𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐎’s “Bottle Culture Ruined an Entire Club Scene”

There used to be a VIP Section and General Population was everywhere else. VIP wasn’t bought with bottle packages, it was reserved for the hottest celebs, drug dealers, bad bitches, ballers & shot callers.

1. A few bottles were given to the VIP guests complimentary (usually champagne) because the high rollers would buy top shelf all night for their peoples.

2. There was always enough room in VIP Sections that you didn’t have to leave to party with General Population (unless you wanted to).

3. The real celebrity was the Promoter and DJ because no matter the event, if a certain Promoter or DJ name was on the flyer you knew you were going!

4. Around the ending of MySpace and before Instagram popped off a shift happened. The OG Promoters/DJs were throwing in the towel, getting locked up, defamation cases of sexual assault allegations, etc... So, the next in line were their lil homies/bros who were waiting for that limelight scene.

5. The new DJs couldn’t scratch, transition, or drop exclusive remixes. The promoters were more interested in being famous than anything else. Drinks were watered down. Bottles were up charged; thus the boom of birthday reservations, sections, and bottle girls was unbalanced causing major distribution issues.

6. The club was no longer seen as exclusive or fun. It became flashy in a desperate way. It was so lame that the owners and employees had to turn Sunday brunches into “turn-ups” to recoup money lost between Fridays and Saturdays. It worked well to keep businesses afloat until COVID-19 hit.

7. And lastly, the removal of designated dance floors to make room for the influx of sections aided in the decline of dancing! The dance floor used to be the highlight of the club. Expensive bottles had people dancing with their cups instead of other patrons!

Please note that this is my experience as a former nightlife promoter from NYC. This is also not a representation of Caribbean club culture which in my opinion has kept the torch burning more.

Lifetime Releases Official Trailer For Salt-N-Pepa Biopic

Source: @PhotosByNae / iONEDigital

The trailer for legendary rap group Salt-N-Pepa‘s Lifetime biopic has been released and we can’t wait to see it.

Over the weekend, Lifetime released the trailer for the upcoming authorized biopic for Salt-N-Pepa which chronicles the legendary group’s rise to fame and personal struggles while becoming the first female platinum group. Filmed in Toronto, the miniseries offers a look into the rap icons’ lives as they transitioned from being students at Queens Community College to hitting it big in the music industry and making history.

The three-hour saga, which stars GG Townson as Cheryl “Salt” James, Laila Odom as Sandra “Pepa” Denton, and Monique Paul as Deidra “DJ Spinderella” Roper, initially drew criticism over the casting photos after many noticed that the women cast seemed to be a little lighter than the members of the group.

WTH! They look NOTHING like them at all.

Colorism at its finest.

But with the debut of the trailer, fans were left rejoicing at the casting choices after Lifetime announced that veteran director Mario Van Peebles was directing the project along with Salt N Pepa, Queen Latifah, Shakim Compere, and James Maynes serving as executive producers. Despite being a member of the group, DJ Spinderella isn’t involved in the film at all due to an ongoing lawsuit between her and her former group members.

I ain’t watching no damn Salt N Peppa movie till they do right by Spinderella

In 2019 while on the daytime talk show, The Real, Pepa addressed the casting, specifically she revealed who she initially wanted to portray her in the miniseries. According to Pep, she initially wanted her daughter Egypt to play her in the series, but Egypt wasn’t cast in the role despite Pep’s input on ensuring she got her mannerisms down.

Pepa: Well, Egypt did audition for the role to play me and…

Egypt: And so, everything has to be perfect. So, I didn’t get to play her but I am still in the movie.

Pepa: But let me tell you the funny thing, when I was prepping her to play me, I was like practicing with her, ‘This is what I did then. This is how it happened.’ Because it was my story. When she went for the audition because you know I’m going to let her go through the whole story. She came back out like, ‘Mom, everything you taught me was wrong.’

The project also stars Cleveland Berto as music producer Hurby Azor and Jemel Howard as Pepa’s ex-husband,  “Treach,” from Naughty by Nature.

Check out the trailer below.

So proud of @mojodisco​ for always inspiring youth & being a great role model for queer folks of color! 

Mojo Shares:

“Today I got the opportunity to motivate lgbtq+ teens at the Museum of the City of New York. Inspiring the youth is my true passion! When I was coming up, nothing like this existed, so this opportunity was very important to me. When you walk in your purpose, people who value your work will ALWAYS PAY YOU YOUR WORTH. I thank you Lauraberth Limafor thinking of me and to every young person at the end of the rainbow, just know I'm paving the way for you all! 🌈”
