Make sure you pick up the newest issue of Radar Magazine to check out the “New Radicals” feature (yeah that’s me mean-muggin in the back). Here is the article:
(L-R) Jam Donaldson, 34 (hotghettomess.com) / Rod McCollom, 36 (rod20.com) / Eskay, 26 (nahright.com) / Angel Laws, 23 (concreteloop.com)
Who They Are:
The bomb-lobbing vanguard of the new black blogosphere.
WHY THEY’RE RADICAL:
After a blitzkrieg of posts stoked national outrage over the Jena Six case, writers like Angel, Jam, Eskay, and Rod can no longer be ignored. With fresh perspectives on diverse aspects of black culture (Angel and Eskay focus on entertainment, Rod chimes in on gay issues, and Jam has crafted what can only be described as the ghetto-fabulous version of Vice’s “Don’ts” page, recently adapted by BET into the popular show We Got To Do Better), the four are the most welcome correction to American opinionating since Don Imus got canned.
WHERE TO SEE THEM NEXT
Weighing in with Wolf Blitzer on the next travesty of American justice – or fashion.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN
Says Angel, “Right now I’m just taking it day by day, taking more classes and getting more information so I don’t get, you know, “ho’d”.
Shout out to Brian Marsh, Matt Salacuse, Naomi, Jam, Eskay, Rod, and everyone from the shoot. Good times.

#12 You are dead wrong. But i see your point. LMAO. Angel do your thing girl.
You all look a mess
Some of you people need to fall back and give respect when it’s due. Angel is on the come up. She started the blog with no connections and now she is getting featured in magazines. Obviously she is doing something right. & She ain’t even ugly, she has the fierces look in that shot. I wish she got the front though.
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angel I love your site girl. Keep up the good word
Congrats, Angel!
congratz girl..they should have had you in the front though..b/c you are the only one lookig fierce.
ANGEL, PLEASE DELETE #12,….SOME PEOPLE CAN’T APPRECIATE SUCCESS SO THEY BECOME INSECURE AND MAKE IRRELEVANT, POINTLESS, AND STUPID REMARKS. CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!!!!! YOU ARE THE SHIT!!!!!!!
aw snap, go ‘head angel! i’ll def go cop that.
This is a really good look. Congratulations b/c you’re definitely doing it…
go head angel.ladidadi lookin good with the cute pout
I just KNEW eskay was fine. I always knew it in my heart and now it’s been confirmed.
Well done Angel. Keep it up.
well concratulations
however, since when do ugly women like Angel get to comment dailsy on the looks of others?? SMH
If i were you i wouldnt be so quick to shout about who you is in the picture. Your picture should be on that hotassmess blog that belonmgs to that other rather nice looking lady. To show that im not a hater i challenege any man finding Angle attactive in that picture to say so (if you not embarassed ha ha)
seeing th face of a hater being like that made my day, goodnight.
Check you out Angel…Congrats!
and just to clarify im hardly a hater, im just applying the blogging concepts you live by when you critic everrything out there, my heartfelt congratulations on making it, and i will always support the blog.
BUT THAT BEING SAID,,,,,,,,,,,I GOTTA CALL A SPADE A SPADE.
IF THE LADIES ON HEAR ARE SAYING ESKAY IS FINE, THEN SURELY WE THE MEN ON HERE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON ANGELS LOOKS. LET THERE NOT BE DOUBLE STANDARDS PLEASE,
ANGEL IS TALENTED, BUT THERE IS A REASON WHY SHE WAS IN THE BACK OF THE PICTURE AND NOT THE FRONT LOL.
AND @ #12 you got a point!!!
IF THIS BLOG EVER FAILS (GOD FORBID) AT LEAST ANGEL IS A DEAD CERT FOR THAT BIGGIE ROLE IN THE UPCOMING MOVIE.
I LOVE BLOGGING!!! HA HA
I found the Loop long time ago and told all my friends about it, now it seems like everyone knows, and I’d personally like to take credit for that
(I’m joking, by the way)
Congrats Angel. And you’re the youngest too! Good job!
O SNAP….DOIN BIG THINGS….. I C YALL!!
Damn Star…. u cant spell for shit
CONGRATS ON THE ARTICLE ANGEL…
CONTINUE TO BE “RADICAL” BOO!!!
Angel, keep doing you and keep rising to the top. These ignorant ass numb nuts need to lick the balls of a dog! Don’t ever let them get under your beautiful black skin sister. They are nothing more than jealous hoodrats with no life. You know your momma aint done her job when you come in someone else’s house (with an open invitation) and piss on their sofa. Y’all need some serious home training. You lucky I don’t have management privileges cause your raunchy black asses would be 86′ed out the muthafuckin site for your rudeness and your lack of class!
Kiss my ass and Angel’s ass too!
SIDEBAR: @ ANGEL…
I know you can take “it” but some people truly need to be put in their respective place(s).
ie: DON’T ENTER INTO A PERSON’S DOMAIN AND THROW SALT.
What humors me most is that I don’t see the nay sayers showing their faces on any avatars. Leads me to believe that they’re merely insecure bloggers w/nothing better to do then attempt to rile up a positive post!
LOL I KNEW ID CATCH HATE FOR BEING HONEST. IF WOMEN ARE COMMENTING ON ESKAY’S LOOKS WHY CAN I COMMENT ON ANGEL’S LOOKS?
CALM DOWN THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BLOGS. I VISIT EVERYDAY AND PEOPLE UP IN HERE TEAR DOWN AND CRITIC CELEBS LOOKS, DRESS AND SO ON. IM HAPPY ANGEL AND THE SITE MADE IT BIG. BUT IM JUST CALLING A SPADE A SPADE ON THAT PICTURE. BAN ME? FOR WHAT? IM SURE EVERY OTHER MAN PICKING UP THE MAGAZINE WHEREVER WILL FEEL WHAT I MEAN. IM NOT TAKING AWAY FROM ALL THE GREAT THINGS SHE HAS ACHIEVED, AND IM HONESTLY HAPPY FOR HER WISHING HER CONTINUED SUCCESS. BUT IF SE KEEP POSTING HER PICS WE KEEP CALLING A SPADE A SPADE. AS THEY SAY HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!!
HOWEVER IF IT MAKES YOU ALL FEEL BETTER, OKAY HAVE IT YOUR WAY, ANGEL IS A DIME PIECE THEN.
