A couple of days ago, I made a bet with a friend....I can't disclose the details of the bet...however, I will say that I won!!!!!!!!!!!

Bust a Moby, You Sexy Tassle You

I ran across this somehow...I clicked on a link that had the word HIPSTER in it...and landed HERE...The website is pretty comical...I've noticed that once you give, a way of life, hobby, culture, etc, a title....it no longer becomes cool...people don't like to be labeled...even if they live that life, they start to deny it...example...call someone a hipster that totally lives the lifestyle of one, and they'll deny it till the death...a hipster is not a bad thing...

THEIR DEFINITION:

Definition of a Hipster
Hipster - One who possesses tastes, social attitudes, and opinions deemed cool by the cool. (Note: it is no longer recommended that one use the term "cool"; a Hipster would instead say "deck.") The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream. A Hipster ideally possesses no more than 2% body fat.

Check their glossary of Hipster terms.....

And now....some music from artists labeled as 'HIPSTERS'
Lupe Fiasco feat. Uness-Kick, Push (remix)-produced by Uness
Cool Kids-88
Jay Electronica feat. The New Royales-Posers
Mickey Factz feat. The Cool Kids-Rockin Rollin

Honestly, I really don't listen to Lil' Mama. I always knew she could spit something vicious, but I never did get into her music. I'll listen to her freestyle any day though, she really is sick. Check the vid.

Colin Munroe- "I Want Those Flashing Lights"

I had no idea there was a video for this. Thank you DC for the heads up. I heard this song for the first time about 2 weeks ago, and I could not stop playing it. If you haven't already heard Colin Munroe's version of "Flashing Lights" titled, "I Want Those Flashing Lights", well here's the video. I absolutely love how he made the song his own, his melody over the beat is superb. The video is directed by Philip Sportel and involves the use of color and of course, lights, some of them flashing. Find the mp3 below as well.

Back in The Day

I was looking through VH1's list of the '100 Greatest Songs of the 90's', and I came across this hit. I remember always hearing this song at block parties and cook outs....it brought back a good feeling. I started reminiscing on the all music during this time period, twas great.

Title: Informer
Album: 12 Inches of Snow (LMAO at the album name)

Pockets Full of Mean Green, Hair Smelling like Pantene

I'm not sure if people will take Katt seriously with this whole music venture, but this song is catchy, and I'm just being real. If it isn't at all appealing to you, you can at least say it's hilarious with all the famous Katt one liners at the end....

"Feedback, Feedback, Feedback, Feedback"...
The choreography is dope, Janet still has it down....

Lupe on Tavis Smiley

For those that didn't catch this anywhere else....Lupe Fiasco on Tavis Smiley....What's funny about this is they initially listed this episode as, 'special guest: :Latino Hip-Hop artist Lupe Fiasco'.....they soon realized their terrible mistake and made the proper revisions...but how did they come to the conclusion that he was latino??? Laughing out loud.....

2008 will make for a GREAT year....

It's 2008...I left the blog hanging for the remainder of 07'...to those that found my blog interesting enough to keep coming back, I apologize for the lack of updates...you know how things go when you're on THE GO...but as far as 2007 goes...I can wrap it up like so...

--I attended my first Lupe Fiasco concert (which was absolutely amazing)
--I went to B-More for thee first time...it was quite the experience
--I am now a co-host for a college hip-hop radio station (so what if it's online)
--The return of 90's style of clothing has left an irritable imprint in my mind...mainly because those same people are trying to act like they're still living in the 90's...carrying around boom boxes that only play 90's jams, rocking high top fades, lacing up busted Reeboks, that they really dug out of their older brother's 90's era box...the same one's that claim music is dead, and will ONLY listen to old Nas and A Tribe Called Quest....NOOOO.....now that it's 2008, is is OVER??
--We lost some greats..Pimp C, Anna Nicole, Ike Turner, Evel Knievel, Luciano Pavarotti...and all others not mentioned...R.I.P
--Bush is even more of an idiot than he was last year
--Fedoras are too cool
--When you're auditioning as a back dancer for Beyonce...be prepared for major head swinging...while simultaneously flailing your arms...all while in 4 inch heels
--These wildfires man have been prrreeeetty scary...
--Has the entire asian race been blanketed now for the incident at Virginia tech??
--Obama vs Clinton....Clinton vs Obama???
--Dog Fighting has always been evil in my eyes...I'm all for the consequences that he has been given...esp. after seeing pictures of those animals...
--Britney...Britney...Britney...who is to blame for your behavior this year???
--And why did you let Silverman get to you right before you went out on stage...that performance could have very well been the re-start of your career...but sadly...it wasn't
--However, "Blackout" was dope!!!
--The Beckhams invade the US....yay?!?!?!
--Kanye West prevails over 50...
--Dr. West (Kanye's mother) unfortunately passes away...rest in peace
--Eddie Murphy and Scary Spice...go half on a baby
--J. Lo is finally prego...and her and Marc embark on a tour
--Bob Barker does his final taping of 'Price is Right' in 07
--The release of Lupe's second album "The Cool"...and people start listening up...

There were more significant events...but they shall all remain as memories....
and I leave you with this....b/c David Letterman is a G for letting that beard grow out...

Lupe performing "Superstar" on Letterman
