My Blogaversary Is Coming Up!

That's me in the middle... The fam made me a cake to celebrate! 🙂

September 3rd will mark the One Year Anniversary of me being a “Blogger.” I didn’t think I’d be this dedicated to doing this when I first started… It was kind of something that Shaun got me on because he used to spill his thoughts on his MySpace blog… Overall I’m proud I’ve grown more though letting people know about me through writing and I’m going to go through some of my blogs and list my top 10 blogs to date for y’all on 09.03.2009.

I’ve got a lot of things I’ve looked back on and thought, “wow what the fuck was I thinking when I wrote that.” And then there’s ones that I’ve felt showed the real me… Then there’s the one’s where I went back and amended my words cause I learned something from a reader who was just a little more insightful than I was about things at the time…

Right now… All I can say is that I’m proud of this whole deal and to all my regular readers, all I can promise you is more crack! I’m back and kind of leveled again. Life’s good and I’m ready to do this like I’m doing it for TV…

STAY Tuned….

I Want To Know What Love Is…

I often wonder what love is… I got an unfinished blog about LOVE I’m gonna let go of soon. I’ve just got to find out what it means to actually be loved by a chick for the right reasons. It’s weird to think about it, but I can honestly say I don’t know what true love is… We’re forced into love sometimes, sometimes love is a settlement for a better future, but those aren’t options for me. I want the real deal and I want to see it build from nothing to something and beyond…

It’ll come when the time is right and she will come when the time is right, but till then… I still want to know what love is…

Yeah… I’m in sappy in the crib all weekend mode.  Enjoy the new MC…

Nina Sky… NO SPLENDA!

Download: Nina Sky ft. Rick Ross – Flippin’ ThatSo Alex & one of the Nina Sky’s (I think it’s Nicole…)  thinks it’s funny to diss my slanguage… Well F y’all! I’ll say “NO SPLENDA” all I want.

I ain’t mad at y’all for saying “Oye Mi Canto” or “Más Maíz” or Alex for his wack ass saying “Wackle Juice” (come the fuck on…)

Well I’m used to the hate as it is… It seems people come together when it comes to hating on H Diddy… I’m used to it.

I stopped caring who loves or hates me about a month and a half ago. So if it makes you happy to diss me for saying “NO SPLENDA” so be it…

Nickelus F came up with it any ways! 😉

NEW MUSIC: Drake ft. Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Eminem – Forever (Produced by Boi 1da)

Much love to HustleGRL for the off the chain graphic work on the cover art!

There’s 3 version of this song that exist

1. Drake ft. Lil Wayne & Nickelus F – Forever (Original Version)

2. Drake ft. Lil Wayne & Nut Da Kid – Forever (Young Money Version)

3. This one…

The first one only a few people including myself have… I like the 1st one best cause everyone comes off equally and the chemistry between the 3 is way better. The version we got here is straight… I’m fucking with it because of the names on it alone and Boi 1da killed the track!

The original might surface sooner or later, but we’ll see…

Enjoy this one though…

“It may mean nothing y’all, but understand that nothing was done for me. so I don’t plan on stopping at all/ I WANT THIS SHIT FOREVER MANE…”

Venus Vs. Mars…

They finally leak something dope from BP3… It looks like all the Timbaland tracks are on the streets. Interesting. Anyone think that one or two of these will be cut form the final version of BP3??? There might still be time…

Anyways This is classic Jay & Timbo love… The beat sounds Neptunish at times, but Jay comes off and kills it!

Song Of The Day: Razah – Higher

Song of the day… Razah has really come up and I’m loving this new song and hope the kid’s album comes out tight!

This joint (“Higher“) I’m a little late on. It was released, I think in the Spring time, but it’s amazing and makes me feel… Well… AMAZING! It’s one of those records that makes me look back even though I’ve been trying to look forward… This record brings a smile to my face when I think about how after a short stint of time; the thought of someone who made a difference in my life (that is gone now) can still move me like the day I realized how they made me feel.

Life’s funny that way…  With it’s ironic twists and turned, but overall it leads us in the path we’re suppose to be on I suppose… I stopped counting my blessing long ago and now I’m counting on myself to make myself go HIGHER…

Enjoy this one for what it is and hopefully you’ll find that special someone that makes you take off and feel HIGHER.

The connection that we share/ Nothing in this world could ever compare/ I felt it from the start…”

Aaliyah…

August 25, marks eight years to the day we lost one of the greatest people ever… I never met Aaliyah, but her music and presents was something that I felt deeply when she was alive.

I got hooked on ‘Baby Girl’s’ music when she did the “Back In One Piece” song. It was one of those songs that defined a moment for me and the chemistry between her and DMX was like fire… Thinking back I can’t even place the moment that made this song special, but I do remember the feeling and I had that feeling recently when I wrote about Aaliyah on her birthday (Song Of The Day: Aaliyah & DMX “Come Back In One Piece” Blog). I guess the feeling you get is more important than the person you shared it with sometimes, but then again sometimes the person is what invokes that feeling like when I wrote about Aaliyah the first time.

Whatever the case may be, Aaliyah is and always will be someone I cherish as an artist and fellow creative mind. From “4 page Letter” to “Miss You” she’s made my life just a little bit better… I’ll never forget her and even though her life was cut short; she more than made it worthwhile before her tragic death.

Get familiar and pay homage to AALIYAH…

Keep It Real…

Bored on a Sunday and thinking about what’s “real.” No one keeps it real anymore… They say they do, but they don’t…

Men.. Why do dudes have to lie on they dick? If you didn’t get the ass, just be real and don’t say you smashed it up when you really didn’t… Geez… Pussy is everywhere… If you get in where you fit in keep it to yourself, but don’t tell everyone you fucked the Swedish Bikini Team when you really spent Friday night going home with “Palmala” to watch bang bros. videos…

Women… Don’t play yourselves and pretend to be something you’re not to be cool for a dude. We (men) don’t give a fuck about anything but ourselves. I’m personally a little  open minded enough to take in some of the bullshit women have to give, but overall don’t pretend to show an interest in what I do when you feel good about me and then shit on everything I do when you don’t feel the same anymore… That’s childish… That ain’t real…

Rappers… If you don’t write your own shit be a little more humble; keep it real and pay homage to who made you who you are…

Producers… Be original and make music that moves, not what was moving last year… Jim Jonsin, Just Blaze, Timbaland, Boi 1da… All keep it funky, why y’all still trying to sound like Dr. Dre still??? Keep it real and do you!

People… If you ain’t strong enough to KEEP IT REAL… KILL YOURSELF & Start over… Cause I did and now I’m personally sick of games, lames and lies… Everything I say I do or plan on doing sooner than later. If you don’t believe me then you don’t really know me…

Paying Homage: Fela Kuti

I got put on to Fela by my boy Russel Coker in college. Russel was mixed like me (He’s Nigerien/White), but he was so hardcore African. He used to play Fela’s music all the time and it was invigorating stuff. Fela to me was a mix between James Brown, Bob Marley, Miles Davis & Busta Rhymes.

In his early years he was full of energy and infused music from the West (Jazz, Soul & even Rock) into his performance and the nigga danced his ass off!

His music to me is like pure energy… I have no clue what he’s saying when he sings in his native tongue, but listening him makes me feel free and there’s no feeling like that in this world. The truth is Fela was like most creative people at that time; against the machine that makes the world suck…

He said once in an interview…

“My name is  Anikulapo… I have death in my pouch. I can’t DIE. You can’t kill me…”

Word to God… That’s some bold shit to say from one man, but he meant it and eventually his brash statements and activist ways landed him in prison in 1984 on trumped up money laundering charges, but after 20 months in prison he was freed due to the efforts of various Human Rights groups in Nigeria.

See… Fela was an advocate for Human Right, Freedom and Love… His music and legacy will live through his music and hopefully inspire people, like he’s inspired me…

I often contemplate my place in this world and what I was meant to do in life; lately I’ve been contemplating what more I can do in this life rather than try to figure out what it is I’m meant to do. Life is the longest thing we have and wasting time wonder and not going for what’s real is never gonna make shit any better for anyone. And giving in to the old way of thinking that made people like Fela fall victim to society’s shit isn’t going to help much either.

Fela changed the whole social make up of his homeland of Nigeria through music… This is what I want to do… This is why I’m here, to change something through doing what I love… How many people can say that they want/can change shit doing what they love nowadays?

Christina Evangeline…

So today I realized, with a little help from Anisha,  that it’s kinda creepy that I write so much about this “Muse” of mine K… (it’s great to have a little sister who’s pretty much on call 24/7 now… Sorry Anoop) SO yeah… It is arguably creepy, but it kinda isn’t  if you understood why I write… See it’s easier for me to express myself like this rather than to be angry or bottle up my emotions inside. What separates humans from other animals is our advanced sense of emotions. We feel more… So when it hurts the pain is worse, but there comes a point where drawing inspiration from pain becomes  more of a pain because of the constant reminder of that pain… So even though Anisha didn’t blatantly call me fucked up in the head, I got the idea and I figured I’d got back to just having fun in my writing again…. And I might spill about K or whoever, when ever I want… Shit I wrote a blog about Teresa walking 200 blocks and cursing at a peach (Walk With Me As I Eat A Peach Through The Hood… Blog), so the world and my people are my inspiration for this art.

Which leads me to this… Christina Evangeline 🙂

One of the baddest women I know, but as real as any of my niggas. She’s silly, sexy, cool and like myself doesn’t really give a fuck what people think as long as she’s happy 🙂 Reminds me of an Italian version of Aby…

Well I was on the twit today and saw this picture she posted…

"I think I lost my contact in there..." -Christina

See that… She doesn’t give a fuck and she told me an old lady snapped that shot of her (how raw is that?). Anyways, for someone I casually know, she’s like one of those cool people I’ll never really forget because……. Well she ain’t scared to put her finger in a wooden butt! 😉

Seriously though, she’s cool as cool can get and there’s nothing out there that can replace that. It’s hard to find people who really can enjoy life for what it is and be free at the same time. People worry too much about the future; when you’re future is determined on your present and if you settle for the “safe” future and get hit by a bus tomorrow, guess what… You missed out on a lot.

This is why I do what I do and Christina does what she does and why Nick does what he does and why M.Rell does what he does and why Alex does what he does… The list goes on….

When you persue your dreams and enjoy doing it; it’s the greatest feeling in the world…

So Christina you get mad propers for being a COOL person (don’t get it twisted, you’re fly too.. The whole package is straight). Keep it real, but most of all keep it real with yourself and next time I’m back in NYC we’ll spend more than 15mins together walking the wrong way down the street… hahaha!

Let’s get it in and live it up!

Quote Of The Day… H Diddy Dollar

Quote Of The Day

“If you want to move up… sometimes you need to move on…” – Hugh ‘H Diddy Dollar’ Mulzac

I told this to Lois Lame last night when we was having our ‘semi-annual’ catching up convo… So yeah, my stupid ass should listen to my own words sometimes. You see… I go for what I feel is ‘right’ even though it’s so ‘wrong’ sometimes. And don’t get it twisted; people feel my movement… I got my first real shot of cooool points in a long time when my new friend who’s friends with my other friend and Karel Marie (yes your name remains!) was actually disappointed when I she didn’t get to know me the first time we met. I was honestly blown away because I figured a fly chick like that wouldn’t even associate herself with someone as ‘unique’ as I am, but she was diggin’ my vibe… Then it hit me; I had forgotten how much of a MAGNET I was… How come???

Because I couldn’t move on from someone feeling I wasn’t i+ anymore… Basically my Muse (Wait… no more Muse… Her name is K). I let my cool slide with her cause I felt like she was just always going to be there and could handle the shit storm that is H. Apparently I eventually lost my edge with her and it ended with me going off because she carried me like a child on a text message (Talk about losing my cool…) Any hoots… that shit I had with her I threw on a back burner till I could figure it out and after awhile I forgot about it (after like 5 blogs I wrote inspired by our last talk that is). Either way it didn’t put me in a bad space, but put me in a different state of mind.

See I really can’t stand it when people don’t like me… I know people hate me; but they at least like me… (does that even make sense???)

It does to me… I’ve never left a bad impression on someone… EVER… Even when I’ve been super offensive or belligerent… But I think I did with K because after time we kind of drifted apart because we started to feel differently about our ‘dreams’ in life and I couldn’t understand why she changed up on me so quickly… But I kind of do now because ‘if you want to move up… sometimes you need to move on…”

When we first met our connection was ridiculously strong or she was a good bullshitter and can made shit seem real on the fly… Whatever it was I was taken in and loved every moment of it, but like I said as it went on she changed up because of her life situation and I refused to let what we had go because at the time it drove me to do more. I felt like K was like motivation…

I'm now & forever will be an industrial strength magnet!

Truth be told she did inspire me on the positive tip so much… She even compared our friendship to chemistry; how opposites attract and shit (such a dork)… But she threw me in as the electron (negative) charge and she was the proton (positive) charge. I honestly think we are just IONS with different charges (directions) in life now and the only charges we carry are credit card bills…

And me… I have the worst time moving on because people to me are the only standard in my life. We’re suppose to switch up cars and clothes; not people… In her case I can see how someone like myself wouldn’t fit in the picture anymore, but in my case I can’t see her not fitting in the picture anymore… She was a true friend and I neglected that and now regret it… 😦

We’ll always be golden even if we don’t speak because we still got an undeniable connection. That can’t be faded, but “if you want to move up… sometimes you need to move on…” I hope we’re not at that point though cause K is one of those people like me that’s just MAGNET and unlike me; she hasn’t forgotten that…. (I DO REMEMBER NOW THOUGH) and maybe we’ll be cool again… I know it’s really on me to get that right though.

Rant…

I haven’t been on my blogging ish for a minute cause I’ve been busy living my real life, but it doesn’t deter me from writing something now and then to provoke some thought in you…

I always tell people what I write in my blog is a reflection of me, but not always how I really feel. The people who know me best know I’m a hard act to get a long with. The people who love me the most, give me the most hell for the way I act and the people who don’t like me at all; smile in my face and entertain my fuckery…

It all leads me to think about the general term of happiness in our lives… When it’s forced is it something that makes us feel better or is it something that pushes us closer and closer to the edge? I see it everyday… The girl who’s in a failing relationship, but doesn’t want to leave because she sees no other options… The insecure man who uses his preditor like skills with ladies to fill a void in his heart for a love lost… The people who compromise their world to make other people happy… It’s like there’s so many scenarios and so much pain…

It tares me up inside sometimes that happiness to me is as simple as getting to “DO ME” whenever and however I want. I can’t front… I teeter on the edge of being straight edge and insane sometimes. It’s like I’m the nicest guy you know and then I’m that dude that’s reckless at any given point and doesn’t give a fuck… I say what I want and do as I want with no real remorse or consequences.

It’s kind of weird that my freedom is what makes me happy, but then again; it’s torn me down when I try to force those freedoms on others… See… I don’t get why people do the things they do sometimes. I’ve learned from many years of being a bullshitter that being real was the best thing for me. It’s opened me up to more opportunity, better people and most of all opened the door for me to be happy.

But then again… I kinda feel alone lately because I need my personal space to get things right by me again because I’m cut inside… But all  that will heal with money…

See ===> I’ll never close the door on happiness and what it means to me. So I leave the door wide open for it. Even when the some doors of happiness  have closed on me recently; I feel they’ll reopen with the right steps. 🙂

FYI===> This is just a rant… Nothing more and nothing less. It’s friday night and I’m stuck in the crib. blah… I MISS MY CITY… NEW YORK 😦

“They’re all actors/ Looking at themselves in the mirror backwards/ Can’t even face themselves, don’t fear no rappers/ They’re all weirdos, DeNiro’s in Practice/ So don’t believe everything your earlobe captures/ It’s mostly backwards/ Unless it happens to be as accurate as me/ And everything said in song you happen to see/ Then actually, believe half of what you see/ None of what you hear even if its spat by me” -Jay-Z

UPDATE…

OMG!

PICTURE BY JERRITT CLARK

Had some time to do a trip update for you…

So Team F’s trip to NYC has been very productive… Got it in with G-Unit records, today we’re going in to Asylum/WMG & tomorrow… The big boys Atlantic and Universal Thursday….

We’ve been blessed to meet some great talent and my man Jerrit Clark, Fusion, XV,  Swigga Da Don & A-Butta, Elite, Ivan Barias and maybe Scam Jones & Buckwild tonight!

Tony Touch gave us the best look so far and spun F’s records for 30 min set and let nick blaze the mic and interviewed him (video coming soon).

And daam you Nick for getting Natalie’s number from Nina Sky… You know that’s my heart right there… I smell collabo coming so look out! My dreams (Yes it’s my dream for nick to work with my favs) are slowly but surely coming true… 🙂
We’re so locked in and ready to win this year… So yeah… My MANTRA is calm, collective, positive and real… I see sounds people and all those words sound like NICKELUS F… LET’S KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!!!

So I don’t miss much from DC/MD/VA beside my family, friends and my awesome co-works… Not sure if I want to come back… I wish I can put all of you in my pocket and take you with me 😉

Any hoots, back to business and the music 🙂

Team F (Do You Believe?)

I’m gonna keep this short…

I was watching Jay-Z’s Fade To Black today and got inspired to commend the new team Nick (Nickelus F ) and I have assembled to get it going for 2009. See I hadn’t seen Fade To Black since early 2005 when Bei Maejor came to B-More to go to the Nurp! video shoot with us (that was a good time) :-), but this movie made me think of what it takes to be great.  At the end of the day we all aspire to do great things in our lives, but what has drawn us together is the greatness of one artist we truly BELIEVE in. I saw the way these people in this movie came together… The producers, the A&R’s, the fans and friends all showed out for Jay-Z’s symbolic fair well…

I feel we’ve all come together for Nickelus F’s symbolic introduction to the world and it’s going to be big when it sets off… See, Jared and I have been here from close to the beginning, Fusion a couple of years later and Alex and Hustlegrl (Karla) just this year. So I’ve seen people come and go in Nick’s career and it never really phased me. It’s like how people come in go in your regular life… They have an impact or leave a mark or someone helps you develop and change, but if they choose to stick around through it all that means they BELIEVE…

I BELIEVE and I can sincerely say I BELIEVE the new team BELIEVES too. The road to the top has been a rocky one, but in retrospective it’s been the time of my life… I only say that because it makes me happy to see this nigga Nick happy. He has made the greatest sacrifice to do this music shit for his family and friends. He’s also the most gifted talent I’ve seen in a long time too. As many times as it been an option to stop, he kept going and so have I. WE BELIEVE…

It kind of brings tears to my eyes thinking about the shit we endured… Especially Nick & I… The lose of friends, the beefs, the deals that fell through and the deals that we missed… It was all meant to happen for a reason and now that we’re at a point of near solidarity… I can only say, “LET’S DO IT BIG & MAKE IT MONUMENTIOUS!!!”

We leave for NYC tomorrow to do our version of “Nick’s Takeover.” Radio spots… Interviews… Label meetings… Producer meetings… Photo shoots… Video… And the first time we all connect as a unit. It won’t be the last time we do this, but this is going to be one of the more meaningful times…

Whatever happens will be history for us and a good show for all of you and when it’s all said and done and ‘fades to black’ let’s hope we’re all in a sweeter spot. No stopping someone who truly has PASSION for greatness… We’ve all had obstacles, but when you let them get to you that’s when you’re really challenged… I’ve never felt challenged in my life… I just look at things differently and say bring on more obstacles because that’s what keeps me hungry (even though I want to retire when I’m 33)… 😉
