My Homie takes it back to the lyrics....
So yea, my dude went in. Bullet's "Back to the lyrics" dropped like yesterday and I've been running it back since then. Go. Peep. Support. Download. FREE. From here.Chi-city = NY 94'
A great commercial.....
Guiness Beer Commercial. Lol
You will NEVER see this commercial air on television in the states. Every time I see a commercial like this online I think about how much more prudish america is as oppose to other countries. Anyway, share with friends.......ha.

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier......
The 2008 Olympic campaign commercial from Nike. Talk about effective advertising.
My mother's son........
Watching FNMTV this morning and saw them premiere this video. I like this joint on their album, didn't think it would be the next single but, the whole project is catchy so I don't really have a problem. Peep the inspiration under this though. Innovation = Timeless.

A friday afternoon........
I remember this song when it came out, it was a joint I heard on repeat at my house. A few years later I did a freestyle to the beat(I gotta find it cause it was pretty sick) But, I was talking to one of my friends about Pac and he brought up the animated Tupac video. For a minute I didn't know what he was talking about, until he went to youtube and looked it up. Low and behold, there it was....and here it is....enjoy.
Damn, she is the shit......
Rihanna "Disturbia"
I grabbed this from Ye' and realized once again that Rihanna has hits! She's sexy but not in that "i'm goin for it immediatly" kind of way. Plus her video's have been on point since s.o.s so......peep.
Nas meets Colbert.......
One of my favorite artists meets one of my favorite tv show host. Steven Colbert has one of the best shows on television. The way he blends humor with politics is refreshing enough to turn people back on to what's going on in america. Mix that with the fact the he has a guest like Nas and let's him perform "Slyfox" is the dopest shit...

Song of the hour.....
So, I'm watching that song with Pharrel, Santogold and Julian. I like it. Alot. Starts making me wanna hear more from each of these guys. So I put in my copy of seeing sounds. Rocked out. Put in my copy of Santogold, cool. Then I went to Itunes and proceeded to download Is this it along with Room on fire. I forgot what the early 2000's were like when it came to the strokes. They were THE band of the times. I was just starting to deviate from my all hip hop all the time format so I didn't get toooo much into them. But one song that helped my progression from casual listener to fan was this joint. Reptilia is my favorite Strokes song and its no wonder they put the joint on the newest guitar hero. Check it out. Peace
"Please don't slow me down ,If Im going to fast"
Dissapointed.......
So......last night was suppose to go like this. I walk on the stage after Que Billah shuts it down. The crowd is still extra hype. The opening synth line of "Airplane" comes on followed by my voice booming over the speakers. I shut it down. I go upstairs. Good day. However, sometimes in life things don't go as planned. I apologize to everyone who came out to sub-t last nite to see the show. Its dissapointing when proffesionalism and preperation is lacking, on both sides of the fence. It would've been a good show. Sht, I'm sure the rest of the artists go it in. If you know me, then you know how much I love performing and as a artist that's the most important part of the job. The last couple of months I've just been putting things together but then something like a missed show happens and I have to start all over. I dunno.....again, I apologize to everyone who came out to see me. They'll be more shows to come and I hope I haven't lost out on your face in the crowd. Peace.

When I think of her.......
I think of her scent
I think she's a saint
I think I'll repent
To be what I ain't
I think of her skin
I think of her hair
To feel it again
to breath in her air
The focus of stares
And nobody compares
She unique
I think of her voice
The way that she speaks
The meaning beneath
Her sweat & those sheets
I make fun of her feet
But I love her in heels
I think of her touch
and the way that she feels
her secrets reveiled
the moments we steal
we roast, and we kill
we joke and then still
I think of her laugh
I think of her legs
I dwell on her ass
In love with her face
In love with her toung
In like when we start
In love when its done.
I think of her words
I think of her class
I think of her curves
She don't dwell on my past
Nor do I hers
and what we do is preferred
plus she fits in my verse
I think of her style
I think of her walk
She belongs on a runway
Her's is not a kind to be bought
and she shines when she talks
and doesn't have the time to be caught
She is what she is
I think of her more
She stay on her biz
I think of her more
Where were you before
Light my fire, the doors
My faith is restored
Either I'm just dreaming u or.....
This is more than a thought
more then a friend
in like when it start
and a dream when it ends..
Peace.

No name greatness........
I remember watching "If I ruled the world" video when I was younger. That was the first time I got really exposed to this brother who was/is/will be hailed as one of Hip Hop's greatest products. Later when I was playing catch up I copped Illmatic and from there I was a fan. Me and Nas were cool up until Nastradamus.....after that, wasn't really fuckin wit dude. So fast forward past regaining my ears on Stillmatic, the good vibes of god's son, the depth on Streets Disciple and the inspiration on Hip Hop is dead, Nas comes back with this. "Nigger" is probably the most excited I've been about a Nas album since Hov woke him up on Still.....The project doesn't disappoint as Nas takes us on a journey that by the end should change the way you look @ yourself, the word, and the world around it. This one should be one of his classics. Real talk. Dope.Listening to: Nas "Y'all my niggas"
Riding to that jesus music......
Lecrae "Jesus Music"
Traxxion put this on my wall. I don't where he found it, or what made him look it up but, the joint is sick. No cursing in this post. Peace.

The homie Nas performing "Hero" on Kimmel Live. Honestly, this is the most excited I've been about a Nas album since stillmatic, and I think the rest of the world agrees.

Reggie's
The bar was dope, P.I had a live band with him which was sick and he shut it down. It's funny how receptive people in a rock bar are to Hip Hop. It doesn't look like the type of place that would vibe with but they enjoyed it. Now if you brought a rock band into the Hip Hop club......I guess it just depends on the people. But after I got off the stage people were extra cool, so I chilled and enjoyed the rest of the show. Shout out to P.I for letting me come come through and perform. Yessir.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Now even you can be Kanye West.
I like the classic "cheap infomercial" look of this thing. And Kanye is funny as hell.
Tower of pisa < Spinning Tower of Dubai
The tower has 80 floors, each one will rotate on its own to constantly change the shape of the building. Their building this wonder in Dubai of course......pause.point..doesn't the last frame look like a game on jenga. lol. I gotta see that thing in person.

Train trips and headphones......
A tribe called quest "Electric Relaxation"
I was on the train this morning and this song came on my Ipod(I like setting it to random.) Even though its been a good 10+ years you can't really deny the feeling of pure, great Hip Hop. No offense to Kanye but he shouldn't even have tried to touch this one. Sick.

The converse kids.....
Santogold, Julian Casablancas, and N.E.R.D. Produced by Pharrell
I love this combo. I also think its sick that even though Converse funded this little music escapade, the song doesn't seem forced. It seems like something these artists would do on their own time. Dope
