Estelle on racism in the U.K
“I’m not mad at them, but I’m wondering - how the hell is there not a single black person in the press singing soul? Adele ain’t soul. She sounds like she heard some Aretha records once, and she’s got a deeper voice - that don’t mean she’s soul. That don’t mean nothing to me in the grand scheme of my life as a black person. As a songwriter, I get what they do. As a black person, I’m like: you’re telling me this is my music? Fuck that!” [READ MORE]
Dope. Need the time?

Nowhere and Back.......
SHOW STAGE DURING SOUND CHECK
Hit up the mall, kicked it with Jay's sister, got stuuuupid fucked up and balled at the ball. (Shoutout to stretch mayne) then we ran into some Vultures on the way to nowhere and had to turn around. Along the way we pulled into this gas station and laughed at this gas pump. yea. good times. I'm so sick of trees now. Lol
Listening to: Lupe Fiasco "Gold Watch"
Always some bullshit in the good life
A Maryland songwriter-producer is suing Kanye West claiming that the hip-hop star used his tune, "Volume of Good Life," for the chart-topping single, "Good Life," without permission or giving credit.
In the lawsuit filed in Maryland District Court, Dayna Staggs (aka D'Mystro) names West and his label Roc-A-Fella Records for copyright infringement, claiming the artist didn't obtain a license to use his song, according toTMZ.
D'Mystro said he's also offended that Kanye's rendition of the record "contains vulgar and offensive" images and "harms the reputation" of his much cleaner original, which he claims was written when West was only six or seven years old.
He's asking for 85% of all world sales from the music.
85%!?! DAMN!
Eeeeeeeeee. Duece

No need for "Free T.I T-shirts" afterall.....
T.I plead guilty and was sentenced to a year in jail followed by:
In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs.
Harris, 27, who was dressed in a gray business suit, told the judge he understands the terms of the agreement.

THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE
GOOD MORNING 2001 from kwest on Vimeo.
GRADUATION ALBUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE VIDEOS PT.2 - AKIRA CUT TO STRONGER from kwest on Vimeo.
GRADUATION ALBUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE PT. 3 - I WONDER from kwest on Vimeo.
GRADUATION ALBUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE PT. 4 - BARRY BONDS from kwest on Vimeo.
Let me start with this. This is DOPE. Kanye and Derrick Lee (the editor from Flashing Lights) created 7 of these "Listening Experience" videos to each of Kanye's songs off of Graduation. Its a dope concept of instead of matching songs with a regular have the visual be an experience like a movie score. Flashing Lights makes more and more sense as I think about this but. Check these out, I'll drop more as they come along. I repeat, Dope.
The Drought is Over...
HAHAHA!!! FORREAL!
Suge Knight has a reality show. Just that statement deserves laughter......Suge Knight....."Unfinished business"

You Knew I would post this. Please don't act surprised.
This is my favorite song off of "The Cool." The record is symbolic to every MC, Producer, DJ, basically any kid from the Hip Hop generation because when that hook drops we all feel that shit. The story could be any of us in a different city, I extra dig this record. Yesssir.
P.S: Second single. Perfect.

Cloud 12 with the ocean view of 9..........
Thats my city rite there. Feel like Leo in the titanic "I'm on top of the wooooorld!!" Hopefully that analogy stops there. We celebrated Jay's birthday all week(21 in this bitch, me and T got a few months mayne) But, hand in hand with that celebration we suffered some icebergs along the way. That's life though, sometimes you floating along fine feeling brand new, next second your looking for a lifeboat wondering how the hell your got there in the first place. Its what you do during these moments that show who you are. I've had times I felt lower then low and times that I felt higher then high(this blunt has nothing to do with it. lol) But surviving those low moments help me enjoy the high ones. Like right then, we we're in this flyy ass pad with a full view of the city just chilling before the party started. Traxxion came through with some jalepenio poppers, and me and Flow and Srowe proceeded to meet some interesting people over a bowl. Green brings people together mayne. lol. Personal goal, (cop a similar spot before 25) lets see if I can pull it off. Hopefully the icebergs aren't too big.....ok.....no more titanic metaphors. High Life.

Christmas Gifts 2010 presents.......
Lookin ass nigga. LMAO!
Awww naw. Lol. Chi-town's own Hotstylez presents "Lookin ass nigga!" Yung Joc is on the remix. Woooooow.
"Joy Ride concert"
First of all, yea the picture is terrible, but I feel like the "realisim" in the quality of my photos makes it all the more actual. Lmao. Actually this is the best shot I could get of Flow and JV killing it on stage. The concert was put together at the dusable museum to showcase some of chicago's best. Problem was, location, transportation, promotion, ect.... It was straight though, still did the thing and obviously Flow shut it down. The lights looked so raw while she was performing. Extra official. Sidenote: Ok JV, ok. lol.

Where the sidewalk ends.....
There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends.

Although I have great respect for the accomplishments of Senator Clinton and I have personally worked with Senator Clinton successfully on issues concerning education, prison reform and poverty, I am now compelled by my own personal conscience to publicly state, "I support and endorse Barack Obama for President."
