Seeing Sounds.... Album Review...

On June 10th 2008, N.E.R.D. dropped their third album "Seeing Sounds" Pharrell Williams , Chad Hugo and Shae Haley decided to end their 3 year hiatus and it was time to kill the music game. When it was time to drop single these songs turned into hits "Everybody Nose (All Girls Standing Line for the Bathroom)" and "Spaz" the song which feature on the Microsoft Zune commercial.

From girls, crazy people, love and haters, N.E.R.D. take us on a journey of crazy drum loops, simple guitar chord and random sax riffs to magnify characters in these songs that we can identify with.

Front to back this album has you laughing, moving and frequently askin, "what did he just say?"

Being a huge fan of music, a hip hop fanatic and rock/alternative head I can definitely say the over saturation and commercialization in the industry has you fiendin for something that is neither of these. "So much sound like dirt today/Turn on the radio and it make you thirst away." I couldnt put it better than Pharrell and N.E.R.D as they defend their position, and declare their legitimacy in this dog eat dog industry,with the bonus track "Laser Gun."

Downloadables:
Anti-Matter
Kill Joy
Yeah You
Laser Gun

Where Have I Been?

So as many of you know,(because I'm late apparently) Anthony David just drop his freshman album, Acey Duecy recently, with his hit single "Words" featuring the always bombdotcom India.Arie. Well today I got an email from my best friend (Biggups to Lamar) of the video. This was the first time i heard the song and instantly fell in love (instantly like I didnt even get to the chorus...LOL)

Most of yall know I love hypebeast that is one of my fav site's. For those who dont know this is a fashion, music, art blog which showcases international "urban" shit (i hate labels btw). These are like some of the sweetest shoes that have dropped so far this summer. I ve seen many kicks in the past couple days but these rock.

Ya digg!!

I know that we are probably spent on this video, but i cant negate the fact that this is on of the funniest vids on Youtube in 2008.


Ya digg!!

USA 2008 Olympics Basketball, Will they win us the Gold?

Congrats to the cats that are going to represent us in China in August.


Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets);
Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz);
Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors);
Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers);
Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic);
LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers);
Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks);
Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets);
Tayshaun Prince (Detroit Pistons);
Michael Redd (Milwaukee Bucks);
Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat); and
Deron Williams (Utah Jazz).

I personally dont have as much faith in this team as the coaches and managing director. I feel that there were many beasts in the game right and wont be going to Beijing. Then again there are reports that say that some cats did not want to play and these are the final 12 out of the 33. The only time in life when I rep my country is the World Cup (FIFA) and the Olympics, so I wanna see some damn Gold fuck a Bronze (Athens 2004.)
Ya digg!!

And Shaq still cant rap...

Shaq may talk about how he has all these plaques in the rap game, 2 plat and 2 gold, (sad and we talk about soulja boy). This dude is still weak, but the flow that he put down at the club, the other night was hilarious.

Ya digg!!

NE-YO can rap???!!

Ne-Yo disses somebody (who the hell knows) and goes hard on "A Milli" Freestyle...

Ne-Yo

NYOIL "Yall Should Get Lynched"



NYOIL a relevant rapper in the game right now. His aim is usually along the "socially conscience" lines of black people being mystified and coonery.

I think he has alot to say, but he also needs to be educated a bit about some of the content in the song and the video.

What are your views?

The Beef Continues??



Ok, at this point I cant take Ice-T seriously he is on something, and I think he has nothing better to do. Especially now that he is getting his son involved.



BTW, why the hell would Ice-T make a comment about hip hop never being about dance, bro pay homage to the East coast cats that started it all hip hop was ALWAYS about dance...duh....

On another note who is to say that Soulja Boy Tellem doesnt "bleed" while he's in the studio and who is to say that the rappers you named actually do... that's irrelevant and subjective....

These old heads are getting outta hand with dissing or down playin the artist that are in the limelight these days.... I think they are doing the same thing that the naysayers of their day was doing...

So I ask where is the LOVE in that?

Who is Killin who???

I know several blogs have posted this, but I just wanted to share my views on the situation.

Recently Ice-T called out Soulja Boy Tellem and said that he should eat a dick and he was killing hip hop. Really???

Lets rewind because that is like calling the kettle black. When the west coast gangsta rap hit the scene many cats were saying that NWA, Ice-T and all the otha cats was ruining the game, especially since they are the same artists that are accredited to introducing "bitch" and "ho" to hip hop.

Ice-T you got my respect but that your ignorant for your statements.






Seeing Sounds


N.E.R.D.'s Seeing Sounds is definitely one of the BEST albums of the summer. From the beginning to end the group has you encapsulated with catchy hooks, futuristic and experimental production only the Neptunes could actually get away with.

This album is definitely a must cop for the summer....

I am BLESSED what can I Say.....

Being in Oxford Ohio doesnt usually call for the GREATEST birthday celebrations (though i've had some great fun... hehe), but on my 22nd I had fun. It was mostly a relaxed day.

However, I was more excited that I woke up in an unusually un-depressive mood so i decided to clean my house after not cleaning for like weeks (really bad for business i might add). Then my sister friend came by and we kicked it (later on join my another ride or die).

From the swimming pool to the photo shoot and short short documentary, the almost tear jerking cards, money (Thank ya LAWDY!!!) 22 candles in the ice cream, five candles actually being lit, gifts, hot salsa with slamming chips and the premiere of American Best Dance Crew.

It was ALL good. I have feeling however, that my celebrations are not over... I have a knack for celebrating my b-day for like 3 months (21st had 3 parties and then some until august....hehe the memories)

This was truly an unforgettable day...

Double Dueces....



I AM 22 TODAY....


I think God that I have lived to see 22 years. I am also grateful that I have been surrounded by the bomb family and friends that held me down all these years (effie white line...LOL!).

So....

I'm gonna go hard.... I owe this myself...

And the Winner is....


So....

Though I wanted the to Lakers to win, the Celtics showed in Game 6 that they deserved the title. At the end of the day I cant hate on the KG and Paul Pierce or the fact the Ray Allen couldnt see worth a damn but wanted to be a part of the win.

Congrats to Celtics and Congrats to Boston in the past couple years, Boston has come through and won after being losers for decades first breaking the curse with in baseball then when the 17th title on June 17th. It was all worth the wait!!

Lakers... Making History



Ok.....

So for all the cats that THOUGHT the Lakers were gonna get swept by the Celtic, sorry but you need to get ready to work on the corners to pay the practical basketball fans back. Yes, the practical fans are the Laker fans. I know the team demographic has changed so much in the past 5 years that most people cant get with the players. But did you really believe that Kobe, Fisher and Odom was going let Garnett and Pierce get the win at the Staples Center.... That concept is actually funnier than a Dave Chapelle skit.

So as we fly back to the east coast clover fans remember this, Lakers are making history and they deserve the ring I mean the MVP plays in LA....




As if....

So being back in Oxford has proved to be no more interesting than my time back home in Cols. Though I am not surprised, it has inclined me to be more devastated. For the past week I still have not gotten anything accomplished concerning my academics, and have been so depressed I have contemplated actually applying for grad school. Because this city is so boring and pretty much a facade I really feel like I have been a prisoner in my own house.

I hate Oxford and more so the fact that I have to be here another year...

Kanye, one of my role models spits one of the illest freestyles that i have heard in a while






KANYE SAVES THE WORLD. from Bobby Hundreds on Vimeo.


“Open up your Bibles, let’s hear from the Reverend
I’m two number 1’s so, together I’m 11
she a 10, i’m number 1, together we 11 ….
her girlfriend a 7, sent her to 7-11
she a 10, her girl a 7, so together 17
let me see your I.D., only 17?
Eeesh! That could’ve fucked up everything
like he already don’t like me
always hollerin’ white T
dressed like I’m HypeBeast
smiling in my white teeth
don’t go against the Ameri-Kan dream
together we like the King in Marathon team
Team, team, let me show how he seen
Three black acts that spit that crack
Never push that ‘Lac, I rather push something German
Looking for a Sweedish girl that I can put my sperm in
Preach, my brother, don’t stop the sermon
All i see is green, call me Eric Sherman
All I spit is thermal, long sleeve flannel
when i touch the verse, don’t touch the channel
I bought the rat a purse, she keep callin it Chan(n)el
I’m such an ass, so she callin me ano [ano=spanish for anus]
never hit a girl anal, but I run shit ANNUAL
Now that’s some dumb shit, I said I never hit it anal
but i run shit, dumb bitch
and i mean bitch in the nicest sense of the word
just act like i was a nice, sensitive nerd
that a female dog, cause i don’t dog all females
except for the ones that’s in it for the retail
they see what you got, they see what we sell
get married so much, them girls on re-sale
they watched the draft, they got your jersey already
she done picked out a crib out in Jersey already
she bout to be pregnant by Thursday already
congratulations baby boy, on your new baby boy”
