Re-Discovered: The Blueprint

Before I ramble on, let me state:
YES I AM A HUGE JAY-Z FAN AND HAVE BEEN A HUGE JAY-Z FAN. IF YOU TRY TO DEBATE ME ON WHY HE'S NOT "WORTHY", I WILL SHOOT YOU DOWN BECAUSE I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION AND YOUR "UNWORTHY" FUN FACTS WON'T VEER MY FEELINGS. I'M STAYING LOYAL SO PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

ANYwhoooo, I was driving home late the other night...mad tired.....and not even the rather lovely selections of music on my iTouch could wake me up....UNTILLLL.....Jay-Z's "U Don't Know" came on. The Blueprint is an album that I can honestly say I will NEVER get tired of (and I get tired of ish quick). But it's even better when you haven't heard it in awhile. And Ya Know Ya Girl Was Getting Amped! The best thing about Jay-Z's songs is his portrayal of his confidence. You can definitely see the comfort with where he came from to where he is now. You can look back but you gotta move on...

YOU LEARN:

"I'm from the streets where the
hood could swallow 'em and, bullets'll follow 'em"

"They say that we are prone to violence, but it's home sweet home
Where personalities clash and chrome meets chrome"

"Welcome to hell where you are welcome to sell
But when them shells come you better return 'em
All scars we earn 'em, all cars we learn 'em like the back of our hand"

"Was clappin them flamers before I became famous
For playin me y'all shall forever remain nameless"


YOU GROW:

"I tell you the difference between me and them
They tryin to get they ones, I'm tryin to get them M's"

"Put this shit in motion ain't no rewindin me back
Could make 40 off a brick but one rhyme could beat that"

"That's another difference that's between me and them
Heh, I'm smarten up, open the market up"

"Momma ain't raised no fool
Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth"

"Was born to dictate, never follow orders
Dickface, get your shit straight, fucka this is Big Jay"

You live and you learn...

Fantasia........For Real????

Last night was the season premiere of singer Fantasia's new reality show on VH1. "Ignorance is Bliss" equals Fantasia and her family. There was SOOO much going on in one show. From the jump, VH1 found it humorous to quote Fantasia in bold text across the screen. It read: "2010 is Mines". MINES????......Fantasia....For Real????...(Sidenote: It would have been fitting to put question marks after the title of the show).

ANYwhoooo, we got to meet her family. Her mama....which is obviously where Fantasia got ALL her looks from. Her brother Ricco...who was barely in the show but I decided to mention him anyway. Teeny....*long pause + blank face*.....her smoochin' a$$ brother who looks like Benji Brown aka "KEKE" from Comic View. Her daughter Zion.....no comment. And lastly, her Aunt Bunny......*sigh*.....I am not fond of this lady at ALL! You know there's always that outspoken person in your family who doesn't know how to stop talking....well that would be Aunt Bunny in Fantasia's family. Except I came to the conclusion that she was probably even MORE outspoken because the cameras were on. I seriously wanted to turn into a pixel, go through the tv, and infect her a$$ with the most dangerous radiation ever in life.

Besides all of that, there were a few "hmm" moments:

- At the beginning of the show, Fantasia said she had to deal with the rumors of her being illiterate. However, they showed a preview for future shows and she was told that she was at a 7th grade level......"hmm".....Might as well be illiterate.

-Fantasia had 19 different hairstyles in one taping......."hmm".....didn't think that was possible.

- Fantasia is tatted up like the subway in Harlem...."hmm"......looks like third-degree burns tho.

- Fantasia talks like Dill Pickles and sings like a male leader of a church choir who is gay...."hmm"...think about it.

- Fantasia proceeded to say "that word" again....."She ain't yo child..She MINES"...."hmm"....7th grade level kicks in.

- Big back b*tches stay in Fantasia's crowd...straight from my Twitter...."hmm"...maybe you should follow Me: TwiggyKix


Regardless of me being confused and annoyed throughout the entire show, I will still continue to turn my channel to VH1 Monday nights at 9pm central time.

P.S. I also watched the show "Let's Talk About Pep" afterwards and came to the conclusion that Pep could body slam me and break 5 different body parts with her LegoMan body.
