You are now watching a master at work *special comedy edition* :Rest In Peace Rasheed Thurmond



OK...so I remember the first time I seen Rasheed Thurmond, was on the Bad Boys of Comedy show, and I had tears in my eyes, he was sooooo funny...and I'm super late with this, but i read that he died from a heart attack, or something of that nature back in November 07'... He was a talented young man, who perfected his craft at a young age, He repped his hometown Brooklyn to the fullest, and he always delivered... Ladies and Gentlemen, if you haven't had the pleasure to see his work, you're in for a treat...you are now watching a True Master at Work: Rasheed Thurmond.... Rest in Peace

Introducing...the Team aka Voltron


Everytime I'm "having a meeting" or "hangin out" or "at the studio" I'm probably with one of these people or all of them...
We've been working on my project, along with other things, or just enjoying each others company...I love these guys...they feed me...Lol... There is:

Esteban: MTV editor/ idependent film producer and director/ part time Craig David impersonator...lol all jokes aside, this guy is one of the main reasons why I'm doing music, he knows how to insult me and praise me in the same breath...mostly insult lol..but its all love... click here to check one of Esteban's vids... www.myspace.com/thafuturistic

Kat: Singer/songrwriter/ co-owner of idependent film production company/ "Super Mommy"... Kat is one of the coolest people on the planet, she's super duper extra caring...and most importantly, she's the only one who gives me comp in Wii Tennis... (just admit it) her + esteban= coolest married couple ever... www.myspace.com/loveandlivinglife

Dilemma: Producer... I met this young man through Esteban like 5 years ago... We started recording songs and performing and doing a lot, then after a while I saved up for an Mpc...and this guy showed me how to use it, and that started my own producing from then on...which helped take my own songwriting to the next level... He has placements already and God willing has many more to come.... you can see a music vid that he produced the music for by clicking here
www.myspace.com/dilemma123

YaYa: I'm the annoying guy that comes around and tries to be down... I make music and occasionally practice the ancient art of "Douchebag-ism"... be on the look out for shananagons and antics.... www.myspace.com/yayagreatmusic

Us Placers Video w/*kids*

I always loved this idependent video... Shout out to all the idependent movie/tv/ and music video directors doing your own thing...

hip hop strip down pt.ONE...NAS "we will survive"

In this section I will be taking hip hop songs and finding the original samples.... I love doing this, because the "new" record sometimes sounds nothing like the record, which is crazy, you have to have a good ear for stuff like that, them some others are just a no brainer, like "through the wire"....this one is pretty simple, but still one of my favorites.....

Kenny Loggins "This is it"


Nas "We will Survive"

New Blog...

www.yayawishes.blogspot.com
The link is to the right under... my links




Fair & UnFair vol.ONE

Now....I have a question.....and this includes me too....Everyone wants an attractive spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband etc... but no one really wants to match how they look...correct..... This goes mostly for dudes, but ladies too... if you want a cleancut looking girlfriend, shouldn't you be clean cut yourself? If you want a girl with a bangin body...shouldn't you have one to give her? and it can go on and on and on.... Don't you think thats fair? Do you ever see a dude saying "she better have a big ass, titties, and a small waiste, long hair...", but he looks like BIG BLACK from MTV. Now i don't say sh#@ like that, but for some reason I've walked my way into some pretty attractive women, God knows how, and I'm far from being up to par or comfortable with myself. I guess most people don't give a damn, as long as they have their trophy/eyecandy on their arm, then thats enough. Cool, your woman/man likes you for you, but wouldn't it be that much more fun, exciting, sexual if you looked just as good as they do? I haven't cared for the longest about stuff like this... but inspiration can come from actually finding someone that you really care about, and they look great... So, Its time to become the eye candy, instead of just looking at it.....OK PEOPLE!!
by the way
doesn't go with

Ladies and Gentlemen....Estelle: You are now watching a master at work pt.3

So.... I'm a little late with this one, since the show was a cool week and a half ago... but the Estelle concert was rediculous....The only song i heard was American boy when i walked into the TLA...when i walked out, i was surprised to hear what i did... First off, there's a lot of people claiming they sing and Rap..(Tyrese...terrible) but usually are only good at one....Nahhh this girl can SANG and RAP..she did a song called "Shine" and oh boy was I joe*... she's so dope...besides the fact that a lot of people couldn't understand her accent, everything was on point... John Legend was the host of the evening and also blessed us with two songs that he sang with Estelle... Later on that night, some friends and i went to "the dish" which is a restaurant that is around the corner from the TLA, on 3rd street...and John Legend and his entourage walked in...then walked out lol.. so i'm telling people we ate with him... he's such a little tyke (ruffles his hair) anyway... it was fun...and I want everyone to buy Estelle's album "SHINE" coming out April 29th.... Peace

one of my Favorite Songs and one of my fav Movies COMBINED!!!

Finding Forrester....Classic Movie... Rylynn by Andy Mckee....Genius,one of the best original peices ever.... I put them together, because Finding Forrester has such a good plot, plus the trailor was so good...and Rylynn is such an emotional song that I wanted to show that it can be put to any movie trailor and make it "make sense" i think its a perfect match.... so here's what you do...

1. Turn the volume down all the way on this video, then go to the next one below...



2.Now, press play on this video below then immediately go back up to the first video and press play... then watch...


I know... I know... your welcome...

I was in line for this show...AND NEVER GOT IN! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

YO! I was in line for this Janelle Monae show a few weeks ago...and for certain reasons I ended up not seeing the show...I'm so swole, because i seen a bunch of footage, and it looked crazy...i'll catch her next time.... this vid is from the same night, and it made me that much more jealous, but its all good... support her cause she's dope...

The Most Underrated M.C. of all Time.............Busta Rhymes

Ladies and gentlemen...Busta Rhymes is THE MOST underrated artist of my time... Is he famous? yes... does he have money? yes... Does he have fans? absolutely...BUT!!!!!! To me...its not enough... these are the reasons why i say this

1. Has been dropping solo albums since 94' and still going strong
2. Never lost his skills, gets better everytime he drops a new record
3. Adjusts with the changes in hiphop/and stays relevant, but never compromises his true style of good rhmyes and concepts
4. ALWAYS DROPS HOT SINGLES (the days of the hot singles are gone)
5. He always comes out with innovative and creative ideas and songs/music videos....
6. He's just plain sick....

Now....a lot of artist who are still around Jay, Nas, and many others, that i love, have way more celebrated careers, but dont possess all of these strengths like Bust does..


to prove my theory..listen to his newest song....I FLIPPED WHEN I HEARD THIS!!!!!!Don't Touch Me

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words According to YaYa: Us Again...Holloween..


JACKED HIM FOR HIS GUN!!!!!! Big Bird is a THUG!!! and tell me that that zoro/cowboy outfit isn't F'ing hilarious (DJ Supa-left) (YaYa-right)

Favorite HipHop Verses of ALL TIME: VOL UNO

Pink**my favorite line**
(last verse on Theives in the night) Blackstar Album

[Mos Def]
Yo, I'm sure that everbody out listenin agree
That everything you see ain't really how it be
A lot of jokers out runnin in place, chasin the style
Be a lot goin on beneath the empty smile
Most cats in my area be lovin the hysteria
Synthesized surface conceals the interior
America, land of opportunity, mirages and camoflauges
More than usually -- speakin loudly, sayin nothin
You confusin me, you losin me
Your game is twisted, want me enlisted -- in your usary
Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly
Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception
Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass
Walkin the street, wonderin who they be lookin past
Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on
Stars shine bright, but the light -- rarely stays on
Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
Put you on a yacht but they won't call it a slaveship
Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this
Screamin brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit
Suppose it's, just another clever Jedi mind trick
That they been runnin across stars through all the time with
I find it's distressin, there's never no in-between
We either niggaz or KingsWe either bitches or Queens
The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse
Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts
Long barrel automatics released in short bursts
The length of black life is treated with short worth
Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary
That type of illin that be fillin up the cemetary
This life is temporary but the soul is eternal
Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you
Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed
That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
Not free, we only licensed
Not live, we just excitin
Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin
Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game
Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey
most of the things that we think, do, or say
We chasin after death just to call ourselves brave
But everyday, next man meet with the grave
I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy
I'm tryin to live life in the sight of God's memoryLike that y'all

This VERSE TURNED ME OUT!!!!! until next rhyme....(that was wack) :)

First Lesson on "Internet NO NO's" I hate this...


(these are all reenactments...aren't word for word...but not exaggerated)

1. msg: "yo yah...I've been trying to get a hold of you man...what the HELL....now i'm gettin upset! We suppose to be cool and you do me like this...
note: if we were so tight, why don't you have my cell number???

2. friend request by someone who hates me and talks isht about me: "How you been man, i'm feeling your music man...keep doing your thing."
not: CORNY...leave me alone....

3. wall comment: (something mushy and joe that tries to let everyone think we're close like) "hey yah I miss you blah blah blah, ever since that time you and i blah blah blah"
note: stop trying to put me on blast that i hung out with you, plus it was maaad long ago.... so wackadocious!!!! plus those get deleted, unless i like you....

4. last but not least... Pictures: Stop!!Stop STOP!! posting pictures of you smoking weed, holding guns, and especially ESPECIALLY!!!! holding money or spreading money all over your bed........
note: thats just a tacky thing that only a broke person would do.... :)

YaYa's 5th,6th,and 7th Theory on Why we're in the future....in picture

1. Its REALLY REALLY COOL TO BE BLACK (we can't have nothing)

2. The Slow and Painful Death of the Compact Disk

3. This guy is going to be our next President (no wonder its cool to be black)

One of my favorite Albums EVER!!! vol.1: Sticky Fingaz,Black Trash:The Autobiography of Kirk Jones


This is by far one of the greatest albums I've ever heard in my life.....not "hiphop"....albums period... Sticky fingaz is genius for putting this much thought into an entire album...This takes concept records to a whole new level....This came out about 2001, and made NO noise, but was still a masterpeice and inspiration to me... The whole album was a story about a young reckless convict named Kirk Jones who gets out of jail and returns to the ghetto on the first track..From then on, he gets himself into all kinds of situations, that gets his friend killed, in front of a grand jury, and anything else you can think of... Back and forth Dialogue and everything on every track....Like Carmen a hiphopera times 100 ... genius........ go order it or something please.... features from Eminem,Raekwon, and many more...Production is GREAT!!!.... here's a sample off the album, called "Baby Brother" where Kirk Jones' big brother is telling him to grow up over the phone...

hungry???

I still think this is funny...

Life on the Road Episode two...commercial #1

Its coming back... next episode... Hampton University...

Ladies and Gentlemen....BlackMilk! You are now watching a master at work..pt.2

No one can replace a great artist who has passed away...one...because their timeless music is....well timeless...and plus you can't replace legends...BUT, I must say, I've been listening to this guy from a far..and i must say BLACKMILK... is the new JDilla(rest in peace)... thats unfair for me to say..but damn...this niggas beats are soulful, he chops samples similar to him, he's from Detroit, he raps & produces, and those bass lines....its like Dilla reincarnated... he's dope and I need to share him with everyone... you are now watching a master at work...

still in love???

new song, in the works, Luther sample....he sings "still in love.." so i guess i'll call it that..

If this was a diffent world, I would've chose Kinue/
Instead of Whitley sitting with me/
Just nagging, Dawayne Dawayne/
with a funny accent like Dana Dane/
don't fuss, girl i just, wanna' change the game/
and this road's getting old so i'm changing lanes/
and its just a shame...talking bout my lust for fame/
but like Jay, i don't mess with Dames......career first/
picture perfect? girl adjust the frame/
you about as smooth as a rusted chain/
and its funny, how after the name exchange/
she wanted to quickly exchage her name/
so she told me that her last one is mine/
i'm thinking, dame this girl is out of her mind/
now she's asking if I'm..................still in love???
NOPE..
