Lil Wayne Get's a New Job In Jail

Leave it to Lil Wayne to actually enjoy prison life. I wonder what kind of music he'll make after the experience...

He managed to keep his dreads, blog to his fans & act as a counselor to his prison peers. When you have enough money....

article courtesy of Rolling Stone (aka, where Lady Trace-Y is going to be working next)

Lil Wayne makes his living as the bestselling rapper on the planet, but while serving his year-long jail sentence at New York’s Rikers Island, Weezy has entirely new job: keeping watch over suicidal inmates. Antonia “Toya” Johnson, the mother of one of Wayne’s children, tells Us Weekly, “Wayne has a job. They got him on suicide watch for other prisoners. He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don’t kill themselves.” Finding himself in a 9-to-5, albeit in prison, Weezy shares a similar complaint with much of the working population. “He likes the job even though they don’t pay him much,” Toya says of the Young Money multimillionaire.

Toya adds that Lil Wayne is adjusting well to prison life, and getting along with his fellow inmates. He’s even managed to avoid getting a haircut. As Rolling Stone previously reported, in addition to suicide prevention tasks, the rapper is also a fledgling jailhouse blogger, writing responses to fan mail on his Weezy Thanx You blog from Rikers, where Lil Wayne is serving a year behind bars — or less with good behavior — after pleading guilty to weapons charges stemming from a 2007 arrest in New York City.

Hot Mess Of My Adolescence: The Other Cheetah Chick

So her name is Kiely and her claim to fame is being a member of the Cheetah Girls. She wasn't Raven...or the white one...or the hispanic one...she was the black one that wasn't Raven. Sorry, but that's the only way I can remember her. Well evidently she got tired of being Disney's slave and decided to branch out as a solo artist. Ehhhhhhhhhh it's 2010 so I GUESS I'll go along with this foolishness. I should warn you all right now that this video is...nope. On second thought ya'll will not get disclaimer from me. No one warned me of the level of desperateness I would be exposed to. Only thing I will say is watch this in an area where you can get a GOOD laugh.

Instant Gratification Album Review: [we did outsourcing]

Yo! KiDBLaCK. I got the album review for my band[DownBeat Keys]'s new album INSTANT GRATIFICATION. Now it would be wrong for me to sit here and review it, so i outsourced and found a review on another blog [The Record Crate] and here's what they had to say:

"As I posted about last week, the boys from Hamilton, the DownBeat Keys, have released their new album “Instant Gratification.” For those of you both initiated and otherwise, you’ll be surprised. Check it after the jump.

I was lucky enough to have the tracks sent early to me via bass player Andrew Root. You may remember this character from myfirst DBK post as the dude in the kilt. For those of you unfamiliar with Root, get familiar with the track “The Stick Up” and pay close attention to the bass solo. Now that we’re all familiar with each other, let’s move on.

I generally try to keep my posts PG. Being that I’m a teacher and everything, lately it’s been coming natural to me. However I can’t hold back, so I’m just going to say it. Holy Santa Claus shit. For an unsigned band with up until this point a mainly local support base, the production values on Instant Gratification transcend that of their signed (and for the most part significantly less talented) counterparts. I use the term “counterparts” loosely, as that conveys that there are other bands out there who share DBK’s sound. In reality, there isn’t a band out there remotely close. I’m simply referring to bands who for some godforsaken reason have gotten a record deal and a following. With all the talk of the seriousness of white collar crime in America, the true crime these days is shit bands blowing up. Consider DBK the newly appointed “Shit Band Task Force.” Their weapon? Instant Gratification.

From start to finish, the boys bat the cycle on this album. From the jump-off “Another Hit” to the jazz tinged “I Don’t Mind,” there seemingly isn’t a genre that’s untouched. Even while rounding the bases, they boys stay true to their central sound. I think that’s something that sets this band apart form a lot of other acts out there. Regardless of style, tempo or otherwise, each song delivers an infectious punch that makes it impossible to not move to.

Some of you may be thinking “Yeah they’re alright, but I bet you they can’t make a horn section work with their tunes.” To that, I would tell you to put on “Unstable.” For real, listening to this album is like that scene in Grandma’s boy where Alex raids his Grandma’s fridge and finds all that tasty food. “Unstable” is “the wings to go with the breast!” In essence, this album solidifies the fact that this band can do just about everything."

Awesome! To check out the album hit up www.DownBeatKeys.Com. The album will be available on itunes in 2 weeks...

THEN vs NOW: Mary J Blige

So here's a new segment for yall, then vs. now. There are so many artists currently in the game who've been here for quite a while. You kinda have to wonder if who the artist USED to be would even listen to the music the artist is making NOW. First stop - Mary J Blige.
vs.




Who doesn't remember this song? Who doesn't remember that one Sister Sister episode where this song won the talent show? [it won right?] I feel like everyone's related to this song at least one point in their life...

"The sound of the rain against my window pane is slowly driving me insane"

and then we have this...




"i ain't sayin I'm the best... but i'm the best"

i guess we've gone from an age of songs with true emotion to songs that are just self indulgent and aggrandizing. keep it up mary!

I do have to admit, the strangeness of her videos have been consistent...

come back tomorrow for the next installment
