ITS the "SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE" literally....

ITS OUT!! ITS OUT!! ITS OUT!!

Kid Cudi has finally dropped the video for "Soundtrack to my Life" its only my favorite song from the album along with "Pursuit of Happiness", "Simple As..", "Enter Galactic" "Hyyer", "Solo Dolo"...hell you get the picture..The whole album.

This song has to be the most relatable song to me on his album because I've lived those lyrics. I have the single mother and the older sister that kept me fly would she could...Its the "SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE"...literally. The video seems to be a compilation of "home videos" or should i say "road videos" that include concerts, photo shoots, and some random moments in his life while on tour. Oh and you also see a cameo from the great Kanye West. Yep, i know im biased but who cares. "Soundtrack to my Life" gets 10 THUMBS UP!!

Don't forget to check out Cudi in the new HBO hit How to Make it in America it is definitely a must-see for me on Sunday nights. I want friends like those one day..the flakey, inconsistent, live-life on the edge, but with good hearts. Wait. I have those already...lol. How to Make it in America has its season finale this Sunday (April 3rd). Check it out. Holla!!

She's Back Strong

After recently having a baby with rapper JAy Electronica, Erykah Badu is back at it again with her second single "Window Seat." I have always been a Badu fan but i must say i was worried about her comeback but not anymore. The video is different and so Badu. Badu's new CD is entitled New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)' that comes out tomorrow (MArch 30th)..Enjoy!! SHE'S BACK!!

Tyga..Tyga..No Woods

Young Money's Ent. Tyga in a freestyle video "I'm So Raw" featuring Chris Brown. All i can say is pure DOPE!!! Check the video out below.

This is why i LOVE Whoopi!!

I refuse to believe im the only heterosexual male that watches The View religiously. Yep, and im not ashamed to admit it along with Desperate Housewives and Glee ..lol. Anyway, before i get off on a tangent cohost of The View Whoopi Goldberg recently made it a point to disclaim some haters on the show last week. Radio show host Howard Stern and his co host took to the air Monday where they made some pretty awful and mean statements about Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe the star of the acclaimed movie Precious:Based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire. Stern and his cohost made statements regarding Sidibe's weight and her future in the movie business, where they said she wouldn't have one outside of her first movie role. Those statements angered Goldberg because they weren't true. Goldberg made it a point to tell the world that Sidibe is currently working on a television show and 2 movies and all she wants Stern and his cohost to do is "get the facts straight." HA!!

You can see a clip of Whoopi on The View that featured guest cohost Elton John below.

Sorry JoJo Simmons.......

You have a sick flow BUT Diggy is STUPID!!!

Diggy Simmons OUTDID it with this one. Not only has he taken one of the sickest beats in hip-hop history from MY favorite rapper NAS, he remixed his smash hit "Made You Look" and reinvented the flow for young rappers in his age group. I must admit i downloaded Diggy's mixtape The First Flight on the day it debut out of pure curiosity and quickly enjoyed it especially "Classic Introduction", "Hu$tle Simmons" and "Point to Prove."

In Diggy's "Made You Look" he had some off the chain one liners such as "You know im born in Queens so Nas gave me the clearance" and his hook "Yeah i made you look yall are slaves to the page in my MacBook" hahahaha..Funny good.

Its the GENIUS in him!!


KanYe West recently took to his new blog and wrote something that I felt finally shows who he really is. Many see Ye as arrogant, conceited, not humbled, and a plain asshole. But that's not the case. What many fail to realize is that Ye is human just like we are full of flaws and always ready for change. Hands down Ye is my favorite rapper, it is his music that inspires me and a day doesn't go by that i don't listen to homies music. Those who know me, say I'm bias when it comes to KanYe and i accept that because its true...Ohh wellll..lol. After reading his spiel on his blog i came to the conclusion that "Its simply the GENIUS in him." Yep, that's it. He cant help his random outbursts, blatant truthfulness, amazing music, or immaculate dress. Its all apart of his GENIUS. So for now on when I'm asked "Johnathan, why are you so different? or Why don't you care so much? or even What kind of shoes do you have on?" I'm simply gonna state "Its all apart of MY GENIUS." You cant consume the GREAT you can only sip off of it.

To see the full read of KanYe's spiel see his new blog here and see his spiel above.
