Soulful Sunday: The Red Light

How many times have we been stuck at red lights watching a seemingly endless procession of cars go through a red light from the perpendicular direction as we sit there, praying to God for an end to it all? And it's always when you're in a hurry too or you're on a lunch break or you've got to make a visit to the bathroom or something. The light knows and the light just flat out doesn't care.

The absolute worst though is when nobody is fucking coming and you're just sitting there at a red light waiting like an idiot and literally watching powerless as your time is being wasted. Not just watching your time being wasted by actually standing for it. In fact, the only people that might be around are the shady figures in the background on foot that know it's a red light and you know that they know you aren't going anywhere and that since nobodies around they can pretty much do with you what they will. Of course sitting there waiting for that long screws with your mind and these things will enter your thinking. It's just beyond your control really. And don't you dare think about actually running the red light either because nobody is around. What are you insane? That would be exact moment the cops happen to roll on through or appear out of nowhere. Running the light = Insane but sitting there like an asshole = smart, logical thing to do.


Now the dirty little secret is that there are certain detectors in the traffic lights at these four ways that set off a signal when you pull up that your car has to trigger for the light to eventually give you the green or otherwise it will just assume that you nor anybody else is sitting there waiting.

Girls should be that way. There ought to be some sort of signal being given off before there's a green light and there's a 'go' signal. Lest you be sitting at the light like an idiot when nobody else is threatening your pathway and it's seemingly all clear and you have everything but permission.

Just a thought, ladies.

Soulful Sunday: The Return

This picture is pretty much life until you get married. Every relationship you have until you find that one you're going to look like Super Mario at the end of each level. And you'll go through all the crap he does and jump over other dudes heads that try and hate on you and each mushrooms and try drugs and spit fire to get the girl and even possibly lose your life in pursuit of the woman. And you'll be willing to repeat this over and over and over again until you meet the one....Sad but true.

So I was riding back from the casino a few weeks ago and one of my friends and I got to talking about why I never upload music anymore and it was a pretty good question. I know it has something to do with laziness, at least on the surface. I'm not denying that but the biggest reason I could come up with was that I was tapped on great music to upload. I'd have much rather have quality of music than quantity of music (I'm looking your way Lil Wayne). So that's the most earnest way I can tell you that if I post something up for your downloading consumption that the music will be worth the space on your harddrive/iPod. So don't just keep scrolling. Even if you're in a rush. D/L it and leave it on your desktop until you can check it out when you have time.

I'm finally back with another Soulful Sunday after a long hiatus from doing this and I have to say I miss doing it so I decided to up a mini-mixture of songs I've been listening to lately. Anytime I put together a collection of songs I have to first ask myself, would I download this and the answer this time at least a resounding yes. These are quality songs from quality artists and it's the best 30 MB that you could possibly take up from your computer's free space. Trust me.

It's starting to get warmer and I'm starting to look forward to the Fall again; My favorite season of them all by far. Fall > Spring > Summer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Winter.

And so in that order today's songs remind me of the seasons in that order due to different times in my life for various reasons.

Fall:
Nivea f/ R Kelly - Touchin'
Spring:
Carl Thomas - I Wish
Summer:
Britney Spears & Pharrell - Why Should I Be Sad (Produced by the Neptunes)

No need to throw in Winter's ass. He'll be here soon enough.

Soulful Sunday

Chick is fine.

Looks like she' was plucked out of the 'Barker Girls' back in the day on "The Price Is Right". I miss Bob Barker. He was so much better than Drew Carey. I usually hold down people from Ohio. I'm loyal that way, but I just don't feel akin to this Drew Carey fellow. Plus he's from Cleveland and well, fuck Cleveland. LOL. Therefore:

Bob Barker > Drew Carey

So random, I know but anyway it's Sunday, I got great music, I got links to where to download it and you've got Ipods that could use this and you need to step your Itunes game up and download these (scroll over the songs for the links).

More later...

By the way, when you see artists that I feature that aren't household names, y'all really need to stop sleeping. If I'm featuring them then there's a reason. I mess with quality music. No need to skip those links. In the immortal words of a great philosopher, I think his name was Homer Simpson "I don't do things half-assed, I'm using my full ass." So download all the songs, give some of the names you're not familiar with a chance. I promise I won't let you down.

Yup.

Soulful Sunday (w/ Special Commentary on Race)

Katrina taught us nothing after all.

Racial Polarization is as damning today as it was in the murky and glim aftermath of the worst natural catastrophe this country has ever witnessed.

We sat there in front of our televisions and ate all that the media fed us in picture and words and sounds in absolute horror and disbelief and with such an embarrassment that many folks had to turn the channel in a symbolic gesture akin to pushing away from the table as if we were saying we had seen and heard and had enough, as if things were going to be different from that point on.

All this madness cooked in poverty, fricasseed in incompetence, dooming geography and simmered in apathy for so long by a government that had long since stopped caring even before the Hurricane came but centered in race this story was fed to us 24 hours a day without end for the week of this Bayou tragedy and for a few months there after as if they were leftovers from the main feast just in case we hadn't had our fill of this disgusting truth concerning inequality the first go round. But somehow, someway the American body lacked the proper functioning organs to have digested all that we took in in late 2005 as once again our appetites for this kind of racial polarization rages on only this time it stares at us in the form of the inability of some in the Democratic Party (which slowly but surely is becoming the Demographic Party day to day, state to state) to accept the likely nominee and afford him all the support and political machinery that would otherwise be thrust upon him going into a sure to be hotly contested fierce upcoming general campaign.

If not race, then what major policy difference could there possibly be between two Democratic candidates whose ivy league backgrounds and stances are so similar on so many issues, that could lead many of one candidate's supporters to favor John McCain over Barack Obama in an election that could inexorably alter the fate of a generation as the balance of the Supreme Court, the future of our standing abroad and the need for new, more carefully thought out approaches to issues that we've been caught giving wrong answers to time and time again over the past decade all hang above us?

This is petty even by petty's standards. Because somebody doesn't physically look like me I won't support them and instead will toss my support behind someone whose politics doesn't look like me. Because that's what matters, fluff, not substance.

It's sad. It shows a real ignorance that damns rather than redeems at a time when redemption ought to be embraced rather than rejected.

People are moving en mass to the polls with a renewed since of vigor for the first time in a generation as politics is becoming a sport the nation has enthralled itself in. If these same new people are bringing with them the same old prejudices to the democratic process then never mind the new fervor and excitement the media purports they're bringing in I would just as much prefer they stayed apathetic towards the whole process as they were back in 2000.

Soulful Sunday

Okay so I dropped the ball a bit this week. What can I say? Birthday, Weather, I hit the wall, you pick the excuse for the week but I'mma move on, move forward and try to keep that to a minimum. Yesterday specifically, I ain't gonna lie, this was me:

LOL.

Anyway, I like my website. What can I say? Point being, if I can't keep the quality of the material high and fairly frequent I'm not putting my imprint on it. If I can't look at my website and be happy with the final product then I'm not gonna continue on. I'm not trying to be Cuba Gooding Jr. I'm not just putting out some garbage just to be doing in it. I feel like I'm Denzel. If the product I'm putting out ain't top shelf then I'd rather not even do it. So just know that it won't always be slow like last week and don't start going elsewhere for that good shit. Keep me bookmarked. Keep coming back and I'll keep pushing the envelope and going further and further out there into the abyss.

Damn man, I can't believe I'm going to be 24 in four days. That truly sucks. I feel too young to be 24. Why is it that you never feel more your current age until the week before your next birthday? It takes 51 weeks to get adjusted to your age and right when you're comfortable in it and it fits just right on you, life be like 'take this here year and go about your business pimpin.'

Wednesday's Woman: Ibis Del Mar

It's always always tough to pick which woman to feature from week to week. Always straddling that line of trying to stray from the easy and obvious choices that everybody knows about that every other website features from some Hollywood event, hanging out in places of the likes that we've never been or will never be invited to. That's pretty whatever to me and I'm a pretty whatever guy and all but that's all the more reason to exceed my own low self imposed expectations and go digging through the sea to cook up some fish that you may not have sampled before or had the pleasure of being served. So anyway this one today is quasi-famous, and I don't mean that as a slight either but in the refreshing way as in before the machine has had a chance for you to sour on them like the way they did Beyonce, Serena and the likes. Anyway her name is Ibis Del Mar of Real World/Road Rules Challenge Fame. I think I was digging her when I was a much younger man back in the olden days {i.e. like 3 maybe 4 years ago} and for some reason or another she crossed my mind as I was having a momentary bout of "WhatInTheHell" (medical term of course) and my remote was stuck on MTV for more than the standard 2 seconds. So I looked old girl up on the internet to see if she was going to be in any future MTV challenges or had anything in the works with the company and I was unsuccessful, the good news is I found pictures to show you at least that my judgment was sound from years back unlike some people *I'm looking at you Hillary* and that she's at LEAST as impressive as I found her to be back then, if not more. Also she's a graduate of UF and out in the world doing some things so she's beautiful and successful and single. Florida y'all are starting to look bad. Stop sleeping.

So accept my humblest apologies for skipping Soulful Sunday this past Sunday and accept this peace offering of Ibis and a few R&B songs from a couple of R&B mixes that I found to be particularly solid. So today is going to be a hybrid of Soulful Sunday and Wednesday's Woman. Like you really need another day, right? Seven is plenty.

Also in case you haven't noticed there is a chatbox on the right side of the screen. You might have to scroll down to see it but if you can bear the inconvenience of putting your finger through the motions to get there you might drop me a line, let me know you're breathing and ain't just lurking for the sense of lurking. I won't bite. I promise.

2001 Cincinnati Bengals NFL Draft

• Rudi Johnson
• Chad Johnson
• T.J Houshmanzadeh
• Justin Smith

Gotta be the franchise's greatest draft ever. Damn shame that one, if not two of them won't be on the field for them next year.

Oh Well.

This year they drafted:

1	9(9)	Keith Rivers	OLB	USC
	Rivers doesn't have as much potential as some of the other linebackers in this class, but he's clearly the most complete player in this year's outside linebacker class. Also, he is the kind of player a team wants in its locker room representing the organization. He doesn't have elite top-end speed and he isn't much of a playmaker, but Rivers reads his keys quickly, gets to the ball and doesn't miss open-field tackles. He's going to be better in zone coverage than in man coverage, but he isn't going to get caught out of position very often.
2	15(46)	Jerome Simpson	WR	COAST CAROLINA
	We are surprised that Simpson came off the board earlier than Limas Sweed, DeSean Jackson and Malcolm Kelly. Simpson isn't a great route runner and he played at a small school, so he faces a steeper learning curve. On the plus side, he has adequate size and the frame to get even bigger. He also has good speed, tracks the ball well and can make a spectacular catch.
3	14(77)	Pat Sims	DT	AUBURN
	The biggest knock on Sims is he tends to wear down too quickly. He has tendency to come out of his stance too high when he gets tired. He also has some problems locating the ball. However, he's quick for his size when he's fresh and he flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly.
3	34(97)	Andre Caldwell	WR	FLORIDA
	Caldwell had problems staying healthy and you would've liked to see him make more plays downfield considering his excellent speed. However, he's quick enough to get open underneath and catches the ball fairly well. He also runs hard after the catch.
4	13(112)	Anthony Collins	OT	KANSAS
	Collins has good size with the frame to get bigger. He is a developmental prospect who will have to learn to play on the right side. The Bengals add depth to the offensive line with this pick, as there are concerns about Willie Andrews and Levi Brown, who didn't play up to speed last year
5	10(145)	Jason Shirley	DT	FRESNO STATE
	This is a surprising pick because Shirley comes with serious character issues. In addition, he is raw and tends to ware down quickly. Although we see this as a reach, he does possess good size and is very quick when fresh.
6	11(177)	Corey Lynch	S	APPALACHIAN ST
	He isn't big enough to line up in the box and he doesn't have great man-to-man coverage skills. However, he is a sound tackler who fills hard in run support, makes the occasional big play on defense and will contribute on special teams.
6	41(207)	Matt Sherry	TE	VILLANOVA
	His size causes matchup problems for safeties. He can make plays downfield and has good hands, but he offers little as a blocker at this point.
7	37(244)	Angelo Craig	OLB	CINCINNATI
	He shows adequate upper-body strength, times snaps extremely well and gets a quick jump off the edge. He moves well laterally and takes sound pursuit angles to the ball. He plays with a mean streak and competes from snap to whistle. He is primarily used as a pass rusher and is going to struggle initially adjusting to the speed of the NFL level.
7	39(246)	Mario Urrutia	WR	LOUISVILLE
	He was injured as junior but still elected to come out early. He catches the ball very well and is a red zone threat. He has strong hands and surprisingly good feet for a big wideout. He has marginal top-end speed, though, and like most big receivers he struggles to separate from coverage.

I actually like the people we got. Especially the WR's and the LB. It's silly to grade anyone until you see them in an actual NFL jersey so I won't make any grades overall or anything. But watch out for them next year is all. Still haven't completely solidified that porous D but this is a start. Great weekend for my city.

Anyway, Soulful Sunday has arrived with me away from my desktop. No desktop = no music.


Check back later this week for what I owe you today.

Soulful Sunday

"As the rain and the snow come down
from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the Earth,
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seeds for the
sower and bread to the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth;
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire,
and achieve the purpose for which
I sent it."

Isaiah 55:10-11

Not to get too biblical because I don't want to offend my atheist/Non-Christian brothers and sisters but that quote was gangsta so say or do something that matters today. That's all. That's your homework for today.

Soulful Sunday A Day Early

Yeah yeah, I know Cassie ain't got nothing to do with nothing in this post but I like the picture and I like the girl. More girls should look like her. There'd be less war and more concentration on the important things in life like figuring out ways to get girls that bare a resemblance to her.

Delicious.


Anyway it's Sunday and I'm back like a spine with a few songs that should be must haves if you're even remotely a fan of R&B or have a girl or a pulse. Today's entry is heavily saturated with Conya Doss since I just picked up her newest cd that came out recently. It's entitled "Still". Pretty dope album. Cop that! I'm giving you my favorite standout songs plus another from a new comer to the scene that I just got introduced to. Anyway Download. Enjoy. Buy The Albums. Yup.

Stephan Olsson - La La La
Conya Doss - Message
Conya Doss - Come Over

Not a whole lot of talk today, just good music, check back tomorrow and we'll rap a little...

Jerome - Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer
Erykah Badu - Earth's Song

Corrine Bailey Rae - Just Like a Star

Soulful Sunday

I absolutely love this picture and it's underlying symbols

• There's Barack draped in black driving the establishment back on it's heels as represented by the white guy, lol. *
• The white guy's awkward facial expression conveying the unease deeply seeded within the establishment as Barack moves towards his goal.
• There's the basketball itself, red, white and blue in the momentary possession of Obama as he literally has it in the palm of his hands.

Powerful.

Just as the picture doesn't necessarily lead on the outcome of this play, we're left to ponder the impending resolution like Tony Soprano looking up as the screen cuts to black abruptly.

I'm proud either way.


Anyway....It's Easter. Dinner calls and I don't plan to leave him on hold for long.

Jill Scott - Crown Royal (Bonus Track)
Jill Scott - Come See Me
Roy Ayers - Gotta Find a Lover
New Birth - It's Been Such a Long Time

Enjoy.

*Note: I'm not characterizing the white guy as evil at all, just saying he fits the demographic of "the establishment". I know it's like picking low hanging fruit "to go there" but I'm gonna go ahead and run with that*

{How awesome is it that the next president of the United States of America wears Jordans?}

Soulful Sunday

When I was a kid I always looked forward to the days when Mom made breakfast for dinner. I could never explain why that was but it was. I remember very distinctly that if it wasn't a school day that I wouldn't be in any hurry to wake up early to get breakfast. I always chose the sleep over the breakfast during the summer or on the weekends or holidays which is weird when you consider how much I looked forward to bacon, eggs and sausage for dinner like it was something different than what mom made in the mornings. Breakfast is a compromise you give your body for waking up earlier than you otherwise would. Compromise is good when conflict needs to be resolved but if you actually have the choice between rest and pancakes, always always always choose the rest. You sell yourself short if you roll with the breakfast. It's like chasing women instead of chasing money. To quote Curtis Jackson 'Get Paper, They Come With The Shit'. Not suggesting I'm any sort of sexist or misogynist but he may have a point there. Money is useful to have or at least as useful as sleep may be in keeping your mind focused on attaining what you chase or work towards during the day. After all, you could get a solid 8 house of sleep and be fresh as a daisy and sharp as a tack and figure out a way to get breakfast too. use that awareness to figure out a way to get breakfast at some point in the day.

Always chose the sleep.

Unless of course it's when it's a Soulful Sunday. Choose the music. Don't sleep.

Raheem DeVaughn - Breathe
Darien Brockington- Come On Over
Vikter Duplaix - Nothing Like Your Touch
Conya Doss - Sixth of June

Soulful Sunday

The letter of the day for Soulful Sunday is "V"

The first song is from an artist who goes by that letter as his stage name (http://www.myspace.com/vsign) and to me embodies the resurgence of good neo-soul music that's been milk cartoning it for a while now, with the exception of a few holding it down one the low like Floetry, Jilly from Philly, and others I don't have the time to name so don't send me hate mail. Anyway, I been sitting on his album for a while now but it's time to stop being so damn stingy and turn cats on to the best album of '05. Dude sounds like Raheem DeVaughn to me but I don't wanna say 'better' because I'm a big DeVaughn fan but well--better. The first song is just such a seamless, perfectly constructed song. It features Jill Scott in a very small, almost cameo-style capacity that if you walk out the room for something you might miss so keep your ears peeled and don't get too lost vibing to it to miss it. I know I personally play this song (among others) at least once a day usually. I know my neighbors hate me but what are they gonna do about it? Really a brilliant piece of music it is.

Artist: V featuring Jill Scott
Song: Born Again

The next is a ballad that I like, and count me among the anti-ballad set because so many of them are cheesy and poorly executed cheesy, but this one in particular, not so much. It's surprisingly really, really well done. It's one of those songs you could see yourself end up playing at your wedding. Trust, pimpin', you'd want you wife walking down the aisle to this song. Might have you tearing up and shit though. Anyway, I wouldn't steer you wrong at all. My track record around here should be impeccable. So listen to it and see if you don't enjoy it. In fact, I dare you not like it.

Artist: V
Song: Would You Be Mine

And lastly, one more standout track from V's album The Revelation Is Now Televised, because if I don't stop and I keep sharing his tracks there won't be any left. I might fool around and leak the whole damn thing, and this place might be crawling with feds. Real uplifting song without being too "BET Sunday Morning Gospelish". I mean I luh the Lawd and the Lawd luhs me, but I'm not with that Kirk Franklin crowd, no diss to you and yours if you are. Not a slight at all, but this is just inspiring music without being too extra extra. So gone 'head and do the download thing.

Artist: V
Song: Who Would I Be

So download those songs, enjoy them, BUY HIS ALBUM, there's a few ways to do so on his myspace page from back at the top paragraph of this post where I link you to it. Either do that or go to I-Tunes and do the checkout thing. People are all liberal with their money when it's for some bull they want to buy and ball up and throw it in the corner of their rooms but when we need to be supporting something worth a damn we pirate. Damn shame.

Anyway, the second part of Soulful Sunday is from the lovely, Vanessa Marquez (http://www.myspace.com/vanessamarquez) whose the industry rarity of talent AND good looks. One of those double threats that could pose for KING Magazine & VIBE but also hold down the artist portions too. Don't sleep. Even if you try, I'm not going to let you. Resistance is futile. What I will do is throw a couple samples at you so you don't. She's worked with such household names as Justin Timberlake, Clipse and of course The Neptunes so you know that she's dope. Regardless of her old ties to Star Trek, right now she's a free agent, enormously gifted, with a set of pipes and her own style. Definitely not a cookie cutter twenty something singer. It's obvious she dances to her own drum.

The first song is a Neptunes masterpiece. It's yet another example of how easy it comes to them to be great when they apply themselves. Now I have my feelings about a lot of their music and pride myself on objectivity and being able to see nearly all sides of most issues so I can admit when they're stuff is weak as easily as I can praise them, which I do and have been doing for the past decade (yes I've been a fan of theirs for that long). I know the video that accompanies the making of this song has been well documented on message boards and websites so I'll spare you of scrolling through it one more time (search Youtube if you haven't seen it) but it's really a spectacle to see this song come together before your eyes.

Artist: Vanessa Marquez
Song: Midnight Hour

The next songs have all the playfulness of that 90's era R&B that was so popular among us 80's babies. It leaves us old timers so nostalgic for a less corporate run industry where we would watch videos on VideoSoul & The Box and sit through clever product placement and listen to the radio and didn't think that somehow our worse angels were being encouraged and we were being controlled by puppeteers to dress a certain way or subliminally lead us to coveting certain materialistic . Anyway,

Artist: Vanessa Marquez
Song: Tonite

And lastly

Artist: Vanessa Marquez
Song: I Want You To Know

As far as I know, she doesn't have any albums but you will be receiving updates from her, when I get them. Bet that.

Soulful Sunday

"Soulful Sunday" is the probably the most naturally alliterative generic gimmicky schtick a blog can have but until I come up with a better coin phrase or 15 minutes to brainstorm it'll have to do. There will be much R&B music posted, that I assure you, but Sunday is the only day I'm going to guarantee you that there will be plentiful R&B music posted. I know a lot of you are hip-hop heads and, to a large degree, I am too and so logically you'll wonder why I won't post Hip-Hop tracks and my answer is, there are a whole host of other sites that will get the Hip-Hop exclusives so much sooner than I ever possibly would or could so a word to the wise would be to visit: (NahRight) for all your Hip-Hop needs.

Now onto more pressing business....I'm reaching into the past for this lesser known/heralded song. Got that old classic, movie soundtrack build up. Great great song. Be educated and enjoy.

Artist: Al Green
Song: Something




Next couple songs are from an artist out of Ohio, very very talented young songstress that wears neo-soul better than any person I've seen on the female side since Badu & Jilly from Philly [Yeah I know Floetry deserves mention but I should stress I mean solo act]. She has a Jill influence but maintains her own lane. Her music is very smooth and the instrumentation is very complimentary to her voice. She does it right. Anyways she can sell it better than I can tell it so have a listen:


Artist: Conya Doss
Song: "Ain't Givin' Up"


Artist: Conya Doss
Song: Smile

and lastly

Artist: Conya Doss
Song: "The One"


Anyways, download, enjoy and if you like what you hear I encourage you to support the artists and come up off jacking entire albums. Buy the music. This is just a sample, you're not supposed to get high off the sample. LOL [Shouts to Fiddy!]

Enjoy.
