Keri Hilson Feat. Rick Ross - The Way You Love Me (Official Video)



First off if you have not seen this video or heard the song please do so. Second I would have never thought Keri Hilson would stoop this low. Honestly I am disappointed. She is too talented to make such a commercial song that demeans herself as well as women in general. We hear it all the time men say it why cant women? Do you do everything everyone else do? I think this might be one of her rare songs we wont have to worry about hearing any more.

By the way I do not like Rick Ross.

The Throne Big Enough for a King




First off I am tired of all the backlash Lebron James is recieving after his decision. This decision, though not as publicized, has been made plenty of times in the NBA. Cleveland, in my opinion, is full of a bunch of immature ungrateful people. The things that he has done over and over for his city should be enough for the same city that cheered him on 7 years to continue cheering him on the rest of his career. There arent many people from Ohio who make it Pro and remain relavant and as widely publicized as Lebron. He single handedly brought Cleveland out the "dog house" and into the lime light. The way you repay him is by burning his jersey?









I guess we should have expected this seeing how he was treated as a high school athlete. If I can recall correct, the same people who accused him when he was winning and turned on him when he left are the same people who accused him and his mom of accepting gifts and trying to take him off his game. Its really beginning to get old. Can you really blame him for leaving? What if Dan Gilbert traded him? Would you burn Dan Gilbert ties or somethin? My advice to you is to grow up, find a new superstar and accept him for who he is.

WKYC, the NBC affiliate in Cleveland, hosts Dr. Scott Bea, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic. Bea offers advise coping mechanisms for Cavs fans tonight. "They're probably a little too attached," Bea says. "Be a regular fan about it. Go ahead and voice your disapproval if you must, but go have a full life in other areas as well."




I say Long Live The King! Dont jump on the bandwagon when they start winning either.

Top 10 MCs of the 21st Century

Ok so recently I seen BET and MTVs top 10 and I was dissappointed. So I decided to drop my own top 10...

This order is how I feel it should have went based off lyrics swag and overall swag. I like all the people that made the list and there still people who didnt make it that are good but these 10 are better.


10. Wale
Though he is still new dude spit some hot shit I cant complain about him. Give him a few more mixtapes and another Album he can move up.


9.B.O.B.
Atlanta native. Sick bars. He pretty dope I just want more from B.O.B. he is one of the few Atlanta aritst I got respect for. His bars are sharp guarenteed to cut you!


8.Fabolous
Fab holdin it down for the BK. Dude has dropped some good mixtapes and albums but he flusters a little. I like his delivery but I wanna see a more dedicated work ethic drop more shit Fab


7.Nicki
Nicki Nicki Nikci smh for someone so bad her bars are sick. She droppin hits, her mixtapes are on point she doing the singin tip, she has fun with her shit. I wanna see more thru you tho Nicki show me more pain to balance that crazy out


6.Drake
This one singing ass dude man. Lol. His bars go hard for a Canadian but sometimes we want to hear more than a love song. Tell us more stories Drizzy, show an alter ego or something to switch it up. Keep the bars coming though


5.Em
Hardest white boy ever to do it. I like his lyrics they still show his pain his joy his everything. I just wish the man wouldnt go on such a long hiatus. I understand you tryna make money off other people but atleast give the fans more. Hottest single is that Love the Way You lie, he has always painted brillant pictures with his words.


4.Andre
For someone to be so cool calm and collected his raps still will knock you on your ass. Dont believe re listen to Dueces, the hardest 16 Ive heard in a minute..Just wish he would drop an album shit we been waiting for a while Mr. 3000!


3.Kanye
One of the Dopest Mc Ive had the pleasure of listening to. He is truely a perfectionist but sometimes it blocks his shine and makes it look less natural and more rehearsed. Punchlines silly he gotta put out more mixtapes though because we want more in between his albums


2.JayZ
The hardest, slick talkin 40 year old I know. This man still shows you he got alot more flow to dish out. He has consistently shown up, I dont think Ive heard a song where he has dropped the ball....


1.Lil Wayne
What can I say the man is dedicated he drops mixtapes for days, his albums sell, he has millions of followers and the people who arent following weezy are startin to catch on.




There is no reason Waka should be on a Top 10 list. TI didnt make it becuase Ive heard alot of inconsistency on his behalf. Jeezy is strictly gangsta rap but these two could have easily made the top 10 I just felt there were 10 others who were better. Tune into the game hip hop is about having fun but lyrics bring me back for more.

Tell me what you think and who you thought should be on the top 10.

360 Waves







Lately the big hype has been to get dreads. But Im here to tell you that the grown and sexy thing to do is to get a dark cesear with some nice crisp waves for your woman or business professionals to look at and not think your a criminal! Lol...



Here is my hardwork and dedication. I put in a good 3 weeks of not getting a haircut and sticking to my strict schedule of brushing for 15 minutes at night and randomly throughout the day. But I also have a few secrets....1) Im mixed so I do have good hair 2) I used wave grease to make the waves deeper. I am not saying that you can not have waves if your not mixed Im just saying that I had an advantage and it may take you longer than 3 weeks to get to this point. So lets get to what you came here for...the "how to." Women can also follow this if you have short hair..





1) Purchase a good double sided brush with a hard side and a soft side. Make sure you use both sides when you brush your hair.



2) purchase a wave grease and du rag. I use Murrays but thats a personal choice, you can use what you want. I have the lite and regular kind and ill discuss why later...
3) When you are ready to begin it is best to get a fresh cut prefebly a low cut so you can start from the beginning sort to speak.

4) When you get in the shower or when you are ready to go to bed get a rag and soak in the hottest water you can take.

5) Apply the hot rag to your head then rub the Murrays, or whatever you are using, into your head...But here the thing, you have to rub it in your head the way you want your waves to go.

For example I rub the sides down the back down and the top forward.

6) Brush your hair for 15-30 minutes or however long you can in the same direction you applied the grease.

*It is important to always brush and apply the grease in the same direction, results will show faster.

7) In a week you should see small ripples showing but dont get too excited or lazy cause they will disappear. So for 3 weeks continue the steps.

8) At the end of the 3 weeks or however long you are willing to go without a haircut your waves should be deep enough to get a cut.

9) Tell your barber to cut the way you brush your hair and enjoy the fruits of your loom...(no homo) lol

*for a deeper, slick/shiny look use the regular at night and lite in the morning!*

This Cant be Life

In a time and day where pop culture rules our everyday life, have we really forgot what life really is? Many of our peers and we ourselves are living lies. I love the lyrics to Jay-Z song "This Cant Be Life". His song enumerates everything I think about daily, the hook alone puts me into deep thought. "This cant be life This cant be love This cant be right There's gotta be more This cant be life..." I look at the struggles and obstacles I'm faced with and it creates that motivation I need to push me to want everything even more. I want everything life has to offer. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, my family is a decent size and I feel blessed to know I have one foot out the trap we, as in minorities, are set up to get caught in. I have four uncles who have been to jail and an aunt blind from abusing drugs and we all fighting to stay above water per say. Bills stacking, over due notices, shit that can drag your morale down and cause depression but the constant vision of success, the sweet taste of defeating all odds is what keeps me fighting its what keeps me saying "This cant be life This cant be love This cant be right There's gotta be more This cant be life..." I know life is going to get better and if you reading this then you should know your life will too. God wont put more on you than you can handle. Trust him and always remember things happen for a reason. Believe what God is doing in your life is for your best interest.

Fast Track

You hear it all the time whether it be from real people or fakes "I didn't choose this life this life chose me". This quote has probably been said trillions of times and its true but do you really have a choice? A lot of people feel that they can take on the world without a plan and a sense of direction. Me I believe I was born to do it and I'm not just saying this cause I'm cocky or nothing but I am confident. I fear no man, I never have I never will. I also do not fear making mistakes. This is where people make the wrong turn. Because you fear making a mistake or failing you avoid the things you need to prepare you to take on the world. Walk by faith, not by sight. Has God not shown you thus far that you wont see him but he will come thru for you more than any tangible person you see in front of you? If its one thing Ive learned from making mistakes its that NOTHING IS TOO BIG for God to take care of. Make mistakes have dreams and work for them. If you want things to happen when you want them to without a struggle you might as well hang that up. It don't work like that, if your not ready for it you wont get it. That don't mean you wont ever get it, pray that god helps you gain maturity, wisdom and understanding so that you may appreciate the things he will bless you with. Pray that the things you want wont hurt anyone in the process or jeopardize anything they have going for them. Everything is already written and ready for you to be, have and do its just a matter of you being ready for it. If you haven't learned anything from this blog I want you to know that anything worth having is worth fighting for. Now before you go out and rob, shoot, kill, beat someone up or any mixture of the before mentioned let me clarify this. If you want a promotion at a job fighting with your co workers and guest will not put you in a management position anywhere period. If I'm looking to promote someone I'm looking for someone who will fight the temptations to do bad or someone who is fighting to keep their pride and integrity and still make my place of business look respectable without undermining their morals. If you don't have a job I'm looking for someone who will fight to keep their image and how they present themselves as close to their natural personality as possible, not someone who is fighting to be someone they are not. Even if you don't get everything you set out to get someone from the sidelines will admire your dedication and will probably love/respect you for it. The feeling alone should be reward enough to keep you doing the same thing in the future. A little food for thought before I leave you: When you are running on a track the end may seem to never come because it is a circle it isn't until another man puts obstacles for you to hurdle that you see how hard running is but in this race you have the option to pass the baton to your partner or sprint thru the finish line. Just know even when you brake the red tape the track continues. Never stop chasing your dreams they never stop running from you.

Upstairs

The backboard squeaks as our bodies rub together. Its hot in the room and the heat is causing the windows to become misty. I pull your hair just enough to make you want more. I nibble on your juicy thigh while you beg me to go higher. I look at you like baby you not gonna make me no liar. I said never will but before i could get my words out you pull me closer to your mouth. You kiss me and I kiss back. I lift you up and put you up against the wall. I lick you from your navel to your chin. I see a grin, its dark in the room so nobody can peak in from across the street. I give you all of me and just as you about to peak I slow down then I pick back up until you beg for me to stop, I cant now the fire alarm bells are already knocking. You let go finally after a few hours of torment. Then I finally spread your legs open and you hope I let you finish the story....................

Life Life How did I get Life

Life, I mean is it really worth livin? Don't hate me shortie wake me. The meds I'm on will make the feds come quick. You all heard it before is life worth livin should I blast myself? When you sit down and think of all the things you could be doin besides dwellin on the bad things that have happened you will see your life has been blessed from jump street like straight up. Your first day you were born you weren't breathin. God kick started them lungs you fillin with chemicals from the cigs and weed. But you never thought about it like that. Some people would kill to see yet you tryna kill yourself so people won't see you. In my life I've had people die on me from natural causes but never someone tryin to commit suicide. Guess the sayin is true never say never. One of my close friends, who I respect enough to keep his name secret, flirted with death or so we believed. For everyone involved it wasn't fair. Suicide is nothin to play with. I can't say that I've never thought about how life would be without me but god has a way of showin you your worth sometimesyou have to open your eyes and see what is in front of you. Live love laugh three things you should keep in mind when things seem to be goin wrong look at the bigger picture. Greater is he that is in me than that is in the world. You are a child of god if you feel you have nothin to live for live for him givin his only son up for you to even have a chance to think about takin your life. We only get one chance to live, make the best of it.

For Better or For Worse

From a young age I had to learn the hard way, you can fold and bend but you should never brake. At the age of 2 I was mature for my age. I would walk with my moms and ask her questions about my father like why they not together and when would they get married again. Tough love is what I got out of my dad not seeing me but it made me stronger, it made me who I am today. But with all that said, who am I to be mad about some shit I couldn't prevent? I mean the rift between my moms and dad started way before I was born, it didn't help none that my dad was and is brown skin and I came out yellow as a sunflower. I guess you cant see yourself in a persons shoes until you have to wear them. But lets fast forward to almost 20 years later. Can you see a young you now? I mean you cant say I don't exist to you and believe that, can you? I cant say that if i were him I would do this and that this way and not let this and that happen cause things happen for a reason but I can say my child will know his father will never leave him or her EVER and that I love them more than anything in the world. So next time before you judge me walk in my shoes you probably couldn't handle the things that seem minute to me.
