Let say Hip-Hop was rushed to the ER and hooked up to a Heart Rate monitor....if Soujah Boy is the flat line going across the monitors screen, then Kid Cudi is that last minute Peak that makes you say "Wheewwww, that was CLOSE!" If you don't know who KiD CuDi is, then I'm glad that I can be the one to introduce him to you. He was born Scott Mescudi in Cleveland Ohio and is quite the cutie pie, if I don't say so myself....and if you read my earlier post you know I feel that the game has been lacking cuteness LATELY! He has a mixtape out with Plain Pat and the 10Deep clothing label. The title of the mixtape is A Kid Named Cudi and it is pure HOT fire, and FREE! I have listened to the mixtape almost everyday since I first downloaded it, sometimes multiple times a day because I just can't get enough of it. I felt like I liked it too much too soon so I had my friend listen to it just to make sure it really was that good and I wasn't just into because I felt like I was supposed to be (I mean the nigga has gotten big ups from Kanye and Q-tip....that's saying something) But nope....it really was that good. He rhymes (well!), sings(brotha can carry a tune...he ain't Phonte'....but he's acceptable) and he has something to actually SAY! Clap it up for KiD CuDi or as he often refers to himself as: Mr.Solo Dolo. For more info on my future husband and for the mixtape download go to his website HERE.

Mr.Bad Timing
Timing is KEY! This rings true for so many aspects of life. Let me tell you for which aspect bad timing sucks majorly......RELATIONSHIPS. Have you ever met someone who either prior to your meeting they just got out of a long term relationship or you're the one coming out of some type of situation. So immediately you're just like.....great.....a new friend that will only be just that, a FRIEND. As soon as you see all the baggage: Crazy ex-girlfriend, recent bad memories, etc. you think to yourself....I ain't carrying that SHIT! It wouldn't be so bad if he were just some average schmoe, oh noooooo that would be to fair! Mr.Bad Timing is more than likely PERFECT. Nice structure: tall and dark, short and light...whatever you prefer. Has a nice style: dunks and recs, prada and gucci.....to each his own. Basically what you were looking for in your next RELATIONSHIP.....you just found in your new AWESOME(sense the sarcasm?) FRIENDSHIP......THUMBS UP! No....thumbs fucking DOWN! I mean new friends are great, but a new LOVE is soooooooooo much better! Its a friend with super powers...it can do other things a regular friend CAN'T or maybe SHOULDN'T do. It's a SUPERFRIEND! So you hang out with your new great friend hoping that some random eclipse, or meteor landing happens like in the movies and comics and BANG....your regular friend is now SOOOOOO much MORE. You just gotta ride out that wave and either two things can happen: 1. You have over time developed a great friendship with Mr.Bad Timing or 2. Mr.Bad Timing turns into Mr.Perfect Timing and it's HEY LOVE!
The Closet Hoe
I love reggae, I really do! But reggae is the closet hoe of music genres. She is a freak on the low, and she hides it WELL! If you listen closely to some reggae songs they are saying some NASTY shit up in there. For example...the unedited version of "Dutty Wine" says something about fuckin in the water and fuckin in the sea, fuckin in the bushes and fuckin in the tree. If I could use one word to describe those crass lyrics it would be "Ugggghhhhh." Who is fuckin in the damn wilderness? I mean come on people lets be civilized and get yo ass in a room! DAMN. And then he proceeds to say that if you are fuckin in a bed then you are NOT...I repeat...NOT fuckin him! Well GOOD, because you sir are classless and untamed. We are not wild animals which means we need to be indoors if such acts are going to take place BUDDY! Another song I could use as an example would be "Hot Fuk." Enough said....I think. Basically the lyrics go Hot fuk Hot fuk Hot fuk ai ai ai ai ai! Really? Thats it? Yesssss.....they get straight to the point. Its no wonder the people in all those youtube videos at reggae concerts or a basement party with elephant man playing in the background always look like they are having straight PRISON SEX on camera. MY EYES ARE BURNING! So....just in case you weren't aware of her tendencies, I just dragged Reggae's hoe ass out the closet. I still bang wit her tho.....that's not gonna change! Hahaha.
*Remember*
Everyday you wake up is already a good day, but it's the shit that happens during the day that determines if it will continue to be a good one. You either have a good day or a bad day, so always expect one or the other, and when you have a bad day just think to yourself "there's always tomorrow." I know that you go through the same shit...different day but you've got to believe that a change is gonna come and it may have to start with you!
Its ALL Entertainment @ The End Of The Day
Why oh Why are you so surprised is the question that plagues me in my mind? Yes, that rhymed...and why might you ask....because I felt like it dammit! In this post I would like to address the issue of Rick Ross being a badge in his past life. I don't understand why people were so surprised to find out that Rick Ross isn't really as hard as he portrays himself to be, but I'm sure these are the same people who think his real name is RICK ROSS! It's not, by the way.
I mean are you surprised that Denzel Washington doesn't really have glasses and red hair, and doesn't wear a bow tie? He only played Malcolm X....that's not who he really is. Are you gonna be surprised if you run into Wesley Snipes and he doesn't have fangs and a sword strapped to his back? NO...because it's only entertainment. I watched Plies give an interview one time and wasn't sure if that was the same nigga that raps about "Bust it Babies" and what not, b/c he sounded mighty intelligent! But then again its a job. And most of these entertainers are very good at their JOB. David Banner graduated from Southern University in Louisiana, was the President of the Student Government Association and Pledged Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. And you would probably never know that from listening to "Play." Ignorance, unfortunately, sells in todays society...so even if its out of an artist's character I'm sure they will play the part to make the dollar. There are some out there who aren't willing to compromise their art to make a quick buck, but these quality people are only a sample in the population (Statistics, shout out to Mrs.Coccimiglio). So we take what we get....a bunch of actors that RHYME (and some not very well).
Why Wouldn't I Care?
"Why do you care what people think?"
I hate that phrase, deeeeeep down in my heart. I think that some people who use it are only doing so because it makes them seem less affected by what people think about them, they're cooler because they don't give a damn. WRONG! I had a friend (we're not friends b/c of this very phrase, sort of?) who got a lot of attention from females EVERYWHERE he went, but him and I had our own special friendship, relationship whatever, so he never treated me like those groupies and we were really playful and affectionate with each other. But when we were around people who didn't know us I didn't want to act like that and he just COULDN'T understand why! I told him that if you attract groupie bitches everywhere you go and then someone who doesn't know how you and I roll sees me and you all hugged up and playing then I just look like another groupie! "Why do you care what people think?" Ummm......well if I'm not a groupie, then why would I want someone to think that I am? DUH.....I DON'T! First impressions are everything and as HUMANS we tend to be judgemental, it may not be intentional but we just can't help it. So why wouldn't I want to censor my actions around people who don't know? It's not being fake, its just how I act if I don't know you, then if you want to get to know me you will learn more and more about me as time goes on. If you are my friend I could care less what you think about me b/c by now you know me, we're homies but a stranger is a different story. I doubt anyone wants to be portrayed as something that they aren't, so at the end of the day we all probably care, and since when did caring become a bad trait?
*New Mu$ik*
I have new music in my PLAYER! Yaaaay to that. I made it at www.myflashfetish.com and stored my files using fileden.com. It's easy to do and pretty niffty as well! Enjoy the playlist. XOXO
Stick 2 Your Own Kind
Now....when I say stick to your own kind I don't mean race, religion, things like that! But what I do mean is if you know that your caliber as a human is LOW....then you need to find someone with an equal measurement. I'm so tired of ain't shit nigga's trying to match themselves with bout' shit females. Off jump we don't know you ain't bout shit.....so then the only one shocked is us because your foolish ass knew you won't bout shit. Its not fair for a caring, selfless, loving woman to be approached by a poser, a dude who acts as if he's a good catch when in all actuality if you could see who he really was inside you would toss his ass BACK into the shitty pond he came from! If ol' boy is a good enough actor and you cont. to see him then every engagement after the first meeting is just a step closer to uncovering the truth. In a sense you're just wasting that person's time and you would have been better off telling them for the giddy up, b/c now they're PISSED! Uggghhh! The same goes for ladies as well, if you know you are a gold diggin', can't cook, no car havin' heffa then go to the club and talk to the nigga that throws money out into the crowd. That's perfect bait for chicks like you and chances are he ain't bout shit EITHER. But how dare that same chick go to the good happy hour spots and try to push up on the well-educated, fly but not flashy, baby smooth skin havin' brotha by the bar. I wish we had electric collars we could put on you ain't shit people out there so that if you come within 5 feet of the bout shit people you get ZAPPED! You either need to upgrade to being about something or stick with your own kind.
10 yrs.....and still 1 of the BEST
I just thought to myself, whenever Aquemini was released, I'll do an anniversary blog about it. And what do you know...I looked it up and Aquemini was released September 29th, 1998, marking this past Monday as its 1o year anniversary! POP CHAMPAGNE! To this day (even though I doubt I had the album on release day, so from the day I first heard it to this day sounds more appropriate) I still listen to Aquemini like its a current album. It's still seems so relevant and its just all around GOOD music. Good beats, lyrics, guest appearances....pretty much everything! Which is probably why this is one of the few albums that has received the very much sought after "5 mic" rating from the Source magazine. "Folk in ya face you're a supastar, niggaz hang around cuz of who ya are" from LIBERATION rings in my head over and over anytime I think about Aquemini as well as those beginning drums and horns of SPOTTIEOTTIEDOPALISCIOUS, I could go on and on. If you are reading this and you don't own this album....better your LIFESTYLE and go get it, HELP ME HELP YOU! This is one of the best hip-hop albums ever and I'm just going to end by saying "Now who else wanna Fuck wit' Hollywood Cole?"
Your Faults Will Not Be Mine
I recently had a revelation...
I will not allow the Faults of other men aid in the creation of my Own.
I was raised by one of the nicest women a person could meet. Its in my nature do what is asked of me. I think I'm a pretty a good friend on my good days and still a decent one on the bad one's. So why should I compromise how I was raised to be because other people may not do things the same way? If someone doesn't call me as often, I don't think I should have to lessen how much I want to talk to them. Whether they are a friend or more than that until you tell me otherwise I am going to treat you as such. I know what it feels like to go to sleep, wake up the next day and no longer be able to talk to someone you talked to almost everyday. I love people....I love talking to people and I will not lessen myself as a person b/c other people don't value the simple communications we have with one another. You never know who is having a terrible day and if that one random phone call from you could make them feel all the more better, then maybe people should start picking up the phone or dropping an email every now and again....just because you can. We're not all promised tomorrow so I'm gonna just say HI today, b/c that's just who I am and I'm not gonna change, but maybe you should?
