Just a Quick...BLURB...

I've been listening to Alicia Keys' newest album, "The Element of Freedom", for about two weeks now, and I'm finally ready to pass my judgement on it.........The album is amazing people. This album, (and YES, I know I've said this a lot this year) can easily be my favorite album of the year. Alicia really put her heart and soul into this album, and it shows. My favorite song off of the album is "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)". The song was mostly written by rap new-comer Drake, and is a very smooth, groovy track. If you haven't listened to this album yet, I advise you to visit Alicia's Myspace and hear it for yourself. And as always...KATO MATE.

..I don't want to hear "Empire State of Mind" for a LONG TIME.

Starstuck.

I've always wanted to meet a celebrity. I remember getting excited when we would drive down Hollywood Blvd. on vacations in California. I was EAGER to spot one of them. Like a sci-fi geek eager to spot a UFO, I would peer out of the window in desperation, easily fooled when a faux Michael Jackson would catch my eye. As I got older, I realized that most celebrities probably don't hang out around Hollywood Blvd. Then one day, my friend told me that he saw Samuel L. Jackson while in NYC. SHOOT! Why do other people get to see them and not me? Oh the frustration. And it pains me even today to admit that I have yet to encounter one of them. Sure, I met then-President Bil Clinton when I was about eight in Martha's Vineyard, but that doesn't count to me. Sure, I caught a glimpse of Busta Rhymes one time in Long Island, but again: that doesn't count. I want a real encounter with a celebrity. One that I could blog about, and produces photographic evidence. And then it hit me. Would I be able to handle an encounter with a celebrity? I've always been one to shake my head at hysterical fans who tend to pass out and cry at the sight of celebrities, but as time moved on, I realized that those "crazy people" could easily be me one day. This epiphany has sparked a new fear in me. Now, before you ask why I would have a fear of meeting a celebrity, let's look at some examples of a celebrity that is liable to act out when "not in the mood". Kanye West. In September 2008, Mr. West and his manager were arrested for attacking a paparazzi at LAX airport. That by itself scares me. Kanye was also arrested that November for having another scuffle with a paparazzi at Newcastle Upon Time, England. Now, looking at those two examples of people getting attacked by Mr. West at the "wrong times", I think it's fair to say that Kanye really doesn't like being encountered when he's out and about. That's a problem for me. If I see a celebrity out on the street, (or anywhere), I'm going to approach them. And if it happens to be Kanye West....Oh yes! I'm most definitely going to approach him! But what if he's having one his infamous "off days" on the day that our paths cross? I guess you all will just have to stay tuned and see what happens...because we WILL meet. One day.

I am SO sorry for the lack of posts lately. School has just been so hectic that I couldn't find any time to post new entries. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel! CHRISTMAS BREAK IS UPON US! That'll leave me with enough time and new topics to blog about, so SIT TIGHT! I haven't given up on you so PLEASE hang in there as I find a way to balance both my personal life and my blogging. Thank you so much for all the support, and as always, KATO MATE.

Kanye named one of Rolling Stone's "Artists of The Decade"...Congratulations Kanye...

LOL.

Kanye West Slighted (Once Again).

I DON'T KNOW. Maybe this just isn't my year for award shows. I'm usually VERY excited for award shows, but after the 2009 VMA's, I haven't been too psyched about award shows. Now, I'm not one to point the finger at anyone, (who am I kidding?), but I think Kanye ruined the rest of the 2009 award season for me. Don't get me wrong though, I'm one of the biggest Kanye fans you'll ever meet, but Kanye did some damage to my anticipation of award shows at the 2009 VMA's. But I'm not here to bash Kanye. I'm actually here to stand by "The Louie Vuitton Don", and offer my always humble view on how the 2010 Grammy Nominations treated Kanye................ THE NOMINATIONS ARE WACK (in regards to Kanye's nominations). How is it that people loved "808's and Heartbreak", yet the only nod that the album got was a measly one for "Amazing", which is in the "Best Rap Performance By A Duo or Group" category. REALLY? The song was 90% Kanye West. To put it in that category is disrespectful (at the LEAST) to Kanye. Why not give "808's and Heartbreak" a nomination in "Best Pop Album"? We all know that it belongs in that category, (with a couple more nominations to be honest). I find it hilarious how Kanye lost all nods in the music world after the VMA incident. We all know that he already had some of those awards in the BAG at the VMA's (let's be honest), but due to his irresponsible actions that night, he lost them. Same thing happened at the AMA's and all of the award shows that followed. I at least expected The Grammy's to get over the "Kanye Stigma" that all of America was stricken with. Obviously not. Well, all there is to do now is just sit back and hope that Mr. West can at least win the (wack) awards that he's nominated for. Good luck Mr. West.
