Happy Birthday to the 9: Nerdboy turns 27

Happy Birthday, Dev, aka Nerdboy, Dwayne Swain, Geek Nasty, Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker, Stevie Wonder, Window Shopper (In rougher times), Hammertime. Enjoy some of Devyn's classic moments caught on film and audio. Dev Swain: Uninterrupted N.E.R.D Boy Nerdboy- We're Just Talking Theme Alpha Commercials

Playa Hating From The Sideline: Who's Really Plotting On Your Boo

I see you creeping in the background. You're not slick; fall back. The "you" I'm referring to is the current or future guy who meddles in my relationship. I'm not trying to speak this travesty into existence, or bore you by blabbering on about my love life. The topic is being addressed because the playa hater aka "crab in a bucket", "Buster" Douglas, or PB (doesn't stand for peanut butter) is on the prowl, and their tactics can cause serious detriment to those looking for love. In an early episode of the classic TV sitcom, "Martin", the title character becomes concerned when Gina begins to hang out with a male coworker named  Wallace . His entry into Gina's circle was that he participated in tasks men generally hate, like shoe shopping. Your girl and her best friend: They're just so close... so close...too damn close. While Wallace was not actually pushing up on Gina, there are plenty of men (and women...ladie...

Peace Out: Breaking Up With Class and Dignity

"That's passé." They'll have a song out soon. In my friend circle, we use this phrase commonly to highlight actions and behaviors that are frowned upon. An activity that would most CERTAINLY be considered passé here at Y.M.e? is the recent scuffle between  my light skinned twin Chris Brown (you know they call me "Chris Brown-skin") and his lighter counterpart, Drake. This nightclub...FIASCO is disheartening for several reasons. First, two light-skinned people shouldn't be fighting; it's counterproductive to y'all comeback and El Debarge would not appreciate it. Secondly, it's rumored that the fight surfaced over the two's previous involvement with a former flame, Ri-Ri. Now I know that Caribbean women are nice with it, but my Lord! It's NEVER to cool to fight over the past. If these claims are true, it leads me to back to the respective "break-ups" of these singing/rapping individuals with the previously menti...

You Went Commercial on Me (A Few of My Favorites)

Hey family, With the Super Bowl just a week away, I'm looking forward to great commercials. My frat brother has informed me Ferris Buehler may make an appearance, and I'm sure the big boys like Coca-Cola and Doritos will give us something. This led me to reminisce over commercials both past and present that are all time classics. So here are 6 of my favorite listed below (Please note that some of these commercials are NOT from the Super Bowl): Terry Tate "Office Linebacker"- The Felcher Group reaches out to Reebok to improve production in the work place. Mountain Dew "Bohemian Rhapsody"- The brother in the back never gets his proper due. RBK A5 Commercial/Nike Battle (Tie)- The "Hood" stood up when rap star Jadakiss and legendary producers The Neptunes made their way to basketball commercials for Reebok and Nike, respectively. Pepsi- "Michael Jackson: Pepsi Generation"- A young Alfonso Ribiero performing the dances from Th...
