Wanted Wednesdays: Watch The Throne

Just a few months ago anyone who knows me or have read the left hand side of my blog would not doubt my love for the arrogant, yet talented Kanye West. I can go on and on about WHY I love him so much, but thats not the point of this Wanted Wednesday. The point is to notify YOU, the reader, of things that are hot in the streets and that is wanted by myself and/or others. But even the most LOYAL Kanye fans are feeling some way about these high **s ticket prices. I mean, the way I see it now, only three types of people have tickets already for this concert: The rich, the "I'm just going to say I went", and the Eminem "Stans" who would probably do some harm to Kanye if they ever met him. Now, you want to know what I call "expensive"? True, $114 is NOT a lot to see Kanye. $114 is a lot to see Kanye when you're sitting in the freaking nose bleed! Sure, Jay is with him, but I'm sorry, I refuse to pay over $1oo for piss poor seats for two mofo's running around a stage and maybe doing ONE costume change! Great seats for Beyonce are about that much, but again, Beyonce has lights, dancers, choreography, set & costume change and last: She's Beyonce! I saw Janet Jackson a few months back and SHE wasnt even that expensive. And sure Janet aint been hot, "HOT" since the Velvet Rope, but still, I think she should demand more money than two rap artist running around on stage with their mics out makings the audience rap half their lines! I'm sorry if this is turning more into a rant, but I'm passionate about music AND Kanye and it seriously pains me to know there is a chance I wont be at the concert. And if you're wondering why I just wont bite the bullet and get the cheap seats, I'll tell you why: I've been to TWO Kanye concerts,paid less than $100, never been any further than 12 rows back AND *clears throat*, I snuck backstage with the intention of meeting Kanye and I DID meet Kanye AND spoke to him. Dont believe me? I have three people to back me up. Anywho, thats another blog. But for now, I'll just be hoping and wishing this Wanted Wednesday for Watch The Throne tickets.

He Drives?

I'm really more fascinated at the fact the Jay-Z is driving. I seriously thought this guy only drives to his mailbox given the fact that he probably has a chauffeur to take him and misses everywhere. Oh well!

Throwback Thursday: Do It Again

I never got the hook of this song until I lived it! In the hook Jigga raps, "12am on my way to the club..." and so on. Now, if you live anywhere but LA or NYC, you're not making your way to the club at midnight. If anything, your butt has been there since 10 and you're probably about to bounce soon!
I seriously think that this song and video put something in my brain that made me so infatuated with NYC. If this doesn't have that gritty New York feel to it, I don't know what does. Enjoy this weeks throwback Thursdays video. Get out the house like the chic in the video if you dare judge!

Kanye Keeps it Real!

I tell you who does that, my soul mate Kanye Omarie West. I know what you're thinking,"Please not another blog about this dude"! Well, it is! I get so sick and oh so tired (Not really, though. I could care less, but I need a reason to say what I'm about to say) of dudes,specifically rappers claiming they keeps it real! On the real, who is to say what is real. Not just real talk, but real. Yeah, I love Jigga just as much as the next hip hop head, but more than likely he DID sell drugs in his prime, but dude wasn't pitching "BIG game" if you know what I mean. He was probably nickeling and diming, maybe selling an ounce or two just like any other local dealer. He just has "real talk". Sorry J, I ain't buying it. And Biggie? I like him too, but he was hardly doing 1/10 of what he claims on the hit classic,"Dead Wrong". Again, that was just "real talk",not "real". Now, there's nothing wrong with NOT "keeping it real" but I just think we should acknowledge how Kanye does keep it real.If you listen to his raps, he rarely threatens to kill anyone or let alone hit or rape (lil Webby) someone. Now, in his classic "Spaceship" he does rap "If my manager assaults me again/I will be assaulting him/after I f**k the manager up/then I'm going to shorten the register up". In all honesty, the way this dude cries about not getting an award, I really do think he would fight his own boss. But that's neither here nor there. I guess I feel I can relate to 'Ye like because he comes from a middle class family and was probably pretty sheltered his whole life. But you didn't see him entering the rap game with baggy jeans (also known as the "wear my pants low for easy access pants) , white tee's, grilled out mouth and always throwing bitches and hoes in his videos. And honestly in my book, that is exactly what a breakout artist is known to do. Not that they ARE that way, but that is what is marketable. Kanye came with the preppy polo style look and not ashamed of his love for fashion. He went platinum and doesn't rap guns. I love that. I love that he raps like a dude from the suburbs. Just real talk when he rymthes. This is the main reason why I even started on this blog. Please take a second to watch:




"That nigga Beans, that ain't no studio rapper! I'm not beefing with Beans! That nigga don't give a f**k" LMAO!!! I'm sorry, I love Kanye with a crazy passion, but that ish was funny. It doesn't get any more "real" than that. Any other rapper would have seen this as an opportunity to beef and hype themselves up for more sales and spins (*cough*cough, Soulja Boy and Ice T), but Kanye played that down! And that's what I love about him! He knows Beanie is a real street dude, but yet he was still man enough to be like "dude, just respect me". That is what real is. You could say he went out like a punk, but a smart man knows his boundaries. I don't blame him. I wouldn't dare try to have beef with Remy Ma. Hell, she shot her bestfriend, so they say. And on another note, that nigga Ye is hott enough that he don't need to play out no beef with anyone! Period! Lyrically, he ain't better than Jigga, but I bet Hov wouldn't dare drop his album the same day as Ye! That's just how hott he is! Yeah I said it! Remember, dont you dare judge me!!
