Why Clef?


"For your smile" feat. TiRon --> smooth joint, kinda has a Kanye feel to it, don't know why though...FEELIN IT.



"Dear Winter" feat. Reks --> Some intellectually stimulating and motivational spirits for your mind....The title is pretty appropriate for the what has currently gone on in the Nation's Capitol with this blizzard, aint it? lol...



"Sounds G.O.O.D. 2 me" feat. Consequence --> out of Kanye's G.O.O.D. music camp...nice lil joint!



"Ms. Right (prod. MF DOOM)" feat. Ayomari & TiRon --> Never really heard of these cats but I though the beat was hot and rhymes weren't too bad either...One of my previous posts I had put you on to MF Doom with him doing his own sampling of Anita Baker's "Sweet Love"



"Green" feat. Coultrain --> As I continue to pull things out of my repertoire, I continue to discover how much great music is out there and has been out there for years. I remember hearing this song on an online radio station I used to listen to, LiquidSoulElements outta the ATL...SO SOULFUL AINT IT?!...Coultrain...FEELIN' IT!

What ya know bout?

Bueno trabajo, Costa Rica!  They have elected this country's first female President, Laura Chinchilla.

Did you know Costa Rica doesn't even have an army?  Abolished in 1949.
France is selling arms to Russia.  How interesting since France is a part of NATO.  Russia is still continuing to big arm the country of Georgia, which then leaves the "savior" country U.S. to start asking questions..hmmm

Thought this was kinda interesting from MoveOn.org.  I am not sure of the authenticity of this "ransom note", but nonetheless it brought my attention.  Recently, President Obama invited the Republican party to a televised open discussion on health care once again in response to their request for a discussion.  I am pretty sure the response was not to the least open.  As we all remember the last time open televised discussion which allowed them to ask him questions, did not make the Republicans looks so "smart."

Dr. Bernard Anthony Harris, Jr., the first African-American towalk in space (first to fly into space is Guion S. Bluford, Jr. on Challenger in '83) has been offering FREE two-week science camp programs at selected universities around the country, some of which are HBCUs.  Pulling back to the community as well all should in some way....Reading about this definitely was a personal boost of encouragement.  The importance of mathematics and science is definitely losing it's niche in education.

Haiti debt forgiven

It has now been stated, by all nation-members of the G7, that any debt owed by Haiti is forgiven.

Yeah I would think, France, part of the G7 would not be so ruthless and say they are still owed by a people they once enslaved and made the Haitians pay for their own freedom.

Actually, I wanted to write a good amount for this post but you know what?....there is plenty of information out there on the history of this country and other countries that have been treated just as horribly but I will continue to bring to light any injustice that I can possibly take the time to share.

Obama says, "C'mon Son!"



Well he doesn't actually say "C'mon Son!" but I definitely like Jon Stewart's commentary on this one!

This is a good look from the folks over @ on.us.tees where I referenced it....

A higher note.

"when hip hop died, i wasnt angry on the real, go ahead let it die, my name is on the will" -Merchant of Dreams
---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Closer" feat. Corinne Bailey Rae --> Corinne Bailey Rae's latest album, "The Sea" is definitely a good look!...but all the songs are not uptempo like this one, of course...FEELIN IT!...Full Version



"Oh My" feat. Redman --> same Redman, different beat. Sample from "The Average White Band" This joint is pretty hot. FEELIN IT!



"Special" feat. Strange Fruit & Thesis --> Was listening to this one in the car and wanted to post. This is a song from a few years back off of the mixtape, "Merchant of Dreams"....another glorious mixtape produced by the N.C.legend 9th Wonder...FEELIN IT!

Just a few things

Miss Virginia 2009 is Miss America 2010....23 year-old Communications major at VCU out of my hometown! Let's get it....VA STAND UP!!....yeah, She is FINE!

Serena Williams adds yet another tennis tournament title to her extensive list.  Ms. Williams won the 2010 Australian Open through some growling painful matches...I see you champ!

So yeah, I know Obama's most recent State of the Union Address seems like ages ago but I want to mention something in particular about Obama claiming that "the flood gates will open" on a supreme court decision.  Pretty much right now U.S. corporation have a loop hole to give unlimited contributions to political campaigns.

Uh oh Apple!









Wants some black history? Look around you, it is definitely happening right now!!!

Always know the past because it was a present for the future.
