The Golden Globes of the past have always been stiff, snobby, pompous affairs. Though no one really believed Oprah‘s vanity film ‘Selma’ had a chance of winning a Golden Globe award last night, rapper Common and singer/songwriter John Legend pulled off something of an upset by winning Best Original Song for the truly forgettable “Glory” off the ‘Selma’ soundtrack.
It’s obvious that the Golden Globes folks were trying to appease ‘Selma’ supporters by tossing Common and legend a bone. Pop icon Prince even presented the award to the duo.
But it was Common’s narcissistic “I am” speech that sparked the biggest buzz on Black Twitter last night.
Rapturous praise aside, many observers thought Common’s speech was contrived and just a bit disingenuous. Didn’t he once rap about killing cops? But we should forget his cop-killing references of the past because ‘Selma’ “awakened” Common’s “humanity”.
Hollywood suits were impressed by Common’s prepared speech.
But not everyone was in awe of Common, who once praised cop killers in his lyrics.
Rapturous praise aside, many observers thought Common’s speech was contrived and just a bit disingenuous. Didn’t he once rap about killing cops?

Once again folks can’t grow up?

Moringa Rose Garden

Prince and Common !
Morning…I’m still recovering from the RHOA shadiest last night. Baaa-by!
*shadefest
very few awards are actually earned so why do we need to shade our fellow brethren when they get theirs?
i’ve only heard good things about selma. my hubby already got the bootleg but i’mma go pay my dollars to support.
@Rose Garden,
Good morning! Hope everyone is doing well.

@HairLova: See that’s just it. I am not saying that I am TEAM NENE (100%) and I get why some people are not for her. I just think that some people come on there with ulterior motives and act like they are open to meeting folks when they are not. Claudia knew she was there for Kenya and they were friends from before. She QUICKLY when ape ish on Nene for some mess that had nothing to do with her and then now wants to say how it’s very anti-woman for Nene to call her a whore because that’s all people can say about a woman when they have nothing else. That she is a whore. No
people don’t call every woman a whore. Bird put your hot pocket damage on the blog months ago. And Hollywood before that. ALLEGEDLY. The stuff you said about Nene was primarily superficial. So you think you cute. That means you can go in on people. Got it. So what makes that any different. Shade is shade is shade.

Too many for a man that has yet to be featured in a RHOA scene with his “girlfriend” yet.
So ya’ll say that in 2035 SCRAWBERRY will be able to call her puppy doorter by her real name????
Let me add this to my calendar
I do not Want to be in violation. So can Kevin Gates be off it too for sleeping with his 3rd cousin?? Or do that stay on longer? I say that is at least 50 years… Gotta let enough time pass in case they have kids :lame: << those kids gotta have another one to pass off the water head
People and their bullchit negative notions…I can’t
Good Morning Roses
Yes while Phaedra was UBER shady (right) about the wardrobe she was spot on about Roger Bob. Who comes on the show name dropping all the time? Especially about a dude who never shoes up for you? People are busy. People make time for what is important. PERIOD. After 8 years he cannot come to one of your shows? I thought her comment of 8 years vs 8 ears was lame and tacky. BOO you ain’t been with RB for 8 years. THAT I PROVEN. Phaedra has not brought up Apollo you brought up RB every 2.3 seconds. Now as for fashions Phaedra :stop: Not your lane.

Claudia’s presence has turned me off from the season, its setting there in my to watch list and I have not turned on. I also think that it is pretty messy of the Rickey Smiley show to continue promoting Claudia’s ish every Monday when in the past when housewives have had beef they stayed neutral but then again thats why they fired Ebony so that they can have publicity
Good Luck Missy !
I’m just happy to see ‘us’ winning on a large magnitude as this
:wave: Good Morning Roses
Gotta let enough time pass in case they have kids << those kids gotta have another one to pass off the water head
Dr Oz already said that will not occur. it is okay to
from 3rd cousin and above

@HARLEM
And Kandi… I am not sure if she is mad because she had to work so hard and take care of her mama but she has been throwing BIG SHADE at Porsha too. Outside of living HER life shallow or not… what is she doing TO these women?
Come somebody also tell me why the self-anointed PRETTY/FINE GIRLS are so pressed about Porsha and what she has going? Claudia saying in the promo for a fact she knows Porsha was getting money frmo man African.. but didn’t she say she was with her own African dude? To me she is not doing anything that Kenya hasn’t TRIED to do. Except she is doing it better it appears for now
ulterior motives
_____________
@mistaken cause Porsha and Phaedra has been holding it down for Nene. It has become apparent this season that producers are trying to get Nene out. They wont try Phae Phae cause she has already proven that she can throw :shade: as easy as it is given
I also think that it is pretty messy of the Rickey Smiley show to continue promoting Claudia’s ish every Monday when in the past when housewives have had beef they stayed neutral but then again thats why they fired Ebony so that they can have publicity
Kinda of like the rich men we spoke about getting custody of their kids all the sudden from women that were fit enough to :bang: but now all the sudden they are unfit

Right. That is my thing. Who says she is right? Just because you are on tv/radio/platform does mean you are right but it gives you the opportunity to influence the masses. Get them on your side. Persuade. Lie
Look at John’s soft azz. Nigga need some more facial hair or something.

But on the previous episodes, hasn’t Nene been throwing shade at her? I usually like NeNe and Phaedra but glad SOMEONE said something to them about that mess last night! What the h3ll was wrong w/ Phaedra anyway?
“Nene when you were my age, you still had edges!” – Claudia
Baby, when I tell you Claudia read for filth, I do not lie!!
Nene and Phaedra were being so nasty and so rude, but them girls got read at the dinner table.

I’m not getting on any awards show carrying the weight of any race or people. Accept the award, your mentors, agent, and your God. That’s enough IMO.
