REFRESH

first let me start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR!! i hope all you all have a blessed and productive one! win, win, WIN! with that being said, let's get right to it.

for the longest time i didn't want to like nicki minaj. being a hardcore lil kim fan to the death, i saw the colorful wigs, hot ass makeup, and the sexy pictures and just thought to myself "this bitch is a joke". then i heard some mixtape drops and a couple of features and was lightweight convinced. when "massive attack" came out, it totally pissed me off. i went back to thinking she was a joke. the track just didn't appeal to me. the only thing hot about it to me was the hook and beat. (even though nowadays in hip hop that's all you need =\) then, my esteemed colleague fresh sent me the pink friday album. i must say the first few tracks had me waiting for more. but then it just started going downhill. roman's revenge is by far the hottest track on the album and it's not even a solo track. i honestly like eminem's verses better, and not because it's a lil kim diss! lol. all in all it is a great album; i just expected more being as though there was so much hype behind it.

BLACK FRIDAY!! man oh man.. kim couldn't pick a better time to make a come back. when i first heard the track it blew me away. you hear that classic hardcore kim that us true fans know and love. if you've been under a rock listen to the track here a couple days ago, one of my followers on twitter tweeted that there was a video for the track. so this morning i went on youtube in search of it. i didn't find an official video, just some clips with the track playing in the background and even a video with the fight scene from the player's club. peep that here. while watching that, i found something interesting on the side bar. check it out.



i didn't realize how much shit nicki has done in the little bit of time she's been out. comparing to kim who's done just as much but has been around for years. nicki is younger and still has plenty of time to do her thing. only time will tell if she'll have longevity. summing it up, fuck all that versus shit. it all depends on who your favorite is.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

i recently turned 30 (july 4th) and have been thinking more than i usually do. it was SO much that took place leading up to my birthday that just made me consider getting all new friends and leaving everybody else behind. why? let's just say if a person smiles in your face and cheers you on but secretly does everything in their power to sabotage what you have going for you, that's not a real friend. but you turn around and call me your bestie. not to mention you talk about me to people that you met THROUGH me and you expect them not to say anything about it to me? of course everything was denied. i feel like if you have to keep saying "you know me! you know i wouldn't say something like that!" yelling at the top of your lungs, 9 times out of 10 you actually said that shit. c'mon son! i am truly a nice person that wears her heart on her sleeve, but i'm not gullible. and of course after all the drama, the guilty person has yet to call me. which is fine because i don't have shit to say to her. she's always doped up on some type of meds and sleeping her fuckin life away anyways so we don't have anything to talk about. my focus is ME.. always has been always will be. i'm not one to put up with anybody's bullshit. my circle is tight-knit and the people in it are riders that care about me and let me shine and vice-versa... just the way it should be. like i always say if you can't keep up, your ass will be left behind.
