Hold On! What Is Driss Mr Elba?
A 'big raas claat tune' this is not!
People wanna get on Jay for still being in the rap game at 40...and you got Idris doing what exactly with this nonsense at age 37?
Jay has earned his place, let him shine and continue to do his thing. I for one am not complaining about his presence in the industry.
If you've made a name for yourself in the US and the UK, I'd expect it to be a little bit more put together than this. I'm hoping this is actually a hobby, more so that a full fledged attempt at teasing us with what's to come in the form of an album.
When did Idrissa Akuna Elba become a Jamaican is what I would like to know? With roots from Sierra Leone and Ghana it would have been nice for him to pay a little homage to his roots with a liccle mix and blend instead of murdering a genre with the most awful and cringe worthy patois. Just what genre was this anyway? I'm confused by that as well as the waste of a pointless 1:31 intro of nothing. He needs to stick to what he does best, American accents and acting and leave the patois dialect and music career well and truly alone.
A doo rag Idrissa? Really?
I don't know what the aim is for the video or the tune, song, record, sin ting? All I know is I listened with the intent of forming a non-biased opinion. If it was good I would have said so, but it's not. I'm not an Idris fan, I don't become moist at the sight of him and I don't get the hype. There are a lot of ladies that do, so maybe this will be 4:38 of pure pleasure for them.
Never thought I'd say, this but I'd prefer to listen to Bangs from Sudan. Seriously!
One UK actor who actually makes the transition from big screen to studio booth which is more bearable is Adam Deacon.

I Just Don't Get It - Idris Elba

I got an invite today to an inaugural black tie gala hosted by Idris Elba in DC next week, and I've been meaning to ask for a long time...
...What is the appeal with this man?
I hear a ton of women saying "Oh he could soooooo get it." To me he's just a regular looking Black man from London, and even more regular when he's speaking in his English accent. In all honesty I see these types everyday on the tube and train. If Idris was sitting on the train in front of me on his daily commute, I wouldn't give him a second look [not saying he'd even give me a first glance] but the fact that he's famous doesn't even add to it either.
A ton of women swoon over this man and I'm just not getting it, not even when he was wearing a wife beater in Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls was I smitten.
ONE THING I am, and that is honest. If I see and actor on TV most women are inclined to say he's cute, just literally for the fact the brotha is on the TV. So I have to ask myself "If I saw this man on the street as a regular Joe would I find him attractive?" The answer has to be yes before I'll adopt a Hollywood/TV crush on a male actor. I don't just go along with the masses for the sake of it.
Denzel is another one. NO THAT BROTHA COULD NOT GET IT!! He's beyond average. I swear black women jump on the same bandwagon and are afraid to think outside the box sometimes. If Denzel wasn't an actor and looked like 'at a basketball game with his son' Denzel , they would not be talking about dropping panties and fineness trust me. [Plus I've seen a picture of his teeth pre-veneers]. Like your panties would have been dropping back in tha day for that! The only time Denzel look decent was in Training Day. That's the only props he'll get from me, and that effed up broken finger of his...why he didn't get that fixed I'll never know.

Now Will Smith if he was a regular Joe and walked into a Starbucks I would look and look hard even with the ears I think they are so cute. The same with that fine ass white boy Paul Walker. Tyrese **shakes head** doesn't do it for me. Now Common...out would come the Blackberry and would be speed dialling Mrs H to tell her the fineness I just witnessed.
Back to Idris, maybe he has some appeal to some women. The first few pictures I saw of him, brotha needed to lotion in between his finger crease and use some chap stick. He just looked straight up ashy as hell. And don't forget the peanut head. I can't get past that. Maybe some women can. But hey... that's just me. I can't.

And yes I picked the 'realest' picture I could of Idris find minus the airbrushing. I know plenty of non famous brothas who wouldn't even dare to step out of the house without a combed head or a shape up. from the barbers. He should feel shame.
And Andre 3000 **barfs** Don't even get me started on him. It's amazing the shit that man wears and not one gay rumour, but people want to 'go there' on the genius that is Prince and question his sexuality, who's had more women than Andre has hat hot dinners. Andre if you take a pressing comb to your hair dude, you too should be under the same scrutiny.
If I decide to go I'll let y'all know if he indeed has 'that appeal' in person. I'm one girl who is not easily impressed by fame, wealth or status. If you're unattractive, you're unattractive no amount of dollars in the bank is going to sway my judgement. So I'll keep it real and let you know...for real!
