RADAR MAGAZINE FEATURE, HOLLER!
Sunday, November 18, 2007
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Angel am proud of you! Mad love from Europe being sent your way.
You have managed to keep this site very classy something alotta other black bloggers clearly lack.
Lord help that fool STAR.
I think you got turned down by a chick or chicks tthat Beautiful Angel reminds you of. Can´t fathom how by that simple incomplete shot upthere you already knew and Judged Angels looks and even went as far as presuming that all dudes must like what you prefer like you speak for all red-blooded males.
GO READ A BOOK!
You don´t have to hate on everry post STAR, contrary to what you have been “false taught” about blogging.
Now go clean up and use some detergent this time instead of soap and comeback smiling and in a congratulative mood.
Kapish!
I´ll send you happy thoughts….

Y’all can say what you want about her looks, I won’t even call you a hater cause we are all entitled to our opinions, however you can’t say shit about her talent, drive, ambition, focus, or determination. Angel, I emailed you long ago about how much I enjoyed your blog and that I believed you would become very successful one day. This is only the tip of the iceberg and I know you will accomplish so much more in this life. You are truly blessed. I wish I had the kind of vision you have when I was 23!
