Wale's 'That Way' ft Rick Ross & Jeremih (Official Video) Hits Youtube

Posted: 31 Aug 2011 02:45 PM PDT




      Another video is getting attention on Youtube. It is the official video of rapper Wale (full name: Olubowale Victor Akintimehin) for his song 'That Way,' featuring Jeremih and Rick Ross.

      It is a really smooth video and was uploaded just over a day ago ( on August 30 2011) yet it has already scored 45811 views and still counting.

     Wale was discovered in 2006 by producer Mark Ronson, and became popular with his song "Dig Dug (Shake It)" and was signed on to Alison Records in 2007 where he released several mixtapes and featured on MTV and several magazines.

He signed up with Interscope Records in 2008 for $1.3 million, and his debut album, 'Attention Deficit' was released in 2009.
     Now Wale is signed on with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group and where all the members released a compilation album, Self Made Vol 1 on May 23, 2011.
His official website;www.walemusic.com uploaded the new video for 'This Way'.
Mind you it strictly Hip hop and not 'Afro hip hop' but with the talent displayed, adding the 'Afro' to his swing would give many of our current rap champions a run for their money.

Signs of an insecure man: Should you date or marry an insecure guy?

Posted: 31 Aug 2011 04:45 AM PDT


                                                 You cannot make yourself small enough to make anyone feel bigger

     I am a single passionista on the dating scene in addition to being a love journalist. So if it doesn't come across my inbox as a "Dear Abiola" advice question, it definitely comes across my dating life as a real life Abiola dilemma.

     We all know that confidence is supremely sexy. It feels wonderful to be in the presence of someone who genuinely feels good about life, feels great about you and enjoys being in his or her own skin. However, if we live long enough we all have had our moments of self-loathing. So who doesn't understand insecurity?
Recently I had a mini-relationship with a gorgeous and intelligent man whose insecurity was off the meter. Let's call him Cutie. I classify a mini-relationship as one where you date someone for under three months.
My first indication that Cutie was insecure was that he asked me to dress down for our first date. He said, "You always look so nice. Abiola, I don't have a sense of style, lots of money or a lot of nice clothes. Can you just dress down or maybe wear something similar to the old jeans I'm wearing when we go out to dinner?" That should have been my signal to bail, but I was feeling him. Instead I said, "I don't care about your clothes but I'm going to be me so you just go ahead and be you. You'll look great in whatever you wear."
He is insecure if he asks you to be less than you are.
No man or woman should ever ask you to downplay who you are. If they think that you are too much in any way then they should not be with you. As long as you are being a courteous, polite and respectable human being to the people around you then you should feel comfortable being you -- and so should he.
He is insecure if he is jealous of your friends.
This man was also extremely jealous and said repeatedly he didn't understand "why a woman like me would be with a guy like him." Huh? He wanted to know all about my male friends; who was gay vs. who was straight and might be interested in me in the future. Cutie also needed check-ins of where I was at any given and panicked whenever I didn't answer the phone. He started out as a fun and awesome guy but his insecurity quickly became a drain.
He is insecure if he thinks that you are "too good" to be with him.
I felt that because I really liked this guy I could love or cheer-lead him into knowing his worth. But the number one rule in dating, relationships and friendships is that you can't want more for anyone than they want for themselves. This guy doubted his looks, fitness, financial status and education; everything that I liked about him. I believed that he was the bees knees but he didn't. And there was nothing I could do to convince him otherwise -- mainly because it is not a girlfriend's job to convince an insecure man that he is a good person.
Why trying to love an insecure man just can't work.
Write this down somewhere: You cannot make yourself small enough to make anyone feel bigger.
In any relationship we are there to enjoy and support each other while becoming better people as a result of our union. Anything less is beneath you. You are not your partner's therapist or coach. Lesson learned, again.

MTV VMAs score biggest audience since '93

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 02:54 AM PDT



       Beyonce's baby bump and Lady Gaga dressed in drag at the Video Music Awards brought MTV its biggest audience since the network has been measuring its viewership.
   MTV says its annual show honoring the top music videos attracted 12.4 million viewers last  Sunday night, a nine percent growth from last year and a network record at least since 1993, when Nielsen and MTV began keeping viewership records.
     Lady Gaga dressed as her male alter-ego to open the show, where Adele and Katy Perry were the top winners with three trophies each.
    But Beyonce overshadowed their performances and prizes with her own silent announcement: The 29-year-old entertainer revealed her pregnancy with husband Jay-Z by cupping her growing belly for photographers as she arrived. Later, after performing on the show, she unbuttoned her jacket and openly rubbed her tummy on stage

Tee A celebrates 15 years on stage

Posted: 29 Aug 2011 09:31 PM PDT


    One of the pioneers of stand-up comedy in Nigerian Tunde Adewale, a.k.a. Tee A is rolling out the drums, in celebration of his 15th year 'on the stage'.

     Regarded as a super-MC, writer, presenter, comedian and entrepreneur, the University of Lagos graduate has built a career as an international entertainer; working, through the years on private engagements, big-venue concerts and his own solo show in Lagos, London and the US.
    And he's build a chain of businesses along the line. Adewale is the founder-CEO of First Class Entertainment, the Owner of TymeOut Lounge in Ikeja, Lagos, the Executive Producer of TymeoutWith Tee A and host of the Live 'N Naked series.
And it all started nearly two decades ago when, as a young man, Tee A found his talent, and developed it through exposure to Bill Cosby materials and invaluable support from comedy grand godfather Ali Baba.
   The comedian confirmed to close friends he's 'going all out' to 'thank God, my fans, clients, colleagues and supporters' for a wonderful and amazing 15 years.
We're told a DVD is in the works, as well as comedy concerts that'll hold in Lagos and Abuja.
The concerts, sources say, will be reminiscent of the old Live 'N Naked series, and will feature mostly Tee A materials from the past, present and future.
   'It's difficult to believe we've done 15 years already' Tee A tells us in a yet-to-be-published interview. 'It all looks like yesterday. But we must celebrate; we must use this opportunity to set a new agenda for the industry, and also challenge ourselves to move on to the next level...'
    He says: 'Yes we're doing a 3-in-1 event. But for now I'll leave you to continue guessing what these three elements are'.
