Some of you may know the New York City radio personality of the show "Miss Jones In the Morning" on Hot 97. She just released her autobiography "Have You Met Miss Jones?" In addition to a very entertaining on-air personality, apparently she used to be an R&B singer and had relationships with several stars, including Busta Rhymes and Doug E. Fresh. Sounds like a sensational tell-all doesn't it?
She fiercely argues that it's not and bristles at any comparison to the immensely popular tell-all/autobio of Karrine Steffans, bka "Superhead" and her phenom of a bestseller "Confessions of a Video Vixen." Miss Jones wants all to believe her book is an admittedly easy read about her struggle to pull herself up from her boot straps, a gripping tale of a brash and outspoken woman succeeding in a man's world.
News flash, Miss Jones: Not many people outside of these burroughs even knows who you are, so what makes you think they are dying to read your story or that your story is important enough for a book? You know very well you are cashing in on Superhead's sucess. Rationalize it to yourself however you wish, but at least be real enough to admit that the video vixen book opened the door for you. I have not read your book, and I don't plan to, but you know good and dang-on well you would never have picked up a pen if you hadn't seen a video hoe do it and think, man, I can do this too!
As much as you call others on their BS (and I like you for it!), you need to own up to yours. Don't clown somebody and then jock their style.
