Awww…somebody is in love! Rob Kardashian Twerked

Awww…somebody is in love! Rob Kardashian just couldn’t wipe the smile off his face while partying with Blac Chyna in Jamaica on March 13, and clearly had eyes only for her as she twerked for a giant crowd. Looks like things are definitely going well between these two!

Rob Kardashian, 28, and Blac Chyna, 27, are clearly enjoying their romantic getaway! The lovebirds are in Jamaica, where Chyna made a club appearance on March 13, and Rob was right there by her side as she entertained the crowd. Seriously, check out that huge smile he’s flashing while checking out his gal at the party!


Despite rarely making public appearances over the last several years, Rob was with his gal the whole way as she traveled from California to Jamaica to host the Montego Bay event on March 13. And instead of hiding out in the hotel room for the party, Rob even showed up at the actual event and proudly looked on as Chyna twerked, danced and interacted with the crowd. One thing Blac reportedly wasn’t doing, though, was drinking — and fans are speculating that might mean she’s pregnant with Rob’s baby!
The 28-year-old has noticeably been more comfortable with being out in public since getting together with Chyna earlier this year, and as the two continue to workout and eat healthy, he’s been constantly showing off a slimmer figure each time we see him step out now. Even though Rob wore gym shorts and a t-shirt to the club, it’s apparent that he’s really shed some of those unwanted pounds. Stream KUWTK on Amazon Prime right here.

Twerking: What is it, and why do we care so much?

   In lieu of the Miley Cyrus, VMA debacle, I thought to myself, “Self, it’s time for some hardcore twerk research. We owe it to the public”; And yes my friends, I did indeed do just that. Now, let’s be very clear, I do indeed know what twerking is. If you are anywhere close to Mizzou on a Friday night you also know what twerking is. This article, however, is for the slim percentage of the population that actually spend their time educating themselves on topics worth while, such as: politics, current events etc. In other words, those who -unlike myself- don’t have time to research the origin of this new trend.
   Long before Miley Cyrus decided to twerk on a married man on national television, the new phenomena was first made mainstream by none other then Queen Beyoncé herself in 2006. That’s right. According to HLNtv.com she was the first to include the word “twerk” in her music reciting, “Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it”. Lyrics from her song “Check On It” for the motion picture “Pink Panther”. 
   The craze took off. There were millions of Youtube videos, twerk teams, and pleasantly confused young men all around the country. And then there was Miley. You see, Miley is in fact seven years behind trend; but between you and me, let’s not waste our time trying to convince her of that. In all actuality, little Destiny Hope Cyrus had just started on her Hannah Montana journey when the craze hit. BUT In all due respect to Billy Ray, from now on I will leave Hannah out of this matter. It’s the least I could do. 
   Now for the official definition. Unfortunately, Webster has not yet gotten around to the defining this life-altering movement, so I had to turn to the second best source- Urban Dictionary. According to UD twerking is, “The rhythmic gyrating of the lower fleshy extremities in a lascivious manner with the intent to elicit sexual arousal or laughter in ones intended audience”. To put it into context, UD provides us this example of when to properly use the term, “Hey girl, let’s go twerk on the dance floor”. Oh UD, you get me every time. 
   And finally, why in the hell do we all care so much? Well, I can personally say that I only care because when pretty girls twerk and thus, their faces are on the floor, I then become the prettiest female specimen in the room (Yes, I’m serious). As for everyone else, well, I’m not sure. So, like every other logical American who doesn’t know something, I turned to Katie Couric who tweeted a link a little over a month ago reading, “This. This twerking.” With a video attached (Viewer discretion is advised).
   If you want the HONEST truth, I think the viewing audience is so captivated by twerking because one, it’s nothing short of an optical illusion; and two, we love the hot mess that comes with it. Wherever twerking is, trouble will soon follow. Whether it’s at the frat house on Friday night where Becky is twerking on her best friend Jenny’s boyfriend; or at the VMAs where Miley Cyrus- a previous Disney Channel star and role model, (Yes, I meant previous role model) is twerking on Robin Thicke who appeared to be completely prepared with his pimp suit on. Drama is drama, and ‘We the People in order to form a more dysfunctional union’ have fully accepted our role in this new craze, and have rightfully accepted our membership into Twerk Nation. What can I say, another win for America.

The Twerk Team – Are you effin’ kidding me?

I just recently found out that what I call the “booty clap” is referred to as “twerking”.  Seriously if you type in the word on Youtube, you’ll find a plethora of videos showing girls shaking their phatty and for what reason is still a mystery.  After being informed that my super feminist, lesbian roommate wanted to learn how to twerk, I wasn’t sure I heard her correctly.  So curiosity led me to view some of the videos and that’s when I came across, The Twerk Team.
The Twerk Team, first starting out as a trio, are two females (don’t think they’ve earned “woman” status as of yet) doing what they do best, twerking.  They seem to have taken this seriously by setting up an interview video to let all their adoring fans know a little more about them.  They have even gone as far as to start rapping as well and here’s where the ultra fuckery begins…
Growing up in the South, I have an appreciation for “bamma music”.  As a youth, I used to play DJ Magic Mike, Gucci Crew II and 2 Live Crew on a regular basis.  However, that was over 20 years ago and thankfully the music has evolved (for the most part) to rappers having better lyrical skill. That assessment excludes the Twerk Team, however.  Their music video is supposed to display two young women’s musical talent, but yet what it does display is a generation of kids, growing up way too fast with no ambition or talent.  The song absolutely sucks and if it wasn’t for all of the special effects, I don’t think I could have watched it all the way through.
It’s a shame what these kids do for fun these days.  They are a bunch of oversexed, uneducated kids who I don’t foresee a very good future for.  I wonder if you see anything similar to what I surmised.

Meet the Winner of Juicy J’s $50,000 Twerking Scholarship

This post is about the importance of reading beyond headlines. Many times, I’ve seen Facebook and Twitter posts, mainly from those in the African American community posting and re-posting wrong information simply because of a misleading headline without even reading the story. This leads to wrong information getting out there and more of us in the dark about what’s really going on in the world. If this young lady had only read the headline, she would have either: A. Put on her best stripper outfit and went to town or B. Been completely turned off by the fact this is even a competition and totally missed out on an opportunity to help further her education . But instead, she looked into it further and went to work stating why she deserved this scholarship. I applaud her for reading beyond the headline, seeing past what the media was trying to make this out to be, and putting in work to win this scholarship.
P.S. I wonder how many twerking videos Juicy J actually received because of this.

The World Record Attempt For Most People Twerking Is Happening Today

The World Record Attempt For Most People Twerking Is Happening Today

Just like "The Twist" of the 50's, or "Grinding" from the wonderful 90's, twerking has become the de facto dance move of our modern age. Today history could be made, if the attempt to collect the most people simultaneously shaking their butts or "twerking," the most recent dance buzz, is successful. Miley Cyrus isn't even anywhere to be found either, I don't know how she would miss this.

Seriously, I was sure she was the one who organized this.

This record attempt was organized by New Orleans hip hop diva and "Queen of Sissy Bounce" Big Freedia, who has toured the country with a twerk team long before Miley took it to the big stage. Freedia's signature song is even called "Azz Everywhere" because it isn't a rap song without a "z" replacing an "s" in a word. Freedia also has a song called "Make Ya Booty Go."

Now Big Freedia wants to reclaim her crown atop the butt clapping throne by setting the Guinness World Record for "Most People Twerking Simultaneously," a feat that will be attempted in New York City's Herald Square any minute now.

The stunt will be filmed for Big Freedia's upcoming reality show (because of course it will) entitled Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce, which debuts next week. However, since this is a Guinness sanctioned event, there are rules which are great:

1. Body must remain upright, with movement concentrated in hips

2. Participants can put hands on knees or hips for support

3. Twerking action cannot come from knees. Hips only!

4. Freestyling or additional choreography not permitted. No hands on the ground, feet in the air, twirling, etc.

5. Twerking action must be synchronized, can be at own pace

6. All participants must twerk simultaneously for TWO MINUTES when Big Freedia gives the signal 

7. Any performers who do not participate fully for the entire TWO MINUTES will be deducted from the final total
