Exile

Since I moved out of the flat in Artarmon a month ago to move in with Chez and Johnny, we haven't been able to find anywhere to live. We've applied for plenty and keep getting rejected.

I've been reading Numbers (the book of the Bible, I'm not much into maths) this month, all about the Israelites wandering around the desert, complaining, and slowing dying off. It's been feeling relevant. I feel like I'm living what I'm reading. While I'm not wandering anywhere and I haven't been dramatically rescued from slavery (my old housemates were quite nice really), I am hanging out for the promised land (house). I'm trying not to complain about my circumstances in case God says that I have to live with my parents till I die, and only my grown up kids will be allowed to move out. I have complained a little, mainly just about the stupid real estate agent's forms you have to fill out for every house. It's probably ok to complain about them though, because the Israelites didn't have to apply to move into the promised land. They just had to kill it's current inhabitants which, sometimes, seems like it could be a simpiler solution.

We do have a hopeful viewing on Thursday. So we could have somewhere to live after Thursday. Or it could just be one more bit of wandering.

I'm looking forward to food falling from the sky.

The Floacist and Raheem DeVaughn "Keep It Goin"

I think that Natalie 'The Floacist' Stewart's Floetic Soul album was slept on by a lot of people. This album had so much passion and a sensual vibe that we barely hear in Neo-soul today. Well main stream anyway. Well go figure this type of music is always slept on and barely gets respect. I LOVE "Floetic Soul!" The album was a real good album and it brought me back to Floetry days for sure. I still miss the duo, maybe one day a re-union would be put together. That would be a smash sold out show for sure.

This new video featuring Raheem DeVaughn surfaced yesterday on a special day, my birthday. Glad to see another DMV res doing his thing. They fit together on this track called "Keep it Going." Her passion is the best, but it would have been nice to see them together in the video. She's looking good as well I must say, she does not look as skinny as she did before.

Watch Video and see if Patti Labelle deserves this lawsuit or not?

Patti Labelle has been slapped with a lawsuit by a West Point (NY) cadet, who claimed he was beaten up by her security guards in an incident partially captured on videotape at the Houston International Airport.

According to his attorney, Richard King, 23, was allegedly on the phone with his brother waiting to be picked at Bush International Airport in the March 11 incident when he was viciously attacked by LaBelle’s bodyguards, while he unknowingly stood next to the star’s luggage and limo.

LaBelle’s bodyguards reportedly told police the “intoxicated” cadet attempted to get into the star’s limo, and that he incited the attack by throwing the first punch. King denies he even knew who LaBelle was prior to the incident.

Raley said he wants criminal charges brought against the attackers, and his civil lawsuit is attempting to hold the singer responsible as well.

“LaBelle is responsible not only for the actions of herself, but the actions of her security forces under the doctrine of respondent superior,” the suit alleges.

The suit, filed in Houston civil court, also states the R&B diva “lowered the window of her limousine and gave a command to her bodyguards,” prompting them to spring into action.

If a judge finds the claim to be accurate, LaBelle could face serious trouble.

Yes the man was madd close to her stuff, but you can not really see if he was going into her things. The camera also does not show that he was trying to get into limo or nor did he throw the first punch. The camera slearly shows that the bodyguard pushed him, then he threw a punch. I mean after watching this video you can make your own judgment, but the way they handled this man was so unnecessary. This guy was so fragile and small they did not need to beat him up. Make it worse the cops come on the scene and before they get what they need to get done. These mofo's taking pictures and shit. LOL at this one right here. Now Patti caught up in a Lawsuit. SMDH!!!

Drake expresses how he really feels for her in "Marvins Room"

Drakes latest leak "Marvins Room," is FIRE. I just Love when he sings, it just does something to me. Letting the chick know that he wants her and F**k that nigga she love so bad, because she can do better. Man this is a typical song of a dude who had a chick that moved on with a new man, that he wishes he can have right now. This that dude a chick misses and wishes she can be with, but because of love she tries her best to be faithful. ESPECIALLY when it comes to this one special person. Basically this a chick he still secretly have feelings for but fucked up and misses her. I LOVEEEE IT, because EVERYONE has been in this situation as least once. Drake kudos to you!!

The track will be featured on his forthcoming album 'Take Care,' schedule for this fall.

Ginuwine goes Reality! Watch Trailer

First off I must say hands down to my D.C. vet Ginuwine for being an awesome artist/dance, a "faithful" husband and a great daddy. It's rare you see couples stay together for so long, especially in this business. But when you do you just have to give your up most respect to those who stay together so long. Sole is a great women for putting her career on hold mode, just to raise their kids and stand by her man Ginuwine. Now we get to see exactly how and what this family does to stay strong in this crazy ass entertainment world. "Ginuwine reality show called "A New Beginning," will document his everyday life as an entertainer, his marriage with former rapper Sole, and parenting his four daughters. Oh he also mentions the death of both parents, his 4 outside children and no changing for this game. From what I remember at age 14 when I got to meet Ginuwine and Big Tigger, it bring tears of Joy to see a DMV vet do it so long and continue to stay real.

Check out the trailer for "A New Beginning"

Mary J. Blige - Miss Me With That

It's been a while since I wrote a post for my world, so its only right to start off with my girl Mary J. Blige. The queen of hip-hop soul gives us a new track called "Miss Me With That." Just like her last single "Someone to Love me" this one definitely has to grow on me. Don't get me wrong I like the track, but to me there is something missing. Maybe if I was going through something with my man I would feel different. We all know she sings from personal experiences and with her down fall marriage this song fits her situation best. I don't know about ya'll but I new that man was full of shit. They did not match and it seemed like Mary was turned from being a cool as chick to a cold ass chick being with him. So now that it is over, I hope she comes back down to earth. Other then that I have high hopes with this album! Sad to say it, but when she goes threw things she puts her extra soul into her music. My Life II drops this fall and I pray she digs deep and looks past the hurt of a bad man and give us something new. She's a little old now wanting a man to love her. After tracks like "The One" and "I am" she has grown to show her independence and that she don't need no man. So let's pray the rest of her album goes that direction! Make you judgement yourself.
