Throwback Thursday

Let's take it back to snack time and/or lunch time in elementary school. DunkAroos were kind of underrated at my school, but I thought they were the business, especially the vanilla dip with rainbow sprinkles! lol

XXL Freshmen Issue 2011

I understand Kendrick Lamar, there's no doubt about him, Yelawolf, and maybe even Mac miller but the others? Uuuuuhhhhhmmmmm, I guess :/

the world is not enough.

on february 18th, exactly a year when Stevie Crooks dropped 'Diamons & Guns' - he drops 'The WINE'

they told me, 'never be a dreamer' - maybe 'cause they never was believers.



first off, the artwork on the project is so creative with the James Bond theme & fittin' so appropriate with Stevie & his Crooklyn world which then leads to the actual songs that also follow the cover & goes for that James Bond theme. Much credit goes to the production team because this project goes from track to track so effortless.

some artist will put out a mixtape for you to download & call it a day. Stevie & his team always does an amazing job of always having a conceptual theme - from his promo shots dressed quite dapper to the video teaser he dropped earlier to match his theme. everythin' was done with a concept in mind & it payed off.
go support good music & get The WINE.

Yonas - Fall Back

"... but Imma be the one that's laughing one day. Ain't nobody else is rapping this way. Don't nobody see my view, but I don't care so that's okay..."
I can't get enough of this guy. Every new song he comes out with, I like love! This song is no exception. It almost annoys me that he's so good. Lyrically, I can't find anything bad about him. He's just that good. The song talks about how even though he is making his way up, he still feels like he's on the brink of falling back. Anyway, this is a song that will off his future project The Proven Theory due out some time in Spring.

Download: Fall Back

Ro Blvd - DooDooBrown ft. Nash of 87 Stick Up Kids


L.A. producer (U-N-I's A Love Supreme), Ro Blvd, is dropping a mixtape called Produc Placer 6: Shenanigans on Feb. 28. "DooDooBrown" is the first leak off of it which features Nash of The 87 Stick Up Kids. What can I say? Ro's beats are always fire and Nash may be white, but he can rap better than you lol..

Download: DooDooBrown

Bruno Mars, Wiz Khalifa, B.o.B Vibe Magazine





My favorite little Puerto Rican/Filipino singer and my sister's favorite tatted up, skinny, lanky, weed smoker along with B.o.B. on the same cover? That's cute lol... Anyway, these three talents grace (or mean mug) the cover of Vibe's Feb/March issue on newsstands Feb. 22. As you can tell there's a "Black & Yellow" theme going on. I dig it.

*sidenote: there was some OBVIOUS photoshopping that happened here cuz we all know Wiz is 6'3" while Bruno Mars barely hits 5'2"... just saying.

A performance heard around the world...

This performance definitely created a buzz on my timeline last night. It stated with much of the people from the east coast tweeting about OFWGKTA, then the west coast folk tweeting about OF's performance. I don't personally follow them on the regular, but when I do hear about them, they seem to cause much buzz. Tyler, The Creator and Hodgy Beats straight KILLED their performance on Jimmy Fallon last night. So much so, that "OF" was a trending topic on Twitter... worldwide! Like Tyler, The Creator's latest visual project, this performance was oddly interesting. OF performed "Sandwiches" on the show last night. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out here!

Stevie Crooks - The WINE Teaser

I've been hearing talks about The WINE since last year. From the very start of the whole concept and since then I've been anticipating to hear what Stevie Crooks has got in store for all of us. Here's a little teaser to The WINE's release tomorrow... FINALLY!

Grafik Ruffin - Me & My Bitch

"'Me and My Bitch' finds Grafik delivering a love story as well as paying homage
to one of the Greatest Rapper's of all time B.I.G who also had a song entitled
'Me and My Bitch' on his first album the Classic 'Ready To Die' LP"

Out of the solo videos I've seen Grafik make, this has definitely gotta be my favorite. The lil' storyline he's got goin' on with the girl, brings the audience in. Very cute Graf! :) Check it out:

J. Cole Ft. Drake - In The Morning

J.Cole's girl in the video is one pretty girl, definitely a cutie. J. Cole lookin' cute too... BUT Drake? Whaaaat!? Drake is lookin'g a LITTLE messy, but that's just MY opinion. I'm sure some of ya'll will second that though lol I'm guessing J. Cole didn't want that breakfast he was talking about, leaving the chick behind in bed & all lol And apparently leaving a shirt behind makes it all better, oookaaaayyy haha

What Disney Movies Have Taught Me...

This is just toooooooooo cute!
Source: AJ Rafael

That you can fall in love with someone regardless of how they look...

To be true to your heart...


That love can happen between any two people...


That those we have lost will always be with us...

That even our wildest dreams can come true...


That we must learn to accept differences and love each other for them...

That some of the most beautiful people we will ever know, are beautiful for who they are and not what they look like...

That we are all meant for something great...

That you may find the one you are meant for in the strangest places.

Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Game - Purp & Yellow (Remix) [Video Teaser]

Cool, they got some Lakers in the video and the "rock and roll" vibe sounds really nice, but what I've seen so far... I feel like the video looks kind of ehh. I'll keep an open mind though and see if my opinion changes when the official video comes out.

vanity slave.

i can go on & on about how big of a supporter i am of this kid but i won't.
i will say though if i ever had to gamble ALL my money it would be on kendrick lamar. the movement TopDawgEntertainment is doin' & the quality of music comin' from their camp is refreshin' to hear. btw, BLACK HIPPY for 2011. (& if you don't know what that means, google it. you can thank me later)

anyway, after much delay & lots of twitterin', kendrick came out with Vanity Slave II featurin' Gucci Mane. now at first, i thought to myself why in the HELL would he have crazy ass Gucci Mane on the track. i mean, we're talkin' about the dude that tattoed an ICE CREAM on his cheek. a sigh of relief to find out that Gucci was only on the chorus! but this song came out DOPE!
i love that anyone can relate to this song because in reality we're all vanity slaves.
