Glitter In The Air - Pink

Though i'm slightly embarrassed to admit it, I heard this on The Hills last night. and the metaphors and images and personification all caught my att. [God, im starting to sound like my creative writing prof.] Uhh...the song is just beautifully blunt. Glitter in the Air is off Pink's Funhouse album.

Donnie McClurkin!

Wow! So D. Mcclurkin came to my church [Mississippi Blvd. Christian Church; senior servant Dr./Pastor Frank A. Thomas] this past Sunday. And I've always been a fan of his gospel min.. He was featured in our Christmas Concert. Which btw the children's, youth and adult choir were all excellent!! Anyhow I was definitely impressed by Mr. McClurkin's vocals, testimony and mainly his dedication. He performed his music in mult. languages [English [of course] Japanese, Dutch, Spanish] and still managed to be just as powerful. In Japanese, he brought tears to my eyes! Most of the time I couldn't understand a word he was singing, but I certainly felt his heart in the music. And that is whats powerful-

Point being, whatever career I choose I honestly hope my dedication can be received just as powerfully. You dont have to understand me-

THE BIG DAY!!

Yes! 808s && Heartbreak was released in stores today. As ecstatic as I am that [finally] it came out, I can't help but raise a few eyebrows. First, since when was Monday the CD-release day? AND WHY ARE ALLL THE TRACKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEPRESSING!! OMG!! I mean, I wear my heart on my sleeve as much as the next! But damn! A full Cd's worth! OK- I'm done knockin' Mr. West! I still love him- && I definitely still support him.

this album, however-

AMAs

Definitely excited about Mr. West's new PASTELLE line to retail


&& as always Ms. KEYS shut it down!!

OH- and big ups to Chris Brown && Rihanna [for rockin' her see-through clutch] invaded by lollipops [innovative]]

Ego- Beyonce[I am...Sasha Fierce]

I love this song [l0l]!!!!!!!!!

FYI- subliminal messages are always in style-

"Lost"

Jay asks in a rap "now the question is- is it better to have had and lost, than never to have had at all" as Alfred L. Tennyson replies over a hundred years prior in an elegy "tis better... "[l0l]

rap is poetry.

Image is EVERYTHING [NO ONE JUST GETS TO WEAR A SKULLY && A TU-TU]

So, I couldn't help but note that "Pon De Replay" Rihanna isn't the same as "Rehab" Rihanna. She seems so much cooler. No?

Is it the ever-changing haircut, perhaps? Susperstar Bf? or is it just the image?

The Death of Adam- 88 Keys

Of course, anything Kanye takes an interest in- I happily concur alongside[even if it has a hoop in its nostril and hair that resembles brillow [j/k 88 Keys is dope]].

The Death of Adam: Aghh!! Its SO...[whats the word]...funny? [no] interesting? [nahh] Damn! I dont know- and rarely am I at a loss for words. It's [??] ...I really can't say. Its just different- the concept. the sound. It makes you feel good [smiling]. There. Simply, that's what it is. Its just a light-hearted, 'feel good' album. For those who dont think Kanye has a sense of humor- he must [to have produced such work]! Just get it. Listen to it. Laugh for a while. And appreciate it. Good stuff.

Beyonce interview with Oprah

I'm not a big fan of Sasha Fierce, but I'm a HUGE fan of Beyonce's.

How could you be so Heartless

"of course its not hard for me to find a date, but to find a mate- its different"

Man, I wish I could give him like the biggest, hugest hug right now!!

Spoon Feed me PLEASE!!

I have a confession. I'm a baby. Well, I'd like think I've matured to a toddler-stage. oK- not literally! But concerning music- yes, i am not fully developed [probably nowhere near]. Actually, when I met Lu "Lupe Fiasco" thats one the first things I told him, "I just recently became a fan". Because I had. I'm talkin' like...the release of The Cool-fan. But I absolutely Love HIS music [now] much along with Kaye [we go back to college dropout L0L!!] and N.E.R.D and i even like the Cool Kids. Basically, I've become acquainted with this whole different part of ME!! Anyway, I really wanted to take a min. and give MY feedback on the new hip-hop game. I love it! I love the new extremes its reaching. Umm...gosh...I have so much I want to say. Its so important to understand why this music is good [because as many skateboard kids there are that feel what im feeling, there are a lot who still dont get it]. Good Music: I've been writing/reading poetry my whole life. Mother to Son-Langston Hughes was the first piece I ever memorized. Ever since then I've fallen in love with it. Me and words have a relationship- no lie. And I've found that in the past I've merely skimmed the surface of rap/hip hop [the two are different] because though often the music was lyrically sound, only in rare cases was it profoundly so. And I have neither the patience nor time for that which does not stimulate. Still! We all have a universal goal just to be understood- to have someone say i feel where you comin' from. Which is the very reason Hughes, and Gibran, and Frost, and Emerson, and Confucius etc.[it goes on forever] are as significant today as were during their generations; because each found a balance between whats relevant [to his/her generation] and whats timeless [to the world]and fused the two. Its about balance. Thats exactly what this new generation of Hip-Hoppers are doin'-a balancing act and its PURE POETRY!! Once I got that, there was no turning back!! I was listenin' to "Dumb it down" [Lupe Fiasco] and i can't lie- I don't care how intelligent you are, at some point you're gonna have to break out the encyclopedia listenin' to Lupe. As an Eng. major, naturally, I broke it down as I would do any poem/paper. He basically talks about how the demographic he appeals to wants him to "dumb down" his lyrics [make them more commercial so to speak], but in contrast they're still buyin', still supportin', and still listenin' to his music. So he opts NOT to "dumb it down". As it goes, Just as i dont always understand everything he raps about, i inadvertently am becoming more endowed...just listenin'. Sometimes thats all it takes. Just listen. Its like when you're little and you dont want to take medicine, so your mom crunches it into tiny pieces and sprinkles it into juice or something. Anything to distract you from knowing you're being fed whats necessary. Its the same thing. Our generation is so accustomed to things quick- we dont take time to read or properly digest. But we HAVE to get fed. So crunch it up and give it to me over a beat! Yo, we're begging for it!! Its [really] just about leaving your impression on this Earth so that when you're long gone someone can look where your foot imprinted [and perhaps not know who you were or what you did] but they can feel you-

&& Some like it Soft

"Go Hard"

The Best BUMS!

808's & Heartbreak and LupE.N.D and The Blueprint 3!!

I know a lot of tracks have been leaked from Kanye's 808 so willfully i listened and i must say- the auto-tuning gets a lil' annoying after about 3 songs BUT im sooooooo excited about the video releases!! I know they're gonna be stupid creative-

Hip-Hop vs. High-Fashion

Ok- I'm no lyricist nor am I a fashionista. But WHO really is? I mean, either is opinion-based right? But thats neither here nor there [or is it]. Question: Can the two collab.? I would LOVE to say the idea is conducive, but [to me] its not! Hip-hop [not music] has always rendered rebellion. I know what you're thinking- so has fashion over the past 50 years, right? yes, but on two different extremes. Its like trying to breed two different species of animals. You can't have a pig fuck a frog and make a Prog. It just doesn't work. But thats not to say they can't cohabitate in a civil manner. I love the idea of new hip-hop adopting fashion and culture- Just as I love that new fashion is adopting more urban looks. But one is one. And the other is the other. And thats pretty much that on that-


LOL!! FUCK EVERYTHING I JUST SAID. I JUST READ OVER WHAT I WROTE. OBAMA IS PRESIDENT! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. LETS BREED PROGS!!
