This kid that I work with Damien comes into work after me on sunday mornings and always goes "Dude have you seen?!..." and its always Effed up Ess on youtube. So last weekend he comes in and shows me the video I'm about to post. You know monkey's are our cousins and the only thing that differentiates them from us is an opposable thumb. I never really tried to comprehend how similar humans are to them, but after seeing this video I now know the gap between them and the human man are closing more and more everyday. Human men have fleshlights, monkeys have frogs. Tomato ToMATO.
AAAAANNNND here's a closeup

Gurl this my JAM
A few days ago I decided on a whim to download Wale's current mixtape More About Nothing the sequel to Mixtape About Nothing and I'm glad I did. I mean I was never a super Wale fan, I appreciate his talent as an MC (and I think he's a cutie) but musically he didn't really hook me, until now. My jammie right now is his take on Sam Sparro's (who is like my new favorite person) "Black and Gold". But the mixtape as a whole is a really well put together project with dope tracks and Wale's fantastic wordsmithyness (yes that's a word) so here is Wale's "Black and Gold"

Youtube Hero: Red
So one day I was making my usual blog rounds and while on Missinfo.tv this post caught my attention. It has nothing to do with the Cam'ron ft Snoop Dogg song, honestly I could care less. It was the backstory to the hook of the song. It was taken from a youtube video upload of this homeless guy by the name of Red behind a clothing store. I've seriously listened to this song at least 6 times in a row. I guess the people whom he was performing for was trying to help him get put on. From what I can tell this dude is super talented. I really hope they find him and he can put a project together.

Current fav songs
I, as I am sure many people go through phases or cycles where they have a few choice songs playing in their head, car stereo, cd players (yeah they still exist) and mp3 players on a constant basis. You play them till you get sick of them, then you go through a drab period where you hate everything on your iPod(or whatever), then another cycle of songs tickle your fancy. As of now these are my faves.
Up first is a track from M.I.A.'s new album Maya. Now there is a story as to how I obtained this CD its quite a long one. At the beginning of the summer my mother and I planned a trip to NYC. It turned out the same weekend she wanted to up HARD NYC was also happening that weekend. HARD consisted of a lot of artist including: Ninjasonik, Theophilus London and Rye Rye among others. And the festival was being headlined by none other than M.I.A. So the thing was I was not able to afford tickets for my brother and myself to go but my mother assured me that she was able to get them for us. However; I was looking for a miracle to get these tickets. One day I was over at Dr. Jays website and there was this contest to win tickets to HARD NYC. Low and behold I actually win them, I never win anything. But before actually finding out that I won the tickets our trip was canceled due to the common disease ourfundsarelow. So the good people over at Dr Jays was supposed to send me the tickets and I was going to give them to my cousin Rachahd whom lives in NY. Oddly enough I never got the tickets. Cut to 2 weeks ago I get a package in the mail from them with a copy of M.I.A.'s new album. Pretty cool. In the end it all kind of worked itself out. Now since the release of the album critics have not been very kind to it, but as a huge M.I.A. fan I chose not to pay attention to it. My initial response to the album was, much like the critics not very favorable. To me the music was very distorted and the songs didnt have any real structure to it. But over time it has grown on me. So bringing me to one of my favorite tracks on the album, and one of my favorite songs right now here is "Tell Me Why"
Up next is a track from Cee Lo Green's Stray Bullets mixtape that came out a few weeks ago. This song is called "ChamPain". Cee Lo is just awesome.
During the summer I work at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater as a "production runner" where you run around in the heat for countless hours running errands for the different tours that come through the venue. A few weeks ago I got to work the Rockstar Mayhem Festival which is a traveling metal tour. This year the headliner was Korn which I was VERY excited about. I got to see a majority of the show albeit from a crappy spot, but hey I can't complain. I've loved Korn for many years and the chance to see them was like a teenage dream come true and it also kicked up how much I loved them. So I've been listening to them a lot lately and one of my current faves is "Throw Me Away" from their See You on the Other Side album.
That's all for now, sure there are other songs that I listen to but these are like my top choices for the moment. So yeah end of blog post. Run along now.

Happy Birthday To...
My brother Tyrone. He was born on this day 22 years, and my life has been a living hell ever since JUST KIDDING! No really I hate to say this but my brother is like my best friend. People always talk about how we get along so well. I may be hard on him, but it's for his own good, I mean come on I'm the big sister. And whatever happens in your future I hope that you are successful, just remember, you can always come back home; where I will force you to make koolaid! (he makes really good koolaid) So earlier in the evening on the eve of his bornday we went to this exclusive restaurant where all the ballers go....Applebee's. Later that night we went out to Norfolk to the Wave. My homeboys Frontside aka Teleport Team was performing. Long story short the Wave effed them in the A, which makes sense since it's a gay bar. None the less we all had a good time and it's always good to see my boys. So here are some pictures from a celebration of life.

Happy Birthday To...
Edward Norton. Seriously the smartest, sexiest, hottest man on earth. Seriously. Edward Norton is my favorite actor. I've watched some sh!tty movies just because he was in them (i.e. keep the faith and the hulk) and who else is still hot while playing a white supremacist who killed black people? Edward effing Norton.Who else can handle chicks like Courtney Love and Salma Hayek. Edward Effing Norton. Happy Birthday Ed. I love you.

Download This
I dont know how I missed this news,maybe due to the fact that I didnt have internet for a couple of days. Man the things you miss without the interweb. I would like to preface this with a small rant about how much I love Cee-lo, here it goes. I LOVE CEE-LO! The end. Miss Info and her commenter's share the exact same sentiment. This man can really do no wrong. Of all the slop of sh!t we have on this planet. It's good to know that the big man up in the sky has graced us all with Cee-lo's presence. Seriously. So Cee-Lo Green is The Lady Killer is his upcoming album. It's continuing on his "Cee-Lo Green Is..." series. It will be his third solo album. (BTW I have both of his solo albums, just thought I'd share) I just downloaded this myself and am very anxious to get off work and have the audio frequencies dance in my ears. Although I have not heard it, I can guarantee it's the good sh!t. Download the Cee-Lo Green Stray Bullets Mixtape!
I leave you with a new Cee-Lo jammie which is a Band of Horses cover, I never heard the original, and now I don't really want to cause this cover does me just fine (but im quite sure the original is just as good, Band of Horses is pretty cool from what i've heard). This is "No One's Gonna Love You"
