Coldplay - Strawberry Swing Video

This is the lastest single from Coldplay's Viva La Vida LP. I have always appreciated the song, and the video compliments it sooo well! I love the childlike imagery used in this video. At times, you forget that this is even a music video....OH! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL FEELING THAT IS!!!!

Cool Quote of the Week: Coldplay- Lost

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Get Familiar: Nasir Jones

Nas holds up his end of the bargain by releasing this new track with last year’s Red Bull “Big Tune” beat battle winner, 17 year old Charles “C-Sick” Dumazer. The competition featured a plethora of beatmakers from all across the nation, all contending for a chance to produce a track with arguably the greatest MC ever, Nas. Amazingly, C-Sick managed to win the competition with just merely a Toshiba laptop and FL Studios 7 software. Not to mention he utilizes Google to search for songs and sounds for his beats. Impressive, check out the track. viahYPebeast

Super Cool Music: Part II

They say that you can tell a man character not by how he acts in moments of triumph, but in moments of anguish. As Clifford "T.I." Harris' life goes, controversy is his best friend. Trials (no pun intended) and tribulations make or break a person. T.I. makes it loud and clear that 'hard takes a day and impossible takes a week' for him. In the midst of his most public hip hop beef known to date and a looming jail sentence on the horizon, that he is not fazed. He is actually enlightened and inspired simultaneously. The self proclaimed "King of the South" dethroned himself on his last effort, T.I. vs T.I.P. While it was an exceptional publicity stunt, the project overall lacked substance. While it consisted of many radio friendly songs, that effort did not exude the heart of a, king, if you will.

Fast forward to autumn 2007, T.I. was arrested the night of the B.E.T. Hip Hop Awards ( coincidence? NO) for possession of illegal firearms...not just any firearms...machine guns....WITH SILENCERS! Oh, and did I mention that he is a 3 time felon? It looked like the King of South had officially been buried. Then he releases "No Matter What,"a song about overcoming any situation that you are faced with. From then on, song after song leaked and successfully continued to sway the audience towards his album.

Then you buy the album and the first song " I'm Illy" leaves your jaw dropped like Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl. He then proceeds to spill his heart song, after, song, after, song. At some point you wonder why he's still harping on his beef with fellow ATLien Shawty Lo, but its from his heart. What more could you ask for? Also, he revealed that for this album, he started writing down his lyrics (take a hint Dwayne Carter!) which gave him a chance to really reflect on the message that he wanted to convey since he has become a voice for stopping violence. In every cloud is a silver lining, well in this case, a platinum plaque... We'll see you when you get out T.I....that is, if you EVER do go to jail.

Super Cool Music: Part I

You know school has started when: it's been 72 hours and you haven't seen Sportscenter, you haven't downloaded music in a week, and you go to bed and wake up for class in the same hour. Since school started last week, homework has increased, and life has decreased. I have been deduced to reading about Prehistoric art instead of the newest Nike Dunks that came out last week (ugh!). Yesterday, I found a couple of free hours under my bed, so I used them to catch up on some music that I have missing out on: two of the most controversial artists in hip hop right now, The Game & T.I., or T.I.P. depending on his mental state at the time.

The Game was ushered into the game on the coattails of Dr.Dre owned Aftermath Records. With the likes of Eminem, Busta Rhymes, and 50 cent as mentors, there is no way that one cannot succeed. As the story goes, Game soared off into the sunset with his first release, The Documentary, which featured the radio friendly "This is How we Do." By his second release, Doctor's Advocate, there was trouble in paradise, as his relationships with Dr.Dre & 50 cent were severed. We then saw a different side of The Game, pun intended. He was thirsty for conflict and sought lyrical warfare everyone from Joe Buddens to G Unit. This undoubtedly gave his image a new look.

With family becoming more of a priority on his third album, L.A.X., he is not looking to take a break from beef, but to spend more time with his loved ones. When family is involved, most people become more focused and more motivated, as this is the case for him on this album. His use of anti poetry is a flash of genius! His gritty content coupled with his colorful metaphors enables you to see the seams in the threads of his red bandanna. As usual, he never holds his tongue for the sake of respect; but as they say, the same thing that makes you laugh will be same thing that makes you cry. The Game's creativity is unmatched by many and his work ethic, recording 300 songs for this release, is inhumane. As much as I cringe when he speaks in interviews, I cannot help but to appreciate his artistry, as he takes your mind and soul on a journey your favorite book could never fathom. Until next time...-Find your swank. Think insane. Be urbane.
