The First REAL Back Barbie

Black President. Black Barbie. I think we made it in America.

"Is Your Personality As Bomb As Your Pussy?"

I won't say much, just know that this is a must read.

“After I put this pussy on him he’s not going anywhere” is the dumbest statement since Bruce Ismay proclaimed, “God himself couldn’t sink this ship“. It didn’t matter how well built the Titanic was, that bitch is at the bottom of the Atlantic. And it doesn’t matter how tight or wet your vagina is, if he wants to leave your ass he will leave your ass. We’re living in a world where rap songs have gassed girls up about the importance of being the best and while it’s extremely important to know how to take dick like a champ, a yanking pussy is not the glue that will bond you to that man. Let’s have a reality check—All Walls Are Created Equal.

R&B Cypher????

Howard University's innovators are always formulating creative ways to showcase talent; consequently, it is no surprise that HU's Endustry Power Players found a clever way to alter our definition of a "Cypher." Below is the first round of Endustry Power Players’ R&B Cypher, which features three of EPP's members singing to some of Alicia Keys' classic songs. Check it out & be amazed.

"J. Clone."

Nicki Minaj went through it with Lil Kim, Drake & Big Sean went through it with Ludacris, now Fayeteville's  own J Cole is having "shots" fired at him by Canibus. Maybe this is a sort of 'rites of passage' in the rap world. You haven't made it until you have at least one diss under your belt.

On this track titled "J Clone" the veteran rapper Canibus is accusing J Cole of not properly paying homage although J Cole has already named him as an influence (sound familiar?)

VOGUE | D(iscussion)

For this VOGUE | D(iscussion) we want to hear what you think of this interesting and unique tattoo...

I kept saying I cannot, I shall not, I will not believe it until I saw the PROOF. A Los Angeles native whose name remains anonymous actually took Aubrey "Drake" Graham serious when he said "tat my f*ckin name on you so I know it's real." The thing that is most surprising is where she chose to get the tattoo. HER FOREHEAD!!!!!!!! Well Voguers what do you think?

Drum Roll Please...

Last night the grammy nominations were announced and I'm sure we are all anxiously awaiting for the show to air!

The females who are taking the floor that night are Rihanna with a total of seven nominations, Adele with six nominations, and Nicki Minaj trailing behind with four nominations. As for the men, we have Young Money screaming loudly as Lil Wayne leads with five nominations and Drake trails behind with four!

What surprised me is King Bey (Beyonce) was only nominated for two awards (Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Party” and Best Long Form Music Video for I Am…World Tour.) But in other news the man J. Cole was also nominated for a Grammy this year and he expressed excitement via his Twitter account as he tweets "I come from Fayetteville, NC. Shit is unreal. Thank you for the love. See you at the Grammy's." Congratulations J. Cole!

Okay, okay without further ado Vogue | Diaspora presents...
