last blog for the night

these passed couple of days i've been UP on my music thing! lol...i've been going crazy STILL try`a download all the stuff from my iPod onto my mac (got a newby laptop and a fairly old iPod with over 2OOO songs!) & of course i'm catching up on a lot of the new stuff.

i'm anticipating that jadakiss album dropping March 10 "The Last Kiss".   

Jada has yet to disappoint me, and off the two last singles he's dropped, i'm expecting nothing but the best from his upcoming.

Here's a copy of the provisional tracklist:

"Pain & Torture"

"Something Else" Feat. Young Jeezy

"Things I've Been Through"

"Can't Stop Me"

"Money and Jewelry"

"Smoking Gun" Feat. Jazmine Sullivan

"Times Up" Feat. Barrington Levy

"I Tried" Feat. Avery Storm

"Searching" Feat. Sheek Louch

"Two-Step" Feat. Pharrell Williams

"Come and Get Me" Feat. Sheek Louch & S.I.

"By My Side" Feat. Ne-Yo

"Death Wish" Feat. Lil Wayne

"Letter to B.I.G" Feat. Faith Evans

Really quick before my laptop dies I'm trying to get the letter to B.I.G song which by the way Lil Cease did his own version to, also.  

And of course i couldn't figure out how to post it on my blog i'm posting, but it's on the right top corner so just hit the play button once you enter my page. ENJOY! 

"you're the best; you're the cock suckin best"

WOW! 5o dropped yet another beef track comin at officer ricky (nuff said). I am hearing a lot of negativity; idk if they're listening to the same song i'm hearing. then again people do actually like artists such as wayne. lol. I can barely tolerate him. Credit is given when credit is due so i give wayne his on the new renaissance rap remix (even though I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't write that himself). Enough of these bullish rhymes and these annoying hooks! I can't hear weeee oo weee ooo weeee ever again, without finding the urge to tie a noose around my neck and jumping off the tallest building in sight! lol

well there's your taste. tell me what you think.

got everybody watchin what I do - come walk in my shoes & see the way I'm livin if you really want to;

"got my mind on my money & I'm not goin nowhere! so keep on gettin your paper & keep on climbing; look in the mirror & keep on shining. til the game ends, til the clock stops: we goin' post up on the top spot" -T.I

Man life has been hard lately. I'm aiming for a better year cuz 2008 SUCKED for me and everyone I know. I'm saying it sucks cuz i'm not swimming in pool in 85 degree weather, sippin on some happy juice :) Life as a grown up is totally different (i.e: chillin at home doin some homework, playin with your friends outside, watchin tv... aww man the LIFE!)


Well now it's my turn to take charge & become the adult (psh as if I haven't been for how many years already) - on Feb 5th my mother is going in for surgery and won't be working for 6 months. Now for those of you that don't know me, I am a workaholic! I'm the most money hungry chick you'll ever meet! I'm super waitress during the day & Piano mistress by night (throwing in my fitness moments @ the gym). I work everyday about 9-10 hr days and in addition i'm going to be taking over my mom's houses, too (cleaning houses every other day AHHHHH (x_X) lol .. a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

so my life's kind testing me at this point. I'm trying to take it day by day. I've turned my life around, living peacefully, putting the past where it belongs "it's called the past cuz i'm getting passed" - A. Keyz. Forgiving and moving on "the weak can never forgive; forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." - mahatma ghandi

My main concern at this point is my family and how this is all going to play out. Thank God for having a big sister & brother to help out. Being the youngest of 3, 9 & 11 years apart, one thing a lot of people don't realize is how it feels to have older parents. Man my dad, he's the light in all of it. He's so positive and easy going. He's got his share of medical issues himself along with a possible upcoming knee surgery. Wow.


It's all a test. I'm ready for it. I have faith in myself, family & the most God. I know he won't let us fall, especially my mom.

i'm sitting in the car

on my routine Wendy Williams & there's a caller that says she allows her teenage son to smoke weed in the basement. It's not just her son, but IT'S HIS FRIENDS, TOO! Just like Wendy, I agree that, it is beyond WRONG! She claims she does it so her son doesn't get arrested, but the real question is what is a mother accepting her teenage son doing drugs 1st in the house, 2nd with his friends (obviously without parental consent), & 3rd PERIOD! This woman has clearly lost all boundaries of parent and friend.

What do you think?

"in order to change the world, we need to change ourselves"

So, I finally went to catch the new biggie movie "Notorious", matinee of course! With sold out seats in theaters all over the east coast, Notorious proved to be exactly its namesake!

For starters Jamal Woolard aka Gravy played an exceptional role as New York's King of hip hop The Notorious B.I.G. He brought out the side of Biggie none of us knew and every one grew to love.

Of course that's not all: Derek Luke (Diddy) NAILED THE PART - dance moves and all ; Christopher Jordan Wallace (Lil Biggie) is an exact replica of his father ; Angela Bassett (Voletta Walace) NAILED IT demonstrating her strength, emotion, & compassion through out ever line, every word spoken ; Naturi Naughton (Lil Kim) OH MY GOD - this girl was phenomenal...word on the grapevine is she didn't get any insight on Lil Kim's character through Lil Kim - strictly TALENT ; Anthony Mackie (Tupac) woooow he showed how hype and live Tupac really was ; LAST BUT NOT LEAST - kuddddoooooos to my girl Antonique Smith coming out of EAST ORANGE, NJ! I loved the scene where Faith get's a suspicious feeling about her new husband Biggie Smalls, and checks on him in a hotel room. Once she arrived her suspicions were confirmed - she brought out true sentiment as her character.

Imagine the length of this movie if Craig Mac, LOX, 112, Jay-Z, Mase, Busta Rhymes, etc would've just made appearances!

This is a story of LIFE & DEATH, strength & weaknesses, joy & pain. It corroborates the struggles of a man and his mistakes with a tragic ending. (of course this sap cried!) It teaches you the value of life, and how it's too short to follow your dreams. It teaches you to INCREASE THE PEACE, STOP THE VIOLENCE! We are all brothers and sisters and we need to unite and help one another.

If you haven't gone out to see it yet GO!

Martin Luther King Jr.

"Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children." - Dr. MLK.

Born January 15th, today we reserve the 80th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it is a celebration well deserved! Inspired by Gandhi's nonviolent activism, King had a dream that one day all men would be created equal.

If only he knew his "I have a dream" speech would become such a big part of today's world. Tomorrow, marks the date of yet another black history event - the inauguration of America's FIRST black president. If he only knew, that his dream would become a reality, to not only unite people of different race, gender, & creed, but to progress the life of African Americans & their rights to vote, attend any school, dine next to a white person; the right to drink from the same fountain, live in the same neighborhoods; the RIGHT to not live in fear of police brutality or another man's fist, spit, rocks, & threats, because of who God made you.






On March 29, 1968, Dr. King traveled to Memphis, Tennessee in support of the black sanitary public works employees. These African Americans were on strike due to low wages & unfair treatment from their employers (i.e: black street repairmen received pay for two hours when they were sent home because of bad weather, but white employees were paid for the full day.)

On April 3, King addressed a rally and delivered his "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech at Mason Temple.

"Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."

Ironically this was Dr. King's last speech.

He was staying at Lorraine Motel room 306, when at 6:01 p.m. on April 4, 1968, the day after his delivered speech, he was shot while standing on the balcony of his 2nd floor motel room. The bullet entered through his right cheek smashing his jaw and then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder. After emergency surgery, King was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital at 7:05 p.m.

Exactly two months following his death, escaped convict James Earl Ray, was seized at London Heathrow Airport, while trying to escape with a falsified Canadian passport in the name of Ramon George Sneyd. He was immediately repatriated to Tennessee where he later confessed to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Ray pleaded guilty to avoid a trial conviction and thus the possibility of receiving the death penalty, and was sentenced to a 99-year prison term.

Today is the day to celebrate black rights, and to look forward to the future under a new govern.
