“I like to capture moments…I always want people to go back and reflect on the times” Those are the words of the ever so talented photographer Myron Thibodeaux, a New Orleans native who’s taking the art of photography to a new level one snapshot at a time. For you and I a picture may simply be something to look at but for this young man it breathes life into his soul. His work doesn’t just involve people but architecture as well and with photos such as the New Orleans Superdome (his personal favorite) his portfolio is very diverse. Taking his city by a storm he is bringing life to different aspects of New Orleans for the world to see. The ladies of juicy expressions had the great opportunity to work with Lil Myron Thibb and he didn’t let us down. His character is just as impressive as his work. Humble, funny, and innovative this young man is definitely on the come up. So go ahead and check out this juicy interview we did to get a chance to learn about the man behind the lens and be sure to contact him if you are in need of any type of services in the NOLA!

Floyd the Undefeated Boxer Bringing it Back OG Style

Not only does Floyd “MONEY MAY” back up his trash talk in the ring but outside those ropes he handles business. The undefeated boxer took it OG style when he thought his employees he hired to work in his house in Vegas, stole some of his jewelry. According to Newsone.com, “He arranged for them to meet him at an unknown location where he had his “goons” waiting for them.” They beat them like that stole something…literally. After broken bones and bad bruising, the two men are pressing charges saying that Floyd should get charged with kidnapping, assault, and attempted murder because they were falsely accused. What makes all this so bad is that Floyd later found out they were telling the truth about not stealing the jewelry. You would think that Floyd would feel bad and break them off a lil something, but he has no remorse. He hasn’t been charged yet.

However, this isn’t Floyd’s first run in with violence. In 2011 he was sentenced to 90 days in jail for beating his ex girlfriend and the mother of their 2 children, he was fined in February of 2005 for a bar fight, he was acquitted July of 2005 for hitting and kicking the same ex girlfriend outside a nightclub. This list goes on and on and with this record it is not looking too good for the Money Team. But Of course his pockets are too heavy for any of this to stick. Floyd is expected to fight Marcos Maidana May 3 so let’s see if that will help him release some of his aggression.

Flawless Da Rich Kid Still Going Hard for the Sip

He’s Flawless but he didn’t wake up like this like Beyoncé did. Flawless da Rich Kid is a 26 year old rapper from Mississippi who has been putting in the work for a long time. You’ve probably heard him from his popular song “Watergun”, or even heard him featuring on Hollywood Luck’s song “Dance in That”. I’ve known Flawless da Rich Kid since he released his first single “I’m in Here” in 2010, so it was a blessing to interview him cause he has been going hard for the SIP even way before then. Some of his other mix-tapes he are known for is “Show Money or No Money”, “Dh3” “Live 4rm Da Wood Work”, “100 Bandz” , and the list continues. Check out the interview that I did with him below as well as his official “Watergun” video. Let me know if you think his music is Juicy or Dry. I vote Juicy 🙂

Why are you so mad if you’re not a LOOKIN A N**?

“Look at y’all lyin’ ass n*****, Talkin’ ’bout “It’s paid off” but it’s financed, lyin’ ass n****,Bunch of non-mogul ass n***** ,Frontin’ like they got a plan, Boost Mobile ass n****.” These lyrics are from Nicki Minaj’s latest release “lookin ass-n****”. Although this rap song is only a couple of weeks old, it seems to have sparked a lot of controversy amongst African American men, who are now claiming that any woman who is feeling the lyrics of this song must be suffering from low self- esteem. I find this claim to be an understatement and a reflection of low self-esteem on men who feel this way. Rap music in general constantly degrades black women on a daily basis, one may even say that 50% of today’s rap music is built on the degradation of women. However vulgar lyrics and the representation of women as b***es and whores have never stopped men from bobbing their heads and in some cases even embracing this negative perception towards all women.

With that being said, why does Nicki Minaj’s rap song have so many men upset? Are her lyrics hitting home? Or is Nicki viewed as one of those female rappers who are only allowed to degrade herself and encourage other women to do the same? Simultaneously the female group TLC received this same negative backlash from men in the early 2000’s from their song “No Scrubs”. It seems that every time a female artist goes against the grain and speaks about the faults and flaws of our male counter parts men don’t know how to deal with it? Why is this? If you haven’t heard the song yet watch the video below and let me know the real reason behind these men comments.

Hollywood Luck Minus the Hollywood Attitude

Some call him Hollywood Luck, most call him Mr. Pole Man, or if you really know him you may call him Duenta Butler. Luck may have many names but he has many talents to go along with those names. He is not only a successful hard working rapper but he also produces, has his own clothing line, and edits his own videos for his vlogs. Besides his most popular songs “Pole in my Pants” ft. Treasure Tee, “Dance In That” ft. Doe Hicks and Flawless Da Rich Kid, “Salute the Swag”, “Get they B****es”, and “Feeling Myself” ft. K Kamp, some other projects that he is known for are his mix-tapes including “Inside Man” released February 2011, “Sex Tape” released September 2011, “Inside Man 2-Heart One” released February 2012, Salute the Swag” released May 2012, “Durdy Sprite Remix” released November 2012, “Back 2 School” released Nov 2013, and “Salute the Swag 2” released November 2013. Luck is hardly home but always repping . {*in my drake voice} He released the Road to Rich Sh** DVD to showcase all the time, energy, and effort that plays into the background in making Hollywood Luck who he is today. No matter where he travels for shows, he represents his hometown Jackson Mississippi. One of the things he wants to be known for is putting Jackson on the map. Luck has hit some great milestones throughout his career one of them includes working with one of his idols Pimp C before he passed away in 2007. It was a pleasure interviewing this humble driven artist because I’ve personally been following his music since 2011 when I was attending Jackson State University. Don’t let the name Hollywood scare you away, it means many things but it doesn’t describe his attitude!
