A Different World

Today was my last day in NOVA before I head out to school. Not to sound all sentimental or anything but I saw alot of people I'm going to really miss. I mean, I'll see em eventually again over breaks and through visits but it was weird. LIke it just hit me today that tomorrow, I will be a freshmen in College.

We're entering a completely Different World no Dwayne and for the most part starting a new chapter. All new faces, all new experiences, all new surrounding, and on my own. Im 100 percent excited and ready to move out and 100 percent nervous and have no idea what to expect but I'm ready to embrace whatever comes my way and live life to the fullest. Well tomorrow is my move in day, the earliest of most my friends, and i'm ready!

¡Blah!: Ride Out Theme Song

Now this is very random post but, tonight when I was on my way. I just said my temporary farewell to my man Bingo, saw alot of friends I won't see for a while, and was now on my solo ride home. When I hit the ipod shuffle, this was the first song that came up:

No Quarter by Led Zeppelin

I'm telling you. Listen to this song, either by your lonesome or with one other close friend, don't say a word and just let the music play. Call me crazy but when I hear his song, I feel like, my life is a movie, and this song is playing when at the end, right into the credits. Listen to this song and just think about it, maybe you'll like it as much as I do...

Joe Budden gets a visit from Raekwon the chef...

For those who don't know Joe Buddens past, he is a rapper that has always been surrounded by problems with other rappers such as The Game, 50 Cent, Method Man and many many more, Wu Tang Clan member Raekwon took it upon himself to defend and stand up for his long time friend and Wu family member and paid Joe Buddens a visit with a few friends. lets just say the out come has Joe Buddens shook for now. Slaughter House member Crooked I was upset after the altercation that had taken place at Rock the Bells in Cali and went after the show with Royce da 5'9 to find Raekwon and his crew, but from previous events its best to leave the Wu Gambinos alone.

Jay Electronica & Mos Def 9:30 Club

It seems everyone in the DMV area this weekend was hyped for a concert. So was I except, lil wayne and Soulja boy didnt attend this one. It's like everytime I see Mos Def preform it feels like the first. He's always full of surprises and you never know what he's gonna do next or whats gonna come out of his mouth whether its a sarcastic joke or one of his long harmonic "OOO's" but I was also blown away by the talent and skill of Jay Electronica I got a chance to rock with Mos Def with Jay Electronica standing on my left being wild and drunk, by talking to him you can see he's really into the love and art of hip hop music and also down to earth guy, too bad it was too dark to get a good shot of him vibing with me Deuce and the crowd. After the show I thought about when Jay Electronica came out and how he was compared to MF DOOM so I went to see what was new on DOOMS page and stumbled upon this interview check it.



My personal favorite Jay Electronica song.

My World (Nas Salute) - Jay Electronica

Finally

One of my favorite and upcoming brands The Award Tour dropped some very exclusive clothing this summer, a lot of us could not get our hands on the pieces because they sold out in literally 20 minutes. Luckily the man Phillip Annand was generous enough to re-release some of the goodness. Myself and a few other showed some love and purchased a few of his summer line. Here is a couple of shots of the pieces that were purchased.

Shyne interview

Say it isn't So?

Word on the web is, that the man Shyne is getting out of jail soon most likely. According to MTV News:

NEW YORK On Tuesday (August 4), a Manhattan judge signed an order that will see former Bad Boy recording artist and onetime Sean "Diddy" Combs protégé Jamal "Shyne" Barrow receive two-and-a-half years of post-release supervision stemming from his 2001 conviction and sentencing in the infamous Club New York case.

An attorney for Shyne — born Jamal Barrow but now going by Moses Levi after converting to Judaism while in prison — said that the order marked one of the last remaining hurdles in the way of his client's release from prison in October.

"He's about 90 percent of the way home now," attorney Oscar Michelin told MTV News following the hearing.

The district attorney's office had recommended Shyne receive the maximum amount of five years of post-release supervision (essentially probation), due to the violent nature of his crime. In June of 2001, Shyne was sentenced to 10 years in prison

n April, Shyne appeared in court for a parole hearing, hoping to be released early after serving eight years in prison — but the rapper was denied any lenience. Now the rapper has a mandatory release scheduled for October 6 of this year. The date will mark eight years and seven months served; he began his sentence in April of 2001, when he was 22 years old.



Now this is crazy because about a week or 2 ago, we were at the Royer Rogers eating, talking about the Shyne incident and how if and when he was gonna come back.

Another thing I have to point out is:

WTF is it with all these EX BaD BoY Rappers going religious?!

Now I know that when Shyne gets out he's most likely not going to be putting out his thug music he was doing in the past. Most likely, I can see him doing some craziness and moving to Israel and becoming a religious servant. Who knows what to expect for his future out in the real world again, Its been a long time coming!
