A Bit of An EXPLANATION...
Okay.
So I haven't wrote a blog in a BILLION years. A lot of ish has happened in the past couple weeks.
So, I thought I found the "right one" [Hence: LETTER TO SHAKIRA] but unfortunately, or maybe not... She was not. Not to say anything bad about her, because I still CARE about her; but HOW it ended was completely a headache I didn't need to deal with. What sealed the deal, was her saying that she's getting married... on 3-6-10... She actually sent that THROUGH a TEXT! [Somewhere, I can hear my ex-girlfriends around the world laugh and cheer in unison...] I have that text saved in my phone as a reminder. That all things that glitters is NOT gold. Sometimes, PERFECT can be IMPERFECT... Pretty much, that's all I have to say about that.
"N PLAIN SIGHT" is on a HIATUS. But I'm still recording. I got wit some guys [STAY LOW KEY PRODUCTIONS] and we're working on a compilation CD at the moment, and we've also been in constant communication with Geffen Records... So look out for that, keep your fingers crossed. I'll get back to yall later... UNC game is on.
UNO. EASY!

Digital Girl of the Week: Dollicia Bryan
So, its FRIDAY... and I owed you guys a Digital Girl of the week, but I didn't have one! So I had to kinda research and that means I had to go thru my XXL mags HARD! But I soon remembered the XXL Eye Candy of the Year for 08'... Dollicia Bryan. I won't front: She held hip-hop videos down last year, appearing in Kanye's "Love Lockdown" and Weezy's "Got Money". Now, while those aren't the best evidence to judge [One being, that she's in the EXTENDED CUT for Love Lockdown AND 2, You can't really see Doll in the other video.] Now, besides spats with pint-sized rappers [Bow Wow what up?], Dollicia is trying to foray into acting [Naw...REALLY? Like every other VIDEO GIRL?]. While I don't exactly expect her getting OSCAR roles first go round... Hey, at least she aint rapping... [Sorry Angel...]

Letter To Shakira
Sunday March 1st, 2009.
The date my LIFE changed. The day that all my dreams were realized… It is the day YOU entered my life… OFFICIALLY. You’re no longer my friend, but my girl… my woman… my future wife [*hint hint*]. Hands down, you’re the BEST I ever had. In this short time, there’s no comparison to you. But, then again, it’s always been that way since first glance. I know this road is only going to get harder as we both are on a road to success, but I’m glad I’m in this car with you. My heart stops when you call me “BABY”, sparks shoot up my spine when you say “I LOVE YOU”.
I try my hardest to be the best MAN I can be, and that’s why sometimes my “SUPERMAN” efforts are ill-fated in some situations. It’s only because I want to help, so I give you words of encouragement so you’d know someone is behind you. I am your #1 fan, your GROUPIE… Words can’t explain how you do me. I am IN love with you… Words can’t even express how I feel for you. I am undoubtedly yours: NOW AND FOREVER. I look forward to building a life with you. I only wish you see what I see.
You say I’m your ‘HALO’ but YOU are my angel. The light at the end of the tunnel… You are not the target, but the arrow; Cupid’s arrow. I finally understand the lyrics and what they mean to you, and I only hope to please you. So… the Lord has answered my prayers and sent me you. After years of tests and failures, he brings me the best woman to get me on track. To support, to encourage, to guide… And she still manages to be so fly…
I Love You Shakira Ballard…

The Fear
This has been something in the making for a long time.
I've always said I was gonna do this.
It has always been my intention on doing this.
I just hadn't found the time. Nor felt the circumstances to be right...
But I've decided to do it NOW.
I'll tell you this. Starting your own mixtape is a VERY challenging thing. You set up beats, but you dont want the WHOLE thing to be beats from songs that everyone has heard. You go through the whole "writing before/writing during" process. You choose your best songs to record while allowing yourself to be spontaneous and make songs "on the fly". Then its recording. Cause you dont wanna do it grassroots in ya homeboy's closet. or "Hustle and Flow" style in ya moms basement or garage. But if the sound quality is there, and you got to the tools... I say go for it.
Through all these hurdles, I managed to decide to do it. But it wasn't until hearing Drake's "SO FAR GONE" that I completely went over the edge. I admit, I was waiting for something to inspire me, 808's and Heartbreak got me close...but not enough. "Comeback Season" got me closer... But it was "SO FAR GONE" that did it... I remember the moment: Late at night, listening to "Say Whats Real" and the line of, "My next girl standing by my EX girl, standing by the NEXT girl I'm fucking right now..." That sealed it. I immediately turned off the radio and started writing. I had been writing casually earlier, but now I was in a inspired rage. After I found my beats, called my boy Mike who usually makes beats for me... I linked up with another producer TWIX. And now you pretty much have the outline for your mixtape. I decided to call it, "N PLAIN SIGHT".
I named it that because a lot of things that we dont realize or really recognize is right in front of us namely, in plain sight. Whether its the right choice, right career, right location, the "one"... these things can all be in plain sight. Deep huh? This mixtape is like a diary of sorts, a chronicle of events that has happened in the past or at that moment.Cause there's alot I'll get off my chest. I just wanted to blog and tell you guys my plans, and as a show of good faith... I'll type out my TRACK LIST [LATER] to prove I'm not bs'in you...
So wish me luck...
