one of my favorite movies now...

My new favorite MC/Producer: Jay Electronica

I've been hearing Jay's beats for a short while now appearing on some of my favorite artists albums, then I heard some of his solo records and really started to like him... Then when i heard a record called "Exhibit of a Transformation"... Pure genius... For a while my favorite MC's changed, I had an Eminem era >>> then Talib and Mos era >>> then for a while no one new came into play until Kanye West  >>> then Lupe Fiasco .... Now a few years later... Jay Electronica I think took that spot...This one record is that crazy to me... hip hop is not dead... There's underground hip hop artists and even major label label artists who are doing their thing, even making great money, but the devil (radio and tv) won't play their stuff.. at least right now.. we'll see how the future turns out. Shout out to good artists out there that need more shine and are creating good music:

Jay Electronica

Black Milk

Little Brother (not new, but still sick)

Janelle Monae

Nujabes 

Blu (& Exile)

Kid Cudi

Big Sean

and many more...

vote tomorrow... by the way this painting is dope

Kid Cudi: Day and Night...

I like this song a lot

Pharrell is the most influential icon in modern music

No one...and I mean no one...can mimic the neptunes sound, many try, but there's much more to it than just finding the same boards, presets, modules, and playing live. This song is that Pharrell was working on with Big Sean (Kanye's latest signee) is going to be crazy as cat sh**.... don't ask...

Pep talk with myself

trying to stay in a good mood while the whether kicks my ass every morning is a task, trying to stay in a good mood while I personally try to deal with things in my mind... trying to stay in a good mood around people who aren't... trying to stay in a good mood while thinking back on regrettable mistakes... trying to stay in a good mood while annoyances and naysayers are effectively agitating you... trying to stay in a good mood while physically feeling uncomfortable from day to day... trying to stay in a good mood trying to love and trust to your best abilities without any hesitations.... trying to stay in a good mood while trying to stay in a good mood is... HARD........... but ... the fact that you(I) still try... Shows that you'll never be taken out of that good mood or the road to it... happiness is only an arms length for me... I'm not fully there yet, but I can taste it...

know what you want without compromising your beliefs 

set goals (no matter how farfetched they may seem) and work towards them

know that life is short and every waking second can't be waisted 

love like you've never loved before... choose cautiously (the L word can fuck up everything if you let it(that's directed to misguided women)

love yourself... I don't... but I will... 

no one is more important than yourself...your family is important, but you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life... you might be in love, but can you love yourself... 

no one else can be a burden to you, but you...

Be creative, because once you lose your creativity, you lose your lively hood, then you lose your ambition to do anything to it's full capacity.. after your class, workshop, 9 to 5, date , or whatever, put aside at least a few minutes to be creative, or at least think or daydream creatively...Keep your drawings, doodles, poems, model space ships, puzzles, or paper cranes... put them away until the next brilliant moment you have, you can even keep it a secret...  

I was just on a roll typing my thoughts, just letting whoever know if this blog seems odd.... Peace love and all that chocolatey goodness.... (haven't said that in a while) - Yah2
