"16 @ War" by Karina Pasian

if Alicia Keys was 16 years old, this would defintely be a song of hers. the first time i saw this video i remembered being that age and feeling as though there was no one to relate to. Pasian really did a good job touching issues that affect 99.9% of all teenagers everywhere whether it's sex, problems at home, or just wanting to fit it.

"Wackness" movie trailer

so this is my morning routine: the alarm goes off and i hit snooze about five times, then i turn my tv to Fox 5 morning news. so this morning was unlike any other as i laid in bed listening to what was going on in the world wishing i could just stay in bed. as i was listening i heard about an independent film called "Wackness" that takes place in 1994 and embodies the NYC hip-hop culture of that time--ok so now my eyes are open. then i heard the reporter say that Method Man and Mary-Kate Olsen were also featured in the Sundance Audience Choice winning film--i'm rolling over to face the tv. lastly they had M-E-T-H-O-D Man on the show this morning to interview him about his role--I'M UP!! the movie is basically about a teenage guy who sees a shrink and pays him with weed and i'm assuming encounters some journeys along the way. from viewing the trailer it seems to be a very interesting and entertaining film. it comes out next week and will only be in NYC.

hot tranny mess

all evening while i was out in BK yesterday there was one catch phrase that kept popping out of my mouth "hot tranny mess". lol the Christian Soriano witty-cisms have been plaguing my brain after reading an article about the most recent Project Runway winner in the current issue of Elle. well i found an SNL skit poking fun at the fierce designer.

i love The Soup

Joel is the funniest guy with his witty dry sense of humor. this clip is from a few weeks back but always has me laughing. it's Reba McEntire fumbling over some lyrics. but that's not the funny part--it's the lady who's mocking her that has me going and i don't know why lol. check it out.

hey mr. Carter

so i finally listened to the whole Lil Wayne cd ( i couldn't get past 'mr. Carter" ft. Jay-Z) and here is my opinion on it. he definitely starts off hard for the first group of songs. from "3 peat" to the end of "comfortable" ft. Babyface i was giving the gorilla face and howling "oooh wee". sadly i got lost on "phone home" which the title of course just says ET. "tie my hands" with Robin Thicke does pull me in for a moment because he's talking about New Orleans and its trials. but i'm gone again on "Mrs. Officer" with Bobby Valentino--not good. however Dwayne begins to build back up with "let the beat build" and the cd is pretty doable until the end. and as for "lollipop", as much as i cringe whenever i hear that song on the radio it did find myself bobbing to... so it's all good.

let me say this much, Lil Wayne has definitely surprised me--thank God. you should go get this album and add to the 1 million plus sales that Weezy has acquired in a week.
