Peep some video from the rapper Plies open casting call for his proposed reality show. I couldn’t even imagine something more janky than ‘Flavor of Love’, but then again I wasn’t giving women their due for Women’s History Month. How much do you want to bet me that some of these broads graduated from Spelman?
And ZORA NEALE HURSTON weeps in her unmarked grave…

These two entertainers are what settles for the triple threat of singing and dancing actresses in the year 2008. The truth is that both BeYONCE and JANET couldn’t act their ample asses out of a paper bag, but their wigs deserve academy awards.
If you have ever watched a BeYONCE video then you already know that her wigs display more on screen charisma than her face can convey. Similarly, JANET JACKSON lets her wigs not only act for her, but occasionally they even dance. JANET is still doing the same shoulder shrug move from her PAULA ABDUL days, at least her wigs have learned some new dance steps. Let’s take a look at some of the wigs of these two great Wig Owners.
BeYONCE has more wigs than anyone else has had in their mid-thirties save for the Boss, DIANA ROSS. BeYONCE’s wigs go from straight and sassy, to out of control hussy curls. The added feature of BeYONCE’s wigs are all the diverse blahnge tints that she uses depending on her moods.
JANET JACKSON is a master Wig mistress who displays different colors and lengths at will. The last time I believe I saw JANET’s scalp was in the 1970’s on ‘Good Times’.
Here’s a look at JANET’s most recent music video for her single ‘Feedback’. Yes, that is milk that she is dancing in. I give JANET points for that since the only feedback that milk gives me is from my backside.
JANET JACKSON – ‘Feedback’
BeYONCE covers TINA TURNER’s ‘Proud Mary’ much to the dismay of Mrs. TURNER. However, BeYONCE’s wig does do TINA proud.

Editor’s note: If it is Black History Month then you know how Prince Paul is doing his thing at A.P.T. DP Dot Com’s very own evolutionary journalist MAXINE takes a hot line and makes it a hotter blog.
I was hood-winked! Bamboozled! Led astray! How could I, a so-called fan of Hip Hop, believe for one flying second that a rapper would actually tell a white girl to “get the fuck off the stage!”? Paris Hilton? Puh-leease. She’ll throw you out. Shit, she’ll throw your mother out. Fuck outta here.
Reportedly during a party at the Sundance Film Festival, Curtis and crew were performing and some blonde white chick resembling Paris Hilton (don’t they all resemble Paris Hilton?) jumped on stage to which Fif responded, “Get the fuck off my stage!” Hilton, crying, was then removed from the stage protesting that, “It’s my birthday party!” I should have known this story was too good to be true, besides, Paris and Fif have always been chummy, but maybe, just maybe someone was sick of her shit. Eh, wishful thinking young Max, wishful thinking.
According to Whoo Kid, it was “some security guard nigga” that got kicked off the stage. Reason? The “nigga kept picking shit up off the stage, pushing people back while we was performing.” What? First of all, I don’t give a fuck who is getting thrown off a stage at a fucking 50 Cent concert, but these cats kicked the nigga off the stage for doing his job? Security guard right? So he was um well, securing some shit. Anyway, Paris was right down front, doing that slightly altered dancing thing that cute white girls with blonde hair do at rap concerts.
This is not about Paris Hilton. This is not about 50 Cent. The real story does not surprise me at all, for ages white girls have been using Hip Hop to gain credibility in circles for which they were truly never built. Paris Hilton is a perfect case in point. This is more about the relationships between white women and Black men that go far beyond the “Rapture.”
The media and people who conduct sociology polls will have you believe that more relationships between Black men and white women in modern society shows progress in our desire to relinquish the chains that bound us to slavery. Some take the less kum-by-ya approach and believe that Frances Cress Welsing’s theory about the system of White Supremacy has a little more to do with it.
According to Welsing, the system attacks nine key areas of people’s activity. I know it’s Black History Month but some of you are just going to have to pick up a fucking book to learn the whole concept. I’m focusing on the most familiar part, sex. It is the positioning of a Black man’s ability to “force” himself on white females, leaving the blemish of coloring, which makes this type of relationship so feared in our society, then and today.
It is not an uncommon theory that Black men who date white women are doing so for that pleasurable stroking sensation to the ego that comes with bucking society’s rules and causing frenzy amongst those who really run this shit. Having a blonde on your arm for the company Christmas party is a plus too. We know that this is really a challenge to the white male dominance that has plagued Black men for a million years; you don’t win an arm wrestling match by reaching for your wallet right? The only way to win an arm wrestling match is by having the bigger arm!!! Make sense?
I am not saying that all white girls who run with Hip Hop cats are fucking these said Black men. I’m sure there are tons of white girls who are really into Hip Hop, the music, the lyricism, the lifestyle, sure a lot of them live on the upper West Side of Manhattan, or in Beverly Hills, or Coconut Grove (what up Fla?) but they enjoy the music and it has nothing at all to do with that Mandingo thing.
In our present society, interracial relationships are normal and accepted, as they should be. People should be able to do whomever they like without judgment. I will say though that white girls in the music industry and in general are taking a few liberties that I’m not okay with. I know this is a throw back but, who in the fuck authorized Britney Spears to cover ” My Prerogative?” Back when that song was knocking, if a white girl was on the receiving end of Bobby’s pelvic thrusts, his ass would have been up a pole faster than Kim Kardashian could say “Bush.”
Yes, yes, yes. White men have been fucking Black women for a million years too but the unique relationships and exceptions between Black men and white women are more clearly defined by racist overtones that exist in our everyday society and are ignored until somebody’s ass gets killed. Remember that crazy ass cop who killed his white pregnant girlfriend in Ohio? When I saw their kid on TV, I remember thinking, “Oh shit, that’s a brother, he’s fucked.” Then I turned the damn channel.
I’m not trying to make an argument of the most oppressed. I mean, I’m sure that not all Asian women are hypersexualized and cold-blooded like the characters played by Lucy Liu, right? Right? I’m sure that not all Black women who have problems with their fathers and other Black men in their lives, can’t appreciate the love, affection and value in a Brother. Right? Right?

I had no idea that the Grammys were being broadcast on Sunday night. I prah’lee would have watched the show. Maybe…
Incidentally I found myself re-watching ‘Purple Rain’ for about the fifty-eleventh time. ‘P.R.’ is a damn good movie. It could easily be on the top five lists for musical movies and Blaxploitation films and it is certainly up there for trendsetting 1980’s cinema.
A few years ago I went to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a concert featuring SHARON JONES and the Dap Kings opening for MORRIS DAY and the Time with a screening of the director’s cut of ‘Purple Rain’ to follow the concert. The only thing that would have made the evening better would have been a cameo from his purple majesty. As it was there was a drunken purple thug in the back of the theatre cursing everyone out that wasn’t singing along.
So after I watched the film I peeped the companion DVD which had the production backstory of the film along with some concert footage. This was during the time when Prince was smashing out SHEILA E. How sick was Prince that he could make anything hot? He was a beast in the 1980’s. No one was writing better music than he was and certainly no one was performing better on stage[ll]. I haven’t caught a Prince concert yet so that is something for me to put on my list.
Speaking of concerts… Who is down to see the Roots and friends at the Apollo Theatre? I bought four(4) tickets for the show on Friday, February 22nd @ 7:30pm. 40 Diesel is gonna eff with it. Who else is down? Oh yeah, tickets are fifty cent and I’m not talking about the rapper.
The SHOW Show goes in hard like all great internets celebrities should and gives us fluesys a guidebook for properly swerving through N’Awlins for the 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend. This weekend is like MLK Day times twelve on crack with 30 inch spinning Sprewell rims.
You think Hurricane Starrkeysha left New Orleans fucked the fuck up? The collection of jig madness that is descending upon the Bayou right now will change your mind forever. However, if you follow The SHOW Show’s solid gold advice you will have an enjoyable and bullet wound free weekend.
I needed these pointers a few years back when I was in Philly for the All-Star game…
