Download ... Lola Maxwell "Basik Edukation"


I first heard Lola Maxwell a week or so ago when someone sent me her video to "Assembly". I was impressed. I found myself looking for more of her music. As I went through track after track, I continued to be impressed by the female emcee out of the DMV. Her new project, Basik Edukation, dropped today. I listened to a bit of it in the wee hours of the morning and continued to check it throughout the day while at work. It's dope. Lola Maxwell is a talented female emcee. scratch that ... Lola Maxwell is a TALENTED EMCEE, regardless of gender. Go ahead and download Basik Edukation now and thank me later. And to give you a taste, check out one of my favorite cuts off the project, "The Perfect Stranger". Enjoy.
"Lola Maxwell is of a kind in this new era of music. She emulates the “back in the day” hip-hop and is still distinguishable by with her own sound. Lola Maxwell is an aspiring Hip Hop artist from Washington, DC. “Hip-hop has lost its touch” Ms. Maxwell feels that through her music and with a dedicated fan base she can change that. Her lyrics target the intellectual thoughts of the masses as well as their fantasies. She doesn’t feel the need to compose raunchy lyrics and tasteless records in order to sell records or entertain. So, she releases Basik Edukation: The Mixtape¸ as her sixth studio compilation hosted by MATunes.net and Datpiff.com."

What I'm Watching ... @JUDAHontheBEAT "Choose Wisely" (Directed by Andre of ABB Video)


I caught this in the email. The video is pretty dope. I definitely enjoy the beat driven narrative. I respect the creativity. Enjoy.
"Respected and noted as one of the most recognized producers from the DC area, JUDAH releases #theART video "Choose Wisely." With an unsuspecting plot and narration done solely by beats selected from the Amber Rose Instrumentals which gathered massive popularity since its drop in January, JUDAH presents listeners with a "strange" frame for the audible visual, giving true definition to amplified artistic design in music."

#latepass “Bohemian Rap CD”


So, this joint has been out for a little while (or so it seems) and I definitely had to share it. So, I'm doing so now on a late pass. I caught one of the tracks during The Adam B Experience Podcast and immediately went over to FreeIceCream.net to download the joint. Bohemian Rap CD features five underground NYC emcees – Jake Lefco, IllSpokinn, Ryan-O’Neil, Kats and Domer. Bohemian Rap CD features samples from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to create the six tracks featured on the project. It's dope. Enjoy.

When She Speaks, You Listen: @ladyblogga "Side bitches ... smdh!"


My short writing hiatus was halted by the news of yet another greedy man, his lack of dick control and his sidebitch invading the life of an incredibly successful woman. Jesse James, the reality show 5 minute famer, biker husband of Oscar winner Sandra Bullock, ALLEGEDLY had an affair with a tattoo model by the name of Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. I say allegedly because McGee told “In Touch” Magazine that their 11month affair (with sex in the garage three times a day) started while Sandra was away filming “Blind Side” which she won her Oscar for. Ms. McGee alleges that Mr. James contacted her via MySpace (Internet cheating… I keep trying to tell y’all) and their affair then began. She claims he told her that he was separated but learned differently as she watched the Oscars and heard Sandra’s acceptance speech. So she got mad because now she learns that he is married and contacts the tabloids to blow him up.

Really Jesse James?? You are a Z-List reality show celebrity with an A-List Oscar winning wife and you are trouncing around with a blabbermouth tattoo/fetish model? And you pick a chick who can’t even keep her mouth shut? As soon as she found out you were still married, she ran to the tabloids for money. But wait, weren’t you married to a porn star? (O_o) Looks like old habits never die. The clean cut, all American women are just too much for Mr. James to handle.

With all the Oscar buzz and hype, the pre-Oscar interview is something I like to watch. I watched Sandra Bullock’s interview and I was actually impressed by some of the things she was saying. She spoke highly of her husband and soul mate. She spoke of the love they shared and what made them a special couple. I was like “Awwwwwwww” that is soooo sweet. Clearly she was on a completely different page because as she was showing love to her husband, he was showing love to someone else. If this is in fact true, she joins a list of actresses whose marriages failed after winning an Oscar. Hillary Swank, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and recently added to the bunch, Kate Winslet. What’s the matter fellas, you can’t handle a hard-working successful woman?


The ability to control one’s penis seems to be a losing battle. I can’t stress this enough fellas… If you are unhappy in your relationship/marriage… Whatever, Dammit just leave. Get the fuck on. Scat. Scoot. Whether it’s about sex, creative differences, attention or whatever, take your ungrateful ass and get to steppin’. Word. And the women, the slores that involve themselves in these situations, need to double up on their self-esteem in the morning. A married man, whether he is pursuing you or not, is off limits. Period. As a woman, you can make that call. And if he tells you he’s separated, chances are he’s not. OPEN YOUR EYES BITCHES. If you can’t come to the house, if he’s only texting you, calling you at odd hours of the night/morning, Facebook chat and Twitter convo is through the roof… Chances are he’s involved.

There are some women who feel better about themselves if they feel a man is “separated”. Bitch, that only means you are eating my leftovers that either I don’t want or does not feel wanted so… If that’s the kind of man you wish to settle for, you can have him. I applaud Sandra for her no nonsense, packin’ my shit and leave attitude. There’s nothing to talk about. She was out working her ass off for money because lord knows his Reality Show ass makes none, and he’s out slingin’ his dick… Really? We all know that men say what they have to say to get themselves out of their rut. So no conversation is better. BUH BYE.

To date, Sandra has cancelled her movie promo in Europe, which is going to cost her money, so that she can address this nonsense with her husband. That alone deserves a beatdown. Not only was this man whoring around but now he’s messing with her career and money? Over some ass? Men, I’m gonna need y’all to get it together. WORD.
