T.I. Wont Be Charged in latest Drug Arrest!!!

I'm working on some new music for an artist and I decided to take a break and check out today's latest entertainment gossip/stories. So I hopped on twitter and come across a post that read "T.I. Wont Be Charged in L.A. Drug Arrest!!!". Instantly I'm like wtf? How? So I jump on the link and did some more research and found that TMZ reports that the L.A. County District Attorney has rejected the drug case pending from his arrest last month due to legal problems with the case.

It turns out that the D.A's Office chose not to go forward with charges because he has already been sentenced to prison because the arrest was a violation of his federal probation. the Police stated that there was significant legal issues over probable cause which led them to arrest the rapper. Cops claimed they had smelled marijuana but did not book any into evidence, and said that he was pulled over after making an illegal U-turn prior to any registration check! Sadly he is still expected to serve out his 1 year sentence due to the arrest being a violation of his parole.

I personally believe they had it out for him because if Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan can do what they do and get a slap on the wrist...that just goes to show you how full of S*** things can be! I hope they reconsider the sentence and either dismiss it, or shorten the sentence by ALOT! I know there are some who may feel different........So let me know what you think! Should they let him go? Lock him up and throw away the key? What do you think!

Kanye West's - Runaway (Short Film)

Kanye West has a short film out titled "Runaway". It is a really nice short film and I have to say he gives the viewers/fans a nice inside look into the artistic mind of the music genius himself. The film is a musical, and its fairly interesting. I was left with the question, whats it about? I thought at first it could of been about him and his personal life clashing with his music life. Or perhaps his old self (before he made it) clashing with his new self (him up until the Taylor Swift incident) which I could see making total sense. And then I realized, he was probably talking about both! The video was really creative, and original in my opinion. I also get the feeling this is a look into his new album which if so, sounds like a beautiful album! I hope this film will be included in the special edition version of his album. If this is the result of him f****** up at the VMA's last year with Taylor Swift, then I'm glad to see the turn around! I think its done wonders for him, and I think its because he finally saw the person he had become from the person he once was...

This is the Beautiful bird in the film the "Phoenix"

Now for those who think this film is so strange its stupid...I totally could see how you could think so. Its really out there, and I'm sure that some of his fans who are fans of the graduation album and the ones that came before 808's and Heart Break will have issues with this short film...this might be a stretch too far for some fans...I personally love the film and all of his music. I feel like this is art at its best, when it becomes hard to grasp and leaves one thinking, "what the f***?". I think that this is Kanye at his best. All of his albums sound different, and are all different reflections of him at different times of his life and career! If you listened to 808, the stuff he did at the VMA's wasn't much of a surprise...that album in my opinion was him at a dark point in his life, just like graduation was him happy and accepting his fame and glory and all he had achieved so far in his music career. This video seems to show that Kanye is at a point in his life were he knows now that he let so much get to him, and change him...I consider this the realization period  or, the turn around period.

Well that's pretty much my thoughts on this film, and Mr. West. I loved the film, and I hope to hear and see more wonderful things from him.

What are your thoughts on the short film? Was it a little out there? Was it stupid? Was it awesome? Tell me what you think =]

Green Meat!!!

So...I'm sitting in a study hall at the University of Houston with my new subway sandwich (subway club) and I was craving it like CRAZY! I had to walk in the heat to the law school area to get my sub. So I finally get there and they tell my friend and I with whom I was having lunch with as soon as we walked through the door, that they didn't have anymore lettuce! So after careful consideration, my friend and I decided to go ahead and get our subways clubs any way. We figured with three types of meats on the sandwich and all the extra stuff we put on it that having no lettuce wouldn't be as bad as we had previously thought. So after waiting in line and paying for our meals, we get back to the study building and get all  set up to sit and enjoy our meals when something told me to check my sub. We had noticed in line that the meat kind of looked weird, but we thought maybe we were just tripping...until we opened our sandwich's and saw the horror!!!! Don't see it yet? Here, maybe in this one...

So now you should be able to see some greenish, orange fish scale looking stuff on my roast beef! So after looking at this strange meat, we packed up camp, and walked ALL the way back to the subway in the law building. We get there and they tell us that its totally natural and normal for roast beef to look like that...I asked her then why is this my first time ever seeing this? And she said "Because it shows up on some roast beef, and not others"...So after she realized we were not going to take her word for it, she then offered us new sandwiches (Spicy Italian) and said she understands why we felt the way we did. I then persuaded her to give me a free cookie, and chips...and she let me and my friend have chips, drinks, and a cookie on the house. I still don't know if its normal for roast beef to look like this...but I do know one thing, until I do, I don't plan on eating any greenish orange roast beef!

Willow Smith Kills Bieber!!!!

Ok, well I would like to first start off by saying that I'm no Bieber hater by far, I think he's a talented young artist who in time I hope to see mature into something nice. On the other hand, Willow Smith is killing it with her hot new single, "Whip my hair". She has been getting CRAZY attention from the media, as well as fans and for some odd reason, TONS of haters. At the age of nine, Willow has started her music carrier to what seems to be a great start. Her new single hit me instantly, and the video had me from the start! Being that I am a music producer, looking at it from a producers stand point, I would have to say that the producers, song writers, and A&R's involved did a BEAUTIFUL job creating this song and displaying her talent! The beat gives you that griddy dance feel from the start, and the chorus....ahhhh, the chorus, if you weren't sold on the beat from the start, then the chorus doomed you! But really, the song is a really hype song, and it really shows exactly what she's capable of.

Now for the "haters" part. I don't understand how so many people can hate on this little girl for doing what she loves to do! I have read blog posts, and watched many video blogs about how her song sucks, she's not talented at all because she's using auto tune (which she's not), her parents are bad for forcing her to do things in the entertainment world, thus robbing her of her "childhood". I understand that some wont like her for their own reasons, and that everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what ever it may be, but really? The kind of language used when talking about her is somewhat disturbing to say the least! And trust me, I'm no angle when it comes to shit talking, seriously! But enough of that..."haters" will be "haters", and life will go on...

For those who haven seen the video yet, or heard the song, you can check it on Vevo, or YouTube, I HIGHLY recommend it! I'll post the link here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymKLymvwD2U
Check it out, and if you like what you hear, show her some support! I hear that her song is set to debut on itunes October 26th, I plan on downloading it the day it comes out. I can already picture the awkward gazes I plan to get when I pull up to a red light in my dodge pick up bumpin her song while lipping "I whip my hair back and forth" lol
