remember where you heard it first...

d|^_^|b...aka "Ear Candy"

Wassup people! I know, its been a minute! SOOOOO much has been going on the past couple weeks; worldwide, locally, etc. For me, classes began on the 7th and I've had a roller coaster of a semester so far...not to worry though, things are going well; just concentrating on maintaining. All that said, this post is NOT about school...instead its on the music I've been on since the first day. Reggae/Dancehall music has been BLAAAZIN hot as of 4th quarter last year. Its ridiculous really! And for this Ear Candy session, I'm featuring Roots/Culture/Lover's Rock branch of Reggae. You can almost call this genre the originator or what reggae/dancehall is today. Similar to 'Conscious' branch, the beats, base, and tempo of Roots/Culture/Lover's Rock is very laid back and chill, but still very powerful and sensual. The lyrics add to the effect as well.

Not all of these tracks dropped in the 4th quarter, but the rotation of them came around heavily in/around that time. I'm a huge fan as is, but I'm also highly critical of practically everything, especially music. All that to say I would not give it a pass in any case. But I digress, I'm not here to disappoint in any way, and trust me, these tracks are FIRE, not to mention the mixtapes where I first heard them (Don't worry...its coming...)

These are in no particular order...however...I LOVE duets and spine-tingling baselines...thus the first track on the list! Oh...and that Queen Sheba...hm!

P.S. I wish all the tracks had official music videos...:-/

More Ear candy posts WILL be coming in the near future...til then, peace out and

"RUN DE BLOODCLAAT RIDDIIIIIIIIIM!!!"

d|^_^|b

Bonus! Bonus!

So yeah...the upcomming tracks are more of a hybrid theme, but I just had to share them. 18 and Ova Riddim (the last three vids) and Good Love riddim (The first one) are two of the best in a while...("Jah Cure - Call on Me" RAN AWAY with that Good Love riddim though...crazy). You guys should check out the other tracks on each riddim...well worth it.

Lebron, Kobe, and Chris Cringle vs Blitzen and the Reindeer Crew

I don't know about ya'll...but the MVPuppets are entertaining at the very least. Shouts to Lupe and KRS for their contributions. Dope AND lyrically rated PG-13. Callin Santa Clause Chris Cringle wasa kinda funny too...On another note though, ESPN appearantly loves hip-hop. They been playin tracks from Malice in Wonderland and The Blueprint 3 during various day-time shows. Interesting. Dont believe me? Check out ESPN/ESPN2 around 10-2...

"I mean, I've found ones in the past that I liked, but none that I really loved...

...until now...*insert mouthed explosion sound*"

Best. Beer. Commercial. Ever.

This one comes second...still miles behind the above though

I'm back + Happy New Year + Ten Phrases you MUST NOT use in 2010

First off, Happy New Year everyone! Peace and prosperity for 2010! I got back to the lab (aka my apt) last thursday and I kinda brought in the new year with a bang over the past few days. The weirdest part about the past few new years' is that Laurence has never been here...crazy. I've had to hunt-down different P.I.C. for a while now. And to make matters worse, my cousin all the way in bama and myself felt the same way after the aftermath of it all...

...Nonethelss, I enjoyed myself. Guilty pleasures ftl.


Oh and btw, I'm done with New Year's resolutions. To be honest, (Oops...damnit!...it'll make sense later on in this post) Edit: In actuality, I feel that anything worth changing doesnt recquire 365 and 1/4 days to think about or plan muchless act on. So with that in mind, I started implementing the changes I deemed necessary a few months ago. A work in progress....but godspeed to the better me.

Ranting over...onto the topic at hand....now for ten phrases to avoid using in 2010...


10. It is what it is
This newcomer is the epitome of an ear-grating phrase that means nothing.

9. It's all good
The inclusion of "all" only accentuates how much you don't mean what you are saying.

8. To be honest (I told you it would make sense lol)
Not only is this phrase usually followed by something best left unsaid, but it also implies everything else you say is dishonest.

7. No offense
A phrase even more insincere than it is superfluous.

6. Whatever
In a recent survey, 47 percent of Americans chose this word compound as the most annoying phrase of all. Meaning you have permission to smack anyone who uses it and isn't a 12-year-old girl. (And it's a close call on smacking any 12-year-old girl who uses the "w" word.)

5. Don't get me wrong
Isn't it implicit in most human communication that your intention is always to be correctly understood?

4. With all due respect
Really?

3. Everything happens for a reason
A completely worthless utterance that probably doubles as a vicious taunt to those who have undergone terrible hardships.

2. At the end of the day
At the end of the day, you will be preparing for bed. (With apologizes to John Maynard Keynes.)

1. Going forward
Saying this is like announcing your next footstep.

Hope you guys enjoyed the list! Dont forget to leave feedback and abou that shoutbox on the side...

CHEA!

They're BAA-AAACK!...(well, almost)

Steve, Dwight, Laurence and myself are all avid fans of The Boondocks. It's ridiculous, really. We've seen every episode on multiple occasions and have seasons 1 and 2 on dvd and dvd-rips. So needless to say, we're pretty excited about the news that season 3 is in its final phases of production/distribution.

According to Aaron McGruder's twitter page, The Boodocks: Season 3, is on its a way to a cable-network-that-will-bleep-out-all-the-good-stuff near you. Here's some of his twitpics from screenshots he took of the upcomming season.
