Nicki Minaj ft. Eminem - Roman's Revenge


Finally, the song we've all been waiting for. Nicki finally gets vicious, gets CUNT (literally) and gets revenge as she blasts off, lyrical guns blazing, at Lil' Kim on her latest song, "Roman's Revenge." Switching to her Roman Zolanksy persona and enlisting the help of Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady, and producer, Swizz Beatz, Nicki attacks her nemesis with deliciously caustic emphasis,


"Is this the thanks that I get for putting you bitches on? / Is it my fault that all of you bitches gone? / Shoulda sent a thank you note you little ho / Now I'ma wrap your coffin with a bow / (Nicki, she just mad 'cause you took the spot) / W-w-word? That bitch mad cuz I took the spot? / Well bitch if you ain't shittin' then get off the pot / Got some n*ggas out in Brooklyn that'll off your top"


This is one of the most ferocious battle raps that hip-hop has seen in a long time. If these two emcees play their battle cards right, this could very well be one of the most memorable MC wars in recent rap history. If not, this is at least a satisfying glimpse into the traditional hip-hop oriented side of Nicki's debut album.

Dominique Hollington - Pucker Up Kiss My Swag


Success model, Dominique Hollington, gays it up and turns QWEENE for Attitude magazine's latest high-gloss editorial, "Pucker Up Kiss my Swag." Looking like a butch ballroom house QWEENE, Dominique serves in Versace, Nike and Jeremy Scott, creating a visual composition that evokes Electric Avenue and The Village in New York.






















LL Cool J - 6 Minutes Of Pleasure


Honestly, this is isn't a great song. The lyrics are anything but spectacular and the video is all kinds of cheesy but LL Cool J is sexiness epitomized. From his nipple slips, to his dog in heat stares/possibly intoxicated looks and his topless bouncing, he gives you all the man meat you could ever want.

Nate Gill In Chaos Magazine


Major Model, Nate Gill, gets candid and quite hilarious in this recent interview with Chaos Magazine. In the interview Nate discusses topics such as the realities of money ("My inspiration in the fashion industry is money, plain and simple"), music ("...my favorite of all time is real legit old school hip hop"), and modeling ("Being in the business is like being in the popular crowd professionaly"). Nate seems like he has a good, honest head on his shoulders and (despite his presumed smoking) he's got a angelic face and body to match.

Wild Chanel (Iman) - ELLE Italia


ELLE Italia debuts it's latest cover and main editorial with star model, Chanel Iman. "Wild Chanel" showcases the sexiest ready to wear, party pieces of the season and casts the uber model with Beyonce's backup dancers as they twist, contort and vogue together, giving the editorial that classic 90's era supermodel vibe. Chanel plays the wild child well and her visual energy is enough to make me wanna get the fashions and get bodied. Put a ring on that!

A penny for your thoughts, a nickel for your kiss...A dime if you tell me that you love me.

Paolo Roldan - An Interview With Givenchy's Leading Man


Filipino-Canadian top model, Paolo Roldan, was profiled in a segment of Balitang America. The segment gives some background on Paolo's entrance into the world of modeling and his rise to fame through the noted brand, Givenchy. The handsome model looks dashingly urban chic and seems uber sweet and friendly. He's definitely a Nic E. Rock fave and I can't wait to see more from this model...including some lovely and tasteful nudes.



Used To Be A PARIS Model! Black Models Of The Past


The former black superstars of the runway; Amalia, Anna, Dalma, Sonia Cole, Kirat, Khadija, Mounia. These women TURNED it on the runway.



Paul B. Elson Couture Shows


I miss the days when modeling was theatrical and dramatic. Grace and womanly bodies have been sacrificed for thin and disjointed saunters. Some like Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn show remnants of the glory days of runway shows but they have yet to reach the heights of models like Sonia Cole, Tyra Banks, Yasmeen Ghauri and Stephanie Roberts. Thank god they are still videos to help us remember the days of runway at it's finest.
