Fun Fact: Usher Reveals He Was Once A ‘Chaperone’ For Beyoncé When She Was A Tween

I Remember Beyonce Way Back…

Usher and Beyoncé go way back… even further than we already knew. In a recent interview, the singer revealed that he first met Beyoncé when she was just a child.

“Fun fact, I knew Beyoncé when she was 12 years old, 11 years old,” Usher revealed per People. “She used to be in a group by the name of The Dolls. I don’t know if I could consider myself their babysitter, but I had a time where I had to watch The Dolls.” That means the R&B singer would have been about 14 or 15 when he watched Beyoncé and The Dolls. Usher signed his first recording deal with L.A. Reid around that time as well.

Usher continued the story, “I was at Daryl Simmons’ house. [Simmons] was working with [The Dolls] at the time, and I just happened to be over there and they were working on a session. I kind of found my way into being their like, I don’t know, chaperone, nanny, or something like that — the oldest person in the room.”

Since then, Usher and Beyoncé have crossed paths frequently, performing together and also joining forces for their collaboration called “Love In This Club, Pt. II” which also featured rapper Lil Wayne. The song was included on Usher’s 2008 album Here I Stand.

As Beyonce continues her massively successful Renaissance World Tour, Usher is getting ready to perform a series of concerts in Paris, France, in mid-September before concluding his Las Vegas residency, My Way, at Dolby Live at Park MGM later this fall.

Terence Crawford 🥊 and Eminem 🎧 Unite For: “The Walk That Made History”

TERENCE CRAWFORD AND EMINEM team up for “THE WALK” that made history! 

It all started with an idea and a tweet. The power of social media led to one of the biggest music stars in the world accompanying one of the biggest boxing stars to the ring on July 29th.

Eminem, a big fan of Terence Crawford, took him down to the ring before Crawford faced off against Errol Spence Jr. Crawford, the WBO welterweight champion, competed against WBC, IBF, and WBA champion Spence for the status of the undisputed welterweight champion.

Known for classics like “Lose Yourself,” “Stan,” and “Not Afraid,” Eminem rapped Crawford down in a full circle moment.

The moment stemmed from when Crawford posted a recent video of a discussion he had with Shakur Stevenson. While in training, both fighters talked about the upcoming fight, with Crawford saying who he’d want to bring him down to the ring.

“You know what I was thinking would be crazy s—? I think it would be dope to have Eminem walk me out or something like that,” Crawford said. “He’s never walked nobody out, huh?”

Eminem caught wind of the video and responded by saying, “This is 2 crazy.!!! You r 1 of my favorite boxers rn!”

Both appeared to come together following that post to collaborate on an epic walkout.

While he has never boxed professionally, Emimem has gotten involved in the sport. He boxes for exercise, has appeared on the “Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson” podcast, and produced music for the movie Southpaw starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

It is the first time Eminem walked a fighter in a big fight, as he rarely makes appearances.

Emimem joined a packed T-Mobile Arena that included several celebrities:  Andre 3000, Damian Lillard, Mario Lopez, Mark Wahlberg, Chance The Rapper, and Cardi B are just a few names that paid to see Spence vs. Crawford.

DOJA CAT 🦁 Grabs Your “ATTENTION” in her new video, Watch

 

DOJA’s Got Our Attention, We Have To Look…Even if we just sneak a peak, Watch

Within the past year and a half, Doja Cat has threatened to quit music after fighting with fans and dismissed her own discography; she’s called her prior rap verses “mid and corny” and labeled her past two albums, Hot Pink and Planet Her, as “mediocre pop” and a “cash grab.” Her latest single, “Attention,” weighs in on recent controversy.

Opening with a fluttering harp and a canned loon call, the song responds to criticisms of her appearance (“Lost a lil’ weight, but I ain’t never lost a tushy”) and her decision to drop out of  The Weeknd’s After Hours Till Dawn tour (“I coulda been an opener, I redirect the bookin’”), biting back against the patronizing commentary of so-called fans.

Foregrounding her rapping chops, Doja Cat spits over ‘’90s hip-hop production as if she’s in an audition. She’s got heads turned in her direction; now we watch and wait.

Listen 🎧 to Songs From Doechii, Sunmi, The Beths, And More…

            Doechii                             Sunmi                       The Beths

Doechii: at the height of her career and it’s only going up from here. Relishing in her rising stardom, she catwalks through concert venues with witty bars and an infectious beat. Her flourishing, lavish lifestyle is the result of her being one of the most lyrically-engaging rappers in the game right now. —Gwyn Cutler

Sunmi: Feeling summer fever over someone? Sunmi can relate. Unlike most upbeat summer tracks, there is a sentimental and dreamy vibe with its percussion sounds and chimes, summoning the burning magma bubbling through the veins you might experience when starting to feel an attraction and connection with someone. “Oh, my, I’m getting breathless / When you look at me,” she sings hypnotically. “I am getting hot, oh, my! / Is it because of the heat?” It definitely is the heat of passion. —Athena Serrano

The Beths: New Zealand indie-rock quartet The Beths have always had a knack for making love’s cruel sting feel a bit softer, thanks to their stunning 4-part harmonies, incisive lyrics, and catchy choruses. Their latest offering, which also serves as the title track to their forthcoming album (out September 16), delivers on every level. Over an understated production, lead singer Elizabeth Stokes applies the scientific method to romance, consulting both memory and nature in attempts to make sense of the scars left by past relationships. Perhaps her most astute observation is her least conclusive, as the track builds into buzzing guitars and thrashing drums, and she notes, “Love is learned over time / ’Til you’re an expert in a dying field.” —Carson Mlnarik

Felecia’s quote: “Be your own best Astrologer but in the meantime, make sure you have one”

👁 A BETTER WORLD 🌎 = A BETTER LIFE 💃🏽🕺🏽

The Age Of Aquarius: Full Speed Ahead—>

“The Age of Aquarius isn’t just marked by a date but it is when we as the human race love and respect our planet, our home, and each other.” Felecia Harte

As I note my thoughts in this writing, we just had a New Moon 🌚 in Leo and we are approaching a major, incredibly rare aspect that hasn’t occurred for hundreds of years: the Uranus , Mars and North Node conjunction in the zodiac sign of Taurus .

We are definitely living in times of change which always exists on some level to some degree. However, the level of change the human race has been experiencing in just the last couple of years, seems to be accelerated.

In January of 2020, the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto were all in Capricorn, and on January 12th, all of these planets, excepting Jupiter, aligned in what is called a conjunction meaning they all lined up in a tight degree of orb in the sign of Capricorn. Ceres, an asteroid body, and the South Node were also part of this historic conjunction. This astronomical event preceded the soon to be massive changes that were to occur all over the world in 2020.

In addition to the above alignment in January of 2020, on December 21st of the same year, 2020, we had the “Great Conjunction” of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. In Astrology, Jupiter and Saturn represent society and were in an extremely tight conjunction in the brotherhood/sisterhood sign of Aquarius beginning a new 200-year cycle where their conjunctions will occur in all air signs. I remember watching these two planetary giants meet up in the sky and online; it made me feel hopeful.

Now we have yet another great astronomical event happening August 1st with the alignment of Uranus, Mars and the North Node all at 18 degrees of Taurus.

The planet Uranus known as the “Great Awakener” is the planet of sudden change and the modern day ruler of Aquarius. You can always expect the unexpected with Uranus and for this reason, it is a challenge to know what events will occur when it is activated. Mars, the planet of action, will be activating Uranus in the very same degree of vibration. A big player attending this summit is the North Node representing the path of future evolution individually and collectively.

The Age Of Aquarius: Full Speed Ahead

Considering both Uranus and the North Node are futuristic entities, energized by Mars, seem to be showing us the way forward. In addition, when we look at the Saturn-Uranus squares of 2021, by the way, are still loosely present in the background in 2022 and activated again later this year in October; the universe is speaking to us. These tumultuous planetary forces historically can effect deep disruptive structural changes in society. Although disruptive changes are not always negative, it does mean that we have to make adjustments which many of us resist. The Saturn-Uranus squares are asking us to look at what structures, Saturn, need to be modified/eliminated in order to move into the future, Uranus.

We have been hearing for years that we are transitioning from the Great Age of Pisces to the Great Age Of Aquarius. As each great age is roughly two thousand years, this transition could last a hundred years or more. Astrologers have been talking about the coming of the age of Aquarius for decades and longer. There was a pop, musical group called, The Fifth Dimension that had a hit song called, Age of Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In, way back in 1969!

Uranus was in the sign of Aquarius from about 1996 to 2003. Neptune was in the sign of Aquarius from 1998 to 2011. Next up is Pluto. Pluto will be fully in the sign of Aquarius in 2024. Will this be when we are fully in the Age Of Aquarius? perhaps so. Pluto was last in Aquarius in 1778-1798. During that time, we had the ratification of the American constitution and the Industrial Revolution.

The Age of Aquarius isn’t just marked by a date but it is when we as the human race love and respect our planet (our home) and one another.

Looking at the Astrology just since January of 2020, it seems obvious we are at a turning point for the human race. Do we clean up our home, planet earth? Do we come together as one people versus these divisive, ethnic, cultural sub-divisions? Do we see and care for people as being in our family, the family of the human race? Do we stop putting economic greed over the lives of people?

Yes, we are our brothers’ keeper; the COVID pandemic made this clearly evident.

Now is the time to make a difference. Now is the time to let go and be free of old, worn out paradigms, mindsets and ways of doing things just because that’s what we have always done. Do we choose stagnation or freedom?  In order for us as a people, our planet, in all of its glory and beauty, to not only survive but thrive now and for eons to come, the universe is pressing upon us to re-evaluate and make necessary, perhaps revolutionary changes; we are obliged to honor this cosmic beckoning.

Let’s Go!

Watch video: FEELING THE SOUL ☀OF LEO ♌

Hot Fun In The Sun!

As I note my thoughts in this writing, we are in Leo Season with a New Moon 🌚 July 28th on the way. New moons represent new beginnings and is a time to set intentions as we can synchronize its waxing vibrations to assist in manifesting our intended desires.

Leo is a member of the fire element, of the yang polarity, in the fixed modality and is the 5th sign of the zodiac.

Astrological zodiac signs consist of four elements:

  1. Fire 🔥 signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius are inspirational and passionate
  2. Earth 🌎 signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn are practical and sensual
  3. Air 💨 signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius are thinkers and communicators
  4. Water 💦 signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces are emotional and sensitive

In chemistry, an element is defined as being a pure substance made only of one type of atom that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by any non-nuclear chemical reaction and  it is these four elements of the astrological signs of the zodiac wheel, on which the signs revolve.

The modalities of cardinal, fixed and mutable represent the three unique ways each group of signs navigates through life and expresses itself: cardinal signs begin our four seasons and thus, are initiators; fixed signs, preferring to hold their positions, are stabilizers; and mutable signs are the change agents, flexible and adaptable.

The astrological elements and modalities help to define the nature of the signs in addition to the polarities of yin or yang (feminine or masculine) along with the modalities. The polarity reference to feminine or masculine does not relate to gender but to whether the sign tends to express its energies more inwardly or outwardly.

The Sun–> Life–> Leo 

Which brings us to the new moon in Leo. Based on the brief descriptions above of the characteristics of the signs, we can understand better when Astrologers refer to Leo as being a fixed, fire sign of the yang polarity: a passionate, inspiring stabilizing energy that outwardly expresses.

Leo is the second fire sign carrying on the torch that began with Aries. Aries says, “I Am”, while Leo says, “I Create” and is known for being “king of the jungle” or “Leo, the long-hearted”.

Leo vibes with the sun, the power source infusing us all with life. Atticus, poet, said: ”Give like the sun, and the whole world grows tall.”

Astrology categorizes parts of physical anatomy that relates to each zodiac sign and Leo rules the heart. Some have said that the soul resides in the mind/brain but others have said the soul resides in the heart.

What is the soul? The soul has been described as that immaterial essence, animating principle in what we call life being also described as the entity believed to be that in each person which lives, feels, thinks and wills. ”The Platonic soul consists of mind, spirit and desire.

Sometimes people describe works of art as having or lacking soul: “that painting is soulful” meaning the artist expresses something that resonates with humanity on a deep, personal level or “his performance lacked soul” meaning the artist did not touch the inner, emotional part of us.

When one thinks about the highly evolved archetype of Leo, soul is never lacking but is bursting forth full of life and one could arguably claim: “Leo energy is what makes life worth living.”

Let’s Go!
