Drake is a beast: Who's that peeking in my window? You should let some more skin show And if one of these websites get the info, We can work it out, no Nintendo I just hit ALT-TAB Switching in-between two convos I should just call cabs And bring them over here to the condo Yeah, normally it ain't a question We would cross paths like an intersection But she just too far away for affection So I pray that we never lose the connection Cause I remember Stacy, she probably to hate me, She used to threaten she had a man to replace me She talked that sh*t, I just hit the escape key So she can get mad and wanna go and erase me I remember Amy, she used to aim me She stayed up late and used to blame me She said I'm too wild, she wanna tame me I told her even photoshop could'nt change me But you, you, you, you got me over girl? We ain't even trying to settle so why try? Ended the night with a kiss and a bye bye No strings attached, your love is so wi-fi
Sometimes you have to appreciate your life. I know that everybody has their issues, but you'll start to value yours when you look at some of these people's hardships.
FML? Nah forget that homie, my life is just fine... FYL!
I'm on the fence concerning the public's reaction to Drake. I don't know if his meteoric rise is attributed to hype or genuine anticipation.. does anyone realize that meteors fall down?
I was rocking with Drake back in 2006 when I first heard Replacement Girl (probably because I was dealing with a lil heartbreak and harboring some vengeance). People say he reminds them of Kanye West. While I can understand that Drake descends from hipster hip-hop, he is no swagger jacker. This dude's flow is tight, he can actually sing, and he's one of the few rappers out now that I consider an artist... ie, for the love of the craft and fans, not money.
But the hate is a ripe as the love. For every dude that is banging "Successful," "Ransom" or even "Best I Ever Had," from his car on these NYC streets, I see dudes on line saying he's weak, wack and/or gay. What's really good? He's gotten props from legends like Jay-Z, Dr. Dre and Bun-B. I'm not calling Kanye a legend (yet), but the dude directed that ill-directed "Best I Ever Had" vid. That's all 4 regions of the US holding him down... and he's Canadian!
They say he only gets love from women. And they call him Wheelchair Jimmy because he was a child actor (I MESSES with Degrassi BTW), but you would not put him in the same atmosphere as Bow Wow or Omarion.
Please note how odd it is that Omarion signed to Young Money and Bow Wow signed to Cash Money, def going to blog on that later. Just ripe for commentary... or hate...
I doubt Affion is dissing Drake. He did a spoof on the Hot 97 "free"style Drake had with Funkmaster Flex. I am an avid supporter of Drake, but even I thought reading his lyrics from his BlackBerry was corny when I saw the vid. But Affion messes with Jiggaman and he has said on record that he has no issue with the comedian. Drake probably finds it funny too, and he's obviously big enough to warrant the investment into this spoof.
Spoof's funny. And I'm not saying Affion is a hater. This just gave me something to write about. Take care of those sh*t stains, ladies. They happen, but handle that.
I like the song. I do not like the video as much. I really don't think Jay is a good actor (he would have been terrible as Frank Lucas), so I found the intro tedious. You know? ...you know?
I think there is too much focus on Loso in prison and that stupid party at the end. I don't think there is much of a exploration of Loso's relationship and his girl when he is in prison, that's the subject of the song after all. That's what Jigga is asking over and over and over without a verse to answer (and surprisingly not a wasted feature).
If you're going to make a concept album, you must stay true to the concept. Fabolous is good at marketing high end toys like in "Throw It In The Bag" (...remix is better), but he has to think outside of the box if he is going to show the people the character Loso.
I messes with "American Gangster" hard (pause.) because Jay stays true to his theme, and every video he released was a scene from his movie. He wasn't even in "I Know" because that scene was about the junkie, not the dealer.
I wouldn't buy the vid at iTunes Music Store, but it's cool.
I attempted to create a blog under a persona to filter some of the outrageous sh*t that I say when I'm conscious. It was unsuccessful, you can't water down or refine some of the filth that manages to seep from my mouth. Pause.
I'm riding shotgun in my own life, guided by what ever higher power helps you go to sleep at night. It's cool though, I don't have to drive safely (or learn how to drive), and I can focus on making fun of everyone else on the road.
Not trying to be douchebag... just kinda happens. Enjoy.
I'm from Brooklyn, born and raised, but I've been in Atlanta the last 4 years going to college. I like to think I have that New York Swag, but that Southern Hospitality rubs off on you. I'm politically conscious and I love Hip-Hop, but I don't think the two go together in a particularly marketable way. I'm all about getting back to my roots, but I more about making money. Lots of it: I have student loans to pay.
