to my NY heads...

i'll be in NYC next week for a couple days.
the 22-25th to be precise. let's build. let's link.
i'll be scouting for my documentary so if u can help in any way, that'd be AWESOME.

gasp! dwele vs. broke & boujee

next thursday is gonna be crazy.
dwele is performing @ sugarhill (get tix @ ticketalternative.com)
and broke & boujee's joint is going down @ 5 spot.

what's a girl to do? smash both.

and get dwele's album too. it's dope.

dubelyoo did it.

my pops and i have just started collecting our fave obama pics. i found one the other day on the new yorker website (below)...he reminds me of malcolm x in this photo (like i knew X personally). he just has this confidence and cool air about him and i'd love to have him as my president.



dubelyoo (www.occasionalsuperstar.com) designed this and it's goin on the wall fam.

koushik.

good news from the stones throw camp.
koushik (pronounced co-shik) is releasing a new album in september with a digital release in august.
i love koushik because he has this sound that makes me feel like i'm doing drugs in palm springs eating cookies i baked prior.
it's that real.

so i'm excited about the album nonetheless because if it has that dusty record player vibe i've been missing then bring it on baby. and his voice is like spreading butter on a biscuit on the beach...smooth and unexpected.

also, go download the latest stones throw podcast so u can score some free koushik love.

let's get sloppy baby.

if you're in my city this weekend, shoot over to MJQ for the sloppy seconds jumpie.

should be nuts as always.
bring your game face cuz chris (the midnight socialite) is gonna be shooting.

i'll be there.

under the same moon

i championed this film when i saw it in the theater earlier this year. when i say it's emotional, it's emo-shun-ull!!

i cried at the trailer alone and i'm usually not a fan of the tears. I guess here recently i've been a bit more prone to the soft touch of emotion.

it's the story of a boy who lives in mexico with his grandmother. his mother is in los angeles illegally trying to work and of course provide a better life for her son. his grandmother dies...he's determined to find his mother....and the obstacles...and the love... and the acting...and the beautiful setting. overall i loved it and i give it 5 out of 5 stars. it makes you feel so much closer to your mom and it makes you realize that we should be willing to move mountains and cross oceans for our mothers.

here's to you mom!

go cop it @ your local media outlet. it's worth the purchase.

THE TRAILER

why diddy is a rapist.

so last night i had a little chat with zano as we were watching the "sex: revolution" doc on vh1...

until that dayum commercial for diddy's new reality show came on. A NEW REALITY SHOW??! YOU WANNA WORK FOR DIDDY??

*slams phone against the wall*

when i say that i'm sick of him, i really am over his tired ass. simply b/c he's a rapist in the worst way. you know how they make child predators and shit have a sign in their front yard stating their sin?? well, diddy should have one as well. like, i'm talking even helicopters should fly the banner around saying it too. write it in the sky while ur at it.

he makes a living now off humiliating people on television and i guess if i were hungry for a career on the bottom rung of the music industry i'd buy into it, but i can't. he hasn't had a consistent artist since biggie, not including himself. yea u could say danity kane didn't do half bad this go round but let's peep the 3rd album. he's dicked everyone from faith to mary to the lox. he's literally taken the exact same classic songs and added his own lyrics and claims the production. bullshit. everytime i hear kashmir by led zepp i get upset. it's a fave song but diddy stains my mind when i try to sit back with some good herb and vibe to robert plant's woozy voice.

damn u diddy.

i dunno. let me cease my rant before some bad boy street team members come kickin in the door wavin' 4-4's and the new diddy biography.

til then suckers.

quick update.

so i've been a little missing in action with good reason. i honestly enjoy doing this blog and trust me, you'll see some changes coming very soon. also, my portfolio site will be arriving in the coming weeks as well. it's basically my portfolio of all the creative stuff i involve myself with...
+ photography
+ styling
+ sketches n doodlez
+ film lovin.

so stay tuned baby bubbas.

i was in miami and hollywood florida for july 4th weekend. i took a load of pics and lost some miami ones as well but it's all G. i'll upload those as soon as they're back from the printer. me and the 35mm are lovers.

miami, here i come!

the girl is going to miami.
gonna catch some rays.
sans dallas.
i'll miss him.
mama needs a vay-cay.

i'll be taking plenty of pics and video so when i get back monday i'll be on an uploading spree.

i'm hyped.

so a few days ago i got the chance to peep the new lloyd and lil wayne video "all around the world". the song has been around for a minute, and the video is an amazing companion piece. a goal of mine is to direct music videos and breath some of the fresh air "up there" with hype williams (the director of this fly joint), spike jonze, diane martel, etc.

soon come.

my boy chris says, "i want bad robot bitches :("
and u know what chris, i do too. and any girl that says she doesn't...well that skanky bitch is LYING!!!
bad robot bitches for everybody. even the children cuz the lawd knows, they need a prayer and a new song from stevie.

hype, u slay me and i love it every single time.
