"You Can't Be Afraid To Fail. Its The Only Way To Succeed. Your Not Gonna Succeed All The Time. You Have To Be Able To Accept Failure, To Get Better." I watched the "60 Minutes" segment with LeBron and when he said that I couldn't believe that he had to get that from somewhere. That was some thought provoking stuff especially coming from LeBron not tryna say that he's dumb because he definitely is not. All I know this quote is a quote that I will always carry in my mind for the rest of my life. I just want to thank LeBron for that REAL TALK!!!
Love vs Young Money... Oops you see Nivea what you done made me do!! LOL Im sorry but I couldn't hold that one back. I was on my way to work and I finally got away from the Drake So Far Gone Mixtape and decided to listen to The Dream Album and I must "LAAWWWDDD this Child is talented!!!" Its a very good sophmore album to say the least. I know you all heard the singles he got out so i wont even comment on those but I think everybody already knows what happens when Rockin That Thang comes on in the clubs or even on the radio. lol My Favorite track on there is "Kelly's 12 Play", some other tracks that are really good is "Love vs Money"(Is it me or was that song influence on the whole Nivea-Wayne situation) the lyrics were powerful and I could feel dude's pain on losing his everything to an "alien"!!(That Rhyme too!!) Another Certified Banger is "Put It Down" that track go hard. OOoo"Fancy" is a smooth track too. "Sweat it Out" is a R. Kelly type track too. The ladies are gonna love this album even though, most females find The Dream unattractive.(What?? Im keeping it G) Regardless if The Dream keep pumping out good music he gone be good with the ladies. Not trying to compare The Dream to R Kelly but Kelly went thru mad shit and I think regardless of all that if Bump N Grind come on the ladies go crazy!!!!!
UPDATE**: Two more tracks that I really can't leave off this review is "Right Side of My Brain"and "Mr Yeah". Ooo in the beginning of Right Side.. the voice saying Dooo Goo Doo is sooo tough, that track is a problem.
Sidebar: Check this video of The Dream in the studio:
They coming to St John's University on April 24th and i really can't wait. I really hope Ye can make a guest appearance and they could perform as "CRS" and perform they track Us Placers, that would be dope. I know I express how big of a fan I am of Lupe's, and XOXO Hadi is in love with Pharell, so imma bring a First Aid Kit with me just in case she collapse.
I made my way over to Kanye's blog like i usually do and he posted a link http://www.najle.com/idaft/ I must say this is so dope and addicting. Daft Punk really got the Hov treatment LOL. They made it a hot line, but Ye made it a hot song. Im really bout to go listen to Graduation now.
Sidebar: I really went and bought 2 Copies of Graduation and I still have the one that i never took out of the rapper. Just in case the RIAA cracks down and shuts down all illegal downloading by the time I have kids lol. Man I wonder what will we be listening to 30 years from, I don't think iPod gonna still be Hot in 30 years. Real Talk im not even gonna sleep on Apple though.
The issue hit stands almost a year a ago, April 2008. I know Im pretty late but, better late than never l0l. I finally got a chance to read the issue I never knew existed, Errykah Badu blessed the cover of Essence and spoke of past loves, her new life, & motherhood.She touches base on all the talk about her turning a guys into hippies, she explained that the guys that she's dated already had the hippie in them. She continued on saying, "When I met André, he had a head wrap on. And we swapped incense.Common was already eclectic in his rhyming and choice of hats and clothing (Essence)." There is a point when Badu recalls an encounter with Raphael Saadiq and goes on to explain how he would not look at her.She said not long a friend pulled her aside and said,"Girl, Raphael heard that you ain’t supposed to look Erykah Badu directly in the eye (Essence)." Word has it that Ms. Badu's honey eyes are the key to any man's heart, if she's willing to take 'em. When speaking about her children and her relationships with their fathers she says, " I’m a real good mother. And I make sure that the fathers are active. The queendom is in Dallas. Various times in the year, everybody’s there at once, and we all get along(Essence)."I loved every minute of reading this article ♥
The group is called The Lonely Island and they know the formula for a hit record...Put T Pain on it. LOL You may have seen the 3(Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) on the funny movie, Hot Rod, and now they write and star for "Saturday Night Live". Now this talented trio are doing Comedic Hip Hop and I really found this video funny. The Group is signed to Universal and they have an album out Incredibad. I rather a DVD version so i can laugh at every video for each track. Google "The Lonely Island" for more funny videos.
University of Florida has engraved the speech that Tim Tebow gave after a 1pt loss to Ole Miss. I have to say this was one of the most motivational speech i ever heard from a college athlete, some pro can't even come up with something so creative and uplifting. Im not gonna front Tim Tebow had me wanting to put the pads on and go tackle somebody. I bet after that speech if he was to tell his team to go ou tand play Mississippi i guarantee ya they all woulda ran out there ready to kill Ole Miss. LOL Regardless I still don't think Florida would have beaten USC if they woulda played for the National Championship. Check out the Speech for those who don't know what im talking about.
I really don't know if im copping this album, the Na Na Na track was not hot to me. The Hook was catchy but Jimmy first single of his albums usually speak volumes on the whole project. For example, On My Way To Church had singles like: Certified Gangstas and Crunk Musik; Harlem: Diary of a Summer(My Fav. Capo Album) had singles like Baby Girl, Summer With Miami, and What You Been Drinkin On; Hustler's P.O.M.E. had singles like We Fly High, and Emotionless. Get my point??? Compare Na NA NA NA track to any of those singles, they don't compare. Ever since the Max B rift, Capo has not been raising the bar anymore, it makes you wonder if Max was really writing for Capo. Because Max B music is way better than Capo's right now in the rap game. SO i ask anybody who cop the album to hit me and tell me how it is.
Sidebar: I can't believe he put Pop Champagne on the album, its clearly Ron Brows's track. lol
They finally have an official video for my song. This track goes go dumb hard. I put it on my myspace and everything but i really dont be on myspace like that anymore. But anyway check the video out. Ya already know how I feel about Keri Hilson too. MMMMhhmmmmm!!!
My boy Mike showed me this video on NikeTalk and i couldn't believe what i was watching. Talk about a point not made at all in this commercial. There is no scent in the world that i could smell that would make me lick the underarm of a female. I wouldn't ever get that close to some pits that are that hairy as well, that is not cute lol.. Tell me what were your first impression of the video.
My last post reminded me of when me and the fellas was watching clips of mike tyson and found this video. This video had us crying for days. Mike Tyson was dead serious in this interview. Be advise this is some very Funny Material. Check it out and tell me what you think.
If people went out to see Biggie's story in the theaters the same crowd has got to go see this movie. I grew up on Mike Tyson, I still remember where I was when he lost his first fight to Holyfield. This trailer looks interesting and i wouldn't mind finding out what was going thru Mike's mind in certain times in his life.
Sidebar: I can't take anybody serious with a lisp like Mike. I seen him drop grown men and I still laugh when i hear him talk.
Whenever I am watching a basketball game with the fellas and my brother this is all we do. We got the DVR in my room and we just rewind and just take turns going in on whoever we see. This really make me want to get my own youtube channel and start recording whenever we do this in the future. These guys did a really good job, they did the clap when Pau comes over to piece Kobe up after the first free throw went in. It really looks like the players are really saying it too.
These right here are more of my type of green i wouldn't mind on my feet. Since these are about to drop 'Ye prolly got mad exclusive colors in the closet, that he going to unleash on tour or whenever he feel like. I got soo much things that I wouldn't mind having in my possession and these kicks are Top 5 on my list. Nicekicks made a breakdown of the whole Sneaker check the pic below.
My roommate Mike told me that these drop today and I wasn't feeling them like that to even purchase them but i checked on Ebay and these kicks going for a couple G's(G =$1,000), Hypebeast of the world are going crazy for these if the prices are that high. I couldn't believe it and Mike told me somebody won a free pair at the House of Hoops. It makes me wonder who is really gonna rock these kicks with some jeans??? Especially if your feet is big you are going to look like you got Alien feet.
On my way to work on Saturday, i couldn't stop listening to this Mixtape. Its so official better yet a referee with a whistle.(a la Snoop Dogg LOL) Seriously i love mistapes that give you an album feel. I felt the same way when i listen to Lupe Fiasco Mixtapes like all 3 parts of "Fahrenheit 1st /15th" and the "Mick Boogie X Lupe Fiasco It Was Written Mixtape", and Wale's "Mixtape About Nothing". Back to Drake though, forreal its too many good songs on that mixtape. Im put it out there and say I like every track on the mixtape, just go get and listen to it. I was on the train and it came to the end and i was thinking like what album should i play next then my brain was just "Nah Chill put that Drake back on"
So You know what that means right?? The NBA gonna bust out those dope commercials to promote the playoffs. I seen the D Wade one today, but i couldn't find it on the tube so i posted "the MVP runner up" LeBron James commercial. LOL I really be stating D Wade case for MVP to everybody that think he not. Im tired of hearing the best player on the best team in the equation real talk. But imma cut it off right there and leave that for another day. Maybe the day after the MVP is officially announced. LOL Check the clip out:
My homegirl Saph was out there for like 20 hours for her audition tryna get her model on because she is under 5'7 and I think its messed up how things went down. According to the New York Post, Tyra made a new rule allowing females under 5'7 to try out for the America's Next Top Model. So after hours of waiting i guess people were tryna cut the number of people waiting by acting as if a car was about to blow up and saying somebody had a gun. Its tactics i have used before when i use to do the Black Friday Holiday at Best Buy. Pretty Much a riot broke out and ended the auditions. Six people were injured, my homie Saph was aight tho. Stop by her page and say something nice and inspiring to her. Her youtube is www.youtube.com/SaphiaC
I was walking with Hadi in Soho the other day and i seen a dude still tryna sell a Yes we Can Obama T Shirt, im like Forreal Dawg??? People still tryna make a dollar off of Barack but now i was over at the Think Movement and i seen this. This is really crazy. To put the man's face and to depicted him as a saint is ridiculous. People will do anything to make some money. People will do anything in this crazy world.
This is a nice remix to Amazing by the new couple of The Dream & Christina Millian. Video go hard, anything with Jordan cooking on cats in slow me definitely gets a thumbs up from me. LOL
Song is by Melanie Fiona she has a very nice voice. I heard this JAM on the radio and it caught my ear. I had the same feeling when i first heard Amy Winehouse. The beat is sampled from The Zombies - "Time of the Season" and she ripped this track. I hope to hear more from her. If you don't know anything about Melanie well here is a lil summary about who she is taken from a interview by Kevin Nottingham The question was Who is Melanie Fiona?? Melanie:I am a singer/songwriter signed to Titlenine/Src Universal Motown. I’m from Toronto Canada, but was raised very West Indian; my family is from Guyana. Music has always been in my life, both of my parents had great appreciation for music.
Big Booty is no longer in ladies, im sorry so save that money you were going to spend to get those booty implants and do something productive with it. Everyday another video chick is showing off they huge ass. The only thing you getting out of me is a dance at the club. Real Talk!! Like females is taking it to the extreme and im getting sick to my stomach. Ladies if you do ya measurements and that last number is anything past 40 just go do pornos. Don't get me wrong i like big butts, but butts that fit your whole image. I see these video chicks and they got like a 20 inch waist with 46 hips and that ish look weird. Please tell me what are these type of ladies gonna do when they become old and in Nursing homes with the Nursing Home one piece on. But if thats the way they gonna get they money with all these music videos then i cant hate on the playa. If ya want to see the video that made me say enough is enough here it is:
Sidebar: I don't know whether the camera man really didn't want no parts of what shorty had to say or it was my speakers wasnt working which is why theres no sound. I doubt anybody clicking the video cares of what she got to say either.
Its official, i don't know what it is about Keri but im in love and this song don't make it any better for me. She really makes good music and she is fly. I can't really explain it but with what happen to Rihanna, Keri Hilson is about to fill that void. Go out and support her album which drop MArch 24th.
Sidebar- i was watching Harlem Heights and Ol girl on the show who dated Kanye in the past, i was just saying that Ol girl was like a poor man's Keri Hilson. Looks like kanYe went for the pot of gold in this video!!!LOL
Its 2009, and everybody need to wake up and start giving Joe Buddens the props he deserves. Please go out and cop "Padded Room" its a must listen. If you like real Hip Hop this is the prescription DR. B is prescribing to those who have fallen sickness to the evils of non Hip Hop. Check this Track out my homey Rooks put me on to this.
Hands down one of the best drug documentary i ever seen. Its showing on showtime channel. I promise it will not dissappoint you if you like Scarface type movies then you will love this movie. CHeck it out and tell me what you think about it.
T.I. will start his prison sentence on March 27, 2009. T.I will spend a year and one day behind bars after pleading guilty to possession of unregistered weapons. So since T.I. going to jail do ya think "T.I.P." should hold it down for T.I. while he do his bid?? LOL That had to be the funniest ish when he was really tryna act like 2 different people.
Sidebar I def seen glasses like those in Soho a while back and i def wasnt feeling them cuz of the two dots on the frame.
Sidebar #2 PaperTrail is a certified classic and i really don't want to debate about that album either.
In “The NOTORIOUS BIG Tribute” Cookin’ Soul flip the original samples used in Biggie’s classic albums “Ready to Die” and “Life After Death” into new beats and feature original appearances from a whole range of well known artists paying their respects doing what they do best, in a celebration of the late great rapper musical legacy. Check it out sounds official.
Keri keeps it going with these hit records. She got Ne-Yo and Kanye West on the track for the track entitled "Knock You Down". Tell me what you think??
In the red corner we have Keri Hilson who is a songwriter turn singer who has the #1 song out and in the blue corner we have Ciara a veteran in the game, dancer/singer who is trying to get her album off the shelves. Battling it out for the top spot in Georgia. It looks like Keri is not looking to go down either. She spit some hot bars in this remix and it looks as if she is throwing shots towards Ciara way.
Check it out the remix is FIRRREEE!!!!! [CLICK HERE]
