the wait is finally over.

welcome to the mad house.

Finally, the wait is over.
even though i've already gotten my feet wet before the album was officially released, i made the trip to Best Buy to purchase a copy of one of the most anticipated albums this year, Rated R. the latest release from my wife. i mean, Rihanna. [though walmart has everything in the freakin world, i do not suggest buying your CDs there. they only carry the amended versions. so, unless you want the clean version.. go to a best buy, f.y.e. wherever.] but anyway... OMG. i am so in love with this album. i bet you're thinking "oh, he loves rihanna of course he loves the album" but.. thats not entirely true. you can't love everything a person does. of the thirteen tracks, i'd say i have listened to about 4 on repeat. lol. i even love the intro, "Mad House." it has a kind of "Thriller" vibe, and it kind of sets the tone for the album. the basic concept of the album is somewhat dark and cynical. She requested songs with somber vibe, but not just dark for the sake of being dark; she wanted dark songs that had some kind of meaning. Rihanna collaborated with a grip of decorated song-writers and producers on the album, including Chuck Harmony, The-Dream, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Chase & Status, Stargate, Demo, and Justin Timberlake. this album has already spawned a few hits; "Russian Roulette", the first single, was released on November 3, 2009, debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number one-hundred, and peaked at number 9 - giving Rihanna her twelfth top 10 single of her career. "Wait Your Turn", was sent to radio as the second UK and European single on November 7, 2009. It will be physically released in 2010. "Hard", the second US single. the song features Young Jeezy, and was sent to Hot 97 by Def Jam. It reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs without physically being released. a few of my absolute favorites from the album are: mad house, rockstar 101, rude boy, photographs, and G4L. in the beginning, i had a hard time connecting with the songs "Stupid in Love and "Fire Bomb" mainly because they seemed for people who were in love or something.. but after a few more listens it hit me. and now i OFFICIALLY like the whole album. lol. if you haven't picked up a copy, you are crazy. this is definitely a must have. make sure that even if you downloaded the album already, you still buy an album.. i mean... how can you sleep at night?? you animal! lmao.
ps. i got a little carried away with the "R" lmao. #sahrry.
a few videos?

5 Star Chick Official Remix (Official Video)


5 Stars... Bitch.

literally dead at the sight of Nicki Minaj in this video. she is so damn bangin. anyway tho. this is the official video for the remix to Yo Gotti's single, 5 Star Chick featuring Gucci Mane, Trina, and Nicki Minaj. so unless you are lameeeee, you know about nicki minaj. she's been on for a while with the whole mixtapes thing, but she is just now starting to get some radio-play with the remixes she has been featured on like this one, and the remix to Mario's "Break Up" but now she is going for her first role in an official video. i'm sure this is gonna be on BET, dunno about MTV .. they be trippn when it comes to gucci. lol. anyway tho. trina looks nice as usual. idk why they were both wearing colored contacts (at least they fit them and weren't like... emerald green or some sht) but i wanted to point out the job WHOEVER did on Minaj's make-up. sht looks ca-razy. i can't wait until she blows up, and releases a full album.

Tossed Him out the Window - Ron Browz Dropped From Label


Ron Browz Dropped from Universal Motown Records


is it me or does everybody else here auto-tune when he talks? apparently, producer/recording artist Ron Browz has been dropped from his label. yea, ALREADY. that's too bad.. i didn't really care for this guy, but i didn't have a problem with the tracks he's recorded or been featured on either. i guess DOA is taking out the weakest auto-tune users (or ABusers). i mean, even T.Pain himself has recorded some non-auto-tune tracks. no one is really sure whats gonna happen with his division of Universal Motown, Ether Boy Records.. but really tho, who cares?

She Had A Man... before Jay? hmpf.



supposedly, this guy was Beyonce's man, before Jay Z..


like for real.. she's had somebody else? idk why i was thinkin she has been with Jay-Z since birth or something. lol. (it has been like forever). anyway, this guy claims to have been Bee's teenage love affair (haha), and goes on to say... get this: he believes if other people hadn't have gotten involved in their lil "relationship," they would still be together. HA.

Affion?? lmao. as for the chick in this video... she played a good Rihanna until the end. but they had this video DOWN. all the outfits was like.. cheap (yet oddly perfectly alike) versions of the actual ones from the real video. watch it and leave some comments!

It's That Dirty Money!


before you read this... watch the video.
or at least listen to the song. if you are from NY, you will most likely love this song (well i know i do. lol.) with a few bars from B.I.G and this crazy beat, this makes the song a quick favorite for a brooklyn kid like me. now before i begin.. i'm gonna go ahead and state the obvious: the verses sound about 87% 808s and Heartbreak. anyway tho, i'm in love with this song. you should know about (or atleast have heard about) Dirty Money, unless you don't have internet or something. Dirty Money is a group formed by Diddy, which, consists of himself, Dawn Richards (to be known from this point as: Neon), and Kalenna aka Flux. now.. for anybody that knows me personally, you would know that Dawn is my mistress. yep, runner-up, right after Rihanna. I'm not going to go into detail about Neon, because everybody who has watched MTV (which Diddy must own by now) within the past 5-6 years should know by now who she is and why she's the only one that didn't get her contract ripped up. but Kalenna, or Flux as she is referred to when speaking of Dirty Money, is the other girl in that pic over there.. yea, the one in the Lou's (who-wee!). idk that much about her, but she must be doing something behind the scenes to end up in such a group. (y'all nasty! she ain't fckn him or nothin. lmao.) my guess is that she has been in Diddy's camp for a while as either a writer or someone who does good harmonies and is great for backup vocals. eh, idk, but she's alright with me for now. Diddy's latest release "Angels" is the second single to be leaked from the upcoming album Last Train to Paris which, according to his official myspace, is set to be released: September 22, 2009 (my bday is 9/25.. birthday gift? :]). this song is a good way to show the variety that you will get with this album. most people were thinking the album would be a bunch of crazy, pop, electrofunk -ness, but this shows that there will be something for everyone. i think this single also shows how diddy could utilize autotune to his advantage by not trying to OD with his "vocals" and even though he is not a singer, it sounds very good. i was impressed when i was watching his show on MTV and they showed him in the studio recording this song. so far my iTunes says i've played the song 23 times already. thats almost at the amount of plays the previous single "Love Come Down" has. this track shows that crazy, pop, electrofunk -ness but in a good way. i'm pleased, and i can't wait to get the CD.

The One - Mary J. Blige Ft. Drake (Thumbs Up.)



Satisfied.

mary is back (again), and i've been blastin this song everytime i heard it, even on that AT&T commercial. its just that hot. this is good for all audiences; my mom loves it because... well its MJB, we teens or younger folk feelin it because its... well MJB, with a lil drake on the side. lol. i love this video because its simple, but it seems like there is a lot that went into it. Mary shows off some of her dance moves; which we haven't seen since Family Affair. she looks damn good in this video and i love her with short hair (not that that little braided, wrap, thing isn't nice too..). this is definitely one of the top 5 MJB videos. This single is off of her latest album, "Stronger" set to be released November 24, 2009 (mark your damn calenders!) how you feel about it?





Stonger / More than a Game
The video for Mary J. Blige's title track, "Stronger" serves as a promotional tool for the Lebron James movie More than a Game that's due out later this fall. eh.. just watch it for more new MJB and photos and videos of a young LeBron.

RULES:

1. you must have the selected item (duh).
2. pics must be clear and show the item in good light.
3. if you have to photoshop it, keep it to a minimum.

this one goes out to my homie JR! lmao. but really, he hit me up and told me the video was already out. i couldn't even write a review because i was still gettin dressed. lol. anyway tho. this video is exactly like i thought it would be. though the official video has NOT aired in the US as of yet, it should premiere on MTV tomorrow (8/21/09). the video originally aired on MTV Germany and MTV Africa so... um yes Stephie, this is as EXCLUSIVE as it gets. lmao. i love the video personally, and i'm sure you all know why. rihanna looks so good in the video and really, why do people say this was a good way to comeback? she never left. once again, make sure you tune in to the premiere of the Jay Leno show (Sept. 15 - google it for show-times in your area.) to see the live performance!

that sentence basically sums up this post. and me.



this has got to be my favorite post to date. two of the things i love to see. Rihanna and Louboutin. its like sex! lmao. i saw the Louboutin Manicure article a while ago, but i just found this pic of Rihanna when i was surfing the web today. i had to post. theres only a few females around here who are on this level of fashion sense, but i know a few who pull it off very well. but please. don't get your nails done like this and think its ok to wear some fckn skechers. lol.

these are my three favorite items from their collection. its all dope, but these are definitely a few of the more versatile pieces. i like the striped sweatshirt the most just because its simple and you could wear that with nearly anything. the white detailed shirt would be way better than some boring polo. and no need to explain those dip-dyed jeans. i'd cop these three items before anything else.

"Run This Town" Video Shoot




On The Set of...

Jay-Z's latest video-shoot, Run This Town from his upcoming eleventh studio album, " The Blueprint 3" someone decided to snap a few pics (hallelujah! thank ya Jee-Zuhs!). This track features none other than my wife and Kanye West. I can't wait until this video is finally out. and from the looks of the leaked pics it seems exactly like i imagined. dark and sinister lookin' lol. i was thinking it would be like night time and it would be a mob of people holdin up like the "ROC" walking down fulton street or something.. lmao. yea, that might be a bit outdated. but it looks promising. and of course Rihanna looks hot (surprise! lol.) and Kanye looks like a mini Hov. but he still looks dope. and it looks like his lover Amber Rose likes to watch her man work. check out the pics if you haven't already. leave some feedback on how you think the video will come out.

Run This Town (EXCLUSIVE)

OH YES.
if you didn't know about this track. wtf is wrong with you? lmao. i've been WAITING for the official track to drop. its been playing for like an hour straight. his last single, D.O.A was definitely hot (but really... is jay-z trying to become one of those rappers who have some famous ad-lib? what's with at "arghh" thing he's been doing lately? lol.). the newest single from his album, The Blueprint 3, scheduled to be released 9/11 (please stop releasing albums and movies and all that other BS on this day. wtf), and i'm probably gonna go get it on the 12th. nonetheless, it features my baby mama Rihanna and Kanye gets it in on his verse. this song is hot and its gonna do some damage on the radios. i reallllllly cannot wait for the video. i know it's gonna be DOPE. speaking of rihanna, new album, hell yes. :)click the single cover to go directly to Jay-Z's official myspace to hear Run This Town and all of his other hot tracks. this is officially my new jam.

Paperbag Edition.




Absolutely Not.


what is the problem? why are all of these beautiful woman "shaving" they heads (considering most of them have just takin out some tracks, and been bald all along)? don't get me wrong, i'm sure this all started at Amber Rose's house as some kind of female empowerment thing where she shaves her head to show that she's not conforming to the MAN's idea of beauty. and i think that AMBER ROSE looks banginn, no doubt.. then, Cassie decided to hop on. now.. i don't really agree with what she did because it looks like she was doing the Britney Spears thing but changed her mind. i think she should just go all the way. i think that Cassie is the only one out there who actually needs to SHAVE IT OFF. she would look a lot edgier and less... Me & U-ish (but that is still my jam tho!). then, there was La-La... (she's a pedestrian so let's just skip her). um... Carmen Electra was next.. that sht looks horrible on her. THEN! my beloved Rihanna. mm mm mm, now let me say this. i'm gonna love her no matter what, but i'm not the biggest fan of the cut. i've been in love with her hairstyles ever since she got that bang to hide her big ass forehead.. but at the same time.. instead of shaving one side, she did both and the back so it like some weird variation of a high-top fade. watevvv, at least it won't look bad when it starts growing back in.. *shrug. and that brings is to Solange. NO, NO, HELL NO, and NO. all she did was take off a wig and reveal that she's been bald all this time. she was just waiting for the right moment to showcase it. i just don't know why this is spreading so fast. i can GUARANTEE some of these lil girls that are running around here with their daddys' clippers are gonna regret falling victim to this trend when its time to get a new weave and sht is all disproportioned. please... if you still have all of your hair (or all of your weave for that matter) don't fall into this trend. please.
try again mudda-sucka!

Did I Say That??

idk what happened.. i think somebody ninja'd they way into my blog and posted that last blog. crazyness.


it seems like i'm in a state of "Re-neg-eration" (don't judge me because i didn't pay attn. in my LIT classes. lol). that's right, i'm changing my mind.. i'm an Indian-giver. lol. yesterday i posted the previous blog and i was completely trashing the Spizike Boots, set to release in the winter.. but i have to go back on my word because they could end up in my collection (NOT the brown or the all black ones tho. the "ew" still stands on those). i was browsing one of my favorite online sites, ASOS.com (thank you Dalvin for telling me about this site.. its been like a year almost. lol. and if you not up on the site you need to get up ownn it.), when i saw the shirt. its really simple, but effective i guess. the white collar is definitely the dopest thing about it (please scrub your necks before wearing it. lmao.). then i saw jacket and its kinda cool, but i already bought a jacket from the site like last month and its black so its basically the same. but then i noticed the all of these things could go with the shoes kinda and i was just like... hmm, i guess i could do something with these. idc.. i'm still on the fence with them..

and about the website, ASOS.com... they're one hell of a site. they have just about everything. MEN and WOMEN'S clothing. i encourage you to put your plastic to work. i've ordered from the site a couple times and all was well. the best thing is that the prices are great. ESPECIALLY THEIR SALES! OMG.
