Essence captured a few moments in 2007 that DKX is calling, "A Damn Shame Moment in 2007":
News: Since R. Kelly was charged with 21 counts (seven of which were later dropped) of child pornography in 2002, his trial was stalled for the umpteenth time in five years last September.
Our Final Say: The prosecutors in this case must either be extremely unlucky or trapped in the closet.
News: Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty last July to a felony conspiracy charge related to gambling, animal abuse and dog fighting.
Our Final Say: With a ten-year $130 million football contract and a $22 million signing bonus, did he really need the barbaric side hustle?
News: Last July the word crunk was added to Merriam-Webster's dictionary. It was defined as "a style of southern rap music that features repetitive chants and rapid dance rhythms."
Our Final Say: The etymology of slang has risen to new heights, as the English language plummets to a new low.
News: New York's Hot 97 radio personality Tarsha "Jonesy" Jones and former video model Karrine "Superhead" Steffans release sexually explicit exposes about their trysts with boldface-name celebrities.
Our Final Say: Although these books claim to be cautionary tales of what not to do in the biz, is there enough redemptive value within for young Black girls to be truly inspired?
News: Last September Foxy Brown was sentenced to a year in jail for violating her probation by getting arrested, leaving the state without permission, and skipping her anger management classes - this in light of being charged for hitting a neighbor with a BlackBerry.
Our Final Say: After years of obnoxious and offensive lyrics and a bout with hearing loss, we hope the Ill Na Na listens to the judge this time.
News: Even with James Brown's passing a year ago, his unsettled estate calls into question his sex-machine ways and the motives of his next of kin.
Our Final Say: Will the Godfather of Soul ever rest in peace?
News: Hours before the BET Hip Hop Awards 2007 last October, T.I. was arrested on charges of possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Our Final Say: Call it a personality split, but T.I.'s criminal-minded alter ego may need some couch time.
News: A few weeks prior to the debut of Star Jones's new Court TV show last summer, she acknowledged having gastric bypass surgery.
Our Final Say: Duh!
News: Last March supermodel Naomi Campbell served a five-day community service sentence for striking her maid with a cell phone. But when photographers chronicled her daily arrival at New York's Sanitation Department, Campbell played into the media frenzy. On her last day of dirty work, she left wearing a silver metallic couture gown.
Our Final Say: Only Naomi could turn a sanitation depot into a high-fashion runway.
