Lola made another entry on her Global Grind blog where she talked about Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson passing feels so unreal! He had such a tremendous impact on the lives of so many! Even my mother, she never listened to any other type of music unless it was Ethiopian music but she always rocked to Michael Jackson!

I used to watch his videos and be so intrigued by him! When I was young, I loved horror movies and scary books so when he came out with the ‘Thriller’ video it was then that I realized what an extraordinary entertainer he was. He combined my two loves at the time music and horror.

He was the greatest and no one can ever have the same impact and leave the same mark in Entertainment History! He is the reason why my generation’s favorite artists are where they are at today.

Music wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for him!

The world continues to cope with the death of Michael Jackson, and though the King of Pop has passed away, his undying influence reigns supreme. Jackson was a worldwide phenomenon who broke race, gender, culture and age barriers, and was regarded as arguably the greatest entertainer in any genre. Celebrities and fans alike have been reaching out to pay their respects. Lola Monroe was shocked, as many were, when she posted the following on her twitter page:

“OMG!! Moment of Silence for Michael Jackson! This is crazy!”

When I first heard that Angel Lola Luv, the beautiful video vixen who graced my computer screen, tv screen, and coffee table via magazines over the last three years, was starting a rap career, I seriously had my doubts. Lola was venturing into unchartered lands for models. The rap game is a dog-eat-dog world, and being a female in the rap game is that much tougher. But as I started to hear more from her about her story, her struggle, and her inspiration, the more I could understand. In a time where stereotypes still run rampant in hip hop, Lola is out to go against all the odds, and silence the critics. WeLoveHipHop.com caught up with Lola last week for a conversation, to talk about her past, present, and very bright future.

For those that may not know, where are you from?

I was born in Ethiopia, but raised in D.C

For those that follow you on Twitter, they saw a pic of you and Soulja Boy in the studio last night, can you speak on the project you two were working on?

We were recording some material. It came with a dope record. I can’t really speak on it yet, but be on the look out for it real soon!

Making the transition from modeling to the rap game is certainly not one that is taken often. When did you know it was time to make that jump into starting your rap career?

If you go back to my previous interviews in publications, I have always said that I was going to go in this direction. I’ve been writing in some form since I was 12 years old. Music has always been apart of me, but I knew it was time to make the move when I did.

For those that may ask, why should we be checkin for Lola Monroe’s music, what would be your answer?

Theres a void in the game right now. I feel like everybody brought something diff, from Lil Kim to Foxy Brown, to MC Lyte and Queen Latifah. Everyone has their own swag, just like me. To me, it’s not just about music. I have a movement, Boss Bitch’s World, and my first mixtape represents that.

The rap game is just like any business, there are more people that envy and hate you than will show support. Among your female peers, have any reached out to show love and help you in your new career?

I recently did an interview with RealTalkNY, and MC Lyte talked to me, and definitely gave me some good advice. I’ve had some artists I was cool with before I got in the game, and once I started making moves in the music industry, they started acting funny.

Lola made another post on GlobalGrind.com. Read it below.

Regardless of the fact that I have obviously moved on to conquer a new realm as an artist; as I sit down for interviews those questions pertaining to the video vixen game will always come up. Which I can understand and respect based on the accomplishments that I achieved in the modeling game and how it has helped me in different ways. Recently I sat down with VladTV and had an interview touching on a lot of different subjects. The first part of the interview they put out on the net was the question about Superhead. Shortly after, I was asked by my folks at Global Grind to elaborate on that interview. I normally wouldn’t want to give her this much but not once did it cross my mind to say no…. how can I? (smile)

There are a lot of different reasons why I could never ride with the choices that ‘Superhead” made. I feel as though she played a major part in people really believing that all video vixens are just like her. Which is TOTALLY wrong! There is a difference between a ‘Video Vixen/Model’ and a ‘Video Hoe/Groupie.’ From the way they conduct themselves, their mentality and of course their agenda! The perceptions that people have of me and most video models are the total opposite of reality. They see things from the outside. So they have no idea about what goes on behind the scenes with the ones that do this to benefit themselves in a positive way. In order to book me for any gig or video people would get in contact with my manager. I wouldn’t meet these artists until I got on set. While on set I didn’t fraternize with the artists. I would either be shooting or waiting in the trailer until it was my time. As soon as I was done shooting I would leave. If anyone asked for my contact they would either get directed to my manager if she was nearby or I would give them her contact info. If they were really trying to do business then they wouldn’t have a problem getting in contact with her.

I never went down the same path Superhead did. I hold my head up high when I walk because I never had to sleep with anyone to get this far. So when people claim I slept with this person and that person all I can say is check my record. I get my respect in the industry because no one can say they dealt with me beyond a friendship or associate level except 1 person. Period! There are a lot of video vixens that haven’t either but because of Superhead people think other wise. There are a lot of respectable females in the video game that are taking on these jobs to get exposure so that they can take that next step to pursue their choice of careers. Whether it’s behind the scene or in the lime light. There are also females that do it so they can pay their way through school or even need the extra money on the side in order to make ends meet. So why knock the hustle based on the actions of the weak minded video groupies?

Video vixens/models are known by their work for example the video’s they were featured in usually as lead girls. If the only way people know you is by the tell all book you wrote about running through the whole industry then you are absolutely not a video vixen. By her titling that book “Diary of a Video Vixen” she totally engraved in people’s heads that this is the life of one. I probably would have had a different outlook on it if she would have had a different purpose for her book. For example if the book was written to teach younger girls that they should never make the same choices that she made. Obviously her agenda was to sell and the fact that she came back out with a part 2 proved that it is all about the money. That is another reason why I can not respect her choice. She basically put people’s homes and families on the line in exchange for cash.
