So I watched the TLC Biopic on VH1 and I loved it. Whether they were telling the truth or it was a "fictionalized portrayal" I don't really give a hot rat's ass.
I believed the young ladies of TLC were "pebbled" in their contracts but not because of Pebbles Reid herself but from the history of the industry itself. I'm a HUGE MUSIC LOVER. Point. Blank. Period. There's no genre I don't love. I listen to them all.
So in saying that if something comes on the Boob Tube about an artist I love I am glued to the TV. There was a special on about New Edition and they were talking about all the touring they did and album selling and still living in the projects.
Another example would be New Kids on the Block (pre-NSync). I'm showing my age with this one, but nonetheless they were basically done the same way.
So now to connect the dots on why the title of the post. I read several blog sites daily Monday through Friday, faithfully. So as I was making my rounds today I come across a post on gumbumper.com about Pebbles an this "Hidden" son, Tian McKissack. You can read the article Here. Or you can the article on the The Grid10.
Now I ask you if a woman has a child that she's hidden from the public and barely claims as her own what makes you think she will do 3 young woman any better? My answer is she wouldn't. I've had a long belief about women who have children and mistreat them. If you can carry a child 10 months (yes it's 10 damn month trust me I have 4 children that I birthed) and will act like you don't know them and have nothing to do with them then what kind of mother, woman, person, are you?
Not to say everybody got to be the ratchet Mother / Grandmother that I am. Cuz that's not necessary and everybody aint about that life. But damn where's the love for someone who knows your heartbeat, that you carried and delivered.
So Ms Perri McKissack Smith Reid Nixon Sharrieff or Ashley Winzor Smith Reid what you got to say now?
But for now I say "dont get pebbled."
