......but you might be able to listen to it on the Radio! So you know I love music.....and I feel that when I have knowledge of greatness I should bestow it upon the masses. If you didn't know by now the great Nasir Jones aka Nas put out a new album out recently and it is Untitled. This is a very politically charged album, so I suggest you find a beret, pump your fist in the air and VIBE! Another good album that dropped not too long ago was the Roots' LP Rising Up. As you should know by now, if you REALLY read my blog, I am a TRUE Roots fan. So of course in my EARS this album can do no WRONG. This album also has some political content which is very relevant for today's times, ya dig? Everyone should go pick up these 2 albums and better themselves!
The Revolution will NOT be TELEVISED......
Can you blame em'
"I miss you..."
"No...you don't"
Can you blame a person for testing their new "someone" in their life, if their past "someone's" turned out to be dishonest? If you meet a new guy/gal and the one before you was a cheater, then this person is well in their right to be a little weary of ya'lls new found relationship. But the question is how long can you keep taking their tests or little quizzes to show how dedicated you may be? I think that with people like this you have to be patient. If you feel that they aren't worth going through the ringer for then DON'T, because all you're doing is wasting your's and their time. Their not going to just up and trust you, so the questioning and second guessing IS going to happen. But if you feel that this is someone you want to be with then you'll take it all in stride and pass their tests with flying colors, no answer will be the wrong one because you're heart is in the right place. You know that you would never want to hurt them or cause them not to trust you. Eventually they will see this in you and they won't have to question any more, and you won't have to have an answer because they'll just know. So when those two lines from the beginning of this post come up.....add a third one "I really do miss you," in time they'll get the point.
-Titles-
"I don't like titles..."
What does that statement mean really. Your name is a title, your job position is a title, you being a son or a daughter/someone's child is in itself a TITLE. So why are some people, who have been given titles ALLLLLL their life, all of a sudden opposed to titles? Its because it's not necessarily the titles that people are opposed to but the stipulations that generally come with the titles. People feel that while seeing someone casually, if they then take it to the next level and start referring to each other as "my girlfriend" or "my boyfriend" then all HELL breaks loose! It's like "Oh...so we're a couple now right? (b/c you weren't before?) Well then you need to be doing this, and doing that and no more of this and that shit ain't gonna fly no more B!" That's where the fear comes from. Why do things have to change, the only thing that should really change is what you introduce each other to your friends and family members as. The way you act shouldn't change for the worse but for the better. I don't know why title's make people feel like they need to demand more from the other person. If they weren't doing enough before then why did you let it go this far? You think the title is gonna upgrade them? Wrong! And you're only making it worse! In the end titles aren't the enemy, but its whether or not you let the title go to you head and YOU become the enemy. I'm sure some people are reading this and wondering well if title's don't change anything then why do you need them? Its just easier to have them, especially when someone asks "so who is this young lady/man?" oh this is my friend ______(<--insert name HERE). When in all actuality they are more than your friend and you wanna SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS b/c you just think that they are soooooo adorable, blah blah blah WHATEVER. Plus if you did with all your friends what you do with that extra special one....well then that would make you a Blazing WHORE! Whether it be your boo, shuga puga, sweetie pie, wifey, hubby, main 1, mister or misses......maybe that person wants to give you a title to let them know you mean more to them than just another friend.....they can make a friend every day they live if they want to, but they won't make one like you! Warms your heart doesn't it? Ewwww.....lame!
Is a Change gonna come? I hope you're right SAM!
Why are people so hesitant towards change? Especially when it comes to relationships, whether they be friendships, partnerships, or intimate relationships......people just go off of the way they've always been and decide that's how its always gonna be. If change wasn't necessary we'd all be babies....forever....whaaaack! So apparently change is inevitble and people should just embrace it because fighting it would be like dodging the wind, you can't really see it coming it just happens....and if I see you trying to avoid it I'll just stare at you and ask "what the fuck are you doing?" People have standards or rules & regulations about how they manage their relationships but don't you think these should alter towards the different people that you encounter in your life. If you are a person who doesn't like long distance relationships but you meet someone you really like who lives quite a distance from you, are you going to let your little rule get in the way of a potential kick ass relationship or change the rules? One little adjustment could change your whole future. I feel that people just get so stuck on their ways that they sometimes miss out on the good good that's going on around them. We've all gotta change sometime....if we didn't then it wouldn't even be an option.....now would it?!
U can't fake this ISH...
No matter how much we love them, some of our favorite artists have made it big without actually possessing talent. For example: Mary J. Blige....loved by many, from all different walks of life. I heard her concerts are really good, but it's no big secret that Mary can't sing....she can SCREAM, but that's not necessarily singing..now is it? Another SUPER...I repeat...SUPER STAR, Madonna can NOT sing....never could and probably never will seeing as how she is old as balls! But people would kill to see a Madonna show. The woman is an ICON for pete's sake! But I guess people like that can get away with lacking such a major skill because they posess so many others. But let me tell you something you can't fake....COUNTRY! You can't fake country in the least bit! If you want to be a country singer you need to have some pipes on you. Why is this....I'm not really sure, maybe it's because they're telling such a dramatic heartfelt story ALLLLLL of the time, it's like their listeners have to feel them. No swanky dance moves are gonna make them feel the song if the voice behind it all doesn't make them visualize the story in their own mind! I have heard artists from almost all genre's of music that lack the actual ability to sing. Rihanna had to grow on me, Ke Ke Cole is a mini Mary J, Fall Out Boy is TERRIBLE live, and the list can go on an on BUT.......what you will fail to find on that list is a COUNTRY artist. Shania, Carrie, Rascall Flats, Garth...............these moFo's can SAAAAAANG! So I will always believe that there are many things that you can skate by and fake but Country music just ain't one of em'!
I really want to see your degree?
Who decided it was a good idea to have Tyra "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor" Banks giving out advice to people. I know this broad probably has her own demon's to deal with. I mean even Oprah brings people with REAL degrees and REAL experiences to handle her guests. But ooooohhhh noooooo....not on Tyra's show! This Bitch gives her OWN expert advice. The only thing she is an expert at is fucking other celebrities, shitty acting, and wearing underwear on a runway. Now when it comes to real issues that are affecting people in the world, I'm just guessing that Tyra is the last person people think to get an opinion from. And then the broad has the nerve to be judgemental and shit, she be on her show telling her GUESTS that they really have problems, how they should and should not act! Bitch WHO ARE YOU? The only problem those guests really have is thinking that Tyra Banks is going to have the answer to all their problems and if it don't have anything to do with ASS & TITTIES....then that chick is about to be as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop! I used to like Tyra when she first started the ANTM series but when she started harping on Danielle's southern accent one season (Like her monkey ass won't from the hood somewhere in Cali), I lost all respect for her. YOU....YOU miss Thang are the one who believes that a southern accent has an ignorant connotation...I never put the two together and still don't. Tyra is a prime example of when someone needs to be told to "Sit down Hoe!" But then again this is the opinion of one SuperHOE...I mean Super Model. And until I see her degree....her opinion means LITTLE to ME!
Sidenote: She will NEVER be the next Oprah, broad ain't even the next Ricki Lake( I miss her!)
I'm not sensitive.....you're just a DICK
I hate being called sensitive....because I'm faaaaaaaaaaaaaar from it. The only people that call me sensitive are usually ASSHOLES, and they only call me sensitive because their dick's who don't want to come to terms with the fact that they are such a thing. It's so much easier in a situation where someone gets offended, for the offender to say that the offendee is sensitive, basically placing all of the wrong doing on the victim. "Oh no, I'm not being the biggest dick in the world, you're just being sensitive or emotional....what's wrong with YOU?" Umm...no Bitch, what is wrong with you? You actually have 60 seconds to come to the realization that I am not sensitive and that you just had a real prick moment, and if time runs out and you haven't done so then I will proceed to show you how the opposite of sensitive I REALLY AM by condemning your whole existence! Watch who you call sensitive or watch who you're being a dick to.....you might have just offended the first person that will make you cry in a VERY LONG time!
Peace&Blessings
