To Monica:
I’ve just garnered a greater appreciation for your cd, “The Boy Is Mine”
The First Night is the Shiznit. I’m in love with you and that video all over again.
Can’t forget Ring the Bell either.
Or Misty Blue
Or the Boy is Mine
Or Street Symphony
You were doing great things w/ pop R & B (and still are)
First Night is the JAM though.

Jeezy carrying a nice lil’ body there —
Why does souljah boy look like he’s about to go camping? Backback, waistsack… I understand he’s “Gucci” down, and wants to show all he has, but you don’t have to wear it ALL at the same time.

Bday Bash was gr8.
Shawty Lo tried T.I. But who cares bcuz he is a NOBODY and T.I. Is King of the South. Plies, Jeezy, and T.I. Were the best performances. Plus Kanye West came and for his Real fan u would know KANYE WEST IS FROM THE SOUTH HE WAS BORN IN ATLANTA. HE LATER MOVED TO CHICAGO. SO LOOK THAT UP OR ASK HIM. HE SAYS IT ALL THE TIME.

Y’all trippin! Gucci Mane is the one who looks like he stink…
LMAO @ 19. You are so right. Thats sum gay shit right thur.
Monica looks good. Didn’t she just have another baby? Her stomach tight as hell.
Props to you.
Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, Shawty Lo, V.I.C, are all hot garbage and I’m from the south. NO hateration here - I just know crap when I hear it.
TI and Jeezy my boys though.

Hurts To look

@ # 11
Yes it does look like Monica is more into Rocko than he is into her on this picture and on every picture that they seem to be on together. She is to cute of a girl to be hooked up with an ugly cruddy face NON rapper as himself. She can do much better but I guess if she is into the UGLY THUD TYPE then I guess she got what she wants. I thought that he was going to be good looking as well as a good rapper but he is neither. I just see her with a nice looking guy who could compliment her look and not with a an UGLY SHORT BULLDOG looking THUG (Non rapper). First of all why have kids with someone who isnt on your level as far as looks and income?

The only thing that TI should be king of is KING OF ANOREXIA. He may have a ok looking face, but that boy isn’t sexy, fine or anything on that level. He is short, skinny , pale, frail, boney, skinny, and doen’t make cute babbies at all.

Get Rid of his sorry BUTT!!!
Monday, June 16, 2008 /
Monica is way to cute for that dude he isnt poppin at all. He looks like a UGLY pit bull. I guess she is straight out the hood just to settle for a lil runt like him. I was expecting some LL Kool J type looking man to be her boo, but I see she settled for a little bitty ugly cratter faced thug wanna be to have babbies by. My goodness you can do bad all by yourself. The fools body language speaks MUCH VOLUME. She seems way more into his little bitty butt that he is into her. Send his mutt lokking but back to the kennels.

I Just CAN"T SEE It

@ # 42
I have to agree with you 110%. I cant see what the fuss is all about over that Little frail man called TI. He is just to darn skinny to even think to give hime a compliment of being sexy or fine. He looks like he hasn’t eaten in years and that he sure couldn’t protect a woman if a problem arrose on a dark alley. I guess he needs 24 hour protection of body guards…well “BONE GUARDS” cause lil dude aint got no body at all. I just couldn’t see him being satisfying in the bedroom because there is NOTHING to hold onto at all. I guess he has some sups sperm coming out of that little toothpick body cause I know that he and that monkey looking escape girl have a bunch of little monkeys between the two of them. Somebody that skinny couldnt handle up in my bedroom.

Kanye, Usher & Jeezy looks great. Their performances were HOTT!!!
TI is soooo fine. I think he will ALWAYS be skinny. I think he burns up his energy in “other ways”. LOL. Ask Tiny & his baby mamas. LOL. It’s good to see him perform again. He is one of the best along with Kanye. Shawty Lo needs to know his place and stop demanding so much too soon. He’s a newcomer and he needs to pay his dues instead of demanding to be king asap. Get some hits & albums under your belt first; then, demand respect. What an idiot.
I agree with the opinions about Monica & Rocko. It’s amazing how a relationship changes when a single gets a “little buzz”. I feel for her. I’m sure she sees the signs; but, she trying to ignore them for the sake of her sons. She should have dated Usher before he got with Chilli. He was CRAZY about her back in the days. I’m sure that Usher still cares. If anyone has the Confession Live DVD, the vibe between Usher & Monica was strong during those 2 songs they performed 2gether.
Otherwise, the concert looked like fun in the ATL despite the Lo vs. TI b.s.

Ya’ll Monica gets no love from ya’ll. I have always liked Monica and she is an awesome singer. RE her personal life she has always liked those Thug like guys i.e. C-Murder, Young Buck, the guy who killed himself. Don’t know much about Rocko xcept I like that one song he had out. I think she happy with what she has.
– I would have liked to see TI, Jeezy and Kanye those are my favorite rappers and of course Lil Wayne.

EVERYBODY WAS VIBIN TO HIS SHIT! T.I…The King, and..Shawty Lo is SOOO irrelevant! LoL!

Shawty Lo sounds like he has a mental problem. I’m serious. He’s beyond embarassing to me.
T.I is skinny as hell but sexy as hell @ the same time. How does he do it?
I would’ve loved to see Kanye and Jeezy perform. I PUUUUUTTTTT OOOOONNN!!!! Lol
Is Monica really engaged to Rocko. Is this the same Rocko w/ the song Imma Do Me?

TI is just a “small featured” man. His frame is small, and he ain’t never going to be a thick dude…ever. Even if he got ‘roided up, he’ll just end up looking like Midget Mac from FOL …. but he needs to pull his pants up - that’s never been cute.

I was at Birthday Bash and the best performance was Plies!! Dang why yall ain’t got no pics of him???? He rocked the show all by himself. He didn’t need any guest performers, he kept it 100 wit us!! I loved Jeezy tho, T.I coulda saved his performance for another day!!

Is everything about looks? I am sure I would walk a mile away from TI with him selling guns and shit and on different charges and shit. Leave Rocko and Monica alone, maybe the guy takes care of her needs and loves her right. Yall are a mess.

Monday, June 16, 2008 /
People just need to leave Rocko and Monica alone. It seems like everytime something is either said about them or if there is a picture of them together, u got people trying to analyze their relationship. Remember we are on the outside looking in, we don’t have a clue whats going on behind close doors.

#54, please, please don’t doubt skinny guys when it comes to the bedroom, and that’s all I’ll say about that, lol. #56, I agree w/you about the type of guys Monica goes after, so I don’t know why people are suprised. Plus, they have been together for a min and has been seen w/ her waaaaay before the single came out, so the surprise people are showing is something I don’t understand.

Another thing Mo and Rodney are engaged, she just choose not to wear her ring all the time, he has said she is his wife to be so you all can back off and stop hating, she has a man and a family some of you do any thing other than hate on people who are living there lives and don’t give a shit about you all.
