VV Brown "Leave"

the music video is crazy sick
[Propz to VV]
who knew all you needed was a BOX

Im telling you VV is killing it with these upbeat sad songs
(ex: "Crying Blood" from a previous post)

check it out


VV Brown - Leave

3 New Artists [Mikeman approved]

NEW ARTIST
*ALERT*
VV Brown, O'Neal McKnight & Sweet Rush



VV Brown - Crying Blood
VV Brown is a brit and is a very theatrical singer/songwriter. Her blend of pop/r&b/indie/punk/soul is incredible...
her song "Crying Blood" is pretty raw and live tho such sad lyric for a upbeat song but great metaphor crying blood cuz breakups are literally like crying blood as weve all either seen or felt
very catchy - worth the listen



O'Neal McKnight - Check Your Coat
I F*CKIN' LOVE the song!
O'Neal is is from South Carolina and is definetly holding it down for R&B
He's reminiscent to the greatest Michael Jackson with his real smooth, party & futuristic music! I love this dude. Im def buying his album Prom 2088 coming out later this year if Diddy doesnt F*CK his career up!
this jam is addictive and makes your wanna groove



Sweet Rush - Hot Sause
Sisters (Iman & Siham) of Sweet Rush are born in Somalia & raised in Toronto, Canada and picked up by Konvict Records. I like theyre flava and how they do what they do...

Making the Band 4 previews

MTB4 Season 4 Trailers


So excited about this!
NOT SO much about it possibly being the final season.
[ya never know with Diddy & his "Making the Bands"
e.i. Dream, O-Town, Da Band & countless other solor artist]

I have sooooo many questions:
-what's up with Day26?
-is Donnie's career over?
-i didnt see Shannon was my previous blog about her leaving the group true?
-is DK reuniting?
[Id be beyond happy if that were so LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!]
-is Danity Kane now a duo? (Dawn & Andrea)
-will Diddy cast more girls of DK doesn't remain?
-how's Q & Dawn?
-when's the supposed DK album coming out? Is it coming out?
-Is there a Danity Kane?
-will the boys disband?
-will there be any new solo stars?
-what surprises does Diddy have in store?
-is Aubrey a lezbo?
-whats up with D. Woods?

all these questions plague my mind and rushed like Niagra Falls when i saw the MTB4 promo

The Real World: BROOKLYN episode 3

The Real World: BROOKLYN
episode 3

main characters

Katelynn the transgendered chick
is feeling lonely missing her boyfriend Mike ultimatly companionship... Later from im guessing loneliness she freaks some dude at a bar and makes out with some chick
(drinking was involved but the chick is just a freak)
Basically Katelynn needs love so she decides to date despite having a man


Devyn the black girl
&

Scott the fitness model
kinda have a thing for each other...kinda
(finally a predictable house hook up)
it all started with Scott making some chicken and slapping Devyn with the meat. An odd form of "flirting" but funny.
She makes a BF-O-METER measuring their "friendness" cuz shes really digging the dude and wanting to be with him. Scott bring over a girl friend not a girlfriend - semi awkward for Devyn who likes him and thinks she does too. She doesnt & girl talks with her yet is getting mixxxed signals from him on whether he like her or now.
But Scott has a girl so yeah...
Damn his decieving hugs haha

lastly

Ryan, an Iraq vet
plays a guitar and decides to pursues it
So when the cast went to club, they Baya & Ryan meet up with a record label guy, he tells him about his music..yada, yada, yada they meed up another day @ Crush Management for undiscovered artists where Ryan wants to record music, Baya wants to dj and Chet wants to host
[By the way, Ryan can really play i love his music especially that song "Liar" is you saw it]
Ryan meets an producer and basically gets shut down
not that its not good music but he should get a following first

2nd Semester

...so my second semester @ GCC
[GLENDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE]
in Glendale, Arizona started after MLK Day.
My classes are MAT 120, ENG 101, HUM 190 & ACC 190

-Math is lame. Math is the devil.
-English looks like it'll be fun. I had AP English in high school so this will be an ease
-Humanities is very involved...its an honors class on leadership
-Accounting...will suck ass but im a business major so i gotta take it

Overall, I think this semester will be better than the last
yet harder at the same time.

bring it second semester!

Madcon vs The Saturdays - Beggin'

My NEW FAVOURITE SONG is
Madcon - Beggin'
&
The Saturdays - Beggin'


Madcon
[Tshawe Baqwa & Yosef Wolde-Mariam]
are a Norwegian hip-hop/rap group

&

The Saturdays
[Rochelle, Mollie, Una, Vanessa & Frankie]
are a UK Pop/Dance/Electropop 5 piece girl group

both recorded the same song...sorta
Madcon of Norway first covered this older song as thier first single from thier new album So Dark The CON of Man...
Then as a new group, The Saturdays of England covered their song and it became a hit! They're getting nothing but good reviews from it!

The difference in the songs are as different as pop and hip-hop are!
If you want hip-hop and that delivery
download the MADCON version of "Beggin'"
If you want the catchy pop version you can sing to without the rap in between
download THE SATURDAYS version of "Beggin'"


Madcon - Beggin'


The Saturdays - Beggin'


It's your call
Tell me what you think
I love both versions
& have to play them back to back
cuz I love the song that much!

The Real World: BROOKLYN

Sorry its late.
The season already started but THE REAL WORLD has always & forever been my SHIT! Since I was old enough to watch it...
Hell, since i started watching MTV

Anyways here's my take on it...

The Real World BROOKLYN

Cast
[Devyn, JD, Sarah, Katelynn, Scott, Baya, Chet & Ryan]

Devyn is the lone beautiful black girl (former Kansas Beauty Queen)
JD is gay (which "ppl" must know) and is just cool, I think imma like him the best, hes the responsible one outta all and just idk I see alot of similar quality in him in me. Hes a good person to me, Oh and Latino!
Sarah is real interesting and tatted real good (former lesbian)
Katelynn haha is a transgender and so therefore deals with that
Scott is Mr. Muscle, gym trainer, been in the gym since 14, rated best abs etc... but hes not that jock personality so is pretty cool
Baya is a cool dancer chick (hip-hop dancer)
Chet haha k this dude is from Salt Lake City, Utah, Mormon and is very questionable but thats just cuz hes lived a shelterd life and hasnt been exposed to alot of life. Oh and his attire is a straight HELL NO like...idk what
Ryan an Iraq vet so hes seen & been thru alot. He claims to be able to figure ppl out after taking wit them for 5 min and hes whole deal just pisses me off...I only sympathizes with the dude once.

Overall, its too early to typecast (most of the cast) or say anything major about this season but im sure it'll be good as always


Ill definetly keep yall posted on The Real World & all its controversies :)

Quinceañeras

[For those who dont know]
A Quinceañera first & foremost is a hispanic/latino thing just had to let yall know cus not everyone is up to par on us Latinos.
But anywyas a quinceañera is a celebration of (hispanic) girl's 15^th birthday. The celebration partay is a gatherration of family & friends, God, food, music and dance. Plenty other of things happen too...U just gotta be up on culture.

But as a CUBAN, I've been in 3 quinces as a chambalan (male dancer) having to dress up in a tux & learned the different dances with a couple in time to preform it, the whole SHE-BANG!

So in all, going to 7 quinces: attending 4/participating in 3....
IT FEELS GREAT not to being in anymore. Ive outgrown the age limit to be part of the quince girl's court and i can just watch, enjoy, commentate & critize on other's. I mean learning the dances, hanging & getting to know the other chambalans & madrina with other ppl is cool and all the other tomfoolery is great and all
But....Shit, its Hardwork!

So now I'm just spectating & get my salsa y merengue on!

Lastly but not least
my fav of the 3...



SOPHIA FRESH
Smash Hit: What It Is?
Signed to NAPPY BOYYYYY! by T-Pain
Sophia Fresh, Cole Rose, Skye & Crystal are the hottest girl group from Hotlanta. These girls are unbelieveably sexy and hood as hell. Each of them bring a different elememt to the group making each song a hit as these homegirls just smash it on every track. Cole Rose is the singer/rapper of the group and voice is justly so with a voice deep & full of bass rockin' a red fauxhawk. Skye the one with curly blonde hair and a the good girl vibe with the with a voice rhymic & jazzy takin lead vocals. While Crystal aka Black Barbie got that long black hair whose voice just flows light & effortlessly. So beautiful & So full of swagga this group! Lives In Da Club was the first song by them and my a hit. I played it 24/7 like no other. Then they started dropping hits after hits like Superbad, What It Is? Elevator Music, Drop It & I've loved themever since.
Get Up on these chicks...Im telling you they the bizness!

We got...



ELECTRIK RED
Song: Drank In My Cup
Sarah, Naomi, Lesley & Binkie
make up Def Jam's new musical project Electrik Red under The Dream's guidance. But the thing about this group is that Electrik Red are some raunchy dirrty sexy girls & I love em for that. The girls are all ex-video girls/dancers so they all can sing & dance (or it just so happens that they can sing & dance) and just ooze sexyness on the track. They personalities are definetly the life of any party. Their vibe is like a surge of sexy playful urban-ness that ruling doesnt fall anywhere between pop or r&b. This group is the shit! Drank In My Cup is their club joint and it so breathy & the video is like a sexy club joint so u know the girls are down to party. Friend Lover is about a damn jumpoff and the rules to it. Electrik City, Freaky Freaky are some their other sexy songs & We Fuck You is my joint, the beat is bangin and their shameless bout it...especially proclaimin'

"Ya'll dont fuck us,
NIGGA! We Fuck You, you, you....

Here’s my 3 lil bomb ASS girl groups of 09
I bet on these three groups to blow up this year


DEAR JAYNE
Song: Rain
Dear Jayne is comprised of Jazmine, Ashley & Lindsey.
[Ashley's the two-tone blonde & brown locks, Jasmine (my fav) is the one with the red D. Woods cut & Lindsey got the jet black straignt hair]
And these girls can SANG!!! Their album Voice Message is truly a great title cuz everyone of thier song are like voice messages to "us" dudes doing wrong! They got amazing voices like I already said & each girl can hold thier own in the group...theyre definetly the future of urban/R&B music. I mean they definetly got the lady anthems with "Fall Back" feat The Dream & "Thats a No No"
