C'mon B...it's the Lakers!!

**Disclaimer**

Now ya'll know I love Jay and Bey more than the next, so this is not to clown or be disrespectful. This is just an observation.

During the Mavs vs. Lakers Game last night, the lovely couple was in attendance court side looking fab as always. However, Mrs. Carter looked as if she was watching paint dry, and it offended me. She's sitting court side, watching the world-renown Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks go at it in a game that had a spread no more than 5-6 points the WHOLE game!! How can that be boring to you? What the h-e-double-hockey sticks. I mean, we never know what Jay is thinking...he picked up that trait from The Godfather and never let it go. It's a good trait to have, and with the shades, if he's there you gotta believe he's enjoying something.

<<*just in* Via my Tweetdeck, I just got word that she left the game early...told ya'll she was bored out of her da*n mind!! >>

But that talented wife of his needs to work on that concept...or just give up that fabulous seat to someone that would REALLY appreciate it. Court side to see the Lakers...on my bucket list...for Bey it's just another day. SMDH...

ciao!

NBA ALL-STAR 2010

We went, we saw, we kicked it, we let it marinate, we went back home.

WE WENT - To tell you the story on how I even got to the airport would be a whole other entry. Let's just say, that preparation is the key to even having a chance of success in ANYTHING. Special thanks to my CC family, CC staff, my Daddy, my brother, and his best friend Cool Breeze. If it weren't for them, their support, and my planning, I may never had made my flight to Dallas.

WE SAW - We saw all income levels of recession lace fronts, too many pairs of leggings with lumps in them, the prep-work for catching pneumonia (non-coat-wearing-fast-women), wandering eyes of men while with their main, groupie love, Gucci this & that, TOO many versions of the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Canvas, brown-skinned avatars, lifted stilettos, more recession lace front, and a whole lot of cougars gone wild.

WE KICKED IT - In the Traverse rolling around downtown Dallas observing MUCH randomness to include: an early V-day gift in the front of a Caprice, saving the man on the corner selling t-shirts from the po-po, booty pads, cross-walk scooting in a shamedium corset, cranberry juice on the corner, tripods, a shooting inside the Traverse, and Diddy at the Mickey D's drive-thru with his bodyguards OUTSIDE of the Escalade - very serious about his Big Mac. The Cowboys Stadium where the game took place was beyond capacity with a record of 108K+ folks of all ages, sizes, shapes, colors, and walks of life. Usher wow'd us with those leather capri's, Shakira tried to step, and Alicia rocked a new hair color. The popcorn and nachos were that thang, and the Will Call line moved smooth as a baby's bottom. T.O. & Josh Howard's party that featured: T.O.'s cute smile, more brown-skinned avatars, 2 Captain Morgans + Coke, 1 double-Captain Morgan + Coke, grunts from DJ Bay Bay, yarn pony-tails, Mr. Martin's hood entourage, food on the back table that EVERYONE forgot about, Mizzou Alum, no-English speaking, efficient coat-check, and Josh Howard's breakfast offer.

WE LET IT MARINATE - Had to scoop up some Razzo's, Pappadeaux's, Five Guys, and Waffle House. Eating like we ate is probably against laws in parts of the country. Not leaving until 4pm like we didn't have an 8 hour drive should be against the law period...but the ride home wasn't that bad at all.

WE WENT BACK HOME - on the road again...reflecting on what we had just witnessed in the previous 48 hours and what was to come on our next journey. March 19th...doing it all over again!!

Even iTunes Can Hate...

You have never let me down...but on 9.8.09....you did the inevitable...you were a step behind....you were late...you hurt me...you ALMOST ruined my week. We've been through too much...we've had some amazing moments...you've come through in some clutch situations...but yesterday, you made me curse you.

For those that know me, you know that I've been anticipating the album release of BP3 -

SIDETRACK (ya'll know I'm random) - This album is AMAZING!! GET IT JAY!! It's not better than BP1 or the Black Album...but it's sitting up there with them...his evolution as an artist is like damn!! Maybe some of these folks that are afraid to progress and grow up will learn something from Hov...cause he maps it all out in BP3...GET UP ON IT...before it's time to get "Off That."

BACK ON TRACK: So, as my fellow iTuners know, when you pre-order an album it comes at midnight on the day the album is scheduled to drop. Well with all leakage, BP3 decided to come 3 days early - folks just couldn't wait. (And yes, I had a bootleg version in my inbox for about a week. I refused to listen...until iTunes started trying to ruin my life) I guess iTunes didn't get the message, because as of this morning, my pre-ordered BP3 had not downloaded into my freakin library!! I tried to be patient, and didn't even trip off not getting it yesterday. I downloaded the new version, I restarted my laptop, and I just knew that iTunes was going to come through for me...I knew absolutely nothing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you iTunes for making me resort to my leaked copy - which is missing tracks #11 and #12 so I can't give a full review - that took 20 minutes to download on my work PC. Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing me that you're not the best of the best, and that you are flawed. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for allowing me to see that you have hate in your blood too iTunes...keeping me from my BP3 bliss was nothing but pure hate.

You can only make me love you if when I return to my humble abode that the entire album is downloaded, and the pdf of the album cover is downloaded, and the exclusive iTunes tracks are downloaded...please do all you can to redeem yourself...it's so necessary!

ciao!!

"Stuntin' Like My Daddy"

If you would've asked me 5 years ago if I would attend a Lil Wayne concert with my father...I would've said yes. For those of you that have experience Mr. Denmon aka my Daddy - you know it's not to far fetched for him. His favorite song right now is "Get Wetter" by Twista...and that says what?

So last night, he and I ventured to Starlight Theatre in Swope Park to experience the music of Mr. Carter and his "...amazing @ss band." It was a last minute deal, as I had no intentions on going since the new hotness Drake had been taken off the bill. But Pops wanted to check it out...and I did hear that Lil Weezy did fab when he was here in January at Sprint Center. So, we made it a Daddy/Daughter date, strapped up, and headed on out...lol - just kidding on the strapped up part...well at least for me...Pops is "Always Strapped."

**SIDE NOTE: Since we arrived at 8:00PM we were not forced to endure the torture of Soulja Boy Tell 'Em and his riff raff. We got there just in time to grab a brats and get it with Young Jeezy!! **

I was impressed with the showcase of talent of Wayne. His presence was strong, his voice was on, he swore he could dance, he wasn't drunk, his audience participation was fab, and I didn't see his underwear!! His catalog of albums, hooks, and random freestyles would have had him on stage for 3+ hours...but he gave us 1.8 solid hours of his most recent and most popular hooks, guest appearances, top hits, and the best of the best from The Carter III.

My Favorites:

• "Phone Home" - I really do think he's a martian.


• "FireMan" - The pyros and the lighting for this were too hott!!


• "Prom Queen" - He made sure we knew he could play the electric guitar.


• "Always Strapped" - Special surprise guest appearance from his Daddy aka Birdman.


• "Go DJ" - Dedicated to his tour DJ...I don't think anyone in the crowd stopped moving during thise one.


• His ode to his favorite rappers: Biggie, Pac, Jay, and himself.


• His three most important things: God, his fans, and his fans.


• "We having a wonderful, extraordinary, super, fantastic f*!king time!"


• Lil' Twist - the cutie patootie came out on a segway...and had a dang mohawk...lol!!

My Not-So-Favorites:

• Ms. Shanelle....wamp, wamp, wamp


• The "Back That Thang Up" performance from his dancers...just wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG!!


• The random members of Young Money Entertainment


• No Drake... :-(


• "How ya'll doing KANSAS?!?" - You're in KCMO...get it right dammit!!

Overall, the show was hot - Mr. Carter gave you your $$$'s worth, and made sure you had a good time. I can appreciate his talent, and his love for music - and if he swings back thru KC again, I'll probably make another appearance.

ANOTHER NOTE: The police presence was ridiculous...all that hype about loitering and safety, and blah blah blah, was just something else to give the media to talk about. It was a Monday night...did they really expect people to tailgate, and just hang out? As the news reported this morning, there were no incidents, and the show was a success...just like it was in January...without all the extra police presence. Hip Hop is not as dangerous as they want you to believe...quit being so terrified, and learn to appreciate some of it.

ciao!!

***-----> Fanatic Plug - BLUEPRINT III - SEPTEMBER 11, 2009...how I wish I could be at Madison Square Garden on that day...

It's been a long time...I shouldn't have left you...

Yes, it's been a while since I've posted something...my initial goal was to have something posted every week in order to best record the randomness that occurs in my life. But, here lately, my life has been somewhat of a whirlwind - I mean past few weeks have been a blast, exhausting, memorable, fun, crazy, exciting, and of course random as all get out!! But, as my little birdie always says, "...such is life."

This is just an introduction to re-install my commitment of weekly reports of randomness. My first entry will be a re-cap of my AMAZING trip to Puerto Rico with some of my fabulous friends.

So blessed that I was able to have such a fabulous trip with my lovely friends, we made a lifetime of memories, that we will cherish forever!!

More to come...

Lying to Kick It

"You ain't gotsta lie...you ain't gotsta lie...you ain't gotsta lie to kick it." - Silkk the Shocker

I thought that the older I got, such nonsense would no longer exist; but what I'm starting to find out...it actually gets worse. One of my biggest turn offs is a liar. Can't stand it...we're grown...what in the hell do you have to lie about? If you're not OK with yourself, then put a plan together, and start taking action on making you the self that you want to be. Or don't say anything at all, unless someone asks you. 80% of the time the ones that are boasting and bragging about what their imagination wishes they had are volunteering that information. No one asked how many bottles you bought at the club last night. No one asked how much your mortgage/rent was each month. No one asked if you had a loft or an apartment. No one asked how long you've had your car. No one asked if you had a new phone on the way cause the one you're using now is a loaner. No one asked any of that. But you are so insecure with who you are, and what you have (like that even matters) that you have to go above an beyond to create this perception that you have it going on...it's not that deep.

Stop faking the funk...it's not sexy...it's not a good look - and in the end you'll have to keep telling more lies to cover the other lies that you used to cover the other lies you used earlier. End the madness now!!

ciao!

P.S. I have a hotcake from Town Topic (my treat) if you can tell me what album that line came from...:-)

RadIoKiLla/RnBGorRilLa

"Call the radio right now...that *bleep* Dream dun put it down again...Dream gon put it down again..."

"If you ain't got no booty then you gotta go home..."

"So everytime that you think of me, know I've been making love to Nikki"

"Call LaTisha yo beautician...cause yo hair is gon need fixin'"

"Girls like you...turn men like me into haters..."

"If she cooks you eggs an grits in the morning...man...you should tip her...you should tip her."

Fun...different...refreshing...exciting...real...spirited.

Mr. Nash has me hooked...and I'm not afraid to admit it. I listen to Love/Hate and Love vs. Money often on the iPod...probably like once a week. I've put a few of my close friends up on his talent, and they're in love as well. It doesn't take much...if you enjoy unique stories that aren't being told by the other R&B crooners out there.

My Top Five (5) are:
5. Love vs. Money (pt 2)

4. I Luv Your Girl

3. Mr. Yeah

2. Falsetto

1. She Needs My Love

If you have an open-mind...and favor the sounds and effects of Prince...you will be able to appreciate The-Dream.

RADIOKILLA!!

ciao!
