QUALITY over quanity forget all those tracks wayne drops, he gets ignorant after awhile and says things that aren't even relevent. and there IS a difference between gangster rap and hip hop..atleast to me. "i be pimpin them hoes, i be workin them bi***es".. This is such a touchy subject but i'm not feeling the order, and i'm assuming they're referring to whos the top 10 for this time period.. has to be

I actually do*pause*did like capital w when i listened to that type of music. i Loveeed 500 degreez. And his mixtapes really are entertaining, but i'm over wayne and what he raps about..
and i stayed hip with him for awhile after the first couple of mixtapes..dedication 1, 2, 3, suffix, prefix..etc, whew. i actually enjoyed it, especially the Beats! It was more so though for me to be able to say what i thought about a verse he said when i got around people who thought they knew music, like the kids at school/college.. so i could earn respect somewhat so my opinion would count..

but in the midst of all of that i got tired of the trash i was feeding myself and decided to move to a more conscience type of rap..that music is not appropriate for a young lady i don't think either anymore, just decided to move away from that

i'd love to create my own panel of judges and we say who's today's top 10 hip hop artist.. :o)

COMMON is here. i applaued all of you who waited for the real deal to drop..

AFTA 1: its crazy though...because man can never reach their full potential without the companionship and input of a woman
me: and it's even worse that not all men are aware of that
AFTA 1: those are the ones that perish first
AFTA 1: because they never truly understand love, or the creation and giving of it
AFTA 1: they live for self gratification

AFTA 1: the most fulfilling feeling is giving and watching someone benefit from it
AFTA 1: love: the giving of one's self for the betterment of someone else
AFTA 1: in every sense.....giving verbally, mentally, spiritually, physically
AFTA 1: selflessness

(and his music is just as beautiful as he is! ;o)

kudos to alovelessday

but it's been heavy on my mind for months now
guess I'm trying to clear some empty space

"A master in the art of storytelling, Ne-Yo began writing at an early age. A vivid imagination and creative energy has allowed Ne-Yo to write songs for multi-platinum artists such as Mary J. Blige, B2K, Faith Evans, and Musiq. When asked about writing number one hits for other artists, simply put, Ne-Yo said, "I feel there is always room for good music. I want to reach people's soul with my lyrics thru whatever vessel God chooses."

he is so right


this is 9th and his dad at my school, we had a hip hop forum awhile back..how excited i was to be here :oP ..love 9th


quotes i took from his speech:
-there are many different ways in hip hop you can make money.
-i can't put feelings on paper
-the music you listen to is a reflection of the type of person you are
-you think you're doing something? You're the hottest thing in winston..okay.. but you're not known in burlington though? (a city next to winston)
-utilize all the avenues you have


on the subject, fan i am
i am a fan of alot of artist, honostly, i am a fan of production as well, if you didn't like the beat the artist was performing over you wouldn't even like the song...

i'm really a fan of producers, so you know i am shouting out his production first but he doesn't just do that anymore, shotti is a writer, a photographer, sometimes a model, and you might catch him every once in awhile singing/rapping a verse too.. he is responsible for these so far





you should have already heard of him, but if not, stay tuned in, he's always bringing something new out

..worked hard and late last night.. i should have asked for 3rd of the money they we're going to make since i stayed b/c they needed the help, so i helped them earn what they made & stayed late with them but i didn't ask for any (and they sure didn't offer haha) i knew i was gonna get mine in return somehow though, i said Lord tomorrow i know you're gonna give me what i probably should have earned tonight; needless to say he refunded me well :runs away with cash:

sometimes a womans worth...

is measured by a womans church



sometimes a ni as worth, is measured by a ni as work
and if i delievered food this ni a here would lose
but not with her.
though sinner i be when i be..
..with her she aint God she don't judge
when it was hard she ain't budge

she helped me bring fnf up
therefore shes forever the s in the us
when i'm talkin bout we she's the e
shes the one to kidnap when you want the rapper to plea

sometimes a womans worth is measured by a womans church
and underneath her jab they path is not of this earth
the street that they walk, they're just trying to meet the boss
homie that might not be lookin good to you, but they ain't lookin good for you..

it's not where you live. but where your brain stay


lupe.. my love.
i almost get offended when someone says lupe is wack, lol.. i understand if you don't like his delivery, but what he says is powerful you just have to listen..and i know thats hard.



"The Cool is the sophomore album from Lupe Fiasco. It is due out in Autumn 2007, and may possibly contain a guest appearance from the remaining members of Pink Floyd. Lupe Fiasco is ready to battle. No, he isn’t at war with fellow rappers. His battle will take place as a stance against bootleggers. With his second LP, The Cool, in the works, Lupe is seeking Revenge. His method is already mapped out."

"Now, the title may seem familiar. That’s because this album will further examine the character that told us there is "no heaven for a gangsta" on Food & Liquor"

i saw him perform (sigh) and he was explaining the track "The Cool" from his first album.. that man is genius.
Sorry love if i didn't bootleg your album i wouldn't have known all the words at the show lol

give them what they want

then feed them what they need

God is good.. all the time.. Dinner with some family, took my cousin to see transformers, amazing movie. Saw two of my other cousins there too. Family. It's so important, how would i ever leave them. I have friends but not close enough to make me feel at home for too long, home is all i know. Love use to be my 2nd home, but love doesn't live here anymore.. and when i lost it i thought someone kidnapped me from the safest place. Terrible feeling. So i know if i wasn't at home i'd feel out of place, but being out of place is what i need to experience..a good friend of mine told me he walks by faith.. and i know he does*.. if you don't have faith you're not trusting your father.. a change is gonna come, maybe not tomorrow or this year, but one day.

Jesus Christ is the author and the finisher of my faith.. everyone has a date with destiny, i'm just waiting on the appointment

Yung Berg "Sexy Lady" feat. Junior is the original version.. idk if you've seen the video, what really stood out in it for me was the fact that they we're saying their verses slower than the song was moving.. guess the editing of the video went wrong or somethin (i'll learn the correct terms soon lol) but hopefully this one will be better... they are in ATL today finished the video, 3 day shoot
