New Flava: Maac Cruiz x Live At The BBQ

Maac Cruiz and The 58 Mics Company has done it again youngins!!! “Live At The BBQ” is the first official mixtape dropped under The 58 Mics Company started by him and his manager Mike Lovehall. He didn’t want his listeners to wait any longer so he decided that July would be a great time to drop it.

I love how “Live At” comes off more like a poem than a song making the listener feel a more close connection with Maac’s words. I also enjoyed the old school instrumentals in “Nuttin but Our Swang” and “Mrs.Cheesecake”.

If you haven’t heard of Mr. Maac Cruiz, I urge you to check his music out. Whether you dig the music or not remember to always respect the hustle.

Here comes the brand new flava in ya ear!!!!

Quote Of The Day: Sista Souljah

20120715-011704.jpg

“Those that trust no one usually end up trusting the wrong person”

I love me some Sister Soulja and I plan on doing a post about how she has affected my life.

Our generation is so stuck on not trusting anyone till we forget that we obviously need someone to trust in. We tend to believe that everyone is out to get us but who’s fault is that? Did society teach us to look at our fellow brothers and sisters as enemies? Yes there are vultures out there but we need to lift each other up and stop knocking the next man down.

Be cautious about who you trust and also who you allow to trust in you. Remember the law of attraction? Practice what you preach is so cliche but its the truth. Be loyal and in due time loyal people will attract to you.

Mama Africa:The Azonto Dance x Ghana

I told myself that I had to show more of my native land on my site because it represents a massive part of me. My readers deserve to learn more interesting things about my mama Africa. I recently went to a Liberian wedding and fell in love with this dance. It’s so fun to do and you can’t help but move after you hear the beat. This dance called the “Azonto” was actually originated in Ghana but has now become a global dance craze. I like how this video was put together and I loved the energy from the dancers. You can tell the people in the crowd were enjoying filming this video.

Now watch me do my Sonto!!!

At first I couldn’t quite figure out who was missing on my site I just knew it was someone who I was inspired by when I was younger. Then one day I randomly started singing “Are you that somebody by Aaliyah. I can not believe I went this long without putting my girl on this site. I still to this day rock the Aaliyah bang and I love her plum lipstick. I also noticed the bandana style coming back and I would definitely rock that camouflage top with some high waisted shorts. You can tell that she grew out of her tom boyish stage maybe because the label wanted a new look for her. Either way she was beautiful. And I had to throw in the picture with her and left eye because that moment seemed so powerful. RIP to these two beautiful women..

Be fashionable and get inspired..

Hip Hop Line Of The Day: Kanye West x We Don’t Care

20120709-102535.jpg

“cause aint no tuition for having no ambition and ain’t no loans for sitting yo ass at home”

I love this song because it represents us that came from the ghetto. This line is actually one of my favorite lines because it’s so true. You will never get anywhere being lazy sitting on your butt all day watching rich people get richer or tweeting about a life you don’t have. College is not the road for everybody but you will forever be broke physically and mentally if you are not determined and have no drive. Get yourself off that couch and live.

We miss you old Kanye!

Did You Hear? Frank Ocean’s Letter x Lauryn Hill’s Jail Sentence

20120709-020352.jpg

On July 7th at 1:08am my celebrity crush, Frank Ocean revealed to the world about his hidden sexuality. Frank Ocean decided to post a descriptive letter about his other side. I personally am happy for him coming out and being completely honest about his lifestyle. I feel as though so many other undercover artists should feel inspired and to follow his footsteps. I mean we all know Frank isn’t the only one on the rainbow. Discrete homosexuality is very common right now so you have to be cautious. What I cant understand is why he decided to reveal this right before his album debut. Maybe the homosexuality community will buy his album, it seems to be working pretty well for Nicki Minaj.I mean there is no way that Frank Ocean did not discuss this with his label and his publicist before releasing this to the public. If so the record label would have told him to delete the letter. But personally I still love him like I did on July 6th and I wish him success. I just hope he stays away from the dark life of hollywood.

How many of our black entertainers will allow themselves to be victims of the IRS? Miss Lauryn Hill has been sentenced for 3 years because of unpaid taxes. I understand Ms.hill if you were making 7.65 an hour like me and forgot to file taxes but baby you are not me. Everybody knows you cant hide from the IRS for too long. I really think that Lauryn was refusing to pay taxes for a more in depth reason and I agree with you but you have to think about your family. Sometimes our intentions are good but our intentions are not our reality and most of the time our reality is not what we visioned it would be. I love you Lauryn Hill like you were my oldest sister in another life. Someone I looked up to for advice and admired from a far. PAY YOUR TAXES SISTA!

It seems like the music industry is not about music anymore. Its more about the dollar, how quick you can make it, and how long can you keep it circulating.

Stay tuned for my post on the Chris Brown, Drake, Meek Millz, Rihanna love triangle and how this just might be just another big ol’ publicity stunt.

Can we just get back to the music and stop the chaos?
