FanMAIL: Blog Wars III

Here’s a loyal reader’s perspective on this new blog beef kicked up by Angel Laws of Concrete Poop, who is salty because all that brown nosing she’s been doing isn’t paying off for her. While she was hobnobbing with celebrities, walking red carpets and poppin’ bottles, she forgot about her base — so they forgot about her. Oops.

Hi Ms Sandra Rose, this is Trapp with The MIC DVD. I was writing to let you know that I used to go to that concrete loop blog but it quickly became just another boring blog to me. I understand that it was at one point in time one of the top urban blogs out there. My question is why is the woman complaining now. When she was on top there was no complaining about people stealing her ideas and all this other mess. Soon as she realizes she has lost her influence in the blog world she comes out with all this. Everybody knows that once you become in the upper echelon in any industry that’s when the real work has to begin in order to keep your place at the top. When you get caught up in the trips back and forth to New York and all the exclusive parties she should have thought about that new blog that’s waiting to take her place in the bogging world. Now she’s hating on you because you constantly find innovative ways to connect with your readers. Maybe instead of her attending some of these exclusive functions she should have did a contest like you do for her readers to attend.

Celebs Out & About


Actresses Alfre Woodard and Nicole Beharie attended the L.A. screening for American Violet last night.



I have to peep Nicole’s birth certificate before I say another word.


Actress Erica Hubbard attended the American Violet screening last night in West Hollywood. This beauty seems like someone we should all know a lot better. We’re peeping her style. Her CLs are kickin’!

Singer Akon performed all his hits at Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands yesterday. Akon will likely perform during his birthday bash hosted by Diddy at The Velvet Room this coming Sunday night (4/19). Make sure you get there early ’cause it will be on and poppin’.

Video: V.A. Awards Ball 2009 Highlights

Here are highlights from last week’s V.A. Awards Ball 2009 held in Virginia. Thanks to Z for sending these vids in!

Nadia Milan won the Face Queen category vs. Shannon Khan. If you don’t know who Nadia is then you aren’t a regular reader of Sandrarose.com. Nadia is a full-time resident of Atlanta now. I do sympathize with some of you married women in the A. It’s hard enough having to deal with these treacherous broads trying to steal your man. But you really can’t compete with another man.

Beyonce’s twin Leyomi (in the black) killed it at the V.A. Awards Ball 09 held last week in Virginia.

Quincy Brown – A Letter to My Father, Al. B. Sure *Updated*

UPDATE:
My apologies to Russell Simmons. I just heard the full story behind Al B. Sure’s relationship with his son. They were born on the same day and you would think that man could pick up the phone and call his own son on his own birthday! Al has 4 other kids, but only Quincy is his twin!

Quincy was right to write this letter in order to heal his emotional wounds. This is something Albert needs to read!

And let this be a lesson to other dead beat dads who sling seed but aren’t man enough to take responsibility for their children.

I could say a LOT more, but I promised someone I wouldn’t.

Quincy Brown, Al B. Sure’s son with Kim Porter, wrote an emotional open letter to his father on Russell Simmons’ Global Grind web portal. The letter describes Quincy’s yearnings to be closer to his biological father while growing up.

Albert Brown, also known as “Al B Sure!” is my biological father, but Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy” has been a father figure in my life for as long as I can remember. Sean Combs is the person whom I look up to and appreciate as a father. He is the one who help mold me into the person I am today and will always try to live up to his expectations. He has always been supportive of me and I will forever love and respect him. As far as my biological father goes, the “spitting image” is all I have taken from him. Throughout my life, I’ve always wondered about him; Where he was? What was he doing? and most importantly, Was he even thinking about me? The absence of my father has given me a better understanding of what type of man I am going to be. I am grateful for my mom’s love, support, guidance, and for her strength. READ MORE…

Blog Wars III? Angel Losing Readers, Goes On the Attack

Everyone in the blogosphere knows that Angel Laws and her Concrete Poop blog has been losing the ratings race to other blogs that came out after hers did and blew right past her.

So what does she do? She goes on the attack in a pathetic last ditch effort to gain back her readers.

Yawn, I really don’t care enough about Hagatha to even muster up the effort to respond.

So I’ll let Kid Fury do it for me. For those who don’t know, check out Kid Fury’s tweets here.

    @ Stoosh22 no actually. i’m getting bored with blogging, since everyone bites our style. can’t wait for the new layout. u’ll be back.

    take ur lame ass to mediatakeout then! all they do is steal our photos anyway & yes I have to pay for those photos & they ain’t cheap. usually i bite my tongue, but what for? the only real other celeb blogs out there is @ freshalina (C+D) the rest of them are biters.
    mediatakeout = steals our photos on a daily basis / ybf – steals our ideas (rock’d it better / guess who / spotted, should i go on?)
    sandra rose = crab in a barrel
    all these black blogs don’t link to each other anymore.
    and it’s because they have no ethics & are in it for the clicks and money now.
    i’m sure she’ll be back out & about the next day. @ concreteloop has no competition in my opinion, so quit comparing.
    oh and i forgot bossip! one of the number one jackers in the game. how could i forget?
    but i keep my mouth shut, but these fools are using @ concreteloop for what we do & don’t contribute to the up keep. kiss my ass.
    i’m 24, been “blogging” since i was 12. this ain’t new. i am grateful for all my readers & still see this as fun. but when someone steals I’m going 2 continue to do me. Don’t like it? Sounds like u have a personal problem 2 me.

    @TroublemakerSup Bloggers are beefing again?! Bitch please! It’s 2009! Grow the fuck up, people!
    It’s just the Internet! Who still beefs? The world is broke!!! The time you spend worrying about another bitch, should really be used to get this fucking money! …and miss @ angelonfire needs to calm down on this “all celeb blogs are biters except me and
    Fresh” stuff. That’s disrespectful! A lot of bloggers work 10x harder than the populars one and get ZERO CREDIT! As a matter of fact big blogs often steal from smaller blogs!
    So, let’s not act like Concrete Loop is the Holy Mecca of the urban Internet. You can get the fuck outta here with that. I already lost a follower and I don’t give a shit. A shout out from Kanye West on a track does not make you the Negro CNN. Bitch boom. I call it fail. ..and how the hell are you make comments like that and then call Sandra Rose a crab in a barrel?

    Lmao! Sandra I was waitn 4 somebody 2 call that quarterback on CLIQUE concretebiasedloop
    out!

Thank God I have a well-paying day job to fall back on and I don’t have to worry about some hits on a blog.




 

Throwback Tuesdays: Prince – Insatiable

One of my favorite Prince songs. This takes me way back. Prince is truly a genius who practiced total mind control through his music. In his heyday, I never saw anything like the fan adulation toward him.

    Tonight we video
    No one will ever know
    We’ll erase the naughty bits
    I’ll show my …
    If you show your …
