Chris Brown is BACK!!...

Chris Brown is doing it big these days. With his movie Takers selling $50 million and his mixtape single "Deuces" still rocking the charts it's safe to say our boy is BACK!

Brown recently gave the name of his up-coming album which will be titled "FAME" after his new tattoo and motto "Forgiving All My Enemies". A new song is being featured on radios one at a time called "Yeah 3x". A very techno, pop feel, yet definately a Chris Brown hit. He has stated that he will have two singles, a pop single "Yeah 3x" and an urban single "Calypso". With all these new things piling on fans (#teambreezy) has plenty to go nuts over.

He also released the names of those featured on the soon to be released "Deuces (Remix)". He has named Drake, Kanye West, Andre 3000, Fabolous, and T.I. as those featuring on this crazy hot remix coming soon. This just blew everyone, including myself, the hell away.lol

Just yesterday he released his long awaited video for the song "Matrix". He also went on ustream for the premiere of that video. The video costs 2.99 to watch on his blog (www.mechanicaldummy.com). A portion of the proceeds go to his new foundation, Symphonic Love Foundation.



So much going on with Chris Brown these days in so little time. I told you he's back.lol

Wiki Assignment...

This article by ABC News provides the latest on the anti-homosexual bishop of Atlanta, Georgia, Bishop Eddie Long. Long is accused of sexual abuse by 4 men of his church who say it had been happening since they were teens. He has recently come out and stated that he will fight these allegations and with his congregation standing behind him it is hard to foresee how this will end.

Media diary...

My normal day consists of me waking up at 8:55 (10:30 on weekends) and taking a 15min shower. Then I get on my computer to check Facebook and Twitter to see if I missed anything important while I was asleep. If not I will just roam the net or finish any homework have for that day. After this I go to class around 10:00/10:05 and depending on the class I might get back on the computer sometime during one or two of my three back to back classes each day. Mostly I state how completely bored I am.

I tend to text people in between classes to see where they are and what we are doing right after my next class. We could be zooming to the Jamaica shuttle or just talking and having fun in Marillac, but it’s always good to know. As I walk to each class I listen to my iPod because it is my life. I can live without a phone and IF FORCED a computer (not long), but I am empty and become nutty without my iPod. I am definitely a music junkie. I have been since I was younger carrying around a CD player everywhere.

When classes are over and I go back to my room. I tend to go online and stay on twitter, Facebook, World Star Hip-Hop, Vibe, etc for a long time. I like to catch up with the music/entertainment world. I am always watching videos on YouTube.

I didn’t need this media diary to see how much I consume media. I am a Journalism major for a reason. It has been in my DNA since I was younger. Most people when asked are quite modest in their answers. I will tell you that Media is my life. It is all I do, speak, watch, consume, etc. I love Media and I don’t think it’s an addiction. I think it is not only preparing me in my future field, but just a sign of the times. We are media savvy people in 2010. If it was such a big issue we wouldn’t create new forms of media every day.

iBED?????....

http://gizmodo.com/5645315/the-most-comfortable-ipad-dock-money-can-buy

Apparently Hollandia has created a iPad compatible BED. This Bed costs $20,000. I think that this Bed is ridiculous. There is a difference between luxury and non-sense. An iPad compatible BED is just too much. I mean the iPad is bad enough. We make a huge version of the iPod and call it something different to get more money, now there's a BED for it. That's a bit much.

Miguel...Jontel....LOVE HIM!...

Miguel Jontel is finding new found success even though he has been around for a while. I have known about him for 3 or 4 years and he is JUST now getting mainstream airply, but that's another story(lol). I have been in love with this gorgeous half black half mexican man since I heard the song above. His voice is just so smooth and easy. I would say he's knd of like a male sade or erykah badu, sound wise.

Much to my excitment he will be in NYC this week. I am going to see him Tuesday 9/21 at 106 and Park AND afterwards at a club in Queens. I'm so proud of him. I always have an emotional attachment to artists I discover and love before the world experiences their talent. When I watch them grown and gain success I feel like a proud parent. I'm Happy for Miguel, he is definately one of the artists I used to scream about saying he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. True talent should NEVER go unnoticed.

Here is his Debut single "All I Wwant is You" ft. J. Cole(who will also be at 106)...

Foo...effin...FIGHTERS...

I just felt like expressing how great of a group the Foo Fighters are. They have been around since 1995 and I still think they are one of the greatest Alternative rock bands on the face of this EARTH. I just loveeee me some Dave Grohl. His voice is just....mesmerizing. I am obsessed with Drums and Electric Guitars (all Guitars, but mostly electric and bass). The sound they give off is just the most amazing sound you can ever hear. It brings out the emotional attachment to the music.

The Foo Fighters are great with words and stirring emotions with their music. When you listen to "The Best of You" you can feel what Dave is saying. I know I do. I absolutely love that song and how it makes you think of something you love or enjoy being enjoyed/loved by someone else. It is about a partner in the song, but it can relate to life, a dream, a crush, just about anything. It means different things to me when I listen to it. It all depends on how I feel. Which is what most of the Foo Fighters music does. It can soothe you or just get you thinking no matter what the situation.

I love "Best of You", "Learn to Fly", "The Pretender", "M.I.A.", All My Life", "Let It Die", and my FAV FAV FAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV song "My Hero". When I listen to "My Hero" I just think of all the ordinary people that extraordinarily transform and shape who I am and/or how I see the world. I think of all the people I look up to famous or not. I think of My Mom, My Grandmother, My Grandfather(RIP), Chris Brown, Teyana Taylor, etc. I think of people that I can look at and admire for the strength that they show and all that they endure. I think of how my mom struggles to raise me and my little sister and brother. I think of how my grandmother has always helped her through it. I think of how I want to make my grandfather proud in heaven and be nothing like him, yet exactly like him at the same time. I think of how my favorite artist Chris Brown endures so much and is preveiling through all his struggles and mistakes and hardships thus far. I think of how Teyana Taylor may be the ONLY person my age that thinks just like I do and how even though I don't know her personally I know I have found SOMEONE in this world that can relate to me and how I think. It just evokes a series of thoughts and emotions and that is part of why I love the Foo Fighters so much. Not a lot of people can bring out the best inside of me and bring it upfront with just their music.

My of my favorite songs ever...

I freakin Love Hayley!...lol...

Ok...a lot of people don't understand I listen to the livest of freakin music. I listen to Chris Brown, Treysongz, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, Green Day, Linkin Park, FOO FIGHTERS(i'll discuss my sheer and utter love for them in another post.lol), etc. I listen to different types of music. That is how my mom raised me. Now when I say this band is one of my all time favorites I mean it.

....Paramore is one of the best bands EVER. Hayley Williams is AWSOME. She is the lead singer of the band and has recently been featured on B.o.B.'s song "Airaplanes".

Their new album Brown New Eyes is a great one. Everything they put out, to me, is good quality music. You can relate to it and it is just that kind of music you can listen to to make you think or to comfort. I personally am in LOVE with their single "The Only Exception". This song is a beautiful way of telling someone that you never used to believe in love because all that love was "supposed" to be around you fell apart. Basically telling that person that they are the only reason you believe in love. I may not be in love with anyone, but I damn sure am in love with this song and this group.

Here is the AMAZING song:



Make sure you buy their album in stores now "Brown New Eyes"!

Scott Mescudi......Huh?...

For those of you that don't know who Scot Mescudi is you may know his stage name....Kid Cudi.

He's coming back with a new album and no matter who doesn't like him, you have to admit he is pretty damn good. Me myself being a HUGEEEE Cudi fan (one of my husbands...lol)I am completely excited about his new album coming out. I have been singing Mr. Rager for a good 2/3 months now. Even though I missed his performance in New York recently I am still convinced his live show is bomb (youtube ladies and gents).

His new album is entitled Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. There was a promotional track "REVOFEV", which means Revolution of Evolution, that dropped this summer. His song "Mr. Rager" was also released. His official first single is "Erase Me" ft. Kanye West. I just love KId Cudi, but Mr. Rager is my freakin SONG...lol. Here are the songs below:





And the bestest...lol...

Anniversary of Tupac Shakur's death...

Monday Sept. 13, 2010 was the 14th anniversary of Tupac Amaru Shakur's death. To me this is unbelievable. I can't bring myself to believe that the greatest rapper to have EVER lived has been dead 14 years. His music lives on so deep it's hard to believe it was so long ago that he stopped making music. That is one of the reasons I love Tupac. He had different aspects of himself that showed in his music. He had the gangsta, the informant, the son, the hurt young man from the ghetto, the fatherless child, etc. He didn't try to give everyone gangsta Pac all the time. Some of my favorite Tupac songs are: Ambitionz Az A Ridah, All About You, How Do You Want It, Holla At Me, Rather Be Your N.I.G.G.A., All Eyez On Me, Only God Can Judge Me, Me Against The World, So Many Tears, Fuck The World, etc. There are just so many songs that pour out emotion. I love how no matter what he talked about he said it with his heart. One of my favorite movies of all time is Poetic Justice. Tupac and Janet were amazing in that movie. I fell in love with him even more after watching that movie. And one of my favorite books ever is "Inside A Thugs Heart" which is a book about a woman named Angela Ardis who got in contact with Tupac in jail and became his pen pal. The poems he wrote in that book were simply AMAZING. I love his wordplay, his voice conviction, etc. He was just an amazing artist that was put in situations he couldn't help. He was a true product of his environment and unfortunately that led to us losing a beautiful human being. I love and miss Tupac and will continue to love him not for his "image" but the man who spoke words straight from his heart and didn't wear his heart on his sleeve, but showed you no matter how a man may apprear there is always more to him.

R.I.P. TUPAC!

Kanye West coming back strong...

If anyone watched the 2010 VMA's they know that one of the best performances of the night had to be by none other than Kanye West. The song runaway was extremely powerful that night because it was a year after his outburst during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.

I don't know about anyone else, but I got over than incident quickly after if happened. I think Kanye is a musical genius. He always finds a way to capture us all over again with his music. Recently he put out the song "Monster" which features Jay-z, Rick Ross and the lovely Nicki Minaj. This song is CRAZY. This has to be one of Nicki Minaj's craziest features yet. Below is "Monster"...



Now at the awards Kanye performed his new song "Runaway" featuring Pusha T of The Clipse. This song left everybody singing "Let's make a toast to the douchebags, Let's make a toast to the assholes..." all night. I know I was. Here's "Runaway"...



All I have to say is KANYE IS BACK and he is not playing ANY games!...lol

Apple eases app restrictions...

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE68835V20100909

Steve Jobs was said to have slammed flash techhnology and had a ban on using it to make apps foe the iphone and ipad. Now Apple has decied to lift those bans. They will allow the use of flash technology but will not accept offensive or inappropriate content or apps that look as if they were rushed.

Although they did not name any company, Adobe was appreciative for the lift of the ban. I think that lifting the ban was a good idea because that ban allowed google and the android to start to catch up with apple and the iphone/ipad. It wasn't smart business wise because then the android would catch up and eventually outdue the iphone/ipad.

Nicki Minaj Album 11/23/2010...

Nicki Minaj is one of the biggest female stars today. Her fame grew higher after she signed with Lil Wwayne's Young Money and started featuring in hit songs left and right. If she has anything...ANYTHING at all, it is a large repertoire of features. With only two singles out (Massive Attacks & Your Love) Ms. Minaj (real name Onika Miraj)has done what so many struggle to do....grind. You can sit around and wait for things to happen, but in the music business today YOU have to market yourself and put yourself out there for the world to see. She has done just that.

Her highly anticipated album Pink Friday is already getting fans excited. You can see pink friday twitcons and contests every friday for a follow from Nicki herself. This album is definately just like her labelmate Drake. The buzz was incredible and the album was hungered for. I think the same goes for Nicki.

Kat Stacks VS. Chris Brown...

Now everybody knows Kat Stacks is one of the most hated women on earth. She's a wannabe Superhead with FAR LESS class (if that's even possible). The poor thing sounds as uneducated as it comes. But this isn't about how completely ignorant and disgusting she is. This is about her trying to come at Chris Brown on twitter. Now everybody knows that I'm a HUGE Chris Brown fan. So I just found this whole thing hilarious. He roasted her so bad all while saying he wouldn't be caught DEAD sleeping with Kat Stacks. That was actually one of his jokes. He posted a picture of a coffin and said "This is what happens when you have sex with Kat Stacks...seriously".

I personally think that Kat Stacks is just a poor unfortunate soul that needs to seperate herself from the world and get it together. She has "twitter beefed" with the likes of Bow Wow and The Game(on numerous occasions). She just needs to take care of her child and not try to make herself out to be so big. She is JUST a loose woman going around bragging about her infidelities. Hardships DO NOT equal hoe actions. I don't see that as an excuse. You LET it become an excuse when you simply live your life without wanting more or trying to change for the better.

Have I Ever Told You...

Have I ever told you how much you mean to me,
How you are such a dream to me,
A king,
Your Queen I desire to be,
Something to special for others to see,
Perfection,
In its fallacy.

Have I ever told you I care for you,
Want to be there for you,
To love,
To hold,
To cry on,
You be that which is a true man,
And I the ideal woman.

Have I ever told you how you make me feel,
Like life is worth living,
As if earth has stood still,
Time has stopped,
Rain pauses when it is supposed to drop.

Have I ever told you...
...How much I love you.

In Your Eyes...

What does it take to be beautiful in your eyes?
How can I convince you that I am worthy?
Is it that I don't deserve you?
Why can't I love you like I want to?
Am I not permitted to love?
Can I be happy?
Should I just give up trying to give you my all?
Willing to give you everything in return for very litle,
Selling myself short just to please you,
Looking in the mirror confused,
Thinking "Why don't you love me?",
So pathetic of me,
To be the way I am,
Talking to the mirror,
Hoping that girl can understand,
I just want her to love me.
