3 Fingers (the title will make sense eventually)


So tonight I saw this tweet…


I was like really? Well the truth is I have arrived late to the greatness of this cat. EEEVVVVVERYONE was on him last year and I was like “meh”. Well this is typical of me. My boy @coopwood and @jazzysoul both put me on J.Cole ( you know him as Jermaine) and I was like “meh”. Now he is like top 5 blog rappers. Now I am not sure if I am using this term blog rapper correctly, but to me a blog rapper is an artist that is building his (or her (pffft,yea right lol)) virally , but mainly through blogs. Also blog rappers are mainly digital (#pause), meaning they can’t be picked up at Best Buy ( which is the standard).  Example Wale (you know him from the raps) dropped Attention Deficit, however I could not find it @ Best Buy (the standard). I actually bought from a local clothing emporium (s/o to Phat Kaps), during a Wale (from the” you-know”) meet and greet. Now the entire purchasing experience was just that (an experience), but it was a little bit difficult to support the artist in the fashion I prefer. I prefer CDs to downloads on iTunes. Wow, what a tangent?!! The fact is there is a different type of ownership consumers/fans take on with blogger rappers. It is “their” artist, because “they” found them. Like most things (i.e. power, a girl who is not….”crazy”, an Outkast album b4 the end of the world (which The Game (the artist not the show) says is 2012...O_O)) it is an illusion. But we putter along with “our” artist and this sense of pride which turns into resentment once they “blow up” (I ain't mad *sniff*). But this is the new consumer and artist relationship …and I LOVE IT and hate it. So when a friend “puts me on an artist” (i.e. Mr. Lamar), even if I trust their taste, I am measuring up my favorites and “my” ”discoveries” (see STS blog posting) to this “new” person. So I weighed KL and found him wanting last year. Coop would be like “O.verly D.edicated is the truff shun”. I was all “ well the cd aint free no more, and the free chopped and screwed version was ..meh”. Now I feel like I have wasted a year on cats that I am forcing myself to listen to (Lil B…Wiz Khalifa…I digress). Artist who have either left me frustrated or wanting more.  This is not the case w/ KL. Now throwing out all rappers due to KL “blowing up” IDK if I can run with that. I do know that he is leading the pack. I guess I will have to wait til I see him live, cuuuuuz K.ing R.emember I.n T.ime is KANG!!!!
Here are some song and post I ran across tonight that I was feeling.

I Fell in Love at a Donut Shop ...ok the Dunkin Donuts adjacent to the Shell gas station...

Oh dunkin donuts girl.
Why must you trifle with my affections and toy with my heart.
For alas, as you were aware, I had purchased 10 munchkins...yet Ye hath given me 4 more to accompany the 10 purchased.
I dare not swoon for the risk of looking weak in thine eye, especially as my head would bounceth off of your cool, clean, porcelain floor. Verily, I say I would be literally head over heels.
Yet, I have had my advances previously spurned by yet another pastry maiden.
The krispy kreme whore.
Whose beauty is only matched by her treachery.
Verily I say to thee my heart can not take being torn asunder yet again.
But the pureness of your bavarian cream makes ones quiver...uh quiver.
Alas that thine motives be as clear as thine windiws, soon, next marrow leave me an extra strawberry sprankled delight and I will have no chose but to admit...
...I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!!!

Song of the Day: Gucci Gucci by Krayshawn



This is my song of the day. You don't have to like it. It's catchy and undeniable. The simple fact is this girl got a $1,000,000 deal off of it. So whether we like her or not she has done something right. Anyway please ignore the fact that I am jumping from Kirk to Krayshawn...I would say my musical taste is more of a potpourri of genres... some might even say I'm a musical slore...whille Krayshawn is brand a slore (nice segue back aye)...a Hypseter if you please. Not to be confused with a Hipster. I hope the picture below helps.

Anyway its a pretty tite song and probably the only one(cuz the other ones are garbage) you will like from the white girl who is running around saying nigga and has not kufi smacked yet. I'm just saying...
p.s. real talk doe her and her like lil friend are kinda sweet

Song: Hello Fear by Kirk Franklin



This song has been a real inspiration to me recently.

i'm back like cooked crack ( i'm not really sure what that means)

Greetings. Hi. Hello. This is me gathering my thoughts (by greeting the reader in several different ways). Now that we are thoroughly greeted I would like to make a confession. I have been cheating on you Blogger. She is younger, easier to more with less, and she is pretty popular. Her name is Tumblr. But you see, for all those reason I was messing around with her, it is those reason I have tired of her. I have not felt truly challenged, or as if I have created anything. (Warning Warning: you are about to enter a spin zone. While in this zone, if one is not careful, a person could easily step into a uh…cow pie. This zone is usually established when a person has been caught in , or is about to tell a lie, or attempt to recover from a …uh…tall tale. i.e. anything a cheating significant other says after being caught cheating. Tou have been warned and management will not be responsible for any ruined shoes as a result of entering this zone.) See, see,uh… originally I was messing with Tumblr...for uh…you Blogger. See I was with Tumblr to learn tricks I was gonna come back to show you. Like What? Uh… like…DAILY POSTINGS…yea…daily postings. I was gonna like learn how to increase my volume with Tumblr and use it with you. So you see, I really did this for you.

As much as that sounded like malarkey, it is the somewhat truth. My return however, can be attributed to, as most things I do, to a girl, female, (Behold) a lady. Attributed to the fact that once you see someone effective express them self in a clear and concise manner, it is …inspiring to say the least. So once again I am back with an idea of how I want to do a blog. And the truth is I know a litte bit of a lot, but that is what makes up me. So this will be me putting me on paper. My audience is me. Some things should be said simply to say it and vent it. I will try not to use names if is, somewhat, juicy, simply because most of the” who” of which I may, or may not speak of are universal. People are universal and the details are not necessary. Plus people who know who I am probably will know who the “who” are, thus adding unnecessary drama to my life. Also I may weave in other people’s stories and life events and telling their names would just be wrong. This is going to be either great, oooor just like every other time I have stopped and started.
