*Chrisette Michele is not happy with a certain Miami reppin’ rapper she’s done some collabos with named Rick Ross. What did he do to upset her you ask? Welllll, Wednesday night at the Soul Train Awards he threw a hissy fit and stormed out because he lost “Best Hip Hop Song” went to Eminem.
Michelle was so put off by Ross’ exit that she felt the need to “denounce” him, and hip-hop in general, on her blog:
If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it.
This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give.It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community.
Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at being as “stuck in a category” as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else.I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool. Don’t LET me start rapping.
They say…I’m ecclectic. I’m underrated. I’m different. Well If I win an award it’s because I paved a way. Every award I’ve won was new in it’s category. You know why? Because I’m amazing at being my damn self.Grammy – best alternative R&B song Centric award – Soul Approved Etc
Have u even heard of those categories? Nope. But guess what? You ain’t never seen another me. And u never will. No ego here. Why? Because it’s none needed. My award is waking up every morning and CAKING off of what I believe in by the grace of God.Maybe I’ll call my 4th album “winners : just like every body else” maybe not.
I pray with every song I sing Im singing from the bottom of my heart. If all we want is an award for telling our truths, then we really have no true reason. This isn’t a competition. This is a stage for self expression and I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on it. I’d sing even if nobody sang along.-from the bottom of my disappointed heart. Hip Hop… Man up. I wanted to be supportive but I can’t understand you. I believed in you… But apparently you’re so high you can’t even see what the world needs
Is all hip hop like that? Absolutely not! But some of it certainly is. Let me spit a few bars. I’m not that kinda hip hop. I rep hip hop too. But not that kinda ego trippin foolery.
Chrisette Michele – the girl on that Aston Martin Music record…
Spread love.
umm, gee, she kind of lost me, I think she was talking that “Brandy universe” crap….she’s cute from the side shot.
…LOL…I like Chrisette Michele is refreshing addition to this crop of young, no-talent singers of late. I saw her on the Monique Show and she stated she suffers from ADHD. Perhaps this may be the reason for this discombobulated statement. And Eurweb you spelled her name correctly in the title but lost it in the article.
I meant “she is a refreshing”…
RSMI, is that what explains the unneccessary twitty twit. LoL! She kinda lost me for a bit but oh well, its freedom of speech.
RSMI, I like her music as well, I can’t remember the last when a tune made me stop and and actually listen….she made me listen.
LoL!!! She’s trying to hide her disgust on that second photo and doesn’t appear very relaxed. He could have been goosing her from the back.
She talking that “You are like the Sun as if I digress and so as so forth the Sun.” What?? LOL
I did not quite understand what Chrisette was talking about but, I am a fan of her music all the same.
I like Chrisette and I understood everything she said. AND she is totally right. Hip Hop used to be an avenue for trailblazers. These lazy, uncreative wannabe’s just spit out words, instead of rhymes and rock material ish, instead of rocking the house. it’s no wonder the underground is doing so well and why I only listen to old skool rap. The game has veered too far off course and all we see now is a parody of what was.
Oh Lawd Chrissette! Not you too???? I would have guessed that you were above incoherent Twitter rants. *sigh* These danged young folks and their computers. *smh*
My ADHD tell’s me she’s right
Yo Ross!..somw of yo shyt might be poppin?, but…ain’t NOBODY in hip hop forgot about yo “mark”/ex badge wearin as-s! Simply put?..you can’t be trusted , son! “get over it”!
Sorry…”some” of yo shyt etc…. (cont.!)
Shoelover, exactly! I knew what she was talking about, maybe why the music in the shit now, it’s what folk will accept, case in point, Rick Ross. Gruffy mofo should be nowhere near a mic!! Folk accepted this non-rappin’ coon and now he fulla hisself! Believin’ his own hype. Nicca puleeze. Em’ can rap rings around ya ass, if that what it took to get you shook and gone then, GOODBYE!!! Thank ya Lawd!!

I admire her for that statement.
Pretty Girl, but I never heard of her.
