I heart Ye

Mary is giving me flashback of her and Jay

its too many people to comment on sooooo i’ll keep it simple

everybody looks great (from a quick glance)

where the hell has avant been??

and keyshias performance outfit was cute

kanye looked like he brought the house down,from what i heard he was the best performer (like we didnt already know he would be DUH!)

solanges kid seems sooo outgoing and seems like a people person already lol

I guess matthew decided to pay attention to solange now that shes gettin some recognition…i swear i am team knowles except when it comes to matthew,but hey he has done alot right it just doesnt help that he seems sneaky

uh lets see….yeah thats all i seem to remember that i wanted to say.

oh yeah and j,holiday needed another single cuz i went to see him and trey songz on tour and his set was HOT he really got everyone into it…not just the ladies like trey songz (whom i love) did you guys post on his new haircut??

i’m ranting now..done

Looks like fun I must get down to Essence one year!
Baby Daniel is too cute..so is J Holiday as long as his mouth is CLOSED!!!
In my opinion LL’s still got it!
As far as the performances some of those folks I would have loved to see perform others…. EH NO….

Solange lookin really nice
chris brown is and always lookin sexy
goooooo rihanna

Chris Brown looks constipated.

Looks like fun! Mary, Imma be needin’ to borrow those boots! LOL

Solange looks beautiful! Rihanna looks fierce as always. That chic is in a class all her own as far as her image is concerned. Love it!

Solange looks AMAZING in every shot! Love those pink & black shoes. Her fashion game is most def on point.

Mary is a bad B! She looks great, as always.

LL owns the same damn outfit in multiple colors. When is he gonna retire the damn skull shirts/jeans combo.

C.Brown your pants are super tight boy! Still love ya though.

Everybody looks good, I agree. Though, Mary looks like Martha Stewart, and Bow Wow is one skinny twig, still looks like he’s 12. My baby Keysh looks wonderful as always. I tell you, the second Solange’s son turns 15, he will be a superstar.

Solange looks good. As do most of the other women. Wish I could have been there. I hope this comment doest get moderated like all my other ones for no reason. Can you all please explain the basis of your moderation. Do you just not like some of your faithful visitors. (ME since 2005)

LL AND BORIS DAMN YALL MAKIN A SISTER ALL HOT AND BOTHERED!!

I HOPE BORIS IS WIT KEISHA CUZ SHE A UPGRADE FRM 50 YR OLD UGLY NO BREAST HAVING, BALD HEAD DYKE ASS NICOLE ARI-PARKER LOL.

MA GURL CHILLI STILL LOOK BETTA DAN DESE YOUNG CHICKS. USHER DONE MESSED UP BREAKIN UP WITH HER.

CHRIS ROCK IS THE MAN, AND HIS WIFE IS SO PRETTY. SHES WAT TRACEE ELLIS ROSS’ UGLY DOG ASS WOULD LOOK LIKE IF SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Essence was the BOMB this year! Kanye and Mary tore it DOWN! I’m still tryin to recuperate, lol!

so many pics…Mary looks refreshed! Rihanna’s dress is nice…can’t stand the gloves! Solange…I’m sorry but why is she here? Sanaa and her fella are really a cute couple. Can’t wait for Patti to reunite with her group. Ummm…who else? will return!

Awesome pics …. ATTENTON all people who don’t look like Beyonce. I was told that the public does not want to support an artist who looks like me{long legs, brown skin}. They think that we only want one type. does that mean that I should hate myself because God made me different from Beyonce? {I love her but the hater used her name so I am using it here, no hate, no stan}

I was told to look at TV and find one artist that looks like me and then I may have a chance. I said that no one looks like me {long legs, brown skin}. I was told exactly no one wants to see that because it’s not appealing!

thoughts???

I am only posting this because I want the world to know that this is not right.

I also read some of the comments made about Angel on another post. So should she just end her dreams because she doesn’t look like Beyonce. No way. I think that there needs to be a change and its not right.

I posted a blog about my conversation on my myspace page. Please read and leave a comment. I am not hear to shamelessly self promote, I just know that I will get my point out to the masses!!!

CONCRETE LOOP PLEASE LET MY COMMENT GO UNEDITED!!! ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE.

LIGHT SKIN, DARK SKIN, GAY, STRAIGHT, BLACK, WHITE, WHEN WILL IT BLEND???

Smooches & Deuces,

AND WTF DAT OPPORTUNIST, TAKIN LIBERTIES WITH BLACK PEOPLE AL SHARPTON DOING??? DAT NIGGA DONT DO SHIT FOR US—HE BE TELLIN US 2 PLAY THE RACE CARD WITHOUT TELLING US 2 DO BETTA IN EDUCATION AND TELLIN DEADBEAT PARENTS TO STEP UP. HE JUS WANTS 2 BE IN FRONT OF A CAMERA 4 CHEAP PROMOTION (HE WAS AT BET AWARDS WIT DOSE RAPPERS)!

MARY LOOKS SO DAMN STUPID IN THAT OUTFIT WITH THE JEANS! THAT SHIT IS NOT HOTT! SHE KNOW HOW TO FUK UP A GOOD OUTFIT DONT SHE!

I’M SORRY, BUT ISN’T IT CALLED THE ESSENSE “SOUL” MUSIC FESTIVAL? I DON’T RECALL THAT RIHANNA SINGS SOUL MUSIC SO WHAT SENSE WAS IT FOR HER TO BE THERE? ALSO, WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING WITH HER BACK IN THAT PIC??

I would so have sweatedddddd out my perm to be there…I’m hatin for real.
Everyone looks nice love MJB boots-Fire and Boris is just too damn fine
Keisha P A.K.A rudy is such a pretty girl/woman
I’m a fan of everyone of pretty much everyone there so mad I missed it!

i don’t like chris brown’s body and he rolls it like a female. that’s not sexy at all
solange is getting on my good side. she has an unfroced style that i like.
i usually like estelle’s dresses but (although i like this one) i don’t like it on her
of course kanye killed it. what’s new
yeah boris looks better with keisha but i don’t want him to drop his wife.
i wonder how solange’s little boy will look when he’s older. his mom is not very pretty and his dad wasn’t cute at all. hopefully he has luck

No disrespect #19. But what the hell does long legs have to do with anything?

wish i could’ve gone

@Jordan.BLAZE jamelia has long legs and brown skin. she hasn’t killed herself yet so you’re good for now. but on a real note, someone might have told you that but the reality is that you don’t have to look LIKE bee. you just have to be light-skinned b/c that’s seen as more marketable (not saying it’s right, i’m just stating the truth). you have to look fake too, straight weave, pounds of makeup and all. you can’t be a natural beauty like lauryn hill or erykah badu. mainstream doesn’t like that. long legs aren’t a detriment to you so it’s pointless to mention it.

@22 THANK YOU boo. Rihanna…Essence Soul, doesn’t go at all. But I guess when you’re whats hot at the moment you can get into any event. Also thanx Tianna for showing other celebs and not having 20 pics of just Ri.

Keisha Knight Pulliam is sexy!

Not that wig Mary!

Bow needs to stop with the tatts. He thinks he’s so hard.

Oh that was the person’s ignorant comment why i shouldn’t pursue a career, seriously they said u r tool tall and not light skin

Essence was awsome this year! Solange did GREAT in the Super Lounge and Kanye West actually did better her then he did in the “Glow in the Dark” Tour! He didnt have the space ship and everything…it kinda made him connect with the crowd more rather than talking to that damn ship the whole time! But he was the shit for real.

Rhianna was Rhianna…looked good, sounded like her records..but stiff and boring as hell. She always is. Ive seen her live 3 times and everytime i’m hoping shes gonna give me more than the last…she never does..but she always looks flawless..lol

Chris Brown…im not really a Chris Brown fan but i’ll say this- I wasnt a MAry J fan till i saw her in concert and INSTANTLY fell in love with her and have been a fan ever since…HE didnt do that! LOL…he dances so much! Its like slow down lil boy u movin to much! But i guess he did his thing…

Estelle was AWESOME!! Shes so real. And she curses like a sailor and i love it. For those who saw her at the super lounge, my roommate Terrell got on stage with her and was dancing with her…lol. Shes great i went and bought her CD today!

Rihanna looks a hot mess with that rainbow weave and naps mixture! Everyone else looks good.

and i told that person that lauren hill sold more records than the ppl the he compared me to. He compared me to these lovely ladies …Chrisitna Milian, Ciara, …

i thought they would love the fact that you’re tall. everytime a girl is tall, ppl automatically say “she’s got gorgeous legs” or “she’s so beautiful” (not saying you don’t have these qualities, i’m just saying that long legs do give girls a “leg up” on the competition). men wish they had a tall chick (they might not say it but they do, they just find these women either unattainable or wouldn’t want to be shorter than their women) b/c they feel like they’re with a model. that person was a dumbass to tell you that. either way, in the real world, it’s a plus

I guess snake is coming back. Mary and ‘Ye are definitely rocking snake prints.

LOL! That pic of Sol and her daddy is priceless. He’s grabbin her arm and talkin close in her weave so his lip cannot be read, shes stickin her tounge out like wtf eva!

i would just keep searching for another record company for a deal. it’s kind of like modeling. if tyra banks didn’t keep on trying, she’s wouldn’t be the supermodel that she is today b/c she was turned down a lot. not everyone will see your potential but there will be someone who doesn’t follow trends and sees your talent.

@ jordan blaze

i am a huge bee fan and i dont think you have to look like bee to be successful. A lot of people think bee’s looks has a lot to do with her success but really she is just very talented.

look at mary j blige. she is not light-skinned and she is very successful. it’s because she is talented as well.

i think the person who told you that is very ignorant. go ahead and pursue your dreams and dont let nobody talk you down.

Concreteloop.com should add an application so that when you click a picture you can just scroll through all of the pics in the post (ie. websites like LastNightsParty.com,Facebook etc.), this would be better rather than clicking one pic then back to the page then click another pic, then click back again, and, so on and so forth…its madd annoying…I LOVE CONCRETELOOP.COM…just throwing that out there…do more post on pharrell, kanye, lupe..plz?

your friend is just ignorant. go ahead and pursue your dreams and dont let anyone talk you down.

@ that’s not a lie…

Thanx!!! In the real world ppl always compliment me on my height and appearance and honestly it is nice to hear that from them. The person that made those comments was mad that I refused to sell my song “OVER” to one of his artists. She is white and asian and he felt that she would be more marketable. I love that song and I was super excited about it and I still am. I truly love it. He was just trying to break me, but he can’t break me.

One of his female friends rehashed it today and that’s why I posted about it on my myspace page. I said that I prayto God to point me in a different direction if music is not for me and he pointed me to music everytime. I decided to begin rapping November 2006, before that I was working with local ATL artists. I tried to ignore my desire to do it but I couldn’t.

So I am going to do it extra FAB!!! I put some songs up 9 months ago with no promotion and I let fans find me on myspace. I am almost at 20,000 plays and 50,000 profile views and I am proud of that. This showed me tat there is an audience for me. So now that i know this I am dropping an EP in September or October this year and I have beautiful pics and awesome songs on the way.

I’m excited and blessed. Thanx for listening to me ramble…lol

Dont you think RIhanna is lookin cheap and hoeish lately? Not a hater, but I mean shes taking this drastic ‘good girl gone hoeish’ too too far. I mean, she isnt no bad ass chick (well maybe in her dreams lol)…I mean look at her ass TRYING to pull a Ciara back bend, probs seeing Ciara perform with Chris Brown @ BET made her think she needs to learn it to get Chris looking maybe? A little desperate I suppose to make anyone catch some attention if shes wack at performing live smh

Mary J Blige the REAL talent up there!

Keyshia is a bad ass chick no doubt..love her!!

Solange looking very pretty!..is that Beyonce for real? I aint seen her in ages..

Kanye is Kanye wiv his stylish swagga..

@ Jordon Blaze , Listen to your friends . Don’t let people build you up for failure later in life . The entertainment business is not a joke , it chew people up and spit them out everyday .

everyone looks iight…its good to see this i wish i was there!

Man they had awsome performers this year. I would have spent all my money and went to each concert! Everyone looks good though! smooches…

@ my opinion …thanx when they said that I was like I respect your opinion!!! Even though I was thinkin that they sounded ignorant

@ diva in va

I feel u, the music industry is tough … i know that for a fact

but God is good, he may allow me to have success in music in order to do other things that I want to do in life.

I was there over the weekend and had a good time.. Everyone performed well, especially Kanye.. He shut it down!!

I must say im in love with Kanye
Bowwow is there for what reason
Everyone looks good
and pls everyone keep the rihanna comments to a minimum

ooh i loved mary’s whole look. the blonde wig really worked w/her fit.

Lil Juelz is too cute… I could just eat him up.

Please delete Jordan Blaze’s comment…SOOOOOOO annoying and IN THE WAY. UGH!

Everybody looks nice.

Wish I was there and it looks fun and Rhianna is not a soul singer, becuase she has no business being there anyways.

People were excited to see Rihanna. They had their umbrellas and everything! Kanye was excellent. It was a good show.

nahh RIHANNA LEAVE THE MATRIX TO CIARA AiiTE K..COZ YU KNO SHE CUD GO LOWER, AND STICK 2 THA CROTCH DANCE! NONTHELESS SHE LOOKS FLAWLESS

Every1 looks cool and looks like every1 enojied themsleves, I’ve always like Solange over her sister and OMGOODENESS! I am so jealous that she was with my baby Chris Paul. He is sooo.. adorable. But Rihanna has that glam punk rock style. noneless looks like a good time. Oh yea. angel find them shoes for me that rihanna had on. thats

i see she stealin moves! lol!
i thought she was the “too cute to dance” TYPE!
hmmmm

Solange stuck her tongue out when her father was whispering something to her, she is so real, and be herself around people. Unlike Beyonce, she too stiff and structures like she is a robot

22 i agree
rihannas kinda a pop artist and essence is r&b/soul..
now i know someones gonna say about being open minded and listening in different music and blah blah blah
but im going by demographics
but everyone looked great
and i love essence
its great to see so many beautiful black people under one roof!!!!

#55 and #57 are you the same person? Neither one of you know Beyonce personally so please shut up. Beyonce has millions of fans and is very successful so obviously people love her the way she is.

@ jordan blaze

Ignore Pixie and continue to follow your dreams.

It be some ignorant people commenting on here sometimes.

Amazing show! Will be going again next year!

who the hell invited rihanna boring stiff ass?

i LOOOOOOOOOOVE solange i wanna spend the day in her closet and just try on everything…my girl RiRi is on as usual…and im also loving keyshia dress!

Everyone looks like they had a good time there. Beautiful black folks doing positive things, I love it!!

Bow Wow needs to grow the hell up

Rihanna and keyshia look nice, the rest are hams

#48 Bow Wow performed a song with Chris Brown.

@ 18

She’s there for promotion dumb ass

Ok theres too much to comment on so imma keep it simple….

Rihanna looks nice and i see shes cut her hair again so i hope people can stop all their tripe about her copying kelis and whoever else.

Kanye looks like hes doing the damn thing..

Keyshia looks nice

Daniel is cute

looks like fun I have to make it down there one year

Almost eveyone looks good no specifics necessary I think a few were covered in previous comments! lol..

Love that Keisha Knight Pullam!!!

@ 19

@ jordanblaze or whatever it is

Wtf are u talkin about, first u say they say u can’t make it because you’re tall and brown, then u say the compared u to ciara and christina milian. You’re comments aren’t making any sense genious!!! So lame

i see bynum has her lv!..fake azz!

@Jordan Blaze I don’t look anything like Bee and she isn’t at fault because of what she looks like, she can from her mother and father genes and she is a beautiful girl.

I am a dark skinned girl also from Houston but I am not stopping my dreams or anything because I don’t have a particular “look” someone wants. Whatever YOU do do NOT give up on your dreams. Remember what God has for you is for you people will tell what you what you can’t do God has the final say so.

CL are there any clearer pics of Bee? You can barely see her in that pic. She need to hurry up and drop her album. Her and Brandy the only real talents coming out with albums this year.

rihanna was whack at essence…no surprise
keyshia was good but mary stole the show!!!
kanye was crazy!…he shut the show down! but u shouldnt expect any less from him!
chris did the damn thang too!
didnt see solange perform but she looks nice in the pix!….im sure she did great as well!…wish i couldve seen it!

Wish I could of went!Lol @ Juelz.Aww.
