Who Dat????????????

I don't know where I have been but I am all over J. Cole now. I have been listening all his mix tapes since this weekend nonstop. In The Morning is the song that started it all, there are two versions one with Drake and one without (which I like better). J Cole is a mixture of Pac, and Nas wrapped up in one, his voice is raw and rugged and his flow is ridiculous.  I know his story a little bit by him being the first artist signed to Jay's Roc Nation label and Who Dat his 1st single but I barely paid attention to the record. He is a college grad with honors and very mature. I really waiting for his debut to drop I hope early next year, I pray Shawn Carter do not keep him on the back buner. Until then I will allow Friday Night Lights to hold me over.

Happy Birthday to Hov!!!!!

Today is the birthday of my favorite artist EVER my love for Jay can't be describe in words, and in celebration of his day I am go to add some of my favorite pics of him enjoy.

he looks so dapper here

and here too

of course I had to add his Queen and ours to Beyonce

I love this picture it looks like it is straight out of a magazine. I hope they have a blast tonight!!!! MUAHHHHH

Kutting Out

I keep hearing that the Kardashian's credit card was a scam but here is an article provided by USA Today:

By Rachel Beck, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — The Kardashian sisters are seeking to cut ties with a venture that sold prepaid debit cards under their name after coming under attack for the card's high fees.

The card, which launched three weeks ago, was aimed at young adults, the same group that watches the sisters' hit cable TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

An attorney for the sisters sent a letter Monday to parties affiliated with the card asking them to immediately stop using the names and images of the three sisters.

The notice came after Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal warned on Friday that he would investigate the program to see if it violated state laws to protect consumers. He called the card's fees "predatory."

The Kardashians — Kim, Khloe and Kourtney — launched the card on Nov. 10, with much fanfare. The "Kardashian Kard" includes a picture of the trio on one side, and the sisters said at the time of the launch they were "excited ... to create their very own financial product."

But almost immediately the Kardashians came under attack by consumer advocates for attaching their names to a card with fees that far surpassed other prepaid debit cards on the market.

"The Kardashians have worked extremely long and hard to create a positive public persona that appeals to everyone, particularly young adults," says the letter from Dennis Roach, legal counsel of Dash Dolls LLC, which represents the three sisters. "Unfortunately, the negative spotlight turned on the Kardashians."

Just to buy the card and use it costs $59.95 for six months, or $99.95 for 12 months. That does not include any money on the card. The person buying the card must add money onto it.

The initial feels were just the start. After those six or 12 months are up, it costs $7.95 a month to keep using the card. Users have to pay $1.50 to withdraw cash from an ATM, and $1 to check their balance. Talking to a customer representative on the phone costs $1.50 for each call, and canceling the card costs $6.

Losing the card results in a charge of $9.95. If the loss is reported within two days, then losses are limited to $50. But if the loss or theft is not reported, and the issuer believes the user knew it was lost or stolen, then losses could be as high as $500, according to the terms and conditions on the Kardashian Kard website.

Those fees caught the attention of Blumenthal, who said on Friday that he was investigating the card because of the fees and its appeal to financially unsophisticated young adults.

"Keeping up with the Kardashians is impossible with this card, where consumers lose money before they use money. Even before consumers spend a dime, the Kardashian Kard fees swallow the card's value," Blumenthal said in a statement Monday after news that the Kardashians were cutting ties to the card.

Representatives for the companies affiliated with the card — Sunrise Community Banks, University National Bank, Mobe Inc., Mobile Resources Card and MasterCard— did not return requests for comment.

Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports, had come out strongly in recent weeks against the Kardashians for using their celebrity status to hawk a prepaid card loaded with fees.

"Any other celebrity or business that is thinking of associating its name with a prepaid card should take a close look at the fees and protections, and say 'no thanks' unless the fees are low and the missing consumer protections are added," Gail Hillebrand, director of Consumers Union's Defend Your Dollars campaign, said after hearing Monday's news.

Consumer Union is calling on the newly authorized federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to make reining in abusive prepaid card practices a top priority.
