You Better Find Somebody To Love...

I'm a big Coen Bros fan. I think they're amazing and twisted in a good way. This Friday A Serious Man releases, it looks like a very perplexing black [dark] comedy...

"A Serious Man" Trailer


I have all faith in Coen-directed/written movies, especially of late. Like who can mess with No Country on a suspense level!? Also, I love how they went from an all-star Burn After Reading cast to a 'no-name' cast for this one--it shows the credibility of their reputation. It also shows their loyalty to their craft, where they don't need big actors to make a solid film.

I'm out like thinking Rabbis from helping...

If You Ain't Been A Part Of It, At Least You Got To Witness...

Still such an epic track. Em beasts it like nothing...

Drake - "Forever" [Feat. Kanye West, Lil' Wayne & Eminem]


This track is off the original soundtrack for LBJ&TheIrish's movie, More Than a Game. It features; clips from the movie, Hype Williams crafting, stage performances, a country-star crusher, a tatted-beyond-recognition martian and a rehabilitated sleeping pill addict.

I'm out like a microphone from Taylor Swift hands...

" Wu-Tang gangbanged it, Meth ate

Rae took on a date with the Purple Tape

Passed it on to Ason and then Ghostface,

They had a hell of a of a run;

I Don't Condone Violence, But Violets Are No No's (lol)...

Affion Crockett does the best impressions. Here's some Yeezy and Jigga impersonations for Hate and Run This Town; both spoofs are related to recent media-charged headlines...

Here's his spoof on Run This Town regarding Chris Breezy's assult case. Run Chris, lol...

Affion Crockett - Run This Town (Spoof)


This is a spoof of the last couple verses of Hate off BP3 regarding Mr. Wests VMA outburst...

I'm out like all-black-everything for Chris Breezy's head...

It May Not Mean Nothing To Ya'll, But Understand Nothing Was Done For Me...

As much as I dislike LBJ now, I was always a fan of the hype. In grade 7/8 this was one of my first Slam's...

As a kid, it blew my mind what Lebron did in his high school career. No player has EVER had that much hype at such a young age. This guy had his own basketball tour for goodness sake.

"More Than A Game" Trailer


Not big on LBJ, but catching this is a must. It's about more than the game, literally. Beyond the game of basketball and beyond the one player. It's about team unity and brotherhood. How do you play with the best high player ever? How do you play under the eye of America?

How Much They Hate It? Very...

SMH & LOL at Kanye West in douchebag mode. He meant well I guess. Single Ladies is a creatively simple and powerful video. So yeah, he has a valid opinion; I just don't agree with how he stated it. Beyonce made up for it at the end when she gave Taylor the stage--you can't write this stuff...

Kanye Interupts Swift, 2009 MTV VMAs

Tell Me What You Know About Dreams, Tell Me What You Know About Night Terrors, Nothing...

Slacked on posting this. Suppose to have more on Jay-Z 9/11 benefit, but I didn't have the feeling anymore to write properly, so I deleted it, lol. (posted October 7th)

On September 11, 2009, KiD CuDi performs The Pursuit of Happiness on The Late Show with David Letterman. And miraculously, that night, he appears during Jay-Z's benefit concert at MSG (lol). The Man on The Moon can teleport? Or prob he was just at the Late Show pre-tape...

KiD CuDi - "The Pursuit of Happiness" on The Late Show


Love the Hawaii-esque hand motions lol. One of my favourite tracks off Man On The Moon: The End of day, which drops on the 13th! Go support!

You Know I Spend Money Because Spending Time Is Hopeless...

I have no time to blog lately. Still wanna review BP3 and finish a review of Ready. Been spinning this for a good bit. This is such a big track, so much honesty...

Drake - "Fear"


"what up Lil' Bro-, what up Slum Vill-, I hope you know you're the reason I have fun still". Drizzy gets ratings for that. Underground hip hop ftw.

I'm out like old lifestyles when money is involved...

Ready is still on constant rotation for me. I haven't been this hooked to a R&B CD since Confessions...

The most recent R&B CD I remember that captured my attention anywhere close to Ready was Ryan Leslie's self-titled debut earlier this year.

What Ready has that RL didn't was growth (obv cause it was his first). This is Trey's 3rd LP and the maturity shown on the album impressive I must say.

I remember listening to Trey Day a couple years ago and labeled it as another average R&B album. As much as I like Trey, it was the same as any other R&B record dropping these days and I thought it was Trey's peak.

While listening to Ready, I found out I was wrong. This album brings strong song writing and strong melodies. The only track that didn't click with me was LOL :-). I'm not big on Soulja Boy or Gucci Mane at all. The chorus sounds very simple and SB-like. The only verse I take in is Trey's; other then this track I love the entire disk.

The CD is grouped into themed sections. The first few songs are sexual, followed by love songs/ballads, then the fun songs and at the end are heartbreak songs...

Ready is filled with tracks you can vibe to, smooth slow jams and love ballads, surprisingly. The ballad, One Love was one of the tracks that immediately took me in. I wasn't expecting the level of maturity that the song resonated. I couldn't stop replaying it because it had so much truth.

Jupiter Love is a very sensual song; it is a definite mood-setter with choruses like, 'don't you be afraid to, let me elevate you'.

Together with One Love; Black Roses and Love Lost complete my top 3. To me, they're the most honest songs. Grown-man music. The writing style he shows is very developed and mature...

Black Roses has a an infectious ska-sounding melody and definitely one of the albums gems. Trey talks about painfully ending a relationship that has run it's course. Love Lost talks about disconnecting with someone you love. These two songs show that pain and heartbreak spawn the best music.

I thought the Anticipation mixtape was as good as it gets, but Trey truly saved the best for the album. The only song from the mixtape on Ready is Yo Side of The Bed which talks about no longer having the person in your life who you love.

Trey Songz shows immense growth with this effort. The songs that he conjures up are refreshing to me because I haven't really connected with any R&B album of late. They're always flawed of have no replay value. It's been weeks and I'm still hooked on this CD.

I'm out like any R&B song stuck in my head, not from this album...
