Gay Marriage hits NY!!

On June 24th, the senate passed the Gay Marriage Bill (33-29) which will be officially put into affect July 24, 2011.

This is a phenomenal accomplishement in gay rights. I was so shocked when the bill did not get passed in California but there was no doubt in my mind that New York would pass it.

You all already know how I feel about gay rights so I'm not going to go on another rant about it, but I'm just really excited and happy for everyone who this will positively effect. As far as the negative, we all know the major issue is religion but when it comes down to it "God loves ALL his children". God doesn't hate the sinner but the sin.

Marriage should be for everyone so let's go fall in love!

Happy Birthday Tupac!!

Tupac Shakur would be 40 today!

(June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996)

(that smile melts my heart)

Words can't describe how much this man influenced not only Hip Hop but my life. Tupac Amaru Shakur was a rapper, lyricist, poet, actor, activist, and revolutionary. Although the 1980s get all the praise, I believe the 90s were some of the best years in terms of entertainment. Since I grew up in the 90s, I'm an expert ;) When it comes to music Tupac or 2pac was definitely the one to listen to...unless you fell into the pointless Eastcoast vs Westcoast beef. WAKE UP...its ok to like BOTH Tupac and Biggie!

His music had a way to speak to you. Although he spoke of the streets, people from all walks of life (including me from the suburbs) could easily relate to his songs. He offered a voice to Black youth...scratch that Black people in general. It's honestly a breath of fresh air when an artists comes out speaking of more than drugs, sex and violence. Not to say that Tupac didn't speak of these things, but he also spoke of poverty, unity, overcoming obstacles, pure love for women...especially his mom, and much more.

Feel Good Music...

California Love: This song still gets me hype to this day. Summer time is the perfect time to blast this song through your speakers. It made you wish you were from Cali. One of the many hot records produced after joining Death Row Records.

I Get Around: It was no lie that Tupac knew how to have a good time. His smile made him so loveable and his personality surpassed the bit of negativity that surrounded him. This was his plea to women letting them know monogamy is a foreign word to him...lol.

Everthing's going to be ok...

Keep Ya Head Up: a woman's anthem.period

Until the End of Time: Staying true to yourself

Changes: Hip Hop meets Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On". There was and still is so much cruelty and hatred in the world...something needs to change. He understood the Black struggle and wanted to lend a voice, saying everything will soon get better.

There are so many beautiful, wonderful, feel-good songs this man has created...the list goes on and on.

I would love to have just one conversation with him. It would probably last for hours because this man is so deep and in tune with the world around him.

Rest in Peace...and again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

p.s who ever this is claiming to have shot Tupac is an asshole

Artist Spotlight: The Weekend

The Weekend drops two new tracks!

Abel Tesfaye, singer, songwriter, and front man of The Weekend, is amazing to say the least. The Toronto based artist is on the verge of a new idiosyncratic form of R&B. He's also not bad on the eyes either. Thanks to friend and fellowToronto based rapper, Drake, for tweeting a lyric from one of his songs, The Weekend has been receiving a lot of praise.

Why The Weekend? Forget about blunt sexual lyrics, Abel Tesfaye sings to women about their needs. Yearning to feel their touch and understanding their need to just be held. Does he still talk about sex? Of course he's only human, but the way he goes about it is like no other. He looks to explore women; their mind, body and soul. Musiq Soulchild meets Trey Songz.

The most recent mixtape, House of Balloons, which dropped March 21, 2011 is gaining an immense amount of popularity and has been in deep rotation on my Ipod for two months. Please check it out...my favorite song is "Wicked Games".

The nine song mixtape is actually one of a 3-part trilogy. Following House of Balloons will be Thursday (dropping this summer) and Echoes of Silence (dropping in the fall).  His recently released tracks"Rolling Stone" and "The Birds" will be on his Thursday LP. Canada has really bringing the fire and the sexy lately.

While You Lookin Bitter...I'll Be Looking Better

Kreayshawn gets signed to Columbia!

White Girl Mafia

(Kreayshawn, Lil Debbie, VNasty)

Real name, Natassia Zolot, Kreayshawn aka "the based goddess", has been creating a buzz lately. The Cali based rapper spits about weed, parties, violence and women. There's not much I can say about her, because I'm still trying to figure her out. Can't say if I love her or hate her...I love her style though. Her rhymes are kind of comedic and watching her in videos makes it hard to take her seriously but her "Gucci Gucci" single will definitely get stuck in your head. "Gucci Gucci, Loui Loui, Fendi Fendi, Prada...basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother" LOL.

Check out VNasty too, she can spit something lite

Video Fab: Tyler the Creator ft. Frank Ocean- She

Front man of OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All or Odd Future ), Tyler the Creator, has released his latest video "She". I've listen to a few odd future songs, mostly Tyler the Creator, and they're iight. Still figuring them out for myself, I'm not just going to jump on the band wagon and act like im their biggest fan...but so far they're ok. They're lyrics can be a bit crazy but sometimes in good taste.

Literary Lust: Zoe Kravitz does ASOS Mag

So one of my fashion icons is making another magazine cover appearance. Zoe Kravitz and all her beauty is covering Asos Magazine (if you don't know about Asos clothing and accessories you've been living under a rock).

I love Zoe! For one, do you know who her parents are? Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz= Sexyness in a bottle...shake it up and you get Zoe. She's herself...her own person and she never let her last name define her. She made a name for herself and even has her own band, Elevator Fight. Zoe has created her own identity and set forth her own path: actress, musician, model.

ASOS Mag:

Upcoming Projects:

Zoe Kravitz is starring in this gritty independent film called, Yelling at the Sky, also starring Gabourey Sidibe and Victoria Mahoney.
