Kanye Taught Me : Awesome $h*t Kanye Says

"Send It Up"

Kanye is so my brother from another. I often feel as if I just want to hug him while whispering softly in his ear just how much his music means to me and others. Awesome $h*t Kanye Says is dedicated to his amazing lyrics that are not only humorous but also clever and creative. Please do provide feed back or even lyrics from Ye that you would say are also awesome and I will post them.


The following lyrics are from his latest album Yeezus. This song is one of my favorites as the track starts with Beanie Man saying , "Relivin' the past? Your loss!" then King Louie attacks the first verse. The production is sick and Kanye finesses the second verse oh so well. I like to listen to this at a very ignorant level, throw my shades on, and zone out. You should try it lol.

*** Also,the phrase "Send It Up" is often used in Chicago slang. Enjoy!

"This the greatest shit in the club
Since In Da Club
It's so packed I might ride around
On my bodyguard's back like Prince in the club
She say "Can you get my friends in the club?"
I say "Can you get my Benz in the club?"
If not, treat your friends like my Benz
Park they ass outside 'til the evening end"

Jam Of The Day: The Dream "Self-Conscious"

"You don't have to be self-conscious...I love everything about you baby I promise"

 

Being that The Dream always delivers quality music I was extremely sure that his album IV Play would provide hits. There are a few songs that I absolutely love but "Self-Conscious" is one of my favorites. This is how every man should feel about his significant other but most importantly how every woman should fee about her self. He opens the song by saying,"You don't have to be self-conscious" and I immediately fell in love. I felt as if he was talking to me and only me (LOL)... I find that when I am feeling slightly down I trend to listen to this song as a great pick me up. I applaud The Dream and his many talents as not only does he produce hits for himself and others but he also has a way of swooning the women.

Celebrating Life : Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legend Bobby Womack

In the wake of celebrating life for Maya Angelou and Ruby Dee we have lost another great.
 May they all rest peacefully.

I remember hits such as ,"If You Think Your Lonely Now" softly playing in my mother's living room as she cleaned. Back then I was far to young to actually know that I was listening to a soon to be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legend. With a career spanning over 7 decades Bobby Womack has mended hearts,soothed souls, and started dance frenzies throughout is tenure. He is a very well respected legend who embodied every area of music from playing guitar, to singing with his brothers at the age of ten, to writing The rolling Stones' first UK No.1 hit.

He will be greatly missed but he will never be forgotten! Rest on Mr. Robert Dwayne "Bobby" Womack.

" Between Goals and Achievement Are Disciplince and Consistency"

I found this message to be very powerful and informative. Being that I myself am constantly in search of knowledge and a way to better deal with life and its trials; this speech for sure is helping me along the way. This was posted on a friend's Facebook page the other day and it was a day where I was feeling slightly dicouraged/frustrated. The hardest battle for me is feeling as if you are meant to be someone else but you are stagnant because there is something that has not been learned. Most of the time I do feel as if I make excuses for myself when it comes to where I feel I belong in my heart and the effort I am inputting to make it happen. Mentally exhausted and physically drained most of the time I tend to put off or just dismiss that in which I am passionate about sometimes. Well, until I get fed up with the battle between my soul and my being. After hearing the quote above I knew that I needed to step us my game because I obviously was lacking discipline and consistency. Guess that means I need to go harder if I want the dream to become the reality and the destiny to flourish.

Blessings! 

Jam Of The Day: August Alsina "No Love"

                                                     R&B's New Heart Stealer

From the first time I heard his hit single, "I Luv This Shit", I was sold. This 21 year old heart-throb hails from New Orleans and he definitely shows up and shows out. I am one who likes to research the artist first before I decide to fully immerse myself into their work. By researching the artist I am able to determine if it is worth my full attention or not. Once I began to read his story of overcoming the streets, dealing, losing his brother, and finally devoting his life to music to better his family;I immediately knew then that I was a fan. On his track "Downtown" he tells of his brothers murder and he even provides a powerful vision through his lyrics.

“Phone just ringing heard a nigga got got/He was over on the East last thing that he heard six shots/He ain’t getting no love from the cops, nobody got caught/Real talk when I heard who it was, my heart near damn stop/Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back, let ‘em know cause a nigga gotta feel that!”

Today, I found myself replaying "No Love" a few times. I guess I was in my feelings, as usual (lol) so I decided to share. Much respect to August as he is on his way to a very promising and lengthy career. Hopefully, one day he and Bad Milli could collab. I'm sure she would love that hehehehe.

Be blessed everyone!

Thoughts Of A Thinker

If this isn't the truth... The ability to break through those barriers and become who you are truly destined to be is surely made possible by assasinating who you use to be. Once you change your thinking you change your being. I'm working.... #TheUnveiling #BadMilli #thelîk #moneydayz

Jam Of The Day: TY Dollar Sign (TY $) "Or Nah"

You going to thoroughly listen and read this post Or NAHHHHH lol...

So for a while now I and I'm sure you who are reading have been hearing this phrase "Or Nah" being overly used on every social media website. Hell I even heard a student at my job say this the other day so I know you should have by now and if not I am here to get you very acquainted. I believe that this ultimately comes from Ty Dollar Sign's hit "Or Nah". Initially his hit "Paranoid" is what caught my attention as the radio frequently played this joint often on my ride to work or just period. At first I was taken aback by it as he speaks of having two chicks in the club at the same damn time and neither are "suppose" to know about the other....Yet he feels they are trying to set him up. Hmmmmm... After I researched the "OR Nah" hit about a few weeks ago and this young man from LA is holding his own. Not only does he sing but he also raps, plays instruments, and produces. Currently signed to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records and Atlantic Records he shall definitely be around for a while. Not to mention I heard it playing on the radio just a few days ago this week which ultimately confirmed that this jam is beyond fire.

So you ready to listen to this fire OR NAHHHHH.... Enjoy

808's and He@rtbreak: PT II

 

Music, our struggles, and pain seem to what kept us together!

As I sat for hours trying to take my mind off all of the strife that I was enduring I decided to pick myself up by watching the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. As I provide my undivided attention into this amazing series all of the emotions that I was eluding suddenly reappeared. Prior to forcing my attention upon something else tears were all I could muster but they were now accompanied by laughter and a deeper sadness. As they began to tell stories pertaining to their lives and how they ended up in jail I immediately starting to realize that it was I preventing my own happiness. I was doing so by not allowing myself to just live. Instead, I sat on the couch crying my heart out, over thinking, and eating NutriGrain bars as if they were going to expire with the next few minutes. It took a few days for me to realize that as I was losing precious time being devastated over something that was apparently not meant to last..... life was still in motion. Heartbreak seems to stop everything besides time. So here I am feeling renewed and semi at peace but frustrated that I allowed another to steal my happiness. How could I have allowed another to take what they did not provide? I am to fault here.

So, I initially asked what do you do when you are sad and want to cry but you only know that it will make you feel worse?

Cry then dust yourself off and remember that somewhere that person is not crying nor hurting over you. If they were......then they would never have put you in that position in the first place. As I dust myself off, rearrange my life back to being focused only on me, and continue to live the life that I have been blessed with; I vow to have better judgement if there is a next time that "lust" decides to present itself as "love".

Al Green's, "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" ,softly plays in the background and I too use to wonder this.

808's and He@rtbreak

Music, our struggles, and pain seem to be what kept us together....

What do you do when you are sad and want to cry but you won't because it'll only make you feel worse? Broken hearts are difficult to mend as with anything, time is the best plan. Situations that should have never begun, but did, only to now leave you hurt wishing that certain feelings didn't exist. The tears swell in their ducts as you try your best to not allow emotion to overcome you again. I want to cry but that would only make me feel worse..... right?
Many would say pray and I've been doing that all day. I know. Pray some more huh. But my mind is tired, my heart is broken, and my soul needs mending. And this is only the beginning... (To be continued)

Lost One...... Found

The sad part is... I know who I am.... so how did I become so lost? There is no room for expectations in this world. So from here on out I become selfish for once.. I am the blessing and the curse. #millimassacre #thelîk #inmyfeelns #asusual #BadMilli #TheUnveiling
