St. louis has a Taste wekkend?!?!
Okay there are few things I love more than Food, and Art, and food as art, and food and music and art.
On Sept 29th and 30th Taste of St. Louis is going down.
Yea!!!!!
I didn’t even know St. Louis had a Taste weekend. I always went or wanted to go Chicago for the taste the weekend of the 4th. And while Nelly is a Major sponsor, I’m trying to let that bring my opinion of him up, not my opinion of the event down.
One day I’ll have to post my Nelly post.
Cause he totally lost me after that whole Tip Drill video. Totally. And I wonder how he can look at his momma and grandmother, and how they can be okay with something like that. Cause I would BEAT MY SONS ASS, fo real if he did some mess like that. Fo’real, fo’real. If you can’t make a living and respect me and yourself and your community and you daughter (cause he has one) then you need a new job.
Nelly, is a decent guy. I know people who know him, his children, his children’s mothers, his family. They are good people. But being a good person does not excuse you from your responsibility as an role model and presence in the media of Black America, whether that weight is fair or not, it is a part of his role, and his desire to be a celebrity. And running a credit card down a woman’s ass in a music video is disgusting. And a man who would think that is okay for mass media presentation would not be welcome to date my daughter.
Any who Let me stop before I will have posted that Nelly post after all.
Go to the taste, check out the sight. I’ll be there.
Yea!!!!!

Sounds like a fun weekend to plan on!
COSIGN!!!!!!!! That is exactly how I felt. That video is soft porn...and soft is only because hard indicated total nudity. The bathtub and pole scene make me wanna puke...YES BEAT THE HEEELLLL out of my son. Sure would. Yes, the women have some accountability in this as well...they agreed to do it. I have only seen the video once, and yeah, that was it for me too.
okay... I used to like Nelly, and of course, like many he went oo damn far... but uh, did you get a chance to see The Roots? I could have told you about the Taste, 'cuz I wanted to go.. Dang... Hope it was fun.
