If you're out there you're vulnerable. People prefer to disappear in life, to repress their personality. That's not living. It's dying. I see them all over the place, the walking dead.

Lil' Wayne Obsessed with a Queen::

Lil' Wayne drops video for his rock single "Prom Queen" and I must admit the video adds a flare to the overall concept of the song. In a way ::deep breath:: this song/video gave me a feeling like Rock N' Roll had returned to its original prototype, haha!

And a track with Wayne not cursing every other word or slurring??? Priceless.



Hmmn....I wonder who this ||Q.u.ee.n|| was at the prom who Lil' Wayne was infatuated with?

The Surgeon's Favorite Patients:: White Mike & Kim Lee

Looks like MJ will be coming out of seclusion. He has officially scheduled to make an announcement on Thursday at the O2 Arena in London. Britain's Sky News reported Wednesday that the 50-year-old King of Pop has agreed to a series of summer concerts at the O2. So, it looks like yet another Diva will be hitting the stage following a stint of time away from performing! We shall see....Michael has left the kidds hanging for some time now, so I'm not holding my breath for this one. He has probably scheduled this only to announce he's never performing again. Joke!

Monday March 9, 2009 13 new cast members will hit the dance floor for the first time on "Dancing With The Stars." Included is one of Hip-Hop's leading ||L.a.D.i.e.s||, Lil' Kim. She took a break from rehearsals and gave an interview about her spot on the popular dance show. I must say it gives insight into another dimension of her personality. One that will give the general public a different perspective of who Lil' Kim really is. I am definitely gettin' into it. w.e.r.k Ms. Jones!




I have never heard her talk so...proper? Who taught you that girl? Prayer [prison] changes things, yes it does!

India.Arie Testifies as Only She Can::

In her 4th studio album "Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics" India.Arie comes back with heartfelt tracks that do anything but disappoint fans. Since her debut in 2001, India has proven time and time again , that other artists need to catch up to her level; she sets a the standard for neo-soul artists of today. No one in this generation combines soul, rhythm, love and political motifs in such a tasteful way than this Atlanta native. This album invites listeners on a journey to a deeper spiritual side of India.Arie.

The running theme of the album is connection through creation. In her intro/interludes she thanks God that he created her "from the same grains, from the same thing." This universal appeal resurfaces in "Ghetto" where she breaks down geographical barriers in comparing several countries [ghettos]. This track is followed by the album's lead single "Chocolate High" feat. Musiq Soulchild, which honestly does the overall project no justice. It's a good album filler, but there are stronger tracks that would have better served as singles.

Album highlights include "He Heals Me," the soul-stirring "Pearls" which places you in the daily routine of a woman from Somalia. The nostalgic "River Rise" takes you to a place deep within that we often forget. The album closes with a beautiful ode to life that inspires hope and change called "A Beautiful Day."

Turn Ya Bag Swag....ON::

This spring put away those over sized bags! They were cute for the fall-- don't get me wrong-- but let small, ornate clutches make statements all by themselves as the weather warms up & you lighten your load. They can do no wrong. Watch them ||w.e.r.k|| You can modestly start your collection shopping online at Patricia Field.

If you need a prototype, watch lil' Ms. Knowles...she seals everything in my book!








Back N Commission after ||M.I.N.O.R|| Surgery::

It's been ages since I've banged out a blog filled with randomz and all that jazz....and little bit of reads!?!?

Pressed right?

Well, I feel like I've fully recharged from an overwhelmingly draining year. But with 2008 gone, milk hirer than over.........oh, and some new family in the white house: I'M BACK KIDDIES.
