I used to lover H.E.R...ahead of its time
Just listening to some Common and I used to love HER and I started to think..this song came out in 1994 and it is more relevant now than ever. He talks about how the man told "her" if she gotta image and a gimmick she could make money and she did it like a dummy...this is the truth man.
around 2005-6 this is exactly what rappers did
"Now I see her in commercials, shes universal
She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb shit, when she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin glocks servin rocks and hittin switches
Now shes a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches"
Want to know something? I think Hip Hop is going back to that innocence and fun loving nature. Before all the guns and killing people and selling drugs. And no im not talking about what you hear on the radio, forget what the mainstream media makes us listen to. I'm talking about waiting online for your favorite artist to drop his mixtape. Listening to people no one has heard of just because you LIKE their music. The era of the mixtapes is back...just digital. The little random shows in small places also contributes. I have no problem with the radio not playing my artists...keeps the exclusivity. Now they all just need to find a way to make money off of not going mainstream lol

RIngtones can tell you a lot about a person..
So I decided to do a social experiment via Twitter. Me and Mike had a convo about how you can tell a lot about a person from their ringtone. Most of it was about what type of music they listen to (go figure) but there are also other factors and that is what my experiment was about. Im only making a generalization about them based on their ringtone.
*Disclaimer: This is just for fun and I have exaggerated these profiles a little but Im sure we all know people like this lol
Suspect: Hypebeast
Ringtone: Some artist that big on the internets.
What it says: They wear Nike SB, bight colors, sag pants, and are up on the brands that go along with that culture (Hundreds,Surpreme,Gshock Watches,Nike SB,OG Jordans,AnythingKanye...).They would do anything to "break necks" and never miss an opportunity to show off their sneakers. They would do ANYTHING to get their hands on their grails. They also think Jay-Z should shut his Old behind up (blasphemy smh)
Suspect: The cute girl.
Her ringtone: Ether (or any hardcore rap music)
What it says: Shes not that innocent. She probably also has in depth knowledge of Hip Hop and listens to things that would surprise you. Expect this girl to be different and a little crazy.
Suspect: The other cute girl
Ringtone: Beyonce, Rhinna, any ne Pop or R&B
What it says: She probably listens to the TOP 40 hits and doesnt mind tuning into the radio. Her knowledge of hip hop doesnt run to deep but she could care less.Her ringtone blasts loudly in inappropriate places and annoys people because they have heard the song a million times.
Suspect: Club Goer
Ringtone: Swag Surfing
What it says: If your from up north, its probably a novelty ringtone and you get drunk in the club and sing it at the top of your lungs. If you are from the south you probably wear 5X tees and dickey shorts and get drunk in the club and sing it at the top of your lungs. If your are a female from the south, you probably have tattoos on your arms/thighs/neck and get drunk in the club and sing it at the top of your lungs.
Suspect:Loner
Ringtone: Some underground artist that no ones ever heard of.
What it says: This person is always trying to be different and not go with the flow. They probably dont listen to the radio because they think its corrupted by mainstream garbage. They get mad when favorite rappers go mainstream and "forget where they came from". They are probably also outcasts and have few friends.
Suspect: Anyone
Ringtone:Chingy
What it says: This person is extremely out of date. They probably had the ringtone since the song came out. They are probably more occupied by school and or work and possibly dont watch much TV either. (they can also fit into the OTHER cute girl profile)
Suspect: 24-35 ish people
Ringtone: Jayz Nas Big Pac
What it says: Old school hip hop head. They HATE new music, tight pants, and bright colors. They believe the glory days where the 90s and most likely get pissed hearing to Drake on the radio. They believe that there is no lyrical content in todays "hip hop" and are tired of hearing rappers talk about their feelings. Their slogan is "it will never be the same". They also wouldnt call it hip hop.
Suspect: Anyone
Ringtone: Something with Autotune
What it says: Not up on real hiphop, wants to pop champagne and listen to dj webstar and ron browz. Probably also wants Jay-Z to shut his old behind up(again...blasphemy)
Suspect:Anyone
Ringtone: None
What it says: Either they are not technology inclined, they dont care or they feel like this:

Unlikely Samples... Drake Brias Interlude
I know a lot of ppl that have no clue what the voices in Brias Interlude are saying, I was one of them lol It sounded familiar when i first heard it but I couldnt place the song. Its actually a song from Missy And they are saying
"Come on Missy fly with me, fly with me
Come on Missy drive with me"
Pretty much nothing to do with the song but still sounds good none the less lol.
Drake: Brias Interlude
Sampled from
Missy ft. Genuwine: Friendly Skies

Unlikely Samples...Song Cry/Brooklyn Girls
Starting a new re-occurring blogpost. I know im not the only one that is excited when i hear the original songs that current song sampled. Its like a rush every time...weird I know. Its very interesting to me to hear how people that make beats chop things up and can take something and completely change it into something so different but still the same. Just to pick out one little thing and make an entire beat...I really see it as an art, you have to be really creative and have a super open mind. Much respect.
Even if you know these, its still nice to hear them.
Jay-Z:Song Cry
Sampled From
Bobby Glenn:Sounds like a love song
Charles Hamilton:Brooklyn Girls
Sampled from:
KP & Envyi - Shorty Swing My Way

I love the state Hip Hop is in..yea I said it
Honestly I can see the complete change right now and I aint Mcdonalds but I'm loving it. No I'm not talking about all the one hit songs that play over and over on the radio but I'm talking about the artists that put out numerous mixtapes on the net for their fans and the way stuff is changing. Social networking such as twitter and blogs make it easier artists to communicate with their fans and let them know whats going on. With all the new music being released daily its a hip hop heads delight. These artists arent just people that we cant see or get to know, the internet has made their live accessible to their fans which i think is fantastic. For example I see Charles Hamilton talking to himself on twitter, I see Whiz Kalifa smokin an L on his live stream, I see Joe Budden twittering and video blogging everyday, this stuff just makes us feel like we know them. Music has become so much more personal, which i like, Drake has always wrote his feelings down, or rather type them in his blackberry, and I can relate to almost every song he puts out. I guess the theme of thsi post is how personal music has become and i think its for the better. I will probably revise this blog later because I dont feel like i have made myself clear lol.

If you dont think Drake is the truth..
Kill yourself. I know i have consecutive Drake posts but he deserves it. Have you heard him? If you havent I'll put you on hit me up. He isnt even signed to a label for sure and he dropped MIXTAPES, he sold out concerts, got the internets going crazy smh I dont even think I can do him justice by blogging about him. Seriously he's in my top five hands down. Just peep this video, he doesnt even have to perform his own songs, peep the genuine smile on his face. I'm sure hes just as shocked that he became so popular off ONE MIXTAPE. I predict great thinks for Heartbreak Drake.
Btw, Jay-Z&Drake might be touring, you should already know Susie is beyond dead.

Drake...I say he's the best..
Recent convo with Mike. Real talk, Drake is the next big thing, and he is honestly one of my favorite rappers and if you know me you know its hard for me to say that about anyone besides Jigga, Nas, & Styles. Drake is humble and seems like your average everyday person and thats what makes his appeal so much more interesting than other rappers. His persona reminds me of a Nas but less hardcore and mad at life lol if that make sense, mix that with a lil Jay maybe (makes sense in my mind dont know how else to put it). I suggest people listen to his older stuff and I always tell people that when the mention him. Its crazy that his older stuff was so much better than So far Gone yet people love him off this MIXTAPE. Thousands of downloads on the first day, its a freaking MIXTAPE. He hasnt even dropped an album and no one really even knows where he is signed to lol. On top of all that, hes fine.

Hip-Hop no longer for the cool kids?

Admit it, the big time rappers like 50, Jay-Z, blah blah had to be the cool popular guys in high school, not exactly high school but you know what I mean. The girls wanted them because they were "hustlers" they were the bad boys and everyone wanted to be like them, even to this day. Think about it if they were all in high school together they would be at the popular table. But for 2009 it seems like this trend is changing, just look at the new artists we have out there they arent your average murderer, drug dealer, women chasing guys. They are the outcasts, skinny guys that no one ever wanted anything to do with. With artists like Drake, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton, B.O.B, Kid Cudi, Mickey Factz and others these guys would be the losers of high school. THink about it, can't you see Charles Hamilton being pushed around by the jocks and people would either love him or hate him just because he was so different and like stupid stuff, Kid Cudi would be the typical stoner guy that only chills with other stoners and maybe chilled with Asher, Drake would be the mellow guy that kept to himself but was still cool, Asher Roth would be the white guy that other white people loved but the black people probably wouldnt because his freestyles were wack, B.O.B would be the weird guy no one really understood, Mickey Factz would be the guy that seemed more stuck up, all in all Hip-Hop is changing vastly and you better get ready for it now. I personally like all the artists that I mentioned and I know for a fact that the losers and outcasts in high school WILL be getting play lol Congratulations ladies. Meanwhile we are expected to look like Nicki Minaj smh.

Black people love hot sauce? WHO KNEW!
So we went to IHOP, yes the breakfast place, and instead of the waitress bringing out just one bottle of hot sauce, she brings out two, now is she trying to say something because it was a table of all black people?
*disclaimer: no im not ignorant, nor do i think everyone is raciest, this is just a joke, but she did bring us extra sauce for no apparent reason lol.
