Kid Cudi ft Chip Tha Ripper | All Talk

Much gratitude to my always available & complimentive fellow music source in Vegas. (Waddup Jeannie!!! LoL!). She emailed me with the lyrics to this chorus and since we were (once again) discussing our Drake Hate, I ignorantly assumed that she was quoting a Drake song. So I immediately felt discombobulated when she told me it was Cudi. And even more hung-up that I hadn't already heard this song. I guess I've been trying to sleep regularly ;) But you gotta love the Santigold-type beats rushing in right after the chorus... This shit right here ni99a! Ahaha! Although talking about foos name-droppin' and actin' like they know wassup, or simply talkin' sh*t 'cause they hatin' on another's success is a constant rhyming trend in the Hip Hop world - I ain't mad at this song at all. Shiiiiit - Cudi could even be talking about me! LoL! Read my Cudi posts... I be talkin' like I know his ass personally! Like I be outside the club, jumpin' above the crowd with my arms raised talkin' bout, "Waddup Cudi! It's me! It's me..." And then when he doesn't respond, "*smack* Man... Fuck that ni99a. He ain't shit..." Ahaha!
All taaaaaaaaaalk.
Fuck it! And shut-up and listen ;)

Kid Cudi ft Kanye West | Erase Me

We've all been there. You break up but don't make up and then you're left with that unavoidable need to "erase" that person from your memory and your heart. A feeling that sometimes counteracts with missing that person... Or maybe not and you just long to forget, disregard, omit, delete... erase. Although we rarely hear the other side of those feelings - the thoughts coming from the person that is being erased. Well, here's Cudi's view...


Erase Me

The Roots | How I Got Over

It was a little less than a year ago that I became pumped about The Roots upcoming album How I Got Over and displayed my deep rooted devotion with this post. Well it's finally here ladies & gents. So get over your Drake obsession and listen to some Hip Hop you can appreciate. The Roots... on so many more levels beyond what mainstream society has convinced you is good music. And this is how I get over it every other day...

I'm on the pursuit of happiness... with a woman... with drugs in my pocket...

Cudi... Oh dear Kid Cudi... Scotty... What's happening with you?! Let's tone it down a bit shall we? Why you lettin' a broad get to you like that?! And hold up... liquid cocaine?! Couldn't you just say no?! Isn't weed enough? Can't you just stick to the weed, keep writing and putting out awesomely, relatable songs? Please don't disappoint your fans any further... Let the bitches come later, put on about 10-15 lbs (your head's too big for you to be that skinny), and lay off the harsh stuff! Can't forget that tree, remember?!

SMH...

Kelis | Acapella

An underrated artist that barely gets the props she deserves - I've been a fan of Kelis since her madness on Caught Out There. An artist who's work only goes publicly noticed when she makes some kinda commercial-catered song/video. Something like Bossy or Milkshake - The kinda songs where the lyrics are a tad dense yet they get so much play they quickly become played out. Admittingly, I was bossy for about a week and my milk shook for about 3 days. The part of Kelis that pleases me the most is thru her delicate and more well-versed pieces. Songs that have a bit more substance and that she sings with a bit more feeling. Something like Flashback, Living Proof and Trilogy... Much to my suffice - Acapella sweetened me beyond the mainstream effect. Keep on Kelis ;)

Drizzy Drake?! No thizzy thank you...

So as I was on FB yesterday, I see a couple posts talking about the new Drake album and how "they're feeling it" or "they love it" - made me wanna throw up... a little. I still don't understand the fascination with Drake?! He sounds like he's tryin' too hard, he looks retarded and I suppose once an artist claims to be the greatest when they're clearly not, is what takes the cake. Now I've never been mad at those music artists who dive into the commercial pool simply to make money. But when they seek respect in the game for their commercialism - ni99a please! And then I have fellow friends that usually like the same artists I do talking about they love Drake! I guess it just disappoints me a bit. It's like, how can I respect the fact that we even like the same music when you like Drake?! LoL! Perhaps one day I'll get over the Drake-hype and not really care if you like him or not but right now... At this very instant... I just can't, I won't, I refuse to ingest the supposed artist by the name of Drake. And I can't tolerate the "loving" of his washed up sound and extra-medium music. Missed me with that shit.

Na na na na na na - Can't Forget That Tree...

I can't stop crackin' up! Snoop and Cudi are characters! The simplicity of this video is genius - low budget at it's finest. As it doesn't take much to promote "That Tree". Get a load of the people in white suits holding the sun and the trees! LoL! And the deer?! WTHeck?! LoL! I can't stop crackin' up! Where my tree at... Then I gotta watch this video again! LMAO! (Oh and I never realized that Cudi has a really big head! Or does he have a small body?! Ahaha! Just sayin' - He's still my dude regardless... ;)
