Why Jamie Foxx is the Hottest Thing In Hollywood and Hip-Hop
If there’s anything that the recently completed NBA Finals has taught
us, it’s that versatility is a vital characteristic of any champion. In
the entertainment world, no one proves this point better than Jamie
Foxx, who may very well be the hottest thing going in both Hollywood
and hip-hop. Now, I’m sure that I can think of at least ten different
reasons that all give credence to this assertion, but let’s start with
the top 3 factors contributing to Foxx’s current top dog status.
1. He Thrives On The Big Stage
When BET announced Foxx as the host of the 2009 BET Awards, the common
sentiment shared at ro headquarters was, “Well done BET … well done.”
In a masterstroke falling just shy of Maxwell’s reemergence at the
award show last year, BET placed the mic in the hands of the one man
capable of erasing the harsh memories of the D.L. Hughley hosting
debacle. Having spent the majority of his career on stage both as a
comedian and musician, Foxx not only lives for these moments … he
thrives in them.

2. His Music Is Jamming
Jamie Foxx has always integrated his love music into every aspect of
his entertainment shtick. But no one foresaw it manifesting into its
current state. Make no mistake; Foxx is huge in the musical world.
Don’t believe me; well take his single “Blame It” which has sat
comfortably at or near the top of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop
Songs chart for months. The enduring success of that song alone proves
that Foxx isn’t just making music–he’s also setting the standard
within the industry. “Blame It”
3. He Locked Lips With Halle Berry
There comes a time in every man’s life when he begins to understand his
ultimate purpose. It’s probably safe to assume that Foxx has known for
quite a while that he was called to be an entertainer. But when he
recently locked lips with Halle Berry before she at this year’s Spike
TV “Guy’s Choice Awards,” he had to view that moment as all the
confirmation he needed. It not only made myself and countless other men
jealous, but it also went a long way in cementing Foxx’s current
standing in both Hollywood and hip-hop as “that guy.”
