And If you don't know, now you know..

"If hip hop should die before I wake, I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK.. roll to every station, murder the DJ.. roll to every station, murder the DJ." - Nas; Hip Hop Is Dead.

I was waiting in line to make a purchase at Forever 21 when I heard the stupidest song come on. To my surprise, I was the only one shaking my head to this track and everyone else was either bopping their heads or singing along to it. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE music - anyone who knows me would co-sign that statement. I love new music, old music and music of different genres. The only thing is, I find it hard to accept those that are musically challenged (this is probably just my own one-sided opinion).


For example; once, I asked this teenager who his top 5 rappers were.. All I had to hear was "Soulja Boy" and "Waka Flocka Flame" before I stopped him from continuing. I understand that these songs are catchy for clubs and what not, but to place them in the top 5 list?!
YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIIIINDDD!!
I asked him, "Have you heard of Cormega? Nas? Little Brother? The Roots? Common?!" 2 out of 5 of those answers were a yes - I died right there.

*NOTE TO THE NEW GENERATION*
YOU NEED TO LEARN ABOUT REAL MUSIC!!
Please, take some time to travel back to the 80s and most of the 90s.

This also applies for R&B. R&B is my true weakness in life and I'll always love it.. new and old.. but as much as I love to listen to Trey Songz or Lloyd or The Dream or Chris Brown.. they will never, and I repeat, NEVER compare to D'angelo or Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles. I must also acknowledge and praise the irreplaceable, legendary MJ; music will not be the same without him.

What breaks my heart the most is when I see that this new generation has never heard of these artists. Such deprived souls... haha.



While we're on this topic, I gotta put in a request;
SOMEONE, PLEASE, BRING D'ANGELO BACK!!
This world needs his music. Man, I don't care if he's a fat drug addict offering undercover cops $40 for a blow job *PAUSE*... just bring his music back. I have been waiting for his third coming album, titled James River, since his teaser announcement in 2009; It is now half way through 2010.. what the fuck D'Angelo! Hurry up already! "Accidentally" leak a track! Make a teaser trailer of some sort! ANYTHING, FUCK!



Anyways, I wanna end today's blog with shout outs to my older brother and younger sister that just had their Gemini birthdays this past week and to everyone else celebrating this month. Pics will be posted soon. Don't forget; comment, hate me, love me, date me.. do as you please, just keep it real.


AND, OH YA HI, SHALL WE KICK IT?!








OH ONE MORE THING, off topic but ridiculously important;

COULD THE PRESIDENTS OF THE WORLD PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FUCKING OIL SPILL!!! I mean seriously, the world reacted to Haiti's earthquake in a matter of days. With this tragic event, not too much has been done other than the pointing of fingers and worthless apologies.

THE WORLD IS IN DANGER; the ocean is being polluted, animals are dying, the water is going to affect the plantations around the world, which means our resources for clean air and water will be slowly taken away from us.

STOP THE DAMN OIL LEAK!
