A few months ago Nick Bailey gave me MF Doom’s Special Herbs collection of albums (minus the 5&6 album).The five-album set is basically an accumulation of beats. It’s very relaxing. It’s hip-hop, jazz, pop, ambient and anything else you can think of. I’ve been listening to the albums since last night when I decided to rearrange the furniture in my room. I’m almost to 7&8! The very last song of 3&4 is called “Hyssop”. When I heard it, my mind hole blew!
A lot of people may think Chris Brown no longer deserves our respect. I think differently. He made a mistake; He’s apologized to just about everyone who deserves an apology. He’s working toward improving himself. What more could he do to undo his wrong?
There are several songs on his new album that seem to address Rihanna personally. (That’s right, Chris released an album in early December. Apparently it didn’t perform as well as he’d hoped…) I’ve always had a soft spot for him since my senior year of high school, and so, one slip has not ruined my appreciation of his music.

All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I’ve got accustomed to.
Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night.
I knew I hadn’t met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don’t know why I got so attached.
It’s my responsibility,
And you don’t owe nothing to me,
But to walk away I have no capacity. Continue Reading »
Let’s play a game: Six Degrees of Separation. I first thought of this streaming idea when I wanted to compare Roberta Flack’s original “Where Is The Love?” to John Legend’s cover. This is what came from my personal inquiry.
John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae – “Where Is The Love?”
Dedicated to people who listen further than top 100 hits.
“City High Anthem” by City High
They just gave up on our entire generation.
So we were all pushed to the side cause we didn’t see the world through our teachers’ eyes.
And all we needed was a little bit of motivation,
But because we wore our pants saggin’ y’all labelled us gangstas
And said we wasn’t worth the time. Continue Reading »
Dedicated to people who are not ignorant, but knowing and true.
I have a Tumblr account. I check the dashboard a few times daily primarily to see if people I follow have posted any rare photos of Michael Jackson.
Lately, I’ve been disgusted with what people say. There is a time to be sexual and expressive and a time to not be. Classy sexiness is much more wholesome than what certain people find appropriate. I do like sexuality, but sometimes people take advantage of its beauty, thus debauchery. Continue Reading »
Dedicated to Jess Arruda and Eryn Spangler, my fellow HIMYM-obsessed friends.
Jess Arruda introduced the sitcom How I Met Your Mother to me just three short years ago. I am now just as obsessed as she is . Click here to read a post from my other blog to fill you in on the background of the show. Today, I just want to show you the fabulous, hilarious music these talented actors and actresses have produced thus far.
“Let’s Go to the Mall” by Robin Sparkles (a.k.a Cobie Smulders):
VMA trapeze performance; part of her Funhouse tour
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands;
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don’t care?
It’s only half past the point of no return,
The tip of the iceberg,
The sun before the burn,
The thunder before lightning,
The breathe before the phrase.
Have you ever felt thIs way? Continue Reading »
