Why A HOOD TALKS Will No Longer Write About Or Watch 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'

Last Sunday's KUWTK episode, which I didn't get a chance to watch until last night, completely solidified for me why I stopped following them on Twitter and will continue to not "Keep Up" with them via the tube. My reason? Well, there are a few allow me to explain.

When the family first started out it was obvious Kim K, gave her entire family a platform in which to build their brand. The family unit then, seemed tight nit and close and it was even hilarious to watch the children prank their mom and her being super cool about it. It seemed like it was all good family fun and games with an occasional Kim throwing crying fits, and appearing somewhat shallow as she was hell bent on receiving her designer labels - hence, the infamous "Bentley" episode that caused major drama between herself and her siblings.

However, as time went on the family dynamics began to change as well as the looks of certain family members, but the absolute turning point for me was when Kim K totally manipulated NBA player Kris Humphries, by using her sexual and seductive prowess to pull him into her TV ratings trap while using him to have an extravagant wedding that didn't mean a lick to her - hence, the reason she tried to keep the huge engagement ring he gifted her. 

And this showed me exactly what kind of woman she is; it wasn't about her just being spoiled, shallow and nonintellectual, it was about her being vindictive and conniving while playing on the emotions of these men to get what she wanted. 

So when the next lap she hopped on was Kanye West, I was completely disgusted and appalled; not only because she cheated with the Yeezus rapper knowing he had a girlfriend, but because she was determined to continue using the backs of these men as stepping stools to pull herself to the top of....I still don't know.

And with last Sundays episode being not only boring but absolutely annoying as Kylie Jenner, mouthed off to her mother, Kim K being of no interest, Khloe seemingly trying to find relevance, Kris arguing with Bruce over his "transformations", and Kourtney and Scott appearing money hungry by trying to sell-off a family heirloom from the passing of Scott's parents; I am simply done.

If 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' continue to go on like this the TV ratings will continue to decline , until they become virtually non-existent. #Fade2Black

Lets have a before and after look at the "first family" of reality TV.

Kanye West's 34 Minute Manifesto

Mr. West, is in the building!

Representing life, art and culture to the fullest; in his own voice he narrates the video below and ties it in with incredible imagery, giving an obvious visual of what his words mean.
 

The verbiage is strong, soft at times, aggressive and powerful, as he explains the world as a whole. He gives you the real, the truth, the education, almost as if he's unlocked the "Da Vinci Code" of sorts, while expressing himself enough to help one express ones-self.

This art work is so deep, so touching, so chilling, so uplifting and freeing all at the same time. It's obvious that Kanye, is an intellectual force to be reckoned with as I found myself being drawn into his works - simply because of how he spits the political realness that so many are blind to today. 

And after this manifesto goes viral some people may still not "get it", but for those that do consider yourself one of the lucky ones who's fortunate enough to take heed to the knowledge, so that you may move forward with proper action.

Thank you Mr. West, for being the incredible spirit you are regardless of your reckless actions at times lol. No one is perfect, but we can all strive to be our own "personal perfect" to ourselves - whatever we deem it to be.

Rihanna 'Sparkles' in the Nude and Strikes Down TLC's Hypocrisy

Sexy and seductive singer Rihanna, made quite the "sparkle" when attending the Council of Fashion Designers Awards on Monday, however, legendary girl group 'TLC' wasn't impressed.

Regarding the "Pour It Up" singers attire TLC had this to say, "Every time I see you, you don't have to be naked," said Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins.

"We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot," she added. "We could go around too with booby cakes [breasts] out all day long," she said. 

"It's easy to sell sex," they added. 'It's hard for us to say anything because any time we do, they say, 'Oh, TLC must be jealous,' but I call a spade a spade," T-Boz added.

Ouch! Harsh words for the 26 year old superstar, who originally began her singing career fully clothed yes, but still exuded sexual behavior in the form of dance moves which is native to her home land Barbados, and is known for sexy attire especially during carnival time - which I absolutely enjoy.

Rihanna was always a sexy singer and used her sexual prowess to draw you into her musical world, and although at times she doesn't leave much to the imagination wardrobe wise - her undeniable talent has always spoken for itself.

Regarding Rihanna speaking for herself, she had these choice words for TLC via Twitter "When there's no changing the fact that I'm me, and they're well...they're them."

Uh Oh TLC! Is that the pot calling the kettle?! LOL!

Kim Kardashian is Kanye West's "Perfect B*tch"

Kanye West has gifted his beloved Kim, himself and the public, with a half-naked painting of his new wife wearing a thong, heels and with words inscribed on the piece of artwork "Perfect B*tch" and "My Queen Kim".

 
The painting which Kanye, wants to hang in their bedroom was done by anonymous street artist Bambi, and according to the artist’s agent and manager Leonard Villa, the rapper stated he wanted “something regal but typically Kim."

Regal? I guess regal would be the word that reads "Queen"?

Leonard says, “This has been done on metal and just completed in time for the couple’s return. So far it’s a one-off but we weren’t told the image had to remain exclusive, so she could have more in the pipeline.”

To the public: will you be hanging this artwork over your bed?

On a side note: What did rapper 50 Cent have to say about Kanye's painting to Kim? 

And...what did Kim's former beau Ray J, send to the couple as a wedding gift?

Fox News Hires a "Clueless" Stacy Dash

Fox News hires a "clueless" Stacey Dash, while giving her a platform to voice her conservative views that caused her to not only lose fans, but triggered a backlash of inappropriate comments which tore the 47 year old actress a part. 

Does Stacey Dash, culminate her opinions from the top of her head or from books? What do you think?

This should be interesting to say the least. Move on over Elisabeth Hasselbeck!

KimYe Made it to the Alter

The #MostTalkedAboutCouple became "most talked about" when Kanye West stated, "Me and my girl in the exploitation business." Ever since then its been headline mania for the twosome.

Their lavish wedding ceremony however remained under radar and away from prying eyes, apparently wanting to keep the moment near and dear to their hearts and definitely not wanting outsiders to speculate every trivial matter.

The bride wore an elegant lace Givenchy gown while the groom, donned an all black tux also by designer Givenchy. They said their "I do's", in front of a wall of all white flowers and in front of their most beloved family and friends. However, one beloved family member that flew out in support of his sister's wedding day, left abruptly and allegedly in tears after he was criticized by the bride about his weight size.

Robert Kardashian admitted to being upset about his weight while at his sister's wedding and allegedly Kim, made her brother's body size out to be a big deal. Is this why Rob left the wedding? Did Kim think Rob, might mess up the family wedding pictures?

Another beloved family member and best man was missing rapper and businessman Jay Z, and his wife of six years singer, Beyonce. Although Beyonce, did send her congratulations through Instagram displaying a picture of the couple with baby North, from their #MostTalkedAbout Vogue shoot.

This time around Kim opted to take rapper Kanye West's last name, introducing herself as Mr. and Mrs. Kanye West,

which is a huge step for the reality star since she refused to take her previous husband's last name Kris Humphries, as they argued about it on camera during her reality show. Taking Wests' last name; does this mean true love for the E! Queen?

After the private nuptials and reception that evening, brunch was served the next day in which most guests began to make their exit. 

The newly married couple remained in Europe for their honeymoon making visits to Prague and Ireland, before heading back home to Los Angeles to reunite with their 11 month old baby girl, whose celebrating her first birthday in June with Poppa Ye.

Congrats to the happy couple; life is but a dream.
