....time for a comeback?

i wouldn't call what i've been doing slacking.
i've been kind of just....living.
i had to catch some fresh air, folks.
but now i am back.
*exhales*

hello world.

NEW LUPE!!!

almost fainted when i saw this.

it is about damn time!

oh...let me compose myself.

*deep breath*

lupe fiasco has released a new track that appears to be the itunes bonus song for his HIGHLY ANTICIPATED new album Lasers. the song is entitled Solar Midnite. the best way to describe this [to hardcore Lupe fans] is Japanese Cartoon minus the accent. so...no complaints.

life is better

norah jones can do no wrong. i was listening to take off your cool before i ran into this video. that womanis extremely gifted with that voice.

this is a video for life is better from q-tip's the renaissance. lovely. i like that this video is in black and white. for more reason than you'd think.

i, sometimes, have trouble describing how beautiful i think something is. i blame my lack of an intricate vocabulary. but, i say this, because i can't quite put my finger on the best adjective to describe how dope i think this video is. if norah jones drew pictures with her voice, in my mind, this video is how those pictures would look.

did that make sense?

my thoughts as i watch the forever video for the first time.

-why is drake looking down? in fact...why is drake always looking away from the camera? is that an acting technique that i am unaware of?

-eminem + hoodie = creeptastic. every time.

-i would have like it better if they faded to pictures of what drake was saying [i.e., nino brown. finding nemo.] instead of pics of lebron. that just makes no sense...

-drake and ryan leslie are two artist who move their hands madd awkwardly while perfoming. and maybe kanye...

-aside from me liking this song as much as i do, this video is not very entertaining. so far.

-baby is 40-something. and he goes by the name "baby". sorry...random thought.

-"but what should i scream for? this is my themepark." ha! i like his expression after he said that.

-so....the white guy is the one who bring the goons with him? nice.

-drake looking like jigga man at the end of the video.

-my review? forever video is wack. the end.

how i got over trailer.

love this song since the first time i heard it on fallon [which i haven't watched in ages]. and i know the video will be just as dope as the song.

honestly? if bet and radio gives this song a chance, it will be loved. just like "i know i can" by nas was loved back in the day. it has that kind of appeal to it. and bet/black radio needs this! i mean drake and kanye and jay are doing their thing right now...but they aren't doing this.
