4.21.09 [POETRY JAM]

at 5 o'clockPM i witnessed JHS's first Slam Poetry Jam presented by SpokenInk

it was pretty fun

I was offered a chance to be the Sacrificial Poet but I know cant spit so the offer was declined

it was pretty cool how during Slam Poetry there are 2 judges selected from the crowd which really gets us involved

ROUND ONE was dope...even though my cam' died mid-way through G's performance

so during intermission I ran to CVS to cop some batteries

and to my luck when I got back ROUND TWO had already started and once again I missed G on stage

 everyone was pretty impressive

even those who I pre-judged (no names named)

but check out the pic's from the Jam

and the winner is G

ZaK & Tra put up a very good fight tho

here's Tra's piece on a males thought process behind his actions and words

and since my cam' died while G was spittin' ill post his ROUND ONE performance from way back

until the Hillside v. Jordan Slam,

4.18.09 [WALE @ CAT'S CRADLE]

im back and in full effect after my last adventurous 3 days

many of you know Wale came to Cat's Cradle on Thursday, April 16th and it was soooo fun

act's such as Kooley High, J. Cole and Colin Munroe opened for him

[background] Kooley High is a trio from Raleigh, NC currently have a older tape out "Kooley is High" that was given out for free at the concert and a newer one that was 5$ a piece...not sure of the title

J. Cole is an artist from Fayetteville who is the newest signee of Jay-Z's new label "RocNation" and he is absolutely bananas. You can see him on Youtube with Green Lantern kickin' a freestyle and if you give me a day or so a video from the concert of him, Wale and the female member from Kooley High spittin' on stage

Colin Munroe was quite a surprise. The place went from a hip-hop vibe and made a slight turn to rock and roll which way different from what i expected. Little did I know but later found out that Colin was the dude singing in the Flashing Lights Remix that many have heard singing "i want those, i want those flashing lights". That being his last song Tevin & I THOUGHT this would be a perfect oppurtunity for Wale to make his big entrance considering that he does have a verse on the remix but little to find out, we would be dissappointed with our hypothesis being untrue. 

WALE was the "bessstt". I mean he knew from the get-go that NC really supported him, we had Cat's Cradle packed to the rim forreal and he aknowledged that in his first sentance of getting on stage. My dude gave us an hour and fifteen minutes of PURE ENTERTAINMENT, now seriously, who do you know thats a hip-hop artist that can give you an hour + show with such a following that everybody still knows 75% of the words you spittin'? now thats what I call support. I was like a kid in a candy store, a child that just enjoyed my food and still have the remains of my drink on my upper lip as I cheese...Kool Aid Smile. In my mind I was on stage with him and I guarantee I knew more of the lyrics to all of the songs that anyone in that damn place. When you see the video or should i say clip's I post you will hear me spit in even the verse thats supposed to be a "freestyle" nahh I caught him slippin' cause it was only me and him spittin' and everybody else was silence during this point. Young Chris tagged along and performed a few joints, Tre of UCB sang a couple of hooks, UCB provided the authentic go-go sound to the stage and 9th Wonder just stood back and soaked what was going on in front of his eyes. You could really tell that he didn't wanna leave us because he tried to do his exit act about 4 times but always came back to stretch his time on stage frome one more song to one more song to this is my last song to nahh now this is my last song haha it was great how he allowed people to join him on stage at the end and just rap with him and take pictures and stuff. David Banner kicked a pretty dope freestyle that was like 2 bars and made the crowd oohh and ahhh...I wish I was apart of the on-stage recking crew but atleast I can be proud to say that my first concert was a WALE concert and that I am honored to have been apart of it. And you KNOW the concert was good when people who aren't even WALE fans *cough [Zeina] have a good time and say the enjoyed it. :) 

and if you were there you know what this video is about if you weren't then im sure you can find many Wale @ Cat's Cradle vid's on Youtube...believe me i've looked so yeah check this out

my title "Wale says goodbye to the Twitter hype"

you want more photos...hit up my FlickR

ill post the clip's via Youtube sometime tomorrow

4.13.09 [YOUTUBE]

Youtube used to be a website in which i simply visited to view freestyles by the Money Ave. crew or watched e-famous battle rappers like Loaded Lux and MurdaMook but now its become something wayyyy bigger. 

Youtube has become my new-age Wikipedia, providing me with information that is simply mind-boggling and not to forget way more entertaining that simply reading these fun facts. It has become the deal-breaker in many different products that aren't right-now available for me to view for myself so I depend on bloggers/reviewers opinion in deciding what choice I will make such as the Acer eeePC 1000HE, Samsung NC10 and the Samsung NC20, all laptop's that are neck-and-neck in competition right now. 

I go to Youtube because most likely if someone hasn't wrote about a topic, then they have mad a video about it. A perfect example of my last statement happened a few months ago when I was first accepted to A&T. I was looking to research about different dorm buildings and wanted to seek the general publics opinion or atleast see what they really look like inside due to NCA&T's obvious bad depiction of the room via PAINT... but yeah, didn't find much on Google until I actually searched on Youtube "NC A&T Dorm" or something like that... then appears a video called like "MTV Cribz: NC A&T Edition" and im like yessssss, time for a tour of the room, and Youtube came through for me in the end, swaying me to apply for Aggie Village, Pride Hall and Aggie Suites on my Housing App.

It's just so unbelievable how video's of people unboxing electronics racks up as many views as they do...and to tell you the truth, I buy into it like the general public. I have viewed vids of people unboxing Samsung Netbooks, Macbooks, Vaios and Acer's just because i'm on the hunt for a new laptop for college and a decision has to be made within' the next few months. I've watched netbook sellers compare boot-up times between netbooks, hundreds of laptopmag reviews, pointless ass videos of people playing WoW on their Samsung to show the quality of gameplay, etc. So yeah, lets just leave it at that.

Currently Youtube is ranked #4 on my top nine visited websites on my Google Chrome Browser and i wont be surprised if it surpasses facebook for the #1 spot over the next 30 days. 

Who knew Youtube would reach a high enough level of my daily life for me to one day blog about?

I sure didn't

N.T.Wayz,

Goodnight Everyone

before i catch some zees, since were talking about Youtube...here's the video of the week

4.11.09 [DESKTOP]

i figured it was time for a new background and a dock update

and why not now? i mean wale's gonna be in town on thursday, april 16th at cat's cradle...

i will definately be in attendance soo look out for me

pictures will be taken

my voice will hopefully be gone

nike boots may be worn...maybe not

but on that tip here's a throwback wale joint

"UPTOWN ROAMERS"

4.8.09 [ViDEO OF THE WEEK]

Julian Smith is hilarious...if you enjoy facebook then you can relate

and it should cause you to ROFL so just watch it 

4.7.09 [CHAMPIONSHIP]

damn...i must admit it

AJ, Barack Obama and Dre were right

UNC has made it to the championship

but im pretty sure NO ONE guessed that Michigan State was gonna defeat two, number one seeds

in Pittsburg and UCONN other than those diehart MSU fans

Many felt the dynamic trio Pitt had in Fields, Young, and Blair would destroy everybody

Many felt the near All-Star squad UCONN had in Thabeet, Robinson, Adrien, Price and Walker were too deep to and big underneath the basket to be beat

Many felt Louisville won the championship in the best conference in the country which could easily equate to a NCAA title

personally my bracket was destroyed from the beginning because i believed in my ACC schools but they all let me down

In the end, UNC made it to the championship and Duke didn't make it sooo yeah

You Tar Heels will hopefully do a dance tonight because next year

you will be doomed and plagued by a very-youthful all-american squad that lacks experience
