Hmm you sure do ... ( 8 months ago by cushe83)

Hmm you sure do seem to have a lot of black steretypes helmed in your comments Your one of those house negrices that sleep with white men to advance their placment in society but wind up just being the brunt of white jokes at the workplace you tap dancing soft shoe dancing jigg,
I've seen your kind before. Your sad and will do anythign for acceptance, I can tell, you hve a lot of conviction when you shout the stereotypes, you might want to seek help.

for somebody who's ... ( 8 months ago by sweetuth99)

for somebody who's been "changing the subject" ever since your useless, non-debating ass decided to write me...it sounds funny as hell that you're now crying about it. :)

Jigga what ? ... ( 8 months ago by cushe83)

Jigga what ? Jiggaboo please, Um my entire point was that it was never as serious to me as it obviously is to you, what would I be crying about exactley ? that you think queen latifah isn't a good rapper. Do you honestly think before you type or do you just respond becuase you want the last word becuase you sound really stupid.

5 reasons why ... ( 8 months ago by sweetuth99)

5 reasons why cushe83 is the ghetto trash, school drop-out, single babymother that we all know she is;
1) she lashes out with the "house n----r" excuse when someone else points out how uneducated she is. 2) still thinks that hiphop culture only thrives in the 'states. rap has been international for DECADES you moron. damn, your ass NEVER left the projects right? never been on a plane either. 3) sti
ll thinks that black people only live in the 'states. you have now CONFIRMED my suspicion...

...about you never ... ( 8 months ago by sweetuth99)

...about you never walking into a library.
4) thinks that $100 is such a large amount that it would impress her broke ass if anybody actually has it.
5) wants to cry about "black sterotypes" but has no problem believing the "house n----r" sterotype that her welfare mother keeps telling her.
we've ALL seen your kind before (usually on maury povich). forget help--you might want to seek a school book (or two). p.s. stop blaming black & white people for your problems...

"Jigga what ? ... ( 8 months ago by sweetuth99)

"Jigga what ? Jiggaboo please"
good lord you're uneducated. and proud of it. if it was never serious to you, you wouldn't have wrote me in the first place you ghetto piece of trash. last word, first word, when it comes to you it's all laughable. go ahead now and answer this comment too that you supposedly don't care about. a
nd don't forget to spell every second word wrong too. you're trash, but at least you're consistent.

There you go again ... ( 8 months ago by cushe83)

There you go again with that black racist house nigger rhetoric . I must have really pulled a nerve with you because you are heeeated and i'm laughing at you old ass. Aren't you too old to be carrying on like this ont he internet lol seriously I bet you type each comment like and feel like "ha I told him" You really need a man or a hug or something for your dusty ass.

You are one angry ... ( 8 months ago by cushe83)

You are one angry jigg, you need to like relax lol cause you look stupid. You sure did write a lot for, queen latifah . Is it that serious condeleeza lice. I question how much you actually know about the impact of queen on hip hop seeing as how your going on platinum sales and chart placement which again i cant see how any one other then queen or her record label would need to hold on to that info,. Its only an import to canada.

Hmm 4 long ass ... ( 8 months ago by cushe83)

Hmm 4 long ass comments in the last 4 minutes. If I didnt know any better I would say you you..didnt have anything else better to do or a social life. I wish I could say I was suprised but I can hear your biological clock from here. Are you bitter shes done more then you'll ever acomplish in your sad life?
Calm down kizzy. Theres no need for the shuck and jive. Do you even know queen latifah becuase I bleieve you think you do. This seems to be that important to you.

surprise, surprise. ... ( 8 months ago by sweetuth99)

surprise, surprise. the drop-out ends up responding to me AGAIN even though, "it was never as serious to me...".
another two paragraphs of nothing. sad life for a hoodrat i guess. take care. try to go to a class. {now everybody laugh at the same time when the crackbaby responds in 5...4...3...2...}

Good lord do you ... ( 8 months ago by cushe83)

Good lord do you not have liek a job, or some form of employemt. Why are you always on here running your mouth about queen latifah obsessing over how un important she is. Go sit your no man or children having ass down.
Do you not have any responsibilities offline. You are too old to be on here as frequently as you are, that shit is not cool your not 17 your 30....somthing

We more like QL and ... ( 7 months ago by Ltron9)

We more like QL and less of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown!

i hate interviewers ... ( 6 months ago by crack3rrrrrrr)

i hate interviewers
when they just sit there so fake
asking you these dumb questions
that they could already ask.
anyway Queen Latifah is the bomb
:D

sweetuth99,I hear ... ( 6 months ago by morenitabrown)

sweetuth99,I hear you. She did make good music, but you had better rappers like:Nikki D,and MC lyte. My problem with her are the types of roles she plays. Spike lee said it best when he called her work on the movie 'Bringing Down The House','buffoonery'. Her roles are mostly 'Mammy Based'. Hollywood
has her as their go-to 'Home Girl', that's how she presents herself to me. It's a shame, she's better than that.

What a gorgeous woman!!!

yeah so not Katie ... ( 3 months ago by vanstretton)

yeah so not Katie Couric. I feel like this skinny old white lady, former crack head, partially deaf sounding interviewer did the best she could but, why?

she lacks ... ( 2 months ago by cocodapitbull)

she lacks creativity and so do many other artists, including movie studios. they lack the creativity to come up with something fresh and clean, so they take from artists that are dead or have no power so that they can't defend themselves. the music was good, spider man was good, when my parents were kids! now they want to sell the same thing to our children. recycled bullshit.

What's wrong with ... ( 3 weeks ago by chosenone300a)

What's wrong with taking roles that you feel comfortable with? She writes her own pages and has accomplished alot more than the so called black thesibans who deem themselves artist of there craft. You bring up Spike Lee who wrote...She's Gotta Have It yeah! that was a real Oscar contender...lol give me a break. Queen doesn't speak for all black women how silly of you do even expect her to up hold such a heavy burden. All black people are not alike........newsflash morenitabrown

Familiarize your ... ( 2 weeks ago by morenitabrown)

Familiarize your self with actresses of today such as Sanaa Latham, Rosario D. etc. Believe me no one is holding her to such a'heavy burden'.I am aware of thedifferences in all cultures as well as my own.I hope to see her in more challenging roles not
something 'comfortable'.I understand your a big fan,but comparing her work to Spike L. -c'mon seriously.Check out the 25th hour by him something more recent than'She's gotta have it'.Latifah Is lucky to have a fan like yourself.

negative critics ... ( 2 weeks ago by dirtyrayskey08)

negative critics feel 2 realize that she's an entrepreneur.she presented alot of things that yall didnt mention.what about da song UNITY uplifting women or things shes has introduced 2 da society that spike lee, mc lyte, or many of the other people were scared 2 introduce.and 4 the person who said she stays in things that are comfortable... dats bullshit. she varies in amazing ways.. rapper,singer, living single,set it off, hair spray,nodel, CEO. wat else does she need 2 do move a mountain!!!!

yo whassup, tha ... ( 2 weeks ago by SoeLychE101)

yo whassup, tha names Lane. I understand where everyone here is coming from! I mean its one thing to be yourself but then its another to do your job which in this case is acting and yet, still try your hardest to be yourself! 'Buffooonery' is a very ignorant comment. I think we can all tell that Queen Latifah is a type of person who can never do something that will be out of 'being herself'. I mean i aint trynna make an excuse for her not being able to comform but being yourself is number one!
