You Don't Know What You Got Til Its Gone

I want to write this post without shedding a tear but by the time I am done one will roll from my eye. . .



Today is the anniversary of the man, the myth, and the legend Tupac "2pac" Amaru Shakur death in Las Vegas, Nevada after dying from the injuries he sustained. Tupac has influenced all of us at one point of our lives, I personally think he is the only rapper that most parents would allow their kids to listen to (minus the curses) he spoke alot of truth and didn't hold any punches. And its mind-blogging to me how 14 years could have possibly past and nothing has been done to solve this crime, this is more than a black man dead, but an amazing soul and a highly articulate human being taken away from the world. I was about 6 or 7 years old when he died, but I will tell you when he died I knew things wouldn't be the same and trust me it hasn't been. There are only a few gems that come into our lives and bring something new and he was one of them. Til this day I am heartbroken because the reality is that we will never have another Tupac. Yes he was troubled soul, but he was taken away too early and didnt have the time to mature and grow. Like they say some people are blessed enough to have a mission they must complete that will bring an infinite impact, but must leave when their mission is complete. From his beautiful smile, to his charismatic lyrics, and amazing acting skills, Tupac Amaru Shakur will never be forgotten. We love you && we miss you. #THUGLIFE

It Was Only Nine Years Ago . . .


Today is the 9 year anniversary of 9/11, the day that changed all of our lives forever. I will never forget this day because I had just started my new elementary school and I was already scared about starting school and this tragedy didn't make it any better. But I will say in that day we seen a lot of human compassion and people get off their high horse to not only think about others but to feel and dispell emotion. Its sad that many of times it takes tragedy to bring us together, but sometimes thats what has to happen. Although in that month we were all brought closer together, muslims were driven away because of ignorance and prejudice. It has been nine years and to be hnest nothing has really changed, but this isn't a post to bash anybody but to remember those who were lost, whether they were inside the twin towers, on the planes, or were brave fire fighters and police officers attending to the call of duty. Rest in Paradise to all of you and we are praying for all of your families.

Reema Major & Willow Smith: These Young Girls Are Here To Destroy && Conquer

1. Reema Major


I was showing my boy about this young girl she is a beaaassst! Mind you she is only 15 years old and she is already rapping circles around some of these men out here. This girl is DEFINETLY more than a talent she is GOD-GIFTED! With the release of her mixtape Youngest in Charge that dropped last fall along with her being feature on the single Swagberry Look with JJ Money tearing up the clubs out for this young girl because I think with a few more years and a little more growth and grooming she is going to crush alot of these rappers. [Note I didn't say female rappers, thats how talented I think she is]






2. Willow Smith


Seriously, I think when two talented people come together and have kids, their kids have no choice but to be great and surpass their parents. And that is how I feel when it comes to the Smith kids, Jada and Will have created some amazingly talented children, first Jaden, now Willow who is currently sign to Jay-Z's label Roc Nation. Her single "Whip My Hair" that has leaked is a banger I must say, for a nine year old she has a bright future ahead of her and with the great parents that she has it will be Sky's The Limit.

Everything Is A Vessel, It All Depends On How It Is Used



Disclaimer: If You Don't Have An Open Mind or If Youtube Is Your Only Source of Education This Post Is Not For You. . .Let's Begin

I will start by saying this I want to work in the music industry and I want to be a black female mogul. Now with that being said let us talk about all the recent success that rap has had, but with anybody that is doing good (I find it especially with black musical artists) when they reach a certain point of success it can't be credited to them or they will be bashed for it. In terms of rap music it has gone through many battles including between the years of 1992-1995 where rap music was being put under microscope and being banned and what have you. Now lets fast forward the times, one of the biggest acts of our time, Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce and anybody that seems to be associated with them is a. . . . . .#drumrollplease. . . .a devil worshipper/illuminati/freemason. Now before everybody starts talking crazy, has anybody sat there and thought for a second about these accusations?

I'm going to start by saying, "He who is without sin, may cast the first stone", now tell me what you think that means. Many of us will run around saying "only God can judge me" and will rip apart people for judging a person without knowing them, but as soon as someone wants to call somebody a devil worshipper we are all for it. For the Christians that are quick to bash somebody about being a devil worshipper, why are you not as quick to talk to these people and get to know them or even try to figure out why people are willing to essentially "sell their souls" to have a life of riches and fame. Not to mention as a Christian why are you looking so intently for evil, if anything you need to be looking for the good and trying to find another way to love. And let us not forget at the end of the day you need to treat people the way you want to be treated therefore accusing someone or implying about something that you have no idea about is not only of poor judgement but of poor character as well.

As for the secular people that only like to call on God when someone is called a devil worshipper I would like to say Thank the Lord you people are not reverends in the pulpit because it is people like you that make me go, "are you serious right now?". Where the hell do some of you get off wanting to call someone a devil worshipper and crucify them but will still be having pre-marital sex, drinking, be at the club every week etc etc etc. Now that statement is not to point fingers at people but this is to offer a different perspective as to how people see things. You can't possibly be trying to call someone a devil worshipper or some type of secret society, but yet you are basically doing the devil's will. You guys are what I would like to call Sunday Christians, I would explain but i think it is pretty self explanatory.

This foolishness with the all seeing eye and blah blah did anybody know that some of it is egyptian mythology and beliefs, so if someone decides to take certain aspects of it and change the meaning and representation obviously people are going to think certain way of it. Even know with the Power video by Kanye West alot of people are saying there are free mason symbols, but has anybody ever stopped to listen to the words of the song and correlate it with the video itself (No I didn't think so). And let me not forget that the music video consists of different paintings that had particular representations to the message he was trying to convey. But yet many of us are so quick to be suckered in by what any self righteous youtuber or conspiracy theorist is willing to say. Sometimes I feel for such a technological generation we are a bunch of heediots, because lets put into consideration that this may be all a distraction, so that when our government officials are doing reckless shit we are too distracted by trivial nonsense that we are not seeing what the real problem is. Some people need to read up on Karl Marx and his Manifesto as well as to read George Orwell's 1984 instead of crediting youtube videos and ridiculous sites as credible information.

To wrap up this post I would like to end of by saying that this type of irrational thinking is not good because you can not believe any and everything you hear or see, with everything you have to take it with a grain of salt. This is exactly like the salem witch hunts back in the day people would be accused of being a witch (whether it was true or not) and then would be burned at the stake or if the accused were able to get away they would obviously have to leave town. This is soo dangerous in the means that nobody is safe and unless someone is willing to try and think for themselves this shit will never end. Shoot me for being so optimistic, but I don't think anything is virtually evil but I do believe everything is a vessel therefore depending on how it is used is what will make the difference.

Introducing: Anthony Bishop a.k.a. Tony Buzin

No Introduction. . .Ladies && Gentleman Tony Buzin ! [Remember The Name]



"Burn These Niggas Like A Blunt And Flick Them Off Like Roaches"

Whatever Happened To New York Rap?



Disclaimer: This Ain't A Diss Post, Its A Real Post

Ok people let's be real its been a minute since we heard a bumping tune or something new out of New York or anywhere in the East Coast for that matter and it is kind of disappointing. Not to say that I hate southern rap but let's be honest some of the shit that comes out of the South is very. . .ummm. . .hmmm. . .not always pleasing to my ears and comes off as very reptitive. Literally I feel like the only thing that I hear come out of New York is Jay-Z, so if you had any qualms about Jigga being the King of New York this is the time where I feel that he is carrying the city on his back. But moving along, I think the lack of NY rap is a very big problem because it serves as a balance in terms of the genre. But there are two reasons as to why I think that NY rap is in a serious decline and here goes:

1. The Lack of Ability To Adapt
Yes we all know that NYC more specifically the Bronx is the birthplace of rap and that it belongs to New York etc etc. But at the same time it seems as if they feel that they dont have to adapt to anything or change things because most people feel that because rap was originated in NYC there is no need to adapt to anything or to switch it up or maybe sometimes grow up. OR if there is someone who wants to adapt they do a terrible terrible terrible job example: Ron Browz ! [Lawd that was a disaster]

2. There Is No Unity
OK let's be honest the last time we seen a unity record with all New York natives was when Ja Rule put out the record New York and even then it started problems because 50 Cent wanted to bring his highschool shit! And before that the last project was the QB collaboration, [Oochie Wally was the tuneeee!] and that says alot because the time period between these two collaborative efforts is quite the stretch. And then people wonder why they are not ruling the airwaves as they should

and last but surely not least

3. With Too Many Heavyweights There Are Too Many Egos
Yea I said it! Some of the rappers that we all love and adore are way too into themselves to realize that HEY! the music business and the future of rap is bigger than what YOU want and what YOU need or how YOU FEEL you should be treated or your legacy. This is more than trying to be the King of New York or the East Coast or whatever, people need to get it together and bring that good old music back and show why they are the heavyweights.

As you can see I am a fan of real hip hop not to say that there arent any good south rappers because trust me there are rappers like Andre 3000, Jay Electronica, J.Cole, Big Boi, etc that would rap circles around some people. But nonetheless the re-emergence of New York rap is sooo needed right now, especially with the new wave of coke sniffin' based dougie hittin' pretty boy swaggers. #YIKES !
