Still A Smooth Criminal.

Outside of all the bad things, allegations, charges and negative things, you can’t deny this man’s talent. Say what you want, but this man was and STILL IS the best thing to happen to popular music.

…From My Visual Expression

Ok, so maybe I nominated myself.. Anyways, support Visual Expression by voting for it in the two categories ‘Best Photo Blog’ and ‘Blog to Watch’ in the 2009 Black Weblog Awards.

I know I haven’t posted in a minute, but all is coming along with the computer and I should be back to posting (on both blogs) in a couple weeks!

Maybe Hip-Hop Isn’t Dead After All…

Anyone that knows me (or checks out my last.fm page) knows that I really don’t listen to rap music that often. However, after checking out Black Milk, Little Brother and tracks by various other Hip-Hop artists, I’ve realized that I can no longer rely on the radio to play music that I’d want to listen to.

On Twitter, Eb the Celeb made a valid point when she was talking about Soulja Boy that I feel applies to many people when they reference the state of today’s hip-hop. I think the reason why people hate on Soulja Boy or dislike his music is because it isn’t for them to like. If you think about it, his key demographic is people in his age range (the 18 and younger crowd). Unless they grew up in a place where they listen to nothing but old school hip-hop, then this is what they’ll like. I guess I understand how my mother felt when I used to listen to this and this.

It’s all a side effect of getting older I guess…

Week In Review

Last week was my first week on my new internship. I wanted to go back to Atlanta to work for Georgia DOT again; however, since the economy went to crap, that opportunity fell through. I spent the majority of the Fall ‘08 semester on the hunt for new internships and when this opportunity with the Federal Goverment presented itself, I jumped on it faster than Sherman Klump on a box of Ding-Dongs.

My First Week on the Job…

…isn’t over yet. It’s only day two and alot has transpired in the 16 hours I’ve spent at the new gig. I have to be at work at 7 tomorrow morning for an on the job training so the recap I intended to do tonight will be pushed back to Friday. Check for it then.

17 Days Later…

What’s good Blogland? Sorry for my extended absence. Alot of the same ol things and some new things have been going on, so let’s recap shall we?

Heavy Rotation XVII: The ‘Master Blaster’ Edition

Is it just me or has the mood around here gotten all gloomy and introspective and crap? Since I haven’t done one of these since March, why not try to lighten things up by doing one now?

Most people that know me know that I’m an R&B dude. I rarely listen to rap but I’ve found myself bumping some great music as of late. Check it out after the break…
