ef ay be oh el oh you es



I'm vibin; Fabolous, pushin' out Lil' Wayne. I had enough of Drake & Weezy. I hate to be that person sounding like "oh blah I was up on them years ago"... Well I was, so all your "new" is my "old" and fuck it, Fabo is lyrically better than Weezy. Yeah, I said it. I mean don't get it twisted, I loved Lil wayne back in tha days of Cash Money Records & Hot boys..But Fabo is tough. Ha, this can either go one of two ways; You're either reading this and understanding orrrr you're getting hot! I'm just tired of that mixtape bullshit, after a while it all sounds the same. And I'm real tired of the remakes of old songs. Let that shit be. Like how does Wayne go remaking an original Nina Simone song such as "Feeling Good" Wayne samples the hook in his song "Birds flying High" Yeah I get it, it calls for a good sound but it's way too drastic of two totally different sounds and ages. To me, thats like taking a good movie and then adding squeal after sequel...that you end up hating the movie because you know nothing can top the original. Even in simple form Lil Wayne x Nina Simone, doesn't sound right. It's like dunking Oreo's in Orange Jucie...just aint gonna work. Is this hitting home at all? I hope so. I'm sayin, Fabolous really has never let me down, where as some of Lil Wayne's moves has made me shake my head. Well maybe I shouldn't be blaming Weezy after all.....maybe I should shift my anger towards The Hoff.



....Are you serious America?!

. a Little bit in Love with you .

Lykke Li, my female crush. I freakin adore this lady. I just want to bottle her up and keep her forever. Not only do i love the sound of her voice, but i love her style. I often find myself getting lost in her lyrics, she is something different. Her sound is a indie Swedish // electropop. She has appeared on Sewdish musicians, Kleerup's album contributing vocals for "Until We Bleed" & Royskopp's "Miss it so Much" She is also featured in "Gifted" - N.A.S.A, Kanye West, Santogold. Drake also made a remix to her song "Little Bit" appearing on his album "So Far Gone." Shes done covers from Kings of Leon, A Tribe Called Quest to mixes by Rick Ross. I'm finding that it's actually common for her songs to be remixed and/or covered. Either way, shes baaaad and definitely holding it down.


Side note: This video was done from straight pocket change before she was on LL Records. She gathered friends and rented the apartment displayed in video and did her thing! loves it.
