Go AMBER!!!

So... my lil cousin* is in Detroit competining in the Junior Olympics in Field Hockey. She is Playing for the Red team and they had their first game today. They Won 2-0!! The competition lasts from today until friday. Soo I want to wish Ms. Amber Danielle Jones Lots and Lots of Luck!! She's an incredible athelete who played Varisty Basketball, Field Hockey and Softball. She's got everything going for her and I'm really really proud of her. I wish I could see her more often.

Bust Your Windows

So today I found this song by Jazmine Sullivan. It's called Bust Your Windows. It reminds me of Ring the Alarm in some senses. You know that crazy bitch type song that all women can probably relate to. Yeahhh I know Ring the Alarm was my song after me and one of my ex's broke up. (Even though I broke up with him) But yeah I can definitely feel this song. I've definitely thought about bustin some windows or something. You know putting bolognae (sp?) on a niggas car. lol. I'd never do anything like that but I definitely thought about it. You know been on like some sneak shit. Some "NIGGA I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE" shit... Some "I'MA SLIT YOUR TIRES NIGGA" shit. But they're all thoughts. I'm too sweet to do such a thing.


But anyways to hear the song go to this site:
And once again my links aren't working. WTF?? Go to this and it'll be a zshare for the song: http://www.zshare.net/audio/1579932744a69be8/

"Why Nas Is My Favorite Rapper...(If You Even Care)"
Wed Jul-23-08 10:15 PM by FNF UP UP AND AWAY

While in the midst of listening to "It Was Written" as a teen I was completely unaware of the existence of "Illmatic"...I remember some dudes beating a song in a car that sounded like a Nas song and I asked my homey what was that and he was like "Its from Nas 1st album"...then on a trip to my sisters college I was in her boyfriends dorm room and he had a poster of the "Illmatic" cover and I was like what is that and he was like "that's Nas 1st album" and just so happened he had a copy (he also had a copy of "The Infamous" which is another story altogether...Yeah Prodigy...Mobb Deep played a big part in the evolution of Lupe)...So I puts "Illmatic" inside the CD Walkman, strap on the headphones and proceeded to have my life changed forever...It became my soundtrack for a time...all day everyday, everywhere...along with "IWW"...time passes..."The Firm" drops, memorized the damn thing and then named myself from it...time passes...one faithful day I was at my sisters house and was watching BET don't remember the exact show but probably Rap City...and who do I see sitting on the project steps in the pea-soup green flight suit (I HAD THE JACKET!!!) with the big ass QB chain then cuts to the bathroom with him rapping to himself in the mirror with Premo in the living room on the wheels of steel???...NEW NAS???...WTF???...yup "Nas Is Like"...consider that memorized, consider that instrumental copped and rocked to at the High School Talent Show..."I Am" drops...heard "Hate Me Now" on WGCI that same night asked Pops (R.I.P.) to take me to Circuit City where I copped the King Tut covered imperfect masterpiece and first heard the odd line that still sticks with me to this day... "Heard Her Body Guard Took Snook To God" - "Small World"...go figure...I love that line...live with it....memorize it...life soundtrack status...but there were songs that just seemed like filler...hmmm...in the booklet there is a picture of the next album..."Nastradamus"...and I patiently begin to wait...time passes...some how, some way a copy of the bootleg of "Nastradamus" gets into my possession and it is a classic..."Belly Button Window" "Poppa Was A Playa" the original "Project Windows" yup...yet another life soundtrack...(I kept it for a long time and eventually gave it to Stacks Bundles (R.I.P.) and he took it back to NY with him and I never saw it again...I was heartbroken)...when the official version of "Nastradamus" dropped I was super excited when the lead off joint "Life We Chose" blazed though the speakers of my little stereo..."Come Get Me" was ridiculous and a few others but it wasn't sticking like the other albums and some of the heatrocks that were on the bootleg weren't on the official version...it didn't have the life soundtrack effect like the other albums...its wasn't great...I didn't feel it as much..Damn!!! OH NO!!! Was Nas Falling Off?!???!!!???...Damn....I started to question...then something magical happened...The Beef With The BIg Homey!!!!...OHHHH SHHHIIIITTT...I was front row...Jay had just finished "Takeover" and we were some of the first to hear it at Bassline and it was murderous...I was like its over...Nas is finished...Yeah I counted him out...I was like he cant come back from that...I remember the only person in my circle that had faith in Nas was Stacks' Uncle...and he was like watch...just watch...and sho nuff...a little while later back in Chicago...one night our cell phones exploded with 212, 718, 347 & 646 area codes...New York was on fire!!!...The "Ether" dropped...and Jesus was it a comeback!!!...then one word reigned supreme "STILLMATIC"...with the strings crying and the words "Blood Of A Slave, Heart Of A King" resonating in the X5...YUP!!!...Nas was back!!!...I swayed from the flock but now I was back with a vengeance..."Rewind" "2nd Childhood" "Rule" and the crown jewel "What Goes Around"...soundtrack to my life stuff...then another chink in the armor..."God's Son"...I honestly didn't like it...coming after "Stillmatic" I was like damn...what happened?...(R.I.P. Mrs. Jones...thanx for giving us a light in the darkness via your son)...I take it on the chin with the knowledge now to never count out Mr. Jones...and he does not let down...he roars back with the double whammy "Street's Disciple"..."U.B.R. The Unauthorized Biography Of Rakim" is all that I needed to be more than impressed...FUCK!!!...excuse my french...then comes the statement that pissed off hip-hop and sent niggaz back to the stu to prove him wrong "Hip-Hop Is Dead"...it had a few...wasn't glorious...wasn't really moving...but good...damn Nas...I started to question again...I started to doubt..."NIGGER" (yeah I still call it Nigger...Fuck the press!!!)...really???...this nigga is naming his new shit "Nigger"???...hmmm...interesting...publicity stunt?...of course it is...did it work?...hell yeah!...people were pissed...it was great publicity wise...but the music, the message...would it be that "soundtrack to life", thought provoking, undeniably revolutionary, conceptually impeccable, stunning, invigorating, inspiring, down right send-you-back-to-the-drawing-board quality PIFF!!! that N-A-S is capable of ????????????..................I avoided buying it...I avoided watching the videos online....I avoided downloading any of the leaked music...I was scared...I put it out of my mind...I refused to participate.......I was afraid it wouldn't be............until today...............and the answer to the longwinded question is......











Yeah Nigguh!!!!


DAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

"NIGGER" (Yeah I'm Still Calling It NIGGER) is a masterpiece!!!!....

NAS is spitting like a demon....first time I experienced multiple "wheel-it-backs" a mere 20 seconds into a song in a longtime....

through the up's and the down's N-A-S still holds the crown...well to me anyway...

New Gnarls Barkley

Interesting...

Talib Kweli Documentary Coming Soon???

I was fortunate to get to see Talib last year in phillt FOR FREE! It was an amazing outdoor concert in the street. He's a great performer.

My New Addictions

Sooo these are my new addicitons:
First is Cravin' Trail Mix

I saw this lil trail mix at rite aid last week. I think it might have been on sale or something. IT IS ABSOLUTLY AMAZING! Plus it's cute with spongebob all on the cover and what not. It has pineapples, peanuts, raisins, banana chips, and yogurt drops. Perfect for between meals. It goes great with my 99 cent Hi-C or Hawaiian punch juice boxes. I think I'm going to try the Cravin' Raisins next. They have Dora the Explorer. If I had kids they'd be eating this stuff!

okay my next new obsession is The 10! Show

It's like the Today show but more local. They have chefs from restaurants in philly ocme on the show and cook. They give makeovers. (Little ones) And just sort of report lots of things that have to do with Philadelphia and the surrounding show. I see a big future for the 10! Show. These people seem more real to me than Katie Couric or Anne Curry or Even Natalie Moralas. (I watch the Today show btw) Al Rucker is my man!! Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince is on the show today... Look out for the 10! Show!!

Murs & 9th Wonder Sweet Lord

Murs & 9th Wonder dropped this free album on wednesday. I downloaded it from illvibes but I never really listened to it. I listened to it today and it was actually good. I had heard Nina Ross last week or something... that track is pretty good. And he talks about how he met chick in philly at the MarBar. I was like HEYY!! I know what that is. But i've never been in because it's 21 and up. Murs is great artist who gives you more than what is on the radio. Murs for President comes out in September it seems like it should be a good album.

Download Here:

the hyperlink is acting all brand new so put this in your browser and the file should pop up for download. http://www.mursand9thwonder.com/9thWonderMursSweetLord.zip

I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5. There's only ten tracks btw

Nas Protest Fox News

What a man...
This is why NAS IS BETTER THAN JAY!

March 27th

This girl was on th 10! show today talking about journalizing. And she said some quote that was like Anything that you do that is worthwhile you are scared to do in the begining. Now that wasn't the quote exactly but you get my drift.


Keri Hilson- Energy


Rihanna- Disturbia

Untitled

So... today it seemed like my ipod was playing with my emotions.

This is How I feel:
But let's not stray from what I came to say
To my beloved, think we need some time away
They say if you love it, you should let it out its cage
And fuck it, if it comes back you know it's there to stay
It's tugging, at my heart, but this time apart is needed
- Jay-Z Dear Summer

I wrote that quote in my other blog a couple months ago. But it's kinda messing with my head cuz just because it comes back does it really mean it's there to stay?? I mean what if you don't even want it anymore? What if you want it but you know that you shouldn't because of point A and point B?

WASP's

Found this on lupefiasco-lupend.com:

"Obama is my slave" T-shirt?!?! Really now?!?! And the fact that the designer seems to be Jewish makes it even more ridiculous.


Designer with the shirt on


The designer claims that he's not expressing his views, but rather appealing to those of "ordinary WASPs" (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant). Apparently, the designer also thinks Obama reminds him of Hitler (!?!?) and has even designed shirts with such expressions as "Jews Against Obama" and "Obama = Hitler."

It's going to be terrible. I'm really going to pray for Obama because people out here are sick.

Everyone Nose Remix Vid in the Making???

It speaks for itself.

Sooo... Instead of doing homework I am looking for new music and I stumble upon J*Davey. I've heard of her before but never heard any of her music. She kind of reminds me of Kelis and Janelle Monae...
I'm downloading her CD The Beauty in Distortion as we speak. (I would buy it on itunes but i don't know how much money I have on my credit card.) Maybe I'll pick it up from FYE if it's good.
check out her myspace:

Some Recent News

First:
Jesse Jackson made some crude statements on Barack Obama. Is he jealous? Or is there some truth behind his statements.


I wonder what the context really was... Either way I'm voting for Barack.

Second:

Erykah badu is pregnant with her 3rd child. Who's the father?? Jay Electronica. That's good for her...
Here is a part of her response to some haters who are basically calling her a hoe:

“I PUT MUCH TIME AND THOUGHT INTO HAVING AND RAISING MY CHILDREN.IVE HAD THE HONORS OF HAVING 2 HOME BIRTHS AND 2 WONDERFUL PARTNERS BY MY SIDE.every relationship i have been in was because i loved the person DEARLY and was dedicated to us "exclusively" FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.the fathers of my children are my brothers and friends .we have a great deal of respect for one another and always will.WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN TO NO END.we took our own "vows" and CONTINUE TO UPHOLD THEM.AND THAT IS WHAT THAT IS .question?WHAT IS MARRIAGE ?WHO IS THE JUDGE?”

Ummm... more to come
