Q&A with S&P

Salt & Pepa fans will enjoy reading the the hip hop divas new interview at VH1’s “CELEBreality” Blog. Salt addresses some of the reasons why she gracefully bowed out of the spotlight — one of them being a battle with bulimia. Pepa talks about embracing her sexuality and her thoughts on religion. Both speak out on the present state of women in hip hop and answer the question that S&P fans want to know: Where the heck is Spinderella?

Good stuff, ya’ll…

Check it out:

Part 2

And just for extra, C&D gives us a peek from all angles at Pepas new nose. *shaking head* Pepa looks good, she really didn’t need “go there”, but whatever. I still have a major B-Girl admiration for the lady pioneers of Hip Hop.

You Gotta Get Up Get Out and Get Yours!

Hey ya!

Here’s a thought:

Instead of plunking down $25 bucks to read about who’s zoomin’ who in the “Industry” and how much irresponsible sex they’ve had (please, no more tell-all books, ya’ll.) — I’d rather fill my head with something more inspiring and beneficial to my everyday life.

Jamaican Guhl: The Artwork of Tamara Natalie Madden

Hey Ya’ll,

Meet Tamara Natalie Madden. Born in Jamaica and currently residing in Atlanta, she is a lovely Leo with a passion for literature and poetry. More than just a pretty face with an art easel, Maddens life has presented its share of challenges. The following excerpt is quoted from her bio:

“In 1997, Tamara was diagnosed with a rare genetic kidney disease called IGA Nephropathy. Over the next few years she would watch her body deteriorate while she tried to maintain sanity amidst all of the toxins collecting in her body. In order to maintain some semblance of normalcy, she began to create again. In 2000, Tamara took a trip home to Jamaica in hopes of reuniting with family and finding a long lost brother. She had no idea that the trip would save her life. Her brother, who she had not seen since she was six, offered his kidney to her upon seeing the condition that she was in. This amazing offer was consummated in 2001 with Tamara undergoing a successful kidney transplant. That year she participated in her first art exhibition, making good on the promise that she had made to herself long ago to become a professional fine artist.”

Art is healing. Art nurtures the soul. Art changes peoples lives. I love art and artistic people. Thus the reason why I enjoy sharing artists profiles with you. . . .
