“The Pink Lavalamp. My album. THE album. This album was recorded, mixed, written, produced…EVERYTHING during the worst period of my life. Ever. I was homeless, doped up, heartbroken, in love, poor, dirty, stinkin, angry, suicidal, happy, silly…but alive. And every song on there documents it all. Someone asked me to remix “Shinin,” and I was like no. “Shinin” was my suicide letter. I wrote it, recorded it, and was gonna leave it on the computer and go kill myself later that day.” -Charles Hamilton

Nas' evolution musically and style wise is just fucking perfect. He's just grown into such a classy and swanky darling gentleman. He could have gotten obnoxious when he got money, well, he did, briefly. But I guess that's part of the process. Growing past it is the important part. He's just peak after peak. Nas. Ahhh. He's such a God

Deadass! I met Lamar back when I was 15 when I started this blog, at home in NY. Now I'm 21 and living on the west coast, and we're out here eating chicken and waffles planning to go to Vegas to see Nas. How the hell?

Dos u listen to the new Kid Cudi Album what did you think?

I did, actually yesterday for the first time. Some background, I really stopped liking what KiD CuDi was doing around the time of WZRD (though I never hated on him or lost respect for him as an artist). A friend mentioned the album today and said he really liked liked it, and I said that maybe the reason it's hard for me to judge it is because I feel I don't have an ear for that type of music. Maybe I didn't understand it or give it enough attention, but I will say that I don't have a desire to go back and listen to it again. But my thing with CuDi is, no matter what he's doing or what genre he is dabbling in, I will always stand by him as a fan.
