June 15th, Thank Me Later Bitch!

Sitting at home one night prolly about 2-3am in the morning... Prolly later because I'm usually up late... I see a tweet from Drake about following J Prince and UStream... Me being up, decided to follow and check it out... Drake goes live chatting with fans from all over. Both on UStream and Skype he decides to make random calls. All of which were female... Can't blame him there lol. He even gave out backstage tickets to one of his concerts in Texas to a girl he called live. At the end he starts free-styling and comes up with the hook... "June 15th, Thank Me Later Bitch" promoting his album. He also shouts out Lil Wayne heavy. This was about a month and a half ago.

Just a little rewind to a couple of days ago I received a link from a friend. To my surprise it was his album... I was kind of surprised because it was 2 weeks before the album dropped but a lot of tracks were getting leaked 1 by 1. I guess it was only a matter of time. I really didn't want his album to leak but I guess that's just how the industry is. His buzz for this album has been described as parallel to Lil Wayne and The Carter III. This could have been equivalent to about 1.3 million sales as Wayne had... If a lot of his supports are like me... He's got the chance to definitely make that happen.

Looking back to when I first heard a Drake track... I was in "The Cyph House (2)" lol, with Chris Cash, Dj Fragg and Randy. Cash wanted to tell me about him and how he's nice, sings and raps... The first tracks I remember him playing were "I Can Take Your Girl" and "I Want This Forever" (his original version with just Wayne) and Ransom. All featuring Lil Wayne and this could have been in 2007. And I instantaneously became a Drake fan. I saw his name floating around the net but that was the first time I heard him on a track, and I have no recollection of ever seeing a Degrassi episode to know him as Jimmy. The minute I arrived home I was looking for Drake tracks. I found him on various freestyles and even heard his past mixtapes. He was a real calm and collected dude and he didn't over do it in his raps. Even when he began to sing you could still tell he knew when he was doing and knew how to use his voice even if he claims not to me an R&B singer. He wouldn't rap about selling keys (kilogram of a drug) and necessarily too many females and all about jewelry and money. He made his songs on a level I felt I could really relate to even if they were personal experiences he went through. Drake was able to give me what I looked for in a track. Sometimes he came off as cocky but that's not a bad thing to be in this rap game when you’re able to come with as much bars as he has. I wasn't the biggest rap fan back in the day. To this day there are tons of big tracks I don't know, and even Jay-Z tracks I wouldn't be able to recite from his early career. I'm actually feeling like Drake is more of my equivalent to people who say Jay-Z is their favorite rapper. They got to watch, look and listen to his career on a rise and I feel that connection with Drake. Favorite tracks to this day are Ransom, Friends with Money, November 18th, Say what’s Real, Still Fly, Closer, Winner, his verses off Ignorant Shit, Money to Blow and countless others. And even though his album didn't drop yet, my favorite tracks are The Resistance and Up All Night. I favor The Resistance for how personal the song gets and Up All Night for how hard Drake and Nicki come on the track (plus the beat/chorus). Of course the tracks getting regular play on the radio are going to be the ones everyone knows, Miss Me, Unforgettable, Fireworks, Light Up…

I remember reading his article in the XXL Magazine where he said he's the biggest artist right now so on what mindset do him and his listeners meet. But sometimes I felt like if we were in the same shoes when I recite his lines because they relate exactly to a situation, good or bad, that I've been in. He comes from Toronto Canada... And even though a lot of my friends don't know it, I lived in Canada for quite some time while I was growing up. We both grew up in a family where our fathers weren't always there. And all these things help me to look and relate to lines in a lot of songs he has said. We've both probably had our heart broken and I feel like in his songs about females that I can relate whether it's one girl I wanted or a girl that wanted me... Or even just girls that were around. Sometimes I feel like with the things he says... anyone could relate to some of his bars.

Now flash forward to now... Leaving Summer Jam... Just saw my favorite rapper... Hands down. Drake. (I'm not gonna lie... Luda, Trey, Khaled, Fab, and Usher all did they thing... Didn't see ushers whole performance but still he had a lot going on lol). The main reason I wanted to go was to see Drake. I've watched YouTube performances of him but still I don't think anything can compare to it in person. Would have loved to hear some stuff off the album besides just Nicki's verse she did acapella from Up All Night. I don't think I'll get the full experience until I go to an actual Drake show or something that he headlines. Maybe one day I'll bump into him between passing floors of Universal Republic and Universal Motown (where I intern)

His loyalty is unquestionable... "And my dreams are who I'm racing with, but you could see I'm pacing it, so that I'm always chasing it. Wayne put me right here, that's who I get the paper with, I hope that my success doesn't alter our relationship." -Fireworks

Honestly it too many parts to his album I want to go over but that's to recite. I can honestly sit here and listen to his entire album front to back. And I don't think any Drake fan would be disappointed.

While you were sleeping? (Sneaker Post)

While I was looking at the XIs I noticed this tidbit..

"For those of you that bought the Black/Varsity Red VIs just so you could get a taste of the infamous Infrared VI’s, then you might be a little heated when you read this… Jordan fiends flocked to the stores earlier in 2010 to pick up the “new Infrared 6s” without realizing they’re not in fact Infrareds, but Varsity Red 6s. instead No worries, now you have a chance to pick up the real deal…but it’s in a pack. The Air Jordan Infrared VI Pack is stirring up a lot of talk amongst Air Jordan collectors, and there are sure to sell quick. These new Jordans will release on June 19, 2010.
--JordanDepot

I do remember when the Black/Red VIs dropped in early 2010, there was a buzz for them but I wasn't really feeling it. I had just got the Space Jams the month before and remember speaking to the homie BBC Dream saying how I did not like how the VIs that came out looked so I wasn't in much of a rush to get. I wasn't too into the way to the material it looked to be made out of because it wasn't the same as the original.. Hopefully they come correct in June, something similar to the Black/Gold VIs in the (DMP) Defining Moment Package.. Supposed to be around the time Drake Album drops too

Jordan XI (White/Silver)

"Yummmmmmmmmmm" as one of my friends would say..


























These are definitely swwwweeeeetttttt.
Copped it yesterday.. dont really wanna take them out the closet..

"From what we’ve been hearing on Twitter and seeing around the internet, it looks like the new Air Jordan “25th Anniversary” XI’s are a smash. If you’re a Jordan collector but you’re still debating on whether to buy a pair of these Retros, it would probably help to see what they look like in person. (Jordan Release Date: May 1, 2010)"

Blackberry 6

This actually makes me want to stay with blackberry to see what its about. I was thinking about trying one of the new HTC devices or even the iPhone, but I'll stick around. Only thing is they only showed more or less a touch screen version. If its the Storm I home they fixed that screen clicky thing. Making its sensitivity closer to the iPhone

DTF Radio



Tonight I joined my homies Dj Magic, Kreepa, Vlad, and Marie on DTF Radio. It was a nice thing they are starting up. A few rappers we were already familiar with came by.. TFB (The Future Boys). They did their thing for real. 4 dudes and 2 females. Rappers and Singers and Spaz-O stopped in too. It was the second week they are goin with this and theres alot in the works.

Trying

I'm trying to be come on here on a consistent basis but its kinda hard. With there was a blackberry app for me to use to post stuff.. I'm sure there prolly is but I really wouldn't use it. Anyways I'm home just got thru a meeting and it was rather nice. Good food and laughs. Ummmm home now listening to the instrumental of that Gudda Gudda song I last posted in "#NP (Extensive Play )". That's about it for now.. Oh and I have come to realize I want the all white Air Jordan XI coming out next week. Its all white so I'm hoping I keep them clean and prolly will limit my wearing of them. I don't like having sneakers tho and "can't" wear. Never got the point in that. If I have them why would I just never wear them? Then I might as well had not gotten them.

#NP (Extensive Play )

For some reason every day its usually one song that gets extensive playing on my iPhone. Today it was this Gudda Gudda ft. Lil Wayne track titled "I Don't Like The Look". Its off his newest mixtape I heard "Guddaville" and actually makes me feel like listening to it. I first heard it on the radio last week, and it had the Oompa Loompa sample from one of their songs on Willy Wonka/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They are 2 different shows I Just forgot which was first, but the old one... lol. The other 2 Tracks are from 2 Brooklyn artist Preme I've always posted about and the other is Marz aka MarzMoney (@MarzMoney) he remixes "Rich Kids - Partna Dem" to shout out all his fellows..

My Netflix Fix

If you know me you know I love my NETFLIX... lol. Lately I've been watching it on a laptop because my Xbox has the 3 red rings "Of death" lol.

Aside from watching movies they have available I like to watch seasons of shows. My favorite thing before to watch w
as "The Office" and "30 Rock". I went through season 1-5 of "The Office" and 1-3 of "30 Rock" almost at lease twice lol. Then I stumbled upon "The Weeds" which I went through season 1 in one day. Then season 2 in almost the 2nd... Usually I slow up around season 2 on these shows but was stuck because for a while that was the only thing up. Once season 3-5 became available I went through that in about the week. After I finished with "The Weeds" I jus browsed certain things and kept seeing that it was telling me I would like "Arrested Development"... It was acting like it knew me lol... But it was right. I went through season 1 in about the same one day as I was used to. And by the following week I was on Season 2 and 3. Currently I am up to Season 2 of “My Name Is Earl” some how all of these shows have something in common... a little bit of serious, and a lot of funny. Not regular humor, but I guess my kind of humor.

My friend Shotta Dru (http://ifundthemental.blogspot.com) is telling me about "24" which about now has 7 seasons up... that a lot I'm going to have to catch up on lol. I have to start at season one.

#NP

This song has been in my head all day.. You think Drake and Nicki Minaj really mess around? I much rather tracks without tags but this is all I can really find.. The others are tracks I've been listening to as well..

Drake - All Night Long (Tags)








Dirty Money - Hello Good Morning (Remix) (feat Rick Ross & T.I.).mp3









Erik Hassle - Hurtful








PremeDaPrez, Absolut, and Kayla Bliss - I'm Doin Me.mp3

June 26th/27th Braggin Rightz Weekend (more to come)

Like I said we have the Basketball Tournament happening June 26th in Goshen Park. Same spot we had last year with well over 600 people coming out to watch the games, enjoy the food, music and have a nice day. We have teams from all over Brooklyn and trying to incorporate teams from queens. Last year had some really good players that played at various schools and in other tournaments. This year things will be a little more documented. Its a day time event, with things tipping off at 11AM. We have the permit for the park but plan on letting things finish by 7PM. Events are currently being organized for younger kids as well so if your up to it feel free to bring the kids. At this point about 25 people have contacted me about playing in the tournament, but there are only 8 spots. 3 have been technically filled, and are bring done on a first come first served basis. We don't want to wait till last minute to throw everything together. Last year I believe the East New York team took the Championship... Lets see how this year goes.
