In the wake of the death of megastar Michael Jackson, some have tried to take this opportunity to be self-promoting. It might be hard to believe but some taking advantage are some of Michael’s close friends, advisers and his father, Joe Jackson.
The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have converged on the Jackson family since the [...]

If I Had the Power to Ban (First Edition)
Posted in Current Events, Entertainment, Go Away, If I Had The Power to Ban, tagged dick cheney, elizabeth edwards, leaked photos, miss california, news, palin, pundits, rihanna, UK ban list, VH1 on May 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The UK recently published the list of individuals banned from the country because they demonstrate behavior that the country’s leaders don’t find acceptable.
If I could create my own ban list, it would be of the people/topics that I am sick of seeing in the media. Even if it was just for a month, they couldn’t [...]

He’s made more than 155 guest appearances and more than 20 Billboard Hot 100 songs. He’s been nominated for four Grammy awards.
His name is Akon, and he’s a marginally talented “singer” who wails badly on songs and somehow keeps making hits.
Like Soulja Boy, Akon is another artist I’ve been waiting to go away for a [...]

Ed Note: I included an inanimate object in the series because this device has enabled many artists with little or no talent to make hits.
From This May Concern You:
Dear T-Pain’s Vocoder:
If I could pry you away from your owner’s grasp I would stomp you out the way those LA cops did Rodney King in 1991. Yes, I’d [...]

For some reason, Soulja Boy’s current song, “Turn My Swag On,” doesn’t bother me too much. Which isn’t saying a lot for the song – it’s more a shining light on how horrible hip-hop is right now. As I watched him sit on piles of money in the music video when I saw it for [...]
Go Away, People Who Shouldn’t Reproduce: Plies Edition
Posted in Foolishness, Go Away, People Who Should Not Reproduce, music, tagged bust it baby, degrading, goonette, lyrics, plies, what about our daughters, women on April 3, 2009 | 5 Comments »
When I initially started WLLC, I knew I would eventually write an entry about how much Plies bothers me. Literally disturbs me. I have never made it through an entire Plies video. But after stopping by What About Our Daughters, where Gina is up in arms about a new Plies-created reality show called “Goonette,” I [...]
