Ricky Berry (Courtesy: WRIC)
All these two Black men wanted was some sliced cheese so they hopped in they car and made late night trip up to CVS Pharmacy to get some of that kraft with real milk sliced cheese. They both walked in and asked the sales clerk do ya’ll got some sliced cheese? Was told that they didn’t have it then with sonic speed the clerk and their co-worker was gone! The two black men and another costumer who was there before them to get some oragel for his tooth concerned and puzzled they all started looking for the sales clerks. The three men looked high and low for 30-45 mins getting more worried but unbeknownst to them the two clerks had called the police the police arrived; started helping the three men look for the missing clerks they looked high and low all the while laughing at the creepiness of it all. The store clerks where found locked in a back room all huddled together scared of the two black men who just wanted to buy some sliced cheese. The clerks had locked themselves in a back room and huddled up cause they was scared of the two big black men Get this the clerks asked the two black men to leave and the very police officer who helped them look reinforced this request telling the two scary black men that they were trespassing and they had to leave AIN’T THAT A BITCH? As you may know after CVS Pharmacy spokesman got wind of this they came out with nothing but an apology. Apparently, there had been some other scary black men in the area acting suspiciously in that same area the same day.
Trump has really brought out the overt racist, STUPID, ignorant and silly in some white people.

Elfen’s Neo-Soul Hip hop interview with Bob Catt, Christopher Latimer AKA Mr. Catastrophic Pt 1
Bob Catt Cold Rain
As I talk to Bob Catt I understand just where he’s coming from; all these new mainstream pop rappers out here now have no interest in hip hop culture past or artists who have paved the way for them. These new mush mouths rappers seem to think they are ROCK STARS that they are not. I asked for a friends request he accepted and I continued to repost his music. I thought at first the person responding might be a BOT because he would post one word like, Thanks or Thanks for sharing!
One day I decided to just creep on his page and I found the picture of him and Mariah Carey. And I gave a smirk and a side eye but was intrigued enough to ask who that was in the picture. Surprisingly he answered like a real person! We chatted on messenger for a few weeks talking and reminiscing about how music was and where it’s going. I had so much fun I asked him for his phone number and for an interview and this is what happened next!
Elfen: Now if you’re a TRUE Hip hop artist or hip hop head you should know the answer to my question. What are the four elements of hip hop?
Catt: Boying, MCing, Graffiti, DJing!
Elfen: What is your given name and where were you born; what drew your body mind and soul to hip hop?
Catt: My name is Christopher Latimer. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, raised in Far Rockaway Queens in apartment 4g and that’s were my journey began. Listening to my father play his records and on Saturday mornings, watching Soul train and that’s where the inspiration of dancing came into play also I’m the middle child of 5 siblings an older sister and brother and two younger sisters. I had a wonderful childhood. Music was always a part of my life
Elfen Who is your favorite all time hip hop artist?
Catt My all-time favorite hip hop group is A Tribe Called Quest hands down
Elfen: Sad to say we’ve recently lost two of music’s finest, Phife Dawg from Tribe Called Quest and Prince. What does losing these two icons mean to you and the music industry as a whole
Catt: OMG losing both of them was a hard hit Prince was such an influence to me when it came to being different and to being original and being who you are Not giving a fuck about what people say about you. As for Phife, he’s was part of my favorite rap group that made real hip-hop music Phife and the rest of tribe are still a huge influence in my music I miss them both. The industry has lost two great artists. R.I.P. PRINCE AND PHIFE DAWG ONE LOVE..
Elfen: Now that we know your government name how did you come up with your stage name Bob Catt?
Catt: I got the name Bob Catt from a childhood friend. We were a dance group called the Freakazoids, his name was Lynx and I was Bob Catt we were so freakin’ dope.
Elfen: I noticed in one of your picture post you are standing with Ms. Mariah Carey now how did you get a pic with Mariah?
(L) Mariah Carey (R) Bob Catt 1995
Catt: Back in 1994 or 95, when Mariah Carey was releasing her album “Fantasy”, I received a phone call one morning from my best friend Asia Hernandez who was a good friend of the head choreographer by the name Buddha Stretch. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of him anyway Asia told me that Mariah was having an audition for her new video. So I went to the audition and at first I didn’t make the audition because I was nervous and so much was going on and threw off my game. That night Asia called me and said that I didn’t make it but she spoke to Stretch and he said I can come back to the second audition. I went in there and I nailed it, got the job and I worked with Mariah from 94 to 97.
Elfen: What inspired you to get into producing hip hop beats; the producing music game and can you give me some names of the artists you’ve worked with?
Catt: I got into producing when I was about 15 years old. What inspired me was listening to my parent’s old records and trying to make loops with the tape deck until I got my own equipment. I’ve worked with a group that I’m still a part of named MopTop, and another artist named InnerSoul and now I’m also currently working with a young lady name Xavi who is one of my great friends. She is Spanish Indian, very talented and business savvy.
Elfen: Are you still getting booked for music videos?
Catt: No
Elfen: Why?
Catt: Started a family I have a wife and two boys
Elfen: What are you currently doing to keep food on the table for your family?
Catt: Work a 9 to 5 and doing what I love MUSIC by the way “Cold Rain” was released today everywhere!
Elfen: As I do my research on the current state of mainstream hip hop, I have found this to be still true as it was back in 1989-90’s that the radio personality AKA the DJ, no longer has the power to pick or choose what he deems good music. It is all chosen for them by big corporations. Within the last 20 years or more we’ve seen a dramatic drop in all genres of music especially hip hop why do you think that is?
Catt: Because it’s all about the money and these young stupid artist think that this is the life to say a bunch of dumb shit thinking that’s what makes them famous and its just to make us look stupid to make the white man for money making us look like slaves in the field.
Elfen: Can you name a mainstream hip hop artist?
Catt: The only artist that comes to mind is Drake and that’s all I have to say I hardly listen to him I’m just not into that wack ass pop rap bullshit
Elfen: We now know who killed Radio Star. Who do you think killed music video shows and the ever popular music video and dance shows like Soul Train, The Grind, Video Soul, YO! Mtv Raps and BET Rap city?
Catt: What I think killed the popular video shows is the fuckin’ reality shows that are taking over every channel you turn on. There’s a new reality show every season. Take Love And Hip-Hop for instance, WHERE’S THE FUCKING HIP-HOP IT’S JUST A BUNCH OF DUMB ASS BITCHES FIGHTING ALL THE TIME ABOUT DUMB. STUPID SHIT.
Elfen: Pete Rock and Scarface gave their opinion on the state of mainstream hip hop and culture. Can you give your perspective on the culture and where you personally see mainstream hip hop going in the future?
Catt: Mainstream hip-hop is taking or took a huge plunge. I don’t think mainstream is going anywhere. There’s no real future for the mainstream, for the real black artist, it’s only for those fuckin Uncle Tom ass niggas to make that good money for the white folk. That shit really gets under my skin. Whites want us to act like monkeys to make them money.
Elfen: I saw and heard on a hip-hop documentary that there is a very loooooong list of TRUE hip hop artists who have been blacklisted or banned from BET, VH1 and MTV. What are your thoughts on that and are you on this list?
Catt: OMG I don’t know where to start OK HERE WE GO! Yes there is a list of TRUE school hip hop artist that have been banned from BET which is such BULLSHIT. All BET wants is pop rap, mush mouth music That garbage rap shit and I’m pretty sure one day I will make that list because I’m not making that bubble gum rap music. BET is missing out on real hip hop and even good neosoul music. Everyone knows that BET is doing it for the white audience and once again using these dumb ass uncle Tom slave pop rap artists .
Elfen: : Last year Missy Elliott made a surprise performance at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, myself and ol’ hip hop heads were so hyped for her and still are. It amazes me how the young ones had no idea who, what or where she came from they all thought she was a new artist. It seems like not only our hip hop artists are being forgotten but other genres of music like Jazz, country, rock and hard rock are as well. How do you think we preserve ALL genres of music?
Catt: All, true artists and all genres need to come together to stop all the fake shit that’s going on. It’s a damn shame that these ass stupid muthafuckas didn’t know who Missy was. This young generation are not studying there history when it comes to all genres of music I hate that shit. All these young bucks know about is that damn overrated Beyoncé and she gets on my nerves these kids really need to do their history they’re not getting it.
Elfen: Last time we talked as we’ve talked for hours about the state of hip hop, you mentioned something that our B-girl Camisha had mentioned that people like Kanye, Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu were so heavily promoted, jumped when they said jump they did so at a price. Their once thriving creativity is gone.
Catt: Yes the creativity is gone there’s no real feeling behind the music and how they’re making the music all their music is starting to sound the same it’s like they’re copying off each other. I mean everything sounds the same that bothers me Kanye is in the spotlight because of that Kim bitch if not he would be pushed underground and definitely would be struggling as an artist
Elfen: It has been said by a mainstream rapper Future that it’s all about the image what he is in real life is not what raps about. Why do you think a fake image is so successful now than it was back in the day?
Catt: I can remember a time when a few rap groups and MC Hammer back in the day tried to switch it up to gangsta rap and to rap hard but it just didn’t work and we fans wasn’t havin’ it. What’s not real is what sells more records and that shit is stupid to me…for Future to say that means that there’s nothing special in his real life he has nothing to talk about. He’s not a storyteller; all he has is an image and that’s it there’s nothing else so how can he call himself Future when he has no real past or future haha.
What’s not real is what sells more records and that shit is stupid to me…for Future to say that means that there’s nothing special in his real life he’s has nothing to talk about. He’s not a storyteller all be has is an image and that’s it there’s nothing el so how can he call himself Future when he has no real past or future haha.
Elfen: : You have said to me before that these new mainstream hip hop artists will not be remembered. But let’s be real Beyoncé, Jay Z, Eminem and Kayne will defiantly be remembered. Why do you say that?
Catt: They’ll definitely be remembered because they paid their dues and they were pretty consistent with putting music out all the time, even though everything that was put out wasn’t always a huge hit but they will become watered down because they’re not putting out classics, just music and the young audiences are brain washed to buy it. When I see these pop rappers preform that’s all I see is lights, action and mush in their mouth. I personally don’t call them artists.
Elfen: What is your definition of an artist and musician?
Catt: My definition of an artist is someone who can sing, dance, and play instruments, is a triple threat, a person who can tell a story in there writing and an image is good but the talent speaks for itself.
Elfen: Now that we know your definition, what do you call them? Why do you think these pop rappers are called artists?
Catt: I wouldn’t call these pop rappers artist. I would call them “no name assholes” I don’t know. This shit is not real music don’t get me wrong some of the beats are dope but that’s it and it ends there, and then after 5 minutes I don’t remember them they are just a fad there gonna come and go and these young stupid kids think that it’s the hottest shit out the they don’t listen to no other genres of music they have no recollection that there’s more music out there, so sad.
Elfen: If a mainstream mush mouth rapper came to you asking to makes some beats with him/her would you turn the offer down? If so why?
Catt: I would definitely turn it down I’d never want any mush mouth bullshit on my music they can get the fuck outa here wit that monkey shit!!!! I stand for hip hop not garbage.
Elfen: NOT EVEN FROM DRAKE??
Catt: Drake maybe but he would have to do what I say
Elfen: Okay have you checked out A Tribe Called Quest New album and their appearance on SNL if you did which I know as a fan you must have what did you think?
Catt: I’m so happy. The industry needs that album I only heard a few trax and I loved what I heard and yes I saw them on SNL I WAS SO AMPED!
Well my hip hop heads I’m sorry but I talked and chatted for so long until I have to split this interview in two!! ‘Til next time Hip hop heads keep playin’ that REAL HIP HOP!
Here’s a taste of his music below:
BLACKHAIR MAGAZINE and the tail of the white model
“
We often ask PR companies/salons to submit images for the magazine, specifically stating that models must be Black or mixed race. We can only take their word for it,” the editor of Blackhair magazine said.
Why is it that we as Black and white people always have to question ones ethnicity? I must admit I have and do at times question folks on their ethnicity but it’s not to judge them it is because I am so interested in different ethnicities and backgrounds of people.This weekend Blackhair magazine was criticized for putting a white young model in a kinky haired wig passing her off as a light skinned black woman. Okay PR made a mistake the model Emily Bador wrote an apology on her IG explaining that she noticed that they used an old headshot of her when she was 15 she also explained why people would take offense to this. READ BELOW:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BNDrib-l083/
Now from what I understand Emily Bador noticed her own picture of herself and contacted the PR magazine told them of their “error.” Then went on her IG apologize saying she is white and some of you still question her ethnicity?So with that comes social media debate of what is she?To me she looks like an ambiguous very light skinned black woman but she has told us that she is white and folks still want to tell her who she is. White people want to say she’s white or insist that she’s of European decent but isn’t white people of European decent?Black folks want to say she’s mixed or bi racial one parent is black they other is white. Others say she’s passing as white but she really a light skinned black.
“If I had known it was going to be published, I would never have condoned it. … I was never asked by the photographer/hair salon/anyone if this image could be used for the cover of Blackhair,” she said.
Black folks need to stop just stop if says she’s white then she’s white. How hard is that for you to except? The hypocrisy of it all if Emily Bador said she was a light skinned black woman you’d say she was white.As for you white people SOME of you just get under my dark skin dictating what we people of color are and who we are not. YES WE black folks do it for very different reasons. If you ask me we black people ask what are you? so we can identify with the parson so we can feel safe.
There was a time in the entertainment industry if you was of mixed race you wouldn’t be able to work so the bi racial person who was born with black daddy or mother would pass as white just to survive. This is the same for other perfusions these bi racial people just wanted to fit in some forgot their blackness all together just to belong.
We as a society are so obsessed with color until we don’t see color as problem within our world.

Catering job leaves black business owner facing boycott over Donald Trump Jr. photo-op
DETROIT (WXYZ) – A black business owner is under fire, his restaurant boycotted, because he chose to cater a Republican event involving Donald Trump Jr. in Detroit.
Last week Chef Don Studvent was captured on camera with the Presidential nominee’s son. According to Studvent, he was returning to the venue to grab his pots and pans after serving food. The photo-op left a bad taste in some people’s mouths, and now Studvent’s business is suffering.
“They want to not only not support me, but boycott me!” said Studvent. “It’s unfair and it’s selfish.”
Studvent, known as Chef Don, has run the 1917 American Bistro on Livernois Avenue for seven years. The self-described Democrat said he didn’t think anything of taking the job, or allowing the candidate’s son to snap a picture with him.
“There is personal and there is business, it should always be separate,” said Studvent. “Business-wise I can’t take sides. I just can’t.”
While Studvent saw the situation as cut-and-dry, others were up in arms. One Facebook post shared more than 200 times reads, in part: “after seeing the owner spinning and grinning here with Trump Jr. I’ll be eating at Kuzzo’s from now on.” As more people commented, the call came to boycott the restaurant.
“It hurts,” said Studvent, pointing out that he had two tables filled during his typically busy lunch hour.
“This is my living,” he said. “And it’s not just my living, my employees as well.”
He hopes the situation blows over quickly, but with the tensions surrounding the 2016 election, Studvent said it may take a lot of work to get his customers back.
Why should Phil Jackson HAVE to apologize?
Phil Jackson President New York Kicks
This evening as I was reading all the racially, homophobic and all kinds of phobic hate filled irrational rhetoric on Facebook and saw an article about Phil Jackson 13 championship coach of the Chicago Bulls now president of the New York Knicks offended LeBron James for calling LeBron James and his business associates as posses when describing the men he works proudly with.
Now Shaun King writer journalist for the Daily News also found the word posse as offensive to our black men saying on his Facebook that he is a lifelong fan of Phil Jackson he absolutely agreed with Labron saying that for Jackson would not have called his business team a “posse” if they was white he would have never used the word posse to describe them. Shaun continued to say that these are highly skilled businessmen and leaders.
And on top of that these are grown respectable dudes with families.
Phil should apologize learn from this and move on.
I disagree on this one I really do.
Not every white person has bigoted, racial and or stereotypical intention in their gesture and or what they say.
This world today is so PC Politically Correct until some people walk on egg shells not to upset or offend anyone until it’s ridiculous. In fact a lot of Shaun’s follows was offended themselves there was a lot of them that said what I said what was wrong with calling his business partners posses?
I even googled the definition and it read….
pos·se
- UShistoricala body of men, typically armed, summoned by a sheriff to enforce the law.
- Britishhistoricalthe body of men in a county whom the sheriff could summon to enforce the law.noun: posse comitatus; plural noun: posse comitatus
- informala group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation, or purpose.“he pompously led around a posse of medical students”
synonyms: gang, band, group, crowd, pack, horde, herd, throng, mob, swarm, troop, cluster; More company, gathering;informalbunch, gaggle, load“Sheriff Munro assembled a posse of armed men to track down the train robbers” - informal
SIGH I do think LeBron and Shaun King is making much about nothing. LeBron needs to worry about President Elect Trump getting into the Oval Office and the battle we have to face in the coming four years. WE ALL NEED TO PICK OUR BATTLES THIS AIN’T ONE OF THEM!

Woman Killed Stranger Who Slapped Stepson On Hoops Court, Prosecutors Say
COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL COURTHOUSE — A West Side woman shot a stranger to death who slapped her 13-year-old stepson on a basketball court, prosecutors said Thursday.
The incident started Aug. 8 in the late afternoon as the boy played basketball near Springfield Avenue and Polk Street in the Garfield Park neighborhood, Assistant State’s Attorney Bryan Grissman said during a bond hearing Thursday.
The 13-year-old got in an argument with 22-year-old Ireal Mitchell, and Mitchell slapped the teen, prosecutors said.
The boy went home and told his stepmother, Sirena Crosby, 38, what happened, Grissman said. Crosby went to the basketball court to confront Mitchell. After a short time, she returned home.
That’s when she asked a man “to get a gun,” Grissman said. She and the accomplice got into Crosby’s silver Chevy Malibu and headed toward the basketball courts, according to prosecutors.
Crosby spotted Mitchell in the 800 block of South Springfield Avenue, Grissman said. As Mitchell walked by Crosby’s car, she pointed a gun from the driver’s side window and fired several shots — fatally striking Mitchell in his arm and back, police and prosecutors said.
Crosby then sped off, Grissman said.
The shooting was captured on surveillance footage, prosecutors said, and multiple witnesses were able to identify Crosby and her silver Chevy Malibu.
Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. on Thursday ordered Crosby, of the 400 block of North Springfield Avenue, held in lieu of $3 million bail.
