Tyrese ft. Tyga and R.Kelly – I Gotta Chick

Sandra Rose August 16, 2011

Yesterday, R&B crooner Tyrese released his new music video for his track titled “I Gotta Chick” featuring rapper Tyga and troubled singer R.Kelly.

Speaking of troubled, it’s obvious from reading Tyrese’s tweets that he has emotional problems and issues with women. We don’t follow Tyrese on Twitter.com because insecure men with feminine characteristics are a complete turn off.

But while perusing blogland the other day, we couldn’t help but notice this post on Rhymeswithsnitch:

Last night Tyrese tweeted a link to the making of his new video ‘I Gotta Chick’ and was shocked when his predominately Black female Twitter followers began to complain that there were no Black females in the video….

In other words, Tyrese is saying that out of all the women who auditioned, the LSLH women were the best choice for his video. Sounds like he knew in advance what he was looking for.

whatdoesitmatter

Tyrese is an a$$.

Some niggas do not need twitter accounts. He sounds ignorant! So my guess is the only colored chicks that came looked like ish so he chose the LSLH females? I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE.

Oh okay.

Just read that Taylor’s husband Russell (real housewives of Beverly hills) hung himself.
candibfly

maybe those were the best out of the folks that showed up i mean we don’t know since we didn’t see everyone who came to audition

but i really don’t care who all is represented in these types of videos. they’re mostly naked ang gyrating. that’s not a cause i want to fight for.
candibfly

but i wish his publicist (if he has one) would delete his twitter because he sounds an ignorant fool with each tweet

Ok so I follow him on Twitter and he is so arrogant and egotistical is unbelieveable…he be twitting all these sayings and quotes like he Cornell West or somebody….he believes his own hype and that chit is I keep meaning to unfollow him cause I cant take it anymore… I watched a back stage mini doc of the making of the video and he kept talking about how good his album gonna be, yet you couldnt even get a A-list rapper to spit on your song…you holla at Young Money and Tyga is all you can get…no Drake or Wayne… PULEASE Tyrese….

He needs to really get over himself…
candibfly

i don’t watch that series of real housewives but i heard he committed suicide too
candibfly

he really does have an inflated ego and thinks he’s the next great philosopher. i think he said he was writing a book or has one out…another of those steve harvey relationship type books?

@Tainted_Love

Interesting take on the video chick thing. First we want them to stop exploiting black women then it’s where are all the black women. Basically stop exploiting women, period.
NaijaGal

@ Tainted. Yes it is. His roommate found him and they confirmed his death.

Wow, he was being sued and going through a very messy and public divorce. I think there were reports of him being abusive and he blamed that on being on the show. SMH. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. How sad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 SnootyPooty

The song is all right and I could careless if he had a dark skin or light skin girl in his videos.

If there were all dark skin women in the videos then everyone would be complaining about why aren’t there any light skin women in the video. Whatever.

Dang, that’s messed up about the suicide.

I feel for the daughter he left behind. So sad…
buddapecan

I love me some Tyrese. Lord knows I do. I was his biggest fan…until I started following him on Twitter. I’m confused…how you “got a chick” but got a bunch of pale face minions running around half naked in the video? I’m more disappointed the video is so much like what his Twitter-preaching is against.
StillASassyOne

I can’t see why we would be complaining that he doesn’t have any representation of any Black women gyrating in his video in scantily-clad lingerie….

I just can’t. Let a rapper say: “I don’t want any more blatantly African-American woman in my vids basically naked making her azz clap! I’d rather have these white and Asian hoes do it!”

I just cannot tell you that I would be offended or feel in the LEAST bit slighted. We need some self-esteem as a culture. Get slighted because a white person less qualified than you got picked for a VP position as your company…not because you got skipped over to degrade yourself for a few bucks in some “entertainer’s” low-budget video.

*sigh* My people, YOU people.

So what actually takes place in an audition for a video chick? Who got the biggest a$$? Meanest walk? Longest Hair? Cutest tatts? Who gives the best head? Who takes it in the face? Who will fvck your whole crew & let you film it? Hate to be crass but I don’t understand what the BEST could be when you are looking for strictly eye candy? That’s called picking what you like to look at. Cause all the things I listed can found right here on Florida St in Smith Home Projects.
Dawn Sheen

ION feel like talking bout Jody… if he don’t speak he can get it. He reminds me of a beautiful woman who says dumb chit all the time. .. he should be seen and not heard unless he is singing. Someone should note that on his rider… OAN off topic I hate to be called, sexy, beautiful, pretty… is that weird like it makes my lfesh crawl I hate feeling like an object.. Why come people can’t just call me Dawn?
http://Twitter.com/Ms_TiaCouture MsPretTiTi

He is not the first and damn sure wont be the last that doesnt acknowledge the beautiful array of brown sistas, so wats new.. Like he said, these where the best that came out. Antttyywayzz

He already wrote the book. Now he calls himself a “Aruthor”. I don’t care much for him either. The longer he’s in the game the bigger his head gets. He’s going to air lift away like a Hot Air Balloon soon.

Maannn I just dont know what to say… This has been a trending topic amongst alot of artist lately.

What I do know FOR SURE: If it was me AuDiTiOnInG… I would definitely get picked #promise! Don’t know what the other chicks looked like so I can’t comment on them BUT IF IT WERE ME I WOULD WINNNNN FOR SURE, I’m Guaranteed to WIN… #Winning cuz I Don’t Lose… #Promise
NaijaGal

I think Russell was just socially awkward. IMO she married him only for what she thought he had. The only person I feel sad for is a daughter who now doesn’t have a father. Suicide is a selfish act to me.
amatrex

Like most dark-skinned men who drool over LSLH women, Tyrese hates himself, and he hates his mother. #sarcasm#

_________________________________________
You know what now that I think about it, he does act like an abuser….Two of my friends like to get their asses beat and their boyfriends act just the way he acted on the show…all weird and possessive…they dont really talk too much and when you ask them a question its usually one or two word answers….and they cant STAND their friends….

Most Ike Turners have the same qualities, now that I put it in prospective….
Mamacita

It’s HIS video. If that’s who he wanted in the video then so be it. Why do people care? Why is that all that people see anyway? Why is everything about color?

I don’t have 1 tenth of a f*ck to give about what skin color the women are in his video.
anti-PC

This issue of hip hop videos lacking dark-skinned sistas is getting old.

If they want to be self-haters, more power to them. They don’t represent real life anyway.

@MAMACITA… OMG
Crickett

When girls are cast for the video, certain “types” of girls are requested, then they send out those girls that met those specifics. I betcha he requested a certain type female. What the problem is is that he didn’t request darker skin (he knows what time it is)- he would have to be very specific and he wasn’t which is his right, just proves that he has no love for giving back to the community that raised him.

“OAN off topic I hate to be called, sexy, beautiful, pretty… is that weird like it makes my lfesh crawl I hate feeling like an object.. Why come people can’t just call me Dawn?”

I feel the same way. I feel very awkward when people refer to me that way. I have no idea why it make me so uncomfortable though. I’d rather just be called Joelle.

Hello SR people !!!!!!!!!! &

over Tyrese and his ego ! He’s been getting on my last nerve since I started following him on twitter !
Creamychic

What do you Tyrese considered the Best, Ass and Tits and hair, SMH what a frame of a small mind.. he been hypnotize he has not idea what a woman is.. you can’t reconize the best if you came from the Black Pu$$y sorry sandy had to say it…ok yall keep going
Ty

@ Sandra why do u keep letting these dumb azzes in here. Its like dangling a red cape in front of a bull. Then they want to scream they were attacked
atltx

@ Dawn and Mamacita

I got one better for the both of ya. I’m a dude that can’t stand to hear compliments. Decided to lose weight and get in shape…yes it makes you look “better”. I’ve had to endure some facial expressions and comments that totally changed my perception on how the male admiration of women should be expressed. Good ol Atlanta – where failure to ignore dudes trying to pick you up nets you a hate crime or a gaped azz hole. I want neither of the two.

I used to be a gat damn woman ooooh shat your azz is fine as hell type of ignant. Getting older is a great thing…you can see where you started fvcking up and picking up steam. Just stop it…don’t keep going…shiat.

The enjoyment in these times…eyes. Not their beauty so to speak…but the character that they display. Fine without character ain’t shat. Takes time to see it…fvckin makes everything cloudy. Self gratification and adult entertainment helps maintain clarity (kinda joking). Make it a date if you really wanna get frisky. You might be surprised…wait at least 30 days before asking and pay attention to the eyes.

So yeah…the hearing you’re fine stuff is dead. Not gonna say anything
if you are’nt.
MrUnapologetic

What’s funny to me about all this is a month or two ago Tyrese released a book that all sisters were fighting to buy a copy… and then he diss y’all like this. To me, he showed his ass… and if I was a black women he would NEVER see a red cent of mine again.
datsmdubya2u

It disturbs me that beautiful black women are uncomfortable when some says they are beautiful..the sun is shining on you my sistas…Bask in it!
mimi08

For those who just don’t get why some women would be offended, here’s why. Noting that this is indeed women degrading themselves for a few bucks, but look at the big picture. Tyrese, and undoubtedly the other black men who picked out these women are saying this is there taste, and not acknowledging the beauty in the darker toned black women. To say that these were the best to have shown up in ATLANTA is ludacriss. You know some dark skin beautiful, well-bodied, nicely coifed, pretty faced showed up to audition, and no doubt, they were passed over for their lighter skinned sisters. This happens all the time, and as loud as some black men can, they are saying DARK SKINNED BLACK WOMEN AREN’T BEAUTIFUL.

But there is a quick fix for this ladies, and i guarantee it will work. DO NOT SUPPORT BLACK ACTORS, ATHLESES, AND ENTERTAINERS, WHO DO THIS! DO NOT SWOON OVER THEM, DO NOT PURCHASE THEIR CD’S, DO NOT BUY THEIR TICKETS, DO NOT PATRONIZE THEM! I guarantee there are black women out here, dark skinned, supporting this ignorance, by still being a fan. It’s really simple, and it’s the strongest message you can send, hit them in their pocket where it really hurts.
