Is Social Media Taking Over? Social Media Growth Statistics


It's looks like social media has already injected a hostile takeover of sorts...and honestly now if I even think about it myself I doubt if I even talk on the phone as much as I used to. Nonetheless here is a overview of some of the statistics....

Pic of the Day....


Shout out to all of the knowledge and wisdom seekers out there and to the #onehundreddollarbillers

"Bigger Than Life" Decoded....


It's rarely that I ever do this, and for whatever reason I'm fully aware that many of our rappers unfortunately receive a lot of flack, but when I heard Nipsey Hu$$les "Bigger Than Life" new release ft June Summers to be short....it took my breath away because it expresses the right and exact sentiment that I feel I've always and continue to carry as a man throughout my life today at this very moment! The ups, the downs, and twist and turns within your inner conscious. Man I wish the world could read/hear sh!t like this and focus on whats real instead of all these raggedy ass blogs, news and media publications, and talk shows etc. losing focus of themselves. So I'm also attaching the audio file for you to hear as well to understand how the lyrics have been formulated

Audio File:


Lyrics....
I dont want your love
it’s not why I make music
I owe myself, I told myself back then that I would do this
and I always look so out of reach
it just seems so confusing
that I felt my place in life
a young black man its seems so useless
that I don’t want no help
just let me suffer through this
The world would not know Jesus Christ if there was never Judas
this knife thats in my back
it’d be the the truth that introduced us
and the distance in between us
its the proof of my conclusion
so life is what you make it
I hope you make a movement
hope your opportunity survives the opportunist
hoping as you walk across the sand you see my shoeprint
and you follow, til it change your life, it’s all an evolution
and I hope you find your passion, cause I found mine in this music
but I hope it’s not material cause that’s all an illusion
and they all in colusion
this racist institution double standard
acting like they not the reason we ruthless

Something New: The ARCHOS 101 internet tablet



The ARCHOS 101 internet tablet is a tablet who’s choice you’ll be proud of. You’ll have in your hands the best of the highly desirable Android™ technology with a large, high-resolution 10.1’’ screen, a weight of 480 g, and a thinness of just 12 mm. Beyond containing your window into the Internet and your HD multimedia, your device is completely customizable with a world of apps to make it your personal tablet.

But now I can't even lie, early this morning I played this 1st shooter game on the iPad for the first and I ain't even gonna lie, it was hardbody which made me think maybe I should be buying one but then I came home today and seen this at a price of roughly $300 so now I'm thinking this may be a better look especially if costs is an issue.

For Ladies Only: Keyshia Dior Launches New Lipstick Line “SECRET KISSES”


If you’ve followed Keyshia Dior and/or seen her out and about at appearances. Then you’ve seen her vibrant taste in colors for not only what she wears but also for her choice in lipstick color. I’ve seen her with that bright blue lipstick color illuminating the club. Then another time in green (click here for video). Well, Keyshia did what I think is the smartest business move I’ve seen in a minute. She’s branded the term “Secret Kisses” into her own lipstick line with over 15 different shades. They’re all available for pre-order now and will be released on Valentine’s weekend of this new year.

Nikki Minaj covers King Magazine


What would be your dream role?

I’d like to play someone in a Tim Burton movie, where I get dressed up and painted and crazy.

You kind of do that now.

Then I want to be able to do some action stuff, like Angelina Jolie.

Like in Salt?

Yes! And then I’d like to just play a regular girl who, you know, is facing the world. Something really sentimental and organic, that girls all around the world can identify with. You know, how Jada Pinkett Smith did in Jason’s Lyric.

Teena Marie Tribute: Strong Arm Steady – Do Ya Thang Girl f. Casey Veggies & Picaso (prod. Statik Selektah)


The beat was originally used on Statik and Termanology’s 1982 project. We started this record while working on our future project with Statik, but he used the beat on 1982. We felt it was appropriate to release, with the passing of the inspiring & great ivory queen Ms. Teena Marie. May she Rest in Peace. – Krondon(of Strong Arm Steady)

UPDATE: 5 Teens Found Dead in Florida Hotel; Carbon Monoxide the Culprit


5 teens that checked into a Florida hotel room to celebrate a 19th birthday were found dead at 2pm today by a hotel maid.

The five were found in their street clothes on or around a bed. They were all apparently longtime friends from their Little Haiti neighborhood.

Police are still investigating the deaths, but authorities believe carbon monoxide caused the deaths. There were no signs of illegal drugs or alcohol in the room.

A 2007 Florida law requires that gas detectors be installed in hotel and motel boiler rooms. It also requires all homes and apartment buildings built after July 1, 2008, with a heater, fireplace or attached garage be equipped with an alarm within 10 feet of bedrooms.

Hialeah police are investigating the inspection and fire records of the Hotel Presidente to see if the building had been ordered to install carbon monoxide detectors.

Such a sad, tragic story!! Prayers to the family and friends of the victims!!
