GLC and Kanye ' SpaceShip'
It is Friday and I know many people feel this way. If you happen to be one of those people who feel as if one more thing goes wrong you will blow a gasket. Then take a minute and allow the song to vent for you.

Late Class ::: Rihanna Heats up daily
There are many stars on that walk of fame and I think it that it has room for one more. Rihanna simply put, once she proves that she can grow in all directions with her music, then taking it up a notch with experimentation, she will be unstoppable. On top of that she is working with a Coach in NY to cultivate her acting chops. That will be something that I will keep my eye on, for sure.
But please tell me how sweet it is to look at her in this video. When she gets a bit more cultivated she will have more depth to her character. I look forward to her bringing that to the big screen and her music.
Look at her latest stint in the Mr. West's new video 'Paranoid'

Tracks with message :::: Goodie Mob, Nas, Rakim, Mos Def and Kanye West
Underrating or forgetting something seems to be the norm in our society. We are more attracted to the polished shoe instead of the one that last longer or the new pair forgetting how far the old pair brought us in our journeys. We tend to seek out that which catches our eyes, therefore forgetting the prime component of quality or longevity.
With an abundance of copy cat raps, and bikinis alongside mediocre music. I think many have forgotten the messages. So allow me to remind you that their is some real out there and it will not leave those who seek understanding and vibe banging tracks at the same time.
I need to start this off with a potent turn in Hip Hop.
Kanye West 'Jesus Walks'
Jesus Walks Kanye West featuring Mase
Yes I gave you a butt load of version and remakes. I hope you enjoyed it.

Oprah, Forest Whitaker, Kanye, Mary J Blige responds to Obama Speech
Here is the speech that will shake the world for years to come.
I have been left speechless after sitting on my couch, and jumping off of the thing to clap loudly till my neighbors heard me from across the street. Since I live amongst many McCain Supporters I am sure now that they realize who I am voting for.
I find my self feeling an vibe filled chill run down my back every time I think of this speech. As for Oprah, Kanye west, and Mary J Blige, my world will never be the same. My confidence has reached a new level. No one can take away form me what I am. They will have to accept that I will now offer to the world who I am and with Confidence to break down all obstacles.
Oprah Referred to the king speech. Allow me to share that speech with you.
Now this will get kind of long so take your time and be patient the world is about to begin a process to a better place and one of the architects to this new world is Martin Luther King.
I have a DreamI am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹

Video Premier :::: Farnsworth Bentley, Kanye West, Andre 3000 and Sa- Ra ' Dont Stop'
If Rappers had the balls that they say they had. They would lighten up and show a lighter side. However I think they are not up to the challenge and do not have what it takes like these gentleman. Every time Andre 3000 hit the mic, he bring something fresh and clean.
If only Hip Hop took his cue and went with it.
I a not saying that any one genre of Hip Hop is wrong or right, however I would like to point out that it needs a chill pill.

Music Video Premiere :::: Flashing Lights V. 3
Kanye is the king of making a statement. However it is becoming apparent that he is pulling a Jesus Walks video stunt with more than one version of a single, visual display. I guess he wants to make the point and that he is doing. I love the who done it version, this is awesome and he is proving that he is a force to be reckoned with everyday. Lyrically it fits right in, and it allows those who are used to dumb down rap, to get it. I hope, because I have no faith in our educational system(s).

Video Premiere :: Usher F/ Young Jeezy " Love in this Club"
This video has a very interesting treatment. The concepts looks as if it could be another version of Yeah and then you realize the possibility he is telling a story about his life or the life around him. I think Usher did another bag up job and the reigning prince of Pop, is going to have to go to battle with Lord Usher.
With Young Jeezy on the Track and Polow da Don laying down the beats, along with cameo appearances from Diddy, Kanye west, and Keri Hilson . You have another club classic as well as a get the mood right type of song. Way to go Usher! Welcome back.
After she whispered in Ushers ear, I now know why any wife could possibly be mad(afraid), or why the rumor was started in the first place that Keri Hilson is shaking up Ushers wife.
With out further ado :

Live Video ::: Kanye West and the Murakami Exhibition @ BMOA
Kanye West can be found anywhere on the planet at this point. He pops up in the most obscure of places and although the Murakami Exhibition is a place that you may expect his eccentric-sheik to show up, his being there tells you that he has a clone of some sort, because the guy dose not sleep or it appears that way.
Setting the Hip Hop World back on track is not enough for him!
Gold Digger:
Here is a bonus freestyle video at the Murakami Exhibit:

Where did that come from ::: Killing Me Softly and Through the wire
Fugees - Killing me Softly
Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly
Allow me both the original and the hip Hop version, either way you go you receive a classic. My purpose of this post is to give you a chance to see that if two things combine you can make beautiful music. More of a gap has been bridged with the song Killing me softly.
Allow me to show you more example. I hope that you have the time.
Kanye West, John Legend, Miri Ben Ari - Through the Wire
Chaka Khan - Through the fire
Now after listening to these songs I hope that you now have been reminded the value of merging generation, people, and bridging gaps to get an opportunity to show that their is more in common when ideas work for uniting a cause, and ideas.
Enjoy your weekend
