Shout out to Renard, Jay and Maurice at the station for giving the the tools and the courage.....next time ill even take my scarf off my head! lol

Usher you betta stand up for your woman!

He was on TRL yesterday and went off tangent about his wife and how he is a strong Black Man and more should stand up like him! I love it! It starts around 2:22

SEX IN THE CITY!!!! LAST NIGHT!!

ok so i didnt go to the big NY one, but who cares!?!?!?!? I saw it, but for some of us who need visuals here are some pics from the Radio City premiere of Sex in The City

Look at Carrie and Ferris...still together!

And the Diva of the night ........

I am really liking this dress and yall are gonna love her role!

Ok so I met Shemeka at Bookbinders downtown for a special cocktail party the movie promotion company gave for some VIP's. Yall know Shemeka is a producer at CN8 now so she bigger then me so I just keep close lol. Anyway as soon as I go to the check out table I run into Berlinda (Fox producer) and Lady Nutter aka Lisa Nutter

(yeah the mayor's wife) who has the most beautiful head

of locs. Anyway she said shes a big fan of the show and so excited. Meanwhile she and I attacked the free vittals. Im talkin crab balls, sushi, lil sloppy joes, shrimp with bacon wrapped around it (of course i didnt try that dont dine with the swine). Anyway so Sheneille

(Good Day Philadelphia) comes in and we are informed that they will be showing the movie at 2 theaters. So some of us divide. Shout out to Irize I know youre glad I asked you to go to one of Envy's Single in the City events (cuz they gave out free tix to the premiere). The line at the Ritz East was re damn diculous, but thanks to smooth talkin Shemeka leading us girls we walked in with no problems.

Then we walked in and it was like a real event. I mean each chair had big Nicole Miller bag with lots of goodies. And we each had a big Vitamin Water in our cup holder (and what a relief because you know how expensive those Ritz's can be). Anyway slowyly but sure the lights went off (after they did giveways consisting of diamond studs, a Nicole Miller dress and a Juicy purse). The crowd roared with applause as the opening credits came on briefly giving us a backstory on all our favorite girls. Man I aint gonna lie I instantly started crying in excitement, fyi so was Shemeka (she handed out tissues in the beginning of the movie). And I must say that this movie attacked everything I wandered about after the Series Finale. Can Miranda and Steve really make it? Will Samatha really be able to be true to Smith? What would Carrie wear to her ideal wedding (PS that question gets answered numerous times)? And how bout Charlotte and her baby issues? Oh and the fashion! Ladies the fashion! Patricia Field out did herself! Just go see it with your girls or your guy and you will appreciate either relationship when you leave...or maybe you will change your mind about love!

So you know the dude in the song with the Roots and Chrisette Michelle?

His name is Wale and he's from DC (yup my hometown!). Remember "you olsen twinnin". Check out his new video

SUNDAY MORNING SOUL!!!

Yep Its BAAAAAACCCKKK

Hello Friends! So lets try something out shall we? A few years ago I had a show on the Beat called "Sunday Morning Soul". It was everything soul music! And alot of folks enjoyed a break away from the norm. So here is my attempt to try to bring some seasoning back to our food and in our lives. And who knows maybe if we get a nice little following, the big bosses may deem it worthy to put on the airwaves. Either way I guarantee its refreshing to the ear! Please feel free to make some suggestions it is definitely a work in progress. Periodically I will post some orginal "Sunday Morning Soul" interviews too.

Speaking of, I had Jennifer Hudson on the show last week. She spoke about being in "Sex in the City" her new album, Chrisette Michelle, and Beyonce! Check it out!

Part 1

PS dont forget we are having a special "Behind the Beats" with Jennifer next Thursday, May29th at Fusion. Everybody is invited you just have to be there by 5:00 and say "Im lovin Laiya on 100.3 The Beat" (i might need a petition too lol). There will be a few treats too!

Part 2

Goodbye to a Philly Legend, its the end of an era...

When I came to Philly and first walked into those offices at 99 I would have never thought I would be here today. And I wouldnt have thought that Colby Colb would be the reason for the majority of it. He was mean and stand offish when I met him. Not one for small talk and took a while to remember my name. But somehow I got through and became one of the few to breakdown some barriers with Colby Colb. I felt like i accomplished something when he called on me for certain tasks and he even began to teach me things. When he left the "other place" to go to NY and then come back to Philly to the Beat, I said to myself "let me email him and congradulate him on his first Program Director job" well that email (along with Shawn Gee *the Rooots/ Kanye/ Jill Scott) launched "Sunday Morning Soul" and so began my toutalige under Colby Colb. Its funny because I just started to appreciate our complex relationship. A lot of folks know that he and I often disagreed (especially when it came to music). But what you dont know is that those disagreements mosts often times were always productive. I dont know if that makes sense, but its like the Roots for example. Colby and I often dissagreed about their airplay but do you remember who our first Behind the Beats artist was? The Roots! and they were one of the few acts to have more then 1 appearance at Behind the Beats. I really appreciated those small victories. Because I understood my boss was different then others. He actually listened to me (even when he faked like he wasnt) and even when he disagreed I know he at least took the time to listen and I also knew his mind might change. Shoot when I kept complaining about the music he allowed me to start my own "Laiya's Music Moment".

I remember the day when Colby told me, Monie and Pooch that we would be interviewing Jay-Z. And he said to me "so here's your chance Laiya to ask the questions you always wanted to ask, kill it". I guess Im saying all of this because I want him to know that he is appreciated by me and I want yall to know all that he's done in this city. He was my boss, my a*hole older brother, my mentor, my co-worker and my debating arch rivial lol. He was the creative heart that gave this place "the beat". There would be no Behind The Beats, no Laiya on the Beat, shoot no Poochman on the Beat, no Monie on the beat, no Envy on the Beat, no Toshamakia on the beat, no JDS on the the beat, no Mil Matik on the beat, no Izzo on the Beat funny enough not even Karina would have gotten her chance if not for Colby Colb. So i leave yall with this classic piece from me and Colby. One of our classic debates over Jay-Z.

LISTEN

Ill miss you Colby and will never forget what you have done! Now lets go make movies!

Jay-Z actually looks nervous...

Its ill because I rarely look at Jay-Z as human, but last night as he gets his 30 seconds of ESPN time he actually looked nervous. And I have to admit that I felt a little proud as the reporter asked him what was his interest in the Nets. Proud that Hip Hop was making history and for a sec looking into Mr. Carter's eyes he knew it too....take a look

OK Usher I dont think you understand...

Ya see there is this guy named Chris Brown, now maybe you dont know this cuz ya been gone for a while, but performances like this wont do

Ok i need you not to fake right now...

Because the majority of us (especially the ladies) used to looooove NKOT. Act like you dont know NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK suckas!!! And they performed today on the "Today Show" in the rain and did alllll the classics. From "Please Dont Go Girl" (dang Joey was my favorite!) to "The Right Stuff"!!!!!

Heres the interview..



And here's the show

Oh wait I bet you thought the ignorance was over huh?

Well thanks to my girl Miya who hit me on the instant meebo (our instant messanger at the station), I see that some people have no quams about showing how they really feel. Look at this mess. Anyone seen this in their neighborhood?

Now this is some cracka shhhhhh

What? I titiled a post the N word a few weeks ago so its only right that I highlight some ignorant white stuff. Man I knew West Virginia had some racist ties, but check this video out. It asks alot of the Clinton Supporters about Obama and you are not gonna like these ignorant answers



Thanks Chris for bringing this to my attention!

Whoa did yall see Fantasia on American Idol last night?

Yoooooo....ok so some of the screaming wasnt necessary, but she killed it and the look on Simon's face said it all! Ive never even seen an American Idol have dancers lol>

In efforts to consolidate there will be 1 blog by me

So I got your entertainment concerns for today lol..... So did you hear about the "Black Music Month" Covers for Essence? Its kinda cool cuz they have Jill, Mary and Alicia listening to their debut albums and the reaction of the ladies years later. I love Essence Magazine anyway. They can make the ugliest woman look like a work of art! lol Anyway take a look at the covers

Oh did you hear Jill in the studio with me Monday?
