Unhhh. Gimme a hug.

I am not an observant person. I don’t think that I could ever sit with a police sketch artist and describe to them the perpetrator of a crime I had witnessed. I always thought it was because I wasn’t that good at describing people. Like, if asked, I couldn’t tell you a bank robber was __ tall or weighed __ lbs. When friends ask me what someone else looks like I say something like, “she’s short and light-skinned. short hair.” that’s as far as I can go without any distinguishing …

No. I didn’t get a bouquet, although I may buy some for myself. Instead I got the new jawn from dumhi entitled Flowers. According to Haj of dumhi, Flowers is “a little 30 minute mini movie slash emotional rollercoaster… some hiphop.. some singy stuff.. odd instrumental sound collages…” Hmm, okay. Well it’s free and you probably didn’t get flowers from anyone else anyway so check it out.
Oh, and if you’re going to be in Philly on March 7, there’s a party! Join Public Axis, 215hiphop.com and dumhi at The M …

While listening to my roomie’s iPod on shuffle just a little while ago, I immediately I thought of one of my very first boyfriends. Let’s call him Aaron. Quick story: I first met Aaron through his cousin who was one of my best friends. We were all at one of those school concerts in middle school. You know, the ones where the band plays some lame songs and the chorus sings some lame songs all dressed in white tops and dark bottoms? I played the clarinet, by the way. Anyway, …

No, not that India and Musiq yaddermean.
Yo, wtf? I know I’m probably late because I don’t get TV over here but um, AXE is wildin! AXE Body Spray has always employed interesting commercials i.e. women uncontrollably tearing away at men who wear their fragrance, but this one had me rolling.
According to their website:
AXE Dark Temptation is the new fragrance by AXE inspired by what women love most…chocolate.
AXE Dark Temptation combines the subtle aroma of chocolate with fresh gourmet scents, including hot chocolate amber and red peppercorn, to bring modern sophistication …

Amy Winehouse is my girl. I know, I know, she’s a train wreck of epic proportions. Now that her and Blake are going through it (again), I’m hoping we get more great music and no more of this falling into self-destruction and shitty displays at live shows.
Anywhoo, let’s focus in on this clip of a much healthier Amy (sans major tats and errant eyeliner) kicking the shit out of Take The Box off of her Frank album. I ♥ this song.
Bonus:

I don’t know why, but I was sitting here and the Eastside High school song, made popular in the movie Lean on Me, popped into my head. So naturally, I had to listen to it.

The guys from NJ started out as Playboy but changed to Riff after LOM. It’s too bad we didn’t really get to know the guys. Not only did they sing the school song in LOM but they were also responsible for the title track off of the White Man Can’t Jump soundtrack. Riff released a self-titled …

Oh snappy, yall! My boo needs help! If you travel back in blog time, you’ll see that I heart Doug E. Fresh. Yeah, that’s funny, but what isn’t funny is that my boo is on that T-Boz and I ain’t talkin about no Red Light Special. This fool done lost his crib!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
From the NY Post:
The Human Beat Box is taking a financial beating.
Rap icon Doug E. Fresh – best known for his ’80s hit “The Show” – has been socked with three foreclosure actions by banks looking to collect …

Telly was weird as hell, by the way. He clearly needed therapy.

Whatever happened to that kid J-Kwon (né Jerrell Jones)? Why am I even thinking about J-Kwon? Last night I heard “Hood Hop” three times. That’s more than I’ve heard that song all year. So, I was inspired to blog about it. Now, I have always been a fan of the song’s track. That joint is crankin’ for sure. The dude squeaking over it though? Not so much. Still, 2004 was good to the kid with his first single “Tipsy” peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at …
