So Jay Z and Polow Are BFFs Now?

Sandra Rose November 23, 2009

I’m not sure what to make of this odd pairing

Not trying to start any baseless rumors here. But, has anyone else noticed how close producer Polow da Don and music mogul Jay Z have grown lately? Did Polow move to L.A. to be closer to Hov?

Last night, after the AMAs, the two walked across the street to the Staples Center to take in a Lakers game at courtside with friends, baseball star A-Rod, recording exec Jimmy Iovine, and Fergie and Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas.

Polow and Jay Z sat together (as they always do) and shared private jokes between each other. Meanwhile, Jay Z’s wife Beyonce was nowhere in sight. Hmmm… Interesting.

“King of the White Girls” (poo poo po’-low) & Gay-Z. Ugh I can see these 2 together. Trying their best to fit in with whitey and his crew. Look at Jay Z looking like he’s about to fetch someonee’s car from valet. Give me a break. You are at a basketball game.

I use bleach in the dishwater too. Now they are selling it that way which I won’t buy. You know its 1/2 water anyway then they add in the bleach you get about 20 % soap. I’ll use my own $1.29 gallon bleach. Does anyone else think they changed Dawn? Doesn’t work the way it used to.

Sweeping after dark = somethin’ about some dayum spirits or bad luck

Baby in the mirror = making the teething process hard

I also heard you are not suppose to let a prgnant woman do your hair. Its said it will “stunt” your growth.
*****************************************************
I ain’t up on that one BUT I was told NEVER let two ppl work in your head @ the same time cause your hair will fall out.

AND somethin’ about the hair you take from your comb or brush….you couldn’t throw it away cause the birds would get to it & you’d have headaches….

@tryna…I heard that one but my version was if somebody got some of your hair they could control you, same with the red gravy.
RINOLA

WOW!!! Ya’ll make me almost ashamed to say I’m from New Orleans. I have heard it ALL. While going through my divorce the now ex (and his family) thought I put voodoo on him. Seriously??? So during the divorce while he was taking a shower I threw salt on him and even today… I crack myself up when I think of how he was screaming in the shower like he was melting… That’s what he gets for playing! LMBO!!!

i know killing crickets is supposed to be bad luck and i sho remember the hair thing.

You know, I wonder how much of what we heard growing up comes from African beliefs? (Like the pouring out of a lil sumthin sumthin for the brothas that ain’t here, came from libations) I’m sure much, if not most, orginated during slavery or soon after.

I let this pregnant woman do my hair one time and I swear it starting growing slow and my hair usually grew super fast. After that I will not let a pregnant woman touch my hair.

Also, I was told when you cut your hair you are suppose to flush it or somebody could get it and put roots on you. That I do not play about because people are crazy.

dreaming about teeth and boo boo are a bad sign
RINOLA

My theory on voodoo goes like this. I don’t need black magic to help me find a lazy, cheating, scrub of a man. IF I was going to risk going to hell for playing with voodoo I would cast a spell on an Arabian Sheik with deep pockets so I can ATLEAST live it up while I’m here on earth. However, I think it’s cute that some men think their worth a woman squatting over her good pots.
southernbelle

What about dreaming of fish means someone is preggers? That’s a famous one in my family…I’m from Alabama. Folks get on the phone trying to figure out who could be knocked up.

I have been lurking, but had to log into say…. Y’ALL ARE HILARIOUS. I haven’t done ANY work this last hour.

You all covered most of the tales I’d heard of, but my Grandma had a good one. When I had teen acne she told me put a mask on of baking soda and lemon juice every night and it worked. Quick too.

Hey everyone, talking about fast cures what about the castor oil or robitussin that supposed to heal all of our illnesses.
j.c.

ok, this is the last one for the day, if a baby has hiccups, put a cross used from the broom (that you spit on) and blow cigarette smoke on the crown of the baby’s head. and it would stop
lovely35

I forgot to add that you burn the hair after you comb your hair and put a picture of your mate in your shoe, so that that come home, and the famous if your hand itch money will come. I know someone else said that, but it brung back so many memories.

My 6 month baby is teething. My mommy told me to get a egg write her name all over it. Put the egg in one of her socks. And hang it over her room door. She claims she won’t be crying or have diarrhea

I have heard some of these same old wives tales also but I am from Connecticut..lol. My mother still lectures me about the purse on the floor one and like someone else said I still always hold it in my lap. Real talk though my father passed away in April from Lung Cancer and I had numerous dreams about my teeth falling out prior..makes me wonder…

I remember someone doing this. We can’t do it now because of the effects of second hand smoke. LOL.

Or what about the tale, if you clip the baby’s fingernails before the age of one, the baby will turn out to be a thief???? Instead of clipping the nails, the mother is supposed to bite them….

And the one where a pregnant woman should not attend a wake or burial???

Ok I was droping off my nephew. His mom came out side with her grandmother at the time my nephew was sitting in my lap. I handed her the baby thru the window.

That’s what I thought. One of my kids had to go through the clippers incident. I felt so bad. What I learned to do was give them a bath and just peel the soft nail away. I can even do it to my own toe nails(except my big toe)after soaking in a tub.

My Mom, Grandma, Auntie, Sister, and my God-Daughter’s Grandma (whom does not know my mentioned family) all said that the baby will become a thief if you clip their nails….
texarican mamacita

In Puerto Rico, just about all the older folk say that if a baby has hiccups you need to get a piece of thread and make it into a loop and then stick it to the baby’s forehead with a little spit.

Also if you sweep an unmarried girls feet she would never get married.

Hi Sandra, longtime lurker, first time commenter. Re: JayZ and friend: Why is it when two men are close friends, people assume that there is something sexual going on? Have we gone so far as a society to think that every male/male close relationship has a hidden meaning? I hope not.
