Thembi Ford — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:09:50 +0000

I don’t usually start with something I hate, but as you’ve surely heard by now hip-hop legend Guru is having serious health issues and is in the hospital after a string of crises involving a heart attack, asthma attack, and…

“What The Eff?” Wednesday: Who Is Corey Johnson aka Musicorey?

Thembi Ford — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:36:54 +0000

People always ask me, "Thembi, how do you find this stuff?" Well, this week I'm going to walk you through the process because there is no reason why a perfectly sane woman such as myself should be asking any questions about Corey Johnson. Please bear with me as I take you through the tragically painful journey of discovering all there is to know about this person.

H-Town and Jodeci Are Back…Sort Of.

Thembi Ford — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:24:46 +0000

I don’t know who all has been anticipating H-Town’s comeback, especially since lead singer Dino died tragically in 2003. Oh, and that when Dino passed, H-Town was actually about to release their FOURTH album since their 1993 debut Fever For…

Lord have mercy. You know I love to provide thorough investigations of light & curly hotties from back in the day who have now lost their paths in life, and the “Good Hair Gone Bad: Debarge” installment is still…

How R&B Died

Thembi Ford — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:12:00 +0000

We’ve been on Devante Watch for quite some time around here, but we haven’t had much to say about the often visible and always crackified K-Ci and JoJo. Here we have a clip from their concert this weekend in…

Oh, Shazza

Thembi Ford — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:34:00 +0000

Gary Dourdan has a pretty significant history on this blog and has brought me more pageviews through Google Search than almost anyone, so maybe I’m a bit biased. But something about this photo strikes me as disturbing. Can I…

What Happened to Black Love?

Thembi Ford — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:00:00 +0000

After the meaningless nonsense of the past few days, in fact, past few years, I’ve finally accepted that Black Love is in a bit of trouble. I ADORE Black Love itself – as corny as it may sound, there’s…

Thembi Responds to Hateration

Thembi Ford — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:15:00 +0000

Over the last year a few pieces of random interweb trash have popped out of the woodwork and, in impressively poor English, tried to tell me all about myself. I tend to ignore the few negative comments I get because…

I Hate To Say I Told You So…

This has been a crazy week for me, so posting has been slow, but a few things have happened that have made me consider a new career as a psychic.
