Backstory on why the hell this post is even on here:

I am crazy bored at the 9 to 5 today since the day is going by terribly slow and I'm actually a pretty good employee who has their paperwork done in advance.

So I'm checking my e-mails, various websites and whatnot to stay awake until the magic hour when I can roll out and end up run into this link and a press release for Chingy's new album.

Personally, I thought Chingy was a rip-off of Nelly when dude first came out and hearing "Right Thurr" in constant rotation (and that was pretty much it from that album, that I remember) made me want to hit radio and video programmers upside the head with a solid steel tire iron repeatedly.

In other words, your girl isn't crazy about this dude.

I suppose for party joints, etc. that he will do with a few shots of Patron and in this day and age, Chingy isn't the most wack/ordinary/non-distintive MC cat out there - its just not my cup of tea in the least.

* shrugs * Maybe that's just my old woman status in the game.

So I tell you folks what, you can click here, give the joint a free listen and tell me what you think of this new album by him, Hate It Or Love It (* crickets * and fruitcake to whomever came up with this "creative" title * rolls eyes *).

The joint with Amerie (poor girl can't catch a break) that in rotation now, "Fly Like Me" isn't making my ears bleed, but I'm not amazed with at all either.

Should I give this a solid listen, avoid it like the plague, what? Let me know!

Jacked from Rhymes With Snitch

I don't give a s*** WHO chose this cover, if this is actually real...people need to STOP IT for 2 reasons:

1. The thing you're most known for is hitting a big a**ed white woman from the back on some psuedo-Mandingo stereotype stuff (and from what I heard from folks who peeped the porno, boring as all get out).

2. Whoever freeze framed that and put it on the "painting with pastels Van Gogh" setting with the crazy font needs to be demoted from "intern" status to some other low serving position.

If folks want to hear some of the music from dude, check the last posting we did - still haven't listened to Ray J joints yet and this pretty much seals the "Hell No" deal for me.

Now that I have been truly mortified, I'm going to watch Family Guy and call it a night.
