Rick Ross - Rich Forever (Review)

Monday, January 16, 2012  
With his second mixtape Rick Ross knocks the competition out with a 20 track opus that comes off more like a full album than a mixtape.

Released a lil' over a week ago, (it wasn't all good a week ago) it has already made trunks and iPods rattle all over the globe. Ross' album God Forgives I Don't, was supposed to be released on December 13th but due to Ross' ill health it was pushed back.

So to wet the appetite of fans he released the Rich Forever mixtape. He has also been previously praised for having the knack of choosing the perfect beats for his songs. Which is evident in this brilliant offering.

Filled to the brim with trap beats you won't easily touch the skip button on this offering. Rich Forever features high powered guest appearances from Nas, Drake, Pharrell, Kelly Rowland and P.Diddy. Production wise he enlisted a few newcomers and his trusty soundscape creators Lex Luger, Beat Billionaire and the Justice League.

The haunting STAY SCHEMIN' features a phenomenal verse from Drake, and shows that he can hang with the best out there and this verse should shut up his naysayers. Mind you all guest artists on here stepped up there game on here.

RING RING featuring Atlanta newcomer Future is a catchy tune that will make you head bob once aforementioned guest flips the hook. It's a track that has a little bit of a dancehall "ting" to it and I'm sure it will get a lot of play in the club.

One of the highlights on this tape is the Styles P assisted KEYS TO THE CRIB produced by The Inkredibles. There use of a choir type backgrounds and a oh so perfect snare makes for an, " in there like swimwear" beat. Almost eargasmic. 

The usual braggadocious lyrics is the norm here but Ross comes up with new ways to reinvent the wheel. It has been done before but his attention to detail and charismatic booming voice makes for very pleasant listen. 

Its gonna take a lot from Mr. Ross to top this with his upcoming album. That we just gonna have to wait and see. Continue Reading

The Fear Of The Unknown

Tuesday, January 10, 2012  
The fear of not knowing what is gonna happen next or what lurks over the next hill. The fear of waking up and not having that person next to you anymore. 

Its kind of terrifying starting this new year not knowing what you gonna do or where you want to go. The fact that as humans we can't predict or see the future is what increases the fear in us. The fear of the unknown.

Sometimes you would have a game plan that will make you feel comfortable about the future that you are venturing into. If you have a plan for the new year and a back up plan then the word fear should not even be in your dictionary. Its like going into the bush with a fully loaded AR-15. Knowing that nothing can stop you from your journey.

So you have a plan to run through this year and fear is not even an option, you ready to blast every single wall out your way to survive the new year.

What just happened? You had a plan. A plan to conquer your fear of the new year. So instead of sulking when things don't go your way this year, you go back to the drawing board and tweak your plan.

Fear is just an emotion. A wall that can broken down, brick by brick. Continue Reading

WHO WILL SAVE US?

Wednesday, December 14, 2011  
Who is gonna save you when comet Elenin hits?

Girls girls its all about them hey.

Why is that so? I had a perfect relationship a few months ago and for some time I thought I was gonna get married to her.

But low and behold I fucked up. Jay-z's "Blueprint 3" was in my player at the time. Songs like, "What they talking bout", "On to the next one" and "Star is born" was playing. At that time I thought I was invincible. But I messed up.

My love for the opposite sex is crazy. Currently I have affection for 100 girls ( I typed the number so that you can count). And yes they love me back, that is what makes it so complicated.

Last night I was with a girl that showed me that looks and age really doesn't matter. She made me realize that I am "The Man". So what I am the "Man". She was just there, looking oh so lovely while I was listening to Tech N9ne rapping about the devil etc.

So I'm a bit confused. Why you may ask. Why is it after being on this earth for 26 years am I still single? Is it because my feet smells or is it because I have armpit hairs that resemble a spider?

I am content though. Just last week my friend emailed me about a comet that will strike earth with so much force that would make sure the end of mankind. So I thought damn who will I go save? What girl would I go out and run like a Will Smith character and save? Answer: not a single girl. Reason being I have too many and I can't make my mind up.

Who should be the next Mrs. Goldstein? Who deserves a ride in the DB9? Who do I make breakfast for? Who is worthy of shaking her bootay for Mr. Goldstein?

I met a young lady few weeks ago and she is what I want in my life. She is young, sexy, intelligent and has a great personality. She makes me wanna live again. She is just like "wow". Yes I can go on and on about her but yes she is that amazing.

So if you are a guy, who are you gonna save? I would save Thalia, yes. But damn it would be a long walk to Elsies River. Seeing as the comet struck earth and flattened the green DB9. So the only option would be to walk, as my friend Andre don't want to part with he's Gary Fisher bmx frame.

So the DB9 is dead, bmx is out of the question though so what do I do? Walk? Yes I would walk to Thalia just to save her from vampires and little comet men invading earth. I think I can take them on seeing that I'm half jewish and bushman.
Most of my ex girlfriends never knew that I am jewish and would probably phone me as soon as they finished reading this. Why? You may ask? That I do not know myself but just mentioning them here is just an indication of my insanity and those damn little comet men.

I think that when these little comet men walk on earth we gonna have a big party. Dj Fresh will be playing and the Ciroc will be flowing. But I am thinking now does Thalia want to be saved? Who doesn't wanna be saved?

The mystery remains. Continue Reading

Lil Wayne -

Wednesday, December 07, 2011  
I have been listening and following Lil Wayne's career ever since he dropped his debut album, The Block is Hot.

I think at the time he could've only been 14 years old. That was in Cash Money Records hey day. Today they known as YMCMB. A worldwide brand that has generated millions of dollars of records sales.

Over the years Wayne has matured from a young gun from New Orleans to a worldwide phenomenon (read: pop)

His latest album, The Carter Four has just recently moved 2 million units in the US.

He recently took a different direction in his music when started dabbling in rock, with a rock album and a love ballad How to Love.
