I’m sitting at my desk jamming to the beats and hooks on a mix cd I have. Well I made the mistake of actually catching one of the lines in the “Hey Bay Bay” remix.

The line is - My pants hang so low it looks like I’m rocking a pull up….

A PULL UP

You have to be f*cking kidding me….

Pull ups are fly now…. WTH?

Dude go back and listen to this verse and think “damn I need to pull my pants up”

That is some of the stupidest ish I’ve heard in years.

OK… *pulls pants up*

you know what F*CK it…I’m designing a line of pull ups with rhinestones and lights….

I’m done….

This ish right here is HI-LARRY-US

my favorite quote: Old Snoop would kill new Snoop and Rob him…..

I’ve heard this song many times and really liked it…

well I saw the video this morning for the first time and was almost in tears…

so if you haven’t seen it….I just wanted to share

T.I. told ya’ll in his first album (for those who haven’t heard it you need to get it) that he is SERIOUS. He proved it last night at the BET awards. His performance was proceeded by a vingette of him and P$C in a dressing room. T.I. was decked out in a fly suit and the P$C was complaining about how he needs to start being T.I.P. again. The P$C leaves the dressing room and T.I. is left alone looking in the mirror. In the mirror he sees visions on himself in a hoodie that has a crown BEDAZZLED on the hood. He shakes his head and goes to the door to leave the dressing room and when he opens the door standing there is is D-Boy(Dope Boy) alter ego T.I.P. T.I.P. tells T.I. that he can’t come out tonight…that T.I.P. has it uncer control (I wonder if T.I. has been watching Heroes?).

Well T.I.P. hits the stage with CRAZY engery and rips it. T.I. can rock a stage by his damn self like folks used to do back in the day. He ain’t just standing on the stage rocking back and forth grabbin his nuts wondering why the crowd is dead.

Watch the BET Awards Wednesday….it was a good show….but then again I could be biased cause I was there…lol

I “get my hands on” Kelis’ album today and I and am I getting some work done while I half listen to it. Well while half working and half listening a familiar melody catches my ear. It’s a sample of Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen (The Queen of the Nights Aria) from the Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte). I am floored and instantly loving the song.

A little history…many moons ago while attending Emory Univeristy I took an elective. What was the elective you may ask….Introduction to Opera. You ask why in the HELL did you take introduction to Opera? Well, I really enjoy all types of music and I knew there was a lot of opera in a lot ofLooney Tunes cartoons. So I thought it would be interesting. It was not only interesting bet the best class I’ve ever taken. You’d be surprised how much opera you were exposed to as a child and not realized it. I was sitting in class thinking “OH SHIT THATS KILL DA WABBIT”. But I heard of a lot on familiar songs and found some new favorites. Die Zauberflöte was one of those new favorites and thought the Queen of the Nights Aria was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever heard. I love it so much I was offended when WHitney Houston came out with the song talking about how she was the Queen of the Night.

Well getting back to Kelis…I really loved Kelis’ first album…yes the one with “Caught Out There” (I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW) ….and still play it every now and then to keep from cussing folks out. Well now….Kelis and the Queen of the Night are on repeat…Track 11 “Like You”.

Now I’m actually going to go buy the album…and you should too.
