Q-Tip/ The Cool Kids Recap!!!!! (12/2)
Peace, Love, Unity, and Having Fun.
HIP HOP!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooooooooooooo, last night was one of the illest nights of my life. Hands down.
Highline Ballroom with some friends, antsy for some real/good music.
Opening Act #1- Pacific Divison. A trio from LA, Mibb, Like, and BeYoung. What a great set, I can't stop listening to them! Currently obsessed with their "I'm Fat" "Gorgeous" and "Women Problems" joints. They're young, energetic, and a great time. Smooth.... Not to mention I'm crushin on two of them. =)
Opening Act #2- The Knux. Nope. Shouldn't have happened, really. Rock, pop-ish rap. Not my kind of fun. 2 very creepy guys who seemed ridiculously angry, demanding the crowd to go wild for them like they deserved it. Whatever.
The Cool Kids- Yes, yes ya'll. They started with "Pump Up the Volume", energy on highhhhh =) Highlights for me include "I (MIKEY) ROCK", "Black Mags", "Oscar the Grouch", "88"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and much more. Those are some funny dudes too, just like PacDiv, which always makes a show that much more fun.
And then.
*sigh*
Q-TIP. He's Godlike, I don't care what anyone says. Where do I begin? We were right up front the whole time, to the point where my neck was killin me from looking UP at the stage. Q comes out and he's standing directly in front of me. Ridiculously hyped, screaming the lyrics to Shaka into the mic. I wasn't ready. I wish I could remember the exact playlist, it was taped to the floor of the stage and we could read it lol
But anyways, he did "BONITA" "CHECK THE RHYME!!!!!!!" "AWARD TOUR!!!!!" (where he put the fuckin' mic to my friend's mouth and he said "do dat do dat....") "ELECTRIC RELAXATION!!!!" and among seeeeeveral other oldies, "SUCKA NIGGA"
I felt kind of embarrassed when he did "Check The Rhyme" because he gave the mic to 2 guys and they didn't know the words fully and his facial expression... it killed me lol you could tell he was just like "what. the. FUCK?!" he looked dumbfounded and I kept flashbackin to the last concert at NOKIA when he brought homeboy onto the STAGE and he was vibinnnn, knew every single world. Q looked at us with that smile and was like, "YO, KNOW MY SHIT!!!!" And put us in our place by doing it himself. I like it better that way anyways ;)
From the new shit he did "Gettin' Up" "You" "We Fight/ Love" "Manwomanboogie" (where Amanda Diva's cute self came out to jam) "Move" and finished with "Life is Better", coming out into the audience and everything.
Backtrack, right after Q started, we're vibing, and my friend's friend mentions that Mos Def was standing behind us for some time, vibing in the audience like nothing. Immediately- I die. (For about the 3rd time in the night.) So! Q-Tip is doing Bonita, we're all on Cloud 9 and I feel this commotion to my right. MOS DEF IS ATTEMPTING TO CHILL IN THE AUDIENCE 3 PEOPLE AWAY FROM ME. wtf!?!!??! as;odglha;dfgn I wasn't ready. It was too much on my heart because I wanted to stare at this wonderful man and Q-Tip performing one of my favorite Tribe songs at the same time. Not possible- or healthy. I felt bad for Mos though, all he wanted to do was chill and enjoy the show- but everyone was hounding him taking pictures lol (including me)
When it was over, I was so lifted I seriously didn't wanna leave the venue. Lucky me for hanging around because I recognized this one guy, walked up to him, turns out it was the editor in chief over at xxl magazine....! As a journalism major... I was gassed lol
Aw, and Talib was there =)
When we walked out, Why was Mikey Rock from The Cool Kids, just chillin outside? With his fine self? Coolin?
What an amazing night. It's experiences like these that make me want to work in the business that much more.
Oh, and at the end of it all? It was-
-you.

Lyrics
All I want is to find lyrics online for Q-Tip's The Renaissance.
Somebody take the time to write these out!
He just says so much sometimes, I feel the need to read his rhymes.

PS- I'm feeling "Believe" featuring D'Angelo a little TOO much... The reason I'm writing this entry.

Ohhhhh, so we're trying to raise prices of Metrocards now?!

Wild, Wild Hair Part 2
So!
I recently bought cocoa butter oil for the locks and I'm not sure if I like it as a styling product.
Actually, no, I don't.
Still, I think it's good for the scalp, so I'll keep it for that.
In other exciting news (lol) I finally purchased my first Miss Jessie's product!
Behold:
Supposedly, these products are the mother of all curly hair products... And the salon in Brooklyn looks pretty legit as well.
I'm trying to head over there ASAP! (What I should be doing is my homework right now, so that I could have me a nice curly hair weekend... but that's neither here nor there.)
So I did my usual. No shampoo, just conditioner (look into that, I don't feel like explaining why curly hair doesn't necessarily need shampoo.)
Then I separated my hair and put the meringue in. Unfortunately!!!!!! I diffused and the jar says to air dry... Which means, I'm not lookin' too perfect right now lol
But this was only my first time.
Details on my second attempt- later!
=)

Ramblings, ramblings... and ramblings 4
I'm at the point of my academic career where I just want to stop.
You?
I'm lazy, I don't see the point, I feel smart enough for the time being, and I just want to get the fuck out there.
I don't care for the classes I'm taking and I want to breathe. I'm over this, the paper writing, the studying.
I used to love school, honestly. Now I'm just not motivated, there are so many things I'd rather be doing than writing a paper on the hero in an Asian American novel. Sure it's a good book... but so what?
I don't know how much longer I can take.

OBAMA.
Notice how I have yet to comment on our first black president.
I just can't find the right words to express how I feel inside about it.
I should've been like every other blog and had my GIANT picture of Obama up the MINUTE we found out he won...
But I'm *still not ready.
Everything this country has put us through, finally, finally, finally.
That's all I kept thinking (as I cried alone in my dorm for about an hour, ha).
Who knows when I'll be ready.
I'm hearing talks of going to the inauguration in January, maybe by then I'll be able to process what's happening to this country.
*My country? Yeah, maybe I'll feel right saying that soon.
=)

There Is A BIG Difference Between...
THESE PUERTO RICANS:
AND THESE PUERTO RICANS:
... And I just need you all to understand this.
I was gonna write this entirely too long rant about a discussion on race in movies that we had in class, how we brought up the Latinos who embrace their race in Hollywood, and those who don't, how I find myself mostly annoyed with Latinas like J.Lo and how as much as she doesn't represent me... she actually does at the end of the day- but I'd rather not.
-franso
PS- frustrated much?

Wild, Wild Hair
Can we focus on ME for a minute? Damn!
Lately... I've been feeling a lot like THIS:
.JPG)
Yes yes, that's me long ago.
I appreciate every compliment on my hair, I do.
I just need people to understand that this hair is pretty much no fun. There, I said it.
IT FEELS LIKE A LOSING GAME.
"Which products should I use? How often should I wash it? Maybe washing it everyday is the best way to avoid untangling for an hour. No wait, then that'll dry it out right? No gel, right? OK, so just hair food? But that feels like Vaseline! Fuck it, I'm just gonna get a fade."
Understand?
Then I have a friend going natural, talking about all these African products and I'm like !?!?!?!?
So she put me on pretty much, with a bunch of blogs to save my soul.
My FAVORITE right now though? www.coarsehair.blogspot.com
And then THAT website put me onto www.kinky-curly.com!
I wanna try 2 of their products, KNOT TODAY and CURLING PUDDING!!!!
So I'll let you all know how that goes when I actually cop those...
And I kinda wanna dye my hair this color:
I doubt I'll do it, all this hair a completely different color... but it's always fun to dream.
Lastly... I need you to look at some pictures from this children's book "Wild, Wild Hair" that I stumbled upon at work.
You can't tell me this book isn't about me.
Here's the cover:
REALLY?! I died when I saw this book!
These next two are me every morning:
My mom and I up until middle school (AND Mami got short hair, crazy!):
And while I wish the book would've ended with a solution to this madness... This is cute enough:
Awww! Gotta love it.
=)

Making the Band Finale
*Courtesy of http://justentertainment.files.wordpress.com
*Courtesy of Rollingstone.com
Drama, drama, drama!
I get off the train, walk to 45th and Broadway and join the line with Geezy. And we wait.
The line for the Making the Band Finale at the MTV Studios isn't as bad as I thought, but I'm starving, underdressed with throbbing feet, and anxious about homework.
My connect won't answer my emails and we're not the list to get inside.
"Gabby, I'm out."
I was over the whole situation, but not homegirl- DETERMINATION AT IT'S BEST!
I'm trying to get us upstairs and nothing. is. working.
Finally (BLESS HIS SOUL!!!!!) our new crush, security guard TONY, found who we were looking for and we got upstairs.
Shitty seats, but what an interesting show.
We met Dawn (mad sweet and down to earth), Aundrea (mad tiny and cute in the highest heels ever), and Shannon (graceful, perfection).
We found out... nothing. Everyone was so tight lipped, huh?
What do you guys think?
I feel Diddy on Aubrey being a different person (I think she's on something)... but did he have to kick her out?
And poor D.Woods... even though I always felt like she should be a solo act. She doesn't mix well with them, I don't think.
So more power to her! :)
I wonder if Dawn is gonna go solo.... WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN WITH THEM?!
We can assume all we want... but the look in Diddy's eyes... I wish we knew what was REALLY going on...
God is good, we wound up backstage where we met Willie who gave us a kiss hello, and jolly Brian who hugged me once I told him he was my favorite voice in the group and that I respect him.
Wish I could go more into detail but yesterday was just CRAZY and I still can't believe we were chillin backstage lol
They just seem so down to earth and i like them even more.
Time to start applying for internships...!!!

Maxwell Recap!!!
Can I just jump right into it and say that with each song performed by this beast of a man, it was like he was undressing every woman in the audience?
One by one, shirt, pants, bra....
Radio City, 8pm, opening act Jazmine Sullivan (Need U Bad)
I don't have pictures or anything, we were sitting all the way up top, but wow guys... what a fucking show.
What a sexy show... and not even in a raunchy way.
How you have a song that's just sexy- even before you start singing?!
*sigh*
o0o, how about before he started this one song... he stopped it and was like
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PANTIES ON MY STAGE
i died.
he literally stopped the song.
and of course, some lady threw some big ass drawers (they weren't panties, they were DRAWERS) instantly and he teased about her having some junk in the trunk. mad cute.
i didn't know some of the songs but my highlights were SUMTHIN' SUMTHIN', FORTUNATE, ASCENSION, EVERWANTING, PRETTY WINGS, Al Green's SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, WHENEVER WHEREVER WHATEVER
the crowd went wild when he did This Woman's Work of course... but, honestly... i hate that song. i know, i know...
Damn, that concert was so soothing.
That man is amazing.

MORE Common & N.E.R.D RECAP!!!!!!!!!
I HAD to steal some concert clips from my homie Krystell over at Blind But Guided...
Not so much for ya (all 4 of ya lol)... But for me!
Here's the moment where I died, N.E.R.D's Anti Matter:
And HERE is a RIDICULOUS clip of Common and Pharrell dancing during Universal Mind Control, as well as Get Em High, Drivin' Me Wild, I Want You, and that fuckin opening bass to Be which literally makes my heart flutter every time I hear it:
These clips made me smile. OD.

Common & N.E.R.D RECAP!!!!!!!!!
Promised I'd come back with some pictures, right?
Enjoy!
N.E.R.D! (well, Pharrell lol)
Common!
Also got some video clips of one of the illest concerts I've been to.
So, I went with MissTiff and Michelle, and met up with some HS friends after we got there.
We were RIGHT UP FRONT. No joke.
Chester French opened, a new group Pharrell just signed. 2 white boys from Harvard, lol, they were cool... but by that time, our bodies were already killing us and we were anxious for what we came for!
Lights go up and go dim again and it happens.
N.E.R.D comes on stage and i hear that guitar riff. THE guitar riff.
THESE FOOLS STARTED WITH MY FAVORITE SONG OFF OF SEEING SOUNDS. ANTI MATTER.
They also did Bobby James, Braaaaaaain, RUN TO THE SUN!!!!!! Spaz, KillJoy, YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!!! Rockstar! Lapdance, and Everyone Nose and She Wants to Move with helllllla girls on stage. It was crazy.
My Pharrell crush is back and in full effect. Some bullshit,lol
Here are some clips:
Kill Joy
Bobby James
My favorite, You Know What
Common was last and wow, what a set.
He did waaaaaay more new shit than I had expected, but it was fun. When you have a live band, everything just sounds SO. MUCH. BETTER.
Of old shit, he did Go, The People, The Corner, The Food, I Want You, Drivin' Me Wild, BE!!!! TESTIFY!!!! I USED TO LOVE HER!!! and THE LIGHT!!!!
His new one, Universal Mind Control was hot... especially when his fine ass started to break dance.
Pharrell came back out and did some songs, since he's done a lot on the new album.
I'm nervous about this new party album by the way, Common is definitely in a different point in his life.
Here's The Light:
It was an amazing night. I enjoyed N.E.R.D more... I mean, I've seen Common 3x now so, you know.
Fun little side facts:
*Diddy was there, looking all fruity in VIP. Cassie was there too... fixing the sling he had on his left arm here and there lol
*Kanye was rumored to be there, didn't see him.
*Foxy Brown appeared out of nowhere right next to us. Gross. Gross. Gross. Something MUST be wrong because that HAIR?!?!? Oh no....
*Cee-Lo was there, in a tight black velour suit. Looking like a turd. That's mean, he sang a song with Common. Mad cool =)
