I agree Bitter Brother, that is a “shag” not a “mullet”.

LOL @ Blaxx, but for real…I saw Kanye talking last night on CNN and really thought something was wrong with him. I was like you gots to be mo’careful what you smoke.

This is why I would fear being rich and famous in the music biz. Seriously, I’d be gone. Half-fro or skullet–I’d rock the George Jefferson; I’d have a hitler ’stache; I’d be putting cocaine, heroin, all up on the mic and snorting it while I was performing. No self control. Yes, I would fear it.

Lol I feel you zak.

See this is what happens when people gas up artists that are “pushing the envelop” so now Kanye wants to rock a mullet and it won’t surprise me if some sheep start following along. This is further proof of cultures blending, Kanyes rocks a mullet and everywhere I turn I see young brothas sporting mohawks real heavy ever since Puff reintroduced it during his NYC marathon extravaganza knowing damn well Mr. T was the only known black man with a hawkie lol. What’s gonna be next, Sportin’ Waves or how about the return of the Super S-Curl??

whatver. all these styles come in a distant 2nd place to the “let your soul-glo” jheri curl. when kanye steps on stage and you see the top of the activator pump bottle sticking out his back pocket, THEN we gon’ need to have an intervention.

NN, “when kanye steps on stage and you see the top of the activator pump bottle sticking out his back pocket, THEN we gon’ need to have an intervention” FUNNNN-NY. And to think I begged my mama to let me get a jheri curl. Thank God she said NO!

Kanye was always crazy. Before the fame and before his mothers death. Its sad to watch it all unfold. I hope he gets his mind together one day. Its ironic though his crazyness is what gives us his music and for the most part looking at his whole body of work I would say it is pretty good. Same thing with little the drugs helps him create good music.

Watching Kanye is like watching a train wreck you dont want to watch but you have to watch.

16. Mrs. Rivers wrote:

Kanye just needs to be comfortable with himself and step out the closet. I think he will feel a whole lot better about himself and will be free to express who he truly is.

17. wouldn't you like to know? wrote:

how exactly is he crazy??? what? because he did something different to his hair? why does he have to be crazy, because he marches to the beat of his own drummer??? damn can the brotha live and be the individual he wants to be? the brotha is very talented, he loves all forms of the arts. just because some of us don’t get his style, does not make him crazy…

i give the brotha credit for doing him. i must be crazy too then, cuz i like kanye’s style…

WYLTK, MJ wears a mask, is he not crazy? That’s his style tho. LOL!

19. wouldn't you like to know? wrote:

i really don’t think MJ is crazy either, eccentric maybe, but not crazy. i consider ppl like adolph hitler, george bush, jeffery dahmer, etc, crazy…

just because a person wears their hair or clothes different than the average jane or joe, to me, does not make them crazy…

WYLTK,

“i consider ppl like adolph hitler, george bush, jeffery dahmer, etc, crazy…” LMAO

“just because a person wears their hair or clothes different than the average jane or joe, to me, does not make them crazy…” I agree, but your boy Kanye ain’t all there (right now).

21. wouldn't you like to know? wrote:

well kanye just lost his mother and he’s the only child. maybe he’s just grieving in his own special way. the guy is an exceptional visual artist, so that means he sees things in a more abstract and unusual way than the average person. it’s a fine line between genius and insanity….and i truly believe that this man is gifted.

22. zak wrote:

Hey WYLTK,

I didn’t say the dude was crazy. I was just saying if I had his lifestyle I’d be doin’ all the cocaine. That doesn’t make ME crazy, does it?

23. ~JJG~ wrote:

WYLTK, I don’t think Kanye is crazy. I do think he is still very much grieving. I definitely have empathy regarding his lost, having lost my mother when I was 24, but I just don’t like the mullet. Maybe I could have gotten down with him if he revived the high top…nah (smh)…LOL.

24. wouldn't you like to know? wrote:

LMAO yes zak YOU are crazy…i told you that a looooooong time ago! but i love it. if i had his lifestyle i’d be the new age CHONG to your crazy ass cheech…LOL

all my clothes would be made out of hemp…

And o yeah, Kanye is a very intentional person. He semi-knows what he is doing…LOL.

26. wouldn't you like to know? wrote:

LOL i feel you JJG, to each his own. everybody has their preferences…i ain’t mad at that.

i’m no huge fan of the shag, but i just give him credit for doing something he liked and saying to hell with everyone else’s opinion. if he likes it, i love it…

we have something in common, i lost my Mom at 24 too. and some ppl might just question the way i’m grieving her as well…i guess that’s why i feel the need to defend Mr. West.

27. ~JJG~ wrote:

Aww, I’m so sorry for your lost (this is recent correct?). Girl, people are probably questioning how you are grieving. I know they (friends, family, and etc.) questioned my grief path. Grieving is person-centered. No one can tell you how you should grieve. Take your time. Cry, grow, challenge, and question. BIIIGGGG HUUGGG!

yeah JJG, i lost her 7 months ago. quite frankly i don’t give two shullets what a person thinks of me or my choices…losing my Mom has made me so much stronger, stronger than i could ever imagine. before her death, the thought of losing her made me feel like i could be in a mental institution. but surprisingly, i’m much stronger than i’ve ever been in my life. she’s instilled that strength in me, and for her, and that, i’m sooo thankful. BIG HUGS and BIG UPS to my fellow jamaican sistren!

WYLTK, my mom suffered from diabetes–I lost her in March ‘99. I was still 28 at the time and thought to myself, “Gosh, my mom won’t get to see me really become a woman–I’m not even 30 yet!!”

I am glad that you know sista, that it DOES get easier–it really does! At first, I couldn’t even say “Gladys Knight” w/o bursting into tears (she was my mom’s FAV-O-RITE), but now, whenever I hear “Make Yours A Happy Home”, “On and On,” etc., I scream, “Heeeeeeyyyy–that was my momma’s CUT!”

LOLs thanx JJG. and you’re right, you never know. i gotta start going to my family’s reunions. My fam is HUGE. i gotta hit you up and get your last name…you never know. i had the biggest crush on a cousin for a minute, even when my aunts told me we were related, i still didn’t give a shit. from then on i knew i had to start going to our reunions….i just might catch you in the hamptons this year…cuzzo.

“i had the biggest crush on a cousin for a minute, even when my aunts told me we were related.” Hahaha! That is too funny, because I had a crush on one of my cousins as well. I met him for the first time when I was 14. Homeboy was fine and was disappointed when I heard the news. LOL! Girl, my family is HUGE too, although I don’t know a lot of them. My grandfather had about 15 kids and I only know about 8 cousins from that side of the family. And since when did Jamaican’s have family reunions? I always thought that was an American thing (which I envy). LOL!

36. wouldn't you like to know? wrote:

LOL, yes girl, every few years my fam has a reunion at a cousin’s house in the hamptons. i missed all but one. i have asian fam, haitian fam, english fam, indian fam…so we’ve decided to reunite with each other every so often, just to see how everyone is doing. it’s pretty hard to keep up with everyone on the day to day…

LOL @ “since when did Jamaican’s have family reunions?”

cosign on the funniness of “since when did Jamaican’s have family reunions?”

WYLTK,

I would have hemp grafted onto my skin, somehow sporting a Jesus piece all up on my chest playing a mean ass game of cricket. (I’m not even religious, but I’d be so fucked up my only excuse to the public would be that I like the messiah’s beard).

38. ~JJG~ wrote:

WYLTK, I am not surprised by the cultural and racial diversity in your family…like my grandmother says we are all “mix-up,mix-up” and then she recites the Jamaican Coat of Arms, “Out of many, One People.” LOL!

LOL WYLTK and Zak, it’s true, I don’t know no Jamaican people that have family reunions (even amongst my friends that still deyah yard). We have gatherings and baby showers that turn into the biggest bashments of the year, but no reunions. Maybe it’s because the family reunions would require passports and papers for some. LOL!
