so it seems.

they took down the badu video i posted yesterday in light of this i thought i would post something else of hers....i heard the album was dope too...imma get it in a few...




so...i read twitter today just to find out that XXL gave Dom Kennedy new mixtape an L of all things *smh*

Beats: L
Lyrics: L
Originality: L

Since twisting the title of Justin Timberlake’s 2006 album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, to create his remarkable 2009 debut mixtape, FutureStreet/DrugSounds, Dom Kennedy has established himself as part of California’s next generation of rappers. On his latest project, From the Westside, With Love, he continues to forge his identity by repping his coast and explaining more about his upbringing in the City of Angels.

Still relatively new to the game, Kennedy begins by reintroducing himself. On the low-key intro, “In Memory Of,” he breaks down his rap persona and loftily compares his style to hip-hop royalty. “I don’t know a nigga that could scribe like this,” he raps, “and you ain’t probably heard nothin’ since Tribe like this.” On the sparsely-produced “1997,” he recalls his first drink, his first love and, most importantly, the first time he realized he had skills on the mic.

Unfortunately, towards the middle of the mixtape, Kennedy gets a little too infatuated with the idea of catering to female listeners. He raps about hotel rendezvous on “The Hotels,” settling down with “the one” on “Love the Future,” and computer love on “Speaker Phone (Dial 143).” But it only results in a slight detour before the rookie returns to form on the soulful “Long Way Home,” where he boastfully explains how and why he’s been able to come such a long way in a short time. From the Westside, With Love helps Kennedy set himself up as a future ambassador of Cali. It’s more than enough to give him the right to throw up the W with love. —Chris Yuscavage

so many things wrong with this where can i start? first off they said his first mixtape was FS/DS...which is false...if you are a true fan...you know that it was 25th hour...and FTW/WL is actually his 4th...the beats alone on said tape garner a XL....XXL what are you doing?

Mind Right...

iight so...not like any of yall cared but i missed a week...my mind was literally everywhere...not everybody was thrilled about me going to Japan...on top of that my homie Concise was in the hospital...i need a few to get my mind together...listen to some music and find myself...and in the mist of it all what have i learned? Do for self...thats the only way to find true happiness....NOW...when i say do for self i don't mean be an utter and total dick to everybody....but im the type of person to put everyone first...how am i gonna give you 5 dollars and i owe somebody a G??? makes no sense...well it did in my mind for some odd reason but being in little rock gave me time to think...i got back in a week or 2 and with this new perspective i hope i can truly make some changes in my life that will make the people looking out for me proud...so new music on deck right now....

The Fork.

now...today has been an uncontrollable rollercoaster...matter of fact...my bad world how you been? i don't think i've blogged anything personally in months...lol...been busy...and plus besides promotin my tape (CHESS IN THE CLOUDS IN MAY) what more do yall want to hear...but...again...today was crazy...i finally met somebody dope...who i could literally spend the rest of my life with (i met her a WHILE ago...not today lol...just to clear that up...okay...keep reading) ...and im prepared to...but then...found out im going to Japan for 2 years...now if you know me...or even if you don't...Toyko has been my dream forever...since i was a wee little champloo...and still is...but i can never find anybody else who wants to go believe it not...more often than not they don't have the money...but here i am with the opportunity to live there for 2 years...a BIG city...music...nightlife...everything i've been dying to be a part of...but if i go...i leave her...NOW...i know most of yall are like fuck that bro you need to go to Japan...but at the same time...how selfish is that of me? i've promised her the world and now im about to snatch all of that away from her...but on the flip side...this is literally my dream! What i thought would never happen...and here it is in my grasp...matter of fact i could say the same thing about marriage believe it or not...so here i am at the crossroads...between (what i feel could be) musical stardom and a family...and what if i choose Japan then my orders fall through? or even worse...i go...have a ball but then come back to the states...alone and lonely again... or what if i choose her and she leaves me? Just yesterday i said in life whatever happens happens...but in this case...i have to choose...God give me a sign...i need direction...
