I wonder...
Then again
People beak apart for a reason.
Someone is in ones past for a reason and although I personally don't believe its fair to keep them there so concretely, It is what it is. I dig this song immensely I don't even watch music videos like that, why? Iunno at a certain point and time they became all the same so I refrained from watchin em.
I just stumbled onto this one and I was cracking up. Say what you will about 50 but his sense of humor is crzy. Apparently his album ain't (isn't) doing too well. Although I feel that he has nothing more to say when it comes to music I feel that he will still find success. He just need to prioritize. Movies will be a good start. I just wish the nigga (more) success...that's all...
(not wholeheartedly i mean its not like he knows i exist so .... half of me is really like fuck the dude but he a character out there and I can't help but react to him existing so why not react)
Ill video Tamala Jones needs to go on the list <--- ohhh wait...i redid the page she gonna be over there ---> ; ^
put them arrows together lol
Happy Belated thanxgiving
a few of the things im thankful for...well one and more than ever its:
I'm very thankful for my fam right now cause they've been the most supportive they have ever been. I mean they have always supported me but that was in better times. Of course nothing is really wrong but they just push me and back me and look out for me and It's evident and clear when thanxgiving rolled around. I cant really think of anything besides health I would be thankful for. Family believed in me during this year of confusion and dissappointment. Things are looking up though cause i got a good score on the GRE's and im counting eggs before they hatch so hopefully im granted luck and I can get into gradschool this fall. Lemme stop i need to hit these applications first but iunno shits just looking UP for once instead of.. u know....middle lol. Progression is a state in which I am most comfortable and I haven't seen it all year since i graduated; but that was a January blog post soo.....
As we continue on:
J*davey my newest addition to my wall of Dimes <--- got some pipes on her. Her partner in crime Beau (the producer) I think his name is produces ear candy at a consistent pace. Not to go all IllRoots/2DopeBoys on you but check out their work for yourself: Beauty in the Distortion/ Land of the Lost.
I finally saw season 3 of the game and "Girl Melanie" is annoying as FUUUUUCK. She stay crying, and how come Derwin gave her that small ass ring for? rookie contracts man..
Ohh yeah i gots my belated Bday gift of a flatscreen TV yesterday (Black Friday) thats all i copped though..
PZ
Iite now this is waaay overdue
But
now more than ever.... I notice y'all ===>
Followers, fans, people who read blogs who's stop by once in a while....I see y'all.
As much as I've tried to ignore the fact that people do read my shit the list has kept growing and I've even had interactions with some (2) of y'all. Whether it's with y'all commenting on mine and vice versa the relationship is established and I can't ignore it... Shit I like it! Yeah I'm not self analyzing myself as much as I have been in the beginning so in a way the blog has become alot less serious and a smidge less personal (a smidge) but I like where it's at...fuck..thats where im at in my life. Im on my facepaint/why so serious flow and it comes out when i write and otherwise. It's a nice combo, a bit Less woe is me and Alot more random. So it evens out...in many ...different..ways... with a remainder.
I'm gonna admit the thought of people reading what I thought ..I digress...what I really thought scared me. By my 10th follower i wanted to go private and i even thought it messed up my writing (as if I was Huck Finn or sum shit lol) I held back a little and i didn't want to be a prisoner of those eyes. Whether they actually read or not..the threat was enough to send me underground. Specially since at one point the theme of this blog /journal/self psych notes was my damn messed up self and my spotted past. Shit in some ways the blog fixed me. Cuz like I said some things look different when they are written down and it changes your perspective on the subject helpin me see myself in another light. Bringing that light onto the world yeah on some corny shit lol but yeah.
Anyway in my year and change in the blogosphere Ive seen many an "ode to the followers" so this is such a post.
Uhh
Goodlookinout
Now as we continue on....
damn this chick Teedra Moses can blow. IN other news i think im starting to journey into the realm of neo soul. The music is so distinct...very earthy lol its the only word i can think of to describe the sound of the music ive heard so far [alot of Raph Saadiq, D'angelo's Brown Suga, lil bit of Joss Stone] The vocals are as genuine and as filled with talent as ive heard. Right now I'm listening to Raphael Saadiq's "As Ray Ray" album and i think ima branch out to this Teedra chick lemme see what she looks like. This will have no affect on whether ima listen to her or not.
whoa
Keri who???
yesss maaa'am
She has my FULL attention. someones going on the wall <+====== anyone know of any other neo soul acts i should fuck wit, put me on! PZ
Sent from my iPod ohh and a bit more randomness.. i loved this fuckin movie as a youngin, this was my fav part lol...
Its Official!
After years and y
ears of resistance, choosing alternatives and straight up rejecting.
I have now joined the millions {and millions} of ipod heads and got me an IPod Touch. I've wanted something like an Ipod touch for a while now probably ever since the first version came out.
Ive been close to gettin it a couple of times but i wasnt working and the whole Itunes thing confused me, shit it still does. My brother has the original Zune and if he downloads an album on his comp, puts it on his Zune then deletes the song off his computer the next time he plugs his zune into his comp that album is deleted off his Zune. That shit is wack as shit to me. We brought your shit dont fuck with the music we choose to put on our devicce. I hope Itunes is not like that but I definitely would not be suprised. Ive heard many a problem about it so far so i just chose an evil with the most apps i guess. Fuck it.
I wanted a Zune HD. Since ive been holding out on getting an Itouch for a minute in came the zune which came out on the 15th and i was about to get that but its too young. Theres only 7 apps for it now and although i want a new music player i like that the itouch has more features. All they need now is a camera and i'll be tight as fuck if they add it next year. (damn now im subjected to the neverending updates and new i touches every year).
My whole mode has been to go to the left while everybody goes right and to look good and on top while doing it. I've tried that with my last MP3 (creative zen vision M) but it didnt work out, although it is a durable ass piece of work. Ima use it for the gym from now on. This will be the most notable conformation ive made since ...well since joining myspace... i think lol whatever im pretty sure it will be tight though so im not complaining, yet.
Any way... in other news...
Lynwood Rose- Raphael Saadiq, Qtip & D'angelo.
I havent listened to it yet since my wireless is currently ass cheeks but 2/3 of the artists ive listed above are known for putting in work so ima give that a nice listen and hopefully i agree with it.
Pz
Vodka and Rum
Alright I don't do this often but music is a very "instrumental" part of my life and i feel that there is a lack of musical posts in my shit. Its not like its totally my fault though ( I type as some asshat blasts Gucci Mane out his car while rolling down my street) hmmm maybe its due to lack of inspiration =)
Anyway this Mixtape right here
Fire; nothing new in terms of lyrical content cause most of the songs are basically taken from other popular cuts from back in the day and even recently (hence "saturday night fever"- wyclef+ kanye verse from "american boy" over a crazy ass beat). The beats are tight as fuck! The most notable thing in my eyes is the unlikely tandem of a Jamaican and a Russian making music of all things...i can see them makin a killa drink though.
From Russia to Jamaica. The much talked-about new hip-hop duo Fly Gypsy made its first splash in late 2008...Founded by the Russian-born producer and songwriter Alexei Jendayi and the Jamaican-born emcee Komplex (aka Kowboy Kom), Fly Gypsy became an instant favorite among fans thanks to its infectious beats, catchy hooks, satirical concepts, and polished image. Music critics, meanwhile, have praised the Washington, D.C.-based duo for attaining broad commercial appeal without compromising its musicianship or its message, frequently comparing the duo to the Fugees, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. SOURCE: Jango
Not bad company to be compared to...
Speaking of Jamaican i had my first Jamaican not too long ago; I've always wanted to fuck a Jamaican chick but it just never happened, i should have made it a mission but... well actually not really. It was tight as fucc though. "The way she backed it up on me baby oww have mercy" I didn't get head from her though cuz if i did I wouldn't use a condom and then i'd have to wonder and stress. I've always seen Jamaican broads as OD passionate (inverse: Loud) and strong (inverse: B*tchy). They have some of the strongest personalities in the Caribbean. Good thing and bad thing cuz they can get you into some shit. One of my folk back home in Brooklyn would have to fight a sibling or a friend every fucking time he got with a Yardie-American Chick and ima admit it turned me off to them at an early age.
Anyway goin back to the Yardie/Ruski Collaboration thing thats wassup cause I dont see things like that anymore. I see for the most part that we are basically still segregated, its just that this time its not an actual motive it just happens. Black people become involved in "black" things (tyler perry, mediatakeout, college hill, real houswives of wherever) and white people do their "white" thing (mayonaise, Paris Hilton, The Hills, Perez Hilton). Most of us hang out with people with the skin color as us and we don't give other people the same chance due to misunderstandings, ignorance, fear or whatever. Lookin back at my life i was never in that type of box; ive fucked with white people, Latin folk, Asians and of course people Black folk. I'm open like that and i guess i have they type of personality that can relate me to all those groups. Shit, back in college some of my boys would marvel at the simple fact that white girls can talk to me and vice versa. And i'd be shocked at their reactions because to me its not really a big thing; they human just like us and besides one would be shocked as to how much we have in common. It sure as fuck shocked me I lived in a house with 7 other white people and i was listening to hip hop blast throughout the house all the time!
We as humans have made strides toward race relations and intermingling to the point where seeing an interracial couple is almost common place. Yet even forming the simplest of relationships is as hard as GRE geometry; Imagine the music we can make together if we try.
Damn that last line was corny as FUCK
