Sorry Bout Tis But

Just a few anti-SB comments from various differnt sources.

Souljah boy does not deserve a record deal first of all. He needs to take off his tall tees and fake ass bling....He has singlehandedly ruined the lives of white teenage boys who think they can dance with his stupid "crank that" song... hes has given hope to "wiggers" that have to hope, god bless their soul and fuck you Souljah fag. Honestly what the fuck is supermanning a hoe. And what the fuck is this instructional video. That aint hiphop. -- A Facebook Group called 'Soulja Boy Has Ruined America"


Soulja Boy is a talentless, worthless piece of shit. His songs annoy the fuck out of me and everyone that has any standards for the kind of music they listen to. His new CD is a fucking insult to the music industry and deserves to be banned from all stores (including online music stores). Everytime I hear "Crank That," a part of me dies.Soulja Boy's new song "Yahhh" is the most annoying piece of shit song in the world. For anyone that hasn't heard it, trust me, you don't want to. It ruined my day yesterday when I heard it on the radio. --A Group Called 'Fuck Soulja Boy'

I mean come on, this guy is the worst. Crank That was one thing but Yahhh Bitch Yahhh kilt it dead for good. Fake ass shit. And these new crank that videos made the situation even worse. crank that spiderman, superman, homeless man, jump rope, lion king...they all SUCK! Biggie, Bone Thugs, 2pac??? why aren't there more great rappers like these? Rap has seriously gone downhill since like the 90's and now Soulja Boy has killed it forever. Fuck Soulja Boy --From a Group called 'Soulja Boy Officially Killed Rap'

This group is for the people who realize that Soulja Boy Tell 'em has no talent whatsoever. All his beats are made from a free beat making program called "Fruity Loops" and the sound quality of all his songs sound like a computer mic, which it is.Soulja Boy has released many creatively named songs, including:"Crank Dat", "Yah Bitch Yah", "Soulja Girl" (very original!), and not to forget, "She Thirsty" and "Doo doo head"!Soulja Boy is completely ruining the face of all rap and music all together. He does not even use real instruments when recording his songs. Look at him, he uses white out to put his write his name on his sunglasses, how can a guy like him become famous?WHY DO PEOPLE LISTEN TO THIS CRAP? -- From a group Called ' Soulja Boy Sucks'

Soulja Boy is the worst thing to ever happen to music Terrible lyricsStupid songsAll around crapHe is giving a bad name to hip hop and rap, its very sad that this fucking joke is on TV when there are so many better Hip hop and rap artist. If you don’t know who Soulja Boy is check out these links and you will see how sad this little man is.Stupid song number one- Crank that http://youtube.com/watch?v=LpocrqvP2Yg&feature=relatedLyrics - http://www.lyricsmania.com/lyrics/soulja_boy_lyrics_10418/souljaboytellemcom_lyrics_69893/crank_that_soulja_boy_lyrics_677350.htmlStupid song number 2 - Tell emhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=WVsVaznmbiE"

mindless music that discards rap's traditional emphasis on message"-- "From Soulja Boy Is The Worst Thing To Ever Happen To Music'

I know some ya'll thinking here goes Eddie with another dumb ass group but this needs the current attention of the nation:It was already bad enough that simple-versed rappers like Young Jeezy were the most popular in the game at one point. It is a shame that even Jay-Z doesn't make hits as prolific as those on the Blueprint. Nas has already made the proclamation and now I believe it to be true. Hip Hop is Dead. I say this because SOULJA BOY has been nominated for a GRAMMY. Not a BET Ringtone of the Year. A FUCKING GRAMMY! I know Soulja boy is popular but what does that say about the quality of music across the nation? DAMN! --From 'Why Was SB Nominated For a Fkkin Grammy???'

Come on, I mean these are just the first coulpe of FB group pages. Non-hiphop listeners have a problem with SB.

They Say Imma Hater

So after I shared my little rant on SB, I was told that I was a hater. Now this isn't anything new to me because they told me that on HV but personally, I don't think that I have the neccessary traits to be named a hater. Urban dictionary.com defines hating as:
1)A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person. Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch,
2)Overused word that people like to use just because someone else expresses a dislike for a certain individual, and
3)A person who feels anger and/or jealousy for someone who has succeeded in something they have worked hard for.
Quite frankly, I agree with the second definition because that what peope have been doing. "Oh you don't like SB's music? You are a hater." What the fkk kindda bullshxt is that? I gues that would mean that I'm hating on Tony Yayo and Cam'Ron and such people. The first is certified hateration, which is not what I am doing. I also agree with definition 3. I would accept being a hater if SB had talent, or tried to have talent. Getting money from YouTube hits is not working hard. Cranking is not working hard. Making videos with two niggies behind your shoulder is not working hard. Going at the heads that are Hip Hop is not working hard (unless he was working hard at tryna get killed). Again, expressing my valid, almost factual opinion, is not hating.
So here is a convo...
FB status Update:Olivia is venting on her blog about SB...stupid niggy, rap is for real artists. 2:27am - 11 Comments

Naomi Geezup at 2:34am December 31
lol niggy but word i agree fully

V-Lo at 2:35am December 31
Oh yeah!!!

Steven A at 4:15am December 31 via Facebook Mobile
hating again i see....smh

V-Lo at 12:03pm December 31
I am not a hater Steven A ...hmph

Steven A at 12:21pm December 31 via Facebook Mobile
"you aint a hater.....can't tell."

V-Lo at 12:34pm December 31
Oh please. Then everyone that cant stand SB is a hater...watevz..would u like to read it?

Steven A at 12:47pm December 31 via Facebook Mobile
yea sure. Write a note on facebook im mobile. And your reason for not liking him stated on hoodvisions is hating.
V-Lo at 12:57pm December 31
Gilley, I'm not hating. Im sure there are ppl in this world you dont like. Are you hating on them? Just expressing my opinion, sir.=)(Then I copy and pasted this mornings blog entry)


Steven A at 1:30pm December 31 via Facebook Mobile
see when you get mad at someone's success then to me its automatically hating. Im not particulary a fan of Soulja Boy but I admire his hustle and prob sing to some of his songs but if i dislike someone i dont speak on their success but OnLy the fact that i dont like their style songs music etc but dont get mad cause other ppl like it and he is making money

V-Lo at 1:34pm December 31
Im not mad at his success per se....And I did talk about his 'musical talent'....I'mz not a hater. Money is nothing without respect. I really wouldn't care if he was the richest man in the world, I have no respect for him because of his personality and his 'music'. Point Blank

Steven A at 1:38pm December 31 via Facebook Mobile
oh ok.
There is no way anybody who know real hip hop can legitimately hate on Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. No way in Heaven, Hell or on this Earth. i really don't believe someone would call me a hater for saying I can't stand SB. I wouldn't be upset if they said I hated on Nas or Jigga or Biggie..Damn

YouTube In Da Morning

I love this dude!!!



This is funnier that 'Throw Some Cheese On It'


The Dark Night







I really have no life. Its Ok though. lmao. The Jokers names is STEVE!!!!

Tony Soprano meets The Joker




Highly Pissed at a 'Little Child'

Facebook Status Update: Brandi Shoobahallerkhan can't sleep because Soulja Boy said Nas killed Hip Hop.

WTF kinda muthableeping shxt is this? I know Im kinda late. (actually Im not, i just haven't bothered to look at the video until now). But who gave SB the audacity to go at hip hop trailblazers and tell them that THEY killed hip hop? THis nigga is out of place. HOW THE FKK CAN YOU SAY THAT NAS KILLED HIP HOP? NAS IS HIP HOP.....This niggy need to stop making music...Real talk....Some one should beat this niggy. Seriously.




This niggy spoke truth on him....damnit, I should make a fkkin video too.



I really cant believe this 18 year old CHILD has the nerve to go at nigga's thats old enough to be his father. Damn niggy, didn't your mother tell you to respect your elders? To respect the people that made it possible for you to even get a fkkin record deal posing as a rap artist? Damnit, if I was an upcoming artist and Ice-T or NaS said that I was garbage, I'd be frikkin honoured that they even listened to my music...And this stupid child is gonna go after them? You gotsta be outta your mind to pull shit like that. Mad for real.

I get so heated when I hear this muthableeping retarded sorry ass excuse for a paper chaser, "Im a smart dude but Im stupid'' ass niggy speak or hear his name brought up. Why is he considered an artist? Why is he considered hip hop? Damnit, I thought Cam'Ron and Tony Yayo and ppl like that were garbage. SB just put a deeper bag in the trashcan. I really cant believe this niggy. And can someone explain to me why he feels that it is pertinent to place Arab and that other niggy behind him in every video? It does not make him look hard...At all. If its sposed to intimidate, it does no such thing. I does succeed at making him look like an ignorant, rude, '2 niggies behind me make me look gangster' looking ass niggy tho. Damn internet gangster. Who the fkk cares how many hits you get on Youtube? NOBODY. YouTube money is nothing little niggy. You are nothing. You will never be in anyones GOAT list or in anyones favourite rapper list. Your name will live in abundance on "People I've wasted my money on", "Whackest Rappers", "Stupid Children", "Who should stop making records" and other such lists. You are garbage. Damnit, frikkin Teletubbies and their batty-bwoi selves can rap better than you. ( I feel that Im writing this like he's gonna read it. Damnit, I wish he would)

Stupid niggy, respect in rap is for real artists. No one will EVER resect your 'Crank that Everything in the world" ass self. NEVER. Your music will not be played 20 years from now unless someone was comparing real rap to dog shit mixed with monkey piss. THat is right. your 'music' is likened onto animal excretions. And there are millions of people that agree with me. SB should stop recording sounds. Fi tru. He is wasting electricity. Wanna go green? Tell this niggy to stop recording. Save gas, create less pollution, and spare hip hop by staying in your muthableeping house. Do us all a favour. Please. People will be willing to pay you top stay home and stop recording. Damn niggy...Damn...I have no more word...For now....SMMBH

Dueces...Funny YouTube vids in the early PM...

Insomnia Is A Female Dog

I cant sleep..This is not ok...I watch Beta House at like 2 and I've been Facebooking ever since. That picnik thing on FB is really fun. Its like a Photoshop kinda thing (I dont know why I'm saying that and I've never used Photoshop in my life) and its really the only application i really use on FB, besides the SocialmothSecrets and....thats about it really.

I've even dedicated an album to picniking...Its so time conssuming!!!!

So, I looked up my grades today and found something that I've never seen in my high school career. A 3.5 GPA. Quite frankly, I feel that the teachers have made some type of mistake. I DON'T DO WORK...most of the time....But still...I got a frikkin A in Psych and I'm missing more hw in that class than any other class.....And I got a B in Math 12....I don't do that mans work. I though I failed his final...Shxt...At least that means that I'm going to college. Oh yea!!!!

I miss my Polta..I can't wait till Monday night when I see my bestie...I miss Wyatt...He'll be so happy. I bought him 2 lighters from a souviner shop in Manhattan and a box of Blacks. For some reason, everytime I give this boy something out of the kindness of my heart he insists that he pay be back. I keep telling him that he's like my little brother and he doesnt have to but he insists...I love that boy tho. Oh..and I miss Andrew...He's so funny and sweet..And we bothhave something in common: we cant stand his sister...Oh how she annoys me and most of the people around her.

On a happier note, I go back on Monday so I'll see my beloveds!! YaY....

Ok...New Years plans....I wanted to chill with the bestie Jibreel. Hopefully I do cuz I havent seen him in a while. I wanna go see that Grand Torino movie..It looks good...

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS: Eat Right. Be Healthy. Start Training For Track. Be Nice (Ha!!! Funny). 3.5 GPA. Get Into Temple . Continue In The Renewed Swaggerless Swaggerosityal Ways Of Dec '08. LIsten To Alex.

Well, i need to give my undivided attention to my friend to whom I am sending IM's to so I shall duece it...GOOD MORNING!!!!

Just A Bit Of Style Change

I woke up at 12:30 Christmas afternoon. Great.

I'm sitting here IMing three people and eyeing the book that I should be reading right now because it is so good. Its called Directed Verdict by Randy Singer. Amazing courtroom thriller. Its reading books like these that make me want to become a lawyer. I'm prolly heading down that path anyway...

I've been speaking to my grandfather, a retired army man, about my career choices and such. He wanted me to become a nurse. I said 'Nah, B.' Not really. I said I didn't want to go into nursing. Then he went into this thing about how the army will pay for my schooling and all that. I still wasn't having it. Why do I look like sitting in a frikkin medical tent in Tajikistan tending to the wounds of American patriots? What the hell do I look like tending to anyone's but my future children's wounds?

He then said " You should be a lawyer. We have every other important profession in the family except a lawyer, a nurse and a doctor." I said. " Yes, Grandfather." But then, as the week went on I thought about it. I would make a great defense lawyer. And boy do I love to argue. I told my father last week and he sai "You'd make a great lawyer." (He'd also been suggesting this profession for years now.) I told my grandfather last night and he was happy. I told one of my guy friends and he would most likely be my first major client. LOLz

Now, I'm trying to share some Charles Hamilton and Blu to one of my good friends. He gets kinda skeptical but for the most part we have the same taste in music so I know he will like them....I sent him some B.o.B too....

Music excites me. I dont know what it is but it just does. Especially when I hear music with meaning and good words. Like I can sit and listen to Nas all day...I can keep One Mic or Close the Door on repeat and not get sick of it. My ideal music playlist would have only like 10-15 artists. No lie. I'll prove it. The only artists (rap) that I would constantly listen to are: Jigga, Esco, Biggie, Chalres Hamilton, Blu, B.o.B, Mos Def, Talib, AZ, dead prez, 50 and a few other who are not coming to my head at this moment. I listen to real rap music. Not the 'I wanna make people think I'm cool so ima pretend I went ot jail for 10 years even though I only spent 3 months for a minor crime' music or the 'let me make a dance for everything under the Sun' type music...

I get upset when people play garbage rap and say "Yo, this shxt is dope. This is real hip hop. He is the new face of hip hop." Trick please. If making dance songs and songs about donks, loving in clubs, giving buisness and foolishness like that is supposed to revive hip hop, then what killed it?

No one respects rappers that pretend. Don't say that you were born in the ghetto when you don't know what government cheese is. Don't say you grew up in the streets if ya parents never let you out the house. Stop claiming shxt that you are not. Don't try to be hard. Be yourself. Thats why I love Charles and Asher and them dudes. They didn't change to suit the public. Nobody should. Personally, I think that is why hip hop and rap isn't at its greatest anymore. No one wants to be themselves. its like rappers feel that they have to come with a certain look in order to be listened to. Damnit, Charles Hamilton wears pink and likes Sonic the Hedgehog and I love his music. If some rapper loved wearing Barney t-shirts, gave shout outs to Barney and the Teletubbies and had dope lyrics, even though I might think he was a bit queer, I'd listen to him. Damnit, I wouldn't care if a turtle rhymed like Nas, I'd listen. At the end of the day, all that should matter is the quality of the music.

Now I shall go read for an hour or so and then sleep until 12.30 this afternoon.

Swagger-Styles

Hey, it's been a while because I'm back in school now. Getting ready for finals and what not. But anyway, I came upon these pictures as I was looking through my Facebook.






After looking at these pics, I realize that my friends (at least some of them) are quite fashionable. The 90's retro look, the scarves and shiny jackets, sweaters and such. They really know how to put themselves together.

So, I feel (after reading my beloved GQ magazine) that I should be a male stylist. I mean, i could have put those outfits together. I can really dress a man. I do what GQ does in their fashion section: take a guys look (or the one they want to portray) and improve it with better choices or I can change a guys style totally. GQ should hire me...Oh yes...I can pull it off.

More next week...

Let's Get Some Shoes!!!

So, I feel (my favourite opening statement) that if I'm ever stinkin' rich, I'd be that lady with like 4 closets worth of footwear- two of them devoted to heels. And these are why.

Jessica Simpson Lonna's- $89~~ I can't even begin to tell you what I'd wear these with...

Alexander McQueen-$1,015~~I don't think I'll ever be willing to pay that much for shoes...



Giuseppe Zanotti-$416
Now I could go on and on but I really like the Jessica Simpson ones. I'm not her biggest fan but I love most of the shoes her company puts out. Also, they looks as if they'd match my prospective prom dress.....Sexy..As long as my date is at least 4 to 5 inches taller than me already... =)

The Supreme Ones

So, as I was walking up and down Broadway and 42nd and such avenues last night, I walked into a Foot Locker. I saw some nice sneakers but I wasn't that insterested untill I saw these baby's. Nike Greco's.

Nike Womens Greco 316552-042Nike Womens Greco 316552-042

I'm not too crazy about the skull's but the color way is nice...


Product 55-51707-7-02

I'd rock these...^^


Nike Greco Supreme
These I'd rock with all black...^^
Overall, I feel that these are pretty dope kicks....All would be rocked with skinny jeans of course...Also, I haven't seen EVERYBODY with them so they might be worth me buying....

Yo! MTV Recreations

So, as I was walking into different kick shops on Fulton today is came across the Creative Recreation Dicoco kicks. They were very cute. I also came across the Puma MTV raps sneakers. I think I've wanted them for a while but never bought them because I've only seen them in stores where everybody goes. I really don't like buying things from places where everybody else buy their stuff from, though it it virtually inevitable.


The Recs
I'd rock these with all black. I just looked them up on Zappos.com and they were $105. The store I saw them in had them for $120. Online shopping is the best by far.
The Pumas; Yo! MTV Raps
Yo! MTV Raps Puma First Round
The ones I saw were green and black and white but I can't seem to find those on the internet. Anywho, I would rock these baby's with black skinny jeans, a white shirt and a pink and yellow hoodie. Freshness man.

It Fell Out Of My Pen

So, as I was writing my English research paper last night, words to a song popped into my head. I promptly wrote them down and repeatedly sang over the melody as not to forget it. "I used to think about you all the time/ I used to think that you'd be only mine/ But then we left and went our seperate ways/ And I never thought I'd see you again today/ Now I realize I miss you..." I never really noticed untill now how much I'm inspired by certain events. I didn't even have to really think about the words. They just came to me, sorta just flowed out of my pen.

So now about the inspiration. Ty Brown. Ninth grade. Seven months. quite frankly, it was the best relationship I've ever been in. The guys after him could never measure up to his status. I have yet to find a guy so forgiving, unique, funny, smart, good looking (but not arrogant about it), and loveable. He came up behind me yesturday when I was looking for my old Living Envirionment (Bio) teacher and said "Someone got taler." I didn't even recognize him until I turned around. After that first inital look I couln't look at him anymore and I sorta walked away. But I was in total shock. He looked better than he did two and a half years ago. We ended up talking for a bit later on and he said I am now officially black in his book (He claimed that I used to act like a white girl. I have no clue why). He commented on my nails (I got lots of comments about them) and the tightness of my jeans (which weren't that tight) and asked me about school and what I planned on doing with my life and such truck. It was a wonderful conversation.

But one of the things that stood out to me while we were talking was this guy across the tables kicks. They were sexy. I asked him later on what they were and he told me that they were Supra Vaiders. I'd never seen Supra's in such colors or in that style for that matter-purple and gold.
I looked 'em up and they were $92. Not bad. Maybe I should write a song about kicks. I just might. =)

Style D'Homme

So, I went to Ford today. Fun. I ended up not doing the red and black colour scheme. Instead I went prep style and did a white button-down, black and grey argyle sweater vest, dark skinny jeans and my grey and blue Dunks. But while on the train coming home, I saw a guy with an Artful Dodger jacket on. I love AD's clothes. Quite frankly I would wear the guys stuff. Not to go all lesbo status and what not but I like it. Ibought a pair of Levi's for this guy and I wanted to keep them because they were so comfortable.

I went on Karmaloop and found this outfit. I would rock it well. =)


With the Red Nike Dunk Destroyers... Sexyness....


Sunday, November 23, 2008

Nike Dunkness

So, I was just on my forum and a dude just posted these...I find these Nike Dunk Destroyer's sexy...I'd rock the red ones with all white and a red scarf.... [KoolAidMan]Oh Yeah[/KoolAidMan]

Nike Dunk Destroyer Pack Maharishi

Little By Little

So, my aunt bought me a pair of boots, heels and a long tweed jacket today..... I can feel my swaggerosity becoming greater. Outfits have been planned. My first one is going to be put on trial tomorrow when I got to visit Ford. Red and Black, my signature colour combo...(yes I spell colour with a 'u' because its sexy) Dark skinny jeans, Red and white shirt, black hoodie, black and white Vandals, red and black scarf and black jacket....Sexy...My nails are painted almost neon green, purple and blue. Talk about different...

MAKE STATEMENTS!!!
BE DIFFERENT!!!
DON'T COPY/ SWAGGERJACK/JOCK/POSE!!!
Werd...I feel like those words are something everyone should follow... I mean, does it feel good to step out your house thinking you look fly but you see that everyone and their step-cousin is wearing what you have on? I don't think so. I used to see these girls on my block wearing these hoodies with hella colours on them and I'd just shake my head because they called themselves the Fashon Starter Sisters or some such BS. They didn't start anything. They wore what everybody else was wearing. I don't know about them or ya'll but I like dressing up and knowing that I'm not wearing what everybody has and I don't look like every other girl that thinks she can dress. I LOOK LIKE ME!!!
V-Lo def looks like V-Lo...No doubt about it...

The New V-Lo

So, I've recently been inspired to renew the old me. As in bring back the old me but make her better. Better style, better poetics, better person -- All original. The timing for the new V-Lo has to be perfect. I think I'm going to pop out here and there with little slivers of creative genius then I will give them the whole package. This is a long time coming. It's just that being up over in school has dulled me. Since I go there in 10th grade I haven't written anything great and Ive stopped caring about my writing and my style. It's as if my mind had a creativity switch and SBS turned it off. Its sad, but as the same with mntal illnessses, once you realizethe probelm you can work to solve it. I like lists so I'm going to list ways I can solve my issues.
1- Find poetry clubs
2- Write and have people critique it
3- Read/ listen to other people poetics
4- Find time to work with City on developing lyrics
5- Keep listening to real rap...The one with actual messages

Style-wise, there is only one solution: Buy whatever I like. Even in my state of not caring I realize that my stlye is different from most of the people I know. I don't follow trends or what's in. My motto: If you like it, buy it. It doesn't matter if the stars are wearing it or if it cost 20 million dollars. all that matters is that you look good. I've always followed that.
