Brand New Eyes

So Paramore (bomb ass band.....get familiar) is coming out with their 3rd studio album. And I have a feeling this bad boy is going to be the TITS! Their lead single "Ignorance" slaps you right in the face with a nice I DON'T GIVE A F$#K. Talk about a break up song, yeah its over when this joint is played. Brand New Eyes will be released September 29th, and I suggest if you're reading this that you go COP it, mmhhmmmm.  [Look for an album review in the near future my little gangbangers]

William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet

Everyone knows William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, sometimes referred to as the Tale of Two Star Crossed Lovers. Well lately they have been playing Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of the classic tale on HBO, and it got me to thinkin.......this thing is the TRUUUUTH! Baz Luhrmann's vision of a modern Romeo + Juliet was soooo skillfully crafted in that film. The way he portrayed "Swords" mentioned in the original tale, as GUNS in his version was brilliant. The updated/current fashion sense, cars, architecture, all of it modernized that movie in such a distinct way. The song selection (now you know Baz loves his MUSIC....MOULIN ROUGE anyone???) he used to get across the message of certain scenes, was memorable. The moment Romeo (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (played by my fave...Claire Danes) see each other for the first time.....and Des'ree is on stage at the party performing Kissing You, Ughhhh....CLASSIC. You could just see the look of love in their eyes. Now I know its just a movie but it almost makes you believe in love at first sight. For my generation I just can't see Shakespeare being too captivating, who wants to decipher what he is trying to say....really?! This modern portrayal of such a classic was a great way to breakdown the work of Art Shakespeare created. I don't know if love like this exists.....a love so great that without it you'd rather die?!?! Is that even a love one would want?! I don't know......but if I ever find out....I'll write about it, I promise ;)

U Only Have Yourself 2 Blame

I am so tired of alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the bitching. Gentlemen, the next one of you I hear going on & on about how women ain't shit (I'm using the word "women," some of u fine young men aren't that kind in choosing your words) and how chicks are grimey and blah blah blah, I'M GONNA FUCKING SNAP! Because you really only have yourself to blame! You choose the "Bad Bitch" in the club, chances are that broad don't cook NOR clean. You stay smashing random chicks, because you're a GUY and you can do that....but guys get reps too....& a good girl don't want a hoe ass man that all her girls have "Heard" about. But a jump off might find you VERY appealing. So basically your actions create your result.....act like a hoe ass dude....and u attract a hoe ass broad. Don't group all women into a single category of EVIL....if you're only attracting CRAZY, Dramatic, MOOCHIN' ass chicks, then maybe you need to reevaluate your motherfuckin self! The bad thing is sometimes a good woman will cross your path and you just don't know what to do.....so you know what happens?! YOU SCREW THE POOCH! Its a new day fellas....ur only getting one chance these days because NO woman wants to waste her time hoping that you will get your act together. U either come CORRECT off jump or do not come at all. And don't be mad if ol' girl is not sleeping with you off JUMP, if she says she doesn't want it to be like that then maybe she really sees something in you and wants it to be more than a physical thing....and you know what happens??? YOU FUCK THAT UP TOO! If you start spittin game to a chick and she's not breaking you off any, don't be mad because you know your man hit early....why are you even pressed about her if YOUR MAN HIT! Then you whine about females being GRIMEY! NIGGA YOU JUST WENT AFTER A CHICK YOU KNOW YOUR MAN SMASHED! Maybe YOU'RE grimey! Bottom line is stop bitchin'......if you really want a significant and sophisticated change in the "Relationship/Romantic" side of your life then YOU need to make it happen. Some of you really are worthy of a good woman, but you're selling yourselves short. AGAIN, not all of the time.....but sometimes you really only have yourself to blame!

BOW

Why do the worst rappers make the catchiest song? Seriously.....this phenomenon plagues me. Case in point....this V.I.C song "BOW". Catchy as all hell.....& it pisses me off!



"So I ask her what her name is, she said me...and who you going home wit, she said me" [V.I.C]
REALLY??? SHUT THE EFF UP DUDE

Couples Counseling: Me & Trey Songz

So Trey and I have been together since his first album.....I mean I spent money on him and everything but lately he's been letting me down. I mean I don't think he's doing the music for me any more....but, for all these *LUSTY* Broads out in these streets. I DON'T FEEL SPECIAL TREYYYYY! But on a serious note....here is how I feel about Trey Songz. My opinion is that the dude has a lot of talent....like A LOT! But when he came out he was so hungry, you could sense that urge to make it, that "I'm bigger than Petersburg" mentality. And with that fire this young man made a solid debut.....I Gotta Make It was a GOOOOD album. Nothing was too outlandish, all of the subject matter was that you would expect from a 20yr old young man. Making it in the world, dancing with shortie in the club, thinking about cheating, letting the girl get away, a fat ASS....blah blah blah! And I guess his subject matters have remained the same for the most part, but boy have the degrees of said subject matters gone to the EXTREMEEEEE. I mean now the songs are like scratching up my back, the neighbors know my name, you'll think I invented sex and the list goes on. Its just kind of disappointing because I saw him being like an Al Green of my generation, fun RnB music with a sexier side. But its gone boreder line raunchy.....but the ppl LOVE IT! Does this say something about our generation as a whole? I mean I know sex sells but my oh MY, does it have to be that much sex?! I know this means very little because all the females are gonna still scream "TREYYY TREYYYY" and all the dudes are gonna put the Ready album on when they wanna get it POP-INNNNN. I just saw something more in the GUY, and counseling isn't gonna do much....I think Trey and I will just have to go our separate ways :( smh.

Outasight

Richard Andrew. A normal enough name, I'd say. Outasight. Not your average moniker, but still they are One and the SAME. Outasight is an artist born and raised in New York. I want to describe him as a rapper[SLASH]singer, but that wouldn't do HIM justice. I think I'll call him a Soulful Spitta....yeah that's appropriate! Whether he is spitting a well written 16 or singing some type of ballad-Esque song, Outasight does it with soooooooooooo much SOUL. In interviews he has cited Stevie Wonder as one of his influences (how he came up with the name? that might have something to do with it, who KNOWS) and it definitely shows. His music is evidence in itself that he has been influenced by the sounds of Hip Hop and Soul. The first song I heard from Outasight was "Good Evening," a very catchy...fast paced tune, that immediately had me singing along...."Good Mornin' Good Evenin' I hope ya like DREAMIN." Once you get my shoulders moving and my head nodding.....you've won me over, and he did JUST THAT [plus he's easy on the EYES...Owww]! Since discovering the charismatic tunes of Outasight, I have copped his Radio New York LP and his From There To Here Mixtape. I would suggest that you cop them as well! He recently released a new single titled "Brand New Day" [its a selection in my iTouch music player, peep the sidebar]. He has also been recently featured on a Mick Boogie remix project called Re-Living Thing [check that out at ThePressPlayShow.com]

Nola Darling

I'm a blogger for myself, first and foremost.....but I keep the readers in mind too! Haahaa. AnyHOO....I've been adressed by ppl requesting more posts on relationships or to start addressing sex related topics. These aren't things that are in my daily train of thought, so I just don't blog about them OFTEN. BUT....a friend of mine also believed I should include more of these topics on Cop(e)acetic and in turn volunteered to address these issues. Because she is a free spirit and her opinions on these issues might be scrutinized bc she would be judged by societies DOUBLE STANDARDS that the BOTH of us think are unfair and WiZAck, she has decided to conceal her IDentity. You can just call her Nola....Nola Darling, after the beloved character in Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It [check the movie out if you haven't already]. So this is the beginning of the Nola Darling movement on Cop(e)acetic. If you have any questions or topics you would like Nola to discuss just send her a Dear Nola email [so we will know who u are addressing] to Copeacetic@gmail.com. Lets get this ball ROLLING! XoxoXo

Francis

I don't remember how I came across the musical greatness that is Francis and the Lights, but what I do know is that I'm very glad I DID! Francis and the Lights is a New York based band fronted by Francis Farewell Starlite [I've heard that the Lights are his band but also a reference to the lights behind them when the group performs]. If you like good quality music then you can appreciate this group. The instrumentation in their music is fresh and beautiful, allowing the sound of every song to help envision the very thoughts of Francis Starlite. The FUNK released by the guitar in their song Striking is magical.....I can't help but groove whenever I hear it. I've heard that their live performances are an experience in themselves. Soon, I hope I will be able to verify whether this is true or not [I'm sure its MORE than true]. If you want to learn more about Francis and the Lights go to http://francisandthelights.com/ or go to Blind I for a great interview. To get familiar with their FANTASTIC music you can go to http://francisandthelights.muxtape.com/

This is a video of Francis and the Lights performing some of A Modern Promise

The Climb

Music inspires.....because essentially, Music IS inspired. An artist does, sees or goes through something and then they put their experiences in the music. All ppl go through so many similar situations in life that eventually you are going to come across a song that SPEAKS directly to you. The song I will use as a prime example is The Climb by Miley Cyrus. Now I'm not saying this song speaks to me [yes I am! smh], but its soooooooooo inspirational. This song is just so good. I would advise that if anyone is going through a rough time that they listen to this song and get out of their slump. A good pat on the back can come from the strangest places, in this case......it comes from Hannah Montana! :)

Honorable Mention: So Small by Carrie Underwood [this is my Em eFFin JAM]

FINALLY

FINALLY.....I revamped this jawn.....and I'm gonna go INNNNNNNNNNNNN!
