Princess of Hip Hop and R&B

For those of you who didn't know, I LOVE ASHANTI! A lot of people underestimate her talent, resulting in her low record sales. But she has so much to offer. Recently, shes been dropped from Irv Gotti's The Inc. recording label. I think its for her benefit because the label is trash! Currently, Ashanti is performing The Wiz on Broadway and you know i gotta go see it. So please show her some love and respect her talent cuz shes definitely a star!!

Irv Loses Another Artist!

Its official! Lloyd decides to finally leave The Inc. Records. This is the second artist that has left the recording label. This goes to show you that its not the artist, but the label. Lloyd said in a statement released to the press. “ I'm ready for a change. There’s no bad blood. I just feel I need to take more control over my career and get a fresh start. Hopefully Irv can understand my position.”

Welcome to Starbox!! Onika Maraj (Born December 8, 1984) known as Nicki Minaj is a female rapper from Southside Jamaica, Queens, NewYork. She grew up in a troubled home, with a father on drugs and a struggling single mother. Despite her hectic environment, Minaj went on to graduate from LaGuardia High School in Manhattan where she studied singing and acting.

Working as an administrative assistant, she dedicated all of her free time to pursuing a potential music career. Nicki Minaj started off singing, from background vocals, to hooks for local rappers. Minaj wanted to "stand out" more, from the average dime-a-dozen young aspiring singer and began writing raps. Starting out as the lone female in a group, which she left in 2006.

Nicki soon branched out and was noticed on Myspace by Dirty Money CEO Fendi. Who signed her and put her on the front of his Dirty Money Label, and his The Come Up DVD. Appearing on The Carter Edition of the DVD series, Minaj was noticed by rapper Lil' Wayne who immediately called Fendi to negotiate meeting Nicki. He was convinced by not only her different style of rapping, but her ability to full on write her own material that she was perfect to be the face of his Young Money label. The two collaborated on mixtape styled remakes of tracks such as "Sunshine", "Big Spender" and more recently a song entitled "Higher than a Kite" which uses T.I.'s "My Swag" beat.

In April of 2007, she released her first mixtape entitled Playtime is Over. Where she posed as a Barbie doll on the cover. Lil' Wayne appeared on the track "Can't Stop, Won't Stop". Nearly a year later, Minaj released her second mixed cd titled Sucka Free. Controversy surrounded this as Nicki paid tribute to rapper Lil' Kim by posing with her legs spread for promotional posters. She describes it as something to "pull people in", so that they would listen to what she had to say. Nicki Minaj graced the pages of the July issue of the XXL magazine giving a brief overview of her life up to that point in time.

Originally using her real last name Maraj, Nicki boasts she started calling herself Minaj because she started "eating chicks", with her vicious rap skills. Its pronounced as Menage, only spelled to compliment her real last name with a J instead of the traditional spelling. Aside from her original moniker, Minaj also uses an array of aliases to describe herself, such as; "Nicki Lewenski", "The Mistress" and "AKA Sit on your favorite rapper's face".

"Power"

It took him long enough! When you start making a certain amount of money, you run out of ideas of how to spend it. So you throw it down the drain like 50 Cent and come out with a fragrance called "Power". It will be launched EXCLUSIVELY at Macy's in Fall. Although i think its gonna be a flop, i might be surprised at how well it sells. He should've came out wit it b4 and named it Candy Shop. I probably would've bought it to match my G-Unit outfit. (Don't front like it wasn't poppin back then!)

It's official!! Everybody thinks they're Pocohntas!!

Whats up with this new trend?? Wearing the headband across the forehead. Just because you saw Nicole Richie and Mary- Kate Olsen doing it doesn't mean you can! Every time i go to the mall, I tend to see some bald headed scally wag wearing this and it just doesn't suit them. If you're gonna do it, do it right cuz there is nothing worst than following a fad that looks bad!

Why "A Boxx of Chocolates" ?

Well I'm glad u asked! I spent a while thinking about what this blog was gonna focus on and I came to a conclusion: EVERYTHING!! From celebrity gossip, fashion alerts, to things about me, ABOC has something everyone can relate to or find interesting. So coming up with the title wasn't a walk in the park; it took a lot of brainstorming. Courtesy of Forest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get". Hence, the title of my blog, because you never know what i have in store for my bloggers.
