Put You ON! *Hollyweerd*


When I was in Atlanta for the Lupe tour Y-3 had an after party for him at their store in Buckhead. I was on my way out when DJ Mars (the homie) threw this joint on that BLEW MY MIND! Ya’ll I love to dance (hence why I love, “Buy You a Drink"!) but these days though a lotta songs instruct me to dance not a lot of them really inspire me to. Well, sheeeiiittt (sidenote: did you hear the "Sheeeeiiittt" Clay Davis let out on The Wire last night??! I was on the floor, LOLing) when I heard this I was entranced. The 808’s, the quirkiness, the whole package, it's like some straight Dungeon Family shit! So I had to PUT YOU ON!

Four cats from Atlanta: the Dreamer, Tuki, Staggo Lee, & The Love Crusader make up HOLLYWEERD. They on some fly shit ya'll. It’s some straight down south stee-lo but it’s hard & funky.
Gotta luv that!

"Go Hard or Go Home"

Here's a video of a dance some kids made up to "Love to a Weerdo"...I can't front, I wanna learn it, lol! I woulda KILLED this on the dancefloor at prom!




Will.I.Am Loves Bams

Will.I.Am made an all-star empowerment/support video for good ol' Bams or as my homeboy Wyking calls him, "Obarocka," inspired by his New Hampshire "Yes We Can Speech." Check it out and comment on that jawn!

Puffypedia: "Bitch-assness"


(peep the Glamour Shot!)

I’m watching “Making the Band 4” (don’t kill me) and ya man Puff did a Diva move with the creating of his own word.

Bitchassness-n. meaning having the tendency to act like a bitch ass nigga.


HAHAHAHAAHA! I love it! Then he goes on to say, “There will be NO bitchassness at BadBoy!” No THAT’S using a word in a sentence.

RIP PIMP C

The official coroner's report is in, and Pimp C's death has been deemed accidental due to sleep apnia and a complication with the prescription drug Codeine, i.e. a key ingredient in sizzerp. Now I can't say for CERTAIN if that's what he consumed but if memory serves me correct this was the same prognosis given as DJ Screw's cause of death. We gotta stop with this drug culture ya'll. It's killin us.

Put the Mic Down Please!

*Sigh*
“Dear Lord please bring good, strong, soulful music to the masses.
By the looks of Youtube, things have gotten precariously out of hand!"




Cassie’s new joint from the movie “Step It Up:2”
I can’t hate on the checks but god LORD this is bad music.





Heidi Montag from “The Hills” has decided to waste hers and everyone else’s time by making sounds on a track
(I REFUSE to call it singing). All that OC bread and they couldn't at least make a better video??


My beef with shit like this is you KNOW it’s actually gonna get played and people are actually gonna be forced to listen to these two examples of foolery. Thank God there are some REAL artists out here getting it in (Nikki Jean, Janelle Monae, Chrisette Michelle, Erykah, Leesh, etc.!)

Not You Too Maya?!?! Pt.2


Folks been gettin at me regarding my post on Maya Angelou's endorsement of Mrs. Hillary Clinton so I felt like I should clear some things up:

* I do not think the ENTIRE elder generation is in support of Hillary or that the Or that the ENTIRE younger generation is in support of Obama. I do however believe that majority of those with leadership and power and power in the Black community to affect the minds and sway the choices made by their followers are in support of Hillary and have provided no solid reason as to why. They haven’t cited positive policies, reform, bills, platforms etc. that Hillary has been associated with but have made it VERY clear that Bams is a no go and their number reason has been because he’s not REALLY Black. Ummmm, that ain’t gonna cut it. No Sir!

*As I stated before, I loves me some Maya (her pic is in the Supa-Woman video for heaven’s sake). But that doesn’t mean I can’t question her decision. In actuality because she is such a vessel of truth I expected a stronger reasoning behind her support of Hill, since noone has really been clear to date as to why she’s the one.

*At this point I think Obama is more of a symbol for change than an actual harbinger of it. Already he has folks who never gave two damns about politics wanting to know more and communicating on pages they'd never turned to prior. Neither candidate is really saying much of anything in the way of actual, literal change per se so I am looking more to who can do more to inspire the masses to move. If Hillary gets in and does doo doo noone will notice. It's expected. If Bams gets in the white house and does squat, you know folks is gonna get on the good foot. WATCH!
