The dopest emcee under 25 years old in the US today, Blu recently did an interview with the LA Times discussing his three albums, and the reasons why he choose to take his music career a lot more seriously. Thank God that he did; he is definitely the missing thread to the tapestry of hip-hop and music in general.

LaFace Records music mogul, LA Reid's son, Aaron Reid shows how being born into a wealthy family and boasting on your dad's prized possessions can make you look like a complete jackass. 19 year old, Aaron shows how being born with a silver spoon in your mouth spoils the fuck out of you to the point of parading around the spoils that your father (not YOU) worked so hard for. Check out his blog to see more rich kid snobbery.

I subscribed to this dude's YouTube channel a few months ago; I ran across this video this morning and thought it should be posted. I'm glad to see more black men around the same age as me going through the same bullshit as I do.
It's been a truly long time since I sat here at this desk and typed away at my feelings. I felt like it was only fitting on this beautiful Sunday that I write something that was on my heart and my mind. In the past two months, I have been spending a lot of time alone reflecting on my past behavior and interactions with other human beings. I have learned that I pride myself a lot on my bluntness; I have also learned that with the truthful things I speak of, they hurt people immensely. I have learned that the reason for my many collegiate years of drunken nights and sleepless days were equated to my loneliness. We all go out looking for something that we essentially know is not there in the local dive bars amongst other lonely people. We get completely drunk and high, and act obnoxiously like we are truly having fun to wake up in the morning drained and feeling even more alone than the night before. I have realized this in the past three months; I will continue to go out on weekends, but I will not make a complete ass out of myself like I have in the past. I will leave you with this lyric from a song called "Young Shields" which speaks of our generation's neurosis...
We drink too much and fuck too soon Smoke cigarettes in rented rooms We quit our jobs and shoot the Moon We cut our wrists and sleep 'til noon...
