Supa Dupa Lemonade

"I am superbad/Your probably doodlin my dick"

I fuckin love this guy lol. Some people aren't that impressed with him but to me he perfectly matches laid back swag with effective punchlines. He reminds me of a younger Kanye mixed with a southern rapper. The instrumental from Gucci Mane's (ugh) song Lemonade matches Big Sean's style perfectly and if u ask me woulda been better if Big Sean was on the original or if it was his song period. The freestyle is full of clever little quotables so I'm sure you'll find yourself smirking at least once lol. Definitely on my top 10 list of most anticipated albums dropping this year. Since we're on the subject here's my top 10 list for 2010.

1. Lasers - Lupe Fiasco
2. Kanye West's next album
3. Thank Me Later - Drake
4. Cudder: The Revolution of Evolotion - Kid Cudi
5. Instant Gratification - N.E.R.D.
6. Relapse 2 - Eminem
7. Finally Famous - Big Sean
8. The Adventures of Bobby Ray - B.o.B.
9. T.I.'s next album
10. Thug Motivation 103 - Young Jeezy and Plastic Beach - Gorillaz (tie)

what about you guys? Till next post, Rock on from Krypton

Waves Of Change

Wass good blogger world? Been a little bit since I've actually written a blog that's actually been a legit update on my own life. Mostly because I don't find my life to be interesting enough to blog about on a daily basis lol. But lately things have been moving forward in my life hopefully for the better. During the break I took a lot of time to recharge my batteries because fall semester practically drained me of all of my energy and I just wanted to say fuck doing anything for the break I'm just gonna sleep it away lol. During the break aside from hangin out with friends and getting back some of my social life, I got involved on some really cool projects. One being a photoshoot for my good friend Wale's up and coming clothing line, Connoissuers. A behind the scenes video can be seen below:



And besides that my acting life just beginning as I'm gonna be in a play produced by a family friend which begins official production next year and other acting gigs in the near future that you be on the look out for. I recently came to the conclusion that even though school is important, I feel as though I've learned less than I've paid for and that right now I should just be focusing on working, networking and trying to hone my craft as an actor. I may go back to school one day, may not, only time can tell that but for now I'm ready to get out there and chase my dream of Hollywood. Also recently I've strengthened my relationship with God and I really feel at ease with a lot of things that used to bother me alot which makes it easier for me to progress in life now. I'm over my ex (most of u will remember me talking about her in previous posts) and I'm ready to mingle. As my 2010 anthem goes "On to the Next one". Besides that life's been pretty normal lately so i'll end my update here. I'll be sure to post updates like this in the future when things come up or begin to change again. Till then, Rock on from Krypton.

Follows of my blog UNITE!

http://www.mediafire.com/?ywwfnzmmq1o

So I'm definitely late as all hell with posting this link but better late then never! This is a very close friend of mine's (practically my brother) first offical EP. Gov' name's Zachary Thomas but when he's behind the boards he goes by Zig-Zag. I'm gonna tell u first hand that this is a great instumental album and I'm not just saying that because he's my boy eiter. His style is very similar to the likes of Nujabes and 9th Wonder (definitely Nujabes on this particular project) and samples a lot of Bossa Nova and old Soul tracks in his beats. He's worked with a few DMV up-and-comers and i think that this is only the beginning to a grand ascension into the production game. Please download the album, give it a listen and pass it on to friends. You can contact him on facebook as Zachary Thomas, myspace (www.myspace.com/getembois) or on twitter as (TheRealZigZag). Thanks for the time. Rock on from Krypton

Break Free

"Break free my lady...come live here with me, if inside serves me right then it's time that you're by my side"

I'm currently in love with this song. Most of you probably know Matthew Santos as the guy who's collaborated with Lupe Fiasco on several songs (most notably Superstar) but don't know much about him outside of that. Well as an artist he's very different than he is in his guest vocals on Lupe's songs. He's much more acoustic/soul driven rather than pop-star. It's no secret that the guy has an amazing voice but it's song like this that perfectly showcase that. It's one of those songs that when I close my eyes I imagine sitting outside watching the world with a special someone...but enough of me being a hopeless romantic lol. Definitely check out the song and if you want to hear more of his music definitely check out his Burning Ship of Fools EP which is available for download. Rock on from Krypton

Freedom/Million Dollars

First video in my music video post if for "Million Dollars" by Big Sean. This track came out a while back on his first Finally Famous mixtape so its a bit of an oldie but I'm glad it was made into a video because it's one of my favorite tracks of his and I think it came out at a really good time in a period where a lot of things seem kind of desolate and bleak. The song's really uplifting and the video does a good job of capturing the feeling of the song through different characters and their lives. Definitely check this out and if you want more Big Sean check out his mixtapes Finally Famous Vol 1 and UKNOWBIGSEAN.

This next video is for the first track off of the Clipse' new album Till The Casket Drops called "Freedom". Probably the most emotional and revealing track that Clipse has ever released it's only right that they don't do anything over the top with the video and let you focus more on they're emotion and the lyrics. The video is nothing special by it's self but with the song it just works. I personally hope they make videos for either "Champion" or "Footsteps" cuz those are two of my favorite tracks off of the album. Definitely check it out if you haven't already.

The last video is for "Let There Be Drums" off of RJD2's most recent album The Colossus. This video is so fuckin weird and random and i love it lol. If you're a fan of RJD2 then you know that he always has some really eccentric videos and this one is definitely no different. Check it out if you need a good laugh lol. Also be sure to check out his new album which he's currently streaming on his myspace www.myspace.com/rjd2. Till next time, Rock on from Krypton

Me & The Devil

Live My Life Alone

Heard this song a while back and stopped listening to it till recently and I'd completely forgotten how much I love this song. In this song T.I. channels his inner rocker and the result is much more impactful than almost all of Lil Wayne's rock stuff. The song has a real grunge-metal feel to it with it's dark synths and heavy bass serving as the backdrop for T.I.'s almost Kurt Cobain-esque vocals. The lyrics in this song are really powerful portraying a man's bleak outlook on life as his relationship is slowly dying and with the almost villian-like way that T.I. sings the song you can tell that he was drawing from a personal experience. What also adds to the impact of this song is the fact that this this song pretty much came out of nowhere. I'm pretty sure T.I. himself never thought he'd be making a legit rock song in his life so you know that it must've been a pretty dark event to push him to release this song. I can appreciate this song more on repeated listens then most of Wayne's rock songs for the simple fact that I feel like T.I. isn't just doing this just to do it, this was like his 808s & Heartbreak moment and he's gonna keep it moving from there. What do you guys think of the song? Hit me up with some feedback. Rock on from Kryton

Vitamin Strings Quartet

So i was watching some solos from this season of So You Think You Can Dance and i remembered this song from Legacy's final solo on the show. Flashing Lights is one of my all time favorite Kanye West songs and Vitamin Strings Quartet stripped it down and turned it into a song that you could listen to at an upscale dinner party lol. I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye heard this and that was what decided to put a string section in his band for this song during his live performances. You should definitely check out more of their videos on youtube because they've done a lot of covers. Rock on from Krypton

Kalimba Beatbox

(blogspot's being weird so i can't post the videos only the links)

So if you like me you had absolutely no clue what a Kalimba is when u see the name of this video. I thought it was just some guy named Kalimba beatboxing so i was gonna ignore it when my little bro sent it to me but I'm glad I didn't cuz this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I don't know how this guy can do this stuff but its freakin amazing. u should definitely check it out! Rock on from Krypton.

On Fire

So Wayne's second video in his Rebirth series premiered today and it's for "On Fire". Now I personally like this song because it's a good mix of rap and rock so it doesn't make it seem like Wayne is trying too hard. Honestly the video is nothing special and it's kinda random if you ask me lol. I do like the performance shots and some of the lil visual things they do are cool but overall it's nothing that'll make me wanna re-watch it several times. Now that I think about it none of Wayne's videos are that spectacular to me. Maybe because Kanye's set my video bar ridiculously high lol. I really wanna see a video of Wayne actually playing the guitar because if he can really play i'd have much more respect for his whole rockstar crossover. Apparantly his next video is gonna be for "Drop The World" feat Eminem and I'm definitely looking forward to that one. What do you guys think of the video? I'd love to hear your feedback. Till next time, Rock on from Krypton.

"When you're lost, you're willing to believe anything..."

Now I know what you and probably most of the people who say this trailer when it debuted a while back are thinking. This is just some Watchmen/Sin City knock off. When I first saw this trailer early last year I thought the same thing but I was still intruiged enough to want to see it. Unfortunately for me it was never released in the US (if it was it was only in select theaters and got on press) and only came out in the UK. So I waited a while and then finally when a DVD quality version surfaced, I downloaded it and put it on my PS3. I'd been wanting to watch it but due to a mix of hectic scheduling and overall laziness I never got around to sitting down to watch it. But today I finally sat down and watched it all the way through and I'm very glad that I did. I'm gonna warn you up front, if you're expecting this movie to be a kind of action/superhero type movie then I suggest you don't even waist your time because this is far from that. The few moments that there is any action are pretty cool but nothing revolutionary, it's the psychological aspect of the film that makes it special. First thing that I'll point out about the film is that it's very well shot. The backgroud for "Meanwhile City" is very captivating and kind of reminds me of something out of Pan's Labrynith or the second Hell Boy movie. It's very hard to believe that this was all crafted by a man who'd never directed a full length feature before. Another great thing about the film are the characters. Each character is 3-D so you get to really delve into who they are as people. Though you don't get a whole lot of backstory on either of them you do get enough to make sense of their actions. As i stated before though it's the story that really makes this a standout film. It's very deep rooted in both religion and the human subconsciousness. I don't want to give anything away because anything I could tell you would ruin the entire movie but I will say that it has one of the best twists that I've ever seen in a movie and it's well executed as well so it doesn't come off as ridiculous (I'm lookin at you M. Night Shamaylan). Though the movie is far from perfect (there are definite amatuer mistakes that the director made) it's still one hell of a trip through the psychological aspect of humanity and I guarantee that if you sit through the movie and actually pay attention, you'll be very satisfied once the credits roll. Till next time Rock on from Krypton.

ON TO THE NEXT ONE!

Its 2010 guys and it's only fitting that the most powerful rapper in the game brings us the first new video of the year. This is gonna be my anthem for 2010. Ima go ahead and say that this has just taken the place of Run This Town as my favorite Jay-Z video of all time. It's so visually appealling and different from what anyone would've expected, plus ima sucker for Black and White videos so it had me hooked the moment it started. With me being this amped the moment 2010 starts I got a good feeling about this year. LET'S GET IT IN!!! Rock on from Kryptom
