WHO NEEDS SHOES?!

Bossy.

All you need in a fridge, really.

"WELL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.. JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I COULDN'T GET ANY MORE AMAZING.."

- KENNY.

THROWBACK.

16 year old Botch in the house. God. How much of a loser was I?! Dog tags, on the phone, thinking I'm ill na na. Hoop earrings too! I was all about the hoodrat-ness! If you time machined back into my room at the point of this photo.. I CAN GUARANTEE, you'd also find like five of those Nike string bag/backpacks, the rubber Nike basketball bracelets, a gazillion pairs of hoop earrings, a shit load of black eyeliner, and burned cds with slow jams on them.. AND I THINK, at this time I smoked Du Mauriers. Biggest poser in life, I JUST WANTED TO FIT IN! HAHAHA.

*hides face in shame.

WITHDRAWLS.

Unnnff. Wish that was in my bed right now.

SPLENDIFEROUS.

Hey ladies, this is what New York is going to be like.. all the colors of four loko.

"I'M A PROBLEM, 'CAUSE I WANNA FUCK THE WORLD, BUT I'M NOT A FAN OF USING CONDOMS."

- TYLER, THE CREATOR.

TROUBLE ON MY MIND.

"So why you so attracted to Tyler, Botch?"
I DON'T KNOOOOWWW!! *licks screen.

A BORN TERROR, A REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE..

THROWBACK THURSDAY

SHYHEIM - ON AND ON

Shyheim is soooo under-rated.. even if the Wu was ghost-writing his songs, anyone who can pull cadence alone at that age.. LIKE THAT, deserves some. I refuse to believe the ghost-write. I think this kid just sees shit. I mean, I lived in the hood and knew what a pimp was, knew where the hookers stood.. at like the age of five. That shit just happens some time. I'm not trying to act like I'm hard though, just trying to show appreciation for Shyheim. J'adore!

Anyway, this fucking song.. IS A FUCKING CLASSIC GEM. Treasured forever.

CRACKIN EGGS LIKE WE CRACK SMOKE. SMOKE CRACK? NO. THAT'S BAD.

I'M NOT SAD, AND JUST MAYBE.. I'M TOO PLAIN FOR ALL I'VE HEARD..

Yum.

THOUGHT CLOUD.

- Okay with Evelyn winning first place, not Paula.
- I wanted Kenny to win first place, but not Wes.
- Mike bitching out is lame, push til you die.
- Girls are fucking psycho, sorry you look like an old hag, wanker.
- "Material Girl" is probably my least favorite Weeknd song.
- In a week, I'll be watching Nas.
- I need new sunglasses for New York.
- Who steps on aviators running to say hi to douche bags? That'd be me.
- Will this heat wave ever end?
- I can't wait for fall.
- Being a red head is fuckin' fun.
- I wish I could watch a movie with lex tonight, simple things.
- Weezy's new album sucks? What exactly were you expecting people?
- I dunno how to feel about Blu's new album, BUT HE'S GIVING AWAY FREE COPIES AT RTB! *dies.
- Talk louder Blu, that bass is loud.
- Denzel Washington in American Gangster.. what a dream boat.

THE HUNDREDS IS HUGE.

So Alex told me about The Hundreds bikini ages ago, and I decided to finally step up my internet game and google it. FUCK MY LIFE. I knew this would be a heart breaker. $80 for a bikini?! What do they think of me!? I NEED THIS BIKINI IN MY LIFE. I certainly couldn't do it justice like Holly and Angel, but even if I could just wear it in the comfort in my room.. on my bed.. reading Vice magazine.. listening to some Nas.. in pure bliss.

& OMG I LOVE ANGEL PORRINO SO MUCH. Jayde Nicole is such a biatch! Go get em, Angel!

DON'T MAKE ME MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE.

So, I must be a visual learner as oppose to an auditory learner.. because.. THIS VIDEO, made this song that much better for me.

Am I alone in this?! AHHH SO GOOD.

OHHH HAAAYYYY ;)

NAAAASTYYY SPEAKS ON ILLMATIC
BE STILL MY HEART.

MIXTAPE MONDAY!

MIXTAPE MONDAYTHE WEEKND - THURSDAY

Let's get right into it!

The intro is incredible. This beat is aweeesome. & I love his voice in it. My only complaint about this, is the instrumentals over-powering his voice. I find that it's consistent with the entire tape.. you have to really listen, which I don't mind.. It just almost sounds like he's doing back up vocals for himself.. which.. is.. dumb. Personally, if I was editing this one, I'd take the snare out and kick up his vocals. In summary: the production on this tape is absolutely NO comparison to House of Balloons. There is no doubt with that.
I will throw down an applause for how different the production is. It's a weird, dark, questioning, nightmare, hang-over kind of sound. If that doesn't make sense to you, you haven't listened to it yet.
LIFE OF THE PARTY IS MY FAAAVORITE! Can we talk about the control Tesfaye has over his voice? The thing that stands out the most when you listen to this dude is his sound. He could do this shit acapella and still have me questioning if he's a real person.. I'm still in half belief that he's an experimental robot that escaped from Area 51 and is rebelling against the government. His voice is just.. that good. It takes you up and lifts you. It actually feels like, it lifts you. & he's definitely improved on his vocals. IS IT POSSIBLE?! Yes, it is. & he has.

When I first listened to this tape, I hated it. I was like, "What is this!?". House of Balloons is simply a tough entrance. Tesfaye certainly took his music in a new way. He wanted to keep growing, keep improving, and he wanted to put out something different. Thursday is definitely different from the House of Balloons. It just lacks consistency. There is no flow to it.. I found myself continuously checking to make sure the songs weren't on random. Each song, on its own is good.. but put all together is a little confusing for the listener. You're thrown around on a ride that leaves you confused, not knowing where to go. However, once you're ten seconds into a song, you're back in it for the ride.. and you're able to enjoy it.

The bottom line is, The Weeknd is putting out music that you won't hear anywhere, and it's damn good. If I heard this tape first, I would rate it higher.. but the House of Balloons is just a tough bar to pass.. A little too busy, a little too much. We'll see what happens when Echoes of Silence drops. Til then, it's still an amazing tape that deserves a download. Go get it.

4/5.

WHAT NIGHT IS TONIGHT?!

It's fuckin' four loko night!!
If you haven't realized my love for four loko yet, let it be known. I'm loko for four loko.

Hey B, remember when I was convinced someone kidnapped my brother, he some how managed to obtain a pizza, we asked that guy what he was selling, and you puked behind a dumpster and then we all blacked out?

Happy four loko night. CABS ARE HEEEERRREEE!

RIVALS!

SO, WAS ANYONE AS DISAPPOINTED AS I WAS WHEN CT WENT HOME LAST NIGHT?!
I literally screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!". My heart was beating sooo fast during that challenge. Wow. I'm a little embarrassing.. BUT SERIOUSLY~! How great is this man! He's like the alpha male of all alpha males! "Wes is just a punk who's mother didn't slap his ass", "They're so scared, think they're gonna cry?", "T, BLOW THE WHISTLE ALREADY! CHOO CHOO!". LIKE .. HELLO. Love. THEY COULD'VE WON ! THEY WERE WINNING! Then Adam went and fucked everything up. Can't hate on Adam, he had a momentarily stupid move thing going on, but they truly were killing it. When CT would make this hits, I was all jumping out of my seat, screaming "OMG~!". Yes. Really. My love for this show is getting out of hand.
Don't mind who wins for the girls, Laurel and Jen are my favs though. Mike and Leroy are my next picks for the boys. I can't stand Wes. Last year watching him with Mandi was torture. That is all.

CHUCK BASS AIN'T NUTTIN' TO FUCK WIT'..

Another reason to love Chuck Bass. OH ED WESTWICK! You forever have my heart.

Can I just say how much I despise seperate stages?! The only thing these are good for is keeping shmucks outta my way. Feeling less cramped.. So I scheduled this to my liking, but Perla and B, you're welcome to make any objections or suggestions.. 'cause this works in a dream world, but getting from stage to stage is going to prove to be more difficult.. I don't give a fuck though, I'm a good pusher. Here's my idea:

1:00-1:30 - Roc Marciano / 36 Chambers Stage
1:30-2:00 - Round Battles/Dj's / Grindtime Stage
2:00-2:35 - Killah Priest / 36 Chambers Stage
2:50-4:05 - Black Star / RTB Stage
4:15-5:00 - Blu & Exile / Paid Dues Stage
5:00-5:40 - Cypress Hill / RTB Stage
5:40-6:05 - Black Moon / 36 Chambers Stage
6:05-6:30 - Souls of Mischief / Paid Dues Stage
6:30-7:25 - Erykah Badu / RTB Stage
7:25-7:40 - GZA / 36 Chambers Stage
7:55-9:25 - NAS!! / RTB Stage
9:25-9:40 - Doom / Paid Dues Stage
9:40-10:40 - Rae, Ghost / 36 Chambers Stage
10:40-11:00 - Immortal Technique / Paid Dues Stage
11:00-11:25 - Lauryn Hill / RTB Stage

I really could give a fuck about Lauryn Hill since I've seen her twice now and she's sucked both times. I would some how like to insert Childish Gambino, Mobb Deep, and Masta Killa, but I don't know where to. I know this isn't completely going to work out, but it's a general toss up! Ladies we are going to have to put in work and fight for our lives for this to work out. So bring tons of water, your game faces and your fighting words because this schedule is tight LOL.. I imagine getting to each stage from another will take about 15 minutes.. so .. I guess we'll see. The only one I care being up front for is Nas. UGGGH WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME ROCK THE BELLS WHY?! ..AND THE STAGES ARE SO FAR. We're gonna have to like.. sprint. Help.

A 29TH MOMENT WITH BOTCH.

MY MOM NEVER GAVE ME RULES.
Maybe that's because I didn't grow up like most kids. My parents were all about their business. All about the stores, restaurants and the banquet hall. After school, I didn't go home. I went to the store. I'd sit in the office and watch cartoons until my parents closed the store, and then we went home. I spent grade 1 chicken pox on a stage of our banquet hall. It didn't even bother me, it was.. fun for me? Even with the copious amounts of yelling I got for falling asleep on the shelves behind the cereal, or on the rice bags. That was normal, for me.
During the weekends, my time was at home with the maid. My parents would get dolled up every Friday and Saturday. My dad with his suits and cufflinks, and my mom with her glitz and sparkling earrings. I'd sit on their bed and watch them. Then they'd leave for their business meetings or galas or fundraisers or parties.. and I'd be at home with the maid. I hated it, and could never wait til they came home. I regret that now, 'cause our maid was awesome lol.
Then my dad passed. & everything changed. My mom wouldn't work 8 hours, she'd work 15. I stopped living with my mom when I was around.. 10. & that's, when I grew up. I did the dishes, I cooked food for my niece. I was a mom. I didn't have friends really as a kid, I had cousins. I was always home, always in the pool, always cleaning.. and with that, came my mom trusting me. I didn't do that shit for me, I did that shit for my mom. I had to. She never really saw what life was like for me living away from me. She didn't want to see it, it hurt her too bad.. but she knew. She was just trying to give me everything she could, and I knew that. She literally called me every day.. still does, I just need to learn to answer more often.
Around the age of 13, my mom moved back in with me for one year. At this time, I was in track, cross country, basketball, volleyball and soccer. Life was chaotic. I had practice or a game every day. & I completely fended for myself, and she completely supported that.
Today, I told my mom I was going to New York.. and she responded with, "You're just like your dad, trying to see everything and live life to the fullest". I felt.. at that moment.. my mom understood me. TRUSTED me. I haven't asked for anything materialistic from my mom. I haven't asked for anything since school supplies in the 7th grade.. the only thing I ever ask for, is respect in my decisions.. and today I got that. It felt damn good for her to know.. because even though we both had chaotic busy lives.. we're close. She's doing her job supporting my choices where she can, and although we get into our rifts.. she really fuckin tries to get me sometimes.

I could smoke a cigarette, drink a beer, cry, laugh, share secrets, and cuss a shit load in front of my mom.. because she's my best friend. Nothing's better than that right now. Nothin!

BRAIN LAPSE.

Does anyone know that song that goes, "every day in elevation.. we awake in the night.. you're asleep in the hood"?! It's a girl rapper.. ANDDD she has a Marilyn piercing.. and that's the best I can do with explaining. I KNOW! It's not much, it's not much at all.. but this broad is fucking awesome, and I wanna google her but I can't because I don't know what to google! Mystery music. Moment with Botch cominn uuuuppppp.

I KNOW I'M NICE BUT KEEP IT ON THE HUMBLE LIKE..

COOL CALM PETE

Raised in Queens! This dude is that shit. The first song I ever heard off him was from his solo album, "lost", and it was called "Two A.M.". I was sold after that.
This guy has a smoooooth voice, and so is his cadence. There's almost a hypnotizing feel to it. Everything.. just.. flows. It's a lazy-type-sluggish rap.. but the verses are everything but that. Witty, hilarious, and annunciation that makes you appreciate English.. this dude is one to love as soon as you press play.. so take a listen.

Here's my favorite from him, off his first solo project:



Whenever I listen to Cool Calm Pete, I just get stupid hot. That voice fuckin' does something to you, man. Like, I'm not even really attracted to dude.. but every time I hear this song. I wanna take off all my clothes. He's comical as shit too! With, "then she kissed the dick, pure bliss!".. aweeezzzuumm. Like, let's fuck already.

THROWBACK THURSDAY.

Don't cha put it in your mouth! I remember watching this as a kid and being super scared of these blue things.. BUT COULDN'T HELP WATCHING IT. This song is still mad catchy.

I WILL MAKE YOU REALIZE.. I'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE..

THROWBACK THURSDAY

"I would never ever run away, I'll be here to fight another day.." OHH YEAAHH KITTY N! My cousins and I would play this game for days when it first came out. I was always Kitty N. AND THIS SONG HERE GOES SO HARD.. It was on my green electro layout on asianavenue. OH THE DAYS! hahaha. Anyone wanna come over and play it?! Seriously.

LET'S GET LOST IN THE CLOUDS..

MIXTAPE MONDAY

So I know it's not really Monday, but this dropped today.. so, you should download it.
Not only does he quote Nas, BUT.. he speaks truth. "Hard work and dedication" is the theme of this tape, and you definitely get a sense of that. Kidd has been throwing down since I knew him.. and that's what? 8 years now? Anyone that sticks with the grind for 8 years screams passion. I don't think there's a day where this guy doesn't breathe music, and you get the message from his verses.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCALS! He deserves a trillion downloads, and a trillion listens. & you can get it for free! By clicking THIS

ARCTIC MONKEYS

Clearly I am in an indie rock mood.. Another favorite. Not my number one favorite indie rock band, but certainly on the list. THESE GUYS ARE PHENOMENAL. I base so many life quotes off these guys.. and if you love The Arctic Monkeys, I'm sure you've noticed.
These guys have been around since 2002, and they're still producing bangers.. and okay, their latest is GREAT, but isn't as great as their older stuff. Gotta give these guys credit though. It's not every day that you see a band that can stand each other for 9 years. A true testimony to music mates!
I stumbled through these guys back in my imeem days. Remember imeem?! LOL. Anyway, it was love at first listen, and I haven't turned back. I listen to them at least once a week on my commute to work.. and I appreciate them every more with each listen.. but I'll let your ears figure it out.

Here's the first song I ever heard from them, and my favorite because of that circumstance, and because I also love The Beatles:
