Get Into It: Issa Rae Presents "Roomieloverfriends"

You guys know Issa Rae right? Of Awkward Black Girl fame? Ok, cool. then you should also be up on her new Youtube series "Roomieloverfriends." It is a hilarious look at what happens when a man and a woman live as roommates and they cross the line. The main characters are Tamiko and Jayson. Jayson moves into Tamiko's house as only her roommate. One night, the roommates turned friends end up becoming lovers. We all know that drama will follow this. It's hilarious to me because I've never lived with a man who was a stranger or just a friend. This is a foreign concept and idea to me. I really enjoy this series. The actors are great as is the material. I love finding these little gems. The episodes are short as per the normal for web series. But, they pack a lot into them. I am sure you guys will love it as well. If you do, subscribe to the Issa Rae's Youtube channel. You will also get the ABG series and her "Ratchet Piece Theater" videos as well. Also, all worth a look. Go ahead and get into this series. I've included the first four episodes below. Watch and enjoy.









Oh, on another huge note for Issa Rae, she has just sold a show to ABC. It is called "I Hate L.A. Dudes" a comedy about a lone female voice of a popular male dominated internet radio show. The show is being backed by Shonda Rhimes ("Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal," & "Private Practice") and her company. If you do not know, Rhimes is big business and this is a great move for Rae. This will be Rhimes' first time venturing into comedy because all of her other shows are dramas. I cannot wait to see what they do with this. I am so happy for Issa Rae. She deserves this because she is extremely talented. Keep your eyes peeled for this as well.

Get Into It: Got 2B Real

Youtube is the home to so many little gems. I love that I keep running across them. The "Got 2B Real" series is hilarious for more reasons than one. It is a parody of some of the biggest divas in the music industry. Patti, Beyonce, Aretha, Mary, Janet, Dionne, Chaka, Mariah, Rihanna, and Fantasia all make multiple appearances. It is full of snarky, shady comments. It's like a reality show of women we love and love to hate. The voices are literally spot on.

Below are the last two episodes of GTBR. The creator of the series goes by the name Patti LaHelle. She is hilarious. She does all the voices for the shady parodies. She always makes me laugh. If you are in need of a laugh, please get into this series. I have heard that this may be the end of the series. That makes me sad. They are such great little gems. Please do yourself a favor and check it out on youtube.

Moment of Music

So, I'm in a Jay-Z mood :) Here are some of my favorite tracks by the man!







I LOVE this song because it samples one of my favorite songs from the musical "Oliver!"







"Over my right shoulder, I told you to wipe your eyes. Take your time when you're liking a guy. Cause if he sense your feelings too intense, it's pimp or die!"





"I am your prescription, I'm your physician, I'm your addiction."
"I am so dope like Louboutins with red bottoms. You gotta have em. You glad you got em."

Moment of Music

I'm in a mood. Sue me! Enjoy the music that I'm digging right at this moment.

















Oh Em Gee!!! I heard this today and had the illest flashback. I remember being @ the HOB with the krewe when DJ Raj Smmove and Rob Nice dropped this song for the first time. The horns go so hard in the club. We loved it!!! We bumped this song and cd all summer long. Beyonce & Jay-Z "Crazy In Love" classic track in my mind!!
