Late Night Ramble..."It's A Different World"

Tonight is my last night at home before I begin the new semester. I decided to throw on a good dvd and relax. Originally, it was going to be House Party 3 but, I went with watching A Different World instead. And, it made sense since I'm going back to college tomorrow. I finally opened up my disc-set which I received Christmas last year and it's definitely become one of my favorite new shows.

In little over a week, I will be returning back to class as a Junior. Time truly has a mind of it's own, I can't believe it's been two full years since I graduated High School. I learned a lot Freshman and especially Sophomore year. This year will be even more challenging, I'm sure. But, I honestly believe it will be one of the best.

So, this is no special note. I just hope for the best this year, and if you are in my same shoes, good luck to you too!! Let's get it!!

Wiz Khalifa x Honey Magazine

Wiz Khalifa was featured on the August cover of Honey Magazine.

Here are some of the shots:

I love him. That's all I gotta say.

Make sure to head over to Honey Mag to watch the interview.

ALSO, the third season of "DayToday" premiered today. "DayToday" are just videos he records of himself during the day--simply stated. You know...making music, foolin around, chillin & most importantly getting faded.

[First Episode of Season Three "DayToday"] --and once again he looks good.

I Despise Your Fly, Ye'

That boy man is flyy. Shoes on point too. That's how you do it.

--oh you FANCY huh?!

Interpretation of Kanye West's "Power" Video

I spotted this on NecoleBitchie. It's from the blog, Find The Pieces and it makes a lot of sense.

**Watch the video now, and then again after you read it.

“One man shouldn't have all that power…”

Hes surrounded by…
…sword wielding men, trying to cut off his head, sexy women engaging in lesbian acts, spilling water (water = life), food, bowing at his feet…

…while ONE woman sits gingerly at his left, not moving. Eventually, she sprouts angel wings.
There are two women with devilish horns who hold a staff, a sign of power and leadership standing before him…

…before the video cuts, the consuming images of the women disappear and ALL that is left are the two men trying to cut his head off.

To me, that is a POWERful video. Pun intended.

Cut off the head, kill the body. The creativity. The man. The purpose. The destiny. It wasn’t the pussy that “killed” him…It was two men, with swords…

But can I go even further? Follow me.

The two women with the staffs, serve as Kanye’s mother. She was his leader, protector, guided him when she was alive… She stood guard, and while all the women, and distractions flew in around him, she was there, standing guard.

When ALL those things disappeared.. Kanye’s head, his most important asset, was taken off…

Kanye is no dumb dude. Not in the least…Power personified.

It makes "a whole lotta" of sense---DOPE!!

Denzel Washington is "Unstoppable"

Now, YOU know I have to watch this. Denzel has never had a bad movie. EVER. If this is as action-packed as it looks, then he's got another hit on his hands. "Man On Fire", "Training Day", "American Gangster"---I don't see why not?

Soul Food: Erykah Badu at Lollapalooza 2010

I watched this when she performed it on the LIVE feed. It was AMAZING! She puts you into another zone with her voice. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE her!!

Can't Sleep Because...

It's 5:31 AM right now and I can NOT sleep.

This Summer, I have come to realize that I want to pursue my music. It started some years ago when I was 12 years old. I was up late watching "Poetic Justice" on the television, and from then I started my poetry, which developed into me rapping. I can't really explain the feeling. Music excites me. No matter how much I'm suppose to be doing something else like actual work that has a deadline, I can't help but write and listen to music. Even watching interviews of young artists on their grind inspires me. I do that all day long on Youtube, and it just inspires me. Because, I want to do the same thing.

Even though I will be returning back to school for my Junior year as a PRE-MED student, I still feel that this music has priority. Well at least in my heart. Does my mother know? NO. Some years back I did go about saying I wanted to be a rapper but, that dream died or hibernated. And now, it's back. No matter how hard I try to suppress the feeling. No matter how much I hear about my chances. No matter what, the feeling is STILL and has ALWAYS been there.

So, I just keep posting videos on Youtube as much as I can. Hoping to record something one day. Hopefully, by the end of this year, I can go in and treat myself to an actual recorded song. I have the material, I just need to go ahead and record it. My whole deal is that I want to be another FEMALE face in the game. Another LYRICAL force. Because, for the ones with two x-chromosomes, who do we have repping us now? Nicki Minaj is our face right now. We need a stronger presence.

I gotta make it. I gotta make an effort. Because if I don't even make an effort to at least try to be heard---that will be the biggest regret of my life EVER. I'm sure.

So, after this post. Expect my Youtube videos to be on here. I was hiding it at first. But, eff it, this is MY blog. No more holding back.

Oh, and if you are out there working towards a dream. NEVER let anyone hold you down. But, most importantly NEVER let yourself hold you down.
