She's been my sidekick since I was 4, and now that she's legal.... IT'S ALL OVER, BEETCHEZ.
You are my heart and soul. I'm beyond proud of everything you've accomplished and I can't wait to see the storms you will cause in the years to come. I'm here for you!!!!!
General Electriks "Take Back The Instant" has officially been put on my "repeat" playlist. It's one of those songs that make you feel like there's progression in music today...
Directed by Arno Salters... peep the site for more awesomeness.
Ah, the Two Way. The little instrument that helped the text messaging phenomenon skyrocket into existence. When I was in 9th grade, this was how you were mackin it to the girls.. or boys. This was also how we cheated our asses off and plotted how to leave school early without getting caught. Because of this little guy, my monthly bill went through the mufuggin roof.
Eh, who cares. Text messages were [and still are] the way to
stealthily express what's on your mind without the physical or aural
Lalah RT'd me last night! I replied to her about her concert at Berklee back in '05; At the end of the concert, during the final jam, Miss Hathaway sang a chord... as in more than one note at the same time.... Seriously, we ALL freak the eff out. It was UNREAL.
Here's a little video showcasing the beastiality that is Lalah Hathaway...
[Marcus, how old is that hat?!]
Gosh, she sounds so much like Donny... ::sigh::
Now that I think about it, Jazmine Sullivan has a little Lalah in her voice, no?
I saw Melanie Fiona live at the Delano during WMC back in March and she KILLED it. I was an instant fan. She was beyond charismatic and the vocals were on point to say the least.
Here's the video for her first single, "Give It To Me Right"... her album The Bridge is coming soon! Can't wait. We need more authenticity in this game...
This album dropped back in 2002 and was definitely a boundary-pusher for Hip Hop. With it's entrancing progressive-electro feel and lyrical content, not everyone was feelin its ambition. It's hard for some people to openly accept change and innovation. But you know Common... always on his real shit tip ;) Features include greats like Dilla, James Poyser, Bilal, Prince, The Neptunes, Cee-Lo, Jill Scott, & Erykah Badu just to name a few.
Been bumpin this all day. Perfect music for packing up...
