Rick Ross over Barry White - Even Deeper

It's always nice when you can borrow something great and turn it in to something also quite great!
Officer Ricky decided to borrow sum' sum' from Barry White.
This song is so chill, I just feel like pulling out a cigar and drive down to Vegas and pop a bottle.
Happy New Years!

 

Monster video

When I first heard Kanye West's album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" I was a bit skeptic to whether I'm approving this transformation Kanye is doing in his career. When I heard Chris Rock's skit at the end of "Blame Game", I approved. I even more so approved when I heard "Monster" feat Rick Ross, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver. THIS IS MY JAM! Bon Iver's contribution is amazing!
Third single off his album and of course the videos will speculate illuminati talk but F* that.
The video leaked yesterday so the quality isn't the best, but enjoy!

Corinne Bailey Rae - Closer (Live)

Corinne Bailey Rae is such a talanted lady.
This is one of my favorite CBR tracks, and here she is performing live in Willingsburg.
Side note: it looks as if she put her one-piece on wrong.... like the head is supposed to fit where her shoulders are... hmm... freaky.

Enjoy!

Live Love Life


Today I am just loving and appreciating life.
Are you?

2011 NBA All Star Pick


The NBA All Star 2011 (in LA!!!) is less than two months away from today.
I've picked my east and west coast nominees and they are....

WEST: Carmelo, Odom, Fisher, Kobe and Demarcus
EAST: Stoudemire, Deng, Rando, Wade and Howard

I decided to eliminate LeBron this year, simply because he is a diva and I read that he wanted companies to sponsor his up&coming birthday with at least $500,000 a piece.
Nigga calm down.... 

Go to http://www.nba.com/ and draft your pick for the 2011 game!

The old P!nk

I'm probably one of many that prefer the "old/first" P!nk. The R&B P!nk.
I know she generated more with her rocky style, but I really liked her first album that she released.
She was still rocky and anti-man attitude was still there, lol.
"Most girls" which is one of my personal favorites was released 2000 through LaFace. Enjoy.

What is Christmas really about?

Good question.
Some will say it's about presents, snow and good food. Others will say it's about gathering loved ones in one place and spend "quality time". A third party will say it's all about Jesus and religion.
Being in California, and the sun is actually shining, I am a bit confused.
It feels like April and the Christmas spirit that I'm brought up with doesn't seem to match.
I guess I don't have the answer to that question this year, but feel free to check back next year, same time.
What I can say tho, is that this song is always a must every December.
Merry X Mas!

NFL vs NBA

Ever since moving to the US, I've tried my best to adapt to some of the "typical American stuff".
In-n-Out burger has by far been a big success ^_^
When it comes to sports, NBA really caught my attention the most, because I already knew about it from before.  As far as the most popular sports out here, NFL Football.... not so much.
Lately I've been hanging around football fans and what not and I've been able to pick up on the ruleing of the game. Many would say that I watch it for the player's sake, but franklin' I can't see them and they all have the same ass shape so there's no win for me in that department.
The sport is definitely more interesting when you know the rules and regulations, but I still have a long way to go.
Thank God for the commentators!
Today I watched the Colts my team alongside Giants and Bears) lose to the Cowboys in overtime and I've decided to hang in my football jersey and bring out the dusty Kobe 24.
NBA, I'm home!!!

Keri Hilson, a dirty bird waiting to spread her wings?

When Keri Hilson was recognized as an recording artist summer 2009, I was totally feeling her music.
It was something different, and it was a "girl power" theme.
I recall an interview she had with the magazine 944, where she mentioned that women need to work harder than men in the music industry and nothing is giving to you for free etc. She also mentioned that, and I quote "I pity the woman who feels that they can just rely on their looks or whatever"..... Hmmm....
On December 14th 2010, her second album "No boys allowed" hits the shelves and again it has a "girl power" theme that every woman embraces. Well done Keri.
Last week her new music video "The way you love me" featuring Rick Ross "leaked" out the dirty version and got x amounts of hits within a day.
I think Keri is a very beautiful lady with more talent writing hits rather than delivering, but c'mon son....
you know damn well it's all about looks and that's the only reason she is still sumwhat' relevant today.
Image and sex sells today so why not just confess?... It's all we're asking from ya girl.
From what I can recall, she is always semi nude in her music videos and phto spreads.
"I got the kind off pussy that keeps you off the streets....." Say no more! o_O
Browse the web for the music video since her record lable managed to snatch back many of the videos that have been floating around!


"In any industry, as a woman, you have to demand respect because it’s not something you are given on a silver platter. That’s why I am where I am today, because I fought. It’s survival of the fittest. I have been blessed with the mentality to not see a stop sign as a stop sign. No one is going to give you anything in life. I pity the woman who feels that they can just rely on their looks or whatever. Professional women have to have a one up on men just to get the same amount of respect."

Lanvin fur at Elyse Walker

I am far from a big fur fan (not because I love animals!!) but when I came across this little Lanvin masterpiece on http://www.elysewalker.com/ , I fell in love.
It's $4,300 in the sale (after 50% off!!!!!) but it looks totally awsum' and cozy.
Check out their website, got loads of SALE stuff and new arrivals!

Beyonce Fever

It really doesn't matter if you like Beyonce's music or not.
It's about delivery. What she has done in her career.
She has a powerful voice, she works hard, you can't even clown her even if you wanted to. Yeah I hear a lot of people (hi Chris lol) say that she went from singing about your man paying your bills to independent women anthem. If you actually listen to "Bills, Bills Bills" then you would know that she asks for the man to pay the bills if he is using her car without filling up the gastank, or after calling his mama and all his boys and the bill comes all of a sudden he be acting dumb.... With that said, enjoy her ABC Thanksgivings Special 2010 if you missed it or you don't live in the USA.


Not the best quality but you get the bigger picture....

Putting Sweden on the MAP!

I must say that I'm really proud of Sweden and it's music scene.
Swedish Housemafia, Robyn and Tim Berg are one of few that really paved way for Sweden in the house-music industry. Alongside H & M, IKEA, Volvo and Elin Woods, I see a powerhouse reform. (ook maybe not, lol)



Thanks to Adam for putting me on this track!

Nicki Minaj Pink Lipstick for MAC

A while back, whilst watching "Hello Goodmorning" remix with Nicki Minaj, I couldn't help but notice her barbie pink lipstick. My gut told me it was a MAC lipstick but ofcourse there was nowhere to find out.
I went to the MAC store and found a similar shade, but not quite the one.
On yesterday's episode of Wendy Williams, where Nicki was guest, it was announced that Nicki is coming out with a candy pink shade lipstick for MAC! DING DING DING!
It'll be a limited edition that's being launched November 26th via http://www.maccosmetics.com/
It's only gonna be available for the next 4 consecutive friday's after the 26th so snatch yours while supply lasts! I know I'll be stacking up mines.
Hope it suits me!
Yours truey,


Who is Mary Gold?
