This is a joint I remember popping up in my Lastfm stream. I was feeling the hook mostly. “Couldn’t hear me over the music/ didn’t really know my song” That’s what’s up!
TweetFacebook is creeping me out. I visited HuffingtonPost yesterday and noticed a section on the right-hand side of my screen titled “Your friends activity”. I’m sure many others have come across this feature and pretty much paid it no mind. I’m sure I’ve come across it before and paid it no mind. For some reason, this time it stuck out to me. It got me thinking, do I really want my “friends” from Facebook following me around online? I can only assume the feature is supposed to be some kind of referral system like “look what your friends are reading maybe you’d like to read it too” but isn’t that the point of Facebook’s “share” & “Like” buttons? Things that I actually want to pass on to my friends I’ll “share” or “like”

The hate and the quake**
By Sir Hilary Beckles
The University of the West Indies is in the process of conceiving how best to deliver a
major conference on the theme Rethinking And Rebuilding Haiti. I am very keen to
provide an input into this exercise because for too long there has been a popular
perception that somehow the Haitian nation-building project, launched on January 1,
1804, has failed on account of mismanagement, ineptitude, corruption. Buried beneath
the rubble of imperial propaganda, out of both Western Europe and the United States,
is the evidence which shows that Haiti’s independence was defeated by an aggressive
North-Atlantic alliance that could not imagine their world inhabited by a free regime of
Africans as representatives of the newly emerging democracy.

Friday Sept. 17th Recoup Lounge I had a show, great! Sound check started at 7pm, show started at 8pm. My girl had class from 3pm to 7pm, not so great. She goes to school in NYC but we live in Long Island. The ride from school to the crib takes about two to three hours, depending on how the trains run. I accepted the show and completely forgot about how she had school. Of course there was the both hands to the cheeks, wide eyed, “what are we gonna do?” moment. I have a great girl that’s really supportive of what I do so she wasn’t going to allow me to cancel even if I wanted to. The question wasn’t whether to do it but how, hmmmmmm…We thought up a plan. I and my DJ hadn’t rehearsed so I could leave early with her, get help with the kids on the train, and go to my DJ’s crib with the kids. I could rehearse and hang out there until it was time to drop them off for her to take home while we were on our way to the show. It sounded good.
TweetI had a friend hit me up with this break down of the symbolism behind the music video to the new Kanye West single “Power” shit is interesting, check it:
The symbols of POWER: The music video by Kanye West.
Many of the symbols tell a tale of men of power but mostly these symbols tell a lot about Kanye.
The Trappings of POWER.

I was in the house playing the vocal tracks of the hook off of a record I have called “Open Up”. I was playing it when I noticed my daughter singing it. I think baby got some talent what y’all think?

TweetAccording to a new report by CurrentTV, Cameroonian mothers believe breast ironing will protect their daughters from becoming pregnant and being assaulted in that it will postpone their development and men will not be enticed by their breasts. With dietary habits in the country improving, girls are beginning to hit puberty as young as 9, and are subject to the practice around at the same age.
