Keyshia Cole - i remember

It's Music Monday and this week we keep it simple

This is one of the most beautiful videos featuring a pretty song.

Keyshia has had alot to deal with in her short life. her adopted parents encouraged her to step out and be who she truly felt she was. it was wonderful to see that episode where Keyshia's adopted mother and her birth mother Frankie sit down and talk about Keyshia calling them both Mom..

they talked it out and things were beautiful. Frankie has her own kinda feel and vibe so when you are watching her, it's hard to see her influence on Keyshia. I suspect that some of the early drama in Keyshias' career may have been the part of her that is Frankie.

Now we ask you if You Remember Frankie from Frankie and Neffe ?

You Go Frankie and Elite! Man Down, it was a Straight Code Ten Situation.

(we're still not sure exactly what that means, but it sound good when she says it so we threw it in for a lil Frankiespice) Keyshia gets her spark and fire from her mom Frankie, and we can see that in this video.

We'd also like to send a big shout out to Judge Greg Mathis, of the D.

He's Always Keeps It Real and he makes sure that Frankie knows it too.

Yes Keyshia, it's a beautiful thing to Remember Babygirl,

Reality Wednesday: TI - I did the crime, so I'm doin the time

When I watched this video, I was suprised at how candid TI was about his actions and the repercussions. he admits to his wrongs and says it's time to pay. Big Man Talk, and apparently Big Man Walk from this series.




I know what he's talking about when he says he was driven to the desperation of fear that put him in that parking lot where his odyssey began. this is one of the best tools I've seen any rapper create to pay for his crimes to society.

TI is a stand up guy, and he stands up and gets his house in order episode by episode. he spends each episode resolving one of his own issues, in action in another youths life. he meets them on their turf and talks about their beefs; because he knows them.




The fatherhood aspect of the show is what interested me, because he is after all - a father. his kids know exactly what he did and why. they also know that he is in jail because he decided to play outside the lines. apparently he wants them to be clear on how the mess hits the fan, and we admit that he's taking the hard approach to showing them, but no doubt it will work.

His childrens mom Tiny, has a show as well. shes' been very candid on why she thinks he did it, and why she thinks he won't do it again. it's a departure from the usual bad guy baby momma drama of reality tevee. this one we like and we hope that TI continues to help to mentor youth when he returns from prison.
