Every time we get into a car, there is a risk of an accident. Every time we get into a relationship, there is a risk of heartbreak. We’re afraid of heartbreak, but we’re not afraid to drive? Get in!

Well let me say this right now–Alicia’s soothing voice just isn’t soothing enough to get most men to settle down. The vast majority of men aren’t ready for that “relationship talk” and if they are, they don’t even know where to begin
I must embarrassingly admit that when I first heard The Dream’s latest song, “Makeup Bag,” I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why he was posturing about purchasing his woman a bag to carry her cosmetics in when she gets angry with him.

According to Chi-Ali and Aaliyah, age is nothing but a number. They believed dating someone older or younger than you really shouldn’t matter because true love has no age limit. Well, it looks like they may have been right because couples today are ignoring their years apart and focusing on their love together.
Do you all remember “Computer Love” by Roger and Zapp, from back in the day? With that infamous talk box sound that made the song a number one hit. Well, they were probably the first pioneers of the talk box on record, and it looks like they may have also been the pioneers of online or “computer” dating.
I had stones to throw, they would be made of gold. And if I threw these gold stones at a gold-digging woman, she certainly wouldn’t be afraid of getting hit–she would catch each one and thank me later!
In a contemporary world of respect, love and equal rights for all, it seems double standards are the standard. Men and women are getting away with more and less and pointing the finger at both.

Ever since I heard the new song “Call Me” by rapper Joel Ortiz this weekend, I couldn’t get its catchy phrase out of my head. For all my old-schoolers, it reminds you of that song by Skyy that goes “call me, when you need someone to talk to / call me, satisfaction guaranteed.”
We ladies often believe a man truly loves us even though he may cheat, lie, or abuse us. It’s not surprising to hear a woman say “He may be with her, but he loves me” or, “Even though we fight, curse and argue, we still love each other.” Really
Popular culture and media often portray sex as a casual act that we can commit with whomever, wherever and whenever it feels right. Music often suggests that it’s okay to follow all of our sexual desires, but fails to inform us of the not so obvious consequences of Soul-Ties
In Jamie Foxx’s newest single, he explains that “he can’t speak French but he’ll tongue you down.” Cleverly put, but I’m sure most ladies would prefer a hello first. You don’t arrive at a destination without traveling to get there, and you don’t rush intimacy without speaking to a lady first
Remember the days when being a bachelor was big business? Or when investing in the sexiest women in for portfolio increased your stock? How about when being a player was a necessary component to your cool?
If I could say anything right now, it would be, “I am in love with the Drake and Timbaland collaboration entitled ‘Say something’.” Drake not only sounds extremely seductive demanding his need to hear some form of words, he is raising an issue on a deficiency many of us have–communication
If anyone can make you feel good about having a bad habit or yearning for the sweetest taboo it is Maxwell and Sade. The sensual way Maxwell croons his addictions makes you want to satisfy his fix anytime. Plus the sexy sound of Sade’s sweetest taboo makes you want to touch the forbidden fruit.
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the state of our black marriages in music and in real life titled “Let’s Get Married”. In the article I questioned our commitment to not only each other but to our quest in supporting music that represents our morals and values. Since that post, I have had many readers (specifically women) request that I address the issue that they deem is the result of their lack of matrimony – “having their own”.
Despite an increase in chivalry and the return of gentleman, millions of contemporary women pride themselves on being able to take care of life on their own. Turn on the radio and you’ll hear Beyonce rallying all independent women to throw their hands up at her, while Webbie provides grammar school lessons spelling out I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T.
It’s time to transform the old you into the new and improved you. There is no need to wait for Chris Brown, Lil’ Wayne, Swizz Beatz, or anyone else to change your life for the better because the only person that can make a difference is yourself.
Once again black women and the lack of good black men to marry them are the topic of conversation in mainstream media.

As new songstress Melanie Fiona sings her lyrical homicide, “It kills me to know how much I really love you”, I’m busy dialing 911 for the millions of women who are feeling the exact same love pains. Although I know Melanie was just singing from her heart it “kills” me to know that she is not alone.
Breaking promises and unfaithfulness are all valid reasons to fire someone from their beau responsibilities. It’s doesn’t—or shouldn’t matter if the cheater keeps you laced in Gucci, Louis Vuitton or dives deep in the bedroom. Disloyalty and deception is wrong and should be addressed as such
