BIG SEAN SAYS THANK YOU

Before I went to class this afternoon, I saw that Sean had put this video up. I was studying for this exam, so I pulled the video up on my comp, then went over to the Com. Arts Building to take this test. I came back watched it, and to my surprise, I got shouted out right after the BBC/IceCream blog and right before RapRadar. Peep it at around 0:46.

To Sean: Man oh man. To even be mentioned on a list like that is a true honor...furreal bro. I appreciate all the hard work you put into your mixtape, and this album (which is gon crack errbody's head clean open...I only heard 1-2 tracks of it). Keep grindin bro. Anything you need me to do, let me know. You got my support 100%. The hard work is paying off, but your work ethic and grind is gonna pay off even more in years to come. As always, Stay safe, and keep making that quality music for the people as well as yourself.

NOSTALGIC FRESH

"What would an architecture student that is influenced by the descriptive depictions of a hip hop artists’ environment look like? How could they be improved to give an informal act, such as rapping and making music, a formal space? Through the built form, this thesis will take the informal and give it not only a formal space that responds to both the surrounding environment and the inhabitants of that environment but also brings the outside inside to create a city within a building.

Nostalgic Fresh thrives on interactions amongst individuals that may not cross paths usually. These interactions, whether indeterminate, lively, catastrophic, or unintentional will allow for the creation of new experiences in which one can describe/express through the use of this building. The form of expression that is encouraged is through hip hop, but expression in any form is encouraged.

The chosen site, Brewster Douglas Housing Project in Detroit, Michigan was chosenof its history. Many artist that were signed to Detroit’s famed Motown records came from this housing project. Such artist include but are not limited to Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, and Florence Ballard.

Along with this rife history of musical talent, the apartments are now sitting in a interesting spot. Just across I-75, Ford Field and Comerica Park can be accessed while to the Northeast Eastern Market can utilized. There is also a senior living community just off site. With all this around the site, there’s is possibilty for interactions amongst a varied type of people."

Sorry bout the lack of posts...I was on twitter putting my lil bro Cassidy in check, lol...follow him on Twitter if you'd like. Anyways, here are some perfect joints for sneakin in the club. Even though these are a skate shoe, the versatility of these is amazing, as well as the quality....too buttery.

MAXWELL "PRETTY WINGS" (VIDEO)

This is my first time hearing this whole joint. AMAZING. I've probably listened to it about 20 times in a row. Dude's voice is so cold (do I have to [II] that? If so, [II] <--there you go, lol). Anyways, this song's instrumentation is incredible. Watch the vid and give this song a listen....you won't be disappointed at all.

5:03 AM RANDOMS

I'm gettin sleeeeeepy...VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY SLEEEEEEEEEPY!

Anyways, took a quick lil nap. Had a terrible dream that I never wanna have again in my life. Ugh, anyways, lemme throw on this BR fitted and let's see where this goes this morning...

Chrisette Michele was on VH1 Soulstage the other night...I've seriously fallen in love with her sound...she's shitting on a whole lot of R&B songstresses out there....no shots...i'm just sayin.

OOH! So I woke up from this lil nap and completely smashed these two pieces of yellowcake...to whom it may concern, you're the greatest for that one ;-)

People who don't interact with Black people are gonna think that we ALL talk like that lady from the Popeye's commercials...FUUUUUUCK

This Dom Kennedy "FutureStreets/DrugSounds" mixtape has been on rotation for the last couple of days...THAT SHIT IS COLD!!

I was watching 88-Keys "Stay Up (Viagra)" video...and didn't ol' girl in the yellow dress in that video used to be on Hell Date?!?! I dunno, maybe it's just me...

Just found out that Asher Roth was peeping my blog and said: "Yo, this (my blog) is no Daily Kush, but keep that shit up!" LOL, ASHER ROTH WHATUPDOE! Shout-out to Bruce Petit for shooting that over to me. Stuff like that has been motivating me to keep pushing the envelope when it comes to this whole blog ish. But it's not only Asher though, it's all of you that hit me with feedback. Even you out there that talk shit. Believe me, I hear y'all...the hate seems to find me one way or another. I don't give a fuck, cuz I'm out here on my POP ICON© grizzy...so miss me with all that bullshit.

These Yeezy's are making some of y'all act a fuckin fool...when the price gets jacked up to somethin crazy, I don't wanna see/hear any of you bitchin...in the words of Ty from LEADERS1354: "They did it to themselves"...again, I'm just sayin.

Shout-out to all you bums that only hit me up when you need something or want Burn Rubber to be a part of whatever you got goin on...I wanna name drop so bad right now, but I realized that I've increased my daily readers within these last couple months, so I'ma leave it alone.

Currently gettin hip to Mayor Hawthorne...yeah, I handed my self a late pass....and what?

In certain situations, I feel there's nothing more I can do...

I've played Mr. Hudson's "There Will Be Tears" this whole time while I've been typing. That joint puts me in this tranquil, reminiscent mood where I can clear my head of the bullshit that goes on around me. The power this universal language has on me...it's astounding really.

I gotta get back to more of my jazz shit on Sundays. It's almost like church to me at times.

Shout-out to everybody who loves my 5:03 joints. I know there's a select few who look forward to these on my blog, so for y'all, I truly thank you.

SKIGHWALKER...GONE

POP OUT©
