I Need Answers: King of Pop and Lock Edition

 


In honor of the best to ever done it, this month's "I Need Answers" is dedicated to Michael Jackson. Rest in peace to the man who's been shit'on on you these hoes since he jigged out of the womb.

1. We get that he left his mama, his trust, and those kids his money, but who’s getting Michael Jackson’s array of fine hair weaves and wigs?

2. Who in the hell left the gate open and allowed Joe Jackson to step out in a zoot suit designed for Satan and talk shit about his new record label thirty seconds after his son died?

3. Does anyone else look at the state of Michael Jackson-less pop & R&B and get the sudden urge to lead a séance to call his spirit back?



4. Speaking of spirits, will someone tell Larry King to quit it?

5. Did CNN really need to find Bubbles for a report on Michael Jackson?

6. And if that’s the case, why haven’t we heard from Emmanuel Lewis and Macaulay Culkin?

7. Do you know that to this day, I still can’t spell Macaulay without wanting to quit this bitch?



8. Wouldn’t it have been dope if Michael Jackson and Madonna went through with plans to collaborate on “In The Closet?”



9. Can someone direct me to a bridge that I can push this conniving vulture over?

10. Am I the only one hoping Rebe Jackson performs “Centipede” at the memorial service tomorrow?

[michaeljackson_recentpurchases]

11. Did anyone else look at this picture and immediately get angry?



12. What does this ratchet blond call herself doing?

13. Anyone in on paying a Michael Jackson impersonator to whoop up on Joe?

14. Is it wrong to wish that Michael’s labels hurry up and package all of his unreleased material from the vault?

15. Is Moonwalker on DVD?



16. Was I still on the bottle when these came out?

17. Doesn’t the inherently negative coverage in the mainstream media of Michael’s death make you want to slap a bitch?

18. Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges. Elvis Presley married a 14-year-old girl. Why is the naturally pale one not branded a pedophile?

19. I loved him, too, but be honest: Even if you want to treat him like family, can we agree that mentally Michael could be a little off the wall at times?

P.S. Don’t stab me.

20. Can I get a shamon?

I Need Answers

11. Doesn’t Lil’ Wayne’s “Kobe Bryant” sound like what if fellatio came with a beat?

12. As far as the pause police goes, isn’t the idea of keeping tab of any and everything “suspect” a pause in itself?

"I've been in the biz 17 years, so everyone is used to me naming my records. So I wanted to mix it up a little. I want whoever listens to the record to call it what they want, name it themselves based on what they feel listening to the music."

13. What the hell is Pissy talking about?

Give It To Me

 

1. I like him, but can we stop acting like President Obama is the Jesus remix now?

2. Is there anything else going on but the rent?

3. Was Halle Berry and the Harper’s Bazaar editors going for the Beyonce 20 years older and 40 pounds later look?

4. What decade is this?

5. So Donnie McClurkin compares being gay to being a diabetic. The ghey used to be compared to incest and bestiality. Should we call this progress?

6. By the way:

I’m a diabetic now and I don’t eat sugar, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t want sugar. The more I don’t eat the sugar, the more I lose the taste for sugar and the more my diet starts to change permanently – I can’t stand a regular soda now because it’s too much sugar. So, the more I don’t intake the sugar, the more it leaves out of my desire.

Isn’t this a flawed analogy? Like basically saying I'm gay but I won't give head. In the end, aren’t you still on team peen – just riding the bench?

No pun intended.

7. He seems like a nice guy, but am I the only one who has trouble making out Harlem Heights cast member Jason’s accent?

8. Will The Real Slim Shady please stand up and find a new shtick?

9. Can someone fetch me a fish sandwich? Extra hot sauce, please.

10. If the rumors are true, why is it taking so long for Amber Rose to figure out that she doesn’t like sex with Kanye because she’s a lesbian?

11. Have you gone goo goo for GaGa yet?

12. They do realize we know it’s them calling the paps, right?

13. Why haven’t you written a letter to The Recession Diaries? Don’t worry, though, you still can: therecessiondiaries@gmail.com.

Thank you in advance.

14. Is Meagan Good for real with her singing dreams?

15. Why won’t Black directors give Viola Davis work?

16. Do ya’ll realize that if The Game and Everybody Hates Chris are cancelled that the only Black-helmed shows on TV will be from Tyler Perry?

16b. When will someone alert Hollywood that we can have more than one Black power player at a time?

17. Who knew the Black Eyed Peas were back let alone with a #1 single?

18. White people, can you tell me why ya’ll love Flo’rida so much?

19. Am I the only one laughing at My Little Keyshia?

20. Is the recession killing Beyonce’s tour game?

Bonus: I’m on that nice shit right now. Tell me something good that’s happened to you this week.

Then tell me what I should do for my birthday.

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong.
