Okay, nuff deaths for a while I hope, off to a completely different subject: Can people PLEASE stop hating on DC native Fershgenet Melaku aka Angel Melaku aka Angel Lola Luv aka LoLa Monroe (many names, many talents) for just one second?! Let her breath if u don't like the air or at least cut the girl some slack?
Sure, she's a black girl idolising white girl Marilyn Monroe, she's a former video vixen that has graced the world of hiphop for the last three years, she's THE ultimate hiphop pinup, she a true whooty, has an ass for days, butt implants or not, she looks dangerously beautiful, almost too beautiful, riding on her modelling career to pursue one in music blah blah blah reh reh reh...
Yeah, the ultimate video vixen Angel Lola Luv has left them angel wings behind to transcendent into LoLa Monroe the rapper and she's now also the ultimate hater aggrevator. First (and most obvious) cause of pretty face and killer curves and second for that she likes to speak her mind open about things that later on gets totally blown out of proportions and a bit out of hand (and context), like the so called "beef" with Nicki Minaj for example. Is this beef?
If so, it's a pretty lame steak if u ask me... to compare Lola and Nicki is just plain stupid really, it's 2009 people, I think we have room for more than just one new female rapper a year.
And right now we have this SuperHead-bag; (SuperHead = Karrine Steffans, a former music video vixen and porn star who wrote two books that made the New York Times best seller list; "Confessions of a Video Vixen" in 2005 and "The Vixen Diaries" in 2007):
And yeah, that got the hate unleashed again but she tries to explain it all a bit deeper in her blog for Global Grind:
The perceptions that people have of me and most video models are the total opposite of reality. They see things from the outside. So they have no idea about what goes on behind the scenes with the ones that do this to benefit themselves in a positive way.
[...]
There are a lot of respectable females in the video game that are taking on these jobs to get exposure so that they can take that next step to pursue their choice of careers. Whether it’s behind the scene or in the lime light. There are also females that do it so they can pay their way through school or even need the extra money on the side in order to make ends meet. So why knock the hustle based on the actions of the weak minded video groupies?
And yeah, all u guys sitting on ur forums posting noliners like "if her CD at least came with I strip, I would buy it, now I wont, girl can't rap"... Yes, u have to pay for a strip show, that's all the womanly flesh u ever gonna see in ur sad little life. And the bad mouthing that LoLa can't rap and that she just woke up one day and wanted to rap and jumped on the rap-train: she began penning rhymes when she was 12 and she raps ur socks off and the socks off many many waste of time and name male rappers so please, shut the little pie whole, drink some more Jolt coke and get back to riding ur silly WoW-dragon!
It's like as long she's doing the video vixen-thing she's all good, eye candy is harmless but when she steps out of the frame to compete in the lime light from a completely different angle; as an artist, she's suddenly a threat? The "average girl that prevailed", but average girls don't put up as much of a fight do they? When it comes to her career, LoLa gets what she wants and I guess that's the _real_ problem?
Okay if she were a bad rapper, but now she's NOT, the fact is, LoLa Monroe is one of the most interesting newcomers in years. Sure, she brings nothing new to the round table of female rappers of today other than the usual: good looks, hustle-topics and the common bitch behaviour-lyrics. BUT she does it well and is smart enough to feed off the hater-buiz in her music. One thing is for damn sure, LoLa stirs things up just the way I like it and I just love her voice and style to rap, utter perfection!
However, the talking is done and the mixtape is here, where she teams up with the undisputed mixtape giant DJ Fletch. As expected, LoLa spits fire; airing out rumors, haters, gossip and tells her story from rags to riches so welcome to "Bo$$ Bitch's World":
