I’m sure Busta thought Ne-yo’s lipgloss was poppin, but dayum….couldn’t they wait until after the photogs left. I’m sorry y’all, but I was forced to watched ”The DL Chronicles” last night and then I see this dayum picture over at NecoleBitchie! *sigh*  It really wasn’t that bad though…besides the fact that I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out after seeing love scenes between two fine ass Black men.  Full of poor production and predictable storylines, the DVD attempted to bring Down Low behavior to the forefront by using a Sex and the City like narrator.  Maybe it’s me and my ability to see through people…but does “Down Low” even exisit anymore?  My friends and I see dudes at industry events and parties and we can just tell.  I can’t explain it…we just know.  So…sorry guys.  You really ain’t hiding nuthin.
