Inspiration: J. Cole



"They asking where my chain at/ It's sumthin' like your girl, nigga it ain't came yet"

"Is that ya gal? I just G'd her (Jeter), no A-Rod"

I heard this was one of the dopest shows ever @ SOB's in NYC. Respect.

Slaughterhouse finally getting a major label deal?


http://www.complex.com/blogs/2010/03/26/shady-business-catching-up-on-slaughterhouse’s-record-label-soap-opera/

Time will heal everything. I'm heavily influenced by Buddens and Royce so I hope this gets done sooner rather than later. I think signing with Shady will help propel them to the top. Hip-Hop desperately needs their help right now...

Rest in Peace Uncle Mansour



You took the easy way out.

I wish you had more strength
What about your three girls?
Standing behind what you believe in is courageous
But suicide isn't the answer

You were one of the few people that was here from the start. I knew you for 20 years. You came to my house for dinner and poetry readings every Tuesday since I was in Roosevelt Elementary School. You helped ease the pain. I was comfortable when you were around my Dad. You helped me accept him. You helped me appreciate what I was given. So why didn't you appreciate what you were given?

I don't want these tears to leave
I don't want to focus
I don't want to see things clearly
Blurry vision helps me accept life's imperfections

I love you
I forgive you
But I will never forget you...

"I just can't explain this shit at all."

For those of you who said Drake can't sing...


http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1409675#utm_campaigne=synclickback&source=http://nahright.com/news/2009/04/26/video-drake-just-blaze-in-the-studio/&medium=1409675

Fast forward to around the 22 minute mark. I'm guessing that this is a track off of Thank Me Later produced by Just Blaze, titled "You Know" or "I Know". It sounds like Jeezy comes in on one of the verses, and Marsha Ambrosious is supposed to be on it as well.

Take notes

This particular HipHopGame.com journal effectively covers a few important, controversial music industry topics: why are leaks a GOOD thing, whose going to take over when Lil Wayne is gone (LOL) and how much power a "mixtape" really has.

I'd highly recommend this journal/extended article for anyone whose interested in learning more about the music business!

Blue Eyed Iranians



I've always wondered why there's not many blue eyed Iranians. Here's a good article that breaks down a few facts about why blonde hair and blue eyes are a lost trait amongst Iranians.

Drake's first single from Thank Me Later is out... "Over"


http://www.zshare.net/audio/73323631b12825d4/

Produced by Boi-1nda... What are your thoughts?

Thank Me Later, coming out in May. Until then, my focus is on Peace of Mind.
