Last season, this show was one of my few addictions. Although I was anticipating it's return, I have not been watching it, so I'm unaware of what's really know what's going on.I'm hearing mixed reviews; some say it's off the hook, but more people have said it's ridiculously OTT.
The other day while at work I was changing my radio station back to 102.7 but I decided to skim through other stations. I typically don't listen to hip-hop [i.e. rap and some r&b] at my desk or at home, because I hear it enough since I frequent urban parties, not to mention, it's not my favorite type of music. It's merely entertainment for me. I'm more into soulful music - music that provides some sort of therapy.
Anyhow, while flipping through stations, I heard "In the Obama era..." Clearly, that caught my attention so I instantly stopped surfing. The station was 107.5, Wendy's Experience, or whatever her show is called. She happened to be talking about Keyshia Cole's show and how much of a disgrace it is to black people.
Her exact words were "In the Obama Era, the Keyshia Cole show is an embarrassment."
Whoa. Am I missing a good season? What has really happened for her to make the show sound so abominable? Now I'm sure the show is a bit urban, but exactly what did that comment mean? Is she saying that now that we have an African American President, the show is too "ghetto"? So, had McCain won this year's presidential election, the ghetto-ness of the show would've been okay? This ties into my friend Vegas' Blog. He wrote a post about African Americans who think they should become better people now that we have a black person in the Oval Office.
I understand some people's motivation due to Obama's success, but Wendy's comment was kind of disturbing. I should've called in!
