Every time the Republicans say something hypocritical or irrelevent…

EIGHT IS ENOUGH.

YES WE CAN.

If you missed Obama’s speech, you lost the most ever.

That was fucking incredible. Barack Obama hit those republican bastards back for everything they said about him. Dude was crazy dope phat ill, and it was amazing to see.

I’m inspired, and this is the greatest moment our generation has ever been a part of. Before tonite the only thing our generation had was 9-11, but now–almost 7 years after that tragedy–our generation of wanderers can all unite and say we were there the day it all changed.

The cynics, the nihilists, and the haters have just officially been proven to be relics of a bygone era.

Change is here.

It’s Go Time.

Fired up and Ready to go,

Before you even walk wit’ me, please know that this isn’t a pity party, it’s just one guy’s (mine) experience dealing with “The System”. All of these bloggers out there talk about keeping it real and being relevent and all that shit, but while they talk the talk, I’m walking the walk. I do hope that people realize that “ether” doesn’t even make a dent when Real Life happens, soooo save the insults because honestly? You’re just wasting your time.

ReyTheHussein: Cameo King.

I was lucky enough to be asked by Eric & Jeff from The Real to appear in their most recent video which celebrates their one year anniversary. Me and my boy Turk met up with them at the NYC Public Library yesterday afternoon and I filmed my little cameo. Both Eric and Jeff are very cool in real life (no pun intended), altho’ they were also really, really friggin’ tall, which just made my 5-7ish self seem mad frodo-like.

 Anyway, thanks to the guys for including me and, by proxy, Alumnah in their clip–It truly is/was an honor.

(you can find Turk at the 1:16 mark on the right, and I’m at the 1:18 mark, also on the right in the red t-shirt)

A magical time in R’n'B. A time called: The Early 90’s.

So earlier today I had Shanice’s “I love your smile” stuck in my head, and in the little section with similiar selections on the YouTube, was this video–S.W.V.’s “Right Here”. Man, this song is awesome. Dope “Human Nature” sample. S.W.V. lookin’ boinkable. Sweet lyrics.

Plus a killer tie-in with Free Willy. (pause?)

Anyway, in this day and age of uber-saturation of Chris “No Vocal Talent” Brown and Rhi “Also No Vocal Talent, Plus I’m Not Really That Hot Even Tho’ For Some Reason NahRight’s Regs Think I’m Hotter Than Beyonce Which Just Proves How Deranged Some Of Those Fuckers Really Are” Anna, it’s hard to remember when r’n'b had good music, well-written music…music that didn’t make me want to shove anchovies in my ears.

Remember ballads? They were those slow, awesome, sensual songs that you could put on and boink to, or belt out in the car. Now? Now all we have is that doubletime shit ala Usher’s “Confessions” or “Burn“, or Mariah Carey’s knock-offs of Usher’s doubletime shit. (Mimi was basically Mariah’s Confessions, thanks to the Shang Tsung of Production (c) Meka Soul, Jermain Dupris). Orrrr even worse, we have an awesome song that SHOULD’VE been a ballad like Ne-Yo’s “Do You” but instead has a completely jarring, grating “hip-hop” beat behind it. (Ne-Yo’s in my cool book tho’)

*breathes, stretches, shakes, lets it go*

Sooo It is in the spirit of that that I present Sisters With Voices’ 1992 hit, “Right Here”. Enjoy the song, enjoy the video, and then help me plan out my eventual Nation Stomping of Chris Brown.

Thanks for checking in,
