Shortly after I launched this blog in 2014, I realized that maintaining a website like this requires far too much time and attention. Instead, I have decided to keep my presence on the web and love for hip hop alive, but instead transition back to the personal blog world.</div>

He's had a few different specials with Vice TV, but F*ck, That's Delicious is my favorite!<br />

<h4>
Remember to never lose sight of what makes you happy. Never forget what brought you joy throughout the years. The second you allow your happiness to be reliant on someone else is the second you are playing yourself! You are giving someone else a power that only YOU are supposed to be in control of. It's OK to feel remorseful if you have done something wrong, and in all honestly you should. But to let that disappointment beat you down into a person you can't even recognize is going too far. You cannot let yourself become that weak; it's just not worth it. Look at your situation from a 3rd person perspective and tell yourself exactly what you think you should do as an outsider looking in. At that point, follow your own advice, I can gaurantee you will be right.</h4>
</blockquote>

<strong>To music: to my first love, hip hop...I've lost track of how happy you make me! I'm rediscovering the beauty of your art and have lots of catching up to do!</strong><br />

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "Thanksgiving"? I won't front, the first thing I think about is food and lots of it, but nonetheless, Thanksgiving to me is synonomyous with loved ones. Although I do not entirely support the origin of this Holiday, I do enjoy the togetherness and gratefulness it brings. <br />
<br />
Thanksgiving is a funny holiday. It's a holiday that basically forces people to realize how blessed they are. If it were up to me, Thanksgiving wouldn't be a holiday. Thankfulness however, would definitely be a requirement to uphold in every household, school, place of business. etc. if I had my way! Things like giving out turkeys, clothes and other necessities to the homeless are all wonderful things, but gifts that should not only be considered around the month of November. (here I go tryna preach again)<br />
<br />
Anyways, despite all my condradictions, I hope all my blog readers have a wonderful, blessed, and very thankful Thanksgiving! Count those blessings! :)<br />

My 9-5 presented a huge road block for a while, but now my lane is clear and I'm full throttle! (Corny, ha!)<br />
<br />
Initially, the dream for this blog was that of something similar to RapRadar or HNHH, but I've come to realize that the time and effort it takes to maintain a website of that caliber is more than I can provide. And to be completely honest, I don't like the pressure that it brings! So, as of today, this blog is more of a personal diary of music, videos, stories, etc. that interest me and seem worthy to document. You can still look to my website as a source of new and great content, but now that content is completely catered to my interests only. It's all me!<br />
<br />
Song on constant replay at the moment: Nas - NY State of Mind (after seeing him in concert last Wednesday - amazing experience)<br />

In 12 minutes, Complex breaks down the Mase classic, "Feel So Good" and the background of his success with interviews by Puff, Jadakiss and more.<br />
<br />
Check out the short documentary below:<br />

Do you think Mase has a real chance at a big comeback in the industry? We can't deny his success in the 90s into the 2000's, but we definitely live in a different day and age with a mentality that if you ain't got a hot track currently, you ain't sh*t!Charlenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16079459034050495053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353299259155332681.post-61993882492565648952014-07-16T14:13:00.001-07:002014-07-16T14:13:04.077-07:00STILL HERE!Hold tight...the blog is NOT DEAD and will be active SOON!

Angie Martinez has been the icon and prized jewel of Hot 97 for over 15 years. As of yesterday, Ms. Martinez has announced her departure from the radio station and introduced her new venture at Power 105 as an afternoon host.</div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
It is a shock to most, but a happy one because even though she is leaving her longtime home, she is still going to be the "Voice of New York City".</div>

<br /></div>
Congrats to Angie and definitely congrats to Power 105! Having The Breakfast Club in the AM and Angie in the PM is gonna be monstrous!<br />
