| Yes... it's been a long time since I last wrote a blog, but for some reason or another I felt compelled to write one today. So here goes... What's been happening with me... you ask yourself. Well, basically it boils down to this: 1) I'm alive... broke, but alive. 2) I truly do believe in God and what He wants to do with my life. And though I know this, I still fall down... knowingly fall down. In return, I block my blessings. I'm really tired to doing this to myself. Honestly. I continue to fight to do the right thing. But "why everything that's supposed to be bad make me feel so good?" © Kanye West At this point, I'm willingly making a stand for myself and what's left of my sanity. I can't keep doing this to myself knowingly. 3) THE CHAMPS ARE BACK!!! GO COLTS! 4) Talib Kweli's new album has restored my faith in hip-hop as artistry... for the moment. It's only for the moment because... 5) Soulja Boy has taken over the world. This is a sad state of affairs people. It doesn't matter that I knew about the song and dance earlier this year and I told you it would happen... the fact that it's happening is troubling. I feel like Uncle Ruckus on the Boondocks, "We must hate thyselves to SAVE thyselves." 6) Speaking of the Boondocks, season 2 is supposed to start next month. I hope they don't push it back again. I need some more great ignorance with a cause. I mean really... who else would come up with a character named "Thugnificent"? Only Mr. McGruder and the Boondocks people. Support this show!

| A little over a month ago, I had a blog explaining the "comeupance" of 3rd Flo aka Dem Heizman Boyz... which you can see here. Basically, I said I should be the A&R for ignorant music because, well, I kinda have a good feel for it. So... a lil' while ago, I came across this joint called "Crank Dat" by an artist from ATL named Solja Boy. Now, I was sittin' on it because I had a feeling it would blow up but the buzz wasn't there just yet. So... lo and behold, yesterday happens. I go back to youtube just to check to progress of the Solja Boy movement and I see pages upon pages of youngins crankin' dat Solja Boy. It now has enough legs to really make a push... unfortunately. So... to catch you up, this is the dance and the song. This is Solja Boy, Jibbs, and friends showin' us the "Solja Boy" and more delicious ignorance. And... this is quite possibly the best production EVER! Winnie The Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore 'n dem crankin' dat "Solja Boy". So when you listen to this, try to understand what he's saying... 'cause buddy, I can't. He ain't talkin' 'bout a damn thang. But, in today's hip-hop, all you need is a dance, a gimmick. This is buddy's gimmick. Again, I can't hate on him... get ya money my guy. I'm just sayin' how many "gimmicks" are left? Honestly, you really don't want to know. Because I found some more gimmicks. On the next edition of "Nilla: A&R of Ignorance", I will learn ya how to "crank dat roosevelt" and "crank dat jump rope". No. Seriously. | | |

| a few years ago, situations like the one i'm living through now would've been handled so erroneously. it takes a lot of growing up and going through the spectrum of emotions and experiences to deal with this the way i'm dealing with it right now. i hold no animosity... no remorse... no contempt... nothing negative at all in my heart. nothing but forgiveness. nothing but hope. nothing but love. and the great part is i know it's not me. it's Him. it's one of the few times that in my life that really see the God in me. that's why i'm so encouraged right now... so hopeful... so positive about what's about to happen in my life. despite all the chaos that i've put myself and others through (and others have put me through), i'm at peace. i can't tell you what having His peace is like. it's extremely hard to describe. i just know that i've grabbed it... and i'll be damned if i'm letting go of it anytime soon. | | |
