Bright Colors Burn My Retinas

Nas did a spread for Complex Magazine and this was the outcome.
It's kind of like the Lupe spread (even though I liked his better).
I just don't think that Nas is this type of person. I mean, I couldn't see him in this shit outside of this Magazine... It's hard for me to look at it now, let alone see him on an album cover with this ish on.
Don't get me wrong, the fits are dope it's just something I wouldn't see Nas in - ya know? Ugh, I'm so disappointed in him right now.
What's next Nas?

Commercial Hip Hop and ringtone sales?? And a sneaker deal with Diadora?? Blah.

Someone please make sense of all this, I can't take it anymore. My eyes are burning and I can no longer look at my screen with a straight face.

Usher x Vibe Mag

July 2008

Is his album promotion over yet? I'm sick and damn tired of Usher. The album isn't that great and I am BEYOND tired of hearing about that sham that he calls a "marriage" and the rest of us just shake our heads at.

I've had enough Usher. Go back under the rock of "husband and father" that you crawled out of!

Common x Complex Mag


June/July

Can I just say that Common is one sexy a** piece of man! Whew, ladies and gents.... you just don't know what I would do with if I had two minutes in an airplane bathroom with him!

XXL x Rick Ross

Lawd make it stop!

Essence June 2008




Triple covers and they all look stunning!

Go Jilly from Philly!

The Beauty That Is....






STACEY DASH

Damn this chick and all her glorious beauty.

Stacey Dash x SMOOTH

Got damn this 42 year old mess!

Yeah. I'm hating, if thats what you want to call it. Who keeps letting her run these young bitches off the cover of magazines?? Got damn you Stacey, share your beauty secrets with the world.

KING Mag x Stacey Dash

June 2008

Well I'll be got-damned! Ain't chick like 40?! I ain't mad at'cha, keep doing ya thang! (thanks Tupac)

XXL x Ice Cube & The Game






















June 2008
But I'm not sure that I'm feeling either cover, just a preview tho from the lovely staff over at XXLmag.com
Enjoy.

Lil Wayne x VIBE Magazine

May 2008

Does his mean mug just some standard with any photo shoot? Is that just what you get when putting DeWayne Carter on the cover of your magazine? I guess so. But I will. not. buy! Period.

Oh and get this, "American Idol Falls Off - Is Diddy's Making The Band Next?" - ummm, YES! We've been saying that forever. How many more manufactured bands do you think he can churn out? Really tho, he'll continue the fuckery as long as MTV keeps cutting him those checks and shiiittt can you be mad at the dude? He gotta get his money from somewhere because he is DEF not getting it from Bad Boy Records.

Beyonce x Jack Mag


Harpo, who this woman?

What the hell has happened to the crazy, popeye's loving Beyonce? Seriously guys. This blowout here is not cute. She has been caught lately in a few unflattering photos. There was that one with that horrible circa-1990 Wendy Williams wig HERE and now this....

I'm just saying. I love the girl and all but she is just wasting away like it's nuffin (yeah, I said it). This cover has some bobble head-ish action going on.

But whatever. People will still flock to her as if she was the greatest thing since running water! Who care. I'm over it. NEXT!

G Unit x XXL Magazine


Normally I would have some witter banter for this cover but because I'm feeling generous... I'll let this one slide.

But trust me, this generosity will not last any longer.

Barack Obama x RollingStone Mag

All I could really say when I saw this was, "wow!" I was astonished and amazed all wrapped into one. I mean, RollingStone x Obama?

I mean someone did one hell of a photoshopping job on this airbrushed artwork. And why is he standing like a cape should be flying from his neck in the wind? I mean, is the brightness around him supposed to be like....... God-like? <-- was that sac religious, sue me.

I'm intrigued and yet mystified by this cover but I will add it to my shelf of (magazine) covers.

Toccara x KING Mag


Well. Well. Well. My least favorite fab chick is covering the May 2008 issue of King Mag. Now, before you begin... I'm far from hating on this chick, I think she is breaking barriers that most people doubted that she would (cough.cough. Janice Dickenson) but whatever! I just think her voice is MAD annoying and the fact that she pops up on every BET show, just makes my skin crawl (which is partially a reason why I'm boycotting BET, for now and forever).

But again, whatever, chick is making more money than me!

Do ya thang. Guess America's Next Top Model is good for something cuz I have yet to see Eva do anything besides show up to gifting suites and award shows - looking a hot damn mess. Go Tocarra, get that BET money!

Snoop x XXL Mag

April 2008

Britney Spears x ROLLING STONE Mag


Rolling Stone Mag is calling Britney 'An American Tragedy'

I think that is a stretch of words but I do feel like her situation is terrible and I hate the media for portraying her in such a horrible light.

I will never have anything bad to say about Britney! Trust.

TEAM BRITNEY

Fifty & De Niro x VIBE Mag

Erykah Badu x GIANT Magazine




I've already expressed my love for this swagtastic chick... so no words are necessary.

Just enjoy being able to look at her pics. Oh and go check out her interview HERE

the Cool Kids & URB Mag


Check out The Cool Kids over at URB Mag

Their style is so crazy to me and I love it. Being an 80s baby myself, I love to see it reproduced and done right...

sick-wit-it + swagtastic = THE COOL KIDS
