THROWBACK: Kid Cudi - "The Prayer" (2008)

 
 

"My heart thump, not from being nervous, sometimes I'm thinking god made me special here on purpose, so all the while 'till I'm gone, make my words important so, if I slip away, if I die today, the last thing you remember won't be about some apple bottom jeans, with the boots, with the fur, baby how I dream of being free since my birth, cursed but the demons I confronted would disperse, have you ever heard of some shit so real? Beyond from the heart, from the soul you can feel?" - Kid Cudi

'Dear John' knocks 'Avatar' off the #1 spot



I saw Dear John on the day it came out and I'm not lying when I say that it was one of the best romantic movies I've seen in a while. Realizing that the story line was based off a book by Nicholas Sparks' (the same author as The Notebook), I got the feeling I was in for a good movie.

Review continues under "Let's Go..."

Grieves - "Smile For The Blade"



"I've heard that I don't know the words that come out of my songs, like I was gone when I wrote it and didn't see the pens inside of my palms, are you kidding? I understand that you have an opinion, but it's ludicrous, to think I'm simulatin' what I'm living." - Grieves


Lil Wayne - "Girls On Girl"



Not pertaining to the song...this picture from Lil Wayne's cover on the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine made me laugh when I first saw it with him dropping the B...Haha soowooop! ;)
