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?

Run This Town Official Video! (EXCLUSIVE)

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!

Finally We Get to See Something - Run This Town Video Trailer.

run this town video teaser.

thanks to my beloved bbyhands you will get to see this. i almost forgot about it and then she tweeted me upside my head. anyway tho. its about time we get to see whats going on and if you had any sense you would already have gotten a feel for what the video would be like after looking at the pics from the set. i can't wait to see the full video. it looks like it will be entertaining. AND, i can not wait until they perform this song on the premiere of the Jay Leno show (Sept. 15 - google it for show-times in your area.). i will be tuned in to see Rihanna do her thing... oh yea, Hov and Ye will be there too. but really.. is that who your your looking forward to seeing? lol.

"From Rihanna, to Girls in Louboutin"

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.

"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!

Niggaaaaaa PLEEAASSEEEE.

really.. are you serious. this dude sound like he reading off of cue-cards. maybe its just because i'm a Rihanna fan. but really.. any female that doesn't have a problem being hit and beat.. go all in i guess. smh. and i used to like his music but now... he just losing money and his stomach starting to get a lil empty.

below, is the comment i left on the video. ;]

any female who is still droolin over this nigga is stupid. he IS a woman beater. and WILL ALWAYS BE a woman beater. find a real dude who won't put his hands on you. unless you like it rough. (2-black-eyes-a-busted-spleen- and-a-collapsed-lung rough) smh.

More of Rihanna and The Unmentionable One.

Rihanna and Chris brown are in the news, yet again. This time Rihanna was subpoenaed to testify in court against CB. I say he got off easy.. and i usually hate it and feel its discriminating when a judge decides to "make an example" out of a celebrity by throwing the book at them, BUT this is the one time i wouldn't have even blinked if it had happened. If you knew me like my friends do you would know that i am an OD Rihanna fan and i only liked CB because he was with her. but now its just like: "..." -crickets.

there is only limited footage from the hearing because cameras weren't allowed during the testimonies but, as you see in the video, (via E! Online) you are able to hear the sentencing (which was fckn wigggggidy) and all the info about the restraining order. Rihanna looks banginn from the neck up. i wanna see what she was wearing. lol.


on the flip.
