Inspiration!!!

What inspires people?? it all depends on who you are!! The Stuff that inspires me is what makes me who I am. When I listen to music, when I see art, when I see a person's life and how they got to were they are, The Journey to success. When I see art it makes me thing of everything from my sister and how F'in talented she is and how much I love her work and how I'm always gonna be her biggest supporter. To the type of life I can life around beautiful art Galleries in NY and Paris. To something as simple as the Brush strokes of the painting. Life is filled with inspiration, I'm just trying to soak it all in, Lately I've been watching Video's of Ryan Leslie make beautiful beats and I saw one were he was getting into a BAD ASS Mercedes Benz jeep? in NY and I was just thinking to my self how bad ass it would be to live out there and live my life and just do what I love, the only problem is I don't know what that is. Im constantly changing what I think and how I see things from books I've read to music i listen to. I've changed a lot just keeping in on the stage of music. Before when i was younger I would make fun of my sister's music. I would make jokes of how the song went, the whole 9..put it this way enough to call me a Douche Bag. lol But the thing was that I actually liked all the songs she played, well most of them. So I would make fun of music I actually liked, I think it was because I was Introduced into music by NaS(not literally cuz when I was younger I herd a lot of Jazz with my dad when he would drive my sister and I to school, but I got into like herd it on my Walkman, pre ipod days) SO I guess I thought I couldnt like it, which is pretty whack if you ask me. So no I'm more open to music cuz I actually liked so what the hell was I doing? makes no sense. I contribute a lot of me being open and just listening to music I like or like art I think it dope to my sister and just experiences of live. Even performances, like a performance I saw with my best friend that one LA night in the DARK!! =] life changing experiences like that keep you open to the World of Creativity for ever, Thanks KanYe. You see it doesn't matter how long it takes ya to have an open mind. It took me 17 years how long will it take you???


keep your minds open and your eyes open for inspiration

I dont care what anyone says He deserved to win that slam dunk competition hands down!! yea Howard dunked on a 12ft. rim. which was dope to, but nate jumped over Howard.. I think it hurt him that it looked to easy for him.. I think he could do 13ft or 14ft cuz @ 12 it looked tooo easy for HIM!! congrats Nate u won and jumped over superman, kryptonite finally prevailed lol..SEE that's why Batman's better he would never turn his back to the competition lmao

whooooaa !!! this looks sexy!!!


wow i must say this SK09 looks really nice (i didn't mean it LX , i still love you.......for now) lol
I've had a SK for a while now maybe for like 4 years or 5? something around that number. i started off w/ the sidekick 2, then the LX i missed the 3 ...I was going threw some hard time ya dig. lol
I really like the look of this, it looks very business like. With the other sidekick it always seemed as gadget only the youth of America would have...most adults stayed w/ there blackberries. I can see adults txting on this, if they can figure out how it works... lol u know how adults are they just don't wanna change with the times. Until some huge "evil Robot who's eating oatmeal" (thanks for that one LUPE) comes after us and forces us to learn how to use the technology we have today.. lol good thing I'm good with technology.. I don't wanna get smashed by some cool big ass RObots. .. like how I threw robots in the mix for no reason... what up LUPE I love robots to. lol
all in all this SK looks dope and I'll be looking forward to blogging on it in the future..
keep your minds open!!!
peace out EVIL OATMEAL EATING ROBOT'S

POETRY PART I :If I Fail, By Tupac Shakur

if in my quest 2 achieve my goals
I stumble or Crumble and lose my soul
those that knew me would easily co-sign
there was never a life as hard as mine
no father-no money-no chance and no guide
I only follow my voice inside
if it guides me wrong and i dont win
I'll learn from mistakes and try 2 achieve again



It's something new i thought of doing on my blog.. i was reading "The Rose that grew From Concrete" and i thought id share some of my fav. ones ... hope u like em, to who ever's reading

The Cool vs. The Carter III / Random

After seeing the Grammies and watching my favorite artist Lupe lose on many accounts to Lil Wayne, it got me upset. Not because I hate Lil Wayne and he sucks, I actually like his music, it just doesn't compare to the concepts and lyrical content that Lupe Fiasco Blesses us all with. Well for those who actually listen. Lil Wayne has "swagger" and he's a very hot ticket today he's doing the whole Jay-Z think not writing anything down, and then you have Lupe Fiasco, an artist who says himself that he doesn't think he's very good but is delivering music that has a message and has very interesting concepts and presents himself in a way that depicts Hip-Hop in the correct light. Yea I don't know Wayne and he might be more that what he shows the world but when I see all the people who like his music i just see people who like him because he's popular right now. I respect Lupe because when i see him i don't see the radio popularity tag on him. I see an artist who knows how to make great music. I know this is a very biast article but hey its on my Blog. "Coolest nigga Dumb it down" Lets just say u seek what u want to listen to. and when u know what u like @ least you'll have people backing you for the reason because they respect your music and is similar to other music they like!! so Lupe might not be popular but his fans know whats good, not popular. that's how i feel on the subject!! It seems like people don't say what they feel, like u have to say Wayne when u talk about hip-hop.
IDK I'm done

The Cool - if u wanna hear a great creative album/ with great lyricism and concepts
The Carter III- good over all album, didn't live up to the hype for me!! people made it seem like it was Illmatic/black star/all eyes on me/ ready to die/ midnight marauders/ etc. i liked it but wasn't my favorite CD of the year.

i love music that tell stories, have a message, and have great Lyrics. yea i might like some ignorant shit from time to time, but that's not the staple of my musical Background. To many people today are close minded and aren't deep with the music they listen to. I know people have there own opinion's on whats good but isn't there more music to explore than just music that makes you dance? shouldn't you seek music that inspires you? takes you to another planet? invites to to there life and get to listen to whats in there world? idk I see music as such a powerful medium and it seems like everyone wants to stay on the water paint. Don't u know there's other mediums of art look em up, enjoy it. Dont stay on one emotion life is full of different feelings how can u only listen to music thats about one thing, money, hoes, parties, etc. you cant be happy all the time. i know i wouldnt be able to eat rice all the time. its gets old, the same withe all the songs about the same thing..


keep your minds open!!! remember thats how i feel.. stay up
PEACE, RESPECT and LOVE

FNF UP!!!!!

stay up bro!!! we all knew u deserved @ least one grammy but F it.. it sucks that people don't wanna hear a message anymore!!! i still dont know how a song about sucking **** can win over superstar!! and @ the Grammy's? well the grammy's been messing up first w/ that Hancock album beating Kanye, lol like really no one herd that album...then that weird dude from Led Zeppelin won over coldplay?? I think the importance and prestige of winning a grammy is being demolished by the 1000 diff categories the BS Win's by artist who are irrelevant in music today but they get the Grammy just because of there age, or if they never won one.. Its not like a toy u share in kinder garden everyone gets a turn. You have to earn it... but i guess now u can just look for sale/ be old/ make a song that has no substance/ bribe em? who knows a lot of BS stuff happens kinda annoying but ill move on and listen to the best album of the year the real winner cold play...in my eyes The Cool won. But its Lupe don't give him any credit...
stay up!!!
