Guinness Book of Stupid Records

Why is it that people crave so much attention? People will stop at nothing, only to say that they were the best at something...even if that "something" is the most idiotic thing you can think of. Below is a video by my favorite youtuber Duke Powell. He is saying everything I was thinking, but just too lazy to type. Check it out & COMMENT!

Kid Cudi - Heaven at Nite from deeplyDope.eu on Vimeo.

This is the video to one of my FAVORITE songs in the world "Heaven At Night" by Kid Cudi that I recently stumbled upon. This song was released on his first Mixtape entitled "A Kid Named Cudi" in September of 2008. Its funny how so many people slept on him back then.

Natural Hair Horror!

So, anyone that knows me knows I LOVE my natural hair. I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos and reading blogs on how I can nurture and style my hair.  I recently tried a Wash and Go style using Herbal Essence Totally Twisted Conditioner.  Normally you're to wash out the conditioner, but I was told by a friend that it really defines your curls if you simply leave it in.  So I did...I washed my hair at midnight and left it to dry overnight.  Woke up at 9am to go to work and its a DISASTER! Its flat, and there is white residue from the conditioner being in my hair. I was so pissed...and to say the least, I will NEVER do a wash and go again.

Natural hair ladies: have you had any similar mishaps that you had to quickly recover from.  I know it can get hard sometimes having natural hair, but I wouldnt trade it for the world.

We Are The World 25

I don't know my thoughts on this.  I'm feeling kind of wishy-washy.  On the one hand, I appreciate the effort and the fact that they emcompassed several genres of modern day music.  I feel that it was well put together, and of course beauitifully composed...BUT...at the same time I have some criticisms.  For one, they could have left the rap scene with LL Cool J out...not neccessary.  Two...autotune?  for real?  Three, I know Wyclef is from Haiti, and he's very emotional about this whole situation, but I felt his parts actually brought down the song.  My ears couldnt take it.  And why wasn't Chris Brown in it?  Overall, Kudos to Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones for putting together this ensemble.  My question is, does watching this make you want to go into your pocketbook and write a check.  I've never been one to get very emotional at the "Save the Children" infomercials, so I would like to know "normal" people's opinions about it.  Does this presentation raul you up so much that you just feel compelled to GIVE!  Didn't really do it for me...but that's just me.

Whoo Sah! Ventful Rant Vol #1

As we all know, Lil Wayne was convicted of weapons charges and sentenced to one year in prison. The day before he was scheduled to go to jail, the judge granted him a 1 month pardon so he could have surgery on his teeth! Now I know I’m not the only one that feels some kind of way about this. Why are these artists getting special privileges? It’s already bad enough that our hard earned tax dollars are going towards housing them. Why are artists receiving get out of jail free cards? Do their successful careers make them any more important than the dope dealer on the corner, selling drugs to feed his family because he can’t get a decent job? Are Lil Wayne’s teeth more important than the laws that have been set for us citizens to obey and abide by? What significant contribution has Lil’ Wayne made to society that sets him aside from the rest? Granted, he has a successful music career, but he has brought forth nothing but negative influences. With his sizzurp sipping, pill popping, and lasciviously sexual lyrical content, I fail to see why so many people admire him…and let’s not forget the multiple children he’s fathered within the past year. Is this really who our youth is looking up to? While on Twitter, I already see trending topics declaring to “#FreeWeezy”…free him from what?

And while on the subject of admiration, what is going on with this whole Barbie “movement”…or as I like to call it plague/epidemic. By now I know you’ve heard/seen the artist that calls herself Nicki Minaj. She prides herself on being a “bad bitch”, “harajuku barbie” and is a proclaimed bisexual. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see anything bad about her. She is pretty…BUT…she is fake; fake hair, fake nails, fake butt (yep, she wears padding), and I question the authenticity of her breasts. I’m not hating, but it saddens me to see what so many of youth have to look up to, or rather, what they CHOOSE to look up to. With prominent woman like Dr. Ruth Simmons, Maxine Waters, and of course our first lady Michelle Obama, why is it that so many look up to and mimic artist such as Nicki Minaj? There are young celebrities that display a positive influence and are positive role models as well; Raven Simone, Chrisette Michelle, hell…even the Simmons sisters are among the names that I wouldn’t mind my child looking up to. I recently came across several YouTube videos of young girls impersonating this Ms. Minaj, and my question is…how would you feel if this was what YOUR daughter aspired to be? I’m just sayin’ **kanye shrug**

Dan Black ft Kid Cudi - Symphonies (Remix)

Alright, I know I'm on a bit of a Cudi trip lately, but what can I say? The man makes great music. This is also one of my favorite songs....Symphonies Remix. This video is very dope and innovative! Let me know your thoughts....does anyone else feel like singing Umbella-ella-ella when hearing this song? Has the same base line and symbols.

David Gueatta + Kid Cudi - Memories

DatNewCudi.com: Memories - David Guetta Feat. Kid Cudi from DP on Vimeo.

This is one of my favorite songs in the world!!! I have it as a ringtone and have been antivipating the release of the video. I love the concept, thought I must admit that I wish there was more night life shown in the video. Still very dope! I have David Guetta's album, and if you like House music, you'll love it!

Wale - My Sweetie

Wale - My Sweetie (directed by tabi Bonney) from tabi Bonney on Vimeo.

Wale is one of the most underrated rappers in the game! His debut album was compared to the likes of Jay-Z and Talib. This song "My Sweetie" was one of the bonus songs on the album, and stays true to his background of Nigerian (Yoruba) culture. My fellow Naija's know all too well of what he's talking about in the song. Let me know your thoughts!

How To Make It In America Episode 1

The other day I blogged about Kid Cudi's upcoming shot "How To Make It In America" that is to debut on HBO on February 14th...remember me saying I don't have HBO and cant watch it! WELL, HBO courteously provided the first episode for viewing for promotion purposes. That's one down...now I just need a way to watch the other 7 episodes! Help a sistah out HBO!!!! Anyway. Happy viewing. I think the show is going to be a hit!

Sarah Palin Is A CHEATER!!!

Sarah Palin...I simply don't know what to say about this one. This woman was ALMOST the Vice-President of these United States, and here she is caught reading notes from the palm of her hands. Granted, I understand that notes may be needed during an interview, but how about having a little more class and using...IDK...NOTE CARDS!!! This is a disgrace. And for some reason, she still have a very strong base of supporters. Palin declared that she plans on running for presidency in 2012...how do you feel about her as a leader? You already know my point of view.

Dammit! I dont have HBO...

Anyone who knows anything about me knows I am a HUGE fan of Kid Cudi AKA Scott Mescudi. Here he and Bryan Greenberg discuss their new HBO series "How To Make It In America" which is going to debut on February 14th. I am so excited for this show...BUT...I dont have HBO. If anyone knows how I can possibly stream/watch it online, please let me know. Until then, enjoy!

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

If you have never heard of this group, you need to get to know them. Their album MANNERS, is on of the best albums I've ever heard! Electro melodies combined with the high pitched tones of lead singer Micheal Angelakos makes this group a force to be reckoned with.
