WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU! DO THE THANG ASHLEY!





Greetings Brothers & Sisters,

Our very own General Malik X stumbled across this video while on a seek 'n' find "mission".  It was brought to our attention that there is a lil sister out there who is an "X-Factor" Television show contestant. After reviewing this video, we all consented it was a "must post" for our faithful readers!

We are rooting for Ashley! We want her to win the "X-Factor" competition. I have never personally watched the show however, General Malik X, who never misses an episode will be sure to keep us abreast of Sis. Ashley's progress.  With so many so-called "musical artist" on the scene that can't hold a note if it was handed to them in a wet paper bag, we hope Sis. Ashley goes all the way to the top!

This beautiful young lady has been through a lot as you will see in the video clip, and we pray she is strengthened for there is nothing more devastating than losing a parent. Our deepest condolences and sympathies go out to her and her entire family.  Sis. Ashley, The Black Fist Organization wish you well in all of your future endeavors whatever they may be!

Best Wishes & Good Luck Sistah!

WHO IS BLUE-EYED SOUL SINGER ROBIN THICKE REALLY FOOLING?



Greetings Brothas & Sistahs!

As some of you may know by now blue-eyed soul singer Robin Thicke (always known on this website as "Lil Robbing the Hood" Thicke) has filed some sort of frivolous lawsuit against the Estate of the Late Great R&B soul artist and legend, Mr. Marvin Gaye.

The lawsuit by Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke is nothing more than a tactic to beat the Gaye family to the punch!  The jest of all of this is simply: Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke has basically gone through Marvin Gaye's entire song catalog and took what he thought could be his.  This man, Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke has done more than just your basic "samples" of Bro. Gaye's music, more than just your basic "tribute" to the Bro. Gaye, & even more than just a nod and a wink to a classic soul legend .. Awww! Naw! Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke has literally obliterated the man's entire extensive musical legacy and basically said to Marvin Gaye's family, his Estate, to Marvin Gaye's vast fan base, and to the world, "Fuck it! I'ma build my whole singing career off of not only the black world of music, I'ma STEAL all of Marvin Gaye's shit to do it!"

Is Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke for real??? Really??? That's how you get down???  Well now, Bro. Gaye's people and their attorney's just might have a little something to say about that ...And We Hope They Fight Your Ass Tooth & Nail!

RIGHT IS RIGHT & WRONG IS WRONG!  If Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke had done like so many other lazy ass so-called "artist" of today, he would've sample the shit to death, gave the family of Bro. Gaye some paper (that's money for the squares out there), and kept it moving while keeping it pushing. But NO! Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke figured he can robbed the man's musical legacy blind right under the nose of the world and the deceased man's clan and nobody's gonna say or do shit. WRONG AGAIN!

It's a sad situation that as producer and contributing vocalist to this song "Blurred Lines", our dear Bro. Pharrell has joined in on Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke's frivolous lawsuit shit. Come on Pharrell man! Now YOU know better!  Don't lose your cred & your rep fucking around with Robin Thicke to where both of y'all will end up looking like desperate public houseclowns in court and in the court of public opinion, along with having to pay the Gaye family ALL that money cause man you know that's where it's heading nephew.

Same goes for our dear Bro. T.I. Tip Harris. Man T.I. come on bruh don't do it! You know what the game is for real and you shouldn't wants no parts of it! You rapped your lil part on the song now move on to your next cut and try not to get caught up in Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke's bamboozling song stealing vanishing act!  T.I boy! You know all that shit sounds 99.9% just like Marvin Gaye, hell even Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke's vocals are just like Marvin Gaye's!

Well Brothas & Sistahs, I believe I've said enough. I want YOU the faithful readers of The Black Fist Blog to listen and decide for yourself if as Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke claims these are ALL his songs & his music and he don't owe nobody nothing -OR- If Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke is trying to bullshit his way to the top of the R&B game (with all due respect) on the black back of a legend.

Do we like Robin Thicke's music?  Honestly, we would have to say yes.  However, we will NEVER like his shit enough to silently stand by and act like he didn't steal an original musical genius' entire style, favor, vocal fusions, music, and vibe. Fuck That!  We're going continue to keep it 100 regardless of who likes it or not.  Truth will always be Truth.

We dig Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke's music but NOT enough to EVER buy it or support it! And NEVER EVER enough to not let the world know it was all stolen from our dear brotha and sorely missed long gone but never forgotten R&B legend the original extraordinaire soul singer ...
Mr. Marvin Gaye.

Check out the songs listed below and you decide. I've organized them in a way that when you hear Robin Thicke's version & right under that you'll hear Marvin Gaye's original version. Yes, there are some slight variations on the music and tempo bu ain't nobody stupid ... The shit is the SAME!

As I close out this piece, my elite top notch team of highly trained and specialized Black Fist Investigators have informed me that there are quite a few more Marvin Gaye rip-off cuts out there from Lil Robbing the Hood Thicke, and you can trust know and believe that when we get our hands on 'em ... YOU'LL HAVE YOUR EYES ON 'EM!



Love After War - Robin Thicke



I Want You - Marvin Gaye






Million Dolla Baby - Robin Thicke



Trouble Man - Marvin Gaye


Blurred Lines fea. Pharrell & T.I - Robin Thicke




Got To Give It Up - Marvin Gaye





Leave us your comment and thoughts on this subject. We here at The Black Fist Blog rarely if ever censor our faithful readers. But we will kick off in the asses of any clown who tries to be insultingly clever and flip! Which is most always the racist devils and their cohorts of brainwashed dumb ass negro helpers.  So to whom it may concern, the administrator of this website, General Nikki X ain't in the mood for no shiggety!  Take that bullshit to another site cause I'm really not in the mood tonight & won't be in one tomorrow!  OK? OK!

BLACK WOMAN YOU ARE A BLACK QUEEN! RESPECT YOURSELF!



(Video Courtesy of World Star Hip Hop)


..... Because if you don't no one else will!

The Black Woman is The Queen of Civilization.  The Mother of Planet Earth.  The Epitome of Respectability, Nobility, & Fierce Beauty that shines from within  ..... Shouldn't You Act That Way?  YES YOU SHOULD!

If I didn't love you Black Woman, I wouldn't tell you thus says the TRUTH!

Take a look at your TRUE self in the mirror, imagine your own self-worth, & THINK!  

We have been in Babylon for so long that some of us have taken on the animalistic lowdown traits from this devil's savage hyena-like woman.  That is NOT us by nature! YOU are NOT her!  Black Woman, Don't be the filth the follows the filth!


THIS IS YOU!

FRIDAY FLASHBACK TO THE PAST 9 & 38




This week's Friday Flashback To The Past is dedicated to our dear slain brother rapper/actor/poetic Tupac Shakur.

This particular cut is called "Life Goes On" (see last video). From his CD titled, "All Eyez On Me".
This is a deep song as with most of Tupac's lyrical journeys.

Sit back.
Reflect.
Reminisce.
Listen to the words.

And Vibe to Bro. Tupac Shakur's Life Goes On.

R.I.P  Black Man.
R.I.P. We Miss You.
R.I.P. We Love You.

"Violent" - 2Pac



UPDATE: Here's an added bonus for ALL the soldiers out there who loved this brother.  
"2Pac's Greatest Hits" encompass most of this prolific poetic brother's view of the world through his eyes which were the eyes of the ghetto ... The eyes of the black community. 2Pac rapped about the things we in the hood already knew. Why? Because he was US!  It was 17 years ago today that several bullets took this blackman's life, however NOTHING could ever touch his spirit!

Now sit back reminisce, reflect, and remember Tupac Amaru Shakur 









Note: This Friday Flashback To The Past is a re-post from November 7, 2008.  So that makes this a Flashback #9 & #38.

BLACK FIST BLACK POWER BLACK NATION !!!

MURDERER ZIMMERMAN'S WIFE WANTS OUT & FILES FOR DIVORCE

Lawyer: George Zimmerman’s wife filing for divorce a week after pleading guilty to perjury


ORLANDO, Fla. — George Zimmerman’s wife filed for divorce Thursday, less than two months after her husband was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin and a week after she pleaded guilty to perjury in his case.
Shellie Zimmerman made the decision because of “disappointment,” her attorney, Kelly Sims, wrote Thursday in a short email to The Associated Press. The 26-year-old Zimmerman told ABC’s “Good Morning America” last week that she was having serious doubts about remaining married.
BEIJING, CHINA - SEPTEMBER 06:  A Chinese reporter stands the waterfront to see a 18 meters high rubber duck at Beijing Garden Expo Park on September 6, 2013 in Beijing, China. After touring 13 cities in 10 countries, a gaint rubber duck designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman will float first at Beijing Garden Expo Park and then at the Summer Palace from September to October in Beijing.

The interview came just after she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor perjury charge for lying during a bail hearing following her husband’s arrest for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February. 
Her husband, who was acquitted on second-degree murder and other charges in July, wasn’t in the Sanford, Fla., courtroom As she was sentenced to a year’s probation and 100 hours of community service — even though she supported him and lied about their finances.
ABC first reported the divorce filing. Email messages and phone calls to Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, were not immediately returned.
Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman, wrote on Twitter: “Pray 4 them.”
George Zimmerman said he acted in self-defense when he killed Martin and the polarizing case opened up national discussions on self-defense laws and race. Martin was black. Zimmerman has a white father and Hispanic mother.
Shellie Zimmerman’s felony perjury charge came after she lied about the couple’s assets when her husband was trying to be released on a lower bond. If convicted, she had faced up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Court records show that in the days before the bond hearing in June 2012, Shellie Zimmerman transferred $74,000 — broken into eight smaller transfers ranging from $7,500 to $9,990 — from her husband’s credit union account to hers. It also shows that $47,000 was transferred from George Zimmerman’s account to his sister’s in the days before the bond hearing. Amounts of over $10,000 would have been reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
Four days after he was released on bond, Shellie Zimmerman transferred more than $85,500 from her account into her husband’s, records show. They also show that the jail recorded George Zimmerman instructing her on a call to “pay off all the bills,” including an American Express and Sam’s Club card.
Most of the money had come from donations to a website that had been set up to pay for George Zimmerman’s defense.
Despite the large transfers, at the bail hearing, Shellie Zimmerman testified that the couple, who married in 2007 and had no children, had limited funds because she was a full-time student and her husband wasn’t working. Prosecutors say they actually had then already raised $135,000 in donations from the website.
Shellie Zimmerman admitted to ABC that she did not tell the truth during the bail hearing.
“I can rationalize a lot of reasons for why I was misleading, but the truth is that I knew I was lying,” she said.
She said she plans to do her community service with a Christian ministry.
“I’ve made mistakes and I want to own them right now,” Shellie Zimmerman said.
During her appearance on “Good Morning America” following her husband’s acquittal, Zimmerman refused to say if she and her husband were still together.
She added that she “wants to have children and stay married.”
“With George?” the interviewer asked.
“That’s something I’m going to have to think about,” Shellie Zimmerman replied.
Earlier this week, her 29-year-old husband was ticketed for speeding in Lake Mary, Fla. Police say he was going 60 mph in a 45 mph zone.
In the ABC interview, she also revealed she wasn’t at their home the night of Martin’s shooting in their gated community outside Orlando because she’d had a fight with her husband.
“I was staying at my father’s house,” she said. “We had gotten into an argument the night before and I left.”
Shellie Zimmerman says that while she believes her husband’s version of the events leading to the shooting, “I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve gone or laid awake at night just thinking that I wish to God the circumstances had been different.”
She says the couple lived in hiding while awaiting his trial.
“We have pretty much lived like gypsies for the past year and a half. We’ve lived in a 20-foot trailer in the woods, scared every night that someone would go and find us and that it would be horrific,” she said.
She also told ABC she is deeply sorry for the Martin family’s loss. “I can’t even begin to understand the grief a parent experiences when they lose a child,” she said.

A FEW WORDS: Brothas & Sistahs, my question to you today is a simple one: "How long do you think it will be before George Zimmerman kills his soon-to-be wife Shellie Zimmerman & take the Ariel Castro way out?"
This murderer Zimmerman will lose a helluva lot more than just his ol' lady & his chips before it's all over!

BLACK POWER!

'The Boss" Ms. Ross is back on tour at age 69.  Her 2013 Summer Tour kicked off in July.  I haven't had time to read any of the reviews but here is a sample of her concert on August 3, 2013., Live at The Hollywood Bowl.

You be the judge.  You review is just as important if not more important than any "professionals".  Enjoy!
