Empty

No call needed to know how much your needed.
And that text messge that washed away that feeeling.
I open my bedroom door to find this place empty.
Let's write our own story in one of these blank pages.
Fold up the paper and float down the river.
We managed to make it over the jagged rocks.
No amount of snags could hold us back.
If you look in the sky the clouds have dreams also.
As I place my hands on your hips,
Know our path wasn't pre-determined.
May you and I live happily ever after,
In a future that's not meant for us.

Revenge Is Best Served.....

Has someone done something so painful that you feel like you have to get them back? But deep down what fuels that? Is it personality? Or as humans have we been conditioned to get revenge? Don't believe me then let me kick you some knowledge at you real quick. A woman works late and on the way to her car she is taken and raped. She gets away and is coherent enough to give the police a description of the rapist. The rapist is caught but before he has a chance to go to trail the woman's husband puts a bullet in the guys head. Now if that guy was a rational person the husband would of let our court system take care of the rapist but he felt that he had to get revenge for his wife's rape. Does that mean he wasn't rational? Is rationale even a factor in something like this? I wouldn't go so far as to say that you should go around and tell you to go shoot people that have done you wrong. If that was the case all us would be doing a lot of time. Let me ask you one more question: will statifying that urge to get that person back really suffice what they have done to you?

Revenge is best served when a rational person really thinks about what they are doing and knows their conquence to their actions.

P.S.
I know my last couple of posts have been the happiest so I promise the next one will be on a better note.

Much Love,

We'll Always Love Big Poppa


This posts is dedicated to the memory of the late great Christopher Wallace a.k.a The Notorious B.I.G. March 9, 1997 the hip hop world losts one of its greatest talents. The Notorious B.I.G. was brutally shot and murdered, his case still remains unsolved. I don't know what else to say about him which hasn't been said. Even though it's been 11 years since his passing his impact in hip hop music is still deep rooted in our culture. So my people over at hiphodx.com along with DJ Slimm have put together one hell of a mixtape honoring the late emcee. Stop pussy footing around and go check it out, hell I'll even make it easier for you and hook it up with the link: http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/mixtape/id.132/title.hiphopdx-dj-slimm-brooklyns-finest-best-of-biggie
P.S.
Hopefully I'll have another one up either today or tomorrow.

The Industry and The Ringtone Artist

Music has entered a new era and that is of the ringtone artist. If you wondering what a ringtone artist is let me break it down for you. A ringtone artist is a musician that the record companies groom knowing that the artist's single will probably sell more ringtones then actual records. First off let's not get mad at the record companies for capitalizing on something so simple. Look at Soulja Boy he's sold over 5 MILLION ringtones of Crank Dat and he's still going strong. You know who you should be mad at...........wait for it..............wait for it......................you should be mad at yourself, yes I'm including myself in that too. We have conditioned our ears to just wanting to hear singles and not the rest of the album. With the help of itunes consumers can pick and choose what they want. I mean why take the risk of buying an entire album and not liking it when you can buy the hot single and know you will like it. Well if you don't believe me can you name Huey aka Mr. Pop lock and dropout its other single? Or how about this just another song on his album? Thank you point proven, but just lik everything else the record companies had to learn to adapt to the digtial age and they have done quite well if you have ask me. So don't get mad and say we're being fed bullshit when you're sitting there eating this up. Think about it when you buy that hot new artist's ringtone.


Peace.

Vice Grip

Feel free to yell at the world.
Sudden implosions from the chest,
Can make one's sanity weak.
Letting go is the first step.
This took over your life,
And all your vanity
I watch to see how far you,
Can make it in the dark.
Because helping hands,
Were pushed away.
As me and the company you keep,
Watched you cling to that life perserver.
Would say you hit rock bottom,
But you're too confortable there.

Calling Out Dr. Dre

Dear Dr. Dre,
Where's Detox? C'mon man? Stop bullshitting the people and just tell us Detox is never coming out. I understand that this is one of the most anticipated albums ever in hip hop history so you want to work the tweaks out. But for four years? C'mon man. You're just lead us around saying that Detox will be out this year or will be out fall of this year. What happened to it coming out before The Game's first album? Oh wait, you scrapped that and gave the beats to The Game. How many time are you going to call off this album and then decide it's back on? Do you remember that youtube video you did with Bishop Lamont saying Detox was dropping September of 2007? Well I do and guess what homie, 2 double 0 seven has come and gone. You know when(I mean if) this album ever comes out this better be some mind blowing stuff. With all the faulty dates and all the hype this better be the best thing my ears have ever heard. I've had so many discussion with people about this album and I finally gave up. I won't believe anything until I have physical album of Detox is my hand and I can put it in my cd player. Until then I'm calling bullshit on Dr. Dre and his word means nothing till the album hits the stores.


P.S.
Dre, it's okay if you don't drop this album fans have already come to terms with it.

This Ones For Bri

As most of you know by now the body of Brianna Denison was found Friday afternoon in a southwest Reno field. On Saturday Reno police confirmed our worst fears when they announced that the body they found was indeed Brianna. First I want to say to Bri's family that I'm truly sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers go out to you. The second thing I want to address is the community. This community went above and beyond to make sure everything that could be done for Brianna was done. From having a missing person posters covered every inch of this city, to bring national attention to this case. The support this community gave the Denison's was phenomenal but it's not over yet there's is still a rapist out there who needs to get caught. If you know anything make sure you report it to the right authorities.

My last words are to Bri. At your first candle light vigial I told your family to keep their head's up because you would come home. Well, you did.


R.I.P. Brianna Denison

Very much love.

Coffey.
