Tweet "Beautiful" *Throwback*

This song has brought several good men to mind...but most recently, its been one person in particular...sort of

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 3

There backk!
I wonder what the new cast members Cynthia Bailey and Phaedra Parks will bring to the table. Phaedra, pictured on the far left, is an entertainment lawyer who is married to a younger man who apparently spent time in prison for a white collar crime. Cynthia, wearing the purple dress, is a model and is also friends with NeNe. On this season, she will give her boyfriend a marriage ultimatum...I am excited for this season, these ladies never let me down and the newbies shouldn't either.

"Heavy In Your Arms" Florence and the Machine

This is from the Eclipse soundtrack.



I was a heavy heart to carry.
My beloved was weighed down.
My arms around his neck,
My fingers laced to crown.
I was a heavy heart to carry.
My feet dragged across the ground.
And he took me to the river.
Where he slowly let me drown.

"I Hope She Cheats On You (With a Basketball Player)" Marsha Ambrosius

I don't know about anybody else, but I have never wished an ex "the best" with his future relationships, somehow I feel I'm probably not alone on this...

Take Time

I didn't write this but I stumbled upon this gem, I really like it and I think the message is one we should all strive to live by.

Take time to think, It is the source of all power.
Take time to read, It is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to play, It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take time to be quiet, It is the opportunity to seek God.
Take time to be aware, It is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to love and be loved, It is one of God's greatest gift.
Take time to laugh, It rejuvenates the soul.
Take time to be friendly, It is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream, It is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray, It is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to give, It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work, It is the price of success.
Remember, there is a time for everything.

I was at the gym today...

and this song got me amped for some strange reason...This song is hot fire and he's clearly talking about me so you should listen to it.

It's the price we pay, I guess that's the reason
Why my grandma sang, we all need Jesus

True Blood *Lafayette*

Lafayette is my favorite character on True Blood. I never thought I would be so addicted to a show...

Kanye West "I Am A New Man" Singapore Performance

I don't know that Kanye West has any more "power" than any other famous celebrity, but I guess the song "Power" is more of him realizing the magnitude of what he does and how his negative actions can impact his own career, simply because he is such a mega star. He just needs to learn to have some control over his actions, although his "F the system attitude" is the reason why many of us love him. Idk, he is who he is and I still love it.

Island Tune *Throwback* Gyptian "Serious Times"

"See you wake up this mornin', you betta give thanks, you don't know if your gonna live to see tomorrow"

The Roots "Clock With No Hands"

I was bumping this song today while running errands. <3 it

holding back tears
Looking over mad years worth of photographs
Pictures of some places I ain't never going back
Some people I used to love, why I ain't show them that?"

*Classic* Robin Thicke ft. Faith "Got to Be Down"

I used to listen to this song everyday at one point

Erykah Badu "Annie Don't No Wear No Panties"

I just really like this performance by Sarah Bellum.

"If This is Love" The Foreign Exchange

You don't know its a dream

You don't know anything you just know that it feels right,
thats when you realize
its true.

YouTube - Wendy Williams On Ochocinco Reality Show BLACK GIRLS - FUTURISTIC BLOGGER: ""

This clip leaves out the part where Wendy brought up his 3 baby mommas...all of which are black...I guess that was supposed to make things better. I feel him though, everyone has preferences, I'm not mad.

This Dudes Pretty Dope

He basically is showcasing hip hop songs sampled from Michael Jackson

Throwback: Lauryn Hill "The Sweetest Thing"

"Happiness" The Foreign Exchange

First Album from The Foreign Exchange

SOLD!

This post is devoted to entertainers who have simply SOLD OUT over the years. Let me make it clear that there is a big difference between evolving and selling out; artists such as Kanye West, Jay-Z, John Legend etc. have changed over time, but they have still stayed true to the essence of who they are throughout their evolution (my opinion).
Other artists have simply become completely different people (i.e. different image, different sound, changed their core audiences etc.) Here are examples of artists who have made this "transition". Now just because they have sold out does not mean that I love them any less, I just love them differently now LOL. Here are the first two offenders

Yael Naim "New Soul " Excerpt

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

I'm a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

Two Cent$

I recently watched a video on Youtube where Diddy addresses Lil Kim's disappointment in him for working with Nicki Minaj on the song "Hello, Good Morning". There is a line from the song where Nicki says "Did I kill the Queen, not Alexander McQueen" and Lil Kim took this statement as a direct insult. Diddy claims that Nicki Minaj has never made comments that specifically address Lil Kim and is basically saying that Kim is "ODeeing" on him just for making a song with Nicki.
Diddy is full of total B.S. and so is anyone else who is acting like Nicki has never taken shots at Kim. If you listen to some of Nicki's past songs, she clearly takes shots at Kim and Foxy. She has talked about Foxy's fake West Indian accent and has referred to both of them as irrelevent old b*****s. I don't respect Diddy for making it seem like Kim is imagining the shots fired from Nicki. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Ms. Minaj but she has taken shots at Kim and Foxy...in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with that. If Nicki needed to take shots at current rap chicks to carve her own way, its all legal in love and hip hop...she just needs to own it.

Ode to Ginuwine

I think a lot of people forget about this dude.

You gotta love Nicki!

Ok, Kimmy...your starting to look like Mama Kris...better ease off the botox boo boo. Still love her though.

Geez! Buckshots and balding?! Black women, I know we love our weaves but please take care of "what lies beneath"...Terrible, Just terrible!

Rick Ross - Free Mason feat. Jay-Z

Guess this is something like Jay-Z's response to all the free masonry and devil worshiping accusations.

Maybach Music Pt.III Rick Ross, T.I., Erykah Badu, Jadakiss

Not sure where the proclaimed Ricky Rozay is tryna take this whole Maybach music thing, but this song is pretty decent.

Trey Songz "Infidelity"

This song actually gave me a new found respect for this dude. Its kind of old now but I still really feel this song. Whatchu think?

Had a nice walk around my neighborhood to this song... "Today (Earth Song)" Erykah Badu

"Victory" Nas, John Legend and DJ Khaled

DJ Khaled annoys the shit out of me but this song is cool.

Cassidy ft. John Legend "Searching"

John Legend went to college in Philly so I assume thats why he has this strong connection with Philly artists...even Cassidy...respect!

Cassidy ft. John Legend "Celebrate"

John Legend and Alicia Keys Collaboration with Swizz Beatz?!

So John Legend and Alicia Keys have apparently collaborated on a song that will appear on Swizz Beats album. The song is called "I'm a Star". Swizz believes the song is a great track but I am not too sure... A song with Alicia and John would seemingly be a match made in heaven, but Swizz Beats definitely f***s up the flow. I pray he isn't on the hook...hopefully he just helped produce the beat...barely

A more intimate look @ The Foreign Exchange

As many of you may already know or can tell from my previous postings, the Foreign Exchange is one of my favorite bands/group.

Ok, so its pretty hot outside but I'm determined to not let that deter me in my quest to find something to do in this whack ass village they call Lawrenceville!

Drake "Fear"

Stolen Goods! lol, I had to give this song a couple of listens before I was "On it". Random hot track by Drake.

"Dear God 2.0" The Roots

I really like this song and video. What do you guys think?

Last Night in Vegas

Enjoyed my time in the city of Sin. NYC bound tomorrow and I can't wait, the West coast is really great but I'm a Brooklyn girl...what can I say.

Jamaican for Honkeys starring comedian "Trixx"

Yea, so this post is a bit random but the comedian, Trixx, who plays the Jamaican in the video is a pretty funny guy. He was the host of a fashion show I help produce back in my undergraduate days, and he was, by far, one of the best hosts of the annual fashion show. He's also a pretty cool guy in person. Shout out to Mr. Agyemang! aka Trixx. Hope you enjoy?

The Roots ft. John Legend "The Fire"

Jazmine Sullivan "Holding You Down"

Hmmm...is Jazmine back with this one? I don't know yet.

Twilight Eclipse

Sooo...as much as I hate to admit it, I have joined the masses in their love for the Twilight saga. Twilight was ok, New Moon was pretty good, but Eclipse was just great lol. I think the film gave us a perfect blend of the love story that we all wanted to see take place, battles, the joint forces of natural enemies to fulfill a common goal etc etc blah blah blah...I should probably start reading the Twilight books because I hear there really good, and im sure the book is way better than the movie, as most books are. What did you guys think of the flick?

Cuteness Erykah and her daughter Puma

"Everybody Knows" John Legend

Don't know how I missed this video.

Throwback: "Bump It" Erykah Badu

Whoa! Can you say Antisocial Personality Disorder?

Sometimes I just like to do hoodrat things with my friends...
The first time I watched this video, I won't lie, I was shocked, and then laughed hysterically. I couldn't fathom how a child could do this and not show any kind of remorse or guilt at the after effects. Than I saw an episode of the Boondocks where Aaron McGruder takes this real life story and creates a satirical cartoon about the situation and how things could potentially end up of this kid, and children of the like, aren't helped. Being a school psychology student, I am also aware that I may encounter children just like this child in my practice.
Anyone who watches this video needs to realize that there is something seriously wrong with this kid and that this situation should not be taken lightly. The fact that he broke the law is one thing, but from the video, it seems that he has little regard for the lives that could have been taken because of his "joyride". He seems to feel no guilt! This is the scary part. He's only 8 year old and there are no tears or anything! His only concern is having someone help his grandmother pay for the damage that has been done, and honestly, I don't think he's very concerned with that. All in all, this kid needs serious intervention from a psychologist because his behavior will only get worse as he gets older and if he is not helped.

Drake "Over"

For some reason I never like seeing Drake in video's. He always looks kind of corny to me...but I can't hate on raw talent.
