All Talk

Waka Flocka Flame Ft. Roscoe Dash & Wale-No Hands

This is great!! Beat is fire. Definitely a song about strippers and stuff but I don't care. I don't do strip clubs but I'm sure someone will like the line "I'mma throw this money while you do it with no hands"

No Hands

Cat Versus Snake

I don't like cats. But after seeing this I have a new respect for them. I guess they do know they have 9 lives because he was flirting with one them right then and there.

Rick Ross-The Albert Anastasia EP

I'll be honest. It started out very strong but it got pretty average because I heard some songs already and then Triple C's started to rap but if you look past that then you have a good project right here. Ricky is doing great work. BAWSE!!

T.I.-Fuck A Mixtape (Mixtape)

Usher Ft. Miguel Jonte-Pay Me

Give me pound, give me pound, give me Euro, give me Yen...This is so freaking catchy so I don't mind it at all..Is that the same Miguel Jonte? I don't know that's why I didn't put his last name but it sure sounds like him.

Crooked takes some time to rap over that unreleased Curtis Jackson that came out some week ago.

You Should Be Dead

Drake Ft. Jay Z-Light Up

Another track from the album. And let's face it, half the album is already in people's hands but Do Right And Kill Everything doesn't care. He laments about not being able to party to his own music. Jay Z on the other hand seems to address some of those hating Roc dudes. Goodness..

Edit: This is not the whole version. There a couple bars missing from Hov and Drake so stay tuned for that.

Light Up

Tiffany Evans-Changes+ Look What You Did+ No Show

Ken Robinson Says Schools Kill Creativity

Ken Robinson is a British author and he's an internationally recognized leader in the development of innovation and human resources. (Wiki)My friend Andre put me on to this and it's something you should watch. It's 20 minutes but it goes by very smoothly. His main point is that the current public school education is a system that undermines creativity. Check it out



And here's another one that is from this year in which his main arguments is that there should be a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning; creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish.

Cali Swag District - Teach Me How To Dougie (Video)

YZR!! I love this video because everyone is just having fun and dancing. Plus my dougie needs some work and I could definitely use some help with this.

Gyptian-Hold You (Video)

I don't really care for the video but this song is smooth. The reason being is that you expect the beat to get crazy because it's building and building and it stays at that right spot..so I ain't mad.

Lyriciss - Who Dat

Haven't heard too many folks rap over this. Actually I only heard Joell Ortiz, Theo Martins, and now Lyriciss. That's a good lineup for people rapping over it, as well as the originator J. Cole. Check this out.

House Parties Vs. Clubs (Article)

Wassup yall. It’s been a damn long time since I’ve written some kind article that had more writing and opinions than videos and explanations. I don’t think anyone minds except myself. I haven’t written in a while and it’s just because I ain’t got shit to talk about or I already wrote about it. Check the stats. But anyways, I’m here just to speak my mind on House Parties and Clubs. I mean, to be honest, what do you really like? What do you prefer? I already know how I feel and I hope to share that with you now. Let’s get it.

I’ve had a good amount of experiences with both types of events. When I turned 21, which is really when the club experience should start, not when you’re 18 and can’t even get a drink and shit..Anyways, when I turned 21 and started getting invited to these club joints in the city I was pretty hyped. I remember the first club I went to I had a nice blazer on with some khakis, shoes, and I was just looking well put together. Anyways, the vibe was nice, drinks were expensive as shit. Line was long as hell to get in. I forget the name but it was the type of club that was going to make you think that mad people were in there until they opened up another part of the club for space and everyone was able to breathe a little. Did I leave the club wanting to go back? Nope. Don’t get it twisted, it’s fun and everything but do I really want to pay more than 20 dollars to get in? Then pay for drinks? Then pay to go back home? Let’s not even the mention how people play around with egos and stepping on shoes and getting mad. I mean there’s just too much going on. I don’t even remember the last time I was in a club but I know that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I should have.

Now if I ain’t doing clubs then I must be some corny ass dude right? Wrong! House Parties are the best things ever. Why? Because there’s no cover to get in. (Unless someone is getting their hustle on) No age limit, I mean there is since you don’t want youngins coming in and getting drunk and what not but you know what I mean. You can basically wear what you want to wear. And there’s always some clever addition. Back in the day I threw a party and made sure I got drinks for everyone. Clearly I didn’t want folks just coming by and drinking and having them leave without any kind of memorable moment. So I got some Popeye’s Chicken for that ass. Before people drank they ate some chicken. It can’t get any better than that. Biscuits too. Music of course was bumping. Best things about house parties, depending on the host, is that you might even get to crash since it’s too late to go back using public transportation, or the designated driver decided to drink it up as well. I mean, the whole house party feeling can happen on a campus with a group of folks. Even though it’s more toned down to maybe just a gathering, it’s still great times, great folks, drinks, some competitive Taboo, MarioKart, or SuperSmash.

So what do you prefer when it comes down to these two, house parties or clubs? And give your reasons why? Any worthwhile experiences? Thanks for reading.
