I'm sitting at home wrapped in my comfortable blanket, searching Andy Warhol paintings via Blackberry. Something about these paintings inspire me to write. Inspire me to think deep and tap into my creative imagination.
I'm starting to feel as if I need to turn music into my full time hustle.

Heartbreaks, Headaches & Shutter Shades
I was searching the inter web for some new Zshares and I came across a couple reviews of Kanye West’s 808’s & Heartbreaks and one thing that stuck out to me in the review and in the comment sections is that a lot of people are calling this a GOOD, and dare I say CLASSIC album. WHY because it’s different and when a cboy disagrees he is labeled as closed minded and not being a fan of music; because according to these deaf band wagoners this is not Hip Hop it is good Music. The One thing that came to my mind is BULLSHIT; this is good music to people who don’t know good music. This is good music to people who first heard Paper Planes when rappers jumped there broke asses on it, this is music to people who think Lil’ Wayne’s last album was classic. This is good music to people who don’t know shit let alone good music. And Damn why didn’t Common get that defense on Electric Circus that was better than 808’s and that didn’t get called good music
I personally listen to real music my Windows Media Player is filled with more genres than Kanye has skinny jeans, and shutter shades combined, so don’t put me in that category of not knowing music. I love College Dropout, Late Registration was good, Graduation was cool, and I just like to forget 808’s was every released.
Although I did not hear the whole 808’s I’ve heard all the leaks which are 10 of the 12, and that is enough to know when I hear a LP not even worth my Dell’s 80mb’s; cause that’s space that a Asian being power drove could occupy. Kanye reasoning for sucking T-Pain’s plastic voice pipe is because he went through to much and he had to let his emotions out. Well there is another way of doing this besides stealing two swags (what up Kid Cudi, sorry another “rapper” signed you just to run with your style, good look on the ghostwriting for him too), maybe Song Cry and most of DMX’s songs(that man cries on stage tell me that isn’t emotional songs). These are personal and Hip Hop, so don’t say it’s not possible. Also if it was supposed to be filled with emotions why would he put features on something that is supposed to be for HIS losses, after hearing 808’s I should want to cry not blog about how overrated the album is(If any one person was close to shedding a tear I may renege).
Anyway the reviewers who reviewed this have been reviewing “Hip Hop” or “Rap” only, so when something different comes there way they don’t know how to come about it. They don’t know real music so they think that if they call it real music no one will catch them on it, well I did. But maybe that’s not it, maybe the only people who could get advances are people who sold their soul and integrity to give the GOOD music head a good rating(what up Star Track). I can not wait until Okayplayer and Rolling Stones post some real journalism. Anyway the moral of the story is stop coat tailing, and listen to real music before you call something real music.
P.S. Does Kanye have this much juice that he puts out crap and it still gets labeled good, damn Jay(Kingdom Come) you couldn’t even do that, I guess little brothers about to son you.

"Year Of The Gentlemen"
In today's society our youth lack respect, mannerism, & adequacy
Don't get me wrong its cool to use slang when its appropriate
But for the most part when your in the public eye one should
present himself as a "Gentlemen" after viewing a FEW pages of John Bridges' "How To Be A Gentlemen"
I've came to the conclusion that every young man should own this book.
Mind you a portion of this book is common sense.
BUT there comes a time in every mans life where his mother is
no longer around to give him guidance.
This book is an perfect example of an handy guide for a contemporary
gentlemen.
Be sure to check it out, & be sure to give me some opinions!
PS. new music coming soon
