Foia caught me with one so here it is.


"List seven songs that you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to."

So Sad: Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse acting like the crack head that she is.


I am sorry but this is just sad to me I hurried up and got this woman's album when it came out the voice and the music just had me in a trance and to watch her just sabotage her life is tragic.

If there ever was some one who needs saving it's her.

This is how you move the crowd.

Rappers take note.

R.I.P: Bo Diddley December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008

Man I did not see this one coming at all.

It's easy to take people even legends for grant it, you dont go to the concerts or buy the music because in your mind you think there always going to be there, than you wake up and there gone.

And you never get a chance to say thanks for the sounds.

Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.

He was 79.

Critics say he was the bridge between blues and Rock n Roll and if you listen to his music you can see why.

I know Heaven is rocking hard tonight.

R.I.P.

Classic

BB King : How Blue Can You Get

What I am Rockin: Lil Wayne

I got to give it up to the kid he is killing them right now.

You been to the club when this is playing?



Women damn near come out their clothes when this song is played.

I spent the weekend drowning my academic sorrows in strong drinks from one bar to one club than back.

I dont think I have any gastric juices left in my stomach.

Every where I went this song had people losing their minds and I do not know if it was the drinks or the hyped up women but damn if this song di not get in me.

Now say what you will about the lack of word play, (but really who is left in Hip-Hop that really spits?), this dude makes up for it in charisma/swagger.

It's oozing all over his music, and that can carry you a longer way than just skills by its self.

What I am Rockin: Nina B - $ 4 Minute Remix (Madonna, Justin & Timbaland)

Yeah I know it's there song but damn JT and Madonna I want to here more Nina B.

What I am Rockin: The Roots (Feat. Wale & Chrisette Michele) - Rising Up

The roots are really in my dog house right now.

I love how they and acts like Outkast, Gnarls Barkely, Kanye West, Common and such are rebuilding Hip-Hop from the ground up, (F$#@ that I Still Love Her) but the roots have been far left with it after Things Fall Apart I feel like they stole money from me with the two albums that followed that one.

This is a nice way to come back up though.

What I am Rockin: Chevy P
