We. Have. A WINNAH!

RuPaul's Drag Race - RuPaul - Logo: Fierce TV

Last night was the season 3 finale of RuPaul's Drag Race. To the surprise of no one Raja won as "The Next Drag Superstar". I already predicted this but it doesn't mean that I am ok with it. I feel that Raja totally bombed on the last challenge and if just judged on that challenge alone both her and Manila would have been in the bottom. And her runway look? WTF? That is not the look of a winner. It was not drag, it was simply a man putting on women's clothing. Maybe it's Raja's "style" of drag, but I thought being a drag queen was about the illusion of being a woman, that look provided no illusions to me. However; Raja has been bringing "it" the whole competition and has bought a new style of drag to the masses. As you should know Alexis was my favorite queen and I feel she should have at least been in the top 2. She absolutely aced the final challenge and looked great on the runway, she has a great personality, and she is the only one I would pay good money to see perform in a club. As far as Manila, well, she's cool. So that's it another season down and one less thing to watch on television (or really for me at work online) what ever will i do?

Soul II Soul FTW

You know when you just hear certain songs and you are just automatically transported to a certain age, a certain time, a certain spot? That's how I feel about Soul II Soul's music. The other day my mother, brother and I were all in the living room watching music videos and cracking jokes. Then all of a sudden "Keep on Moving" came on and we all let out a collective "OHHHHH". Then my mother started telling stories about where she was and what she was doing in the era this song was out. I automatically remember being 4 or 5 years old driving in the back of my parents Corsica, like I so clearly remember it, its freaky. That's good music for ya.

Metal Karaoke

If there was a karaoke night dedicated to strictly metal music I would sing this:

I don't remember when or where I first heard this song. I think it was on MTV (shocker!) early one morning and I was hooked. I think I then went to school and was talking about them and a day later a friend let me borrow a copy of Slipknot's self titled debut album which I promptly dubbed on a cassette tape. Remember those? In high school I always wanted to go to a Slipknot show but I always heard horror stories of their crazy early shows, like jumping into crowds throwing drums into the crowd, throwing poop? Yeah. However a few years ago when they came into the VA Beach Amp me and a few friends went to go see them. It was EPIC. Unfortunately Paul the bassist passed away last year and the future of the band seems to be at a standstill. But I would never forget those times of driving around with my friends doing hoodrat stuff and listening to Slipknot.LOL. Good times man, Good times.

Lately the "industry" has been going nuts for this kid Frank Ocean who is a part of the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA)collective. Aside from his OF brotherens he is the singer songwriter of the pack. In fact there is a term going around by the name of PBR&B which is R&B music for the hipster set, I personally think the term is quite genius. So a little while ago after a couple of weeks of people ranting and raving about this guy I decided to give his free album Nostalgia Ultra a listen. After a couple of spins I've decided its pretty good. Im not jumping up and down about it but there a few bangers up there and the kid can write the heck of a song i'll give him that much. My personal faves are "Lovecrimes", "There Will Be Tears" and my favorite song off the album "Dust" which is the jammie of the day. He accomplished his goal in getting peoples attention with this project, he definitely has mine. I am looking forward to he does next.

This is the main event! Are you ready!?

The time has come again children. This season of RuPaul's Drag Race is coming to an end. The finalist this season are interesting cause I feel anyone of them can take the crown! I still think the decision of naming Tyra last season was a huge mistake. Sure she is beautiful but to me she doesn't have the personality. So I am glad these three queens: Raja, Manila and Alexis are in the running for the title. Since the first challenge I think everyone who watches the show can agree that we all knew Raja was going to be in the finale. Her runway is always ALWAYS on point.

Alexis was lost in the shuffle at first but really started to shine during the Snatch Game and her hilarious portrayal of Alicia Keys. Since then she has been turning it out but has become frustrated with the judges' criticism of her wardrobe. She is personally my favorite queen she has such a fun personality.

I liked Manila a lot at first but then my feelings for have waned over the season. I don't know if it has to do with her being a part of the Heather's or what. But you can't deny that she too has a great personality and she is very visual and really puts her looks together well.
Whomever wins this season I will be happy all 3 of these ladies are very deserving. But I think we all know that Raja is going to take it home. I can't wait!

Miss Prada, You Are So Messy

A little while ago I featured a youtube personality by the name of Playboi Branden and his alter ego Miss Prada. Since then he shut down his previous youtube channel and started a new one. This video was on his other youtube channel and thankfully he re-uploaded it. This video and song is a hot mess, i love it. Be sure to check out the new youtube channel and all the messiness that ensues.

Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group (or as I like to call MyNeckMyBack Music Group) has become the next Young Money. Not only in the sense that they are signing pretty talented up and coming MC's but in the sense that they are signing everyone and their momma to the label. I'm actually signed to Maybach Music Group as a flute player, no joke. Anyways I am posting this video on because it has two of my favorite men on the track. DC Native, Mayback signee and sexay piece-o-chocolatey Wale and a hot red headed jewish dude who is like one of the whitest people on earth like borderline Rick Astley but he's still so cute, DA of Chester French, whom I love dearly. When I first heard this song I thought DA sounded so out of place on the track, but it grew on me. Thus leading to me posting this video. G'day.
