The Title .

eight people in the living room - myself , two brothers , and five of their friends, chilling. MTV Jams pounding out of the flat screen, Jay-Z's - On To The Next One going off and Wayne's - A Milli coming on.

Steven "Man I'm glad that nigga Wayne going to jail. give somebody else a chance to shine. Jay need to bring his old ass back and take the title." the rest of the idiots "Hell yea, man."

*Gwen ponders* "Technically Wayne ain't going nowhere. that nigga has so much music he's been working on that hes going to be another Pac. Niggas is going to claim he ain't in jail because he's going to be dropping videos and singles regularly. his team is going to space out what ever music he has over a period of a time to keep him relevant."

Marcus "that may be true but with Jay in the lab and Wayne in prison, Wayne wont be able to touch Jay."

sarcasm ----> "you're right! and it takes Wayne being in jail for Jay to even deliver like he might." -_-

Steven "Why you hating Gwen? Jay last album was slapping! better than that Wayne shit."

"uhmmm, Steven my dear. i think Jay said it best. *puts on Locs and brothers black cap and impersonates Jay* "men lie, women lie, numbers don't." apparently the WORLD disagrees that Wayne's album wasn't exactly 'shit."

*the idiots laugh uncomfortably* Calvin "she got you there Steve."

"I'm not saying Wayne is "The Best Rapper Alive" but hes doing what it takes to steady attract fans, sell albums, drop mix tapes, and keep himself popular. Jay although seasoned in the game only comes back when he feels he has something to say, D.O.A. , and personally that was just to talk shit. *even though he claims it was no disrespect. uhm sure 'Hov -_- *

Marcus "that's because he tight like that. he can come back and say what he wants because niggas respect him. even Wayne said that Jay is his favorite rapper so now what? not only that but Jay aint trying to go with the trends like Wayne. first that nigga wanted to be a gangsta now this nigga looking like a tatted up Lupe Fiasco."

"we aint even talking about that shit Marcus. we're talking in comparison. sure Wayne said that, but at the same time he ain't trying to be that nigga either. if you go back and listen to ole skoo Jay he was on the same hype about 'cooking that shit up' and 'the hood' but he aint talking about it anymore! he over here calling himself God, talking about his money and Oprah and Obama. people change and adapt, its how you keep it flowing. but point blank all I'm saying is you fools are saying that Jay is going to step up and just be out there but the question is, why couldn't he have did that when Wayne wasn't in jail? Wayne sure as hell didn't go anywhere when Jay came with The Blueprint III. he went toe to toe with his 'favorite rapper. if he cant stand competition then he should've stayed in retirement."

Idk what ya'll think? This was just my argument with these busters ! *cheeeeeese !*

p.s

ANOTHER post coming later ... lol

We The Best . ?

Am I the only one that can see pass his 'let's bring everybody together' act and see what Dj Khaled is really doing?

My point of view:

Dj Khaled got cool with all the black people in the industry and put them on one track. Extorting their talents while our black people are okay with the arrangement because its paying and what's going to sell records.

He says the same things every song yet the less, and gets the same amount of recognition, sometimes more. Some would argue and say well he's a dj. That's what he's suppose to do. And hey, point made but how much significance should a person hold for knowing who's hot in the industry and putting them on a track? Anybody that knows music can slap DJ in front of their name and do the same thing.

But now that i think about it, can i really be mad at him or should i be mad at my own people for not being able to come together on their own.

We Are Young Money .

Not a bad album compared to some i have heard. I didn't buy it but i took the time to listen to it thoroughly and download certain songs. Loving the beats ! My only qualm is, unless your specifically looking to hear your new favorite Young Money artist, disappointment will set in. From the cover to the album its Wayne all over the place. Sure there is like a BILLION ! people on his label but IF he would have given up one.. or FIVE ! of his verses then maybe i wouldnt have felt like i was listening to a Wayne cd with countless featured artists.

Consistent Plays :

#5 - New Shit

#8 - Fuck Da Bullshit

*Nicki went hard, Drake wasnt bad

#12 - Roger That

*Nicki again and Tyga

#13 - She Is Gone

*Gudda Gudda

#14 - Streets Watchin'

*David Banner did his thang on the beat !

and once again Nicki.

I admit everybody pretty much held their own and did their thang lyrically wise. some better than others mack maine, but that's usually what happens on a group thang, right. Nobody really made me want to run out and say "man did you here *insert name here* on the Young Money album ! no? well you need to !" I was feeling Nicki on every song she was on and Tyga, Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda, And Drake weren't disappointing either. As for the Young Money songstress Shanell, she was only on one song. You better learn to rap girl!

Woah Bro !

Lil Chuckie from Young Money looks like the character Dr. Carver that created the peanut people in Proud Family .

That's It .

One Of Them Days .

on days where its cold and rainy outside and toasty inside, i tend to do a lot of thinking and writing. i listen to a personal playlist of songs that are touching and somewhat therapeutic. i don't know about you guys but i cant always listen to them club bangers. sometimes i need the music to be just as vulnerable, emotional, and real as life can get, and today is 'One Of Them Days.'


*these are just some that i enjoy on days like this

Suffocate - J. Holiday

Unthinkable - Alicia Keys
Sunshine - Floetry

Cant Get Right - Jagged Edge

Love - Musiq

Ex Factor - Lauryn Hill

Sweet Love - Anita Baker

I Love You - Dru Hill

Doin' Just Fine - Boyz II Men

In The Morning - Jagged Edge

All The Man I Need - Whitney Houston

Where I Wanna Be - Donell Jones

If I Aint Got You - Alicia Keys

Sweetest Thing - Lauryn Hill

I Don't Wanna Hurt You - Latif

Diary - Alicia Keys

I'm Sorry, But I'm Not A Fan .

Fan:

A fan or supporter is someone who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking and enthusiasm for a sporting club, person (usually a celebrity), group of persons, company, product, activity, work of art, idea, or trend.

sorry peeps but the definition above does not describe my feelings for the new Young Money artist Drake. while he has a undeniable talent for putting his words together quite nicely he just doesn't whip me into a frenzy like most. don't take what i am saying as hating because I AM NOT but i don't run to my computer every time a new Drake song comes out to download it nor do i listen to a song strictly for his verse. i most definitely give him his props for dropping one hell of a mix tape -crowd goes crazy- and having "Thats my jam !" singles because i was no no doubt slapping it in my car, BUT until he drops a better OR equally impressive album you wont hear me saying "Drake is my favorite rapper."

( this could change in the future. )

NEW Beyonce ft Lady Gaga

woah ! what the hell was Beyonce thinking in this video ?! most artists don't have much say in the things they wear or do in their videos but Beyonce is a mega star and this was just ..smh. "speak up nigga !" i of course have read a couple hundred opinions about the performances of both Beyonce and Lady Gaga in this video and you know what, I don't give a damn because my opinion is the only one that matters. nah just kidding. YOU guys opinions too ! ( :

umm where was i going with this ? ... oh yea !

this video was awful. just garbage in my opinion. sure it had the two biggest stars in music in the same video but it just didnt do nothing for me. i didnt even want to snap my fingers to it because i was really looking at Beyonce like "what the hell are you doing ? " I'm glad to see Beyonce has got her weight back up though. for a minute she was looking as though she was going to disappear. (MTV Awards/Jay-Z The Blueprint III concert on Fuse) from the beginning i was completely lost and could easily see that the video was going to have nothing to do with the song, let alone Beyonces little "outfits." I'm not sure where they were going with the little things they were doing and playing with but it was a hot ass mess. i do like the song though. DIGG Lady Gaga but not exactly a fan of her being on the remix. shes artistic and a good artist in her own right and i applaud her effort to step outside the box. her lyrical content and vocal styling wasnt as bad as i assumed it wouldve been on a R&B track either. i have listened to the Telephone song they have out and hm, its another controversial subject of like and dislike. big ups to both ladies coming together and shaking up the scene a bit, but im just not sold.

" Can we get ANOTHER remix ! "

NEW Chris Brown - Crawl

so i came across the new CB video and of course on YouTube there is a plethora of different opinions, but since this is Blogger i am free to say what i want without all the scrutiny.

i personally think Chris did his thang and that people are being way to harsh on him by saying it was " wack " "weak " and " he needs to give it up " . i mean lets be real, if he had never did what he did to Rihanna everybody would still be hanging from his nut sac ! sure what he did wasn't cool, but people make mistakes and if they were both just regular people NOT in the spotlight it wouldn't have got the publicity it did nor would any of us had gave it a second thought. he is still a very talented artist aside from his personal choices made and the song was good. i don't think he should give it up or just quit. he is way to talented and was one of the biggest young stars in the industry before that incident with him and Rihanna took place. suddenly because he loses control and shows hes actually human and not some perfect polished plaything nobody likes him or his music ? pathetic.
