c'mon son... stop doin that.

[drake6.jpg]

Dear Drake,
You're a vicious rapper and I have a feeling its not going to be too much longer until everyone realizes that. Your wordplay is phenomenal and I honestly believe you're just an overall talente dude. I'm going to keep supporting you and I hope you blow up soon. However. I'd really appreciate if you stopped making songs with Lil' Wayne. Put bluntly: he's trash... well except for like 10 songs where he's actually spitting, but that's only 10 out of like 300. A candle in the sun, dig? I happy whenever I see a new track put out by you but this Weezy F(ucks) Baby shit has got to stop. Please. Keep doing you thing, son.

creativity at its finest

I came across this video today and was pretty pleased with what I saw. This is a fan made video for Swagger Like Us and its put together really well. The movie and music video clips that were put in are good and relevant and the transitions are smooth for the most part. Overall, I thought it was decent.
I also saw the trailer for Lakeview Terrace for the first time today. Maybe its because I don't really watch tv too much anymore but I'm surprised I'm just now seeing this and it comes out in two weeks. None the less, it looks pretty ill so i'll be taking date applications til it drops. lmao.

i told you i got you.

My dude VJ has been hustlin lately tryna plan out this fashion show for Temple's Homecoming week. So if you live in Philly and you're at lest semi-attractive, you should come out to the model call tomorrow at 13th and Berks Mall.

Happy Birthday, MJ!

You're a creeper but its your birthday and that's kinda cool.
There was a very large portion of my life when I was obsessed with Michael Jackson's music, and therefore, I have a lot of really good memories that I associate with a lot of his songs.
Today he turns 50 years old.
That's a f**kin milestone, b.

Konnoisseur... A Demonstrated Lifestyle

*For some reason, memories of going to Philalive last semester reminded me of Dre's verse in Outkast's "Spottieottiedopaliscious":

"As the plot thickens it gives me the dickens
Reminiscent of Charles a li'l disco-tech
nestled in the ghettoes of Niggaville, USA
via (Philadelphaia, Pennsylvania). A li'l spot where
young men & young women go to experience
they first li'l taste of the nightlife.
Me? Well I've never been there... Well perhaps once,
But I was so engulfed in the (SoCo)
I never made it to the door. You speak of hardcore. "

7 YEARS?!

*Remember how surprised you were when you heard that s**t? Was I the only one who thought it was a rumor for like the first three days?

it's been real...

They're over. Just like that. It went by so fast. I've never enjoyed an Olympics so much before. Do they show reruns of the Olympics? I'm seriously hoping that they do.

future heart attack.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
Right now I'm in Pedestrian chillin with Don as we do each and every Sunday. I was looking around online and I saw something that looked almost as beautiful as it sounds. New T.I. track featuring (get this) Jay-Z. Kanye West. And Lil' Wayne. Wait wait wait... That's not it. One of my future ex-wives, the gorgeous MIA, murders the hook. I wish they had her saying more though. It's still vicious. The beat goes so hard, too. Don just told me to run it back. And I did with no hesitation. Damn this beat is crazy!!! Download it now. This s**t so ridiculous. Can't wait to overplay this.

my mistake.

Here's the video for "Green Light" by John Legend featuring Andre 3000. I gotta be honest: I really wasn't to beat for this song when it first came out. I don't know what it was but it wasn't doing it for me. So when I saw that the video was out I had actually completely forgotten about the song, until it started, then I remembered that I didn't like it. But I'm at work with two hours left on a Friday so I decided to just let it rock. Apparently I never listened to the whole thing before but I sat up in my chair when Dre spit his verse towards the end of the song. He's a beast. Its a mixture between how he carries himself, his on/off beat flow, and the s**t he says in his lines that makes him such a cool ass rapper. If you haven't heard it already, listen to his verse and you'll see what I mean.

viagra.

Couldn't post the song without putting up the picture. New Q-Tip ladies and gentlemen.

like i said...

Here is reason #378 why I'm marrying a woman from the DMV:

Look at it closely. You've seen that face before. That's gymnast Dominique Dawes who comes from none other than Silver Spring, MD. I used to have the meanest crush on her when she was big s**t during the 1996 Olympic's in Atlanta (which I went to) and I thought about her last night while I was watching Shawn Johnson win the gold medal for the women's balance beam after she made that Chinese girl fall with her mind. That's right.
Anyway, I googled Miss Dawe's to see if she was still sexy and she's not doing too bad. And you already know her body's on point.

yeah'doe.

This is the type of thing I like to see from time-to-time. S**t like this makes me happy. And I'm an easy pleaser. Or at least I think so.
Enjoy.

the illest.

Good Morning .

versatility.

Damn son...

*I just watched this video with my boss and in tears. Watching her laugh actually made me laugh harder, and then I realized that I didn't put the necessary emphasis on how funny this video clip is. Its hilarious. Jamie is so accurate with his impersonations and the fact that comedy and acting is how he's paid his bills all of these years and he's actually an extremely gifted piano player and singer is definitely admirable. And its not like we all didn't know that he could sing or play the piano by now but I'm still impressed by just how talented he is. Anyway, the clip is great. Leave a comment. Tell me what you think.

in due time.

Around this time last week, the video for "You're Everything" by Bun B featuring Officer Rick Ross, David Banner, and 8Ball & MJG was on everyone's blogs. For one reason or another, I didn't pay it any attention. I guess I assumed everyone was posting it because it was some new s**t and that's it. Well I was watching TV the other day and the video came on and I was blown away. For those of you who have been checking in with KTH for a while now, you'll remember how much I was gas'in Bun B a couple months ago. He's definitely one of my favorite rappers. This song goes hard. I've been blasting it in my car since Friday. The Jodeci sample is what makes the song for me though. It's so perfect.

Bun B - You're Everything feat. Rick Ross, David Banner, 8Ball & MJG (zshare)


In case you were wondering, this is the Jodeci song they sampled the hook from. Its called "Cry For You" and I don't remember it at all. Shame on me, right?


Not that you care or anything but this is my favorite Jodeci song of all time... EVER! Unfortunately, to those of you who know me well, this will come as no surprise. Anywho, Raekwon and Ghostface rip the s**t outta this track, as they've done many others. Yeah, this is my s**t though. I love this song.


I may have posted this video before. I don't remember. This is a classic Jodeci moment.
