New Music Alert: Young Money "Bedrock"

If you know me well, you'd know that I love me some hard core rap w/ an R&B singer in the background.... I don't know why. I mean, that's how Ja Rule got HOT!! It's just catchy... You know, a toe tapper.

So while home (DMV) last weekend, I was jamming to 92Q. (They always play the new new first!) "New joint from Young Money featuring Lloyd!" There it is! The 2 main ingredients (Rapper + R&B Singer) You know I slowed down and turned it up. (LOL @ slowing down... I know I'm not the only one that does that.)

BEDROCK! Woooooo! This joint is hot! Nikki Minaj is so animated. I love it. And you know Drizzy is witty. So you got hard core rap, R&B, Animation, and wit... my recipe for a banger!!

Must See: Dreamgirls @ the Apollo

We are DREAMGIRLS, BOOOY
We'll make you happy!

2 Mezzanine seats to see Dreamgirls at the Apollo. Oh you rock, Destiny! My favorite linesister got me a pair of tix to see this show. At first, I was like "Ooooh thanks!" and totally forgot about it. She gave me the tickets on 9/24 (my birthday). The show wasn't until 11/19.

So the week of the 19th rolls around and everyone is tweeting about the damn DREAMGIRLS at the Apollo! Oh snap! I got tix. Now, I gotta find those bad boys. Located the tix and hit my linesister (VIVARINt thing) up. Remember those tix you got me for my birthday? The show is tomorrow! That means, no Diddy party for us. We were cool with that.

Every time I set foot in the Apollo theater, I get chills. So rich with history... staring at the vintage portraits of past performers. Ahhh! I love black people! I even rubbed the infamous log thingy (then reached in my purse for hand sanitizer. The Swine Flu is among us.) We rush to our seats with glasses of wine and programs in hand. Dim the lights... Now let's start the show!!

I won't ruin it for you all... but like I re-capped the Wiz w/ Ashanti (click here), I will do the same with Dreamgirls. Just point out 5 things that stood out to me. Please watch the movie before going to see the stage play!

* For all the American Idol fans, Syesha (Season 7) stars at Deana (Beyonce's character);

Chaz Lamar Shepard from The Game (Trey Wiggs) played Curtis Taylor (Jamie Foxx's character.) I spotted him before Destiny, a passionate/loyal/avid The Game watcher. And I dont' even watch the show!

* The singing was amazing! Namely, Effie! If you closed your eyes and just listened, you would have thought Jennifer Hudson was up there. I promise you. In fact, keep them open. She favors JHUD too. If you purchased the Dreamgirls soundtrack, like me, then you woulda been singing at the top of your lungs!! "Listen", "Step into the Bad Side," "And I Am Telling You!" So Good!

* The set design was different. Very tech savvy! Everything on that stage was electronic. How the hell did they pull that off? Just lights, moving walls, and a glass desk. That is it! Nowadays, who needs props?

* 2nd best component of the show (aside from Effie blowing everyone out the water) The Costumes! Wowers!!!! I'm going to be a Dreamgirl for Halloween. Dont' steal my costume!!

* That damn James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy's character)... OMG! Showed his a$$. Pure comedy. Basically, made the show with his performance.

I got a few pics from the show. No photos please! And they will snatch your camera in the Apollo.

Please check the show out! Well worth it. Best Birthday Gift! Thanks, D!

Odoms on Chelsea Lately

Who saw the wedding?

Ok, just a few things:

1) Kris Jenner (the mom) is a gold digger.

2) Why weren't his 2 kids in the wedding?

3) Did you see that ring?

4) You know she doesn't get anything out of the pre-nup until 5 years from now. So she might wanna wait this one out. Good luck with that.

5) A wedding in 9 days? Is that how rich people roll? I don't believe it!

Ok, enough of me hating... check them out on Chelsea Lately. All touchy feeling... Lamar is actually starting to look good now. No?
