Now playing.....Love

2009-12-03T17:31:00.003-05:00

Is there a place where real love exists? The more meaningful love that comes after the first time u say it cause you know u more than like them. Is there really a feeling that no matter what she does, I’ll accept it. I already accept her, but do I love her beyond me? Do I see her days past me with no judgment in my heart? I see her and hope for such things. I watch love on reels and wonder could I make it real. I believe its possible, but them dam movies make it so interesting. They're at the perfect location and sure you can do that in real life, but how could you manage the dam music and different camera angles...lol. I want love like I need love. Part of me have been waiting for love for years. Just wake up next to eachother and stay in bed for a lil bit. We both holding our pee, cause we don't wanna leave eachother. And we slept with the window cracked so its freezing outside of these blankets.

For once in my life I want something Hollywood. Yes...give me that Hollywood love. Give me that driving down the coast in a drop-top with the wind blowing through my lady's hair. Give me the rain scene with me in my trench coat waiting outside of my love's building. Give me all of those Hollywood scenes with my fair lady.....no cuts....straight action. And no directors either. And no cameramen. Just us playing our supporting roles in the presence of love. Now all I need is a date for the screening.

This Old Man........

2009-11-04T17:05:00.000-05:00

So this old man was walking. Each step was inch by inch......it bothered me at first. He was directly in front of me with having no space on either side of him for me to pass. A few seconds or so later enough room had emerged and I was able to pass him. Although I was relieved to have passed the man, I felt this drowning emotion as I passed him. I immediately felt a sense of guilt, and quickly thought for something I could offer in exchange for normality. "Excuse me sir"...... He didn't mumble anything, he did not raise his head, in fact it was as if he hadn't even acknowledged my presence. I proceeded on my way, only to look back every 3 or 4 steps till I reached the corner where I was turning. I looked back once more. This time the man looked up at me. We locked eyes for what it seems like almost a minute. He didn't speak a word, but I know if he would of.....if he would of, he would have said...... Children of my brothers and sisters treat us as if we are unfamiliar. Yet we are family. Destined by greatness, granted the freewill to join in unison to create greatness. How have the eyes of plenty gone without this vision? I heard your distaste with me, not because of anything you said. Your existence told me all. But I don't blame you, so you can let down that cross you bare. Continue on with your life's journey, our paths are more similar than they appear today. Remember there is only one finish line.

And after he would have said that.......I would have replied......FUCK OFF!!! OLD MAN!!!!!

Where the fuck do they sell hard hats at.......

They want you to man up. Gotta show growth in this world. What are you becoming if u haven't learned anything? And its fuck the cool minority too. You know the ones that became your new majority. You gotta surpass them niggas too. Them niggas be cool in their own situations and that aint got nothing to do with you. It aint even pressure if you think about it. Cause the shit seem so easy every time u read about it. With these blogs n twitter you can't tell me nothing. I already see what it is. When niggas said u gotta make ya own lane. They did not mention u gotta find a location. map it out. break ground. actually create a paved road. then add the dam lines. I gotta admit I came outside with a metrocard n found myself in the middle of nowhere. A million things to do yet I ask myself what I'm gonna do now. Life doesn't give time outs for its questions. So here I am. I never made a skelzie board before but I think I'm gonna give this road thing a try. Now…..where the fuck do they sell hard hats at…?

They Shooting....

I just had to grab my bag and run. It was definitely one of those moments where you hear about a room full of black folks running at the sight of a few others with no questions being asked, except we wasn't in a room. We were outside chilling in the middle of the projects talking about working out. Ironically our talk was put to the test faster than we had anticipated. The sound of "Yo they coming! They coming!" was more than enough motivation to spark that evening sprint. It didn't matter who "they" was, nor did it even matter who was saying it. From the glimpse that I had seen and from the start of brisk movement around me, I knew what this was. Unfortunately this wasn't my first time in this situation. And yes I am grateful for this knowledge, as there was no hesitation in my movements.

Upon hearing the warning screams and glancing over to where they were coming from, I seen the person doing the yelling and I also seen the guys running behind him. I turned back to grab my bag of laundry and proceeded to take off with the rest of my cohorts with each of us scattering off into different directions. I choose to run straight under the building path, across the street, and into building 8. A few others arrived at building 8 from different locations, as the word had quickly spread that "they" were coming". Things died down and I walked over to a "safe zone" where I'd seen others began to regroup. As I mentioned before, this was not my first time and definitely wasn't the first for others who was around me. We kinda joked about it for a lil......that’s how we deal with a lot of our issues. Try and make the best of out the situation.

I got the low-down on what happened and it was the typical case of rival beef. They had seen one guy from my way and chased him back with guns drawn. No one was hurt this time, and this will definitely decrease my in the middle of the projects chilling, but for so many others this was just another 7:30 pm on a Monday night. The story stays the same minus the details. There should be a town hall meeting or something, but then again.......they shooting.

I aint the only one ready to change....

2009-10-30T23:46:00.002-04:00

No Title......just real talk...

2009-10-30T18:47:00.003-04:00

Alright now.....this ish has gotten out of hand. I don't know if its because their daddys left them or what, but these rappers really believe that who ever signs them becomes the new daddy. These rappers are starting to piss me off. I listened to Beanie Siegel diss record towards Hov. I'm not putting that nonsence on here, so yall gonna have to do your own due diligence on that one. Its just sad. These over 30 rappers with families to support have no real love for the game. I'm starting to think Nas was right more and more these days......is Hip Hop dead? I don't know how you could say fuck a man publicly through song and then say its not a diss. Jay Z is the reason why I even know Bean's name in the 1st place. It also kills me how rappers get mad at their bosses for not coming to see them in jail. I promise they didn't have that same attitude towards their white bosses at their "regular" jobs. My momma told me a long time ago, she does not do jail. If I....I wish "I" had more letters so I cud specify it more but ok....If I did whatever crime to get behind bars, then the only person I can blame is the first person I see when I look in the mirror. And on top of that Beans did a year and a day. You talk all this gangster talk, a year should have been a cake-walk for you.

It really gets to me, because when I walk around my hood, these are the people who my young brothers look up to and lifestyles they imitate. And then they not even real. How are you a real man, talking bout there’s stuff that you could tell B that will make her look at you different right now (referring to a line in the song). It’s wack man. These rappers have fucked up society. And of course Im not referring to all rappers, but yes the majority. I watched the BET Hip Hop Awards in disgust. How can we support that garbage? A bunch of buffoons jumping around on stage with cheap ass jewelry on. How I know, because at every award show somebody’s medallion falls off or their chain pops. This time it was Plies.

I don’t know what we’re gonna do, but this has got to change. Im not getting Bill Cosby on my brothers, but I can not get with people who will go to the death for something negative, but wont turn a cheek for something positive any longer. And I have friends that I know from child-hood…..we gonna start knowing less and less of each other. If you aint about change, then you about the same, and I’ve been big on progression. Its time I start doing my part to add to it. Its really about time we all start doing our part. Not like Spike Lee calling Tyler Perry’s movies coonery. Im talking becoming the 1^st Black President kind of moving…..cause a lot of us have forgotten how we felt in November. And here we are knocking on November’s door again. This aint the time for amnesia! And everybody don’t have to be a leader…..in fact we need more followers. We need more followers for education. We need more followers for peace. We need more followers for love. We need more followers for God. We need more followers for us. I don’t know how much time we got left here on earth but I have a niece and a nephew who deserve to live in a great world. Im gonna have children who deserve to see the best of us. I’ll work overtime today, so that they could see that tomorrow. Obama has been talking about change for over a year now. We all heard it…..lets start doing it!

My Friend......

2009-10-28T13:09:00.005-04:00

I watched this old man leave his wife. You could tell it was one of those married over 40 years type of ordeals. I don't know what happened. I mean....at that point what's the point of leaving? Seeing her withered face rise above tears was one of the most sadden sights I ever witnessed. All she kept saying was why......why…...why. He didn't utter a word except for excuse me as he went back inside the apartment to retrieve another suitcase. Not knowing the full story, I felt it didn't matter. She did not deserve this heartache. She survived this crazy world to get where she's at to only experience what many half her age go through. He was not dying,no....he was killing her, walking out of her life. She removed her glasses as she couldn't control the tears any longer. I wanted to do something but what? Should I try and stop him? Should I just hand her a tissue and mind my business? The bible says we are all God's children, so I looked at her as my sister. And as he walked through those apartment building doors and she collapsed to the floor, I ran to help her up. I gave her that tissue and told her.....you don't need a man in your life....you need a friend. Hi my name is Taurean. She wiped some tears away and responded Claudette, nice to meet you.

Claudette and I have been friends for quite some time now. I often visit her and we even attend church service together here and there. Ill never forget the day I met Claudette, but our many days after that day are what's most dear to me. I have found a great friend in a loving sister.....bless the Lord.

My letter to Theophilus London....

2009-10-27T13:21:00.001-04:00

I wrote this after the Santos show....the one before CMJ. Guess this is a good time to share it.....

Whatever zone or realm you enter, it is as if I am right there with you. Your energy and presence on stage removes the locks from the doors where you choose to dwell. For that moment you are on stage, I am allowed access to a place where only the moment exists....outside of beings. I often close my eyes during your performances to catch glimpses of this place, but it is limited in vision.....Mostly felt in emotion. I can't explain and it doesn't matter why, but while you're on stage it makes sense.

To reach a point where nothing matters even time is the true essence of a connection. And you make that......with every presence.....with no wrong existing, only existence. Continue my brother. Your music already creates an interaction outside of physical form......so we have connected more than you can understand. I'm appreciative of my conscious life's timing to be blessed in your conscious life's existence.

Rays of Sun......

Sometimes the sun's rays are reflections of our love. No matter where we are on this earth....I'm with you. I can touch you and you feel me. You feel my warmth engulf in your soul. I touch your skin then make my way within. I travel to your heart.....cause that's where the love is. I relax here. I sit and talk here. I speak words of emotion into existence here. You say I make you love me here. I say you make it easy. I pray here. I speak to the Gods of love and thank them for their glorious feat here. Only such could create what we honor. What we adore......what we love......here.

When I'm alone and I close my eyes, with the thoughts of you I soar through the clouds. I don't have my hands out like Superman or anything. In fact my body kind of contracts in. And my head tilts back. All I see is you. Its so powerful.....a world full of activity couldn't distract me. Here in these clouds I profess my existence to you and my love shines through. I want the heavens to acknowledge the results of their love. We are blessed. We are warm. We are love.....in our rays of sun.

Talk bout baggage. But u better not be talking bout me. My ish is ight. Don't be passing judgment beloved. You should have heard me this morning. I told this here cart it’s gonna turn into a mansion. And I told this blue crate, it’s gonna be a blue Mercedes. I was talking loud too. People were looking as usual but this one man approached me. He made me promise him to take him for a spin once I got the Benz. Now I don't know how I'm gonna find that man, for I've been in these streets for years and this was my first time meeting him. I spoke of this man to a friend of mine and he asked me did the fellow laugh while talking to me.....most certainly not! He spoke as if he believed in what I was saying as much as I did. I thanked him before he took off. The more faith the better is the way I looked at it. Especially since I told that purple cushion, she's gonna be a gorgeous, beautiful, traffic-stopping, bombshell. Hey I've been alone for many days, but today I declare my tomorrow. Today I have put action to my faith. Don't be afraid to do the same. Speak into existence what has been created for you. Know you're worth then declare it! And if nothings pans out, I’ll give you a brand new blue Mercedes Benz.....

He may be on to something with these......

I could picture you now. Standing there looking at the empty benches. It strikes a cord, because this is our place. You're so familiar with the sight of me being here before your eyes. Must be a bitch alone with pride right now. I tried to tell you 3 was a crowd. But you know.....can't tell you nothing. So I’ll show you. Cause you know what empty benches mean. I can no longer sit on these benches......no not in your heart. The same feelings that have brought me to these benches are the same why I'm gone.

The pain from my heart daggers countless emotions into my brain. The rational is.........fear of being lonely. I shed a tear. I know you don't know but I sat at these benches for hours before leaving for the final time. I vast in the moments that you now visit. I know you wanna blame me, but how could you blame me? You walk left in opposition to me, then say I aint walking right. How is that? Listen to yourself, say aloud shut the fuck up and then listen to me. What we had is no more. You thought that this was the only bench in the world and acted accordingly. I received the worst out of the situation and acted accordingly. Google the world's best parks if you're trying to find me. I'm on a great walk.....and I'm sure I’ll find the right bench to sit on when I get too tired to continue. Until then.....fuck sitting down on a dam bench.

I walk these streets coasting to my own tune. I lead my own horn section. My brass is outdated. My shoes don't shine. But I light up this here city. It is my tune that enables your vision tonight. You don't walk to the beat from a speaker. You walk to the sounds of me. I light this city tonight! Now you like this city tonight. You say there's no place like NY....like my sound has boundary. Tell me where does talent live? What's the address on creativity? I'm a Taurus you know my name. Birds don't chirp ova here, they listen. You should do the same.

My life's belongings are in the same bags you throw your trash in. Help me believe shit is worth it. I wear skullies n jackets in the summer time. Hopefully ill pass out. Call that buying time, but I spent the nickels you gave already. See how time gets back what you gave already. So don't ever think you know my life. Yea you giving and they taking.

I don't even know what tomorrow brings. I don't even care what tomorrow brings. Today everyday is fine with me. You think you fine with me? Yet. You think you cool with me? You think you know me? You think you like the way we talk? The way we dance? You like that groove? Let's repeat that tune. Hold hands. Kiss with closed eyes and let that moment take that vision. Eat on soft floors. Talk no more. Make sure there are locked doors. Release from fabrics. Tilt that air. Let me join you. Let me in you as you. For that time I am no more. Who are you but we in this moment? Who am I but we in this time? Who cares what to call what has now become. Plenum.

The Moment......smh

2009-10-14T16:34:00.004-04:00

Growing up through life without a blueprint except for The Blueprint 1, 2, and now 3 aint easy. I second guess lessons like I aint write the lesson plans for it. I just be looking for a guarantee in an indefinite world. And plus those aint my blueprints anyway. My brother last name Carter...not mine. So yes this is my admittance to not knowing it all. No I didn't trip you, but I still didn't prevent the fall. We spoke recently about it. You said your leg don't hurt but your heart do. I don't feel worthy of a man to stand next to you. I think back to laying next to you. Looking in your eyes. Taking in that feeling and you know what I'm talking about. Deeper than being on top of you. Or on the side of you. And yes deeper than being in back of you. I felt it while you was upstairs and I was in the courtyard. You had a different view so I just picked one of the many Rs and imagined it was yours.

Recent days feel like ages ago since these current events. Wondering how I'm gonna face you cross my mind but shit I don't even know if you wanna see me. Part of me wishes this was TV, at least ill have a week till the next episode. But without asking I know thursdays are now on hold. Or shit...cancelled forever for all I know. All I know is that I never meant for any of this to happen. I was just following true emotions. Never thinking that I would fuck up the moment.

Nothing to Say........

2009-10-12T17:51:00.001-04:00

Silence.....there's nothing I can say to you now. Regardless of feelings. And honestly no disrespect to yours, although in opposition to mine. And please don't flip my words and try and make em negative. I aint the bad guy. I should just "lol" after statements to make it all good. I really don't want to say anything. I'm not a fan of drama. Let me just do what I have to do to get some space in this situation. Just a lil space for me and I'm out this bitch. If I was suppose to stay I would be but bitch......

See now I'm mad. Forgive the word bitch, the feelings are real. Paint your picture, they're your brushes, but fuck your picture. That's how you picture me? That shit aint real. Color me red? Shrink my heart? I should of been heartless. Then you paint a dog's head on top of my shoulders. Is that my reward for being with a bitch? And what type of scenery is that? So dark. You aint seen a dark day with me outside of a storm. Is it my fault we can't communicate anymore......Fuck anymore? That was from the first night. Don't tell me I'm obsessed, listen I'm familiar. You the one been here 20-sumthing years acting brand new.

I told you, but you only hear what you wish I say. I aint never really like your choice of words anyway. But you smiled when you seen me. I seen the goodness of a soul for another.....and that other was me. It was a selfless attraction to me and I reciprocated the emotions. I'm more mirror than animal, but that aint what's spoken about me these days. You speak ill thoughts of me into the universe and expect the world to recreate your prince charming. That nigga is still the same whoever and where ever he/she may be. I've been the same being who u saw a glimpse of escape in. You wanted weeklies and dailies, and I was barely a few monthlies with the right travels. The right travels, not your travels. And not even mine. If there's one thing I hope you get out of this, its shit just is. You can't shine it, nor make it smell good. And just because it came out of you does not make it acceptable with me. That's your shit. I try to keep my shit in the toilet.....u do the same. Here's some air.........freshener

#TeamKanye....FTW

2009-09-22T17:27:00.001-04:00

*i wrote this the night of the VMAs.......

Real recognize and u lookin familiar. By now people should know I'm riding with Kanye on this one. It wasn't the best shit he cud of done, but he's got a point. He didn't steal her moment. She's up there talkin bout she sings country, while the song is pop as hell. She is another manufactured pop moment. And she is 19, which means she is a grown ass woman. Running backstage to cry over your VMA moment....FOH. I rather cry for the lil girls who'll never get a record deal cause the labels only sign recreations of fake pop shit like Taylor.

When u deal with true artists and u put them in the same circles as "pop" stars, then wanna place them over the true artists, what the hell do u expect? Its like being at a HS talent show and over and over they reward these half ass talents over true art. Somebody is bound to say something. Everybody pointing their finger at Kanye cause its easy to point the finger at the black man. There is a deeper problem going on. As real artists start to understand that these corporations aint shit, more and more people will start backlashing.

Fuck kanye ova Taylor Swift? No fuck you Taylor Swift and the Viacom horse u rode in on. People liked the song. Fuck that…people like Milli Vanilli too.

Crazy that shit like this still goes on today....

2009-09-22T16:19:00.000-04:00

When I see things like this, it definitely brings me back to a humble place. There are alot of things that I complain about, but my freedom is not one of them. And to have your freedom taken away from you for killing your oppressor is one hard pill to swallow. Sarah Kruzan has been swallowing her pill since she was 16. At 29 sentenced to life without parole, theres a long road ahead of her before she can be done with that pill. This shit really sucks. Welcome to fucking America, where we kill em slowly while theyre still kids.

I been stopped wearing baggy jeans. But now the thugs wear em tight....I still aint ight. Even the ones with the glasses only see one brother. And it aint just them, I heard some ol heads talking down on us too....word to mother. Speaking this and that about our generation...like we aint the future they the ones we replacing. Want credit but don't wanna give respect and vice-versa. Your lessons are our lessons and remember....vice-versa. Your pride done aged into a mule......jackass. Am I trying to be funny? Why ask? Bet you thinking I'm a smart ass.....You're right. But I'm so much more than that if you got to know me. I'm creative..funny..and can do anything if you just show me. We don't have to run these parallel lines across from each other. Ill turn right here, if you could turn left for a brother. Not look down but uplift your lil brother. Think about how proud we'll make our mother. Whoever that may be....but the point is we're family. Don't blood run through your veins like mine. You blink like I do....two of the same kind. They say is love is love and that's real with no signed paper. I'm living Generation Now....we fell in love with our neighbors.

Picture That.........

2009-04-09T20:37:00.003-04:00

Its crazy cause it'll hurt me to be mad at you right now. You pull and push at the same time like I aint human. Babe that’s all I am is a human. Then im a man. Then Im a traveled man. I have been on this road for 24 years and I know it aint easy to understand that. I just need a thought on it. Just ponder my path when you blaming me for not being on yours. We established conversation with the topic being our foundation, and you tell me you aint my shorty. Picture that….literallly…you could relate. I aint asking you to be my shorty. You could keep your legs closed. Just don’t cover that heart. And I know I can be pushing it with the heart, cause the heart is real. And that’s all I was trying to say before. I know “I don’t like restrictions and rules” came out, but your heart should of got what I was really trying to say. Don’t sign off on me, we’re worth more than that. Honestly I told myself to just leave it alone, but im at work and it’s a quarter after eight, Donell Jones comes on and you run across my peripheral. Who am I to disregard your existence? So I started writing and talking to myself aloud. It kinda feels like im talking to you, even though youre no where around and probably not even thinking about Taurean. Maybe you did think about Taurean. Unfortunately only time will tell.........

Ibe & Print.........

2009-04-09T19:06:00.005-04:00

Glad we just caught the album. The homey Print got up with Ibe and in 2 days recorded 2 bangers for the Comic Books Unlimited album. Comic Books Unlimited will be out April 13th.

Here is some footage of the process.....

And yes Print will also be on The Generation Now Album.....

Love in the Rain..........

2009-04-07T21:31:00.003-04:00

Let's run in the rain.....down a quiet street....on a beautiful night. Let's just run....I don't care where, and it doesn't matter. Just running alongside you would be great. I wish us to hold hands and dismiss any opposing thoughts to our presence. Just smile and run through the drops. Our hearts will be full and yes, our clothes soaked but so what. Imagine a sweet tune in your head. This would be so refreshing.....

Do you wish to join me? Please agree. After I promise we can dry off and return to society's living. I don't know why this thought has come into my head but I do not wish to ignore it. It must be for a reason. It just must....... Give me your hand. The shower outside is just as warm as the bathrooms. As we go I pause and think to myself for a sec......and I grin 1000 men's happiness. All thanks to you......

Just me.......

2009-04-03T21:36:00.002-04:00

I am just me. Though I may dabble here and there, I can and will only be me. Don't just accept me. You have a choice, and its cool if you choose not to. Just don't bullshit. Don't call my name then look the other way as if I'm bugging out. I know what I heard. I am just me and that's all I can ever be. Check out my palm. My lines are unique to the core. I have not followed outside of twitter which adds to my uniqueness. Appreciate what you like about me. Help me grow with your talents, if you choose to get that close……

This place wants to force me into a shell. I don't even eat crawfish though. I just want mashed potatoes. My attempts at strength building are downed by the masses. The average never wanna see you supersede them, but they'll still support u if you're dope enough. Life here is a question and you'll never know the answer. This is why one must just live. Disregard the baby on the side of the road....maintain your focus. Look beyond them as you pass them by in the street. Try ya best not to look them in the eye, unless you feel they're worth it. If it turns out they weren't, its cool. Life is also about lessons....

While listening to Jade.....

2009-03-31T21:39:00.007-04:00

I wrote this while listening to Jade's "Sometimes You Cant Say Enough"...Her EP is available April 1st @ myspace.com/jadeismusic & wetnotdry.blogspot.com

In the rays of this sunlight I think of you. I imagine you lying next to me in this field. The grass is green, the birds are chirping, the breeze is light, and my heart is full. I’m speaking aloud….there’s not another human soul for miles. I’m sure you can hear me. Would you like to take a walk? There’s this beautiful tree not too far from here. It sits along a cliff and the view is amazing. We can watch the sunset. I have brought along fruit and wine. Your favorites…..peaches, strawberries, and pineapples. I got them from a great market on the way here. The owner was pleasant; he even threw in the Pinot Grigio at no cost. I’m gonna chop the fruit up and feed em to you. Take a napkin and whip your lips. I love the way the wind blows in your hair. You look like a Goddess. I am your follower. Direct me as you wish…..

I really wish you could taste this fruit. The strawberries are so sweet……and these things are huge lol. I know you would love them. Love…..at times things get difficult for me without you. I try to walk in the right directions, but I never know for sure. You were my concrete and now without you I’m wet. Wet left to world to take shape as they please. And baby you know how the world can be. They don’t know, so they don’t do. If it wasn’t for the thought of you, I wonder…..how could I…..or why would I… There’s the sunset babe….. I….want to….join….you…..

L.I.P.S. is here.........

2009-03-31T16:59:00.001-04:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(New York, NY April 1, 2009)

Loft Boys Media announces
L.I.P.S. the debut project of Producer Singer-Songwriter known as – Raye 6.

Spending the last several years recording and touring around the world,
L.I.P.S. (Love Is Powerfully Sexy) is the seductive siren’s first complete body of work.
Raye 6 is known for her action packed sexually charged live performances full of Roses and Beautiful Ladies blowing Bubbles. Featuring her crews The Haters of Love and The Bubble Girls.
“I let people into my world every time they see me perform. It's time for them to have me in their headphones and homes. That's why I’m releasing the L.I.P.S. mixtape - so the people that love me can have something to take with them.”
Mixed by Brooklyn’s own Dj Victorious (Draft Pick Dj’s), L.I.P.S. is a soundscape which proved to be a perfect ode to the classic songs of Soul, Rock, Pop and Hip Hop as well as to the artists who created them. L.I.P.S. features ten seamlessly blended duets where Raye 6 pays her respect to great music and musicians in her own voice...and lyrics. “ If I were in the studio with Roberta Flack, Rakim, Nas, Prince, Kanye & The Roots this is what it would sound like. More frankly -I'm feeling the shit out of these songs so let me add on to them!”.

Each song on L.I.P.S. was arranged & recorded by the artist herself and came in clusters of five. she explains: “I recorded them on a laptop in a little bedroom in Maryland while on the road. The first five took four days – the other five came to me right afterwards - but in reality, I’ve been singing my own words to these songs since I heard them – some of them for my whole life! When I decided to do an actual Mix tape it came together in a matter of days. Once DJ Victorious was able to learn my language I learned that he could read minds! Every blend and interlude was something he snatched out of my past and attached to the songs without me having to say a word. It's rare to find someone you can trust to shape your sound. I'm not easily satisfied when it comes to collaborations but DJ Victorious made me believe!

Raye 6 is not afraid to be anyone she wants to be. L.I.P.S. gives you a glimpse at the tools that sculpted her into the artist, songstress and starlet she is.
It’s full of Pain, Romance, Fun, Pleasure and of course, Sex.
No matter what it is you are missing – Raye 6 fills the void. You know what we mean.
So listen, laugh, screw and don’t worry - she wont bite – unless you want her to.
Love Is Powerfully Sexy

The ultimate uninhibited Raye 6 experience She Looks Like Fun (Lp) is forthcoming.

Last Week I Watched a Rockstar Fuck Her Audience.........

2009-03-31T16:32:00.007-04:00

Last week I watched a rockstar fuck her audience. She literally made all of us all cum. And she was not alone either. She was accompanied by her two "bubble girls"..... definitely bubbly. I was one of the first to see the ladies as I was outside when they rolled up. I greeted Raye and told her I was excited to see the new set. Yea this was not my first night with the rockstar. Remember "Last Night I.......". She looked so stunning, even being all covered up in her overcoat. She is exactly what sexy is in 2009. Don't fuck with it if you can't handle it......

The ladies walked through us as they made their way to the stage. As I looked around at all of the turned on faces, I couldn't help but notice all of the women present. I watched nipples peculate. Lips being bit. Sweat and other moist secretions be created. I love the cross gender affection of our generation. There is nothing sexier than the essence of a sexy woman being sexy.

They begin.....we are all turned on. Most become jealous as one of us is chosen to part take in the foursome live on stage. Raye 6 does not do shows.....she creates experiences. As Raye's voice controls the air, we float deeper and deeper into her seduction. The Gods have blessed her with their sound. Our souls are bound to her voice. It is a helpless force once to the ear.....no control over it.....absolutely nothing you can do about it....you're helpless.....who's complaining......?

The night continues and at this point we are all engulfed in each other. Sexual seduction is at a peak.....tonight does not have to be over, but this show is coming to an end. An end only due to a new beginning for her virgins. You should definitely come join satisfaction. Bad is the new good, she'll prove it. Leave all of your inhibitions with tradition. This is that new shit. Her name is Raye 6. Come fucke with her....no protection....

While listening to Ibe's latest beat..........

2009-03-26T20:25:00.002-04:00

Who is it that determines success…..is it you? No. Repeat after me……ME. I determine. If I left it to niggas they would never respond to first email. I have to be a persistent bastard. I ask my dad for advice. He’s always right, but he’s also in his late 40s. He couldn’t get Theophilus more than he could spell it. But like I said he’s right. Im just left. Friends I grew up with all I say I left. I still live in The Bronx, how far have I gone. That’s just the physical though. Mentally…I’ve been gone. Nigga we could tape our separate conversations for 2 weeks and not have one thing that we both said match. Don’t blame me. Blame existence. That’s all I’m doing….existing……

I put my heart on my sleeve and my mind in my wallet. Some get to toy with it. They see it there and cant believe its so visible. They think im different for it. I am different, but it aint because of that. They play with my heart and I allow it…..hoping for something. Something to take it off my sleeve and place it next to theirs……but. No one does that. They see it lying there and they grab it and throw it and catch it. Its crazy….they think my heart is a bouncing ball. I allow it till play time is over. When that happens, they usually get mad. They say I’ve changed. No….my brain just came out of my wallet. Now it is your loss. You fucking mistake a heart for a bouncing ball. Idiot. Now leave…….

This physical shit is irrelevant. Skin dies and re-grows. You’ll never speak the same of your soul. I am so pissed with bullshit. And I am the Taurus. Taurean is what she wanted us to call me. I have no complaints, but it does get annoying repeating the same word over and over to the guy saying Toreen. If my name was Toreen, I would of said Toreen. But no you heard Taurean. Address me as such. Is there a place where there is no you or me….and just us……we….them…..I hope…..

Once Upon a Time In America: Sean John Combs.....

2009-03-22T17:53:00.002-04:00

Great interview with Sean John Combs. This is not your average Q & A for some major publication. Barry Michael Cooper…writer of New Jack City, appreciates and understands something different about Puff. He looks at the man behind all of the titles and accomplishments. BMC goes into the man….the process…..the thoughts….the ideas. We are able to witness Puff outside of Viacom and it is very interesting…….

Shyvonne.....CRAZY.....

2009-03-17T20:46:00.001-04:00

Anyone who knows me….well anyone who knows me on a personal-business level. Dam its funny….as I write this I realize that there are so many people that are close to me, yet don’t know the real me. And as I’ve been meeting and connecting with people, I feel like they have a better sense of who I am as oppose to some of the people who have known me for years. It’s funny and it’s not funny. I have had some let’s just say interesting moments in time wondering why this is or wishing it was different. Ok back on…lol. With dealing with anything, from music, writing, modeling, sex, and mostly anything else I am involved in,I am so into the emotional aspect of it. If you can reach someone’s emotions then you made that connection. And I’m all about that connection. You can sing ya ass off, but if you can’t connect with an audience, then what are you doing?

I say this to say that I have come across an amazing female. Her name is Shyvonne. I have known Shyvonne for a minute through working with Mickey Factz and seeing her around at events here and there. I knew she could sing and wanted to fuck with her (not like that, although she is dope as hell and I wouldn’t mind….), but this video of her singing Gnarls Barkley’s CRAZY……smfh. In the video, which is dated Sept 25, 08, she is singing through a video camera. This is not a studio rendition recreated and mastered. This is just her, Melo-X the God, and pure passion. I have wiped tears from my eyes listening to this. Shyvonne is the epitome of a soulful, passionate voicestress. Listen to her and don’t be afraid to join in her emotions. Just let go and vibe out…….

The Pianist........

2009-03-12T11:55:00.002-04:00

wrote this while watching the beginnings of The Pianist.....

My heart romps with fear of love. For to love anyone during this wretched time is God awful. You asked a man in a wheelchair to stand and when he didn't you tossed him out of a window. Told his family to run off and then you shot them down with your machine guns. I watched a man attempt to rob a woman of her food. In the tussle it fell to the floor....he jumped to the ground and began eating it from the pavement. She wept and beat him with what lil energy she had left from the tussling. We walk over dead bodies in the street on a daily basis. And with this all we still try to keep our hopes and spirits. Some of us even have plans on getting out, if there ever really is a getting out. I watched them go from building to building until they finally came to mine. They killed one woman that night. She asked him where were they taking us……

We are all set out awaiting in the hot sun.....for what, we do not know. But a woman did carry her dead son around who died of dehydration. After some time her cries became annoying to some. We're as used to pain and death as this sun. For breakfast and lunch and hopefully not dinner we eat a piece of sliced caramel. Today the train came. They forced them into cattle-like cars. I did not experience this; I only witnessed it, as I did not get on the train. I went back to town only to find everyone left was slaughtered. I was chosen to be a part of the militia. Have you ever watched the lives of souls being taken one by one and wonder what does the next guy feel, or what about the last guy who gets to wait for the reload. I am free, yet we are at war.......

This Saddens Me....

2009-03-11T12:11:00.001-04:00

Since my heart cant love you. My mind tells me to hate you. My body plays the middleman. It gets pulled this and that way. But never your way. You just stand there watching. I hear what you say. But then I watch you as you leave. My mind becomes stronger. My heart becomes heavy. And I lay there. You don’t want what you say you do. It never shows. It doesn’t exist. I no longer hear you at this point. I see you smile. Smiling is a sign of happiness. Are you happy? Have I brought joy to your days? Or is it what I have done that brings you joy? This saddens me……

Hear me out......

2009-03-10T21:50:00.004-04:00

I know I aint perfect, but I’m dam past good. I definitely do dirt, but at the same time I wish I had someone who could prove to me that it aint worth it. And I don’t need anyone to talk to me. I just need someone worth it. Someone who could really listen to me. And really fuck with me. Not fuck with me because I’m different from your exes. It aint easy but understand me. Then we could over stand the world together. I’m a part of Generation Now…..my future is here. I just wish you were too. Yea I’ve been drinking. I’m a pussy with emotions when I’m sober. I just feel like Kanye seemed to find a dope ass female. Where is Amber of T? I had females who swore up and down they were here for me. Know what fucked them up…..my gut. I don’t feel what’s not being felt. Come lay with me and lets shut the fuck up for an hour. Listen to me. And I aint weird, Im just Taurean.

Where are you? I swear I possibly see you everyday, but it’s only a glimpse. I know I need glasses because my right eye’s vision is blurry, but god dam. My left eye is good enough for it to seem like I have 20/20. Truth is I aint seen nothing worth it in their 20s. But truth is I’m lying. And now you don’t trust me. Time is up…..I have to go. I’m never gonna finish this.....

It's Biggie Day...!!!!

2009-03-09T08:57:00.002-04:00

If you’re on twitter, you would feel like today is a national holiday. The Biggie Day tweets have been on blast since early this morning....no like @iamdiddy has been on it since the wee hours seriously. Fuck it…..Hip Hop runs this shit globally, so its an international holiday. Rock ya B.I.G. shirt today. Recite your favorite verses. Talk shit with the homies about how fly BIG was. Throw on a fucking coogi if you want. Blast Ready to Die from your cubicle. Today it’s all good.

Happy Biggie Day……

Gen Now Event....Tonight...

2009-03-09T07:40:00.004-04:00

Talkshow T.....

2009-03-04T14:27:00.003-05:00

Talkshow T is what they’re gonna call me. Im gonna be blogging on some interesting topics for a lil while now. Mostly dealing with the other gender…lol. Females…..Females….Females…..

1st One…..Why do females (early – mid/late 20s) get the epiphany that they should be acting older than they are. Key word here is “act”. Don’t get me wrong, we all should mature at certain levels in our lives, but it’s always the same things. Females in that age bracket always have something new with them that’s suppose to symbolize their maturity. But all that shit is immature to me. Funny thing is, most females call a lot of guys immature for not being into the “new” things. Examples…..

Why do females feel that “its time” for them to be in a relationship? Ok I get that you want more in terms of dealing with guys, but you don’t control shit. You get so caught up in wanting a relationship that it becomes all you look for. Guy comes after guy and if he’s not the “relationship type”, then he’s gone. Now here comes a guy who looks like he can be that guy and you fall for him. You fall only to realize later on, that he only appeared to be “the one”. And now you’re upset and bitter, because you put all this effort into false shit. If it were up to you, you would have the man of your dreams….but this shit aint up to you. Relax…enjoy life. Chances are you’re not gonna find the guy who fulfills your list, but if you open up to life, you may realize how much you really like the guy who only fulfills half the list; And that the rest of the list doesn’t even matter anyway.

Besides, we hate dealing with females who are bitter, due to them falling for “full list guy”…..lol

What a Night.......

2009-02-26T18:02:00.005-05:00

What a night……Woke up at 8AM this morning, mind you I start work at 8….smh. The show was Gen Now dope. Actually met up with JB3 at the train station. Good talk on the way to the show….cant wait to work with the boi aka The Soul.

So I get to the show, but the fucking bouncer didn’t even wanna let me in. My license is expired and faded ridiculously. You cant read anything on it…..I know I gotta get a new one. But I do have my job ID with my bday on it and that’s been working for me since April….smh. This fucker wouldn’t accept it. At first he says its because my job id doesn’t have my bday on it, but after I show him he’s like “oh, but you still need a state id”. Pissed the fuck off at this point, because now he’s playing. Don’t tell me its because of “A” and then gonna bring up “B” and fucking “C”. I pulled out my bank card, voter registration card, and he was still being a dick. And this is not even a midtown urban spot or a swanky meatpacking district spot. We are on Ave B……come on…!!!!

A nice young lady did pull me aside before I went too far and really wouldn’t be able to get in. Shout out to Kiera. She was like “you better get over here before you really miss the show”. That’s why I love my generation and culture. She didn’t know me from shit, but still felt the need to look out. That’s what Generation Now is about…..Real Love for Us. But back to the night. The manager comes out and theres no problem. We all walk right in and now Im happy…lol. See Mr. Mickey Factz before heading downstairs. We discuss the album a bit. Ibe has about 4 joints on there….so crazy! Jesse kicks off the show and rocks it. Didn’t do one of my favorites from The Beauty Created… “Come to My Room” but he’s shooting the video for it this weekend and it will be directed by my Gen Now partner Luduh. After Jesse and TBC finishes, Melo comes on and tears it down. He brought out Mickey, Nicki , and the great Theophilus London. Dooope show. Its always great to be surrounded by my Gen Now peers.

After the show headed off to catch Ibe at the Thompson Hotel. Chopped it up with Luduh, Emcee Don (he’s not really an emcee), Nunnie from Rockstar Society, and lost and found rapper Emcee Nova. Great talks + great music + great liquor = a great night….!

Generation Now....

My sis hit me back.....

2009-02-23T14:39:00.002-05:00

Hey T thanks for the shout out. I really needed that.....you sharing my experience with world gave me the strength to work even harder. T you didn't finish school but no matter what mommy said or anybody else you followed ur heart and did what you wanted to do. I admire you for that...I remember your face at the playoffs last year yelling from the stands telling me to stay on my man (well girl) and jumping up out ur seat when I got my and 1. Those were some of my best moments seeing the expressions on ur face. T I’m thankful to have you as my brother. You kept my butt in line and when I got out of line you made sure to put me back in. I love you so much. So you go out and model with your fine known designers and I’ll bounce a ball in my fine basketball kicks lol. Thanks T love you.

Tempestt and I.....

2009-02-20T08:10:00.001-05:00

I wanted to take some time out to give my sister props. She is one of the strongest females I know. I respect her and admire her a lot. From not playing basketball until high school to becoming captain of her college team and now pursuing playing ball over seas is sooo dope to me. Its funny, we was just discussing how we kind of switched roles from growing up where I was the ball player and she was getting into modeling. Now its the other way around....lol.

For the past couple of years my sister has had a bad knee. She was a dancer growing up, played basketball and ran cross-country in both high school and now college, so the knee has been through its fair share of activity. Recently my sister Tempestt had to undergo surgery, which has her in a brace for about 3-4 months. We're now in the 2nd month and I swear I haven't heard Tempestt complain about shit. She went from not being able to leave the house for weeks to making it back to classes. She's not able to physically play on the team, but she's been out there recruiting. I fucking love my sister. I remember years ago when I was still hooping, I had her on the court doing defensive slides.....now she's talking to me about breaking her school's records. It’s crazy….!

She's an incredible woman. I never had to worry about her doing hoe-ish shit. She represents herself and our family well. She has dreams and I'll do my best to see that she lives them. And I’m sure she could handle that without me, but hey....I'm her older brother....

Hey Temp....I never even call you that...lol. Just wanna say I'm proud of you and keep your dam thing. I know you'll be back on the court soon and like you say....."I'm gonna kill".....go do ya thing sis. I love you and I'm here for anything.....even though I'll rather watch the Fashion Week shows and you NBA TV.....lmao....love ya…

Gordon I used to like you......

2009-02-17T07:51:00.002-05:00

Fuck you.......you smile in my face then spit on my back. You don't give a fuck about me. I am but a number in an equation to you and God forbid the numbers don't come out in my favor.... You don't understand, so you don't know, so why should I care? Fuck a recession, God knows no financial down-time. You have no passion in your abilities, there for you try to bring me down. Fuck your position, I am a career. There is no application. No screening process. Fuck your prerequisites. You want a degree, check the weather. I am man built and God sent. You ain’t see me before, for damn sure ain’t seeing me in the future, so why would I look familiar now? And you shouldn't if you could. I think, eat, and breathe Taurean......and your name is? And your company name is......? I bet yall down-sizing right now too right? Kiss the asses of all those who you let go.......

I heard I should be lucky since I haven't smelled the gasoline. Fuck you, that smell ain’t foreign. I'm cool this time around, but Sooner or Later.......fuck with N.E.R.D. if you don't already. It all comes crashing down when the fuckers who are suppose to be holding you down do nothing but literally hold you down. Get your motherfucking hands off of me........Bitch...lol. Its obvious, in the plan for your business, I'm not mentioned. There is no section for leaders. Attention all brilliant motherfuckers......We are not welcomed here! I'm not asking you to join me. Join us......those who see the difference. We who know, but more importantly, we who will. Fuck this bullshit dome they built. On Tuesday, I'm handing out rocks at 9AM sharp and probably won't be done till around........5 fucking PM. Welcome to your new 9-5 interns. Don't like the word intern, then never stop throwing rocks at the dome........my leader......

Not really sure what to write about…..there’s so much going on. I am literally involved in changing the world. It’s definitely not just me. I’m surrounded by so many great people. I’m also currently considering a huge move. It’s one of those moves that can really turn out great or really turn out bad. The uncertainty of it is kind of attractive. I’m listening to Radiohead and I swear it isn’t helping…lol. Radiohead puts you in that freedom zone. Like I always imagine listening to great music roaming across the globe and taking in incredible sights. I don’t know what to do. I’m going to call my pops. He offers great advice. I’m sure he’s gonna mention my job, because if I do take this opportunity, my day job is finito. Not that I love my job, but in this economy its tough…..FYI I hate the way I just came across….talking about the economy in opposition to what I want to do….smh. Sometimes you just gotta live life….this opportunity came my way. Who am I not to fuck with it? I don’t control this shit. I’m just a being. Why am I worrying about shit that doesn’t exist outside society? That’s why I love animals….not in a PETA way, but in an admiring way. Animals don’t worry about jobs, time, jealousy….they just live. Aint that what Generation Now is about? Doing what we feel. Living how we want, as opposed to what they suggest. Not gonna front….I’m a lil scared, but its more excitement than fear. Shit fear is False Encounters About Reality anyway. SMH a million times……don’t know what I’m going to do. Almost 3PM….I’ve been at work since 6AM, its time to go. Generation Now…..I love being a Blak Car….

Road to Model.....

2009-02-13T15:58:00.003-05:00

I had a casting with Steven Gomillion and Dennis Leupold from GNL Studios last night. This was my first casting, so I was a lil nervous. I actually walked in with Dennis, which was good because I was definitely walking in the wrong direction before he stopped me and said, “the casting is down here”. Inside it was crazy......everyone was in there with their big portfolios and shit. Some of them knew each other from their agencies. Can't front it was a lil intimidating, but you gotta keep your confidence. Shit, we all filled out the same dam paper. After wiping the massive beads of sweat surrounding my head and face it was my turn. I hand the girl my book and inform her that I'm just 2 months in. She smiles and I walk up to Dennis who is doing the shooting. I stand in front of the white backdrop holding my paper up and he takes 2 shots then tells me to turn to the side and takes a couple more. He then asks me to smile.…..the first one was too pretentious and he asks me to take another. I give him a more authentic one and he agrees saying “that’s more like it”. And that's it. Steven, the other photographer was going over my book and he commented on of the pics before handing it back to me. I proceed to grab my things, throw my readers on, put my on my headphones, thank everyone, and head out the door. But as I’m walking out, Dennis stops me and asks can he shoot me as is. I figured hell yea, especially since I didn’t know what kind of impression I left on them. I'm guessing it was the readers….lol, but we take a few more shots, I thank them again and proceed to head out the door, but before I leave the young lady there says I remind her of someone but she doesn’t know who. No problem to me I was saying to myself. Shit any publicity in there was good publicity to me.

In all, it was a good experience. I definitely look forward to more. Hopefully I’ll be a lot cooler and wont be sweating like crazy….naw….anyone who knows me, knows I’m a sweater…lol. I can’t help it….

Here is my response to the comment. Click HERE to read the comment made by dominantintelligence

According to you I should be doing a lot of googleling….lol. First, you’re speaking on Barack’s politics. I didn’t and choose not to speak on his politics. When I refer to Barack and the people, I’m talking about the wave of inspiration, hope, and motivation he has sparked. Again people across the world are motivated to do SOMETHING. So many people have been living dormant for a long time waiting for something or someone to kick them in the ass. I’m not praising Barack as the second coming, but I do recognize what he has done. And if you’re going to speak on America’s karma and that has you afraid to believe or agree with change, then that’s just unfortunate. America’s karma (whatever that is) is no different from the karma of humans (whatever that may be). My point is you’re speaking on something that does not exist. We can sit back and label a bunch of shit America’s karma, the same way we could label shit the karma of humans, or you could just live life. And then there’s Stockholm syndrome…. I really have no comment for this one, except for the fact that I believe you’re assuming I’m just caught up in the hype. Well if hype creates shit, then I’m hyped the fuck up…..

Week of Raye....Best 5 Songs...

2009-02-10T12:26:00.009-05:00

So like I said this week is “The Week of Raye…..” And I got some cool, interesting, and definitely sexy words from Raye 6 herself. Valentine’s Day is this weekend. A lot of love and emotions are floating around. It’s a good time…..So I asked Raye 6 to hit us with her best 5 songs that gets her in the mood, and she even explained why. And then she even blesses us with her own special menu for a good night. Dope shit…..

1.Hollywood by SA-RA: it's just so funky and nasty you can be anyone you want to be for your man or woman...

2. Adore by Prince: he's a king so he knows how to make a woman feel like a queen "until the end of time, i'll be there for you" Prince will make you feel like you not lovin' hard enough and then next thing you know you and your partner will be fucking and crying at the same time!

3.Meet Me by Raye 6: ok...now the verses are about pleasing yourself while on the phone with your partner and the hook "oooh oh ooh oh" is kinda like a cry of desperation! Words can't explain how I feel so i'm just screaming on the hook!

4.Crown Royal by Jill Scott: let's be honest..you never heard Jill talk like that on a track! She likes to sugarcoat sex talk but not on this one! "Ya diesel Mangine I'm squirting mad oil on!" how nasty is that! I love it! You heard her! She said "I flip Shit" And SO DO I!

5. What You Give by A-Alikes: Some rappers don't think they're sexy when they spit on most tracks but this is one of the sexiest cadence's I've heard ever..and Bilal on the hook! Damn! The beat just has you doing things you forgot you could do!

Here's my menu for a good night: Baby oil (don't be afraid to get messy!) Patron, Smoke machine(yea i said it! we go in!), Candles and flashing lights! and protection of course! And if you really want to get freaky..Leave some options open if you know what I mean!

Uh oh.....1st opposing comment....

This whole situation is bigger and deeper than race and Obama. He did forgo big bucks to work in public housing but he also voted for the 2007 global poverty act. Google it dont take my word for it. This black man raised more money than his democrate and republican counter-parts combined. He owes some favors. The US is a corporation not a country. Google that too. Corporations have their best interest in mind and not necessarily the employees. (the people)The drama is coming to the US because of Karma not Obama or whoever else fills that position. The face of imperialism is now black. I guess it is better to get the high, hard one from someone who looks like you. Stockholm syndrome. Google that too.

Hey Mr. KRS......

2009-02-05T15:36:00.004-05:00

Let me start with this…….I am in no way coming at KRS and what he has done for Hip Hop. He has the utmost respect from me and will always, but after viewing this video and hearing his words…over 9 mins worth. I’ve heard enough to form an opinion and this is my dam blog. I’m not really into the disclaimer shit, because I feel it takes away from true shit, but I do understand the magnitude in which a lot of people view this man. And with that said……here’s the video and my words will follow….

I’m not gonna speak on the freestyle. I’m only sticking to the words from KRS off-stage. I understand sometimes you have to use words just to rhyme. That is not the case with just speaking….

First of all, for any black man to have anything negative to say outside of a personal experience with Barack Obama, you got to be out of your fucking mind. It’s the same guys who preach that we need black leaders for today and then when they’re not the ones picked as the leader, they have all of this negative shit to say. I remember Jesse’s on air antics, calling Barack an “Uncle Tom” and then gonna cry like a baby when he’s elected. KRS you’re not too far from the tree. You’re against Barack because he is a politician….WTF. How else do you become President of The United States? Saying a politician is a politician. That’s the same attitude that has kept racist fuckers saying a black man is black man. You can’t just keep fighting just to fight. There has been battles and will continue to be battles, but you must also recognize when and how to fight. KRS, you bring up issues of the past. A man today cannot win a lost battle yesterday. I don’t care who you are. These are times of NOW. I’ve witnessed HUMANS embrace Barack and EACHOTHER. You speak of Martin Luther King, but this is his dream. Martin didn’t say he wanted equality for just black people. He said he wanted equality for all mankind. This is a man who is for the people, and as you said, if Barack is truly for the people there will be opposition. KRS-ONE you are the opposition. Don’t tell me you never voted before, but you voted in this election so that you can critique. You waited for a black man to become a Presidential nominee to exercise your right to critique? What is your purpose? You’re so stuck in yesterday’s article; you can’t see the headlines of today. You don’t get into emotional politics. This is what we need in politicians….some dam emotions! When Barack speaks, we feel him. Last week I was at my man Oun-P’s crib…..shout out to Oun and we got into a conversation on how Barack gives us the confidence and belief that we could really achieve whatever the fuck we want……WHATEVER THE FUCK WE WANT! And we were just 6-10 young black men in one room in a South Bronx apartment. Now think about all the other young black men that feel the same way we do. Now think about all the other young black women who feel the same way. Now think about all the young people across the globe that feel the same way we do. You dam right there’s a revolution brewing. In fact there’s a few of them. I’m a part of Generation Art.er. And wait…..my moms got Barack hanging up on her wall. I watched a grandfather take his granddaughter to the inauguration and couldn’t hold back the tears because seeing a dream unfold was just too dam emotional. Think about the ones who endured growing up during the Martin days and then had to turn around and raise families with beliefs of a change is gonna come. Think about how they feel. You saw the footage of cheering humans across the globe when Barack got elected. Think about how they feel. Think about how we all feel and then reconsider your stance. KRS you are a great soldier and we truly need strength like you, but come join us in our battle of today. You want political prisoners free….lets do it then. You want to put an end to police brutality….lets do it then. Barack is one man, but we are many. And he gave us something great that we carry with us everyday of our lives……..YES WE CAN…..

Gen Art.er....

2009-02-04T17:29:00.004-05:00

Its been a while since Ive “been back”…..lol. But since Im really back this time and Ive been gone for soooo long. Some appreciated readers have expressed their concerns about whats going on with the blog. Well um…..ive been a lil busy. I am changing the world. And also currently listening to the latest creation by…….I wanna call him so many things right now, so Im just gonna call him…..Ibe. Ibe is a producer that I mange. Ibe also told me this morning that Mickey Factz already picked the beat. Made yesterday, tomorrow its gone. I told yall I am changing the world. Also please excuse any arrogant undertones in my writing this afternoon. This beat got me in a zone. The zone is so so Generation Art. For those who don’t know who or what Generation Art is. Look it up….naw Google aint even got that one yet. Gen Art is today. Gen Art is the calumniation of artists in this generation that’s ready for the revolution. And trust…..the revolution will not be televised. It will be streamed motherfucker. I wanna go in on some writing, which I haven’t done in a minute. I swear I wish yall could hear this beat right now. Its so adding to the ambience. And this writing is all freestyle by the way. Straight from locked in current thoughts at the moment…….LETS GO….

Gen Art…..my art and yours if youre that cool. Not their cool. Put on ya readers and feel alive. I see through fuckers. Im thinking about fucking. I got a girl now. Go figure with a figure. I know some aint gonna like that, but like me I don’t give a fuck. Im starting to only wear 3 jeans every week I think. And a few shirts……cause I love fashion. I even started modeling to capture the moment. Im so in love with my culture, I feel like Im cheating. I feel so alive in this current. I remember reading SteveO’s “Words By” before the new year and seeing everybody talking like they were down. Down about the establishment and feeling everyone is fake. I seen a culture ready for a lution. So here I am…..Here we are. Ftharest…..shouts to my crew in Jersey. That’s their mantra. See we crossing seas. But no literally Theophilus has a UK tour coming up. Right this second, but actually I had to take a 15 minute break from writing to chop it up with a fellow Gen Art.er. See we met on twitter cause we seen we both follow the same people and then thought eachother’s words sounded dam familiar. We exchanged gmails to keep the lution brewing and now Im back to writing. I wanna say something to make us join up even more, but I see it happening. I feel the Obama love in my state of union. Spoke with MeloXTRA earlier today. He’s down with the collection. Oh yea….The Collection is going down. Thanks to Ibe we will be hearing some of the dopest Gen Art.ers go in over the beautiful creations of Ibe. Speaking of beautifully created, if I don’t cop that Beauty Created by fellow Gen Art.er JB3…..that’s Jesse Boykins III ya’ll…..I think I might hurt myself. I took my homegirl to one of his many shows and she bought one on the spot. I don’t know why I didn’t get one then, but its all good. JB3 will be on the pod tonight. If not…..you could kill me……Im living life so much, I have some to spare. And yes the beat is still playing. Repeat that shit…….Repeat that shit! That’s the chant right there…lol. Good words in a short period of time….it feels good. But I gotta hit Luduh up. More Gen Art.er shit in the works. For real tho, I think I like Gen Art.er better than Gen Art….hahaha. Yea that’s what Im gonna use…..Play with your own squishy…..!!!! ……should I spell check?…..Naw what the fuck for! You know what I mean…….Im a Gen Art.er! Few more words as the beat plays out. I wanna end our ride together! And here it is….on que

Oh yea.....pic above..created and taken by ya Gen Art.er...

Road to a Model......Part Three....

2009-01-11T21:23:00.004-05:00

A small shoot today. We needed some plain shots. So it was just white t-shirt and jeans today. It’s a lil chilly in NY right now and we shot outside on the roof of the studio. It wasn't too bad. We only stayed out for like 15 mins or so. I tried to take advantage of being in the cold, as I know there will be more days like this. I want to be as prepared as a model as possible. I think we are just a few shoots away from having a decent looking full portfolio.

In all I'm getting more and more comfortable shooting. I have only shot with Briian, so I'm eager to see how working with other photographers will pan out. We also set-up my modelmayhem.com page today. We're just waiting on the approval and I should be good to go.

Success is Amongst Us.........

2009-01-06T09:45:00.005-05:00

The lovely love from Boys and Clothes , Teneille wrote this dope letter to Success . So dope that Success had to write back, but hop over to B+C to read Teneille's letter first.....that'll make more sense......

Hey Teneille,

Success here, how are you? Heard through the grapevine you have some interesting thoughts about us. If you haven't noticed, I've been checking you out lately....well actually for a minute now, but definitely more lately. As you've matured you've become more and more attractive. I'm strangely particular about people I come into contact with. But with you, you give us vision. I can see us hand and hand shedding our influence on the world. I can tell you want to help people; we would make such a great team. The more I think about you, the more I want us. I really hope you don't think I'm just playing hard to get. It's just that in the past, I have committed myself to others. Some even gave all that I could offer, but a lot of the time I'd end up just getting abused. Now I'm not jaded or anything, but I do try to take my time and get to know more of the person. This is why, even though we've met a few times, I've been reserved. Teneille I want you to know that I am very interested in you. I want to see what we can build together, but I have to warn you. When I come, I come hard, so I hope you're ready. I only ask that you be prepared for when opportunity knocks. You'll never know what will be on the other side......

See ya soon babe....

Melo-X.......Da God....

2009-01-06T09:12:00.005-05:00

I sit in this Saturday brunch hour appreciating life as art in the form of music, as it is performed through the soul of a Melo-X. Melo is one of the illest artist around. His lyrics are b-boy poetic. His swag is generation pop-art. His dress is melo squared. The scene is cough medicine ill. I'm just happy to be here ya know.......

He puts me in a place where I know good music exists. There are no worries or concerns. I'm able to let my guard down. I enter Melo's world as if I belong.....he is that inviting. As I enter I am greeted with an energy that suggest this isn't our first meeting, so I guess......it’s nice to meet ya. I am excited and relieved. I sit down and open just my ears. My literal vision is darkness, but I see Melo on a stage and this is my first time seeing him perform. The ambience is Brooklyn-Hard, so being from The Bronx I am appreciative. I smoked before I got here, but I have a clip left. I pull out the napkin that the clip is wrapped in and join the night's cipher. Melo's crowd is more like a union of dope emcees who don't rap. We each hold our own stage. And might I add the only race that matters here is Hip Hop........all colors and sizes, but one Hip Hop.

Melo blasts off with joints recreating vibes of yester-year. His samples are artfully picked and fit right into the perfect groove. Groove is a great word for Melo, as it hints at a classic stint in time, yet the delivery is right on point. It's like being at a dope house party and the DJ is rocking the whole night. Shit.....he even stops the music for a sec because dude keeps bumping the table.

Melo-X is a front-runner in our generation's elite. Not bound by boundaries, Melo dives into the pool of life reciting his own lyrics.....literally. The average sees the beard and thinks Philly. Others see a path, not walked by many. They see an artist who creates movement through music and vision, and they fuck with it. It's apparent he's authentic and they feel the same......shit we feel the same. I fucks with it Melo. I know a place too, and it's where we're at today and where we're going tomorrow. And we don't have to worry.......Melo is conducting this. Let's hop into the Renaissance.

Question the vultures who only read titles and headlines, and then write their own articles. Fuck with those who molest your soul in a positive way. Take their gems and wear em across your heart. Love thy neighbor in a pair of Adidas. Capture moments of those who put spin on life and force you to move. Society suggests looks, the ill create them. Melo is sick........There is no treatment. He creates his own medicine. Fortunate for we, he shares with us.

Shares with us........Melo-X...

Road to a Model.......Part Two.....

2009-01-06T09:01:00.003-05:00

So we had the shoot Saturday. The shoot was on my mind all day. I'm really taking this serious and want to do my best. I started buying a few magazines, so that I can watch other models and pick up a few tips. There is a heavy emphasis on the eyes. Everyone's eyes seem focused, like you can get the emotion they're conveying straight from their eyes. I will keep this in mind. It’s funny, now when I'm in the bathroom or alone near a mirror, I try practicing different looks and delivering emotion through my eyes.

No one has asked me this yet, but I'm sure someone will someday down the line.......why am I modeling or want to be a model. Since I'm the forecaster that I am, I shall beat them to the punch. Besides other people asking if I had already modeled, modeling is another form of artistic expression. I'm fascinated by becoming another character. It’s an escape for me. You put on certain clothes and they to talk you. I look in the mirror and start to become the character that I am feeling. It also helps when I'm given direction. Again this is all the beginning, so we'll see what changes as I go on further.
In all 3rd shoot was dope or as the boy Briian says......Dopenesss! We're getting some great shots. I actually have a new favorite.

Waaaaaaiiiiitttttttt...........!!!!!!!!!!

written dec 24, 2008

I'm definitely open, yet humble after seeing the results of the two shoots with Briian. Briian has incredible talent and fortunate for me, he is capable of handling most of the required tasks/jobs. He provides the wardrobe, styles it, takes the shots, and then pushes em. I'm over grateful. He even gave me this dope idea of capturing the journey of entering the modeling world. It’s a dope idea to me because one, it’s something interesting to write about, two, so many times mainstream media portrays a false image to how things really happen in the real world and I'm all for pushing real authentic shit, and three, I get to document my own journey......that's dope in itself.

So at this point I am still a novice. I have only done 2 photo shoots with one planned for this weekend. Briian said we're gonna get some “shirt and tie” shots in a restaurant I'm looking forward to it. I always enjoyed dressing up, so you can say I never turned down requests to be any sweet sixteens or anything like that.....lol. I also have to cut off all of my facial hair, which should be interesting. Some people are against it lol, but its for the greater good………

Look at what I did Last Night..............

Her Thoughts After Him............

2008-12-01T17:06:00.002-05:00

As words like fuck it run through my brain, I grow tired from seeking answers. I am lost in a circle looking for a point. He is all that I am left with. And not him physically, even though we got physical just the other day. And I know I shouldn't of have, but how does one say no to what has been hearing yes for so long? And how does one turn down what has been turning me on even up to this day? Your wants battle your needs, while he watches. He knows I want him, that's why he's here. He's a slick fucker, but I like that about him. He's persistent, so is my flow....... He feels my body's response to his familiarity, and assumes he's good. Motherfucker is good.......was good.

Niggas aint shit. Yea that's the theme outside of climaxes. It seems that's all niggas are good for anyway. A good fuck on a good day, cause that shit aint even promised. Fuck being a boy, I just wish I had a dick so I could piss on these niggas the same way they try to shit on me. And I know I don't need a dick to piss on niggas, but a dick does help with the aiming.......

Sweater, and I ain't talking bout a Coogi......

Boys And Clothes is becoming one of my favorite blogs. Maybe it’s the male vs. female thing they got going on, but either way To Sweat or Not to Sweat? Are you a Sweater? definitely grabbed my attention. I left a comment, but I had to share it here. Soooo here it is.....

Wait....Wait....Wait. I AM A SWEATER and have always been. And I am not ashamed for it has never (never) got in the way of my action. I have to admit, it isn’t the best of the things to add in the bedroom (or.....) Throughout the years I have developed a few techniques.....lol. So fellas don’t feel insecure or none of that shit. If you hitting it right, a lil sweat aint gonna stop anything. But here are a few tips to keep your sweat in check:

-Have something to wipe yo dam head.....towel, wife-beater, blanket, etc.
Trust.....it is a bitch to have sweat in your eyes during sex

-If you’re sweating that bad, switch positions. Don’t be all in her face when you know you’re dripping. Switch to doggy.....you can wipe all you want and she doesn’t even know because she’s faced the other way

-Lastly don’t allow the sweat to take control. If you’re sweating, don’t get all insecure about it. Concentrate harder and tear that azz up. She may still talk about your sweaty ass, but she’ll invite you back…..only this time she’ll have something to wipe your sweaty ass with

Ight….Im starting to feel like Dr Phil-Goode......lol

GoodLife out......fisthenewe.blogspot.com

Just the way you are……

2008-11-21T13:37:00.003-05:00

After Reading my homegirl Patrice’s post on Boys and Clothes ........

Your words grabbed my attention before I formally met you, cause I knew you was ill. You didn’t look like them and it was so refreshing. Locks of love are what you call them and I agreed. I have the comment to prove it. And I just found out you like Radiohead, House of Cards is on my mind at the time. “I don’t wanna be your friend, I just wanna be your.....” Let’s just say we can chat about whatever. It hurts me to see a friend feel like her wings are in two. She should be over a cloud right now. I wish I could sing, lyrics seem more meaningful than a blog posting. As I think about it, Mo Beasley has a song called “Normal” and he talks about how we’re not normal. You should look it up.

Fuck society and anyone else who chooses to side with it. No hard feelings, but really fuck you. I’m tired of ill motherfuckers feeling left out or out of place, because doing just the norm just aint that cool. Thank he, who chooses them, because he could not know how to appreciate a real chick. Do your fucking thing; the real niggas would notice.....I have.........

It was all a Dream............

2008-11-20T15:26:00.004-05:00

My dude Elvis Freshly/Emcee Nova/Rose Nov or whatever else he’s going by these days….lol has an ill blog called Brooklyn's Dream . He just did an in-dept analysis on who’s the best storyteller…..Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas. Nov goes in with examples from lyrics that bring you right back to the time you first heard em. I was open off the “But my mind's like a flower in bloom//peep how my eyes just scour the room//I'm alert plus I paid the clerk//I got it laid out//you think you the first nigga I played out……” from Jay’s Friend or Foe *98-In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. I haven’t heard that one in a minute.

Words from a Generation.........

2008-11-20T14:32:00.003-05:00

My boy Steve-O from the acclaimed GFCNewYork had the incredible idea of posting the current feelings of his peers on his blog over at C to the JL . I'm all for real emotions, so you know I was into this. There were some great thoughts. In all, the postings to me were artistic expressions of an interesting generation. I was happy to be a part of it. So check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Itz Mickey............

2008-11-19T16:56:00.003-05:00

Im like hella excited for this man right here. Since the first time I went to his myspace, I knew he was the truth. But the reason why he's at where he's at today is because of work.....hard fucking work. And yea Im working with him too......

Here's a link to his Billboard story...... Itz Mickey.....!!!!!!!!

Walk..............

2008-11-18T19:12:00.003-05:00

I'm walking. Does it matter to you where? It shouldn't, I'm walking. Should have cared when I was just chilling. Sorry I’m walking now. Meet you at the end if you have big enough goals...........

People always want more of what they can't have. They never appreciate you when you're there. They push you away then try to love you back in, like that's cool. That’s cold. My heart burned from your love, you seen the sweat and never passed a napkin.......She did. And don't hate words that stem from your actions. And don't want what you once had. And don't receive what you now don't deserve. Keep it life with me. What happens before a mistake is not important; it’s what I learned after that will never allow me to return. I'm a walker. My steps lead to a big clock with GoodLife engraved on the back. I’ll be ahead of it when I get there. My timing is perfect. Every lesson is learned and I'm rewarded with a hot new piece to add to the wardrobe. So when you compliment my style, contemplate my mind. Cause that's where it stems from. I'm walking my fucking street with my fucking ipod on mute, because my thoughts are too fucking loud. Hear me when I'm silent, and you'll understand me more. I'm quiet when I'm excited, look pass these readers and make out the words. The liars scream out words like they know me, and I aint rude but those aint my homies. I tell them bye then I say what's up. Cause they was gone when I met them, but they here when I leave them. Wished they could have followed, but I'm walking this way. No directions, I'm following my soul. Ask yourself could you walk with me and then listen for own directions. Walk........

None Like Us, So None Like Us.............

2008-11-17T14:45:00.001-05:00

Who we are, are not like them. They see what we predicted. They call us ahead of our time when we are neither late nor early. Motherfuckers we are right on schedule. Don't question me, appreciate me. I don't even need you to understand me. Dogs still can't speak english. And don't get offended we are all animals. Some of us just choose not to accept it. Life is real whether you choose to live it or not. This morning I wore what I felt and didn't see anybody who looked like me all day. You do the math. There is no square root to this equation. Nigga do I look like a product to you? I'm more like the subject, and I climax everyday. Did I mention I was celibate? I gave up fucking the world a long time ago. Now we just live together. Agreeing to disagree. Your dance space, my dance space. I had a few more examples, but I think you get the picture.

So don’t like me, she does and that’s cool. Niggas aint like me since we started switching classes. That was my first experience with niggas and periods. Years later I'm immune to old dumb shit. Plus I met niggas like me, and they had girlfriends who liked them, so now it’s all crew love with cool motherfuckers not like you.....

I'm coming out of you.........

2008-11-13T19:01:00.003-05:00

You're no longer needed, nor useful. This partnership is no longer cohesive. We have given and taken until now. You have not what I desire. Don't ask me what it is. It is irrelevant to your lack. I only speak out of respect, so don't look at me that way. You promise what you could not deliver and I will not allow my soul to fall delinquent. I'm coming out of you.......

I'm still here, but I need to go. You live a life not desired by me. It is not a misunderstanding, but a misdirection. Soon I’ll be back on track. You deal with me today, the same as you did when I was a child. I am coming out of you. I never birthed myself, yet it is difficult for you to determine the difference between me and the man that did. You are sorry; you just don't realize it yet. I accept your apology, even if I never hear it. I'm coming out of you.......

Peace motherfuckers, I'm gone! I say that to myself. My mans hardly get me anymore, and it’s just too easy to be misunderstood now. So I keep it the basics sports, money, and girls. And we all choose to agree or at least agree to disagree, so it all works out. But I swear with a few of them, it’s either my eyes are getting bad or these niggas just aint looking like they used to. Just the other day I felt the heated looks and these are from the guys I grew up with….not even the one I just say what up to. I see them trying to keep me in, but fuckers.....I’m coming out of you......

Young Mitch............

2008-11-10T18:19:00.003-05:00

Tonight I'm off to see my first Godson for the first time. It has been a few months since his birth and I have received enough flack for not seeing him yet, so spare me please. He is also my first nephew which makes it kinda cool. I am overly excited. I wonder how the trip is gonna affect me. I'm sure its gonna be a pleasant, enjoyable, spiritual trip.

Young Mitch.....can't wait to see ya!

-Your Godfather......that sounds so cool!

Intense.............

2008-11-07T15:53:00.008-05:00

I practice walking on my hands, so that I can eat her in a comfortable state. I lick the clit before I taste inside of her. She's alerted by my touch. I take a deep breathe, this time I'm doing 60. I really shouldn't hold my breath, but she's getting 60 of non-stop action. Shit I may even cum myself. It feels good to me when her thigh muscles start to tighten.....that's when I know I'm doing my shit. I peek or stare, never in between. I like to catch her in a natural state of ecstasy. I want all the ugly faces! I don't need that cute shit cause you know I'm watching. But the stare, now the stare is something serious. Cause while I'm watching you, you're watching me. And during the stare I'm going IN. I'm rubbing my hands up and down your legs......definitely adding to the sensation. I want you to wrap your legs around my head and then tighten that shit. I know you're about to cum when you start leaning up. You're grabbing my head as you cum closer. My dick is hard as hell. I can't even lay down anymore. I grab you by the waist and lift that ass into the air. It’s a privilege to have high ceilings. You give me this look like I better not drop ya ass. But I'm not staring, I continue eating. Dam you're getting loud.......wait...there's the face. Let me get my balance, you’re shaking like crazy. And you cum……..

I give you a second, but still keep you in the air. You don't say a word, but I can hear your breathing. I'm still hard, so when I lower you, I lower you at an angle. You're surprised by my entrance, but you like that I'm spontaneous. You stay in the air for a while.....floating and gyrating on my love stick. I close my eyes so that I can fly with you. We float on till I'm on top of you, and you're now grabbing the sheets. It has been your turn twice, but I'm thinking the thirds the charm. You lay on top of a pillow, so I now have the perfect angle. I'm happy to be back, and you seem pleased yourself. I don't want to close my eyes this time, so there is no floating. Its more like wrestling. Our bodies intertwine as the energy passes through and fro. The pace picks up, as does the volume. We are both beyond loud at this point. The scene is wild......I wish there were spectators. There's no way I'm gonna remember all of this. I want to bite her, but she bites me. I bite her back. She looks at me. We stare at each other for a minute......or 2. I lean in and kiss her lips, as if I'm kissing her G Spot. Its a soft, sexy, meaningful kiss. She retracts back to looking into my eyes, as I do her.....as I do her……….

Her.............

2008-11-06T13:09:00.006-05:00

I love the feminism of Her. Her soft skin, Her curves. I love Her emotional take on life. I love Her fashion. I love Her choice in men, but really just Her last one. I wonder how cool it would be to not know Her and then meet Her again to fall for Her again. And that's weird because I hate double work, but it would be so cool to have double Her. No better yet double the time with Her. Like 2 lifetimes with Her. That way I can tell Her I love Her more than me......and mean it. I don't want Her to want for anything, just remain wanted.

Her eyes talk to me when I look at them. They say look at Her.....and never stop. So I don't. And now I hate blinking, but I try not to use the word hate. I don't want any negative energy around Her. Her mother told me she'll kick my ass if I hurt Her daughter. I told Her that if Her daughter felt any pain then I would feel the same, and I didn't need 2 ass whippings in the same night. She smiled I smiled back.

I'd like to think that I met Her, at least I really really hope so. Life can be brighter with Her. Long slow days of Her under the sun. I miss........Her.........

Barack.............My President!

2008-11-05T12:58:00.013-05:00

There are few words known to my existence that can describe the emotions in me right now. Proud is an under-statement to what I feel to be considered a Black Man in America. Barack Obama you have done so so so so so so much to uplift us a people, as a country, and now the world. There is nothing in this world known to man that I cannot accomplish thanks to you. And not just me, you give me enough hope to believe in my peers, my block, my borough, my city. You give new meaning to being an American. It’s a weird feeling that I'm starting to sense now, I think it may be some pride for my country and its new leader.

I definitely sense some new feelings inside of me. Ya see (....Barack voice!) I definitely believe November 4th 2008 marked a day for change. And it came in the 11th hour, right before a new day was upon us. My name is still Taurean, but you aint never seen this Taurean. And I feel the same way about others too, because I know they believed in Barack the same way I believed in him. So when I hit up my boys, I'll know it’s them because they'll respond to their name, but I know I won't be speaking to the same guys. I expect my sister Tempestt to shock me with her new self. I expect my lil brother, who just got caught for smoking weed at 15 to understand that he has the potential to be the biggest tree in the forest and that weed was just too beneath him. I expect my peers and I to take Hip Hop to heights unimagined by any of us. I expect guys like Mickey and Theophilus to kill shit, because they were dope as fuck before so imagine them now.

I expect a lot out of us because Barack showed us that we can do it. You decide whatever “it” may be. There are so many times when we are taught or told to appreciate times of sacrifices or to search for strength in the light of a dark and negative situation, but this time is different. We get to draw hope and courage from the hopeful and courageous. When I think of Barack, I get excited because I know the world is the playground and we can play in whatever part we want.

And to those who are looking for the quick fix. The more ignorant, not hopeful, I only pray that one day you see more of yourself as worth more than what your mind permits. But as we continue, there will be little that we have in common. No need will be the thesis.....enough is said.

Barack, I thank you again. My people, I look forward to meeting you all again. Let's continue to make history.........

Boys........and.......Girls........

2008-11-03T19:22:00.002-05:00

My homegurl Patrice hipped me to the newly fresh blog Boys And Clothes . I’m definitely feeling the concept....life lessons for boys taught by girls is the mantra. And since I’m always interested in what crazy ideas the opposite sex comes up with, I’ll be checking in on the regular...lol.

Here’s a posting that caught my attention though. It’s titled “He Says, She Says”. It’s basically an interesting question posed by a guy that the ladies of B+C then answer. In this “He Says, She....” the guy expresses his urge to approach females in public, but is apprehensive due to not knowing how the ladies truly feel on the subject. One of the ladies answers by saying she does not want any guy, nice or not to approach her. She just isn’t into being “romantically approached by a stranger”. She continues, “How do I know this isn’t your only nice outfit?” Wow...!!!!? And “How do I know you aren’t some disgusting serial “bitch-bagger”?” Now I can agree with you wondering if I am a serial bitch-bagger....lol, but what if this is my only nice outfit? Shit we are in a recession! The second female response was a lil more constructive. She says if she displays a sign (IE. A smile, glancing, or even a stare), then it’s a go. But if your looks aren’t returned then KEEP AWAY!

I find this interesting because I can relate to Sport (the male subject who posed the question). You know females get approached and hounded all day by guys and even females too! Where does my approach lye in her day’s long list? Did homeboy on the train ruin it for the rest of us? I see her looking back, but you know how females are....? Dam she is gorgeous, but she probably got a man already. All of these thoughts run through our head, and for the decent guy, it just isn’t worth the disappointment, embarrassment, etc so we just don’t say anything. Now I know there are females out there who are like “Well just say something or how am I supposed to know if you don’t speak up?” But love it isn’t that easy. So females help us out a lil. We know you get harassed day in and day out, and we don’t want to be a part of that bombardment. But we just can’t let you go either. When I’m checking you out, I’m not thinking about laying you down. I’m looking at how you take care of yourself, so when we stand next to each other we compliment each other. And I only moved closer because your scent is intoxicating and I couldn’t help myself. I’m not an asshole nor a serial bitch-bagger. I’m a good dude who would love to have a good girl and being on this train or park or store or anywhere else has anything to do with it.

Is this just me? Share your piece!

Raye who.......Raye 6 Motherfucker!

2008-10-29T20:13:00.015-04:00

I placed up a posting titled "Last Night I Had Sex With a Rock Star" . The posting was inspired by a show I had went to the night before. It was Raye 6’s Birthday and she was performing. Theophilus London and Jesse Boykins III , two other incredible artists also performed. Mad I missed London’s performance…smh. But Raye comes on and literally blows me away. I meet her afterwards….caught her ass in the car bout to pull off.....lol. I tell her how incredible she was and I head home. I wake up the next day still thinking about her performance. She did her fucking thing. No show have I went to, and seen a female performer pull another female on stage and goooooo in! In front of her mother at that.....CRAZY!!!!

So the idea hits me that I have to write about this night and thus "Last Night I......." was born. I hit Raye via myspace and tell her I did a write-up on the show. She hits me back saying she’s loves it, and she wants me to recite the piece for her EPK. Hell yea! So last night we shot it in BK. F.A.M. Productions did the shooting. The scene was dope. Raye is a talented motherfucker. So stay tuned for the footage. And go check my girl out!

No need to ask her why she's happy........

2008-10-26T10:19:00.010-04:00

I died......my heart stopped beating. It reached its destiny. I now run on love.......with....... Known to you as her, but she does not know you. All is to me, as I am to her. We don't speak, we communicate. She understands my wants, there for she provides what I need. I fucked society, because there is no thing I would not do for her. And she understood, but I disagreed. We stand eye to eye only and always, unless we're laying down.......she likes being on top.

Sex is another steamy subject. We created a syllabus and we both teach the class, so there are no failures. I succeed when she succeeds. And the only thing she has to attempt doing is thinking. Everything else is flawless. She smiles when I think of her; no need to ask her why she's always happy. She's in a good space. Parked right on my soul and there's no alternate side of the street parking so she does not have to move in the morning. We can stay in late and do what she calls "boo-loving".

This little light of mine........

2008-10-24T12:49:00.017-04:00

I was just sent this pic. It is a pic of our next President....God Willing! There is so much to this great shot. It reminds us of the struggle that one must face, but also to not forget the light atop of the stairs. The scene of the shot is also cool. It looks like an inner-city school. I wish I knew who the photographer was. They definitely deserve love for this awesome piece of art.

November 4th.....Barack the Vote!

Energy is neither created nor destroyed.......

2008-10-22T18:40:00.005-04:00

Neither is information. It is simply transfered from one source to another.....

Albums are for fans. Singles are for newbies.

So, if you're nobody, and you're not live-based, focus on the single, that's all people want. Hook 'em with a few singles and you've suddenly got fans. Who want more. Does this mean a full-length, with fifteen tracks and seventy eight minutes of music? Probably not. After all, they've just come to know you. You don't want to get married after the first date. So, feed 'em three or four tracks. At an incredibly discounted price on iTunes if you must, a package price. Build slowly. And whenever you get a good-sized fan base, don't overload them all at once! Today's albums are incomprehensible. Too long, never mind too expensive. Better to put out three tracks five times a year than fifteen all at once. Not only do you maintain your buzz, your audience stays bonded, doesn't go on a hejira somewhere else, waiting years for your next opus, possibly forgetting you in the interim..

If you've already got a fan base, release that album if you must. But know that non-fans don't care. And, if they come to care via airplay, old wave media, they only want THE TRACK! If you learn of an act from a friend, you might want an album. But if you're dipping your toes, you don't want to get soaking wet!

As for keeping your tracks off iTunes... What are you about, money or a career? AC/DC is gonna sell a whopping number of albums at Wal-Mart, but they've got no buzz online at the iTunes Store, their album and its single tracks don't appear on the chart, never mind front page advertising. If you want to play an untelevised World Series, be my guest. But why play outside the stadium, by yourself. Some people would rather play basketball in Europe for more money, but most want the glory, and will stay here in the U.S.A. (Furthermore, the salary might be less, but the endorsements, the peripheral income, adds up.) You can reach those who truly care outside of iTunes, but the casual user, newbies, they're not gonna be affected, they're gonna be completely out of the loop, which is going to hurt you in the long run. iTunes is the Big Kahuna, why would you want to play outside its parameters?

So if you're making an album, don't think of world domination. Think of satiating your fans. If you must, include a catchy single for radio airplay. But it probably won't get airplay and will quite possibly alienate your core audience. If you're only about the core, don't sell out, feed your homies. But, if you want someone new, sell individual tracks online, allow people a taste. Better yet, give them a taste for free, just like dope dealers. If you're purveying really good shit, people will want more and will get hooked.
