Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager

Somebody sort of introduced me to this artist. Not literally. However, because of this I can legitimately say I was listening to Kid Cudi before his hype machine took off. I'm into his music big time. He seems very creative for this hip hop genre. If hip hop were to take any new steps in the next couple of years, Kid Cudi would definitely be a stepping stone in all of it. This new album is a prime example of what I just said. Eery, and zappy beats. Sort of futuristic? But desire able as well. By the end of this I will Probably recommend listening to a few songs. But when I say this I am serious.. Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager is a super good album. Take time to listen to this, please. You were right Kanye! Stay clean. And...Almost forgot about the cool but short piano pieces in the mix. As well as the xylophone. Peep those too. I recommend listening to Ashin' Kusher, Mr Rager, We Aite Make Your Mind Up, Maniac, and Scott Mescudi vs The World. Arrivederci.

Almost December

Cover your ears, and close your eye's
All of my fears are troublesome lie's
This snow is far too reminding
Of something once searching for, and later on finding
Concequence from bitter nightmares constant
These days stay the same
Oh these days stay the same

Freedom first century from miles so far
Seems far with no comply
I've seen you before
Heart shark chaser with a crooked looking eye

Renew, Reuse, Recreate.

I feel pressured. But I choose to. 6 years after graduating high school I finally feel like I have a shot. A shot at something that feels proper for me. I spent nearly 6 years... 6 years of my so called road to adult hood pondering, avoiding, and neglecting. The confusion and over dramatics. The carelessness. But most of all, the neglect. I'm talking about continuing education or what ever you want to call it. College, what ever. For the people out there that enrolled right out of high school? You's are one of many groups I admire. ( This doesnt mean I'm saying its bad not to go back to school ). It just seems powerful to me. Almost a statement. To enroll right out of high school. I always thought that something would just come to me. It doesn't work that way for most of us though. You see, this is what I am trying to say. I have spent months, days, hours, and literally seconds. Wasting away while I thought about what I could become. Music has always had a huge impact on me in the most un-identifying way. I am not in a band. But I always wish I was and most people that know me know that. I study movements of genres, groups, and all influental things that take such a mass effect on me. Tomorrow I could be into blue-grass, and I can accept that. Music has lead me into this project I started a little over a year ago. This blog has become apart of my life, and I dont know who is reading. I have friends that have huge impact on my influence as well, I cant forget that. But you see, through music, influence, and creativity. I have created something that nobody can take away from me. No matter any circumstance. Passed all the bells and whistles, and through the smoke. I truly have something that I enjoy doing. That now brings me to this. I have recently decided to apply for a couple courses that involve writing and other activities and experties I am into. I want to learn. So if you are still following me. In the end, everything I was looking for was right in front of me. I just couldn't see it. Music was my foundation. Influence came through friendships, and through personal awareness. Creativity came through my own mind. The mind I can't control sometimes from writing. I am grateful for my awareness, regardless of how the rest turns out. For almost my entire life. I heard quotes and references about keeping your dreams close. Stuff about believing in anything, and it happening. I never felt it. Miracles do exist, just so you know. They can happen in any of the smallest ways that maybe only you can notice. But they exist. Most of us are fortunate enough to control our futures. We dont appreciate it until maybe it gets taken away from us? If you are fortunate enough to think right now, and realize how much power you have. And how much there is to live for. Then you are lucky.

Still a few Cowboy's in Dallas

I talked a lot of S*** about about Jon Kitna the last two weeks. I hope this picture is as funny to you as I thought. Seems like he should be on that king crab fishing show. Nonetheless the Dallas Cowboy's deserved their week 10 win. 33-20 final.

Let's play the blame game

Things used to be, now they not
Anything but us is who we are
Disguising ourselves as secret lovers
We've become public enemies
We walk away like strangers in the street
Gone for eternity
We erased one another
So far from where we came
With so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
Lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
Hatred and attitude tear us entirely

And I know that you are somehwere doing your thing
And when the phone called it just ring and ring
You aint pick up but your phone accidently called me back
And I heard the whole thing.
I heard the whole thing, the whole thing, the whole thing...

I dont have a data plan anymore!

Early Friday night, again. 2nd Domino's pizza delivered in the last month that wasn't cut. They credited me a medium 2 topping. I just ordered it. Double Brooklyn Pepperoni. I watched Jennifer's Body last night. What a weird plot for a horror flick. Ha ha, here is something funny. I bought a lottery ticket last night.

Oh, another thing. I heard Cudi has a new album ready for release soon. Kanye has hyped it up, man. He also tweeted saying " Please go pre order Kid Cudi's album. He is my Favorite living artist and I'm not just cause he's on my label ". That's strong?

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

If you can some way find this leaked song it will be well worth your time.

Kanye West - blame game (feat. John Legend)

This song is amazing. This song is one of many reasons I like what I like, am who I am, and do what I do. All because I want to of course. But how hard can music hit a person? How far can an artist, group, or band go to influence? How does music do this? Most of all. Why? What does it stand for? Together, we are amazing. Together, we are everything. Music.

" Anything but us, is who we are ".

Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring

Another weekend. Another caved in Friday night, and probably another late night eat? On the exciting part of things tonight in Winnipeg is the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards at the MTS Centre. Envy?

I was in a bus shack last Tuesday waiting for a bus. I have been wanting to say this. There was a group of ordinary people inside this shack. Then the door opens and this tall man steps inside. He begins talking to who ever notices him first. He then says that he just got rejected from the hospital because he wanted to take his own life and they for some reason declined his needed attention. Then he says he was nearly arrested the day before for trying to step in front of a car once again to commit suicide. Now, you see this is where I feel guilt. Instantly my head notched up because of my nature. I remember saying to myself " I cant let this guy go ". Before I could make what felt like a split second decision. The man said to everybody " if you hear about a man jumping off a building downtown it's me ". " I tried to get help because I know I have head problems, but they wont help me ". Regardless of his situation or his stability. I crumbled. I thought of his family members that would maybe hear about this on the news or news paper. Then he hopped on a bus.. and that was that. It bothered me for the rest of the entire day. Checking the news, looking in the paper. But nothing in the end. No evidence of a man taking his own life or passing someway. Relieving? Maybe a little bit. There are reasons why things happen to us. Everyday. Some of us just choose not to believe it. I feel like maybe I could have helped this man. Somehow, someway. But I will never know, and that's what kills me. All I wanted to do was tell one person. Instead I could be potentially telling thousands. Some of us think we have it so bad. Most are blessed. Some are unfortunate. I remember this song by a group called Underoath. They wrote a song called " Some will seek forgiveness, others escape ". That line is dedicated to this man form the bus shack. God bless you man. I hope you're OK.


I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.

Shawn Khalifa Man

In the start I made this for myself. I had so many un told stories. So many opinions and views on genres of music, and artist's. I probably always will. However, I went through some stats on the personal side of blogger over here. I came across a a few small groups of people that view this or have viewed this from across the world. What's up LATVIA! SOUTH KOREA, VIETNAM, BRAZIL, I see you! TAIWAN, JAPAN, and SPAIN, how you doing? Whats good RUSSIA?! All you YANKS out there, what's up?! Last but not least the MAPLE LEAFS out there seeing this. Whut upp? It's so cool to see how different people around the world can view things through networks. Haha, on the other hand. I could be wrong. Some people may have come across this blog because of accident. Nontheless hello and much love from Winnipeg aka River City aka Peg Gritty aka Chilly City aka We Dont Need The Future Over Here Because Nothing Changes. Enjoy Yourselves.

Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards 2010

I am all about exposure when it comes to local music. This year the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Awards are going down here in Winnipeg. To me it sounds pretty hype because I have had the opportunity like many others in Winnipeg to hear local hip hop artists. Mainly because of the foundation built around the latest hip hop and R&B radio station Streetz 104.7. Leak! It just seems awesome how that nish is going on in our city. Somebody also told me that local hip hop group Winnipeg's Most will be performing. They also are nominated for best new group of the year, best new artist, best rap / hip-hop CD, and single of the year. Young Kidd also is nominated for best rap / hip-hop CD, and single of the year. These all take place November 5th, 2010.
