So Young, So Lil' . . .

Whose your favorite Rapper? Does His stage name begin with Lil or Young ? The favorite rappers on my list for the moment don't have either of the two monikers in their names, although I do respect one of the Lils who has become a regular in the mixtape assault tactic lol. I just find it funny that you worked your ass off to become a man but soften that proclamation by going by a Lil or Young. Yes this is the entertainment industry but name another genre of music that waters down their worth with these monikers. If you look at the state of hip-hop in general it has taken a trip to the south and stayed there for awhile. Which isn't bad because we've seen good music come out of it. But with a few names from different regions, the south is where these most of these monikers reside. Maybe it is the elements, I could be missing something extremely important in understanding this. I reside in the south but am mentally, a east coast Boston breed YOUNG man. I say young man because I don't believe I've reached the exact level to proclaim myself a man. But Im close, hence the young man part. Do each of these rappers have that explanation to explain their current stage names?

I recall another teeny bopper rapper who came out with "LIL" then removed it around the time he turned 18. That makes sense to me.He came into the game young and little but by the time he got to the legal age he didnt feel the word defined him properly. I never cared for his cockyness but you have to respect him. Note to reporters and industry insiders can you please add to your interview questions "What made you pick your name ?" since I'm unable to politic with these people on a regular basis. Some of them are in their 30's talking about "YOUNG" this & that . Sorry but I laugh at you YOUNG rappers lmao.

Untitled America II

Now obviously this was reported in the more main stream media for whatever reason but WTF ? With all the twisted and crazy people in the world today this causes concern in my eyes. We have JFK , Martin, Malcom,Milk, & Tommy Burks. I point at conspiracy because you can't tell me they would do this with any other candidate. Please give us a valid reason. Are we suppose to believe that they stop screening for weapons to speed up the lines? Please you can't slip this by us. Ummmm again I'll ask is America ready for a black president? This here points to NO !!!!

Interesting picture ? Is this eye of hatred ? Hmmmm i doubt it coming from Hilary. She is probably simply salted by the fact she is losing her campaign to win the democratic vote. But is this the same eye of hatred that is coming from a slew caucasian faces in middle and high america directed towards this strong black man that is in a race for the American presidency?

I hate to agree with a rapper who exploits beef sometimes to sell records and makes all kinds of ludacris comments but what he said isn't so far left. Is America ready for a black president ? ? ?

St. Valentine's Day: Media . . . Love . . . and Chivalry

Hehehehehe . . . So the day is here again. I'm single as usual. Not really caring either. The fact that I've never been in a relationship on Valentine's Day just makes me numb to the whole pagan holiday. I'm not sulking about being lonely like the next girl and guy I know lol. People fail to realize that today is simply big to YOU because you choose to feed into the hoopla. The media is pushing it down your throat and you are falling for it. Who but YOU can tell YOU that you need love. Why are you trying to measure up to what the media says. Personally if I was in a relationship I'd be trying throughout the year to butter and romance my lady so she need not look towards valentine's day for special treatment and gifts.

Now on another note who wants to fall to love? See some people fall in love and some fall TO love. Their personalities fall to the sucker for love syndrome. Signs of this are apparent in their actions. Has their personality been tweaked? Has it done a total 36o? Umm does your tough friend all of a sudden act like a "pussy" (men only). Do you wonder why your girl that was always a close friend to you is suddenly distant and never around ? If there is a significant other involved then they probably are suffering from the sucker for love syndrome. That shit breaks thousands of friendships up a year lol. They do dumb stupid shit because they are in love. Frankly i hate it. He cheats on you, you run back to him. She fucks your cousin and you rub it off. She is pregnant with another mans baby and you stay by her side, Like she aint dog you out like kebbles and bits. Trey Songz couldnt help but wait, but ummm why you want a shawty that will even stand and take that mess? I couldn't put up with a pushover. Not saying I don't want to fall in love but falling TO LOVE . . . . naaaaaaaaa.. . . im good on that one. It's just not in my personality trait pimpin' lol.

Last but not least how about chivalry in 2008 . . . yes I know ladies, chivalry is usually geared towards the male going out of his way for you beautiful women. But come on now, as far as woman have come to properly being accepted as equal including your right to vote etc. Can't we the males be treated special? I mean damn this isn't just a valentine's day thing. If you have a special guy and he is doing you right either in or out a relationship from time to time you need to cater to him a bit. We watch those goofy-giggle-emo-lovey movies , cuddle you when you feel lonely and my SOME of us even step to the store to pick you up tylenol and a slew of other female products just so your comfortable during THAT time. Give us a break lol . . It's really elementary to me when I think of all the girls who are mad nobody did anything for them on valentine's day although THEY didn't raise a finger to try and cater to a man on valentine's day themselves. . . lol just a thought.

"Fish Swimming In Beer"

I think our society is becoming numb to so many things. Really look at your cell phone and tell me how many numbers you know by heart. Remember before laptops and cellulars you had to hand write your whole english essay or remember all your friends number. When was the last time you walk across the street from where you were to make a call on a pay phone. Everything is a lot easier now but is it good for our mental growth. If we use less of our brain power in the name of new technology what exactly will become of the portions of our brain we aren't using anymore? Society is weird because we want these new ways of doing things to make it easier on ourselves but we loose some of our intelligence with certain aspects of it. I never thought I would have a device that stored over 10,000 songs rather than have a walkman which i had to manually press rewind/forward to get to a song I wanted to hear. Think about how lazy we are, do you realize that the average American is overweight. It's all just a thought. It kind of makes me want to step back a moment and maybe re-memorize the important numbers in my phone or do my math our instead of using a calculator . . . JUST to keep my brain exercised lol.
