It’s Time For Good Music July 16, 2008

As we saw earlier the music that is being released lately has been on a serious decline. It is a sad day people. A sad decade because music is nothing like it was in the 90’s. Let’s take a look back at a certified classic because today it may have just been destroyed for the masses. More on that after the video.

H-Town “Knocking Boots” from 1993

That indeed is a classic and a nice reminder of how music could have been about intimacy but still tasteful and have a nice tasteful video to accompany it. But as I have already say today it is over. Let me share with you.

Pretty Ricky “Knocking Boots 08″

Now that you have layed witness to both versions of the song. Tell me how bad are your eyes bleeding? This video is way too comical to be taken seriously at all. Between the lame attempts of portraying ‘boot knocking’ by having some stepping boots pop up randomly in the video and ‘Sexy Spec’ trying to get his strip tease on I don’t know how to continue on with my life without these images haunting me. The only person who makes this song acceptable is the new singing man ‘4 Play’. He needs to take a serious clue from his predecessor and break free to go solo. He is no Marvin Gaye (who they seriously disrespected by cutting him out and replacing with themselves) but he is nothing to shit on by todays’ standards.

What is wrong with the youth of today who I know will buy this trash of an album “80’s Baby” that I predict will be coming to attack this planet with its impending awfulness very soon? I watched the H-Town video again today and realized I was only about 7 years old when this song came out and I remember it coming out and I remember loving it when it came out and waiting on The Box to play the video again. But I sit here thinking how tragic it is that this new remake with a vulgar video will be viewed by the 7 year olds that exist today. Thank God I had parents to teach me right from wrong but since there is a serious lack of that ability nowadays, THESE KIDS ARE FUCKED! This groups demographic of pre-teens and teens are SERIOUSLY FUCKED. They will walking around thinking a man kissing on his biceps is ’sexy’, that interpretive dancing is something worth imitating (about 1:10 into the video), and that being a part of the Technicolored Yaki Weave Crew is something worthy of praise (BLACK, BROWN, BLOND and RED, HOORAY FOR THE RAINBOW!!!).

Blood boiling now, time for more counteraction of that major foul offense here you go, music for your soul:

and her husband:

and something recent:

There now I send you out into the world in peace. Have a Great Day.

Why oh Why?? July 16, 2008

Today I came across a video that was so shocking I wish I had a way to banish it from this planet and erase it from the memory of everyone who has viewed it. BUT I CAN’T, SO SHARE I MUST.

What has happened in this world, that young women think it is cute and acceptable to appear in a video like this. It is disrespectful to themselves and to other women. What kind of right do people have to portray women in that light? Any woman who does not respect herself enough to keep her sexuality behind closed doors has a problem. Don’t get me wrong, I believe everyone has the right to express their sexuality anyway they choose 2, just keep it private. The sad thing is that there are women in the world who would actually bust-down any random nobody. Kudos to the women who decided not to show their faces. Sadly, that is the highest and only compliment I can dish out to these young ladies.

Women have got to respect themselves and the image of womanhood because it is falling apart. I know too many girls and women (myself included) who have been disrespected on the streets or in general public areas because of the fucked images many men get of women . I hold myself to a high standard and I have morals and standards and I get disrespected all the time (more at that at a later date). There are many other women who do also but yet they have to put with unruly men against their will. I am sick of the BS and things have got to change. Enough ranting though, time for something to counteract that atrocity.

I have to give a big thank you to Ms. Alicia Keys because I have been waiting for this song to be released as a single and today my dreams have finally come true. This is so refreshing a tear almost came to my eye. I feel hopeful every time I have watched this video today. Maybe it will start a revolution: the importance of a STRONG BLACK WOMAN, thus eliminating the not so important images of how good a bottom feeder can suck on a mans dick in front of others. TO ALL WOMEN: it is OKAY to respect yourself, because YOU ARE a VALUABLE human being. You can add so much to a GOOD MAN’S life. All you have to do is hold yourself to higher standards. You will be surprised how much bullshit it eliminates from your life. Don’t wait till tomorrow lets all make the change today. THAT IS JUST MY WISHFUL THINKING.

Why I Created This Blog!!! July 16, 2008

I have spent a lot of time lately deciding if and why I should start a blog. Would I be doing something new? Probably not. Would I be able to reach the people. Definetly. That is what is all about, bringing my views to more people. I am doing this because I believe in common sense. There defintely seems to be a lot of slack showing up in that department in this country. WE HAVE GOT TO PICK IT UP PEOPLE!! I am coming to the rescue to help you figure things out and shine some light on things. I will tackle personal issues, universal problems, problems occuring in my community (THE BLACK COMMUNITY), and the rampant lack of artistic creativity that becomes worse every week. But I can not always be negative, so I will sprinkle in a little positivity every now and then.  Always remember this: Everything we do, we have to be sure of. There are only TWO ways to handle any situation:THE RIGHT WAY AND THE WRONG WAY.  If you come across this page add it to your favorites because I promise I will not disappoint.
