I Support.. Good Blogs.

First is "FlyFanBase" started by Kwame Morton. This blog is starting to take off. I commend the big things that they have in store for The AUC. I hope that I'll get to get on their level sometime soon. Shoutout to their CEO Chris Taylor. That dude is hilarious. Keep up with them. They're doing big things.

Next is "In My Feelings" by Jazmin Garrett. This blog is truly from her heart. She expresses herself beautifully through her writing in her blog posts. Her writing would definitely be a blessing to anyone who reads it.

Finally "Original Fani" by Fani Jetson. lol; I know that's not his real name but that's what everyone should know him as. His blog is one that I go to everyday. He has the latest on music fashion and events. I'm trying to get as established as him.

FacetStudio: Check Him Out.

This guy is super talented. If I was in Atlanta while he was I would definitely do a shoot. But since I'm not I'll share with you. Don't miss out. He's only there for a while. That boy good.! And he's fine. =)

Beauties.

I absolutely love classic beauties. They make me feel like I should have live in the fifties. I would have thrived.! But unfortunately I wasn't and now all I'm left to do is admire and share with you.

A Poem For My Nightlight.

damn gucci i thought we had longer.
i was just starting the process of trying to make this friendship stronger.
the in love thing didn't work out so i tried to get over youu
but i can't fucking believe that those were my last words to you.
i feel like such an ass now. i'm tearing myself up.
i'm baking cookies now cause i'm trying to get UP.
elevated, high i'm trying to reach where you are
but it's just not registering to me that i can't be a star.
you would probably say that i'm tryna be like daddy.
and as crazy as it sounds that statement always made me happy.
my stomach would do 360s whenever i got to see your face.
you made me feel like a winner even when i was in last place.
you know they say people come into your life to serve a purpose.
i know you were here to make everyone realize that they're worth it.
i wonder if you see now how amazing you must be.
damn i fell in love with an on-earth deity
i never wanna forget you. now you know exactly why.
but i still can't understand why it had to be you to die.
i never got the chance to take more pictures or hold your hand boo.
i never got to take you on that date like i was supposed to.
i'm gonna keep your memory alive. but naturally i would.
and we ended on kind of a bad note. so i hope my efforts make us good.
and i'm gonna show you i can make you proud and turn the bad to the best.
let's let everyone know. ya'll should be afraid of what i'm gon do next.

"My Last Words"

Khalifah Rakim Muhammad December 11, 1990-June 24, 2010

Today is Khalifah's funeral. I didn't get to make it but seeing as though he was the inspiration for me to go ahead and make this blog I have to commemorate him. This song is part of the reason we were introduced. Of course it's gogo. But it's not the typical gogo song. Ironic the concept of the song...

BET Awards 2010

Last night I was definitely more proud of BET than I have been in a long time. This years BET production was very much more put together than some of it's past events. I see BET is trying to make us proud again. I commend their efforts but they have a long way to go.

But I will share my favorite parts.

Chris Brown put a lot of passion in to his performance. I'm leaving his past in the past. You should too.

Alicia Keys looked gorgeous with her baby bump. Prince looked like he was lusting in the midst of her performance. haha. Shoutout to Swizz Beatz. Good job brother.

"Champions" --Ron Artest

Sooooo Ron Artest is a rapper... I don't keep up with this man's basketball career; let alone his rapping one either. And even though this song isn't half bad. I think he would make more money with the Lakers.

Download- "Champions" --Ron Artest

Lissie - When I'm Alone (Live)

"Message From Your Heart"

Soooo everyone who knows me knows that I'm really into music. I listen to everything. And usually I'm very selfish with the good music that I listened to because I feel like no one is going to appreciate it and see it like I do. But since it's my blog and you came and took the time to read what I have to say. I have no choice but to give you a little taste into my world... c'mon. let me show you...

This song is "Her Morning Elegance" --Oren Lavie.

This song is something real smooth. And the video is pretty dope also. It's what is called Stop Motion, for those who don't know that's basically a video made up of a lot of pictures. = )

and speaking of stop motion. This next video is one of the best I've seen. It had to take a lot of freaking Post-It notes.

But back to the music.

This next one is "Cambridge" --Kina Grannis. She is completely adorable to me. And her voice captures me in such a way... geez. She was the winner of the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl Contest back in I think it was 2007, 2008... some where around there. But she's amazing. She left her major deal with Interscope to be an independent artist. And I have full respect towards her because of that.

"Message From Your Heart"

Well that's all I have for now. = )

Kellie Pickler - Makin' Me Fall In Love Again

This song was the first new song I heard after Khalifah's death. I described the way I felt most of the time that I knew him.

My Last Words... My First Also.

"We built this City" --Khalifah Rakim Muhammad.

Those words are what I'm going to remember from that man forever. And as we mourn his death and celebrate his life I can't help but feel like today could not have been a more perfect time to start my blog. I was heavily considering just canceling this account and just doing something else with my life but then I remembered writing and music has always been my coping mechanism. And now that Khalifah is no longer here to do his Rare Impressions blog I've decided that I can't just let his memory and hard work just slip away. I may take a different approach than him. But I plan on making a difference.

The last thing he told me before he died was telling that he was trying to prepare me for the rest of the world's hate towards me. He was telling me there was always gonna be that group of people behind me who hate and are just waiting to see me fail. Even though I knew that already it was great to hear that someone else cared.

But now as he lives in paradise I refuse to fail. That's no longer an option.

Thank you for coming to this world and serving your purpose. I love you. and I'll see you. Hopefully not soon though.
