont do all that computerized fake vocal mess and she aint wit the publicity stunts. she hood and she one of the best female singers in the game. not to mention shes always FULLY CLOTHED which is more than we can say for other talented singers (i.e. Beyonce nowadays...she my girl too but dag...cover up sweetie). KEYSHIA COLE IS REAL...and real is what the music industry need right now so big up to her!

Who the fuck is Keyshia Cole? and why is she nominated. The only people who are qualified for this kind of award is me , Lindsy Lohan and Aaron Carter. Duh

she masturbates while he watched through binoculars
Sarah always saw her watchyer standing at the window, just staring at her. It didn't bother her, as he was so far away... what could he possibly see? Her yellow bikini was hiding her most private parts, but it was easy to see the curves of her stunning figure. Anyway, she was an exhibitionist and loved people watching her. She felt a tingling sensation between her legs and aching in her breasts. Sarah moved her hands, each cupping a breast

Go On http://www.soundclick.com/akur and listen to "Take My Time" by AKUR.Micwise(me) on the 1st verse,Nebachadnezza on the 2nd,back/forth on 3rd.Some of da illest shit that's out right now.

What's the difference between dog shit and niggers?
When dog shit gets old it turns White and quits stinking

What's the difference between a nigger and a snow tire?
A snow tire doesn't sing when you put chains on it.

How do you stop a nigger from drowning?
Take your foot off the back of his head.

Why do niggers stink?
So blind people can hate them too.

thank god somebody told the truth(justme), the girl is an AIGHT singer, ppl all on her tip bc she sings about relatable shit..so the fuck what..that dont make her whitney houston or somebody..and that whole "that negga did me wrong shit" can only play out for so long..this blog is the only one on the net that is saying she is betta than average..no she aint shakin her ass to sell records...but neither is ALICIA KEYS and Alicia is wayyyyyyyyy betta then keshia...her voice is shaky as hell like she struggles to find her note..and too ghetto..yes mary was ghetto when she came out..BUT SHE WAS A COMPLETE BITCH..I DONT REMEMBER HER CALLING OUT SOMEBODY ON AN AWARD SHOW..she has a long way to go....

DIAMOND,

I agree Keyshia is ghetto as hell. You on point with that.

Keyshia is alright but know home girl got the big head

A lot of you are so right. I'm not here to cause any trouble. I will say that Keyshia Cole can relate to many young girls and doesn't stoop so low to sell sex. I saw her on the cover of KING MAGAZINE and she had on a very nice black dress that wasn't revealing or hoochie at all. With that said, a lot of people have been acting like she's the best thing ever since baked bread.

I don't care for her voice it does seem like she is struggling to get a note. Mary wasn't ghetto, she was more hood. There's a difference. She was this tom boy who had a lot of talent. There's a difference. Keyshia Cole is still young and still has a lot to learn, that explains her arrogance and attitude. Mary came out and showed that she had a very strong, powerful, womanly voice and baggy clothes; and tom boyish ways was in back in the day. Hello? Does anyone remember that.

It was okay for you to be a female who's hood but is real cool and down to earth and doesn't show an attitude. Da Brat, Salt N Peppa, even Aaliayh had that style. I love her new song Love and the video makes sense but it doesn't seem like she's a star in front of the camera or can hit a high note without trying so hard. I can see why a lot of people like her but, she isn't what people make her to be. Even though she's young, I don't see any potential or anything that stands out about her that's going to make her last.
