Random Thoughts - 2/25/09

I guess I'm truly a blogger now lol. Following in the tradition of the homies Cliff & AR, the following are several random thoughts I've had over the past week. Partake:

DAMNIT! I broke my BAPE coin holder

I wonder how a live performance of "Gibberish" by Ryan Lesile will sound...

Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" is a Dope song! (stamp my late pass)

T-Pain "Chopped & Skrewed" is one of the coldest gospel songs...

Pharrell gives the best shout-outs!

Red Cafe is dope

Shouldn't "what up doe" be spelled "what up dho?"

I'm addicted to the Internet!! Not g.o.o.d.

I wonder what this Drake album gon sound like if the mixtape is this crazy??

I feel like I'm the only person NOT on Twitter

"The Louis Vuitton Don's" (K.West) women's colorways are way harder then the men's to me. (hope they got a size 12)

Pass the offering plate...

If someone was to ask me my favorite genres of music, my reply would probably be : gospel & westcoast music (which comes from gospel & funk). So it's Sunday & I didn't go to church today but I thought this would be fitting for the day:

Dennis Montgomery III (Berklee) playing "I Won't Complain" (this has to be the epitome of being sick on the organ!!!):

What up D. Slate (evolutionZ)?? We gotta step our game up lol

Now I don't know this dude, but he clowned on this!!

Fav Dilla verse

The 2nd verse of this song might be my fav Dilla verse because I can relate to what he was saying soo much. During my early high school years I was on this whole Rawkus/Ecko tip coming right out of the No Limit/Ca$h Money era in middle school. Confused on what "real hip-hop" was. It was soo bad I sold my Juvi "400 Degreez" (dummy!). All of my life I have loved baller shit (cars, ice, boats, etc.), most due in part to my Dad. But I was fronting like I didn't like that anymore when I went thru that early high school phase but deep down inside it was still in me (I'm a Wright!). Anyway, to make a super long story short (I'll have to break it down in a video), I finally came full circle & learned to love whatever is dope to me (that's what makes one versatile in life & art is an imitation of life, hence how WrighTrax can work w/any type of artist). I hate when so called "real hip-hop heads" try to front like your not a "head" or dope cuz your chain is icey...NIGGA Please! Y'all kill me:
