Make Way for the S.O.V

If you don't know her name by now, it's Lady Sovereign, the biggest midget in the game. Standing at 5'3 inches, Lady Sov proves that good things come in small packages. The female mc/producer hit the scene at 15 years old and now she's ready to stand tall for the long haul. Her strong personality and rebel attitude makes for a an all around good performer. If you don't have her album, I would highly recommend that you pick it up. Every song on the album is a sure fire hit, she really knows how to make a good song, and make it rock too. She toured with Obie Trice on his UK tour, worked with Missy Elliot, and is currently signed to Def Jam. You might have heard the problem some industry folks had about her lack of promotion before the relase date of her album (all fingers pointed at H.O.V). But anyway check out some tracks from this talented young miss, I betcha can't play just one.

Audrey's Dress

Some lucky broad just snatched up Audrey Hepburn's ever famous "Breakfast at Tiffany's Dress":


"The black Givenchy gown worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” sold at auction Tuesday for $807,000. The price, paid by a telephone bidder, was almost six times the highest pre-sale estimate. The iconic garment had been expected to fetch between $98,000 and $138,000 as part of a sale of film and Television memorabilia at Christie’s auction house in London. Proceeds from the sale will go to the charity City of Joy Aid, which helps India’s poor. Hepburn wore the dress for one of her best-known roles, as eccentric Manhattan socialite Holly Golightly in the 1961 film adaptation of Truman Capote’s novel. The opening scenes of the film show Golightly in the dress emerging from a taxi on 5th Avenue with her brown-bag breakfast to ogle diamonds and luxury goods in the storefront windows of Tiffany & Co. Images of Hepburn dressed as Golightly with gloves, an elaborate pearl choker and trademark cigarette holder still endure."

Those Famous Movie Quotes

Rhett Butler (Clark Gable): "You need to be kissed. And often. And by someone who knows how!" in Gone With the Wind (1939)

Gwen's Reflection of Elvira

While probing through my collection of DVD's last night, I came across "Scarface" and thought well I have a plethora of time available to take this movie in again. I haven't seen it in awhile and it does happen to be an old favorite of mine mainly because I loved Michelle Pfeiffer's character, Elvira Hancock, minus her serious coke habit. She was a tough pill to swallow unless you knew how to break that hard outer shell of hers which I can relate 100%. Watching her this time around made me think of Gwen Stefani on the cover of her new album. She appears, sleek, untouched, and just as flawless as Elvira did when she was taking that ride down the elevator so conveniently located in her home. And then there is that touch of mystery to keep you wondering what this chick is all about. Gwen's look also helps to set the mood of her album which I think could pass for music played during Studio 54's operating hours. Pure genius.

Why Do They Hate Us

I was watching some Dateline like show the other night and was extremely surprised at what I saw. An American reporter went over to Korea. I'm guessing they wanted a detailed look into the lives of Koreans in their society. They went on to show children in their classrooms, 3-4 year old children who were just about robotic. They were playing instruments in moving with such grace and precision that I was forced to keep watching. I thought, damn what do they feed these kids? 3 year olds in the U.S clearly stand no chance next to Korean children when it comes to domestication. I see 3 year olds running around outside, barefoot, with tonka trucks filled with dirt in my neighborhood. The next scene was a reporter chatting with the natives of Korea on the street. They blatantly stated their hatred for the U.S. And they did it with a smile on their face, holding the American's hand. It was like she was saying something that we should already know like, "Yea, there is nothing good about the US, you know, we can't stand how you run your country (all smiles)". I mean the look on the reporter's face was that of shock disguised by understanding eyes and the "I know what you mean" nod. So today, I decide to look up why the U.S is hated so much.....I found this essay that went into detail about why we are hated. It was interesting. The author also gave 87 reasons why we were hated so much over the years. Check it out. See what you think

Why Do They Hate Us

they probably hate us for stuff like this, just wrong:

Return of Rocky

So how do we all feel about the new Rocky film debuting in theaters on Dec. 22nd. I'm so tired of 'let-down' films, so I'm hoping this isn't another let-down because I really do love the originals. Show me What you Got Sylvester.

Mental Tabulation: Prince @ Superbowl Halftime

For all you Prince fans out there, I've just received word that he will be the star performer at the Pepsi Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show. I'm looking forward to it, the man is 48 years old and still knows how to jam. If you haven't seen him perform lately, he does put on a show worthy of an encore! encore!

Be sure to catch this once in a lifetime event live on Feb. 4 2007 from Miami's Dolphin Stadium.

Lauryn Hill: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

It's been awhile since I've heard anything from or about my girl Lauryn Hill but a new docu-series will be premiering on E! and she is among the few to be featured in the eight-part series titled, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" which will debut on January 22 @10:30.

Maybe we'll all be enlightened as to why and where she disappeared to. The half-hour series will uncover real-life stories of foul play, heartbreak and untimely death in Hollywood as well as the comeback stories of celebrities who overcame great adversity to get back in the game. Sounds like she may have been involved in some serious shit. The others to be featured aren't really model citizens themsleves.

Among those to be are model Niki Taylor and her late sister, Krissy, who also was a model; late actor Chris Penn, younger brother of Sean Penn; late comedian Mitch Hedberg; fomer teen idol Leif Garrett; author James Frey

.....be on the look out for this.

Holidays: The Hunting season for Thieves

"....Cuz where I'm from you need the gats out, and cocked" --Lil' Wayne

Apparently where I'm from, I need them out and cocked too. With Christmas rolling around, I thought I would blog about the crime rise in Richmond at this time of year. I currently reside in Richmond (thank VCU for that) and I am constantly watching the news and/or reading about robberies in the Richmond area. I never really knew how bad Richmond was until I saw that last year it was in the top 5 of the most dangerous cities in the nation. That statistic made me more cautious and interested in what was going on in the news for my own safety.

This year I'm not exactly sure what number Richmond is on the list of the most dangerous cities in the nation but I do know that the crime here is ridiculous. As soon as I turn 21 I'm taking that 'right to bear arms' thing and running with it........straight to the gun shop to cop a little something for my protection. For now, I have rely on my pepper spray to get me from point A to point B. But pepper spray just seems like hair spray when someone is holding a gun to your head demanding money that they should really know college students don't have.

There have been about 15 robberies this month alone. But that only counts for those robberies that were actually reported. Then there are still those robberies that end up in murders and believe me there are plenty of those too. What really sent a chill up my spine were the robberies that took place and probably will continue to take place on my block. That's exactly why I have a dog, and I'm not talking about a little yorkie that can probably get kicked up the block, I'm talking about that good old boxer/lab mix. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I mean, I know this type of shit happens everywhere in the U.S, and Richmond probably doesn't have it the worst, but I'm still shook. I have school to worry about let alone the idea of getting robbed or possibly even killed.

To conclude, I'd just like all of my people that live in Richmond to be cautious during this time. Please take into consideration these statistics because this shit really is happening left and right on just about every street near and on the VCU campus. Be safe during the holidays. And there might be power in numbers but some of these robbery reports included groups of people getting robbed so you have to think, "is there really power in numbers?" At the end of the day, we're all citizens so I suggest you use your right to bear arms.

Cocaine Rap

For me, this cocaine rap thing was tolerable with Juelz and his "Back Like Cooked Crack" mixtapes. I even sang along to "...stay on the grind like clockwork". But then Jeezy made his appearance on the scene with his trademark 'snowman' alias. At this point it started sounding like a jackhammer going off non-stop. After, Rick Ross' "Hustlin", I was done. I was pretty much burned out on raps dedicated to the hustlin of that hard white. Now I just refuse to get it anymore. I mean, these are wonderful street anthems (i guess-they get a lot of radio play). And it's easy to see why these artists get plenty of love not to mention street cred. It's almost like a dedication to the hustler's way of life, why wouldn't the streets love it. I'm in no way downing it and wishing it away forever, but it would be nice to get a break from it once in awhile. For one, it does not serve as ideal music for this generation's youth, who in my opinion are already heading down the wrong road. And two, there are only so many ways in which you can try to diversify the "ways in which you're pushing that". It pretty much depends on the beat at this point to make the song a hit. I don't know when it will ever end. I thought that at a certain point, an artist's music reflects their way of life like Jay said. He use to rap about hustlin' and running the streets but now he sips the finest in a yacht on some private island, so that's what he raps about 90% of the time. I mean that makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe certain artists haven't reached that height in their career to make music about anything else.

on the same note....

While surfing the net, I was pleased to find this article entitled, "Cocaine Rap Continues to Resonate", check it out:

"Cocaine and hip-hop share a long history, but over the last few years, there's been a surge in coke-themed songs and artists -- aka crack rap. The roots of this fad date back to 2002, with the critical and commercial success of both Scarface's "The Fix" and especially the Clipse's "Lord Willin".

While Scarface spoke mostly on the necessary evils of drug dealing, the Clipse's Pusha T and Malice gleefully glorified hustling as the way into wealth rather than path out of poverty. Their songs were cartoonishly outrageous, even by Tony Montana-standards, as they co-opted children's rhymes into coke boasts and dropped punch lines about yayo-smuggling grandmothers.

Four years later and the genre shows little sign of decline. Bay Area rapper E-40 started off 2006 with his ode to blow, "White Gurl." Then a parade of mixtapes like Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne's "I Can't Feel My Face" kept things frosty until the last few weeks where Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come," the Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury" and Young Jeezy's "The Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102" promise that talk of snow this winter won't necessarily be about the weather.
One of the more fascinating outcomes of crack rap's bubbling rise is in its impact on how artists position themselves through a new paradigm of authenticity. Rappers used to rap about rapping. Parochial as it sounds, for at least 15 years, this was good enough to turn lyricists such as Rakim and KRS-One into legends. However, in a slow and steady shift that began with pioneering gangsta rappers like Schoolly D and Eazy-E and then found its apotheosis in Biggie and Jay-Z, being a good rapper was no longer enough to be a good rapper.

To wit: On Jay-Z's 1997 "In My Lifetime, Vol. 1," he opens with this intro: "I ain't no rapper, I'm a hustler. Just so happens I know how to rap." Subtle as it may seem, Jay exemplified a new narrative arc for the king emcee -- from ruler of the crack game to the rap game. Even on "Kingdom Come," his ninth album and first since "retiring" three years ago, Jay is repeating the same message: "I'm just a hustler/disguised as a rapper/in fact you can't fit this hustle/inside of a wrapper." At the core of Jay's boasting is how's he's gone from cooking up crack hits to cranking out rap hits, but even if the background's changed, the hustle remains the same.

Today's cocaine rappers manage to take that even a step further: They never left the kitchen to begin with. It's a point made visually on the cover of the Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury," where Pusha and Malice stand next to a gas-range oven. As they insist on "Keys Open Doors" (they're not talking about Schlage), they've earned enough off coke that they "ain't spent one rap dollar in three years, holla." It's a remarkable and utterly illogical pose: Rappers are rapping about not being rappers, yet there's an odd appeal in listening to artists promote their craft by negating it. Only in hip-hop.

It has not escaped notice that for all the pleasure in celebrating the hustler's credo, the subgenre is, well, amoral, not to mention divorced from reality. Few street dealers ever made fortunes off cocaine -- the profits blew up the chain to the cartels -- and in any case, cocaine and crack use (and related violence) have fallen precipitously since the mid-1990s.

It's tempting to read crack rap as a form of imagined nostalgia. Most of these rappers would've been too young to remember the height of the crack epidemic in the '80s, yet this may be what makes it easier to romanticize the trade and gloss over its deleterious impact. However, what's being promoted isn't nihilism, despite appearances otherwise: It's crack as a metaphor for power. Drugs are deeply symbolic in our culture -- not just in hip-hop but American pop life -- of escape, pleasure, obsession and despair. For a young cadre of rappers trying to one-up their peers, coke has resonated as their signifier for mastery and control.

If hip-hop respects nothing else, it's the idea that simple things can move minds and bodies, whether that power is found in a gun trigger, a raised fist, a mic grip or, as it now seems, trapped in a glass vial. Topically, the trend has to exhaust itself eventually -- in theory at least. When it does, what will future generations think of this crack-rap era? Will they see it as a colorful fad, like polka dots and pastels from the late '80s? Or will they curiously wonder how it is that as fans and artists alike, we stared at the dystopia of cocaine culture and reacted, not with concern or horror, but with rapt fascination and celebration?"

So I'm sure you've heard one of the many songs that have leaked from Miss Mya. I personally cared for NONE of them at all. I was honestly disappointed with every one of them. Like what happened to you Mya. Hit us with another "My Love is Like Wo" at least. Well anyway, this song right here is her OFFICIAL first single. It features none other than Weezy Wee (complete with his ego and all). I don't know what to think about it yet. I'm still indifferent because it just doesn't have that pizzaz that I always look for in a single, well a good one anyway. I would have to say that the chorus and hook it alright, of course, so are Weezy's verses. It just seems that she NEEDED to pull someone for this single to even get it's foot in the door. But check it out for yourselves.

Rest & Relaxation

Well it's Friday ya'll and like M. Dot says,
"Everybody got a way to relax like everybody gotta pay their tax"

Here are just a few facts that I just recently got hip to about our good friend CEO of The High Towers, Cannibus:

• One of the world’s first pharmacy books, the Pen Ts’ao published in China around 2800 BC, recommends cannabis as a medical remedy for nearly every ailment.
• Earliest references to its intoxicating properties appear in the Atharva-Veda, a sacred Indian text dating back to 2000 BC.
• The Greeks and Romans also cultivated cannabis for its fibers, seeds and medicinal applications, most notably as an anesthetic for menstrual cramps and the pain accompanying childbirth.(WOOOORRRRRD!!)
• Throughout the Middle Ages and into the nineteenth century, cannabis was grown throughout Europe and eventually in America. In fact, the first law concerning marijuana in the United States was passed in 1619 by the Virginia assembly and required all households to grow it as a matter of national necessity. Eventually, most of the colonies allowed cannabis to be used as legal tender.(& look at the gov't trippin out now)
• George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were among the Founding Fathers who grew cannabis on their estates.

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman a.k.a BEYONCE

Beyonce attacks again, she seems to be taking over. Yet another one of her songs reaches number 1 status in the USA Billboard top 100. And of course, it's none other than her hit the official ladies anthem, ‘Irreplaceable’. Congrats B she is so on a roll and with "Dreamgirls" about to hit the theaters, she shows no intentions of slowing down. The girl is on just about every magazine cover from here to Baghdad. Hey no complaints over here missy.

Googling Earth, Literally

So apparently I've been slacking because I always heard about daily satellite imaging sent directly from space to the web, but I guess I kind of slept on it(in other words never paid attention to it). Recently, I came across a really interesting webpage that had a link to the site from his page (cool site , Poplicks

Google Earth-Explore, Search, and Discover, check it out Google Earth. The welcome message reads,

"Want to know more about a specific location? Dive right in -- Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips."

By this time they had my complete attention. I was convinced to keep reading. I then stumbled upon the many little features that you could engage in:

• Fly from space to your neighborhood. Type in an address and zoom right in.
  
• Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions.
  
• Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings.
  
• Save and share your searches and favorites. Even add your own annotations

It was crazy because I started to think about that new Denzel movie, "Deja vu". For those that don't know, he plays an agent who goes in back in time by way of government satellites. So now I'm thinking these two subjects are probably linked. There might be a mention of this earth movies type issue in the film. It also seems that you have to download, "Get Google Earth" (the free version). Of course I think, they always have a free version posted up because there is also always a version that you have to pay for. Meaning the free version is probably like an out dated AIM, it really sux. Maybe its a way to lure citizens to willingly let the government keep these life invading tabs on them. They know your place of residence, but not only that, they know the exact time and distance to your crib from their location. They can pretty much spy on you IF they really wanted to. Their agencies probably hold the power of knowing about every single step you take. Buuuuuuut, I'm just saying. Check it out though I guess.....

and P.S they have a top 10 nude people list. Oh yea, they can see people sun bathing dirctly from space. I tell you. those aero-space people are some pervs (kidding).......you can check out that link again over @ Poplicks.com.

Ever since Pharrell's vid "Frontin", I've always thought this chick was so pretty....no homo on that though....then in ATL she just blossomed into this lovely young lady. I hope to see her acting career flourish, because she is a great actress, not to mention she's also young and gorgeous. Anyhoo she celebrated her B-day a few days ago so happy belated miss

Spring Cleaning: Luda

It seems like ever since the whole Oprah incident when she was raggin on rappers, Ludacris decided to find another approach. He cut his hair, and cleaned his look up too. Very classy I must say, and not to mention he put out that very inspirational video, with Mary J. Blige. I think he's trying to prove that no he's not just about Money, cars, clothes, and hoes. I say touche Luda, but for real, you were doing you just fine without the whole polished look. Does Oprah have that much say so these days???

Wind Wit It

I'm not sure how old or new this song is, but I've never heard it, and it's catchy....

Mr. Vegas-Hot Fu#!

Cop it: Hell Hath No Fury

Yes....they've been out of the game for awhile, 4 years to be exact, but it's nothing to come back harder for their second LP. "Hell Hath No Fury", proves to be in a class all it's own. They are still taking risks over quirky, eerie beats and patterns that become catchy and classic in a matter of moments. They hit it on the head with "Grindin'" and do it again with "Wamp, Wamp" and "Mr. Me Too". Of course, The Neptunes return to assist their fellow Virginians step up to the rap game's plate, but Malice and Pusha T drive it home with a flow and delivery all their own. If you haven't already went out and copped this album, then that means you must not have heard anything yet. If that is the case, then you're missing out on a classic. So please indulge,

Lil' Scrappy up North and Down South

So The other day I was engaged in a heated debate regarding Lil' Scrappy. I have always enjoyed his music, the crunk/dirty south appeal is just great. But then I was asked about how I think he would do as a joint G-Unit and BME artist. Well, I say, that just means he's working with two of hip-hop's top sellers. Let's face it, 50 puts out hits, and Lil' jon puts out hits. Exhibit 1, "Money in the Bank", was a very cunning track to comeback with. The beat rocks, you can play it at the club, and in your car, and the phrase, "Money in the bank, shorty what you drank..." became an anthem I hear more than often from just about everyone. And, he still hasn't lost his trademark adlib, "O-k-k-k". I can't wait to see how this joint affair will turn out. Below is a link to yet another track from his, "Born to Live, Bred to Die" album. See what you think about it, is there really a future?? Sources say, mos def.

World's AIDS Day

World's AIDS Day is Friday, December 1 -- a day commemorating the millions of lives lost to this deadly disease, reminding us of the millions suffering from HIV or AIDS, and the millions still at risk. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 3.1 million (between 2.8 and 3.6 million) lives in 2005 of which, more than half a million (570,000) were children.
Let these numbers sink in. They are huge. As YouthAIDS (

Youthaids.org

) National Yoga Ambassador, Seane Corn points out, "There is no vaccine and there is no cure and the life-extending drugs that are available to us in this country are far out of reach for most of the 40 million people who currently live with HIV." She also points out some other harsh stats:
Two young people become infected with HIV every hour in the U.S.
50% of all new infections occur in young people between the ages of 15-24. Most of them don't know they carry the virus.
15 million children have been orphaned by AIDS -- that is the equivalent to every American child under the age of 5.
AIDS kills one child every minute.

What can you do? You can take action that shows you care:
Wear a red ribbon
Talk to people
Go to an event
Get involved

Sappy Days

So as I was organizing through the many sticky, little mental notes in my head, I've decided to compile this excerpt. The theme as you will see draws from attraction, crushes, and most importantly love. Now I suggest you curl up to the movie that is recommended after you read this. Oh and I've got a great list of songs that play up on this theme. Many relationships of course start out as crushes which is always something fun to have, unless of course, you are already happily commited and loving it. It's also good to use your head because following your heart in certain cases may cause you to end up in a Romeo and Juliet like situation. I'm not necessarily talking about ending up shot through the heart or head or anything but situations can arise when you aren't carefuoll. Peep the tale of these two star-crossed lovers (a reference to those who fight against (or cross) their fate, which is written in the stars(look this one up yourself)), that crush definitely didn't end in happiness (like WTF?!!?!).....but the revamped movie is a must see if you haven't already gave it a once over....

It's kind of crazy how something can start off as an innocent attraction and end up making you do all types of crazy s*#! I mean the two were from totally opposite sides ofhe social spectrum.....but yet and still, they managed to work their way around all the B.S But forreal though, crush, lust, love, all of the above, can make you do some crazy things like climbing through windows and s#!*.....just be careful ya'll please.....
