It's awfully weird how in life both men and women are chasing the same thing, a stable future and a companion to share it with. After turning 15 I'm sure the latter one dominates most men and women's thoughts. "finding a companion" is a silent undertone that exist at all times in life. It often dictates your attire, decisions to go out & daily conversations. <3

That did happen

2009-10-06T20:32:00.000-07:00

A girl I've known since high school that's been trying to reconnect with me and have lunch. So today she was in town and we made a plan to chill aka lunch shit. So I've been thinking that this was gonna be a Post high school hook up thing :D But like all things it took a turn for then worst when I Textd her after working out. She had sent me two previous ones saying she had reached town. So i replied only to hear she was at the community cOllege. So I was kind of pissed on some WTF type shit. I make another plan with her for later and I let it sit. I play ball this point I realize no one is gonna hang out. So I fire off a text shot like a dickish one but not really. Anyways she goes ghost and I text her MUCH later only to find out that comment pissed her the f••• off. So I ruined a phshu and lost a friend fuck it. Lessoned learned.

Football Sunday would be ten times more enjoyable if I didn't live with my fucking parents. For one beer would DEFINATELY be included and two it would be a nice peacful/lazy day. Being 21& NOT being able to bring beer home to chill is such a downer similar to a pot head coming home to shake in the bag.
Enough withthe bickering though the Fins finally rep'd 305 today. Ronnie has been a beast these last 4 games. I'm glad because his potiental is right there you can see it in every play. Ricky clearly still has juice and its almost sad cause this guy was the shit until he decided he just wanted to smoke weed all day. I'll alwAys love him though simply cause of the season he single handedly carried us to the playoffs. It's gonna be said when he retires next year. Alright I'm out gotta work at midnight ya.... FML

While you were out...

2009-10-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

Where am I at in life...a question I frequently ask myself. As my friends prepare to finish school and make plans for their next step I sit in this house or at that register slaving. All I can do is wonder how I got to this point. It really is a shame my procrastination and refusal to grow up has set me back dramatically. I need to change a few things in my life but it's so hard to give up bad habits. It's like a guy giving up porn it's nearly impossible. This is probably the most difficult place I've been as a person. I will come out on top though because great pressure produces diamonds. The transformation that I'll under go will be awful for others though. I'm gonna turn my life into a wAsteland because I'll be so locked in and ready to kill and cut fat on sight.

I*m Already Home..Pt. 2

2009-09-02T16:25:00.000-07:00

As promised here is part 2 of my anaylsis of Jay's 7 leaked songs.

9. A Star Is Born feat. J. Cole - This track is a bridging of the generations from old to new. Jay basically gives J. Cole the torch on this track aka his blessing. Hopefully J. Cole can flourish more like Ye did and not like Bleek. In my opinion this should have been the Drake feature but I doubt Jay truly believes in him. Or Jay just wanted to give his Roc Nation member, J. Cole, the shine he deserves. Kanye & No I.D. cut this track for Jay. An average track in my opinion.

11. Already Home feat Kid Cudi - Without a doubt this is my FAVORITE joint of Hov's BP3. Kid Cudi lays the hook down and nails it. Along with Pharrell (haven't heard P's track) Cudi always brings it when he lays down a hook (see: Make Em' Say). Jay talks about how he is already home on this track basically saying he already made it. No matter what fellow rappers, media or avergae fans say Jay lets you know on this track that he is the man and the best still in it. Kanye made this beat and like the rest of the tracks he gave Jay there all bangers. Sidenote: Can't wait for Cudi's first album.

12. Hate feat. Kanye West - Kanye both rapped and produced this track which is alittle unfair because I feel like it gives him insight on how to rap on the beat. Hov switches up his flow to fit in and does it without a problem

I*m Already Home.

2009-09-02T07:01:00.000-07:00

Just like that! When you least expected it Jay-Z swoops in and shows you that he still is number one. After 13 years Jay-Z has probably become accustomed to just poppin up and effortlessly making people realize he is still the best Emcee we have right now. So on monday when Hov's new cd leaked he did what he has been known to do, and thats slap people up so that they recognize once again that he is still the king of this rap shit. Everyone was skeptical at first because 3 Timberland tracks (Off That, Reminder & Venus Vs. Mars) leaked and they were all highly disappointing. This concerned most of Jay's fans. But then monday rolled around, bangers leaked and everyone was more than glad to see Jay hadn't lost his skill. Everyone needs to buy the Jigga man's cd when it comes out 9/11. So i wont be bootlegging this cd. I did however listen to the leaked joints and they are all pretty impressive. Here is my review on them...

12 tracks leaked But I'm only gonna do 7 discluding the 3 timbo tracks, DOA & Run this Town. I'll start off with the first 3 then review the last 4 later.

2. Thank You - This cut was produced by Kanye West & NO I.D. Jay thanks the haters for hating. The chorus is a little lackluster but the rhymes are on point. He has a crazy last verse with a 9/11 metaphor aimed at some rappers who failed all by themselves without his help. Possibly directed at Jim Jones or the Game. I'd give this track 2 Roc signs, still very good but middle of the pack of the 7 new leaks.

5. Empire State of Mind feat. Alicia Keyes - The drums on this track are nice a very light one with Alicia Keyes gracing the chorus. Sounds like a soul filled joint horns and drums hit hard. Keyes hits the high note the whole song its kind of different from how you usually hear her sing. But this is a perfect blend between the both of them. Track was done by Al Shux who also did "Hi-Definition" on Lupe's The Cool. This song is basically a NY anthem song. Seems like Jay always saves his best verse for last. In the third verse he talks about a girl who moves to New York and turns into a New York bust down. But Hov's lyrics and story telling ability make it sounds so much more troubling. Definatley a banger, New Yorker's are gonna lose their shit when he plays this one in concert. 2 and a half roc signs.

6. Real as It Gets feat Young Jezzy - This is probably my second favorite of the seven. Jay-z has Young Jezzy help him with this track. Intially this sounds like a beat that was made just for Jezzy. But if Jay heard it and immediately thought of Young Jezzy that'd be crazy. It was produced by the Incredibles, it is another up beat soulful laced track. Hov puts it on cruise control this song he was still better than most but didn't say anything to spectacular. But lines like "i'm the audio equivalent of braille, thats what they feel me in brazil and waterhouse cause real recognize real" makes you wonder wether he was on CC. Jezzy held his own like usual, he does a couple verses and laces the chorus. A sick track, 3 roc signs for sure.

This girl.

Jonna is a cast mate on the "Real World: Cancun" she is a fucking skabeatle probably one of the prettiest girls they have ever casted it might just be because she is a mixed chick. She kind of slut'd it out recently by going for a three some with two of the castmates. This happens though when your 20 and put on Tv haha. Regardless though she could get it no problems asked.

Forever.

2009-08-27T06:22:00.000-07:00

If your an avid hip hop follower like I am you have probably heard and listened to "Forever" a mash up of all the superstar rappers. It includes the newcomer of the game (drake), the guy who has been on a tear (kanye), the hibernating beast (eminem) & the guy on an epic decline (weezy wee). Despite the NahRight comment gods calling this song trash I feel like its a classic. Drake spits a ridiculous hook while everyone seems to come correct that is except weezy. Guys been on a steady decline everything since the beginning of that The Rock album he was supposed to put out has been fucking trash and keeps getting worse. Hopefully he can hop into a time machine or some shit and bring back 2007 weezy. Here is the song and you can be the judge.

In My Opinion.... Em got all of them while drake & yezzy tied for 2nd & 3rd. Weezy came in 8th place. yeah i know how the fuck did he manage that.

THIS...

2009-08-20T22:03:00.000-07:00

damn.

Straight out of high school in 2006 I opted to go straight to University. At the time it seemed like the right idea but there were obvious signs I displayed that showed I wasn't ready for the next step. That one year of university was well worth it though helped me understand my limits, what it wakes to succed and how much alchohol I require till I throw up. My grades though during these times were below avergae I finished the year with 1.83 Gpa, lost my state scholarship and shamed my parents.

So summer 2007 I found myself back at square one sitting in the same room I had just breifly left. Those first few months were excruciating no late nights or 7 day drinking binges. I came back to a boring time so I had nothing to do anymore all my friends were out of town I felt almost like armgeddon had happeend and I was the only one living. Since the day I graduated high school felt like I had been swimming in a shit stream every decsion I made seemed to be a bad one. The worse was seeing friends and parents who knew I had life and switching up my story everytime as to what happened at Fsu and why I was back home. Not fun.

Right now I'm at another f'd up situation. Just finished up my AA and I am trying to get back to University but I finished up my classes in summer A and they dont post that until AFTER summer C so I have to wait and try my best to get everything connected. If everything goes according I'll have to move into an apartment, register for classes, Get my loan all by next monday. I doubt it will happen but I might as well try. SUcks big time.

Jay Elec.

You should check this dude out. That is if your tired of guns, hoes & cash rhymes. Mr. Electronica definately brings a different element to the game. Conscious Hip-Hop is how you could label this type of sound. Nonetheless it is extremely dope and deserves your ear.

& welcome to &tbgo.
expect more.
