Another Part of Me

"Another Side of Me"

What's up world? I hope everyone is doing well and living their life to the fullest. If you haven't already, go check out the newest sketch from the Pick 6 crew, "Blockers Insurance". We've all had that moment when we've been attempting to get quality time and someone kept interrupting. Well we've got the insurance for that now (click here to see the commercial).

I really had a topic I wanted to drop, but I will save that for the next blog. For now, sit back and enjoy a little rhyme I wrote.

No matter how close we are, it feels like you evade me/
Suburban Black kid, you just don’t relate to me/
And that’s how it go, my own hood don’t relate to me/
Feeling out of this world; my crib’s outer space to me/
Maybe that’s why when I get “"Sirius”"/
You look at me funny, like I’m reciting “Delirious”/
Not Eddie with the jokes, but you can come in my America/
But why I gotta be mackin to show I ain’t scared of ya?
When I flirt, it ain’t all jokes, Bay-by/
I ain’t Martin, this ain’t “"You So Crazy”" /
When I’m done call Sheneneh to re-glue your tracks/
Make you scream til Bruh Man hears; so Runteldat!
This Slick Rick has had his eye on you for quite a while/
Intelligent, Fashionista, such a gorgeous smile/
But when you seek a man that match your profile/
They’re so out of place, like cheap kitchen floor tile/
No matter, girl, I’ll be your Home Depot/
Cool as an Ice Cube, you don’t need a Debo/
Won’t run off my skills, you already seen those/
But it’s time to take a risk, like drafting Tim Tebow/
If you don’t know him, excuse the analogy/
But I wanna be the man who you feel proud to be/
Walking hand and hands with/
Sitting in the stands with/
Talking with Jay and B, that’s who we making plans with/
I know it’s a little corny to be expressive/
I f’d up, I sent a good morning message/
But it’s just one side, I’m also aggressive/
I’m a Rick Ross album: Way more than you expected/
Im just reflecting, Im a reflection/
Of how great we go together; it’s almost perfection/
What’s wrong girl? Why won’t you side with me?
It’s probably because you only see one side of me.

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...

Choose Your Artist- Future vs. T-Pain

Voice alteration is by no means a new tool to music, but in recent years we have seen a renaissance in its inclusion. Undoubtedly, the Hip Hop and R&B genre have lead the way in including these tools, primarily through its use of the Auto Tune digital processor. Artists such as Will.I.Am, Chris Brown, and Drake have utilized auto tune to create dozens of hits. In our latest installment of Choose Your Artist, we visit the world of Auto Tune as we pit one of the most successful users of the tool, T-Pain, against the recently crowned champion, rapper Future. Tale of the Tape: Singer T-Pain emerged on the scene in 2004 with unique style and voice that fans had not heard in many years. T-Pain's surge to stardom was spearheaded with his use of the largely underutilized voice adjustment tool Auto-Tune.Originally used to disguise and hide off-key discrepancies, T-Pain used Auto-Tune as a device to assist in his melody. The technique would lead to such hits as "Bart...

What The 'Yeezy: Our Obsession With The "Old" Kanye West

"Hov on that new sh*t n*ggas like how come N*ggas want my old sh*t, buy my old album N*ggas stuck on stupid, I gotta keep it moving N*ggas make the same sh*t, me I make the blueprint" Jay-Z, "On to the Next One" This past Saturday, comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live featured a guest appearance from Kanye West, who debuted two songs from his upcoming album, Yeezus . West perfomed "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves" (posted below), two songs that drive us through the introspective, darker mind of Kanye. The star rapper and producer continues to travel to different worlds with his music; while his production remains stellar, his sound is a far cry from his 2004 release of The College Dropout. With Dropout, Kanye West established himself as one of the premier artists and producers of the industry. His sound was an incredible fusion of joy, family values, rebellion, spirit, and drive; West's lyrics and beats were a stylish struggle sp...
