Jimmy Neutron of music.




Its few rare times in hip hop performances that actually make me wanna cry, simply off of the raw energy of the performer and their music. Kanye did that for me tonight. He was on Vh1 Storytellers straight blackin. Other than "Fade to Black", it was one of the greatest performances I've ever witnessed. It captured me, inspired me, and enlightened me, and obviously most artists aren't even talented enough to hold my attention.

Damn Ye'.

The polls are open.

Big ups to ye' for the following....



So I've spent the entire morning from 11am to 12:13 online 106 & voting(haha thats funny to me!) for the aforementioned, Chazz's "Brooklyn Girls", CuDi's "Day N Nite", and Jazmine's "LTaB"......

Hopefully we can get Chazz some air time on the corniest show in television. I'll torture myself and watch tonight. If not then I'll just keep voting until I see Lacey Duvalle in a 106 video...

I gotta go mentally prepare myself for the corniness Im about to be exposed to....

Pray for me.

I BLOG U.

"When she blogs that way, I know she loves me..."

Lol.

Nah, its not that serious, but shorty's mad cool though. Livin out east, where Im supposed to be. The artsy type, thats a plus. And she straight OD with the poetry... I wish I could post some of my verses but...that'll never happen lol. Alotta people think I use my blog just to build a buzz.....

Now I will admit, I wanna build a strong, solid buzz, but I can do that with my music alone(I'll be posting some soon). I blog to let out feelings I cant verbalize, just like I do with my music. I read blogs to get a better understanding of people, and am intrigued by few people who are actually interesting enough for me to follow their blogs. I wonder what they go through daily, and their mannerisms. Im only intriqued by very few(Charles Hamilton, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye, {Yo} Ji-Mai?).

So now, Im in the middle of recording, waiting for a new post from the aforementioned.

oh and to..............

{Yo} Ji-Mai?

........good looks, and that first paragraph was about you. ;]

From Degrassi to Drake..

Ok, so one of my new favorite artists is the Canadian cat, Drake. I was leavin Steak N' Shake wit my dude Kysean, and he was like "yea, i never thought a rapper could come from Degrassi." At first I didnt believe him, but it was proven true, and the dude was even blackin out on the show....



Dude straight OD'd.

What kinda amusement park is this?

So once again I had to stand in line for another rollercoaster for the past few days, my cousin jus ups and leaves the city for good the day before Valentine's Day, I dont find out until two days AFTER Valentine's Day, I spent Valentine's Day wit my girl and my fam, Im two days into 19th B-Day, developed my look which was completed wit my new frames, and....wait for it.........G-SHOCK!!! courtesy of my dudes Kysean and Misz. B. Its been a weird couple days though, mostly with my cousin bein gone. I jus wish I could have done more to help him............

So now I go home and just sit there by myself, head banging to the pink lava lamp, and Well isn't this awkward.

The Archetype.

Kind of an epiphany that I had while recording.

I mean its four different people, four different personalities, four different backgrounds, four different styles, four different visions.....

But the synergy the four of us have together is unmeasurable. Ideas and concepts flow like H2O(haha that rhymed!). These 3 guys have inspired me more in 2 weeks then I have been in a long time.....

With these dudes backin me, get ready for somethin incredible.

So to V.C., J-Spit, and Kysean...

Thank you.

The highest reward in music..........what a sham.

Sounds over the top enough, rite!?

I couldn't possibly be more serious. Lil' Wayne was given 3 Grammy's for the Tha Carter III, not necessarily because he deserves them, but because he was able to sell a million records in a dyin industry.

Im not sayin thats not an incredible feat, but Lil' Wayne is more hype, and band wagon following, if i've ever seen it.

Best Rap Album Nominees;

Lil' Wayne; Tha Carter III

T.I.; Papertrail

Lupe Fiasco; The Cool

Nas; Untitled

Jay-Z; American Gangster

Who in there rite mind, without Wayne's dick in their mouth can say that Wayne had a better album then all of his competitors???

Don't worry I'll wait.

Then he got a grammy for Best Rap Solo...

Best Rap Solo Performance Nominees;

Lil' Wayne; A milli

Snoop; Sexual Eruption

Lupe Fiasco; Paris, Tokyo

Nas; Nigger(the slave and the master)

Jay-Z; Roc Boys

Now I liked a milli when it was first released(before the video) and he might've beaten out Snoop in this one, but seriously???

Just cuz every rapper and their cousin made a remix makes it GRAMMY WORTHY!?

Ok, cool, whatever.

Last but not least, Best Rap Song...

Best Rap Song Nominees;

Lil' Wayne; Lollipop

Flo Rida; Low

Snoop; Sexual Eruption

Lupe Fiasco; Superstar

Jay-Z and T.I.; Swagga Like Us

Sexual Eruption was a way better song then Lollipop, you can't even compare that song for suckas to Lupe's Superstar(who should have won it.), and shit he would've still won a Grammy if they had just given to Jay and Tip.

On a much lighter note, my girl Adele got a couple Gram's, hella psyched about that. J-Hova the god, grabbed one for "Swagga Like Us", Ye' grabbed a couple aswell("Swagga Like Us", "American Boy"). My dude John Mayer grabbed one for Best Rock Solo Performance and also got one for one of my favorite joints of all time("Say"), and two of my favorite bands Metallica and Daft Punk, took one home too.

Ima little pissed my favorite R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan didnt take one home, its cool though, we got next year. Whatever.

I was real up in the air about Producer of the Year, I mean Rick Rubin, Dangermouse, and Will.I.Am, I couldnt tell you who I think is better...

Time is Limitless........

"Blame Catholic School, they told me to never accept, that I forever am blessed."
-Charles Hamilton



This post was actually 4 days in the making.......

I went from every high or low you could possibly think of, went from finally recording(big ups to Kysean, J-Spit, & V.C. we gonna have to do more tracks together), to fights with my girl because of lies, to contemplating murder and suicide, to just letting go, and learning to forgive.

Rollercoaster rite!?

I spent the last day or so just bouncing around place to place, completely unable to focus on just one thing, I could sit there and just zone and be in another world. Somedays I wish I could stay in zone, and never come back to reality, and that makes coming back to reality that much more painful.

"Time is Limitless" represents me in zone. When I zone, the world is dark, and the people cant speak words, when they open their mouth to talk to you, you hear music instead, everything thats supposed to make a sound doesnt, it all just plays music.
In zone, everything is elongated, and time is suspended, like you can spend years in one room, and the song you've been listenin hasnt ended yet.

Its like being in space, but at a totally different level.

I guess Im not from here.

Burying the hatchet.

So I've spent the last couple of days rekindling the relationship with a couple of good friends of mine. We spent last nite playin Rock Band and smokin cherry tobacco out their Hookah(it was the shit!). When I think about it, one year ago today, neither of us would ever think of a fall out between us, and thats the crazy part! When you sit back and think about, how did it happen, what took us that deep under.... its the past now, so whatever.

I took the time out to go to the sentencing of one of my bestfriends, I thought it would be ok. Then the brought him out in his orange jumpsuit, shackled. What was worse was, I could see the defeat in his face. I could see the hope being stripped away from him, and all I could do is helplessly watch, and that was some hard shit to witness. He got off easy in Mecosta County, where he was being held, and now their movin him to Kent County, where he faces even more charges.............

All I can do is pray.

So.....

Big ups to Kysean, and Brandy, hopefully now we can stay in eachother's lives positively.

And to my big brother Lonnie, Hurry up and come home.
