A unique cover by Matisyahu of the Kings of Leons' hit "Use Somebody". Towards the end, there's an interview with Matisyahu and he states exactly why he decided to cover the song, and admits he isn't a Kings of Leon fan, but really enjoys the song "Use Somebody". And I totally agree, the song itself will forever be timeless, but I can't honestly say I'm a Kings of Leon fan.
Pretty nice cover tho...Check it out.

Erykah Badu- Window Seat
At first, I was a little disappointed in the complete swagger jack of Matt and Kims' video for "Lessons Learned", but I soon realized Erykah is bringing that individuality vibe back to black community. It's crazy how something as little as nudity can attract so much negative attention, but yet things like violence and hate have been a commonality in pop culture for YEARS; Sad Really...
..But dope Song, great message, and nothing short of the reasons why I love Erykah Badu.

MGMT-Congratulations
The Grammy nominated, Psychedelic-Pop duos newest album, "Congratulations" is slated to release April 13 but has already been leaked. Instead of B**ching about it like some rappers we know, the group left this statement on their website:
"Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us. We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn't make sense to anyone but us"
A free download wouldn't be half bad huh? But they do offer us a chance to listen to the album in its entirety @ http://www.whoismgmt.com/
But make sure you still support these dudes April 13! Indie Artists unite!

Swizz Beats Speaks on Divorce with Ex-Wife Mashonda
...Interesting. Swizz tells his story about his divorce with Mashonda.
THE 3RD POUNDER B****!!!!!!
My bad for the title, I was excited. But today was the FIRST time I tried the damned McDonalds Angus Burger....(I know I'm late...So what?) For starters, I'm not for hype, and 2.) The whole "Angus" thing sounds pretty damn gay...(No offense...) But anywho, the joint was iight, nothing special....Annnnnnnd, I Highly DOUBT I'll ever try it again...smh. The aftermath was monstrous to thy stomach, you feel me? Nooo bueno my G's.....NO BUENO....
I'll stick to my Big Macs and number 7's from now on...
...And WHAT THE HELL does this have to do with McDonalds?? o_O
...There isn't even a Jungle Gym/ Playground thingy in here....What are they talking about??
hahaaa
Jazz-OH rant....Volume 1
*sigh*
Today in my Films Studies class, we watched a film called, "KOYAANISQATSI" (Don't try to pronounce it, you might hurt yourself.), and I thought the film was REMARKABLE! This film is a documentary without words only using sounds and images to explain the movies direction; and Oh what a job they did!! Phenomenal cinematography, great message, slight humor (Although dry), but overall this was the most powerful documentary I've ever seen! Buuuut 90 minutes without words seemed to turn a few of my classmates off.
Although I'm no movie buff, or an art critic, I know a good film when I see one; and KOYAANISQATSI was an outstanding film. Now, I'm a little upset because the class seemed abashed towards the film, and I'm a little confused why. For one, HOW ARE YOU IN AN ART SCHOOL AND CAN NOT APPRECIATE ART AT ANY FORM? I'm so Appalled (Kanye Voice) at how the class sighed, and grunted, as if they being tortured unjustly. WTF!!!?? As my man Martin Lawrence would say, "GET TUH SHHTEEPIN", and stop bothering people who are actually enjoying the film. I also found it DISGUSTING that one of our poor-er looking classmates (I was laughing out loud as I wrote that...HA!) was on Worldstarhiphop.com watching Waka Flocka clips WITH NO DAMN HEADPHONES ON! Yo, I was actually ashamed to be black at that moment.....And I LOVE my Blackness, smh. But truthfully, as an artist in an art school, be careful of your judgement of other forms of media, it really makes you look like less of an artist and more of an idiot. Just my thoughts.
Peace.

Never too late....
I once heard that it's "Never too late to appreciate something or someone", and thank God for that! As of late, I've truly become a fan DJ/ Electronica artist Moby, ever since running across his tunes via Pandora.com. It was actually the song "Porcelain" (Video below) that intrigued me in the first place. Its ambiant synths, and classic Hip Hop drum loops, with the subtle piano medley in the background (You know I love me some pianos...) Naturally, when I first heard the name Moby, I thought of the Eminem diss line from Em's song "Without Me"..."...And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie/ You 36 year old, bald headed f*g blow me/ You don't know me, you're too old, let go, it's over...NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO..." lol. So when I thought of Moby, I thought of a Hip Hop hating douche' bag...among other things...But I'd never thought I'd be listening to his music as I do now. Moby has been active since 1985 (2 years before I was born) and in 2010, I'm just now enjoying his tunes. But it's "NEVER TOO LATE"! Dont make the same mistake I did...
Music is timeless...Music is everlasting...Music is more than a "genre"....enjoy.
