so... music?

wtf is goin on in music?!

For like 2 weeks straight I took a light hiatus from listening to any music. Y?

Well I was exposed to a lot of info on certain artists intentions in their music and I was deeply disturbed. To say the least, I was wrecked, in that I truly enjoy these artists music. In fact, alot of ppl do; they are forerunners in their genres. The accusations were not new to me, and I had always found a way to rationalize the situation, protecting me from giving up what I enjoyed.

As evidence has surmounted and the same accusations increase with no rebuttal or mention by the accused parties or the surrounding media I have no choice but to accept that there may be little truth in what accusers say.

SO... I have demoted some artists from heavy listening to barely at all and I am now on a journey to find new, fresh, interesting talent that has not yet bought into the system that I see the music industry is and has always been.

BECAREFUL TO WHAT YOU LISTEN TO!!!... neway, lighter note....

Just listened to a few albums that are becoming my favorites....

1. Fab cranked out a classic... liked all tracks but the one wit J.

2. Chrisette Michelle is a sleeping GIANT.

3. Mos Def "Ecstatic" is..... DIFFERENT. I really enjoyed LISTENING to what he had to say. And thats wut you have to do with Mos... listen. Quotes coming soon...

class? wtf is class?!...

Quick shotout to all that are startin school back at my old stomping grounds...lol

Stay focused. See yall in October.

peek into the closet...

I'm simple for the most part...

Basics:

514's Slim straights

Chucks... Low and dirty(grungy rather)

The top could be anything. It juss has to fit. Alot of ppl mess that part up...

Then of course my work/dress attire has its hightlights, but its really nuttin special.

I get my clothes form EVERYWHERE!! I rarely spend big money on ANY item. I own a burberry tie, and that is the ONLY thing that I have ever purchased at retail price (girls will make u do some crazy things... "omg, Onaome, u look soooo good in that tie!"... but thats another story for another day). I am a HUGE thrifter, in that I am in love with finding items that I KNOW no one else would have or duplicate... It helps to makes my style unique.

Dont get me wrong, deep in my heart I want to be a sneakerhead and I appreciate alot of the urban wear that is coming out these days. I love ralph lauren juss as much as the next man, in that I think its TIMELESS, so its almost a given that ANYBODY would have at least one polo item.

"polo, thats a given, I dont even gotta mention..."

-Kid Cudi , TGIF (Thank God Im Fresh)

What i really want to share is where my closet is going. This is what's exciting... Since I'll be working for the rest of my life and money is slowly but surely comin in, I will have less opportunity to wear my chucks and jeans. Rather I will have to find a style within the parameters of what is acceptable in the business world. So, I have a vision that suits me and it is best encompassed by one retailer.

HERE IT IS

I hate being a label whore or juss raping one particular store, but in this case, I find myself completely satisfied...

This was shorter than I expected it to be... oh well. be free.

Malaria gone..?

I was watchin CNN this evening and they had a very interesting story on Malaria, so I took notes..

They have pinpointed the origins of the malaria virus that has plagued most of the African continent. They now have conclusive evidence that that the virus was transfered to humans by chimpanzees. They found an older strain of the virus in chimps and are still unclear as to how the transfer happened, but this along with other evidence supports the claim that a transfer, indeed, was made.

What does this do for us? Well, this is a huge discovery that will definitely help in finding ways to eradicate the virus. No claims have been made of making a vaccine from the malaria strain in the chimps blood, like they did with small pox and the infected cows with a different strain.

Malaria kills more than 1million ppl a year.

Now, I am not an expert on the subject, by any means, but this story reminds me a lot of the claims on how AIDS came about... from monkeys! They said the same thing!!! So, either we need to juss wipe out all the chimps so some new virus doesn't show up, or someone is lying!

Man, i dunno... think freely.

This reminds me of a certain comedian who spoke on this very topic... enjoy and be free.

One day...

Yall may know that I am fan of graphic design... and cudi, no homo.

Here are my favs from his spread in complex.... DOPE!

Also, the artwork for Jay's BP3 came out today! EXTRA DOPE!!! So abstract... got me all excited and wut not...lol

Drake falls... literally.

lil wayne is funny for that tho.

The Amber Rose Effect...

shot out Argenis

Its no new story, but we all know that Kanye's new boo is the stunning Amber Rose. Ex-video girl/model and current arm-candy, Amber Rose is no doubt a stellar specimen in her own right. She has a figure that most men dream of, and a sense of style that is unique and complimentary to Yeezy.

Now, her expressive hair style is what draws me to the blog once again... I must admit, that though odd... it works.... FOR HER.

It has come to my attention that there has been a recent epidemic of followers trying to knowingly, or subconsciously emulate Amber's hairstyle. Not tryna knock any in particular person, but I want women out there to be careful when trying to pull off such a look.

My success rating would be that there is a 10% chance that anyone could pull it off. In plain, if you dont have the millions of dollars (no matter if its yours or ur bf's) or the super star bf.... u may wanna refrain from making such a move. It wouldnt be a crime if Amber was the ONLY woman with that haircut, trust me...

but wut do I know! be free...lol

all I need is my radio...hmmm.

My homegurl Liz brought this up...

WHY DOES THE RADIO BLOW!!! (excuse my verbage.lol)

Remember there was a time when the radio was all we had? I remember the "Roll Call" on 97.9. I remember actually listening to the top 8 at 8. I remember recording songs off the radio with my tape recorder. I REMEMBER those days where the radio was not only prevalent, but almost necessary for a normal social life, so to speak.

Im not blaming the current "suckiness" of the radio on the actual radio biz, cuz I understand that it is juss that, a business. YES, the CRAPOLA that they play over and over again until you have subconsciously memorized all their words, is not necessarily GOOD music (pun intended...hint.) but it is the music that, believe it or not, sells, and sells well.

I am juss happy that we live in a time where ppl dont need the radio to be discovered. The internet has blown the music industry wide open and more artists get exposure. My suggesstion to all music lovers is to turn off your radio and hop on the pc and discover a talent. Doesnt matter wut genre, there's juss a different type of satisfaction when you jam to somebody that no one knows! Key step after you find somebody....

Put someone else on... I always do.

be free.

Kells?...eh :/same ol, same ol...

So Kells is back. Homie done cut his hair!! The song is called "Number One" and I have to say that I dont think it will live up to its title. Of course the song is talking about the "number one" sexual experience, as is typical with Mr. Kelly. Keri Hilson is featured on the song, and being that she is my future wife, she is a VERY good look for the song.

Honestly, I cant let R. Kelly back into my musical world, and its not because of wut u think!! Ppl mess up, so I would never hold that against nobody. Shoot, I cant wait to see Chris breezy jumpin around agin on stage! lol Naw, but with R. Kelly is for different reasons. I hate to say it, but as legendary as he is, these other artists have successfully dubbed his sound and have mastered it. How can I listen to Dream, who is EVERYWHERE, and Neyo, who is a now a MEGA STAR, both of which owe good portions of their careers to the likings of my boi Kells, and then still feel like listening to Kelly when he hasnt brought anything new to the table?!

Im sorry, but I juss dont see myself buying a Kelly cd ever again. DONT get me wrong, of course the man is talented, but he is just no longer prevelant in music today.

Plus, he is too old to still be being goofy on tracks about sex. Listen to the spanish line he says at the end of this track...ridiculous. we here enough of that type of stuff from a Dream ("you shoulda got braids" ha! genius...lol).

Juss a matter of time....

It was juss a matter of time b4 these made it on here. If you are late (like this blog) Kanye West has collaborated with the minds at Louis Vuitton and created a series of footwear. Each shoe is named after friends of Kanye which gives us the Don's, the Mr. Hudson's and the Jasper's. The kicks run from $840 to $1140.

The shoes for the most part are dope. I juss cant drop that kind of cash on sneakers... AND YOU SHOULDNT EITHER!! I would hate for college students across the world to go and blow half if not ALL of their refund on kicks. Look, when I see you, Im not gonna think you ballin, Im juss gonna think u make bad decisions... Ladies if u see an average dude wit some of these on, that man is BROKE or simple!!!...lol

I wanna have a job pullin in 6 to 7 figures b4 I can ever say that I dropped a stack on my kicks..

Oh, If you didnt know about these already, which I doubt, I juss put you on...

-Ono

Update on the Johnta blasphemy...

Ok so Johnta Austin got some angry reviews on youtube about his new song "Making Love with God" so he commented back (see blog vid below or click here to see Johnta comments).

I must say he cleared up the concept of the song considerably. He made some good points that I can understand. READ HIS RESPONSE PPL here. He is "swat2812"

I would say that one of my reservations with the song was that if he had mentioned that the sex was within a marriage, then it MAY have been aite... Well, in his rebuttal he says that he meant juss that. Ok...Cool. You will just have to excuse me for not thinking that was the case, in that "marriage" was NOT mentioned in the song... at least the snippet that he gave us.

This is the thing about artists and their music. Actually, this is why music can be dangerous. An artist may make a song thats purely and truly is about getting kids to do drugs. I mean, no beating around the bush, they are plainly wanting kids to do drugs. The song may even be titled "Kids Need to be Doing these drugs, Mayne!"lol. After they catch heat for the track they turn around in an interview and say thats not what they meant. Usually, they meant it to be some convoluted metaphor for world hunger and the genocide in Sudan lol. If all we here in the song is "baby wanna pipe, Im sellin dope on the playGROUND!" lol then wut else are we going to think?!! At the end of the day, I am playing the SONG over and over again, not your righteous explanation.

Not saying there cannot be depth in music, cuz some of the best songs are metaphorical and utilize complex lyrical techniques to convey a deeper meaning. But when it comes to GOD, I would say its best to be plain, brah!

-Ono

P.S. We all watched the video! You recorded it naked... c'mon man. You were just having fun and you know it! Spare us the justification, cuz I cant take you seriously...

its not like im not grateful...

Today, my father has set up an appointment for me to visit with the dean of a local law school (the one he went to). No biggie, I appreciate the look. My only problem is that I dont want to get into school THIS way... Nothing is promised, but we'll see what happens. I dont think ANYONE should get their hopes up, cuz only the Lord know what events may transpire...mtg is at 2 if you wana get ur pray on...

-Ono

lets talk recession, everybody else is...

Let me fill u in on my current situation. I am done with undergrad and i am aspiring for law school. In the mean time I'm back in d H trying to find an occupation that will 1) support me (and my party habit. jk)financially, and 2) allow me to gain some experience in the legal/political realm. By God's grace it will be back to school next year around this time...THATS THE PLAN.

Now, my job hunt has been interesting to say the least. I have GREAT contacts in high places and I have visited with a number of people that SHOULD be able to find a place for me. I cant tell you how many lame jokes i have told or how many war stories I've heard of how someone has reached there position. All, to no avail. Its not like I'm getting a whole bunch of No's, as if I am not qualified, its juss I keep hearing the same thing... "well ya know, with this recession and all..."

Look, people this recession is very real. All those outside of Healthcare and IT are really suffering. I believe that it cannot be this way forever and will eventually get better, ALOT better (especially with a president that is not afraid to throw money at the problem.lol). Right now, although, its hard for ppl to find good paying jobs, just as it is hard for ppl to hire good workers for their businesses.

Today I attended a job fair in the Galleria in the Westin Hotel. Never really been to one b4, but I wasn't surprised at what I saw. I could not benefit from it as much as others prolly could, juss because of the simple fact that most of the companies represented were in banking and sales... Anyway, the point of the story is that the event was supposed to prove that "Houston is still hiring". Now, i dont know the numbers, but it was said over and over today that Houston has been hit the least by the recession, and that may certainly be the case. Although, I cannot help but wonder if ANYONE form this event after waiting in long lines to meet with a business rep who has seen 100 ppl close if not similar to you, will actually get a call back...

Dont worry, i cooperated... shoot, I'm tryna get paid! lol. But still. i am not expecting anything from it.

Was everybody in that room just in denial? Could those companies REALLY provide a job for everyone? or was it juss another opportunity to show that their business cares... I dunno.

SO... i did some research. Come to find out, that forbes named Houston the number 1 "recession-proof" city followed by San antonio and Dallas, respectively... WELL, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! lol

good night yall... I think.

-Ono

chea!

Fam peeped this and said she thought it was me , like I would wear it...

Umm... God may not like this...

Sooooo, there is a popular series on youtube following the lives of the supergroup Ocean 7( Brian Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Johnta Austin,...wutev). Its called "Living the Life". Goes without saying, but these guys are DUMB talented and usually crank out good music. Their episodes are quite entertaining... ANYWAY,

My man Johnta, an up and coming producer/songwiter/singer recently finished a song entitled "Making Love with God".... Boom. lol

Please watch the vid...

I was a lil disturbed...eh, very disturbed at the whole idea. I cannot be the greatest christian, and in no way am I passin judgement, but my homie, my potna, my nucca, my brother in Christ, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!! lol

Not a good look in my eyes folks, not a good look at all...
