VIDEO: Beyonce "Formation" #SLAYMAMMA

So Beyonce has done it once again and released a track that I am feelin!

This track is entitled "Formation" and... well I dont think I really need to ever explain Queens B's work. The theme of this track is throwing major props to her history, culture, success and being from the south - "I got hot sauce in my bag" - on top of a dope ass beat. This is my favourite form of Bey- dirty South.

If you have money you can buy it on TIDAL, but I know I'm broke and happy as hell its on YouTube :)

Here's the link:

Comment any thoughts, pass it around, expect great things from this amazing being in 2016.

Tyler, The Creator Vents On New Track 'Fuck It'

Tyler, The Creator is known for rather obscene out there lyrics. Well his new track is no different. He has released a new song- 'Fuck It', on which he addresses a couple major things that recently happened and were sprawled across media headlines:-

• His Australian Visa Denial
• Accusal of him being homopobic

I don't think I need to say any more... Have a listen here:

Oh, and here are the lyrics:

I seen a lot of niggas 

So when them niggas start talking reckless I get offended 

I get it, they try to keep a image 

But look a little closer at the picture and you'll that they're chameleons 

How you doin'

You in the muthafucking building? 

Nigga I'm an architect, 

Got another crane and I don't know if I'ma park it yet 

You ain't even start one yet, fuck off my property 

Tell Australia I'm sneaking in with a mic in my damn hand 

Instead of the vegetables that I packed in my backpack 

When Marshall had this problem what the fuck was they telling him? 

Is it cause of status or his melanin lacks black 

I think people love to be mad 

How can I be misogynistic love titties and ass 

How can I be homophobic when my boyfriend's a fag 

And we been hiding in the closet like our passion is fashion 

Still tryna come out 

Couldn't deal with niggas who decide to take the fun out 

Prolly cause I like to in places where the suns out 

So comparing niggas lights is a muthafucking bum out 

Thought you niggas nudist, but y'all clothes 

I was 'bout to tee off and put put till the end 

Now it's anti-golf boys cause I don't fuck my friends 

Worse thing they gave me was an opportunity and a pen 

Freedom of speech? My freedom was breached 

Border Patrol put me on streets immediately 

For shit I said when I was a virgin, repeatedly 

Posting on Hypebeast cause nobody would listen me 

My child is product of me, very honest 

Left of center, very different, they didn't want us 

They didn't get us, didn't fit enough for their standards 

Diverse and loud, so they ignore us 

You put your life in a child that everybody hates 

Now everybody hates papa despite that papas great 

But that's your favorite child boy that's your favourite one 

kids? Nope, I'm talking bout that cherry bomb 

I don't think they hear it 

I was fearing deteriorating 

Almost ate my spirit 

'Til the children cheered along 

Watching them sing the songs 

Eyeballs inspired 

From pilot to 2seater 

I couldn't steer them wrong 

That's why i copped the McLaren, I couldn't stop at the bimmer 

"Tyler loosing himself that nigga turned to a diva 

Nigga preaching and smiling, nigga wilden and breathing 

Tryna inspire all the little niggas that wanna be him 

But fuck that! We want: 

Cats cats daddy problems kickflip fuck fuck, cupcakes buttrape 

Golf wang, daddy problems fag fag dad dad bike lake everything that i hate, plus being sad" 

Y'all can cry about your year's top rap new albums 

Golf did a quarter million in about two hours 

Money money ain't the motive, but it is up for discussion 

Niggas frontin' niggas wish that they could fuck with my production 

Saying you the plug, get yo chords up 

I was writing string sections on my tour bus 

They adore me, my little birds 

Be free flap your wings I encourage it 

I wish i had fucking Xanex problem so y'all talk about how I deep I am 

Man child in the flesh bitch I'm Peter Pan 

You Captain the Hook muthafuckas wont ever be the man 

I got a muthafucking vision I don't need your plans 

So shut your muthafucking mouth when I be speaking man 

To the only sober nigga that be tweeking fam

Beyonce X Ronda = Diva

Ronda Rousey is a fucking epic. Yup, we all know. And Beyonce... well she's is the Queen of pop-culture. It doesn't get much better than this.

During Beyonce’s set at the Made In America festival on Saturday, she played Rousey’s now famous "Do Nothing Bitch" voice over before performing "Diva." (NSFW: Language warning).

Just check out these two bad bitches rocking that stage in spoken word and stage presence:

So Rihanna's MOTHER F*?!ING VIDEO just dropped and its pretty epic.

I wont say any more... other than I LOVE IT and am proud of RiRi for Directing this amazing story, in the form of a music video, herself!

VIDEO: "Fruitvale Station"

“Fruitvale Station,” is based on a true story about the fatal Oakland shooting of an unarmed young black man. This is the story of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.

The film won the two top prizes at the Sundance Film Festival and has become a cause celebre among critics. The film hitting theatres just as the jurors in the George Zimmerman trial were deliberating.

This film was released in 2013, yet here in Australia I never heard anything about it until now.
Rightfully, activists are seizing the opportunity to promote the movie, which calls for justice and implies that nothing like it has occurred yet, though the man who shot and killed Oscar Grant has already served time in prison and Grant’s family has prevailed in a large civil suit.

So many videos have surfaced of officers committing race crimes around the U.S. and more so since this movie was released in 2013, including the murders of Eric Garner, 43, and Michael Brown, 18, (to just name the few that the media have paid close attention to). The list of unarmed African-Americans being shot for the most obscure reasons is endless and you can find their names and a brief explanation of what happened here: http://gawker.com/unarmed-people-of-color-killed-by-police-1999-2014

The 22-year-old, Oscar Grant is played by Michael B. Jordan. Mr. Grant was a small-time criminal who cheated on his girlfriend and had been fired from a job at a grocery store. “Fruitvale Station,” a debut effort from young filmmaker Ryan Coogler, tries to fit a halo on its subject, seemingly to play up the audience’s sympathies.

The way I see it, even if Oscar Grant III had been the worst criminal in the Bay Area, he SHOULD NOT have been shot in the back by a BART Officer while lying face down on a subway platform, and I thoroughly respect the film’s implicit plea that all human lives are valuable and deserving of basic human dignity.

This is the cell phone footage captured and its clear the actual event has been directed pretty close to actual events. *CAUTION GRAPHIC*

Overweight with a Pretty Face Ain't Healthy

It has come to my attention that a woman by the name of Tess Holliday is being featured in numerous articles and kind of being praised for her self-image. She describes herself as an activist, aiming to change the way the fashion industry makes women feel about themselves. I find this disturbing as she is most definitely one of the largest women I have seen. She is not now, nor ever an 'activist' for anything good.

Unfortunately she is just as much not promoting a healthy body image as those stick thin starving models with a BMI of >18. I am so disgusted that overweight and unhealthy is now being represented as healthier than the 'skinny' girls. That's not right either. Healthy is healthy.....

My friend Naomi Campbell (Perth) said, "People mistake malnourishment and eating disorders for being exclusive to the skinny population." This is a very powerful statement coming from her as she has dealt with her own demons and won the fight against anorexia.

The image below is just as unhealthy as Tess Holliday just the polar opposite.

Image from: http://girltalkhq.com/ Article posted January 2015

Overweight acceptance and beautification objectively reduces the drive for those targeted to try to lose weight and become healthier. Obesity correlates indisputably with a reduced life span and quality of life, and increased financial cost onto society. Tess Holliday, in an attempt to make girls her size 'feel good about themselves' and forcing the political correctness of "you can't tell someone they're fat" mindset, you are inadvertently killing people.

If you compare statistics of suicide and malnutrition deaths from anorexia (roughly 100-400 deaths per year in the U.S.) compared to 300,000+ obesity related deaths per year, this image is not doing anyone ANY favours.

And Tess' images are far from the truth. She gets photoshopped too.

This is not acceptable, and is glorifying something that is not healthy. It is not acceptable to be skinny to the point of bones sticking out and its most certainly not acceptable to be obesely overweight. I am disgusted that this is what we as human being are promoting as a way to 'love who we are'. You can say "What do you know, you're skinny and I bet you've never been overweight and had that struggle". No I haven't but I have had other struggles like battling acne and not having any confidence to go out of the house on a hot day in anything less than a t-shirt because it was that humiliating.

I also know that I will never accept this obese weight as being acceptable and I have damn good reason. My dad was overweight, much like Tess and he died at the age of 61 of a massive heart attack caused by his weight, amongst other factors. His obesity over the years slowly killed him. He left behind myself, my mother and my 19 year old brother and that breaks my heart. I cannot accept that this, this image, is the right way to promote loving yourself. This promotes over indulgence and a lack of self control and its saying that its okay to be unhealthy and binge eat crap and not exercise and love your body.

Teenagers who do struggle with weight need to be motivated to actually get up and get moving! We need to stop tiptoeing around these people who cannot accept the fact that they need to change.

Oh MATH!

Image source: The Nigerian Times

I just came across a small article covering the fact that a Nigerian Student solved a 30 year old math equation and broke an Academic Record at a Japanese University.

This was not reported on in the mainstream media and I think it's a worthy piece of news, as this young man is clearly a sharp tac!

The students name is Ufot Ekong and he has just become the first Nigerian to earn a “First Class Degree” and become the best overall student at Tokai University in Tokyo, Japan since 1965!

He broke the record for the highest graduating GPA, the last time anyone graduated with a grade point average similar to Ufot Ekong was over 50 years ago. Ufot solved said 30 year old outstanding mathematical equation in his first semester! He has also won six academic awards from the school.

Ufot put himself through school by working two jobs and is truly an inspiration to those out there who aren't sure if they can go to uni and finish a degree.. If Ufot can, you can!

Ufot speaks English, Yoruba, French and Japanese!  I want to say a massive well done and congratulations on all your hard work. Ufot, you are an amazing young man.

Part II:
This brings me to another point. I am now right around the corner from being 24. When I finished high school I had no idea what I wanted to do but was always good at talking. I came across Public Relations and thought, "that sounds alright" and was influenced by The Hills and The City. I never sat my end of high school exams because I was ashamed of my academic skills and didn't want to have a bad score permanently on my record.

After school I furthered my education the best way I could. I went to TAFE (where I went is now known as The Central Institute of Technology Perth). I completed a Cert IV and a Diploma in Public Relations only to have my lecturer tell me he didn't think I was read for the working world and that I would benefit from going to uni. So I did.

While I was at uni, struggling some days and wanting to give up and just work somewhere, anywhere but I didn't. I was proud that I had made it into uni and was pursuing something that I know meant a lot to my dad (he was a Mining Engineer and had completed his Masters in something) and to my mum, who never got the opportunity to go to uni.

It pains me to hear young people giving up on their degrees. "I have a year left but it's not what I want to do, I'm going to do something else" I want to SLAP these people silly!!! Finish it and go onto something else!! We are blessed in Australia to be offered HECS/HELP to get through uni and only start paying the government back when we earn over a certain threshold. Ufot Ekong had to work two.. YES TWO jobs to put himself through university and he never gave up.

I want young people to never give up, you entered into something because you felt a connection to it. Finish it and move onto something else and continue bettering yourself.

Pardon my rant but it had to happen...
