AUDIO: J-Dub "How To Love"

2011-07-14T15:58:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone. I took a stab at covering Lil Wayne's current single "How To Love". It was another opportunity for me to get really introspective and wear my heart on my sleeve. It's yet another look into who I really am as a man.
I hope you enjoy.

2011-03-30T15:38:00.000-07:00

We did it again!

Last week we released a cover of T-Pain's "Motivated". This week... It's Lupe Fiasco's "Words I Never Said". (Which we have dubbed "WINS".)

This is our most personal record to date; as we confess the words we've never said to real people in our lives. (For those familiar with 'Ultimate Alliance', this gets even more personal than "Comfortable"!)

We hope you enjoy this look into our lives and minds. And if you know us personally... listen closely!

Enjoy!

#TeamDreamWork Thursdays

2010-10-25T11:48:00.000-07:00

For those that don't know, the team of artists that we associate with are also known as 'Team DreamWork'. We are not a "group" per se. But we do all work together and support each other in our entertainment ventures.

Well, starting two weeks ago, we all initiated '#TeamDreamWork Thursdays'. Inspired by Kanye West's 'G.O.O.D. Fridays', we will be releasing a new mixtape-style track every Thursday until... until we feel like stopping!

If you missed the last two weeks, check out the link below to hear those songs now! And check back every Thursday afternoon for new music!

Why Video Games?

2010-05-11T12:30:00.000-07:00

I have been asked many times why the Crown Holders mixtapes are named after video games. Well here is my explanation...

Our first mixtape series, aptly named 'Ultimate Alliance', is the introduction to Crown Holders. It was the first full project that combined J-Dub & Comodity. An ultimate alliance of sorts.

The mixtape was named after a game series that the two of us are quite fond of. The game features action, adventure, comedy, and a lot of heroics. That is what we feel like we deliver to the hip hop world.

As we sat back and looked at what hip hop was offering to listeners, we realized that a savior was needed. There was a lack of seriousness in what is called 'the hip hop game'. Key word... "game".
Whenever C and I play a co-op game, we become determined to beat it. We slave away for hours upon hours until our task is complete. It brings out the best in our communication, teamwork, competitiveness, focus, and determination. That is exactly what comes out whenever we tackle our music as well.
So the correlation between music and video games was easy for us to make.

Also, if you look at the album covers for the Ultimate Alliance series, it seems as though we are just lost in a video game. But they say so much more than that. Imagine that the 'game' that we are playing is hip hop. Now look at our reactions to what we are seeing. Our faces show a mix of confusion, confidence, and the readiness to conquer. That accurately represents how we felt about hip hop at both moments in time.
Success is the only option.

Ultimate Alliance 2 should be the end of the UA series for us. (Unless there's a really good part 3 to the game. lol...) But look forward to more of our mixtapes being named after video games.
Actually, if you listen to us closely, you might already know what the next game will be. :-)

Game on!

Get Familiar

2010-04-21T21:35:00.000-07:00

If you pay close attention to either Crown Holder on Twitter (@princecomodity and @jdub4life, for those who aren't following yet. While you're at it--follow @TheCrownHolders! Haha), you'll see that our taste in music is...well, beautiful! Haha. Really though, our ears are everywhere; we don't stick to listening to JUST one genre of music for too long. And I know what you're thinking: Everyone says they listen to EVERYTHING. But I feel like people, especially artists, say that because they feel like they HAVE to say it in order to get respect from a larger demographic. But J-Dub and I have attended concerts of some artists that you've probably only heard of once in your life. On our last USTREAM episode, the Crown Holders got to jam with some of our fans. We played snippets of our favorite Michael Jackson songs for a good 15 minutes. It was too fun! But then we started talking about different artists. And it became clear that The Crown Holders don't listen to "what's cool right now". The albums I listen to on a regular basis are from story tellers. These albums can take you on a ride. Its perfect Zone Out music. And its just freakin' good! So you gotta open your minds, people! Below are some of my personal favorite artists and some of my favorite albums from them. Feel free to dabble in the greatness, guys! Be sure to BUY these albums...getting them for free is LAME! Its for LAME-O's! And C.H fans are NOT lame-o's! Love ya!

J-Dub's Photoshop Fun

2010-04-03T13:04:00.001-07:00

For those that don't know, I love playing around in Photoshop. Graphic design is actually part of my Mon-Fri job. So I like to think that I'm somewhat good at it. :-)

Well, I have been messing around with one of the pictures from the Crown Holders shoot with Cedar Pasori and trying to see what random things I can do with it.

Here are a few of my favorites:

We Guarantee It!

2010-03-24T11:27:00.000-07:00

It's funny, whenever Crown Holders are about to perform we are hit with an onslaught of skeptical looks.
First off, we don't really dress like most rappers. I always like to say that at first glance we more resemble two singers than two rappers. But that's just who we are.

And then we are announced.
"Next up... the Crown Holders!"
It's at that moment that most people in the crowd's faces read, "'Crown Holders'? Yeah right." And I get it. It is a pretty braggadocios name when you first hear it. (But we do have more of a meaning behind it than simply 'bow to us'.)
So now, unless they've seen or heard us before, people have no idea how they are going to feel about us. ...We love that!

And then, sparked by a thunderous 808, and followed by a performance chock full of character, charisma, energy, slight choreography, and pretty much everything that hip hop is supposed to offer, all of the skeptical faces turn into ones of understanding, enjoyment, and slight appreciation.

This is the power of the live show!

As one half of, (and on behalf of), the Crown Holders, I pledge this to you: After seeing us perform live, you may not think we're the best act ever. But you won't hate us. We guarantee it!

I look to my right. J seems fine. As freakin' always.

I mentioned in a text to J a few weeks back that we forgot to pray at the last show. Never again. J said something like "Let's give it up to God." And we both went into our own silent prayers. I couldn't help but notice that we finished at the same time, both ending with the sign of the cross and kissing up to the Lord's hand. Wouldn't it be funny, I thought, if our prayers were spoken exactly the same way?

We hit the stage, and as I post a status on Facebook, J says "How's everyone doing tonight?"...Why do people never respond the first time? "Ahem...HOW'S EVERYONE DOING TONIGHT?!" I scream--realizing at that moment that the mic I have is very loud. We do NOT look like rappers. These guys probably think we're gonna stand up here and serenade their women...well we are, just in a different way ^_^. Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom CLAP--We are the Crown Holders! That always happens so fast. I'm never ready for it. Which is funny--cause the first song we perform is called "You Ready Yet?"

You Ready Yet? Hahaha--"Dub keeps it real, son. I don't think they're ready, C!"..."Wow, this place is packed. Its like 11pm, people have work in the morning, but they're here. Dope!... J's verse isn't over yet. I love performances when I feel like the first song taking forever to end.... .... I'm wearing a cardigan... And a V-Neck. Is she cute?... Nah. I'd probably be able to see her better if I took my shades off. I refuse... It's gonna be real hard to do that backwards step thing I do with this cord dangling by my feet. Eh, pulled it off. Did that guy just wink at me?... Oh, something's in his eye. Did a camera just flash from someone who isn't yet a fan of C.H? Sweet!--Oh'pe! My turn!" "Rap's Architect is back, I just built myself a complex!"...

Wheels Fall Off. "Is that guy doing the bounce?...Why? J's verse just went by smoothly. "OK, here's my Blueprint..." Four bars in, I'm good. Wait...yo, did the chorus just come in, in the middle of my verse?...Who's the engineer, Tracy Morgan?...Wait--my verse is back? Um..."Just turned 21, baby its my birthday!...?" Well that worked! Swaet!... How'd I do that? Man, I am HUNGRY! The people in the VIP section are really liking this. Dope! Hey--you, sign us! Haha. Aw, this song's over already? Time for the next!"

Just Like Me. "J did the zipper thing this time. We didn't do it at the last show. Crap, I messed up on the 'fitted down low' part. Hate when I do that. "Put out to the left and then you all put on your blinker...man!" That part is always so clean...did he know that I wasn't gonna do the beginning part of my part of the chorus? He just--like, did it for me! Can we even call this a team? This is some other sh*t! We're like a super natural duo!...Hey, what if I did my high step from way in the back? I could fall...I've fallen before, its not so bad. Anyway, I'm already back by the mic stands. And high step high step high step high step "Skinny jean rocker wear it proper cause I'm cool as cold!" I'm screaming this verse. Can I be heard? Is it too late to pull back now? Whatever, I like not having a voice in the morning! Here it comes, my favorite part--"Skull shirt. Hi, swag!" Aaand wipe your chest, stomach--flip your jacket--J did the same thing. Dope! VIP likes that. Sweet! What's Taylor Swift doing right now?...focus. Have I always made the sign of the cross while saying "Its style that I'm bless with..."?? Hm...doing the reject. This part is fun. J looks at me like I'm crazy--aaand I hurt my back. Comedy. J thanks everyone for coming out--He is J-Dub, I am Comodity...and together..."

WE ARE THE CROWN HOLDERS!

How Low Can You Go?

2010-01-31T19:08:00.000-08:00

As I sit back and listen to the "hip hop of today", I am often left with one hand over my face while I shake my head disapprovingly. What happened to the hip hop that I fell in love with years ago? I remember when lyrical content meant something. When rappers did more than string together a bunch of random punch lines. When stories were told. When songs had... concepts.

Do you remember those days?

I was never one to buy into the "hip hop is dead" slogan. But I will agree that it is at an all-time low.
The respect for the game has been lost.
The passion for the art form has been lost.

But don't worry. Just over the horizon stands two lone rangers. They are willing to hold the torch in hip hop's darkest of times.

Hey hip hop, we're up here. Are you coming?
We are the Crown Holders!

Debate--Hip Hop Ciphers

2009-10-28T12:28:00.000-07:00

http://Crownholders.blogspot.com

Debate--Hip Hop Ciphers

I had an argument--wait no, it was more like a debate..

I had a debate with an acquaintance this morning about Part 3 of the BET Hip Hop Awards cipher. The cipher began with a verse from Mos Def. His verse was one that I've heard before. Its one of my favorite Mos verses, so I wasn't mad at him, he definitely represented BK well! The second emcee to spit was The Roots' Black Thought, a monster. If you don't know Black Thought, you don't know how Phili gets down, the man murdered! And then of course, to put the nail on the coffin--Eminem....wow, this blog has the potential to be a little biased. Haha--not really.

The discussion began with James (my acquaintance), Marcus (some other guy) and me talking bout Mos Def's verse. He was disappointed that the verse was recycled and he mentioned that it should have been an actual freestyle. But really, did ANYONE freestyle in those ciphers (other than KRS One)? Honestly...rappers don't freestlye anymore (unless you're KRS One). Its SO rare to come across a cipher and actually hear someone rapping LITERALLY off the top (unless its KRS is there). Its normal, now, for rappers to just walk into a circle of people and spit a verse they just memorized...and there's nothing wrong with that! Oh and well, KRS' verse was freestyle...but he can do that. Haha--I knew that once I argued that point, he was going to say something that was going to hit a nerve...I could FEEL IT!

Marcus and I then spoke about Black Thought's verse. We both agreed that he killed. But...when I said "Yeah, I really enjoyed his verse." James cut in and said "Nah that's not enough! You can't just 'enjoy' a verse like that. It went HARD! You should say you LOVED it!" Marcus rolled his eyes...then I thought..."Yeah...and because YOU loved it, I should too, because the only person in the world who's allowed to have an opinion is...James. Hm..."

I held my tongue despite the slow, angering feeling building in the pit of my stomach towards James. I think Marcus could sense my anger cause I hadn't said anything for, what felt like, a full 30 seconds before responding to James' unenthusiastic sentence that started with "Oh yeah...and then...Eminem." Which was (my reply -->) "Oh yeah...well he killed. He was a good choice to end the ciphers. His verse was insane." And it was! But according to James, it was wack...-_- really, Jim? "Man, I hate people that think they know Hip Hop," he began, "just because they like a rapper that raps too fast or says some smart sh*t that not everyone can understand. That's why Lupe's not hot. And that's why I don't like n*ggas like Jay-Z."

I think I almost lost it right then and there. But I wasn't gonna scream at the guy. I'd probably end up saying something 'too smart for him to understand.' But I wasn't about to let him insult 3 rappers that LIVE in my top 5 favorite emcees list! Eff that! "James, with all due respect," I said with a smirk on my face "Do you ENJOY sounding like an idiot? Do you have any idea how dumb you sound? Saying that I don't know Hip Hop because I enjoy listening to artists who say things that YOU can't comprehend is ignorant. And its sad. Its impossible to think LESS of someone who's SMARTER than you. Plus, Hip Hop is about diversity. We have artists like Gucci Mayne and Lupe Fiasco making music in the same genre and are able to co-exist! That's diversity! But people who only listen to one type of artist for reasons like 'Oh, they say things too smart for me to get' is straight up RETARDED. Read a damn book, pick up a dictionary. Explore music, don't stay stuck on the Island of Stupid...that's an ugly island...but you're probably stranded, huh?"

Then James walked away, leaving Marcus standing next to me, staring with his jaw on the floor. He told me he was surprised James didn't hit me...but I was happy with myself. I may not have gotten through to James...but I KNOW I got my point across. So I won the debate...and I rock =)

Book Review: 'Bereolaesque'

2009-10-22T11:37:00.001-07:00

After reading an online review of a new book entitled 'Bereolaesque: The Contemporary Gentleman & Etiquette Book for the Urban Sophisticate' I knew that I had to read it for myself. For quite some time I have been saying that the presence of the 'gentleman' has been on a steady decline. Someone needs to speak to this generation of young men that have no idea how to behave themselves in the corporate or social worlds.

And just when I thought this downward spiral would continue, here comes this book. While waiting for my book to be shipped to me I began following the author, Enitan O. Bereola II, on twitter, (@bereolaesque). The little tidbits that this man was sharing was exactly what I think ever young man, and woman, should hear. That was another thing that I loved... his tips are not just for gentlemen, but for ladies as well.

Anyway, when I finally received the book I read it cover to cover in one night. It was an easy read and definitely reinforced many of my thoughts about being a young, intelligent, sophisticated, dignified man in this world. It was nice to see some of the points that I had already known because that showed me that my mother was already raising me well.

Long story short, I recommend this book for anyone trying to better themselves in any way. And good news ladies... Bereola's next book will be geared towards you.

"Knock Knock" (National Poetry Day)

2009-10-08T10:41:00.000-07:00

Since today is National Poetry Day, (in Britain), I felt that it was only right to speak on this. It is no surprise that poetry is closely related to Hip Hop. In many cases I have written songs that are literally poetry placed on top of music. I encourage everyone to keep their creative juices flowing as much as they can. Whether it be poetry, hip hop, spoken word, whatever... let your mind grow and express itself as often as possible.

To commemorate National Poetry Day, here is one of my favorite spoken word pieces:
"Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty

You Ready Yet???

2009-09-06T01:01:00.000-07:00

I'm sure you all have seen the video PSAs from Crown Holders,
the question we keep asking you guys is...

"You Ready Yet?"

Our cross over fans who really KNOW J-Dub and Comodity
were screaming "Uh Ohh" when we first announced our official
Ultimate Alliance as Crown Holders, and I think it became clear to
our new fans that we're gonna put you on the game. We're pretty much nice guys,
so its not easy to get on our bad side, we're just all about bringing the fun back to
Hip Hop. But our lyrics are hard hitting, our energy is unmatched.
We're really on our way to becoming true champions.
We treat our fans like they're our friends, so with us, they're comfortable.
Especially the ladies =). "Girl, you know I gotcha!...I'll hurt you...in a good way."
Ha! See, that's the true essence of Da Crown Holders! We're CLOWNS! And you can bet that every time you hear us, we go in!
All rappers say they have "Swagga", but as soon as we step in the room,
all the lame rapper's careers are found DOA!!

Crown Holders Mixtape ULTIMATE ALLIANCE drops on Tuesday, September 8th!

Doo Doo Mamas

2009-08-26T14:40:00.000-07:00

Doo Doo Mamas...
I've recently just come to the realization that doo doo mamas have no idea that they are doo doo mamas!!! That scares the hell out of me. But think about it... doo doos walk the Earth acting like they're just as sexy and pretty as the next girl. Which is not a good look, cause I believe that if you THINK you're pretty, you can attract a member of the opposite sex. Which is also not a good look!

I've been studying the nature of the doo doo mama. The girl whose behavior I was studying had a boyfriend, a few tattoos and an attitude like someone on perminant PMS. She did have a name, but we'll just call her... ... ...Heather (idk, don't ask).

Heather wore short shorts for the first 3 days of my study, despite the cellulite on her thighs. She wore weeve, of course. There is nothing wrong with weeve in my opinion...unless its colored. Heather's weeve had 3 different colors. The more I watched her for this study, the more I disliked her. But that's just the nature that comes with being around a doo doo mama. Slight hatred from the people around her. The doo doo mama will call you a "hater" for criticizing any way that she dresses or any flaw in her character. That's just because her subconscious is the only thing in her that knows she's a doo doo mama.

Her boyfriend's name was... ... ...Michael (again, don't ask). He was a strapping young fellow, eager to play basketball in college or rap...or something. He wore flannel shirts and skinny jeans and had perfected the dance move currently known as "The Reject". But a reject he was not...or was he? In my opinion, this boy looked like he could get a girl better looking than Heather. But he almost refused. He and I engaged in friendly conversation and he referred to his beloved Heather as "Wifey"...I began to slightly dislike Michael too. But not only because he was an idiot, which he was. I began to slightly hate him simply because he had no ambition. Ambition should start by setting your standards for the opposite sex...and here he was, Michael, in all his retardation, setting the bar extremely low...

Heather opened my eyes to the doo doo mama in other ways, also. Music, for one! Doo doo mamas HATE female artists (and celebrities for that matter). Heather particularly hated Beyonce, former member of the Destiny's Child singing group and wife of Jay-Z...best rapper ever. Michael had grown an large infatuation with Beyonce over the years, and Heather resented Beyonce for it. Before becoming Michael's "Wifey", Heather told me that she loved Beyonce, she listened to her almost religiously and even aspired to sing like her (I made the mistake of letting her sing her favorite Beyonce song for me... ...not a good decision on my part). But as soon as Michael "wifed her up"...(raises eyebrow)...she decided Beyonce was a b*tch. A b*tch! It saddened me to see the angry look in her eyes. I wasn't sad for Beyonce...nor was my sorrow for Heather or Michael. It was self pity...yes, my sorrow was for myself, that I had decided to conduct a study on such a retarded subject.

I made the decision to try and convince Heather that the doo doo mama lifestyle was not a way to live. But she simply said to me as she patted the purple part of her weeve down with her left and and scratched the orange/red part with the other: "I'm not no damn doo doo mama. Ya mama's a doo doo mama N*GGA!...now..." and she chewed loudly on her gum.

In closing... ...I have no idea why I spent a week following a doo doo mama, documenting her life and in the end, trying to persuade her to be a respectable black woman. It was as pointless as trying to prevent Michael Vick from making dogs kill each other two years ago... ...low blow? Sorry.

Two New Hot 100 Records

2009-08-20T09:28:00.000-07:00

The Black Eyed Peas and Jason Mraz both break Billboard records this week.
Here is an excerpt from today's Billboard Bulletin.

Two longevity records will be shattered on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart to be released on Billboard.biz Thursday
(Aug. 20) morning. With an eighth consecutive week at
No. 1 for "I Gotta Feeling," the Black Eyed Peas will have
held the top slot for an unprecedented 20 straight weeks,
having previously led the list for the prior 12 frames with
"Boom Boom Pow," the lead single from its Billboard 200-
topping album "The E.N.D." Also entering the record
books is Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," which spends an extraordinary
70th week on the Hot 100. The track debuted
on the May 3, 2008, chart and peaked at No. 6 nearly a year
ago, on Sept. 20, 2008. The song has resided within the
top 40 of the list in all but the first 12 weeks of its chart
life, dropping 23-29 on the latest tally.

The Black Eyed Peas' 20-week string atop the Hot 100
surpasses Usher's run of 19 consecutive weeks achieved
in 2004 with "Yeah!" and "Burn."

For Mraz, his never-say-die single overtakes the weekson-
chart mark held for nearly 11 years by LeAnn Rimes'
signature hit "How Do I Live." That ubiquitous track spent
69 weeks on the Hot 100, with its final frame occurring
on the Oct. 10, 1998, chart.

Somber times

2009-08-11T13:49:00.000-07:00

So many unexpected things happen to us in our lives. Most we can bounce back from. But some, some just seem too hard to do so. It's in those moments that our strength, faith and character is tested. We may not always know the reasons for these tests, but we must remember that they are here to make us stronger, not to tear us down.

If you love someone, tell them. Tell them sincerely and often. You never know which time might be the last.

Best wishes to the families and friends of all those who we have lost recently.
A person's true legacy is how they live on in the hearts and minds of the people they've affected in this world.

Live, love & learn!

Keri Hilson covers Complex

2009-08-04T12:55:00.000-07:00

I am NOT mad at this. Keri is definitely a rising talent in this industry. I'm a fan of her music and have been for years. And to think, she's not even polished yet.

Good look on the mag cover Keri. (I know Comodity LOVES it!!) Hahaha...

It's almost that time

I'm so happy to see this.

"When Chris Rock's daughter, Lola, came up to him crying and asked, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?", the bewildered comic committed himself to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl's head! The result is "Good Hair", a wonderfully insightful and entertaining, yet remarkably serious, documentary about African American hair culture.

Celebrities such as Ice-T, Kerry Washington, Nia Long, Paul Mooney, Raven Symoné, Maya Angelou, and Reverend Al Sharpton all offer their stories and observations to Rock while he struggles with the task of figuring out how to respond to his daughter’s question."

Check out the trailer below.

I hope this helps with the way a lot of black people view the whole "good hair" issue.

Live, love & learn!

I don't mean to boast but....Damn If I Don't Brag!

2009-07-29T10:20:00.000-07:00

Haha... Yesterday I was hangin' out with a friend. We were waiting for my dude Chris at a park so we could play a few games of basketball. So the first park we hit was North Hollywood park. We never ball there cause the courts are always crowded by a bunch of dudes who swear they're playin' in the NBA. But it was the closest park to me so...yeah. Haha. Soon as we walked into the park, we saw a small circle of people in a shaded section, and one guy was rapping. For some reason, when I see a cipher, I start walking UBER fast. And then at the last minute I try and slow down to make it look like I'm just a regular passerby who's just interested in listening to a bunch of guys rap.

I forgot that half of Noho knows me as that kiid who "Goes Hard". If you ask a random dude in Noho if he knows Comodity, he'll say "Yeah that's my n*gga. He goes hard!" And if he doesn't know me by my name, all you have to do is say "That dude that everyone says 'Goes Hard'?"... Guaranteed response: "Oh yeah! That's my n*gga! He goes hard!" Haha, so I walk up and one guy looks at me and says "YES!! YES!! Yo, this guy goes hard, let him spit a few man." So I did, and I almost kinda surprised myself. Honestly, I haven't been in a really good cipher in MONTHS. I've still had only one EPIC cipher, but remind me to tell you guys about that in another blog (J-Dub & Comodity vs. 5 ugly rappers @ the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood). But the small crowd seemed pleased with my bars.

But theennn. We met up with Chris, played some ball at another park (kicked ass in 2 games! But lost one haha), went to leave and headed for the parking lot...aaand sure enough there was a large circle of people surrounding a guy rapping. I pretty much ran to this one! Hahaha. The crowd was REALLY pleased with what I had to say in that cipher. I couldn't even get through half of my verses cause my lines kept making people say "OOOOOOHHH" too loudly. It felt good!! Oh, and you already know, I represented Royal Fam and Crown Holders to the FULLEST! Always! Haha.

I just wanted to share that with y'all. Thanks for readin'!!

-Comodity!

Anticipation is half the fun

2009-07-27T16:10:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how excited I am for this Crown Holders project. It's like that feeling of making my first album all over again. The music that myself and Comodity are making feels so good to be a part of. It's funny, because I'm anticipating the mixtape and the album like I've never heard the music. But I was definitely there every step of the way. lol...

I feel like the Crown Holders projects will give you (the fans) a great representation of who we are as artists. You would think that our solo work would do a better job of this, but working together is making our styles evolve so much. I've never heard myself flow the way I am right now. I've never puts words together like this before. And neither has Comodity. We're both in rare form right now.

I've always loved my own music. I've always made music that felt right in my heart. Music that I would never be ashamed of. But for the first time I feel like a fan. A fan of myself. But not just a J-Dub fan. And not just a Comodity fan. But a Crown Holders fan! And no matter how you got to the Crown Holders, whether you were a J-Dub fan, a Comodity fan, or we're brand new to you, I really feel that everyone will like what they hear with what we've got going now.
That's the goal.

Until then... I'm waiting with all of you.

Holla back!

P.S.
The CH mixtape is coming REAL SOON! :)

Random Blogging...good for stress??

2009-07-27T10:16:00.000-07:00

This is going to be THEE most random blog ever. I'm going through bad chest pains and I feel like I've been deprived of sleep (though I haven't), so I feel the need to say any random thing that comes to my mind until I pass out on this computer.. =D

I like eggs.
Fat dogs are the best, cause you can kick them and run and they won't catch you.
Wolverine's claws are sharp.
What does USB stand for?
If you know what USB stands for...you're a nerd.
I like nerds.
Spanish is an easy language to learn if you compare it to alien languages.
Why do babies look like E.T.?
I don't mean Entertainment Tonight when I say E.T.
Have you ever gotten a toe nail in your eye due to poor clipping?
They should have toe nail clipping training.
You know what I like?...eggs.
Dinosaur eggs must have been big.
I wonder...if you hard boil a dinosaur egg, will it hatch faster? Or will it taste great with salt?
Can Fred Flinstone beat up George Jetson?...hm.

How do we know that humans really get diabetes from sugar? My friend's dog just got diabetes...and all he eats is dog food! Maybe--hm...Maybe diabetes is an STD, and we just don't know it yet. But scientists DO know it, they're just keeping it from us because thats their little nerdy way of ruling the world!!...sons of b*****s!

...Sorry.

Well...that was refreshing. I think people should practice random blogging as a stress reliever. Haha! Um... Thanks for reading? Yeah! Pfft--Hollaback!

So I'm sure that everyone has seen the recent barrage of women cutting/shaving their hair. I'm curious as to what everyone else feels about this growing trend. Is it the hottest thing to do right now, or is it a straight up style faux pas?

I recently saw a girl at the beach rocking "the Cassie". But she had the right side of her head shaved and the rest in individuals (braids). Now is that taking it too far??
I'm personally not a big fan of this new style. For instance, I thought Cassie was the flyest girl out... But now, I feel like it went a step too far. But maybe I'm just unenlightened.
Please share your thoughts with me.

Holla back!
