Music Monday: Fly Union "Poe'd UP" video
This video is from Columbus Ohio's very own Fly Union featuring G.O.O.D.(Getting out our dreams) Music artist Big Sean. It was shot in Cleveland, Ohio by Palestra Creative (the same folks the did The 3rd's Escalade video) the weekend of the Ohio Hip Hop Awards. It's funny to see how it turned out because me and the JWORK fam we're actually on Coventry when they were shooting some of the scenes. I think it turned out AWESOME, what do you think???

BE AWARE! World AIDS day 12/01/09
If you THINK you are at risk, go get tested. If you are going to engage in sexual activity, be safe and use protection for EVERYthing, EVERYthing? EVERYthing!! Or better yet, be abstinent! Abstinence is a state of mind, not just a state of being... Check some of these preventative measures....
- Avoid injected (intravenous) drugs. If you use injected drugs, avoid sharing needles or syringes. Always use new needles. (Boiling or cleaning them with alcohol does not guarantee that they're sterile and safe.)
- Avoid oral, vaginal, or anal contact with semen from HIV-infected people.
- Avoid unprotected anal intercourse, since it causes small tears in the rectal tissues, through which HIV in an infected partner's semen may enter directly into the other partner's blood.
- If you have sex with people who use injected drugs, always use protection.
- If you have sex with many people or with people who have multiple partners, always use protection.
- People with AIDS or who have had positive HIV antibody tests can pass the disease on to others. They should not donate blood, plasma, body organs, or sperm. They should not exchange genital fluids during sexual activity.
- Safer sex behaviors may reduce the risk of getting the infection. There is still a slight risk of getting the infection even if you practice "safe sex" with the use of condoms. Abstinence is the only sure way to prevent sexual transmission of the virus.
- Use protection when having sexual contact with people you know or suspect of being infected with HIV. Even better, use protection for ALL sexual contact.
Assessment
Check out these testing sites as well...

I will be going to get my test done sometime this week so I can get my PAPERS lol

Songs That Make Me: Wale feat Marsha Ambrosious "Diary"
"Queen,/ You deserve the title/ But she rejects what i give/ While she nurse the wounds by them/ Tried them, didn't work/ Got impossible standards,/ Nothin' I do's gonna work/ Diary of a black girl"
@Wale
This track is CLASSIC... in my humble opinion...
Everything from the arrangement and the lyrics and Marsha's BEAUTIFUL, ANGELIC voice makes this track a standout to me...
NOT to mention the song gets to me so TOUGH!
It gives you a peek into the goings on inside of MY diary... I can so relate to this song. I think that every woman keeps a diary, literal or figurative. Every man that we allow into our lives writes something on the tablet of our heart. Good or bad, there is a record being kept of what transpires in the relationship. I myself can say that my "Diary" is filled with doubt, fear and very little trust in the opposite sex. I don't want it to be that way, but when that's all you know it's hard to go AROUND that.
It's even harder for the man that is trying to prove otherwise. I'm an optimistic person, but fear prohibits me from letting go and allowing someone new to get close to me... Insecurity, is a self-imposed prison, I choose to let my mind create falsities and conspire about how your intentions are impure... And I KNOW that it's partially my fault because I settle and repeat some mistakes, but DAMN it seems never-ending... In order for change to occur one must do something DIFFERENT for a change... Seems like I should do that huh??
If I told you I wanted to talk to you, you know
you'd think I'm tryin' to holler at you
And maybe I am, but you wouldn't hear me out anyways would you?
Rather lose love than to move on never knowin' what it feels like
Short days, long nights by the phone, no call
Need a clear mind cuz I been blind got me goin down that road
Heart made of stone
Far away from home,
Black woman c-c-cold
Every problem that you ever had with another man, i gotta face
Started off on thin ice i'm still here but i can't skate
Slow sink, can't breathe
No remorse, don't think
Listen to your friend,
Get another man for a minute then repeat
Queen,
You deserve the title
But she rejects what i give
While she nurse the wounds by them
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothin' I do's gonna work
Diary of a black girl
[Chorus:]
I wonder why I sit and cry, wish I could shed all these tears
I'm down and out, I'll keep on movin' and tryin' to get out
I don't know how to move on, where I went wrong
Wish I could live with no fears
So down and out, I'll keep it movin' and try to get out, somehow
Black girl
Raise by a momma who, hates the baby father, so
She don't have a problem with, sayin' "fuck a nigga" quick
I'm just tryin' to be the one who never run, but you run away from me
Your girlfriend's men cheat, why not me the same thing
She can't see in me, what I see in her
This pain she inherit, can't be reversed
I can even stay livin' in the shade above the motherfuckers that played ya
The irony in that is I ain't even that but you put it in those pages
Wife, you deserve the label,
But you been hurt before,
So you sore, and don't feel you're able
Tried them, didn't work
Got impossible standards,
Nothing that i ever do'll work
Diary of a black girl
[Repeat Chorus:] (2x)
See all I ever want to do is be relevant just tell me that I ever meant anything or that you could ever see me and you on another light but its like the dark winter doors darkest nights by the wrong men mostly all of them have made you some what incapable of a first impression what I do is channel my aggression with no cable or antenna just intentions to impress you; incapable, hoping that the material possessions can materialize to a better you; cars, nothing I drive can drive better this frame of mind with such an ugly picture in the end; money, nothing I buy can buy me more time for your ears to say your heart to listen to it; diamonds, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegiance ya, you gonna shine anyways and every day that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary the day before is better then the present so anyone presented in her presence endures her life; sentences, no key for release no reason to be around her minds in the clouds she writes it all down in her diary

AGL presents: Indie artist feature: D. Larue "End of Regulation"
end: The time at which something is concluded.
reg·u·la·tion: A principle, rule, or law designed to control or govern conduct.
NOV 19th is here! D Larue's "End Of Regulation" is HERE!!!
I can't wait to listen to this! I'm really excited by the direction that Ohio Indie hip-hop is taking, ESPECIALLY to see a woman putting it down just as good as or BETTER than a man... I promise you she could beat you, your mama's mama, or yo mama's pappy in a battle....D. Larue's style is Raw, edgy, fresh, and original. And I hope you like her music as much as I do!
End of Regulation is 17 original tracks filled with enough lyricism and classic production to make any hip hop head have a cardiac. Dominique Larue does nothing but exude her passion for music in each song with her raw delivery and cunning storytelling. She is on a mission to let the world know that female emcees still exist and are alive and well. With production from Focus, Rashid Hadee, D/Will, T.Dragonette, Antman Wonder and more, along with features from the likes of Wordsmith, Prefyx, Junclassic, Cyrano Sinatra and Savant.
If you feel like hip hop has been lacking a woman's touch then this tape will bring all hope back in a special way. Dominique showcases her ability to rock any given track with her trademark raw elegance. End of Regulation is meant to show the world how she is putting in overtime to end mediocrity in music, this most definitely raises the bar. Ms. Larue's new album "From Ohio With Love" is available on iTunes/Amazon right now. Also lookout for Dub MD and !llmind as they return with Volume 4 of the "Blaps, Rhymes & Life" compilation series this December.
TRACKLIST!
01.) Epic Intro (Produced By Antman Wonder)
02.) The Best (Produced By Boonie Mayfield)
03.) Fall '96 (Produced By Ghost Rydah)
04.) Kill That Sh*t (Produced By Antman Wonder)

Music Monday: Step ur music game UP^...
1. Who Sampled: http://www.whosampled.com/
Basically if you're a music listener who always has the question, "WHERE have I heard this before?" then this site is for you. Who Sampled not only gives you the information as to what song sampled what, it also gives you a sound clip to hear the influence as well as the song that includes the sample! I found this in the midst of my search to find out what song Mc Lyte sampled for "Poor Georgie" ("Georgie Porgie" Toto, AND "Wanna Be Where You Are" Michael Jackson)
2. Fetch MP3: http://www.fetchmp3.com/
I found this googling how to rip audio from YouTube videos about 6mths ago. With this site, you can rip the audio into an MP3 file from ANYthing that has been posted on youtube. So that audio from House Party 2 that you want to include in your podcast? It's on Fetch MP3. That song that came out yesterday that all the links are broken to? You can probably find it on Fetch MP3. I've downloaded COUNTLESS songs from this site and the major PERK, you don't have to download MORE software to your PC it's all done through the browser :>)
NOW that I let go of some of my secrets, take them and use them WISELY! Audi 5000! *muah*
Music Monday: Jaguar Wright x Drake x Kid Cudi x Jay-Z

Drake- "Fear"

Music monday: LATE edition- Jay-Z reaction to BluePrint 3 leaks...
MTV Reports:
It was only a matter of time. Last week a number of tracks from Jay-Z’s upcoming The Blueprint 3 leaked online, including his collaboration with Rookie of the Year Drake on “Off That.” Now, Hov has to deal with his entire album being on the Web: The Blueprint 3 popped up on blogs this morning around the time Jay-Z appeared at a press conference announcing his 9/11 tribute concert.
“I may be the most bootlegged artist in history,” he told MTV News shortly after his album leaked. “It’s a preview. I’m excited for people to hear the album. I’m very proud of the work I’ve done, so enjoy it.”
Jay kept it cool despite his material leaking out 10 days before the official release day. The iconic MC, though, had reason to relax: He has his own indicator to let him know whether reactions to his music are good or bad.
“My pager is actually ringing right now, so people are probably calling me and telling me they pretty much like it,” he explained. “I can tell by the way my pager rings if a song is good or not. It’s really going crazy right now.”

"Supplied 4 Success" is Gearing Up For Their 1st Annual School Supply Giveaway Columbus, Ohio- Aug 2009
"Supplied 4 Success" is a not-for-profit school supply drive and giveaway created to benefit school-aged children of need that are primarily located in the Franklin County area. Organized and presented by ColumbusUrbanLife.com, Repertoire PR & Marketing Collective, and The Promise Foundation, "Supplied 4 Success" will take 100% of the monetary and supply donations received from local business owners, organizations, and individuals in order to distribute bookbags filled with the basic essentials that the children will need to begin a successful school-year.
The "Supplied 4 Success" school supply giveaway will take place during the weekend of August 22 at a designated location in the community that is easily accessible by COTA, has ample FREE parking, and is also in close walking proximity to communities that are the most in need of assistance. In addition to handing out school supplies, we will have vendors on hand supplying snacks and beverages, a live dj providing age-appropriate music, volunteers to help keep the event organized, and local celebrities, athletes, and community leaders in attendance to shake hands, take photos and speak with the kids to get them motivated for the up-coming school year.
The organizers of "Supplied 4 Success" recognized that there is a great need in the community for the children to have the basic essentials needed to succeed in the classroom starting Day One of the 2009-2010 school year. With the economy still suffering, parents and teachers are stretching their resources to the max just to provide children with the educational and life necessities they need to compete with those students and schools that receive more funding.
We wanted to do our part to make sure that every child*, ( *first come, first served while supplies last ) is equipped with the tools they need to start school with a "come to learn, equipped to succeed" attitude.
If you would like more information on how to become a sponsor, how and where to donate monetary or school supplies, a list of the supplies needed, and/or how to register as a volunteer, please contact Supplied4Success@gmail.com .To make an online donation, please log on to www.Supplied4Success.com

Jay-Z Blueprint 3 rumored tracklist
This is for YOU all my fellow Jay-Z fans/stans and also the H8rs, the rumored BP3 tracklist was released 2day! I'm sure that these aren't ALL of the tracks. Knowing Jay there are BOUND to be surprises... Check out the list and below that, Jay-Z's explanation for his album cover....
~*Sidebar*~ The tracks I can't wait to hear are 3, 6, 7, 13, 16... The collabs look good to me too Chris Martin, Jay Electronica, Nas, Andre 3k, Jeezy, Eminem and Scarface.... But no Bleek... What's up with that???!!!
Blueprint 3 rumored tracklist
(Courtesy of 2dopeboyz)
1. “Wake Up New York (Intro)”
2. “Most Kings”
3.“Hades (Lucifer part two)”
4. “Eternal Jewels” (feat. and prod. by Jay Electronica)
5. “Blueprint 3″
6. “Lucy” (feat. Chris Martin)
7. “The Audacity of Dope”
8. “S-L-U Part Two” (feat. Nas, Andre 3000, and Young Jeezy)
9. “Election Night (We Believe in Obama)”
10. “Just Memories”
11. “Apostate” (feat. and prod. by Eminem)
12. “Oasis”
13. “My Brothers Keeper” (feat. Scarface)
14. “Brooklyn Lost”
15. “Weeds and Concrete”
16. “Without Rain…”
“These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop, it’s still about music,” Jay-Z said of the cornucopia of instruments and equipment, from saxophones to tape decks to turntables to phonographs. “It’s not about radio and it’s not about making gimmicks and its not about anything, it’s still about making music. So those things are out in the corner.” Jay’s visual aesthetic is supported by BP3’s first single “D.O.A.,” which called for the end of one of those “gimmicks,” Auto-Tune.
As for those three red stripes running horizontally across the cover, Jigga calls them the “original three” and discusses how that’s way the number appeared on cave drawings before someone came along and connected the lines to form the “3″ we all know now, but it’s just a convoluted answer for the fact that this is the third Blueprint and that U2 made emblazoning latitudinal lines on an album cover in vogue...."

Music Monday: Freddie Mac- (Mississippi) Chillin
Newness from my dude Freddie Mac! Check out (NY Co pt 2) This time he's on that solo dolo coming at us with (Mississippi) Chillin. He currently resides in DC, but is from Mississippi. Not only is he musically talented he is also HI-larious check out his YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/user/macweeklyrecap
Freddie Mac- (Mississippi) Chillin

"After months of HARD WORK (but I make it seem easy) the "Feel Good Music" Mixtape is completed. Yesterday I finished the last two songs, which leaves this mixtape at a total of 9 songs, also including a few skits and interviews! The tracklisting will be coming soon along with interviews and hopefully videos. On this mixtape I decided to step away from being SOOOO SERIOUS and just decided to have fun and that I most certainly did. I only worked with 2 producers on this project because they felt the music and where I was trying to take this mixtape. Many would like to claim this as "dance" music or "club" music but being from Mississippi and growing up around this type of music, it is what comes easy to me. This should be a very nice fall semester, for the schools, students, party people who ROCK with this music and know how to party!"
