CurT@!n$ – #Killer Tape (Mixtape)...My Views

2010-12-27T20:10:00.003-05:00

Sos' checking in. This is def one of my enjoyable mixtapes to listen to of the year. The Baron Boys were supposed to be on this one but they will be on the next one for sure. CurT@!n$ is def back on his shit and you can just tell by how he is spitting. I mean he never left but on these songs you could tell he had something to get off his chest whether it was niggas talking bout clothing, politics, real life shit or females. His substance sorta reminds me of Illi (www.TheBoyIllinois.com) because they both are young "fly" niggas with substance.

This is not jean shorts with construction timbs music...this is fly shit lmao

Songs like this would make me a fan though and that feature he did on the new Waka & Roscoe Dash - No Hands joint he did.

He ruined it cutting this off at 1:54 though & changing it up. Hope he releases that full version.

THIS song got the most plays from me this summer hands down. Next was "Like This" by The Boy Illinois. This song knocks so hard and was the perfect first single for Nipsey to come out with. I have not met one person who doesn't fuck with Nipsey. Even the females love him. He reminds me of a young Snoop Dog when he came out (even looks like him a little). This song will continue to get play wherever i go. Has that fresh feeling sound to it and he got the best dude doing R&B right now on it.

Little information is known about the new project, however, it’s said to full of collaborations of long-times with whom Marsha has worked with in the past.

"My Nickname in the A - Strapped Up Shawteh"

2010-07-28T12:50:00.005-04:00

Just another episode. Here's an update of what went down later in the week when Blink, Illi and Sosa were in the A. So when Blink and Illi got here, everybody was excited and ready to go! We had the studio booked and were anxious to get there and start working. Unfortunately, as usual Atlanta traffic was a bitch that day, so we were bout 30 minutes late for the session. But the studio session was great. I think we got two songs recorded for Illi that day (one Intro track for Inhale prt. 3 and another track for the mixtape titled "Red I"). It felt good being in the studio being creative and feeling the vibe. We had Damon L. Thomas, an established Director/Editor/Photographer, come through and take photos of the creative process. I wasn't feeling the 2nd day session because somehow the Atlanta heat got inside the studio and drained everyone's energy. Niggas was napping and falling out left and right. I think it was a point where it was just me, Illi and the engineer still awake. But all in all, that weekend was a great weekend - maybe the funnest week of my summer. Round two is going down soon. Everyone's coming back and we're bout to be back at it. Don't know if I'll write an update about it though...real spit.

"I Slick Want No Parts of That"

2010-07-15T15:33:00.002-04:00

The last few months have been fun (for a lack of a better term), but lowkey outta hand ever since early June up until last night. Sosa (@SosaCasanova) came down from up north and has been here for a couple nights now. Haven't kicked it with my nig since last fall when he came down for Morehouse/Spellman homecoming, which was on point, by the way... but fast forward to Tuesday night (7.13.10) when we scooped him from the airport. I was with one of my homies Jay, who's back in town for now, but he attends FAMU and is in the Marching 100... Just like everybody, before actually meeting my manager, Jay thought Sosa was gon be bout 40 years old, but was surprised to see a young nigga lol

First night we just went out to eat with my peoples - one of which was Jay, and then my other dude George (@ifollowme) I went to high school with, originally from Nigeria. They had Sos dyin with the shit they were saying. George always saying off the wall shit, and Jay's life is comedy... no offense, g. I go through this daily. And then Wednesday night (7.14.10), we linked up with my dude Wes (@wesg35), and all we had was time, liquor and bud. Sosa looked out with all the supplies... I shoulda known we were bout to OD. And that, we did. No way in the world I ever wanna be that geeked up (for no reason) again. I hardly remember much, but I do recall Wes going deaf and damn near unresponsive (but with eyes open) when we were tryina drop him back at his crib lmao. I got home and fell out with my contacts in and I could hardly open them this morning. Got about 4-5 hours of sleep, but I had to come into work with this lightweight hangover, feeling heavy-headed but light on my feet... and for some reason, I'm functioning too efficiently at work right now. I get off at 4 then no telling what the move is later.

Soon to come on Friday, Illi (@TheBoyIllinois), Blink (@Blink), and Tre (@3tre) are comin down from Chicago. This means heavy studio time for the weekend. Thus far, this has already been if not the most, then one of my most eventful summers, and I don't even fuck with summers like that. More to come

You can expect various song and video releases from me until these projects drop. I want to thank everybody that’s been showing their support and sticking with me.

Sosa The Casanova Advice: Girl Coming Over

2010-07-07T17:09:00.003-04:00

This is a blogpost for yall dudes who wonder why shortie might of not smashed for the night or wanted to stay over at all. That dirty ass bathroom of yours. After living on my own for about 4 to 5 years its really only right to clean up your crib. I plan to move in with a girl this time next year (that's another story) so im glad i picked all this shit up now. It reflects you as a person and i dont care how lazy you are. Me and my mans take care of our bathroom like clockwork.

As far as females? Dudes really think the girl is taking long because she took a number 2 as SOON as she came over to visit LOL. You idiot she asked to use your bathroom right away to:

a.) check herself to make sure she looks on point for you (ie. makeup etc)
b.) check to see if you take care and clean yourself
c.) check your shower and make sure its no rings of saturn around that bitch.
d.) wipe yourself and have bathroom tissues stocked.
e.) pick her nose and wash her hands & ultimately take a piss (which i doubt)

I dont care if you wash with sanitizer and the finest of Italian Soaps. If your area is dirty that means you are. That's like eating a gourmet meal where there is shit all over the place.

Personally, I think Janelle should have stuck to singing in her verse. Her rap was alright, but it didn't feel natural at all. I like Janelle; she can move too. And like the homie Flozstello (@ImFlozstello) be saying, Janelle need to stop playin'!

COOP: Creative Frustrations

2010-06-28T14:49:00.002-04:00

I've been thinking about my creative process and my creative state of mind lately, and I've been bothered by both... it's weird to say this because, initially, one would think both could be easily manipulated and changed, but in actuality, to take charge of one's creativity is a far-fetched task for some people. As for me, my creativity comes and goes whenever it pleases, and I f*ckin want to know why. Why can't I summon my creative genius on command?

In regards to my earlier beat-making process, creativity used to strike more frequently than it does now; I suppose it’s due to me advancing in technique over the years…maybe I’m caught up in the actual practice of making beats instead of viewing it as an art form, or my mentality when making beats isn't the same as it once was, or it could be my mind being tired of looking at and working with the same workstation/equipment – I’m the type of person who needs constant excitement to avoid boredom...or could be all of the above. Bottom line is that my musical creativity is shot. I need that work flow back – that flow of creativity as I once had – effortlessly executing melody after melody, drum pattern after drum pattern, even if they were less advanced in musicality than melodies and drum patterns I create nowadays.

As I mentioned before, I think I get lost in the actual practice of making beats – seeking to achieve a particular goal within the beat – whether it be giving the beat more energy, or maintaining momentum of the beat, or trying to evoke a certain emotion through melody… when my mind is stuck on trying to achieve these elements (even subconsciously), it obstructs the free flow of musical creativity. Although, I wish I could just fix that dilemma, I don't know if that's something I can necessarily control.

The key subject here is the free flow of creativity yearned by so many, but assessable to utilize by only few. I still have this flow of creativity but only in short spurts throughout the year. For example, my mind will be in a creative state that allows me to make a batch of 5-7 beats over a time span of about a week or two (and that’s a high number for me). My creative process is not a one-go, sit-in, make-a-beat kinda thing. When people ask me how long it takes for me to make a beat, I tell them I don’t know. I can't say that it takes me 10 minutes, or an hour, or two hours to make a beat, because I usually work on several beats at one time, switching back and forth between each one while letting my creativity flow (all this in a couple week's time span). It works out pretty well… for the time the spurt of creativity lasts.

This has been a random rant of thoughts by yours truly, COOP of The Baron Boys, and has no ultimate purpose other than for the reading pleasure of whoever feels like reading it... Thanks for reading.

Enjoy hearing some of our beats at my Twiturm Profile

[Video] Drake “Better Than Good Enough” Documentary

MTV Shows

This is a first part of a 7-part documentary.

After MTV aired Drake's “Better Than Good Enough” documentary, I saw a lot of tweets from people saying they gained more respect for him as a person and artist. I still haven't seen it yet but I'm sure it's interesting. This is a great way to allow not only fans but doubters a chance to look into what Drake's really rapping about in his songs, since his songs are all based on what's going on in his life. A personal view into someone's life gives people a sense of security - being able to relate and feel more comfortable with their own lives. People love to see that. It's why reality shows are so popular.

So that would explain the similar video concepts]. I'm no video producer or director, but I can always pick out places within the video where things could have been better, but nonetheless, it's a pretty cool video with a lot of pyrotechnics. Peep.

Pursuit of Happiness

2010-06-16T01:33:00.001-04:00

COOP: Women feel like the sole reason we are put on this Earth as human beings is to get married and have a family, right? That statement was kinda bold. But why are we put here? Is it to go to school, get a job, join in wedlock, reproduce, then die? Is it to destroy ourselves and the world on which we live? Is it solely to serve our creator? Whatever our purpose might be, it can't be to simply find the meaning of life in search. It's cool to wonder sometimes. I wonder why/how all the time. Much thought beyond a simple wonder would simply be pointless. The voyage to find the meaning of life: just as futile as holding a grudge against the sky.

I say pursue what makes you happy. Embrace all that feels right. Not everyone can be a star, rich, or famous. Not everyone wants to be any of those things. If I had an ultimate philosophy about life, it would be that life is about filling your niche in society. Wouldn't you agree? How does one find their niche? I'd say just make your niche by pursuing what makes you happy, or what feels right. How wrong can you go with that direction?

My purpose:
I, myself, would like grow into the man I believe is a great man -- a man great enough to love his woman unconditionally, a man great enough to provide for his family and raise his children appropriately, a man great enough to fulfill these duties, and a man great enough to accept his imperfections. I simply want to be a man of charisma, perseverance, and ambition... To not simply live life... but to actively live, or to be alive while living my life, as many people do not do.

Before I leave this Earth I plan on doing everything I want to do, for the simple fact that I want to do it. From skydiving to flying my own plane to waking up to a sun rise on a peak in the highlands of a Southeast Asian island. In the pursuit of happiness and self-fulfillment, I will be a great force in the music industry. I will be a hero in someone's eyes. I will give back and do my part to bring joy to someone's life. I will live and enjoy life along side of loved ones, and I will provide them with the knowledge and opportunities to do the same, but at a greater magnitude. I came into the world airborne, and I will leave this earth with my footprint embedded in history.

Everyone has their own perspective at which they view life - may my view to be wider

Life is what you make it - may my life to be a monument

Take the world by storm - may my raindrops sprout new buds across the globe.

Things That Would Make Life Better

2010-06-15T21:59:00.001-04:00

Mac Book Pro -
Mac is a great machine for music production. It has made its way to being the industry standard in all recording studios.

Right now, out of convenience and lack of sufficient funds, I'm working with a really booty Compaq laptop. Only good thing about it is the 3gigs of RAM and 17inch Wide screen. Previously coming from a Dell desktop with only 256MB of RAM, my Compaq laptop is still a great upgrade. But I still need that Mac.

Pro Tools HD 8 -
Pro Tools is industry standard for recording, tracking, and mixing music. Pro Tools has its own signature sound when your tracks are processed through it. I've had my own beats sound better after being run through Pro Tools.

There are many DAWs (digital audio workstation) that some people prefer over Pro Tools, but I honestly believe they're just trying to be rebels and go against the grain.

FL Studio -
Boy, WHAT?! ...nuff said.

Piano Lessons -
First off, classical piano training is not necessary to learn how to play piano. I personally believe there are more percs to being formally trained. I've been building chords for years without knowing what they are, or if they're being executed properly within the best register, etc. Why not know music when making music?
Being handy with a piano/keyboard opens your mind to a wider array of possibilities than otherwise, not being handy with keys.

'Inspiration of St.Matthew' ca.1602

Inspiration -
Not much to say here. All creators of anything need inspiration. A creative mind is useless without being inspired to create.

Inspiration is all around us. Sometimes, inspiration doesn't necessarily jump out at us. It comes with realization. Personally, I find inspiration within visual art, movies, background music in movies, background music in commercials, cruises down the highway at night, etc. Despite inspiration taking many forms and always being around me, sometimes it just doesn't come to me as inspiration without realization.

Big Ben

Time -
All things lost can be regained...except for time. Time is powerful. Time heals. Time tells. Time enlightens. Time allows. It sucks how important time is, yet it's the one thing to which we are so limited. You could do anything if you had an unlimited amount of time. Conversely, you can only do so much with such a limited amount of time.

Open Labs Neko -
"Powered by the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processor and using a 15" touchscreen, 61 black and white keys, built-in QWERTY keyboard and running Windows 7™ OS, the GEN6 NeKo XXL is an entirely new class of multimedia instrument. NeKo XXL is specifically designed with keyboard playability and maximum studio functionality."

This machine can hold Pro Tools and FL Studio along side of many of programs within it's hard drive. A list of producers I know who use this machine are Timbaland, Denaun Porter, Polow da Don, Tim & Bob (they have 2), and even Prince and Teddy Riley.

But I really wouldn't mind this here

Street Etiquette

2010-06-15T16:00:00.009-04:00

Travis Gumbs & Joshua Kissi (from left to right)

"Comprised of two individuals who reside in the urban world of NYC, Street Etiquette is a parallel to the accepted meaning of Etiquette. Etiquette is described as proprieties of conduct established in any class or community or for any occasion. Our community is the urban areas New York City full of eccentricity, originality and diversity. Our Street Etiquette is our love for HipHop, Hood Art (graffiti) and most of all our love for incorporating different styles of fashion into our urban style." - Street Etiquette

I honestly don't even care how corny this might sound, but Street Etiquette helped me step my game up. The article posts on Street Etiquette touch base on classic pieces of clothing and mentions the history and legacy of each item. I'd suggest this site to anyone seeking to simply get a better sense of style/fashion.

Before I came across SE, my sense of fashion lacked in practicality and a personalized style. Even though, in the past, I was more into over-sized street wear, I always wanted my clothes to be different in some way, more fitting than traditional urban wear. Although I do still occasionally rock some street wear, I'm more aware of how tasteful it looks styled on my physique. Because of Street Etiquette's tips and detailed descriptions of clothing articles, I have a more personalized style for myself, and my sense of fashion has increased. I would describe my style as laid back, "Urban" Gentlemen wear -- or well put-together without trying too hard. I definitely realize more people complimenting me on my current gear rather than my older gear.

Drake: Thank Me Later Debut Album

2010-06-14T23:41:00.012-04:00

Now, if you have been following this blog since the beginning (circa 2008), then you know we support the homie Drake. The Baron Boys and Sosa are big supporters of this newer school of rap -- this new league of starters whose progression we have witnessed since pre-fame. From Room for Improvement, to Comeback Season, to Grammy-nominated So Far Gone, to right now at where he is in his career, we've seen him progress from the jump, and it's quite an amazing thing to see THE underrated, yet talented underdog come up from others doubting, hating, and holding him back.

No matter what anyone says, you can't take away the work and dedication he puts into his music. I support good music. Point blank. Drake's projects are comprised of well-thought out, conceptual music.

Despite all the singing he does on the album, it's fairly Hip-Hop for the reasons stated above. No matter how much you dislike Drake for what ever reason, I don't see how you can deny the album as a fair attempt at "real" music. It's real shit, and a real nigga can't hate on real shit. Just saying.

Much love and congratulations to Drake. We know it's as good as Platinum in the first few weeks, Diamond by Fall. Too much credit? Nah.

Purchase Drake's Debut album "Thank Me Later" (here) and support good music that's worth your money.

Finally, the mastered version of J.Cole's debut single. I was almost mad when I heard the unmastered version. But regardless, J.Cole snapped and did his thing on this track, as usual. But for a debut single, it's still growing on me as a big fan and supporter of J. Cole. Regardless, I KNOW the album won't disappoint.

Blink - Pray4Love

2010-04-07T12:47:00.007-04:00

Blink's latest leak #pray4love is a true reflection of the times:

In Chicago, IL over 40 African-American youth have been victims of gun violence in the past week

Americans are angry at the current state of the country and we are seeing an uprising in anti-government groups

There are daily murderous attacks in Blink's birth country of Nigeria

Blink has not turned a blind eye to any of these problems and has been aware of the social and political issues at hand. He felt motivated to send a message to his generation and his message comes in the form of his track #prayforlove

Blink aggressively rides the Just Blaze produced instrumental as he lyrically and profoundly addresses the social and political dilemmas that are plaguing our society right now. Blink’s concern is felt through his delivery as he directs his generation to reflect…"these times we live in are a bit different, where men raise guns but don't know how to raise children." Blink felt this message was fitting to record such expressive content over Jay Electronica's ‘Exhibit A’ instrumental.

Hot Blog Shout Out 2

2010-04-03T01:55:00.009-04:00

I've realized I won't have to time or energy to consistently update this blog myself. With that said, I wanted to shout out more than just one blog this week. Here are a few that I enjoy and recommend to you all.

Dormtainment
You can look at the name and know what this site is about. It's a video-based college website started by a group of college students and caters to the college audience purely for entertainment purposes. The men of Dormtainment have made quite a name for themselves, especially seeing that no one else is doing anything like this. These guys do it for the love of entertaining for an audience whom they can relate to. Take a minute to skim through their videos.

Bask-N-Robbins
This blog was created by an attractive young lady who happens to love music. In this blog you'll find a number of reviews on artists who aren't necessarily in the mainstream light but deserve some recognition. The blog stands as "the launchpad to the magazine [she] intends to one day have which will hold the same purpose." Simply put, I respect the blog because she shares all her thoughts with you, and the way she displays her perspective is interesting for the reader. Check it out, it deserves a follow on the blog and twitter as well @Back_N_Robbins.

DJ Lissa Monet
DJ Lissa Monet is so official, she needs her a whistle with a striped shirt to match. Lissa is a well-established DJ and blogger from Toronto who has a resume that runs long, having spun records for the likes of LeBron James, Ludacris, and Drake just to name a few. Really, there's nothing I can say to get you to get into not only her blog but HER! Find your way to her mixtapes, music reviews, news, events etc. Follow her blog and her twitter page @DjLissaMonet

Noodles & Rosé
A blog started by a college students who is also a lover of music, but also a lover of fashion. The blog is primarily dedicated to news, articles and intricacies of the fashion world, but also covers that of the music world also. The name of the blog is such a hit; it's catchy & it's clever. I don't know the intended meaning of the name, but to me it symbolizes the highs of life, the lows of life, and everything in between. Check out the blog, you're destined to see or hear something that's mind blowing to some degree. Very interesting. (twitter: @where_is_noelle)

Random Acts of Flyness
This is a blog started by AG the Kid, a Florida native and pro blogger. The blog displays a wide array of musical talents who may or may not be mainstream, but all quality is assured. Really, not much I can say about it; if you like to hear NEW music that isn't played on the radio 10 times within the hour, check this site for your fixing.

Hot Blog Shout Out

2010-03-13T19:11:00.005-05:00

I haven't gotten around to posting anything new in a while, but here's something I felt the need to share. Firstly, let me say that I have many friends who have great blogs and who have posts that actually are worth viewing. I should have started this blog shout out thing a long time ago, so I've decided I'll do this every week.

Now, I want to give a shout out to the music-driven blog Urban Soul Suite

This blog was created by a college student who simply loves music. The majority of the posts are dedicated to either [neo-]soul or r&b musical talents but there lies some posts that may steer in a different direction. Overall, it's a very enjoyasble blog and I recommend this to all music lovers. Hit that man with a follow (via both Blogger & Twitter [ @_ChrisJacobs_ ]).

My Favorite Producers of The Year.

2009-12-26T22:14:00.003-05:00

Other then the Baron Boys obviously lol. Goes to:

"The Runners"

I chose them cuz what i have been hearing from them has been the most hard hitting and consistent. Whether it has been R&B or Gritty Street Records they stay consistent. I would say Rob Holladay (dude who made Love Come Down) or J.U.S.T.I.C.E League but i have been leaning towards The Runners more because the way they stuff bangs in the whip is unlike others i have heard this year & the way their beats switch up i love, especially after Usher's "Hey Daddy" record with Plies. These dudes go hard on beats...Love

This shit is just plain out dope... 50 came back from that other bullshit he was on. This is the best album since G.R.O.D.T. and I'm gonna support this by spending my cash on it. I know he rich, he obviously doesn't even need to do music. but he's not even doing it for the sales, well sorta. He's doing this to get his fans back (hence rapping about shit we know he aint doing, but it's all good). That man's pride was hurt when Kan sold more than his last album. (Didn't 'Curtis' actually flop?) But anyhow, track after track, back to back, str8 flames.

New Drake Videos

2009-09-25T18:04:00.008-04:00

Been a minute since we had a Drake update here...Lemme just post some quick videos.

Money to Blow: Video directed by Gil Green. Although the visual actually made me like the song even more, and beat sounds sicker with the visual (shouts to Drumma Boy), it was brought to my attention by a fellow producer that the video actually did have way too many cuts, and color correction was off. I went back to watch and realized he was right. The picture actually seemed pretty dull, but that's from a technical/critical perspective. I like the vid, nonetheless.

Forever: I love the visual and effects of this video. Hype Williams went big like always. Kanye with the pyrotechnics lol... Hot shit... Shouts to Boi-1da on the beat!

Digital Girl: I just plain out like Drake's verse on this one. He played off the digital theme really well with the software and chatting references. Real clever. Kanye fuckin killed it too... he does that shit so effortless now.

Checkpoint

2009-09-22T18:13:00.005-04:00

Checkpoint: a place where a traveler stops for inspection and clearance. The point where one's progression up until this moment is accounted for, and here lies the line of many options and paths in various directions which lead to different outcomes -- to sit, reflect and assess, then formulate a plot to be carried out in order to progress in the game... to win.

As every ticking second becomes a standing minute, and every minute becomes a memorable hour, and every hour becomes a waking day, we don't just wait for blessings to arrive. We strive for progression, to get better in order to better our future. I want to be that man who success finds, not the man who finds success. Too busy working to even worry about success. I'm too busy working, and learning, and creating...too busy to worry about it. But it's understood to me that every time I open my beat-making software and venture into my own world in my mind, I take a step further into the progression of my life and the yearned high-status of my future. Even with all of this in mind, I can't help but wonder when or if the dreams will become reality. How much time will pass before aspirations become doubts, and doubts become affirmations? Affirmations that tell us that our dreams were meant to be dreams. That's my life's nightmare. I've been in the dark for 8 years since I started making beats, I've seen a few flashes but It's like every time I go to grab a light, I miss. Even with new beginnings of new relationships and new business, the dream seems to get more bleak with each passing month...stagnancy settles in. and to think, this is simply ONE life issue along side of everything else going on which I choose not to voice to anyone. All I can say for now is that there are a lot of things and people to let go, and even more to pursue and apprehend. Time to cut the bullshit, and play life like the game it is. No longer can I not know the direction of where my life is heading. No longer will I not be in control of where it's heading. This is my checkpoint.

As I was casually browsing the web, I decided to stop at Octobers Very Own to see what was new. I'm excited to see that they are shooting a video for my favorite song from the 'So Far Gone' tape. And even more excited about the director, Jake Davis. This guy has an eye for excellence along with an intricate mind which, together, makes for something monumental. I've been following his blog since either late 2008 or early this year. I advice fashion-heads to follow also. He always has some interesting posts and views about various things.

2009-08-10T00:55:00.003-04:00

This song is pretty-damn-bumpin. I dig it. I'm gonna go ahead and assume he writes his own lyrics. The lyrics are good; it's quality music. The song was produced by Nate "Danjahandz" Hill, who was the mega-producer protege of the megaproducer Timbaland. Snoop did his thing on the verse, but it's his same ol Snoop, which we've had since about 2004. Let's switch it up Snoop. I'll even take the Snoop when he first came out, the flow was cold, g. Nonetheless, good song. peep.

NIPSEY HUSSLE!

2009-08-05T21:24:00.005-04:00

I seriously LOVE this niggas music. This is that dude next up out WEST hands down. This dude flows like he's from the east too and just makes hot songs. Damn near all of Nipsey's material sounds like album cuts. Here we have Bullets Aint Got No Names vol. 3 (make sure you check out 1 & 2)

You might not be able to relate to what he's saying but there's always a message in his bars & the music/production is so hot that you could really care less...

This shit is cold. Like my chicago niggas say...

Jamie Foxx - Digital Girl Feat. Drake, Kanye and Dream

2009-07-29T17:57:00.004-04:00

I really dig Drake's and Kanye's verses on here. They always on point. I dig the overall song, it's nice n chill. But I really don't see what role Th Dream plays in here. I guess he's just the baby voice-in-the-background accent to the song. Nonetheless, I digs

2009-07-28T14:03:00.003-04:00

JAY-Z - "Run This Town" ft. Rihanna & Yeezy

2009-07-24T15:08:00.004-04:00

Kanye West killed the beat in my opinion, that's the classic Ye' right there. Kanye also killed the VERSE. Nigga done came up. I feel the song (i feel like it's not BP3 material though... iono why I'm holdin it so high but, i guess that's expected from the 'greatest' in the game. But If they made a Video to this, I can see it being very epic. I hope they don't fumble with that. Either way, I heard the official first single for BP3 will feature Drake. I'm waitin on that.

Big Sean - "Getcha' Some" OFFICIAL VIDEO

2009-07-23T21:21:00.002-04:00

FINALLY this video comes out. It has to have been like a year and a half since they recorded this video or something.

-Pay Attention-

Kan still killin the game...

2009-07-23T08:33:00.007-04:00

Can't tell me this nigga don't start trends with every move he makes. I haven't seen Timbs rocked in this sort of fashion, ever... but the fact that he's even bringing the Timbs back into style just by rockin what he wants to rock at the moment, says a lot. Dope. This is FLAVA (death of swag), straight killin the game.

Amber Rose is looking on POINT... mm* Gotta be the squat exercises.

Peep the same style in the "I Make Her Say" video

Beyonce - "Sweet Dreams" (no spectac)

2009-07-23T08:26:00.005-04:00

Beyonce made me fall in love with her all over again. I thought I was losing the affection I have for her for a minute. Ever since she got heavily wifed by Jay. But this video alone made it come back, especially the part where she start breaking down and poppin with the black dress, sayin "my guilty pleasure, I aint goin no where" THAT MOVE RIGHT THERE! yup... peep

I wonder who does her production, it's always different, distinct, epic, and on point. Good job on the production side of things, I'm sure she did her thing on the vocal side of things also.

Creative Recreation Spring 2010

2009-07-23T08:03:00.003-04:00

Creative Recs done started some shit... I'm still waitin on fall. Peep Their spring 2010 collection.

Please direct your attention to the black pair of boots on the far left side. *thumbs up*

Recs goin Tiger Woods, what?

Creative Rec has released some looks from their Spring 2010 line. Forthcoming looks from their main line have strong details and inspirations from their “Italian” line. Smooth lines and muted undertones are the focus on many of these forthcoming styles. Creative Rec continues to switch up their style and bring fresh looks again and again. – cw

But truthfully, I might fux with the Black Boots and the Brown boots and that it. Like I said, I'm just waitin for the Fall 2009 collection cuz I KNOW they are fire. I'm not a big fashion-head but I know what I like.

Who Still Goes "Raw" in 2009? (o_o)

2009-07-19T23:09:00.001-04:00

Seriously, who doesn't use condons or some type of protection nowadays? I don't care if that chick looks like Alicia Keys or America's Next Top Model I'm still strapping up. Yes the sensation of going raw is the best but I can live without it and in peace knowing I didn't catch something.

If you wanna go catch "bodies" and smash all summer long that's on you, that's not my style, dudes make sure u use protection all the time and ladies make sure those dudes yall dealing with wear them too.

Only reason for not using one is because she is wifey and yall have been together for a long time and yall trust each other. Other then that, niggas be thinking the condom shit is only for not getting shortie pregnant. No, its so u won't catch these STD's too dummy...

Stop playing Russian Roulette with ya life and stay sucka free! Ladies AND Fellas :D

Jordans? Why waste your time even copping anymore.

2009-07-15T17:31:00.005-04:00

I don't even rock Jordan's (never did other then 11's ONCE) but for the dudes that do rock Jordans. Why do yall even beast or better yet ask niggas "Yo you heard they coming back out with the Infared's or the XI's". A dude just today asked me. No duh nigga they always release them over and over again and yall niggas beast time and time again for em asking me as if i care lol. I swear they JUST retroed the Space Jam's or whateva last year and now they RE-RE-RETROING them AGAIN this Novemeber SMFH. Jordan Brand just milking yall clowns pockets and using less quality on em.Even if you do get "fresh" (o_o) yall look like every other dude wearing them too. This is almost as bad as the dudes who just started wearing American Cup Prada's.

Its not to say you cant wear Jordans every now and then cuz they are classic sneakers. I can't front i like seeing a pretty chick in Jordan's/Nike's SOMETIMES but i rather her rocking some fly shoes.

Step ya game up ladies and fellas...Its 2009. There's too much other fly stuff out here :-)
