"TWENTY QUESTIONS TO THE BEAT Y'ALL..." (PT. 4)

1. Is Kevin Hart not having the time of his short life? Are we not digging that BET picked up and is currently filming his mockumentary, “Real Husbands of Hollywood?”

2. Was not the Foster-Raymond vs. Raymond custody battle one of the most embarrassing displays of human disregard for two centuries?

3. Isn’t said case and the case of Dwayne Wade a lesson to men about where they lay their seed? Will they actually listen?

4. By a show of hands how many of us thinks that vis-a-vie her “mock” lyrics claiming to be a Republican, in the words of the Old School phrase, Nikki Minaj, “play-too-much”?

5. In awe over Dr. Dre’s financial genius and ability to turn headphones, instead of beats, into millions?  (Still) curious as to how he was able to break his contract with Deathrow Records and lived to tell about it?

6. Are we truly ready for this election to be over or do we just want to see who President Obama will have preform at the Inaugural Ball?

7. Are we so ready for EnVogue to be, “over” so they can stop playing with our emotions?

8. By a show of hands, who has been trying to emulate the hotness and electrifying moves Carmen Ejego displayed in film, “Sparkle?” 

9. By a show of hands, how many of us think if Marvin Gaye and David Ruffin were still alive they would pimp slap Chris Brown and Drake for fighting over a woman?

10. Would they pimp slap Chris and Drake twice when they realize they were fighting over the likes of Rihannna?

11. By a show of hands, who thinks Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens would be better off leaving football for good, taking voice lessons and going into country western or blues music?

12. Is Patti LaBelle settling her lawsuit for cursing at and splashing water on an unruly toddler admission of guilt?

13. By a show of hands, how many of us think Patti should have thrown the water on the parents of the unruly toddler instead?

14. Overwhelmed and sick of all the talent contest-slash-reality-slash-singers-scrambling-to-stay-relevant-as-judges shows?

15. By a show of hands, who cares who has the Voice, who Got Talent, who is Dancing with the Stars or who the American Idol is?

16. How many of us remember when it was much easier to find talent singing on the city bus, like Tyrese in the Coca-Cola commercial?

17. Did you get whiplash doing a double take when you read or heard the words, “Deacon” and “DMX” in the same phrase?

18. By a show of hands, how many of us want to be the fly on the church wall the first time Deacon DMX is called upon to pray?

19. Still in denial or mourning over Whit, Mike, Heavy, Teena, and Vesta?

20. By a show of hands, how many of us think that the ghost of Redd Foxx will appear to Lauryn Hill in jail frequently, only to speak his infamous line, “You big dummy!”
