For some reason i can't fall alseep...maybe because its the fact that i have to wake and do stuff i don't feel like doin to get by. Theres a difference between someone living and surviving...people who are living are calling their own shots in life...making major moves...people who are just surviving are not getting the full enjoyment out of life...so with that being said fuck surviving i wanna LIVE

Debate 08
Well its that wonderful time in every four years...hearing politicians argue who should run the U.S. or try to rule the world...so far Obama and McCain are doing a better job than Bush and Kerry....you can clearly see these two men have similar goals (besides being president), but if you are watching it right now...you can see the contrast between the two presidential hopefuls.

Artist Spotlight: Nujabes
Nujabes also known as Jun Seba is a Japanese Hip-Hop producer and DJ. He got the name Nujabes from his first name (Jun) and last name (Seba) spelled backwards spelled backwards and combined...pretty dope if you ask me. He is 1/2 of the producing duo called "Urbanforest", an experimental collaboration with Nao Tokui. If you watch a lot of anime you have probably heard his music and not even know that it was him composing memorable scores in such anime films like, Samurai Champloo. He has released two albums Metaphorical Music in 2003 and Modal Soul in 2005. He has worked with huge artist in japan such as, Uyama Hiroto, Shing02, and Minmi. He also worked with American artist such as, CYNE, Apani B, Five Deez, Substantial, CL Smooth, and with British rapper Funky DL.
Outside of making great music, he is the owner of "T Records" and "Guinness Records" both located in Shibuya, Tokyo.
His music is known for a strong cool jazz and soul music influence, (jazz x hip hop) frequently using samples from artists like Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, and Yusef Lateef to create warm, mellow tracks. Nujabes rarely plays live and does not make many media appearances, which adds to his enigmatic charisma. His album covers are also very distinct, in particular abstract imagery.

50 disses Jay-Z?
"I’m the largest Hip-Hop touring artist. Em is the biggest rap artist on the planet and I’m the largest touring artist. Jay-Z doesn't have a lot of records that have really big international followings. For him to get out there and be the headliner, it was just good positioning on his team’s part. "
She thinks shes cool like her brother...lol
love you sis....sorry that i'm a busy person but i wanna take the time to show you that i think about ya sis

This song hits me hard
Intro]
Uhh, yeah, love
You know we always, we always talkin 'bout love
We always thinkin 'bout it y'know
I'm in love, I want love, I need love, whatever
But like sometimes I wonder
With all the hurt and pain that people that supposedly love you put you through
Is that really love?
[Phonte]
We would go to each other's houses, sleep on the flo'
Crash on each other's couches, work like kings and
eat like paupers, now my heart palpitates
just thinkin 'bout all the stress that came up out this
Started out hard, goin for the long haul
Put all of the bullshit and hoes on pause
Shit got major we, stacked a little paper now
Couple years later can't get a phone call
Hold up~! Big fish in a little pond
Swimmin 'round town, thinkin like we already stars
And they say that money change you, but money don't change you
It just make you more of what you already are
Hope our kids do better than we
Hope he and she learn to stick together when the times get ugly
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused
But my fam still swear that they love me man
[Chorus]
If this is love, I don't wanna see hate
If this is real, I don't wanna see fake - I'm sayin
Cause I don't know how much more I can take
I know that, all of y'all can relate - I'm sayin
Uhh, if this is love, I don't wanna see hate
If this is real, I don't wanna see fake
You know that ain't love love, that ain't love love
That ain't love love, that ain't love love
[Rapper Big Pooh]
You were the, right hand, my man 50 Grand
Us gettin dollars was all part of the plan
A few years back we cut ties, you understand
It was all business, nuttin person-al
And you vowed to come back a different person now
we are back on track, and time heals wounds
Nothin showed me you came back too soon
Yeah, once again you and I to the tune
We brought you on tour, put money in your first
You fucked up plenty and got slapped on the wrist
That's it! And everytime the brothers grand mack
The topic would arise about you bein capped
The Lord says forgive I will never forget
Shoulda picked up the phone when the times got ugly
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused
But my fam still swear that they love me man
Aww sheeit~!
[Chorus]
[Jozeemo]
I'ma rap for my niggaz, I figure that's what they all say
It's foul play when cuttin throats is your forte
Do it how you wanna be done, that's what the Lord say
Daps and hugs, but turn your back and get the swordplay
I'm sure you say I got it all wrong, it ain't like that
I sent you all them letters, guess it's better you ain't write back
Despite the fact you told me plenty tears you had to fight back
All lies, surprise, I ain't diss you with no spite track
I know you'd probably like that, but never will I hit your level
You gon' dig your own grave, focus when you grip the shovel
I should be pissed as ever, but I'm the bigger brother
So I'ma keep it movin while you get your shit together
Our bonds was severed, but all you had to say was fuck me
I smelled your bullshit, consider me lucky
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused
But my fam still swear that they love me - ain't that a bitch!
[Chorus]

I keep thinkin about this song
Project Roach by Nas
[Eban Thomas]
It is absolutely silly, and unproductive
to have a funeral for the word "nigger"
When the actions continue..
We need to have a movement to resurrect brothers, and sisters
Not a funeral for niggers
'cause niggers - DON'T DIE {*echoes*}
[Nas]
Uh, yeah..
Yo, I'm creepy and crawlin, in your sink and your toilet
I be drinkin from your spit, anything 'cause I'm all less
An insect with four legs; people come in, I fake dead
Correction: I got eight legs, climbin on top yo' plate, bed
Wherever I smell food, it could be even jail food
Stale food that's molded, a roach is what I am, fool
The ghetto is my land, fool, I'ma never be able to
fly like a bumblebee, try not, to be underneath
your sneaker, pitiful creature, I'm not afraid of
your pesticide or RAID 'cause, in heaven's my Creator
I love it when the light's off, eatin from same knives, forks
from, ANY man's dinner, see my antennas
You can't win, you can't stand the crunchy sound I make
if you squash me, learn to live with me
How much your Ross Motel costin? Yo, we in the city
But yo, we everywhere! Check your house good, I bet we there!
LOOK HEED!
[Eban Thomas]
Niggers are like roaches - they're never gonna go away
Learn from them what we should not become
'cause niggers - DON'T DIE {*echoes*}
I ain't pushing an agenda homie, just facts
It was a hot topic of 04' when Kanye West talked about conflict diamonds in his rhymes...but it seems like people forgot all about it after that. Maybe thats why i choose not to wear jewlery because i don't know what kind of genocide that i may be promoting in the war torn countries in Africa...so before you think about blinging and all....just think about the innocent children who lost their lives and limbs.

I will never forget 9/11
My condolence goes out for the families who lost their loved ones in biggest crime that has ever been committed on U.S. soil. For years the government has been giving the American people the run around about the TRUTH about 9/11...all I'm saying don't trust the mainstream media...do your own research about 9/11 and decide if I man who in a cave orchestrated the biggest act of terrorism or the if this is the governments plan to carry out new world order

Speaking of MMA
I met Maurcio 'Shogun' Rua he is a pretty cool guy...i asked him how his leg was, because he torn his ACL in his UFC debut fight against the eventual 205 champion Forrest Griffin...well he told me that his leg is %100 and he is ready to fight anyone in december...i'm looking forward to it
Also Shogun has notable wins over Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, Antonio Rogerio Nogueria, and Ricardo Arona
The Most Devistating KO of 08
UFC 88 main event bout was between two fighters in the ultra competitive 205lbs weight class. It was the 'The Iceman' Chuck Liddell going against Rashad 'Sugar' Evans. Both fighters came into this fight looking to move up the 205 ranks to get a title shot against the newly crowned champion Forrest Griffin.
A man who speaks from his soul
Kanye West performs "Love Lockdown" a single from his untitled upcoming album thats coming out in december. Anywho, Mr. West gave a compelling performance...see MTV...see what happens when you give a black man a chance...lol

A poem that i wrote a couple of years back
Reflection
A young man with a handsome face,feels out of place,not because of his age, class, or raceit is when he looks in the mirror,he starts to feel inferior,many people tells thats he is a handsome guy,but he thinks otherwise, no reason why,in his own mind he can not stand his own reflection,because all he sees is an imperfection...
