Pastor Manning Is Uncle Ruckus

Its scary how similar these two are. Im going to let the videos speak for themselves.

Getting Up

Q Tip's live performance is stellar. Janelle Monae singing "Smile" forces you to not be sad as long as you live. The Cool Kids can really rock a crowd. Even though their songs are pretty slow. But backstage is always good when you bump into everybody you see in the video plus De La Soul, Serena Williams and some others. My cameo with Drama was all to necessary. It's a Philly thing. Alize's mind was blown. Gyant I want those pictures.

Common ft. Cee Lo- Make My Day

My President.

So, I went to the Young Jeezy video shoot, and I must say, it was a pretty sweet deal. Filming for Kenny (as usual) I got the rare chance to come from behind the camera and get in front of one. Like the real expensive one. So first here's my footage chopped and edited by none other, and then there's the cameo.

And then my debut..

Songs That I Like That As A Guy I Probably Shouldnt Like

There happens to be a few songs that if I played loud enough can cause me embarrasment and reputation dismemberment. But I know that the roughest toughest steak for breakfast punch a cop manly man guy dude has a song or two (or maybe a whole album) that just tugs at the heart strings, and can quite possibly get somebody emotional.

I am man enough to show you mine.

Lets start with a classic from Roger & Hammersteins "Cinderella". Son..I was like..*sniff*. Then I rewound it and played it back.

Raise your hand if you've seen Set It Off. All of your hands should be in the air. Remember that scene when Queen Latifah got shot..yup. Lori Perry's "Up Against The Wind" had me wiping my eye. Yeah. Just one.



Then, there's one from Romeo & Juliet. Kissing You by Des'ree. *sigh*..I feel the need to let people know that I will still punch someone in the face. Its my own insecurities. I feel better.



When I first heard Daydreamer by Adele, I stopped doing whatever I was doing. I almost got emotional. Then I hit myself in the chest. All was as it once was.



Lastly, I discovered this song last night. Its by Rufus Wainwright called "Vicious World". Thinking about how fucked up this world is will get you fucked up. I suggest you dont.



Bonus: Regular Tob LOVES this song. Under no circumstances should anyone. I dont care who you are.

Marky-Higher (Mastered)

Here's the mastered version of one of the hottest songs by Marky yet. Studio 43 is in the building.

Marky- Higher

McNuggets Love

The marketing team at Mckie D's knows that coonery sells. This motherf****er sings this song like he means it. She could at least give him a fry.

"...got a 10 piece girl don't be stingaaaaaay.."

The Truth About The Storm

As an avid Crackberry loser..ahem..user..I went into a geek frenzy when I heard about the Storm. A TOUCH SCREEN? Jesus lives. But I knew there had to be a darkside. After much research. I bring you...The Truth About The Storm. Hey, check out the greasy sides in the pic...elchk.

We’ve had a couple of days to play with the BlackBerry Storm, Research in Motion’s answer to the iPhone. It’s the first all-touchscreen, no-keyboard BlackBerry. And let’s be clear: It’s no iPhone. Its web browser is slow, and you can’t pinch to zoom (as with the T-Mobile G1, the Storm doesn’t have multi-touch). It doesn’t work with Macs (though it does have an application that lets it talk to iTunes for non-DRM songs on PCs). And though it may have some great games to download when its app store opens sometime in the future, it doesn’t strike us as the kind of device that you’ll use to drink an iBeer.

I Just Realized..

im scared of being lonely.

Meanwhile.

Okay so I've met some cool people, seen some cool people and done some cool things. Valentino had a dope party and soon I'll have the pics from that. Me, Tob, Bjorn, and my brand new friend Deanii saw Bill Clinton give a awesome speech.

But the real reason Im here is to talk about Streetlights. And Bad News. And Say You Will. All of these are leaked like bad plumbing off of 808's and Heartbreaks which is slated to drop Monday. But, I (and millions of others) got grubby little hands on these songs super early. When I say Streetlights speaks to my soul, Bad News makes me think of things I'd rather not, and Say You Will just makes me call her just to say I love you, it does. I applaud the raw emotion in every track.



Drake also has this new song featuring Lykke Li which is also sweet. Yo good music is coming back. It inspires me to pick a mic up..sing a little something..harmonize here and there..but not really.
(Click the pic for the song)

every day i think.
i fall into deep thoughts that tend to lead me into the philosophical world of the universe. i tend to dream while i am attentive. i fail to see the natural reasons for things or the "normal" way of life. i observe the movement and actions of girls who desire attention from men and wonder if girls like me ever get noticed?. i listen to the words breeze from the mouths of men who know exactly what to say and wonder why they say such things they don't mean. i have also discovered that looks will get you far enough to make it your lifestyle, from what i've heard " you make it a lil further if you are light skin". i like to write for no reason so that my finger tips can speak for my mind. i think if i write enough i wont have to speak one day and just be able to express myself through facial expressions because i'm tired of talking. everyone does it too much. i listen to intelligent minds from mouths who are worth listening to.

but the flawless sounds i hear and pay close attention to are the stars. they speak the loudest because they comprehend the abstract thoughts floating in my mind and visually see what i see. for some reason i like to communicate to them with my mind. i figure my papa can hear what i have to say thru them. they seem so far and so perfect and together. they are boundless in time.. sometimes it looks as if the stars always get left out all the time because they are so small but they are underestmiated. they dont ever get noticed because the moon overrides everything up there. but i think the stars have more of a voice. they are invisible during the day and visible during the night. but throughout all the changes they always surround all of the universe. people dont notice them because they don't shine bright enough..and they shouldnt have..stars shouldn't have to prove themselves to anyone..stars are looked at but never understood.. stars know and have seen everything.i am a very nocturnal being, i feel you can only see the most beautiful things while everyone is dreaming. i try to find spots where i can take a closer look in the stars but have been snatched from that idea. small stuff tends to attract me the most. i don't know but visual things make things so much better in my eyes.

some times i like to walk until i get lost and try to find my way back by myself. i do alot of things by myself because i think its the best way to think and learn about you. i wish i can paint because i have so many pictures in my mind that i have to write them out on paper. using descriptive words to express my passionate feeling towards a certain panorama. i feel like no matter how much i like people.. people will never understand me and i am alright with it because i have built my own mind and tend to entertain myself a whole lot then what people do. even tho i dont get people i like to look closely into their altered behavior thru out the day. i tend to be random just so that people wont and cant follow what im talking about because i am already misunderstood.

why to do boys go for what they can get other than what they could? this week i watched this boy stare at this girl for about minutes 2 long but ended up going to another girl for the "number game" why dont people strive for what they want? and if they cant have it why wont they just learn from it and build? i was once told if i say too much i would scare a boy off because of my thought process. its sad some people have to hide what they have inside of their mind.. just so that they can have a companion.

well the sun should be coming up soon, i have to see what he put out in the sky this time or else i'm going to think i missed something.

good morning.

260 Horsepower

Allegedly Allah gave Sayyed Muhammad Ahmad Abdallah the power of 260 horses, roughly the equivalent of 30,000 men. He has been married 24 times, fathered 35 children, and can bend coins with his eye socket and rip them with his hands.

Oh yeah, and he gets the ill na na 15 times a day. Sweet.

My Real Job.

I am sure you guys are wondering why the hell we post every other 7574378794 days. LOL. But, we have been busy, Phil(Amesse Couture) works for Valentino and Studio 43..Google it. It's worth it. I myself love to blog, but Nike pays the bills. That is my current place of employment. I work at the new concept store at Lenox Mall. I also do ALOT of corporate work, and marketing for Nike. The retail job is my "Clark Kent." But we have been doing tremendously well. The store offers in-store customization for shoes and shirts through Nike iD. As soon as I can post pics, I will. Until then here is a teaser, a shirt me and my homeboy and co-worker Brandon(sneakermind.blogspot.com) did for the new rejuvenated sneaker store Prestigious in Atlanta.

Heartless.

Out of the songs I have heard so far from Kanye's new LP, this one is my favorite.

Ras Trent

I was in Fire House Subs with Des on Election night and, im obliterating one of the many signature subs they have to offer. I look to my left and I see a wonderful caucasion couple enjoying a similar meal. How did I know they were a couple and not just friends? They had matching hair styles. Dreads. I just nodded in appreciation and stated "thats love". Ras Trent reminds me of them.

Hello Hollywood.

"..damn right I don't love you no more.."

So im bored at work. Facebooking and doing other things that could possibly get me terminated. I mean physically terminated. They have to pry this job from my cold dead fingers. In my ventures I runs across this song. It caught me in a good mood so here it is.

Enjoy, download, learn it, sing that one part you remember to your friends, etc.

Brittany Street- Hello Hollywood

The Office

I love The Office. From the way its edited to the way its acted. So Im going to go Modi style and post episodes from season 5. Here's the first.

Alex Pardee x Obama

You KNOW how we feel about Alex Pardee. He does it again.

Change.

We are back in full effect like we left something. I know. These hiatuses have to cease and desist. I probably spelled that wrong. Im not playing catch up with the Phillies or with our new President, but I will put this pic up. That's all there is to say.
