9.1 … Mr. Mescudi
MAKE HER SAY – ft. Kanye West & Common — I kinda, sorta, pretty much love this video. A for simplicity.

INTERVIEW w/ Angie Martinez @ HOT 97 — Peep the 2:50 mark…pretty swaggerrific if you ask me.

August 25th, Man On The Moon … Looking forward to it.
8.5 … Definitely Def Poetry
By far my favorite. She couldn’t have said it any better:

“If our ancestors can walk barefoot afraid in the dark for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles, I know we can do this. Come on, let’s start.”

She’s inspiring:

I have no words:

Mixed feelings but you [...]
8.4 … Nas & Damian Marley – Distant Relatives
I’ve never been a big Nas fan but this actually sparks my fancy. I shall be checking for this.
8.3 … Pharrell Pt. 1 & 2 – “Steps to Success”
Part 1:

Part 2:

Can we have more minds like this please? Or simply more people activating their minds? Can we have more people making use of the platform they’ve been given? …Yes?
Jay-Z – D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) (Live At 2009 BET Awards)

8.2 … Jel.Ani
Jelani Newsoul, Jel.Ani,  Jillbread,  Jel Jel, The Next Big Thing. Whatever you want to call him, before you know it you will be calling him something.
My dear friend Jelani is a beast. Simply put. He is soon approaching his 21st birthday and already released his debut double-disc album Black Nostalgia. This album is certainly one [...]
8.1 …. Music Videos of the Week
Well done:

I said it once and I’ll say it again. Whoever got the gig to play the sax for this live will have gigs for life. No question.
I enjoyed it:








I love his voice. Definitely want to see him live at some point. He has one of those voices that when you hear it you feel [...]
7.8 ….. Gnarls Barkley – Crazy (Cover)
And I’m back again. For my second act I present my rendition of Crazy by the fabulous Gnarls Barkley. The feedback I got on Facebook was “haunting.” Wasn’t expecting that but I kinda dig it! haha

Enjoy.
7.7 ….. Reminders on why I LIVE/LOVE music.
Bobby McFerrin is one of the greatest living musicians, in my opinion. He is a totally well rounded musician with all sorts of influences and talents. When I was in high school I was in a show at Georgetown University. We were performing Carmina Burana and Bobby was conductiong. Later in the show, for some [...]
7.6 ……. Street Lights (Cover) by Moi!
So when you’re up and have that energy flowin, you find yourself a piano and just let it happen. “It” may be different for all of us but on this night, 808s was “It” for me. Good thing it only took three chords and some patience!

“See I know my destination but I’m just not there…”
[...]
7.5 ……. Listen Carefully.
Well, damn.
7.8 ……. Pharrell Discusses the Industry.
At least someone speaks the truth. Now, what is he going to do with it?

“Where is the talent?”
7.0 ……. I’d love for someone to justify this…
And she has a record deal? Really, at the end of the day, all I can do is laugh. This is hilarious, ridiculous, and just tragic all in one! I must admit, she has gotten better. The last album wasn’t awful but I’m glad I didn’t purchase it. But it’s things like this that raise [...]
6.7 …… CraigLewis Kills.
What do you get when you put two amazing, yet distinctly different and unique voices together?:
CraigLewis. Get familiar!
My personal favorite:

(Let us excuse the bgvs on this…it’s just not meant for everyone.)
This is the obvious fan favorite, justly:

Lewis, the darker skinned fellow, is my personal favorite. His voice has so much purity and clarity! It’s such [...]
6.4 …… Global Warming.
3650.
