December 2007 Archives

Here we are, y'all! The final day of 2007!

For some of the people in the hip-hop industry, that either means

a) One more day for them to act like a fool before straightening up their act;

b) One more day to chill before they wild out for the '08;

or--

c) it'sjust another day of them to behave in their particular @shhole function... just with an upped ante for New Year's Eve.

Luckily... I don't give a f*ck, I'm still gonna call them out on their bullsh-t.

If you've been catching The Breezys this past Thursday and Friday (SHAME ON YOU IF YOU HAVEN'T!), I've been serving it to a few choice people in the industry.

However... some lesser known folk are gonna catch it today too (some good, and some bad).

So... as we proceed....

IT'S THE BREEZY'S, BEYYOOOTCH!

Cue today's theme music: Shannon-- "Let The Music Play"

Okay... okay... enough with the Puerto Rican anthem. We got more
::sings:: Let the music play... we won't get away...

Okay, CUT THAT SH*T. We got bigger fish to fry-- artists who apparently didn't know when to let their music (or their music videos) STOP.

2007 was a year full of good music videos... but mostly bad ones.

Which is why Breezy is back to bring y'all PART TWO of the 2007 Breezy's... and this time we're sh*ttin' on the music videos!

Some of these awards might shockyou. Some of them might piss you off.
Some of them might make you say, "heeeelllll yeeaaah!"

Ready? Let's go get 'em.

Woo-Fuck*n-Hoo, Bytches! 2007 is OVER!

Even though the start of a new year means new beginnings (and clean slates), I couldn't help but reminisce on some... okay, a lot of the bull-ish that went down in the OWE-SEVEN. You had n*ggas swearing they were stylin' on you, various comedy spoofs, and celebrities that were just making damn fools of themselves.

Which is why there are many, many, many individuals out there who are being honored with a Breezy Award.

I tried to make these categories as entertaining as I could for you, being that I'm working through an influenza. Still, I think that most of you will agree with some of the choices that I've made. If you don't, come see me at Breezylovesyababy@hotmail.com and we'll talk it out.

ON WITH THE MUDSLINGING! YESSS, THE VENOM IS POPPIN', IS POPPIN'!

THE 2007 BREEZY AWARDS ARE IN FULL EFFECT!!! And the VENOM will be dripping like ya Momma’s bacon grease off the stove!!

I'm going to dedicate three days to discussing what went down and around in the world of crazy reality shows, crazier music videos and stupid-as-f*ck celebrities!
Some of the categories you will see include: Craziest Reality Star Personality, The N*gga Kill Yourself Award, Worst/Best Video of The Year, Internet Thug of The Year and more!

But yo... did you know that I said even though I'm selecting most of the winners, Y'ALL will be choosing the winner for Best Online Comedy Sketch/Parody? HELL YEAH!

Also, I've extended the voting period to 10 PM EST DECEMBER 28th, 2007.

If you need to be reminded of who the nominees are... click below!

Sup, mi familia--

Hope everyone did the damn thing for Christmas, and that you didn’t punch your little brother/cousin/niece/your own child in the eye for hogging time with the Nintendo Wii … and I hope some of y’all either got some under or smoke some of that mistletoe, whatever your holiday traditions be.

Can you believe that this is my last video post of the year?
Before y’all start going crazy, I say that because the year’s remaining posts will be dedicated to The 2007 Breezy Awards (more about that after the cut). And yes, there has been a lot of sh-t that went down this year (which is why I’m doing the awards in the first place). But I thought that for the time being, I’d give light to a female who didn’t have TOO much controversy surrounding her this year. No ho,ho,ho jokes on her.

In fact… the jury’s still out on whether or not Ciara’s actually a female.

Here’s the newest effort from the Princes of Crunk N’ B, “That’s Right”.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BYTCHES!!

I told y'all that I was going to find some funny Christmas-themed sketches for your viewing pleasure. I wasn't getting any luck in that area until my boy GeeQue sent me a bulletin on Myspace with all these videos (gotta love Myspace sometimes!). Those of you who are familiar with GeeQue know that his videos are usually done with a hint of comedy, so the fact that he had these sketches out didn't surprise me.

So check 'em out... these should be enough to hold you over 'till we get back on Wednesday. It's better than watching that damn Yule Log, if you ask me...

I decided to post two of them up here: the first one I found to be a lil' off the wall. How did this dude mix the "CPW" (haaa!) and "sportin' crispy white tees"? I can't lie... I used to have an ex that SWORE if he wore some jeans and an ankle-length white Hanes, he was FRESH TO DEATH. Uhhh.... next!

This one might hurt a few feelings... yep... guess who's NOT getting the Nintendo Wii for Christmas? YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! You a fool for this one, Gee!

Holla @ me about the videos, and if you're interested in hearing GeeQue's music, hit him up at http://myspace.com/geequenyc

Now... the Moment You've All Been Waiting For.... After The Jump That Is....

Wassup y'all! Sorry today's post is a lil' late, but you know how it is. It's the holiday season! Gotta get my all my eggnog n' Southern Comfort parties in! Holla!

Today I have a very special announcement to make. All of you The Wire enthusiasts take note: the official Season 5 starts January 6th! Check out the trailer below.

I think that one of my New Year's Resolutions will be to include weekly re-caps of the show. What do y'all think?

Hey fam--

I didn't get a chance to do this last week, so I'm doing it now.

I know that the resident snappers n' trappers of this board are reading this and going, "Breezy, this ain't hip-hop! Blog the new Gucci Mane video-- it's fire!"

F-CK THAT!

Right now, we're going to acknowledge the death of Ike Turner. Yes, I know, he's more famous for beating Tina to a pulp as well as his past drug abuse, but real music aficionados can appreciate the talent Ike brought to the game as a musician and a producer. Those of you who write rock n' roll off as a white genre, brush up on your history. Ike was one of the pioneers of this sh-t. Go download "Rocket '88", listen and take notes.

As far as Tina is concerned... whatever their past may be, you can't deny the passion and the chemistry these two had on stage. Imagine had they gotten along, AND were still going at it hard in the music industry these days. WHAT? There WOULDN'T BE any room for a Rihanna, Beyonce, Ciara, etc. The proof's in the pudding, baby.

For those of you who want something a little more familiar...

Y'all just don't know. Breezy is a very big Holiday enthusiast. Sh*t, I even gotta bang out versions 1, 2, and 3 of Adam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song" at least TWICE during the month of December!

But anyway, I'm especially big on Christmas-- EFF ALL Y'ALL who swear it's only a child's holiday. In anticipation of the day, I'm going to be digging up rare Christmas music videos/comedies that will hopefully kill the Grinch that lives inside of some of you.

I was actually looking for something else when I came across this Pussycat Doll performance. I don't know what award show this is from (I know it's from 2006 though), but Nicole is singing "Santa Baby", with her requisite "I'm-Not-Puerto-Rican-But-I-Want-Y'all-To-Think-I-Am" swag in full swing. However, she switches up the lyrics a bit-- because guess who's playing Santa?

Yeah, you thought right. "Girl you know I,I,I,I..." (Twista used the same sample for "Overnight Celebrity"). It's not as effective as what UGK and Outkast did with Willie Hutch's "I Choose You", but there's a very delicate lesson a producer or rapper must bear in mind when creating a beat. You gotta be careful with how you treat those 70's hit. The wrong interpolation of a base can throw the whole sh*t off. Case in point:

Seriously... why is Trey Songz even on this track? He's barely even singing! And wassup with that Lil' Wayne-esque monkey call at the end? CHILL!

I'm saying... is Salt-N-Pepa done? VH1 pre-empted this show in favor of stupid countdown shows nobody gives a flying f-ck for like, EVERY WEEK! STOP PLAYING!

In the meantime, we have another "Irv Gotti Oinks" clip for y'all to check out. In this one, Irv flings straight bullsh*t explains how he and Deb got to be where they are today...

... what the f-ck ever. We all know you like your cake with a skank icing-- must you make it more evident? Ughh, I'm SO done with him... until next season of Gotti's Way.

Check me later-- I got a video for y'all. Holla.

WHO LOVES YA, BABY?

Yea... here we go... another installment of WHOCIDWHUT.
This time... Cita's cousins, Pookie N'em are discussing rappers & assaults.

Yeah... gotta admit.. the females were DEFINITELY acting a fool this year!

"Da Brat done tapped more domes than Superhead at an Oscar party!" -- COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!

But in my opinion, in a throwdown between Foxy and Brat... of course Shawntae's gonna go bratta-tat-tatta on that a*s... if it's a fair fight. If other foreign bodies are involved, then well...let's just say I'm glad they never had any on-wax beef (to my knowledge, anyway).

Holla at me about the clip, and don't forget to check out Salt-N-Pepa tonight!

WHO LOVES YA, BABY?
--Breezy

Aight y'all... I joined the majority.

This sh*t is scripted like I don't know what... although this episode appeared to be a lil' tighter. I still can't believe that E! is doing this show... even Mama Breezy thought I was watching BET when she stepped into the living room. Damn.

Nevertheless... I've decided I'm gonna give it at least ONE MORE SHOT before I throw in the towel on this show.

So let's catch up on what went down in the Dogghouse last night: Guess who paid a visit to the Broadus Bunch? (HINT: Even the most Black-powered, Afro-centric sister would probably catch a fever while watching him bend it.)

Tryna speed it up, are you, homie? I got a couple ideas of how you can do that.
(HINT: It involves NOT hitting up Golden Krust for those six daily bun-n'-cheeses .)

If you can't move at his speed, girl... then you haffi congestive heart failure. Forreal for real. No more fatty snacks for you, either.

What up, fam.

Did y'all check me out yesterday afternoon on WHCR 90.3 FM?
Me and the ladies (shout out to Nina, Ms. De Laleu and Ms. Nee Nee) got into some really cool discussions about femcees and how they are portraying themselves in the media and to their audience. And it became even more evident that women still have a ways to go in terms of being respected as genuine femcees, publicists, hip-hop journalists, historians, writers, producers, documentarians, and the like (did I miss anything?).

So I got to thinking-- EFF THIS BULLSH*T. I know we got females in the game right now that are letting their personal drama overshadow their careers, and there's no need to shout them out. This post isn't about hate today y'all-- it's 'bout repping for the lady rhymesayers!

So, for today's Throwback, here's a clip of the MC Lyte tribute performed by Lil' Kim, Da Brat and Remy Ma at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors a few years back.

So... another reality show has come to a close. I felt that it had just started, though! If y'all missed out on this one... oohhh Lawd, y'all missed out on some sh*t hitting the fan.
I think I came away with one sole lesson from this entire season:

Frankie is a piping, steaming, two-minutes-off-the-crack-pipe-hiding-under-the-bed mess.

Seriously... I'm not trying to crack on her, but I realized that Frankie will FOREVER have that "addict" look in her face & mannerisms. No amount of foundation, askewed wigs or poorly drawn lipliner (Ladies did you PEEP THAT? Someone should've called Lil' Mama to teach Frankie some application techniques) can cover that up. Sorry.

Aaaah! Y’all just don’t know. VH1 decides to postpone this week’s ep of Salt N’ Pepa, AND there are a SLEW of sh*tty @ss videos debuting this week. Fortunately, I only have room to highlight one of them in this post.

Let’s take a look at the latest offering from that loser Kia Shine.
To all my Tennessee heads... please don’t take to heart the doo-doo I’m bout to fling on this dude. Like he says, “it ain’t about hip-hop, it’s about [him].”

Oh my F*CKING goodness... Was anyone able to get past the first :22 secs without crying?

Seriously, why does he still have a record contract? Shouldn’t Universal have realized this n*gga was a joke when Church’s Chicken vetoed using “So Krispy” as their new jingle?

Hey SOHH.com headz--

Check out "WHOCIDWHUT", a year-end review of all the events that went down in hip-hop this year. And check it-- it's a CARTOON.

Apparently... BET's former digital chickenhead Cita (remember her!?) has some ghetto cousins!!

This is kinda like the animated Source Awards, lol...

To all of y'all... NOW y'all know what "Duffle Bag Boy" means! SHOCKER! Ha ha f-ckin' ha...

"If your bond money is bigger than your Sound Scan numbers, you may need a new career"....
OH SH*************T, REMY!!!

And that who they arrested, T.I. or TIP question... man... I was the FIRST person to bring that to mind, don't make me link the old post back where I said it!!!
"Don't no gangstas hang out in parking lots trying to do work"-- ohmygoodness...

Holla @ me about this.

::Playing "Drop It Like It's Hot" in the background::

Wassup, cuz! Breezy here checking in after a craaazy weekend (I went to an 80's Old School party at the Hip Hop Culture Center in Harlem... it was hot until the DJ threw on "Soulja Boy" but we won't get into that).

Now, if you read my post on Friday, I told y'all I was going to check out this show due to it's apparent complete antithesis to the now-on-hiatus Gotti's Way. I was lil' worried, 'cuz the shows that appear on the E! Channel are just dumb (why the F_CK does Kim Kardashian's @$$ have a reality show? She let an r&b nobody skeez on her!!!)

Anyway, back to Big Snoop Dogg. Those of you who didn't catch the show, here's a lil' clip of the theme song and first minute of last night's episode:

I know y'all wanna know what the hell goes on in their house. It ain't the Simmons... not quite, at least.

Yes, y'all, we've got more clips from the Irv Gotti interview.

Take it like you wanna... but hope you have a strong stomach to digest this.

Mornin', nephews!

Check out this quick lil' video of Snoop Dogg and his daughter Cori's Tuesday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. They talk about Snoop's fathering techniques, and The Dogg lets it be known to all of the eltoementary schoolers thinking of honing in on his babygirl:

Snoop is crazy, but this was a really good interview. I love the way Cori looks away like, "you know I'm just saying that so I won't embarrass you, right?"

Aww. I've decided that I will be re-capping his new reality show on the E! Channel (I hope y'all are subscribers... it airs Sunday Night @ 10:30 EST). Check for the first re-cap MONDAY MORNING! (You know y'all wanna see if he really cusses out these kids!)

Hit me up at 2 p.m. EST for more videos.

WHO LOVES YA, BABY?

You know what? Wyclef's new album dropped on the 4th, and I told y'all that I was feeling the sampler that I obtained. He's truly gifted and one of the rare mainstream artists that still manage to pen thought-provoking, intelligent and socially relevant lyrics.

At first, I thought about throwing up a UGK throwback to honor the memory of Pimp C. No disrespect to him, because I do like him as a rapper, but to me Wyclef has had more of a sentimental impact on my love for this beautiful genre.

This is why I chose to put up this particular, classic joint from the equally classic group.

Before y'all ask... Keyshia Cole got pre-empted for College Hill. Oh well.

But that's okay. You know what's so funny, is that I'm sitting here at my laptop after coming home from the nail salon (Breezy don't do tips, I get my own nails French manicured, thank you), and lo and behold... I found one of the videos that I've been waiting to debut for a minute.

KID SISTER IS THAT CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

Ladies... would you take hair tips from Pep? I’m talking in terms of 2007â€" not 1987.
This video clip is cute, though.

Who caught this episode? Wasn't it something to see how knowledgeable Pepa was about the weave busines? It was like watching the Weavy Wonder version of Bill Nye the Science Guy. "

Damn, mama. Didn't know it was that serious.

Don't you just love it when celeb-reality stars tell the camera crews to "get the f-ck out?"
Be eaaaaaaasy!

Can't believe the Season Finale aired last night. It was over before it even really begun. But you know what? I had an epiphany while watching this episode.

I discovered the real reason behind my hatred for Irv.

He's my father.

I'm sorry y'all. I don't know how old this is, if someone else posted it, and frankly I don't give a damn. When I saw this vid from Hurricane Chris -tastrophe, I had to go in and lay my two cents down.

Yeah, I gotta agree. Collipark, you're definitely a fool for this joint. Seriously.

And I guess Chris must've took time to attempt to master the English language. Think he'll get it right on the next try? "Ay, no way! Ay, no way!"

Buenos dias, bytcheeesss!!

I know I've been keeping y'all hanging on this one for more than a lil' bit (production issues, sorry) but now it's FINALLY HERE... yep... the interview I promised y'all with actor/comedian/emcee Johnollie Nelson, b.k.a. John O. And for those of you who may need a lil' reminder of exactly who he is, not only does he portray Juelz Santana in the "Black Mexican/Republican" Spoof, but he's spoofing Michael Bivins in this very popular YouTube series:

You know they was DEAD WRONG for that. "Laurie-Ann, you supposed to be a sista!"

I know you guys want to get the scoop on what inspired the MTB4 as well as the "Black Mexican" spoof, and you know ya girl Breezy got the HOOKUP for ya. I have to honestly say this was one of my most interesting interviews I've ever done-- son is BUGGED forreal for real. But he was gracious enough to let me ask whatever I wanted, and you know I did :)
