Beautiful.....

I'm currently working on a song called "Famous" It's a song that I'm writing for someone else but I'm excited about it like its mine. Lol. I love women with classic beauty. The type that once you wake up in the morning and look at their face, with no make up/hair not done/morning breath.....their still beautiful. Because its natural. Idk, maybe I ask for more than I deserve but I've never been the type to be satisfied with less. This song is for all the women who are stars, before and after the light comes on. I'm probably single because I've yet to find my own personal Scarlett Johansson on the cover of Vogue. Even when she's right in front of me........


Heard she was the next Cindy, or Tyra
hotter than fire
but she wants to be marilyn monroe
-Me "Famous"

The thinkers thoughts......

Decide what you want out of life. Then set your goals high. For the world will turn aside and let you pass if you know where you are going.

The greatest mistake you can make is to be afraid of making one. The earlier you make those mistakes the better. Don’t be afraid to try. The difference between greatness and mediocrity will be how often you try. No one has ever possessed enough power, prestige, or knowledge to always win. It’s fundemental to life that you’ll win some and you’ll lose some.

Turn your possibilities into reality by simply taking action.

-J.Sakiya

Change is........

I never thought that Barack Obama was going to change the world in a day. Nor did I think he would change it in a week, or a month. But I knew he would make the best decisions to put us in the right direction. People seem to forget that he inherited this fiasco of a world and is doing what he thinks needs to be done to get us out. We voted for him because we believed he was the right man for the job. Change doesn't happen overnight, but as obvious from his first 100 days, it does happen.

If a picture says 1000 words........

I can think of two.

RHYMEFEST:What’s better day dreaming vs. dreaming while sleep?

Uptopjdp @RHYMEFEST dreaming while sleep def. In the day you should be doing what you dreamed about.

RHYMEFEST@Uptopjdp that's real

Dope.

Fan Art.........

I love that people appreciate my art. I put alot into my music, every single song is a piece of me to share with the world. So when people take the time to share their art with me I appreciate it. Someone sent me this as a compliment to the music, so dope I had to post it.

My life's current love........

Ms. Hilson's album drops 2morro. I plan on picking up a copy. I've been rocking with shorty since tha "apple juice" song and that feature on Diddy's CD. She's one of those artist you watch grind and I'm happy for her. She's been the background on the pen for so many other acts that it's definitely time she got hers. 'Turnin me on' was dope and now this one, with Ye' and Neyo is probably gonna put her right where she needs to be.




Keri Hilson ft Kanye & Neyo "Knock you down"

Just do it.......

Just Do It from copacabana club on Vimeo.
Copacabana Club "Just do it"

Shout out to S.Rowe for the cover work. Dope.
The mixtape is a wrap. It's the first of many and I'm excited about it. This is really the first foot in the door as far as my music is concerned. I think of it as an introduction to me and the flyy city movement. Just to let you know where I'm headed and what I'm about. The production is crazy and broad as well as the instrumentals I picked. I meant to put this out earlier this year but what are you gonna do. We got a lot of things planned for this year+ and this is the first official shot fired. I really hope you guys enjoy it the tape which is coming soon, like few days soon.

You gotta know I stay ^........

88 Keys Ft Kanye West "Stay Up"

Lmao!!!

I keep picturing the crew still wiling out 50 years from now. Hahaha!!!

Purple.............

Either Purple or Blue. Right now I'm leaning towards purple because I feel like I should save blue for when I really need it. Lol, no I'm talking about my favorite brand of enlightenment but about the mixtape that's in the works now. I try to stay steps ahead of things and this is no different. You guys probably won't hear any of the work from this project until mid-april, maybe may. But I'm kind of excited. I'm thinking of it a couple entries in a diary, with a vibe that you can smoke, my bad, a vibe that you can "float" to. I go through alot of things and I'm not the type of person to put the deep stuff out there. But lately I've been feeling like if I don't do something I'm going to go crazy. In a year of numerous highs, I found myself feeling so low. So idk, this project is going to be good, its going to be different but when has that ever stopped me before. All I need is a beat though, something along the lines of........

Daniel - Bat For Lashes

Bat for Lashes "Daniel"

One more for the road.......

Sometimes when the night is over. I found myself in this song. 

3 AM

It's 3 in the morning.
Can't sleep.
Too many thoughts flowing through my head.
Day dreams in the night.
Bottles lay like empty vessels
Soulless
Drained.
Just as empty as the blunt box.
Or the blunts themselves.
All that's left is the scent
Of purple kisses and blueberry weekends.
Vodka and Crandberry salads.
And a Frank Sinatra ballad.
It's 3 in the morning.
Can't sleep.
So I write.
Too comotose for anything but this.
Steal from self tomorrow.
Make a hit.
But for now, I just want.
More then I can have
Surface smile
Because nothing ever lasts
But the scent
Of her purfume and my cologne
Vodka and Crandberry salad
and this Frank Sinatra ballad.

When she gets home.......

Keri Hilson "Make love" Video for her upcoming album. Ft Ye.

Damn, I would have paid to be in Ye's shoes. Ms.Hilson is........

We in chicago biyyyyatch!!!!

Lol @ this mugshot.

The homie Naledge remixes "In miami bitch" & flips into....of course

"We in chicago bitch"

Radio Killa.......

So the follow up is just as ill as the first in my opinion. Not better, but just as good which is an accomplishment in itself. Currently bumping in my headphones. Every song flows into the next flawlessly and it has alot of joints that I could see as a hit on the radio. Love vs Money the title set(its 2 tracks) is dope and touches kind of close. Fancy is my shit, Right side of the brain, Let me see the booty, Rocking that thang, idk lol. Yea, the whole album is dope. Radio Killa.

Don't ask me where I've been........

N.A.S.A/GZA/John Frusciante/Barbie Hatch - Way Down

Every time N.A.S.A's involved its something dope.

The joints that didn't make it........

So when I'm working on a project I just create. Endless supplies of music are churned out and in the end when I sit back and examine the work, some pieces don't fit the puzzle as well as others. These joints ended up not making the cut for "Where Anything Goes: Volume 1" but I still wanted to share them with you guys regardless.

Single Ladies freestyle

Break

Today (Tomorrow remix)

Ms. Independent freestyle

You can laugh if you want.........

Ok, so this is bogus as hell. I in no way agree or feel that a women ever deserves to get hit. I think what Chris Brown did was disgusting and sad.

With that said, my boy just sent me this remix of Browns joint "Take you down." His cousing big dre remakes it as "Beat you down" and honestly, this shit is funny as hell. To me. But you can choose whether or not you want to laugh. lol

Michelle Obama love..........

The First Lady and Oprah........more reasons to love black women.

The King of Pop.............

MJ's last shows.........

Saturday.........

The director of watchmen, just delivered a 3 minute clip from the movie. Saturday I'm there. Or Friday afternoon but I'm def checking this movie out. Lol "Who's going with me?!"

She was a prom queen..........

I don't remember who the Prom Queen was in High School, I think it was this girl Renea but I'm probably wrong. I was semi-wifed up during that period of time, working on my own label, making music like crazy, similar to my situation right now actually (just 5x better and minus wifey). Anyway, this video makes me dig the song a little more and actually convinces me that Wayne can pull this rock thing off. St.Elsewhere man.

Mr. Steele speaks to Chuck D...........

I like Micheal Steele, as a republican he seems like he genuinly cares about sincere changes in the republican party. Unfortunately, when he does things like take back criticisms of guys like Rush Limbaugh I begin to see the backbone of the RNC. Chuck D, and DL Hugely sit down and talk about Republicans and African Americans, its gonna take a alot to get us on your side though Mike, more than a black man speaking, tell Rush to come holla. I'm laughing, but so serious.

Me & Keri need something to go on....................

"Turnin' me on Remix"

Why is she so fine. They said in this song she coming @ Beyonce/Ciara/Rhianna.

Music of the moment.........

Drake "So far gone"

Favorite mixtape of 09. Yes.

Lost hats and shit.........

Ill Eagle (even though he doesn't go by that anymore) "Dude, where's my hat?"

Lol @ the title of this post. Anyway I heard this joint from fam and thought it was dope. I can see myself going nuts drunk as hell in the party when this comes on. Good times. 

Speaking of drinks.........

Song is my shit. This video just made it that much better. Dope.

Sidenote: Lol @ Ron Howard man.

The boy on WGCI.com...................

So, the number one chicago radio station decided to post "Styrofoam Cups" on their website. Click the link below and check it out.

WGCI + JDP = Word.

So this morning got me feeling like........

Maybe it's too much coffee coursing through my system right now. I went home yesterday, got refreshed and reminded of the things that are important. I've been in a down mood recently, its the effect that certain people have on you sometimes, you know. But seeing as I got a show coming up, a magazine spot(shhhh), a video I'm about to start working on, a spot on WGCI chilling, and some features overseas that you guys haven't even heard yet. Is it wrong for me to feel excited, confident, good in this BITCH! Lol. Its one of those mornings, let's hope it continues. Yesssir, fresh. Ain't I.



"Aint I"

Lol, shoutout to christy for putting this song in my head this morning. Dueces.

We in the building like Na Na Na..........

Jim Jones - New Music - More Music Videos
