Terrence J you are NOT the black American dream. get out of here. maybe the BET generation might aspire to be like you but I certainly don’t want my son growing up to be some ignorant, corny, inarticulate man who is incapable of saying anything worthwhile or vaguely intelligent. You have brought nothing of worth to the table aside from perpertrating the base and ignorant filth that airs on BET

The Wife Ci look good, I really don’t like the pony tail thou, she should have just wore that short cute, she wore on Tyra Banks. Lil Mama looks better for once. And everybody else except Chrisette Michelle looks great. No offense to her. But, I don’t like the short due, and she don’t even look like she wanna be their.

Um, Ciara was a HEADLINER to the people who posted this. She didn’t just appear there. SMH, need to get ya info right.
And to all the baldheaded azz hoez that says Ciara has implants–where’s the proof? She looks FLAWLESS! Must you tired skanks always find a reason to hate?

Just glad to see black people doing something positive. I don’t think hosting 106& Park is ignorant and I know Terrence is involved in Steve Harvey’s mentoring programme and the African American Achievers Scholarship….Ignorant? I think not. He might look “corny” but that doesn’t mean he is
T.I. has the look of someone on probation lol.

I’m glad to see that they let T.I. out of the house for this one. I don’t like Chrisette’s haircut. It doesn’t flatter her. Ciara looks cute but Lil Momma doesn’t. Sometimes I think she just tries too hard. Isn’t Flo-Rida spelled like Flo-Rida and not Flo-Rider? Idk. Everyone else looks good though and I’m glad to see that some many people came out for this event.

@ 12. I agree. Those two, Rocsi and Terrence, are annoying as hell and Terrence is soooo soft! AJ was too but atleast he didn’t look like a punk while he interviewed people. Those two get on my nerves!

@ # 30. WTF
I have always thought TI was overrated IMO but he aint the worst either with artist like Soulja Boy with number one songs I guess people feel the rap game needs him. I for one do not support him based off the stuff he raps about and the stuff he was caught trying to by in my region the homicide rate is at an all time high and all the victims are young black men under 21 so I have no sympathy for TI and others who chose to make stupid choices that don’t benefit their communities and African Americans as a whole. I am only 23 and I feel like by the time I turn 30 everybody I grew up with (especially the males will be dead or in jail).
I sort of feel like TI would not have been their if he wasn’t earning community service credit. He could have been doing this the last election right?

because we all that know that ciarra
didnt have that much boobs when it
first came out
i went to the hip hop summit and it was fabulous
they had great topics and allowed the audience to
ask questions, they definitely got the youths attention
regarding voting and seeing TI
he did his thing
too bad nobody performed

CIARA NEEDS TO SIT HER FAKE ASS DOWN. HOW MANY HORSES AND COWS DID CIARA KILL FOR HER HAIR AND PANTS? HOW MANY GALLONS OF SILICONE IS IN HER BRA?
LOL @ TERRENCE J’S SHIRT. IF HE’S THE “BLACK AMERICAN DREAM” THAN WE’RE IN TROUBLE!

The proof in Ciara’s titties are before and after pics. Cmon now before she didnt have two nipples to rub together to make enough cleavage, now all of the sudden *poof.* I was feeling her because she was natural and different. So disappointed in her & other people who feel they have to put that nasty ass unnatural shit in their bodies to feel “normal” Oh well…do you Ciara.

Until Ciara says she has breast implants, then NONE OF Y’ALL TIRED AZZ, BALD AZZ, UGLY AZZ, MANLY AZZ, GAY AZZ, IGNORANT AZZ, FAKE AZZ, FAT AZZ, TRASHY AZZ, HATIN’ AZZ HOEZ CAN SAY SHIT! Ever consider thinkin’ it was natural growth! Look at Tyra Banks, Gabrielle Union. Those women didn’t get breast implants, they just sprouted late in life! Dumb azz dogs thinkin’ they know somethin’!
Moreover, even if she did get breast implants, SO THE FUCK WHAT?! It’s HER mutha-fuckin’ body–she can do whatever the hell she wants with it. I dare one of y’all elepehants to stop her, lmfaoooo!
And to the cunt that says she’s “behaving inappropriately”, WTF is wrong with you? She’s taking a PHOTO! What the hell is she supposed to do, stand there and look dead? LMFAOOOO, ignorant azz train-wrecks speakin’ about shit they don’t know about. Ciara will pose in any damn manner she pleases because she’s the PRINCESS! Respect her, bitchez!

@53,
you dont have natural growth like that over 6-8months. She’d have to have gained vweight all over for that to be considering natural growth. As you can clearly see, Cici is STILL in tip top shape.
And what are you spazin over??! Geez!
