Fill Up on the HATE: There is Plenty to Go Around!

It’s been a long time since my last post, and leaving you without something to HATE on was cruel. Call me sentimental, but when the holiday season begins, things look more merry than not. But that is no excuse for not HATIN,’ so here is a good dose of HATERky, mashed po-HATER, HATER’s pie and a nice cold glass of HATERADE to celebrate your holidays.

The 50 Cent and Rick Ross Beef

If you haven’t heard about this ridiculous beef between rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross … THANK GOD! This has to be the worst, insignificantly meaningless beef ever in the history of the Hip Hop/Rap culture and maybe, the world.

If you have an appreciation for rappers and the music genre at all, I warn you, that after reading this, you may just become a country, classical or rock music listener. So, this beef began when Rick Ross released his song "Mafia Music," taking shots at 50 Cent. In “Mafia Music” Rick Ross is quoted saying "I love to pay her bills/can’t wait to pay her rent/Curtis Jackson baby mama/I aint askin for a cent/Burn the house down/gotta buy another/don’t forget the gas can/jealous, stupid mutha*BLEEP*"

So, 50 Cent comes back with a barrage of diss singles, YouTube and music videos striking back against Ross, many of which include Tia, one of Rick Ross’ son’s mothers. It is also reported that this all comes after a recent sex tape exploit in which 50 Cent’s is seen with Tia. 50 Cent states in a radio interview “I Know It's Comin From Khaled... Def Jam Is Already Wavin The White Flag... He Can't Recover From What I've Done... Tia Needed Some Affection... He's Callin Her Crazy Now."

Let me stop here.

These two self-proclaimed pimps look idiotic. The true pimps of this story, in my opinion, are the baby mamas. I mean, just to get back at one another, these two fools are willing to spend tons of money on women and kids that don’t belong to them. The worst part about it is, that if they were looking for some kind of publicity from this, they failed because 1. No one really knows about the beef and 2. Those that do know, don’t care.

This is beyond ridiculous. I’m not even going to dignify them with any more of my precious time or thoughts. They’re not even worth HATIN’ on… wait, what am I saying? Yes they are, HATE ON THEM!

Lil’ Wayne and his Women

On Monday of this week, Lil’ Wayne welcomed a baby boy and his fourth child, into the world with singer Nivea. Now, typically we don’t HATE on babies coming into the world, but when this is your second child this year, from different woman, there is just cause for HATIN’.

Lil Wayne has four children. His first, daughter Reginae, was born November 11th 1998 when Wayne was 16, to his high school sweetheart Antonia "Toya" Carter (née Johnson). Wayne and Johnson married on Valentine's Day of 2004 and divorced in 2006. His second child, Dwayne III, was born on October 22, 2008 at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati (mother only identified as a college student). His third child, Lennox Samuel Ari, was born to actress Lauren London on September 9, 2009. And finally, his fourth child on November 30, 2009 with singer Nivea.

I vote that all women should be mandated to take an I.Q./ State exam prior to reproducing and undergo psychiatric evaluation, prior to reproducing with Lil’ Wayne. Seriously, what was on their mind?

I also vote that Lil’ Wayne be banned from having any more children. Cut Him Off, literally or figuratively, whichever is most effective.

Oh, TIGER!

You knew it was coming. I couldn't write this blog post without making some kind of reference to Tiger Woods as it relates to his recent car crash and revelation of infidelity with multiple women.

The only real reason, I see, to HATE on Tiger is based on his naivety and ignorance about just what a POWERHOUSE the media is. I mean, sure, we can HATE on the fact that he cheated on his wife, crashed his car after she took a nine-iron and went Jazmine Sullivan-esqe on his head and back window, for denying that nothing was ever going on, etc. But, this is exactly what everyone else is doing.

Am I mad that he cheated… Not really. He didn't make a vow to me. That is between him and his wife and the marriage vows they made to each other. Now, I am disappointed on the kind of example he is setting for his own children and the kids that look up to him? Yes, but again, that’s on his shoulders.

Am I HATIN’ because his wife turned on the “CRAZY” and did a lil’ putting of her own? No, actually kinda proud. She showed that she had had enough and that she wasn’t playing his games anymore. Good for her. Now, do I approve of her methods, NO. But I guess she felt like she did what she had to do. Simple as that.

I believe, the aspect of this story that is truly HATEworthy, is how he thought that he wouldn’t get caught. Is he SERIOUS? There are voicemails, text messages and a host of women willing to speak up against the pro golfer. This man left too much incriminating evidence with too many mistresses, to not get caught. It was just a matter of time. He thought by lying, leaving holes in his story or by just not saying anything to both the police and the media about the accident, people would leave him alone. Tiger should have known better. He has seen many sports athletes go through the same thing, Kobe Bryant springs to mind, as does Shaquille O’Neal with his recent “baby mama” drama. The media is always waiting for a person of fame to get caught with their pants down. Tiger is no exception.

The job of the media is to uncover the truth about a situation, no matter how much it hurts your family or breaks up your marriage. If they can get ratings (which subsequently lead to more money) from your lil’ indiscretions, they will do whatever it takes to expose you, whether you’re Virgin Mary innocent or guilty as sin. That's not to say that the media is right to do this, but if you are an entertainer, including a sports entertainer, you know that this sad fact comes with the territory of you being in this industry.

In Tiger’s statement, released via his website, he states, “Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives.”

Saying this only makes it worse and drives the media to be unrelenting. You’re blaming the media for publicizing you personal business and affairs, but again, this comes a part of your career. You know this.

He continues, “But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.”

Yup, keep spewing your hate of the media; see if they will give you the privacy you seek.

The worse part about all of this is that it could have been easily avoided. If Tiger had just come out and told the police about their simple domestic dispute/argument that led to the car crash, he might have gotten away scott-free, with no need to mention the already present rumors about his infidelity. If he would have cooperated, just a little, it could have blown over in a few days.

Oh, Tiger… I’m HATIN’
