PAPER PLANES VIDEO

LOOK I KNOW THERE ARE HATERS OUT THERE, I DEAL WITH IT EVERYDAY THATS NO FUCKING BIG DEAL AND IVE DEALT WITH WORSE IN MY LIFE, A FEW PEOPLE TALKING SHIT DONT MATTER TO ME, BUT TWISTING TRUTH ISNT THE LESSON I WANNA LEARN IN MY TIME IN MUSIC, SO WHO EVER THAT IS DOING IT , I WANNA SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

1, I ORIGINALLY WANTED TO SHOOT THE VIDEO IN A FACTORY ON THE BORDER OF
EQUADOR, BUT COULDNT. I WAS TOURING THE U.S, I COULDA BEEN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT THEN BUT THERE I WAS IN AMERICA, IN NYC, IN BROOKLYN, IN BEDSTUY , I WAS TORN BETWEEN SCRAPIN SHOWS IN AMERICA AND MEETING AMERICAN FANS OR SHOOTING IN NYC ON MY ONLY DAY OFF I’D HAD IN 4 MONTHS AND GETTING ON WITH IT.

2, SO THAT WAS THAT! I NEVER MADE A VIDEO IN AMERICA AND HEY ITS STILL A PART OF WHAT I DO AND SAY, ITS WAS STILL VALID, SO I WAS READY TO ROLL WITH IT.

3, YOU ALL KNOW HOW THE SONG SOUNDS, THATS WHY WHEN U GO ON YOUTUBE 400, 000 PEOPLE WOULD RATHER LISTEN THE SONG AS IT IS AND STARE AT SOME PICTURE THEN TO ACTUALLY WATCH A VIDEO

4, WHEN LETTERMAN CENSORD ME IT WAS WAC OF COURSE!!!!!! , AND YES I FELT SOOOOOO BAD FOR WHAT THEY DID TO MY SOUND. I WAS ABEL TO SOUND CHECK FOR THAT SHOW AND THEY LET ME SOUND CHECK FINE, THEN ON THE ACTUAL TAPING MY SOUND WAS SOOO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT ID AGREED, AS SOON AS I OPENED MY MOUTH THE DIFFERENCE BLEW ME AWAY, I FELT I WAS GETTING BULLIED ON NATIONAL TELEVISON, AND I COULDNT EVEN REACH OUT TO MY LABELS OR MY MANAGEMENT TO HELP, SINCE THEY ARE NEW TO WHAT HAPPENS TO AN ARTIST LIKE ME IN MAINSTEAM AMERICAN CULTURE.

SO THEY TRIED TO SHUT ME DOWN AGAIN. I MADE THE PAPER PLANES VIDEO. I MADE IT HOW THEY WANTED. NO VIOLENCE. AMBIGUOUS. MTV - FRIENDLY. NOW TODAY, I CHECK YOUTUBE AND SEE THE LEAKED MTV PAPER PLANES VIDEO UP FOR THE FIRST TIME. I CLICKED ON IT AND OUT COMES THIS FUCKED UP MESS WITH DOUBLE-TRACKED BULLSHIT MESS

WHO THE THE FUCK IS DOING THIS TO ME?????

THE VIDEO WAS SABOTAGED FOR WHATEVER REASON AND IM DISAPPOINTED THAT MTV HAS HAD SUCH A MAJOR ROLE IN THIS. THE BLOGGERS WHO ARE LAZY ENOUGH TO FOLLOW THE MTV LINK AND POST UP AND COMMENT ON THE SOUND WHEN THAT HASNT BEEN COMPROMISED AND THE GUNSHOT ARENT REPLACED AND EDITED MAKES ME SAD. I DID FIGHT FOR THE SOUND , BECAUSE PUTTING MEANINGS IN YOUR VIDEOS, IN MY OPINION IS A DYING ART. I CAN FILM MY SELF ANYWHERE ANYTIME AND LET YOU KNOW THE TRUTH , BUT THE SONG IS WHAT I WANTED TO PRESERVE IN THIS CASE.

TO ALL MY FANS, LOOK, ITS LIKE THIS,
IM LEARNING THINGS ABOUT THIS WORLD WITH YOU, I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME , I WANT YOU TO SEE HOW PEOPLE WILL SIT AND SPEND ALL SUNDAY TEARIN ME DOWN FOR SOMETHING I DIDNT EVEN MAKE OR PUT OUT, SO PEOPLE WELCOME TO MODERN DAY PROPAGANDA MESSAGE MANGLING.

IN 2007, AN OUTSIDER OPINION WILL BE CONFRONTED THIS WAY , AND THIS IS HOW THE BATTLE GOES, MY MESSAGES AND IDEAS AND MEANING WILL ALWAYS BE BROUGHT TO YOU WITH SLIGHTLY TAINTED CHANNELS. IF YOU SUPPORT ME BE SMART, AND KNOW THAT.

I LOVE YOU, U KEEP ME GOING.

Wendy Williams is reporting that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are planning to take their relationship to another level. The couple plans to wed December 28. Sources told Wendy that Eddie wants to close 2007 with some happiness.
Tracey has purchased an ivory gown and Jimmy Choo. After the ceremony, the couple and guests will sit down for a late night dinner.

In yet another show of very ungentlemanly like behavior, Pretty puts Punk’s head on the chopping block. Pretty decides to reveal how two-faced Punk really is. Here is an excerpt from his rant:

The time is long overdue for me to speak out about the REAL two-faced PUNK from this season of I Love New York …In the event that anyone reading this doesn’t know who or what I am talking about, I am speaking about David Otunga aka New York’s Punk, that bitch ass, cowardly, cobra looking ass nicca, who prides himself on being “a young professional that has a law degree from Harvard”…. SO MUTHER FUCKING WHAT!!!

Pretty drops some knowledge on some of us uneducated peeps by posting a definition of archaic. He calls out Punk’s character not once, twice, but three times in his rant.

…[A]lmost every incident in the house was instigated or commented on by PUNK, all the while PUNK continued to play the role of “friend” to many (now the Maid did the same thing but he wasn’t trying to be a friend or “act” friendly and he gets respect for that). I can only speak for myself, not for any of the other fellas, when saying I feel that this was a PUNK ass move on his part. I’ll take this time to speak directly to you David/PUNK…you are truly living up to YOUR name…milk it for all its worth!

Hmmm….I wonder has Punk seen this…

You are a moderately successful black female celebrity who is considered pretty by public and Hollywood standards. You have dated your share of professional ballers but the drama and womanizing became too much.

Then, you decided to date outside the industry despite your friends asking, why are you dating civilians?

Over time, that became tiring because you always had to pick up the tab or they became jealous and resentful of your success, especially when fans approached you for an autograph while making them feel invisible.

Just before you decided to start dating industry men-again. A new man came into your life. Although he was not in the industry, he had his own stacks and he always picked up the tab. He didn’t even seem bothered by your celebrity and success and he often sent you flowers and bling. You even rolled around in his $100,000 whip.

You considered him the man of your dreams but unbeknownst to you, he was only dating you for status and he lied about his occupation, saying he was a successful import/export dealer.

In reality, this man was a big time drug dealer and he wanted to impress his boys by dating a celebrity.

Things were looking up until you were informed that he was a street baller and it was rumored-he was on the DL as well. You became devastated and horrified.

After you confronted him and he didn’t deny it, you became heartbroken.

You would later find out that he got turned out in jail during a brief stint and that he’s nicknamed “Omar,” (behind his back), after the gay stickup kid on “The Wire.”

Will Smith may have been the only man left on Earth, but he has a lot of friends.
In an impressive opening weekend for a Sci-Fi movie, “I Am Legend” debuted with $76.5 million, the biggest December opening and a personal best for Smith.

Look for my review of “I Am Legend” coming soon!

There will be a public viewing of Ike Turner’s body at the Angelus Funeral Home in L.A. on December 20. Funeral services are also public and will be held at the Greater Bethany Community Church City of Refuge in Gardena, Calif. on December 21.

The cause of death is still unknown. What is known is that he went to lay down after eating breakfast. His personal assistant and members of the Kings of Rhythm Band were at the house. When a band member went to wake him, he was nonresponsive.
