OK so Kanye West the human being, needs a lot of work because frankly his antics are starting to get under my skin. I have supported homie from day one but his overcooked "Muhammad Ali" speeches about how he is the greatest just makes me say "Gimme a break dude." I love his music, he truly makes Hip Hop an art form but "the greatest?", sorry my ninja I don't think so. Talented, gifted, and truly an artist. On the other hand arrogant, egostistical, and truly an asshole.....
Then again, he will just say that "He is the one to hate but I love what he makes.".....Got that damn right, that's why I illegally downloaded your album, :-).
Lol...love you Yeezy.
Heartbreak-----Dope.

Artist Profile: N.W.A.
Since my Ipod has officially become dysfunctional, I have been brought back to good ole compact discs and music streaming websites. In my journey of where am I musically, I decide to take a ride on the West Side. Now, The Chronic is still on regular rotation in my dorms but I wanted to go a little further back than that. I am a 90's baby (80's born 90's raised) to the depth but i'm still a hip hip head so the eighty eight is essential and no one bust through better than N.W.A. This group single handedly changed hip hop forever. No one had ever heard so much violence, aggression, blatant and upfront misogyny and all around honesty on record before. I mean Slick Rick told stories in Indian Girl and the Moment I Feared but those are clever and witty metaphors used as entertainment. N.W.A. flat out let you know what life was like for black people in the battlefield of California. Out of this great rap invention came rap legends like Ice Cube and Dre,who are still living legends and relevant in the game. Seriously,people sleep on Ice cube's tough lyrics....seriosuly Cube is the truth. Besides their honest and political approach to the young "nigga's " plight, there are hilarious studio tales too. Eazy-E was probably the funniest of them all, his "I Don't Give a F***" attitude made you just sit and wait for the next joke he would crack. For me, they remind of the guys around the way who would look out for me when I was growing up. Undeniably legends in hip hop.
F.Y.I. If I had some big speakers right now, I'd be bumping Dope Man....one of the illest West Coast beats ever.
P.S. I'm officially rocking the Polo Sweatshirts, skinny jeans and the high top Nike Air Assaults, and my gold name plate chain.

Artist Profile: N.E.R.D.
In my fragile musical state (My Ipod erased errything I had), I am (re)discovering
bands that I have overlooked to make room for new music. Like I love music with all my heart and I'm an official hip head (try me, so I get in modes and sometimes abandon and neglect certain music for a period of time. On my journey, I have blew the dust off of my N.E.R.D. joints and have completely fell in love all over again. It's like when you get divorced and remarried. From Rockstar to Baby Doll to Run to the Sun or the entire Seeing Sounds album, I am completely in an ethereal wasteland. It reminds me of high school when I hung out with a "Downtown" sorta crowd and listened to 70's rock. N.E.R.D. is nothing more than the musical stylings of say Heart mixed with the B Boy style of Special ED. Plus Pharrell is the epitome of the type of guy I'm looking for at the present moment. So if he is on the other side of the door then I will join "ALL THE GIRLS STANDING IN THE LINE FOR THE BATHROOM"

Word??
So I am MAD late with appreciating her but I'm very finicky about jumping on bandwagons so I can be seen as "Cool and Hip" but I have to admit this girl is the ish....She is like a more melodic version of MIA (someone I was obsessed with before Paper Planes)....I remember when they were previewing her for the music that was to appear on Season 4 of the Hills, I was interested but not necessarily sold. Now the Go Hard remix with Jay-Z is pretty TUFF!!! Not to mention, she has been stamped with BK, (slowly becoming my home)....BK usually can be relied on for quality good music....plus she's fly.....I'm sensing inspiration....
Love B.
