Hmmm.. just had a thought. Since this is MY personal blog, why not just post about the things that I'm totally interested in... hmmmmm.. well sounds like a good idea I guess..? </sarcasm>
DAMMIT, I have no idea why I haven't really embraced this blog as much as I should have. It really does feel good to put shit here for a pseudo-audience to read haha. So I've decided to dedicate most of my posts to my interests in life, also to post some not-so-general knowledge stuff about things like music/art and whatever else I know, haha.
ANYWAY onto news!!
OMG, USHER AND CHILLI BACK TOGETHER?!? Wow, never thought that would happen, especially after the highly publicized relationship Usher had with Tameka and the whole divorce mess he got himself into afterwards. And then his decision to have that fling with the older Def Jam exec, Grace. Man, Usher seemed to be liking his older women!
But yeah, I've always thought Usher and Chilli made a good couple before. I'm kinda mixed about this news now though. Not sure why, maybe because of the decisions Usher has made since his breakup with her in Dec 2003. You messed up bro!
Here's a little something from Kanye that I read again after a friend reminded me of it on facebook. This dude, no matter how egotistical he can be sometimes, definitely speaks from his heart. I've definitely got a whole heap of respect for this guy, always have. Not many people would be able to do the things he is doing. By that I mean to be able to stand up tall and speak the truth even though he is under so much public scrutiny. I feel for this guy sometimes too. He really does represent a realist in a ludicrously abused industry, a rarity in this day in age. I can definitely understand his desire to make that mini-movie he published online a few months ago. Kanye, keep doing what you do bro!
Talking about Kanye, to all you haters/borderliners or even to those that like him a bit, let me present to you my throwback video of the day. I absolutely love this song of his. A little history to some of you out there: Before Kanye's breakout album "The College Dropout (2004)", Kanye worked closely with Roc-A-Fella Records, which was at the time being managed by none other than Jay-Z. He was a key producer in Jay-Z's highly successful "The Blueprint (2001)" album, though found it very hard to get support from the music industry as a rapper. Kanye was only ever acknowleged as a producer and nothing else, a.k.a. the guy that makes the music behind-the-scenes and is almost always never known by the general public. He felt that he was never properly acknowledged for the works he had done. Jay-Z's thanks to him for working on his critically acclaimed and commercially successful album was two front-row tickets to his show... that Kanye had to pay for himself. A year after his work on "The Blueprint", Kanye was involved with a car crash which almost took his life. This gave him the motivation to make his first single, "Through the Wire", the song to which I posted the video link to. Only a few months after he suffered the accident, Kanye decides to head into the studio to record this song.. WITH WIRES ALL THROUGH HIS MOUTH AND JAW. My case in point, this man speaks the truth. You can't tell me that what he says in this song wasn't from his heart.
Anyway, that's all from me today. Hope you guys enjoyed this blog posts change in pace! (:
