Please stop what you are doing, go into your wallet and take out ALL of your money and throw it out the window. In fact, wait and give it to the very next stranger you see. Don’t have cash? Head to the bank and withdraw a few hundred and then give it away. I can hear it already: “Steupss, this writer MAD! Who going and do that?” You wouldn’t dare give away your hard earned money, so why are you letting the government do it?…

The anticipated BBHMM video from the Bajan queen premiered at midnight last night, and whilst some of you were probably on yuh fourth dream, a few SCORCH night crawlers happened to take it in. Now we’ve been convinced Rih could be a lil on de off side for a while now eh but she cleared any doubts we had with this video. Homegirl boxed up the “B*tch”s wife in an ole grip…

Donald-Trump

What can we say about Donald Trump that hasn’t already been said about his hair? How about that he is a real-estate tycoon, a household name in the hotel business, a reality TV star, and a 2016 presidential candidate for the United States of America. The billionaire King Pin of New York City recently got himself into a pickle, a Mexican pickle to be exact, after he made crude statements during his presidential campaign announcement. Mr. Trump said, “when Mexico sends its people, they’re not…

RAZE_article_cover

Snow. Snow. Snow. If you say it three times into a mirror at midnight a soca artist dressed in all black is going to appear out of the woods and kill you with a monotonous never changing video. More mudda-effin snow. That’s what I thought the name of the song was. Instead they need to raze the video production ingenuity for Fay-Ann’s latest music video All it would take is one scene switch for this video to be 100 times better. Maybe the director should…
