I am so tired of seeing Mary always looks the same, its time for a change (IMO) and I am sick of those shades that she constantly wears, I mean she rocked them when she was getting high and this way no one could see her eyes, what is the excuse now, hoodrat at its best

@21 no not at all, I from her home town Yonkers and she represents very well, so if I can off as a hater, then just because that;s how use chose to read it, like I said IMO its time for her to change her look, besides if everybody is copying it, then its time for a new trend, thank you

THIS IS THE SHOW OF THE SUMMER!
Dream is perfect to open!
The thing about this show being so high profile and Mary and Jay having worked with EVERYBODY, is that you don’t know from city to city who may come out!

Jay Z and the Obama backfrop…COME ON! He pretended his nonpresense on the campaign trail was due to his ambivalence: Obama or Clinton Obama or Clinton, ahhhh! So, you would think that he would relieve the trauma once he was allowed a sitdown with Obama, right? You would expect that… but because he obviously has 0 knowledge of either candidate and 0 real interest in the political process, the man admitted that his talk with Obama went no further than his career (Jay Z’s!!)… He said Obama’s friend had “extensive knowledge of my career”….lol So, basically, you were able to talk with one of the most dynamic and iconoclastic men to EVER approach the presidency and you allowed the conversation to putter on about your career? Obviously, they talked about your rap career because neither believed you intelligent enough to discuss politics! And, they were right!!! UGH! Stop fronting, dude! If you were asked one question about the political process, let alone Obama, you’d be absolutely stumped. Kanyezzle admits he’s not really tuned into politics, you should to! These celebrities, SMH!
Having said all that, I would have loved to see the show! lol Kanye, Kanye, Kanye! I would have loved to see my boy!

I don’t mean literally on the campaign trail…I mean, nobody’s dragging him along to be a presence during speeches and the like but I would have expected some sort of public endorsement sooner… Whatever…I did go on about this, didn’t I? I just read his interview in Blender, though…so it’s funny, seeing the big Obama backdrop. Con artist, SMH…

I was there and that concert was just insane. i lost my voice cause i was screaming so much. thank goodness, i was late cause of parking and missed the dream. how can anyone take a grown man serious when he’s singing in falsetto??? GTFOH with that!! he tries way too hard.
jay brought out kanye, and jeezy and somebody even let bleek come out of hiding so he could do his thing too.
all in all, i wish i could go to another one. it was that live.

MJB
