Over the last few weeks the conversation of sports and politics have evolved into one topic. Although conspiracy theories between entertainment and politics have always existed, fans are now seeing the reality of the little power their favorite athletes do not have.  Recently, President Donald Trump, while speaking at a political rally said NFL fans should boycott games and team owners should fire players who fail to stand for the national anthem. Many acted as if they were appalled by Trump's comments, immediately pronouncing the first amendment, "freedom of speech." Although most of the NFL's owners and commissioners agreed that the players should honor the national anthem, they followed with statements like "we are proud of players for using their platforms to make a positive difference," but was the statement of oppression truly supported?  During the 2016 NFL preseason, San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick initiated a protest by sitting i...

Vh1 set the night off right wth Missy Elliot as the opening performance to the 2017 VH1 Hip Hop Honors . Known for oddly creative visuals, audiences were expecting a dynamic performance from Missy Elliot, and she did not disappoint. After being honored at last years ceremony and having such a dominant role in the late 90s, what better way to start the night. Hosted by Regina Hall, the award ceremony was filled with stars of the 90s and today. In celebration of the golden era of hip hop, fans and celebrities dressed in 90s clothing. Yes, that means flat tops, 4 finger rings, and joggers.  Performances were great, amazing experience. #vh1hiphophonors airs tonight #vh1 #livelive #livelili #music #hiphop #lilinicols #performance #art #losangeles #paramount #hollywood #snapchat @lilinicols A post shared by L!ve Li Li (@liveliliblog) on Sep 18, 2017 at 12:06pm PDT Southern style hip hop Rapper T.I introduced awards to 2 of most iconic moguls in hip hop, Master ...

Recently comedian Kevin Hart posted a video on Instagram, stating that he was being black mailed. He apologized to his family, and more directly towards his wife for his infidelity. Fans are outraged by the comedians actions, and are sympathetic towards his pregnant wife.  Although I am not condoning or agreeing with adultery, I don't feel much sympathy for either Harts. Kevin Hart has been in mainstream media for over 5 years, and during that time frame, we've seen him with two wives. He was married to his first wife Torrie Hart for 8 years, and infidelity is rumored to be the cause of their divorce. I pity Torrie, because not only was she married to him before he blew up into this A list celebrity, but Hart based majority of his stand up surrounding their "happy home." This was the typical story of a man becoming successful and then replacing everyone who was originally there for him.  As for Kevin Hart's second marriage to Eniko Parrish, well what did ...

Fashion is often defined as a "popular" trend or style, but, fashion is an art lifestyle. What you wear is often how you want to be perceived to the unknown eye. Which is why when we see most famous people in some sort of gimmick outfit, we raise questions.  More than likely that celebrity have a stylist, and was given an outfit to wear with little personal input. So, while audiences are following this trend, unless the stylist is also the designer, there's a chance that the original message in the design can be lost.  I got the opportunity to catch up with an upcoming model named MaleMadonna , who's had much success in a short time frame, by using his creative fashion sense as a ladder to reach beyond gender stereotypes. No longer will male models be constrained to a style based on their sexuality or sexual identity. As model, MaleMadonna has grown into a brand, distributing his resources to other talents, without being attached to an’ agency. Creativity ca...

While on the set of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, singer Ray J stirred up a nice debate. He asked cast members their opinion of who was the better boy band, B2K or Pretty Ricky? Ray J proceed to say that Pretty Ricky was the better group, but several others disagreed leaving the debate inconclusive. This is a classic debate of influence/sales versus content. Although both groups have platinum albums and singles which one dominated their era? B2K (1998-2004) B2k launched in the late 90s and became an instant success by the year 2000, with their hit single "Uh-Huh." After touring with the young rap sensation Lil Bow Wow, B2k could gain their fans easily, and sky rocket into the mainstream appeal. The RnB hip-hop group became the heartthrobs of every young girl. The group consisted of 4 members: Omarion, Lil Fiz, J-Bug, and Raz B. My personal eye candy was J-Bug although the lead singer was Omarion, who eventually went solo from the group. Songs like "Bump, Bump, Bump...

Whether your feelings of isolation means not having a shoulder to lean on or simply the knowledge of distrust. Either way Juug expresses it all, but in a catchy sound that makes the song repeatable.
