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.
Hey S Dot.
PoLow look durty as hail!
Yes he does look scruffy
What is so suspicious about JayZ having new friends without Beyonce around? So what?
Polow look like he need a cap full of bleach in his bath water.
Yes Polo looks dusty & his T-shirt looks sleepy
Polow is Jim Jones dirty…
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:lolol: @ the cap full of bleach in the bath water & the sleepy tshirt
Polow must be a Hebrew Israelite
Maybe Beyonce is preparing fro her show Thursday? And we care why? Im just syaing I love Beyonce but where she is at 24hrs a day os irrelevant to me. She aint putting no money in my pocket.
And since when cant a man or a woman have friends?
And I bet A-rod is dating Fergie now too?(said with massive amounts of sarcasm)
now see….didn’t that person afrikka JUST come up here on friday and say we needed help and we was bitter, jealous, fat, lonely, ugly folks….cause we thought every man who is in the company of another man is gay on this blog?
i’m not going here today.
in the words of afrikka on friday…GET HELP.
@ lovinme
A-rod is dating Derek Jeter.
1st
@RTB & 
2nd Beyonce’s in Ireland performing and we all know Jay doesn’t make friends
Fergie is rarely with her hubby……..
But who cares about Shawn and who/what he may like…. I am not married to him so I have no worries…..
@ kwall
Please don’t bring up that loser…
Polow look like he need a cap full of bleach in his bath water.
——————————
send him to my great aunt. she will hook him UP. that’s old skool right there.
Polow looks dirty. Ewwwwwwwwwww!
:yawn”
Sandra wants Jay to b gay, because in the back of her mind if he’s gay, she’s gay and then she has a shot in hell.
But its just a sweet sweet…
And did Polow and Timbo decide that this is what irrelevant producers look like
But Polow looks like a Meerkat to me …but thats just me……..

<<<<<< Why is my comment awaiting moderation? Whudupwitdat??
I have always said that it seems like polow always has on the same white tee and that jacket! Maybe he is frugal but either way i want him to get a new look! He seems like a coo dude
Is it me, or does Jay have the “this negro breath stink” face on?

Did they all run straight to the game after the AMA’s?
Grams used to bath me with bleach in the water…she thinks bleach is the cure for everything though! Good ol’ Louisiana upbringing at its finest!!
Hello Everyone!! Hey Auntie Sandy.
Here we go with 2 wanna-bes. Yes, I said it. I don’t care how much money you have or how “established” you are in the industry.
This dude is such a Samboo (msp) and polow , had the AUDACITY to tell black women to get their sh*t together” like fool you weren’t even raised by a black women….GTFOH!
“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.

Bleach in the bath water…..that seems like it would STING! Now my mama did usta use dishwashing liquid in the bath water if there was no bubble bath & I HATED that! I’d NEVER touture my dauther w/ either!

OKAY! :lololo:
I usta pour it from the bottle & when I started getting rashes on my hands I reduced it to a cap full.
I heard about the cap full of bleach in the bath water but thought its used for ppl with excema (sp)
ps, if polow’s face can look that with so much hair..what about down there?? it must be an amazon…>>>> thats disgusting lol
@j.c. :waving: I do remember hearing “how are your bowels baby?” a lot when I was growing up!!
and “drink some prune juice” 
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.

@ tryna, we have some crazy sayings in the south. you can’t hold a newborn if you’re on your cycle cuz you’ll give the baby the “stretches”.
he would say it’s from all that pressure
#61 my mom told me that one…I thought that was a caribbean thing lol
JC, not saying all illness is related to being backed up but a lot of it is. My older daughter had “issues” from infancy. When she was having a problem she would even run a fever. Digestive health is extremely important.
at least you got a lax kwall, my folks would use mineral oil, codliver oil, any and every nasty stimulant you can think of……

@ wiggy, actually my daughter was born with the same thing. she’d also get a fever. i’d never been so relieved to see someone “go”. she was real uncomfortable.

@ tyna, yes! i’ve heard it all. don’t let the kids sweep cuz they’ll sweep up on a unwanted visitor!

Go use the bathroom.
Eat some fruit and drink some water
Take a tums
Take an advil if their are cold symtoms add Robitussen.
@ Mirs,
my momma God bless her heart…is sitting across town RIGHT NOW….with some ex-lax (remember the lil choc. squares? now they are pills) or some correctol (the lil pank pills) waiting on one of my kids to say they have a pain in their left knee on thursday…i know it….

its funny becuz most of the time, you have no idea why they say it either. but i know the looking at baby over the head, they said would make them cross eyed.
@ Mirs
Sweeping after dark = somethin’ about some dayum spirits or bad luck
Baby in the mirror = making the teething process hard
Parting hair down the middle of the head = you’ll go crazy
Yall Southerns tell me if I got it wrong….those are the explanations I remember hearing, but since I didn’t believe the ish I may not have heard right!

tryna, she didn’t want to go to jail!
that’s another one, sweeping feet will send you to jail. and if you mess around and sweep your own feet, you have to spit on the broom

I would go off, “Get yo a** on this side and look at him!
yes, the baby in the mirror is right! i forgot that one!
Polow is getting fatter each passing day… blech
If I’m not mistaken Bey was doing her last show in the UK. That would make it very understandable to why she was not at either events. They have busy lifestyles. I am no stan, just fair and impartial to all.

My dad would tell me if you have to urinate outside make sure you spit or else!!!
civil, i thought peeing outside got you a star over your eye! we could go on and on….
I’ll admit I did practice that looking of the baby’s head thing…..it just made sense!
i never understood the one where no woman on her cycle should hold the baby. what about the nurses in the hospital?
What’s funny is that there are so many Old Wives Tales, but a lot of them did actually make a lot of sense.
in the south, many grandparents lived by them. old poor black folks didn’t have the money for rx and doctor visits. they had to use what they had and make it work
I even heard one about if you spill salt on the floor, you have to throw a pinch of salt over your left shoulder…. Or something like that. Nevermind, don’t get me to lyin

i even heard to watch out for snakes when you’re pregnant cause they can smell the brest milk or some crap like that and somethin similar with cats
oh yes, @ brown. a cat will chase you down for that milk. i’ve seen this one happen for real. they also say if you leave a newborn alone with a cat, they’ll try to suck the breath out of the baby.
Y’all betta stop trippin’ y’all know grandmas ain’t neva lied! That’s why they lived so long! LOL!!!!!!!!!

I heard about this…..My mom fusses at me when I put my/her purse on the floor.
Have any of y’all heard of Cucu(sp?) soup……Let me tell y’all what this is…….a woman makes a soup/rice for her s/o and whiles it is cooking she takes of her panties and put the pot on the floor and stoops over it and let the heat take in her juices(this is normally done when your cycle is on)or they mix their bloody undies in it……this is how you are suppose to keep a man…….
When I heard about this I told my family I think I’ll pass I don’t believe that ish……..But my cousin said his ex girl use to cook for him everyday and when they broke up he couldn’t get over her sooooooo….
This was a ol’wives tale though
@mirsmommy, and you are not supposed to sweep while pregnant.
@tryna, when i was young i would beg my momma to fix them for me just so i could feel that buzz from that whiskey : )
j.c. Says:

Really, what would “happen” if you did?
@ missy, i’ve heard a version of that. most southern men don’t eat any women’s spaghetti other than their mothers.
i done heard ALL of these. like i said we are the epitome of southern…so…yep! that mess about having a black eye and getting a lax was TRUE. my sister got in a fight and came home and my momma gave her a bag of veggies out the deep freezer and a lax…smdh…but lmfao at the same time…
maybe polow needs a lax to fix that breff. and when he get up out the bleach bath somebody hand him another one…
sweeping is supposed to do the same thing as raising your hands while pregnant. they say it gets the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby’s neck

I had never heard that until I was pregnant & it came from the daddy’s side of the fam who is half crazy ANYWAY so I usta roll my eyes hella hard & do the ish anyway. UGH, I can still hear them, “Don’t be tryna reach up on that top shelf girl!”
And they usta be like, “You shouldn’t wear heels. You’ll tilt your uterus!” BACKWARDS A$$ BUNKINS….& no disrespect to those of you who believe the aforementioned….but those ppl are some IGNANT folks besides all that.
@ Missy Where I’m from we have what we call “Sweat Rice” where the woman does all of what you wrote but without the blood. She just lets her vajayjay sweat over the pot.
they say you can miscarry #126
missy I heard you were supposed to do it in the spaghetti. my ex was from louisiana and his family swore i did it to him
he is one big funky old wives tale walking example. this is what you shouldn’t do………….
@j.c & V.I ……That thing is just nasty any way you put it I believe plenty women have done that back in the day though…….
@ Missy, like JC I’ve heard about the (period) blood in spaghetti….not that witches brew you described :lolol:
And I too know very few men who’ll eat anything made w/ red sauce!
i agree missy. it’s gross. how could you? why would you?
AIN’T NOBODY MENTIONED THE SWEET OIL FOR EAR ACHES!
IT WAS HELL IF YOUR MAMA GOT THAT SPOON TOO HOT WHEN SHE PUT THE LIGHTER UNDER IT!

I like Jay’s jacket…that’s hawt!
I am so ashamed of myself I use to kill grasshoppers whenever I use to go by my grandparents as a child…..Me and my sis was trying to dissect the poor grasshoppers….I feel so bad

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.
My comment 141 is STILL in moderation (too many w’s) so its throwin’ off the comment #’s

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!!!
************************************************************
FUNNY! I’d prolly pee on myself from laughter if I saw somethin’ like that!
@ kwall, did your daddy say anything to your mommy?
I didn’t know killing grasshoppers cause bad luck……But I caused my dad get a few cuss words from my mama also…..

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….
************************************
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.
My mom would flip if a black cat crossed her path….
dreaming about teeth and boo boo are a bad sign
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.
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’m sorry, but that’s child abuse.
@mirsmommy@ i don’t know but i did. me and my hubby are trying to get pregnant and i dreamed i saw the baby. i was so happy when i woke.
and if your hand itches that means you got money coming and you are supposed to spit on it and rub your booty
@ heavn_sent…
Trust me I know…and I have yet to hear someone dream about fish and someone NOT be pregnant. That’s the only superstition I will sand by because I KNOW it to be true! I’m from Jefferson County…B’Ham.
no sandra, it kept your system clean. you know the immune system lies in the intestines and when your intestine is clean, then so is your body LOL!

I heard that if you dream about losing your teeth, it means you are eating too much sugar.
@ southernbell, is someone say they dreamed of fish and no one can find out who is pregnant, you can bet believe that someone has had a abortion or miscarriage

I just dream that me and hubby had another baby boy, and he was toooooooo cute. He looked just like our son, but his face was a little fatter and rounder than our son’s face.
@ msg, i sure hope you are right because all of us will dream about loosing teeth tonight just because we’ve been talking about it LOL!
@ Sandra, (as they always do) I didn’t know you were keeping up with Jay like that. And how do you know they were “sharing private jokes” ??? You are funny!

LMAO @ 204
HOWEVER, I USED TO DREAM ABOUT LOSING TEETH FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND MY BROTHER DIED!
I’M SURE IT’S JUST A COINCIDENCE
Holding a baby while menstruating causes the baby to stretch…a lot. My g=ma had a name for it, but I forget.
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.
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
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.

Never heard that one, but I heard about putting a baby’s urine on your face.
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???

I heard about the purse one. I had to look up the dreaming of losing your teeth awhile ago, it means you don’t have control of your life. LOL

Is that where that came from???? I thought it was to avoid accidentally snipping the baby’s fingers.
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. All of a sudden the grandma started screming at us saying we was going to make him a theift. I was like WTF. I still do it to this day to piss her off lol

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….
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.
Ugh! Jay Z again? Exposure Overload!!
He needs to go home, sit in a lazy boy and relax for a minute! :mad1:
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.
ummmmm. this is the exact reason why b creepin with the bodyguard. she know what jay be doin.
matter of fact that was probably one of their agreements in their fake ass marriage.
this was one of the funniest post.. about the topic though umm Polow looks a mess.. looks like a grizzly bear.
I want the old Polow back. I want the cocky asshole with the bangin body back. See Avatar. That’s Polow beyatches–in case you never knew or wondered. I developed my man crush because of that pic.
Dear Polow,
Point will not give up on you, weight gain and all. There’s nothing wrong with a little thickness in all the right places, wink wink, wink wink. call me.
Sincerely,
Point H. Out
