In the Thicke of it.

It started friday. And it's all I've done since then. After a full 2 days to digest it in its entirety, I've come to the conclusion that my initial impression was totally on the mark. This is, through and through, the sexiest album ever. This may sound like a bold claim but, have you listened to the damn thing?? It is fantastic. And I mean sexy in the classiest sense of the word. The instrumentals and arrangement are simple and classy (with none of the booming bass or synthesizers that are regrettably all too common in R&B nowadays), resulting in music that is lush, sophisticated, and strictly adult. It is unabashedly sexual without being overtly sexual( i.e. R. Kelly), and that, is as impossible a feat as any in the horny soundscape that is R&B music. What's also great about Robin Thicke's fourth LP is that it's consistent with its sound. It knows what it wants to be. All too often artist release albums that just sound like them singing on a bunch of different producers' songs. But I really like that Thicke knows where he's going with this. Every song sounds like it's suppose to be on the album and that it's from the same artist and/or producer. It's his confidence in his musical abilities that makes this album seem so effortless. Whether it was really effortless or not for him, you can tell he was a part of every bit in the production of this album. I wasn't too big on him before but he's come to grow on me and now I just straight up like this guy. I dig what he's about. His music is soo much classier and more mature than his contemporaries. I mean with R. Kelly wanting to get you pregnant and Chris Brown wanting to transform ya(wtf is that suppose to mean anyways??), to say that those two things, class and maturity, are in short supply is an understatement. Music needs this album, I NEED THIS ALBUM. His music is exactly what i've been looking, waiting for. And in this album, he spends nearly the entirety of it in falsetto. I can't resist that, i just can't. Nothing screams sexual like an R&B singer in falsetto. An R&B singer he is, sexual this album was.

Dude is sick... too bad he ain't in the L. Mark Cuban, Mitch Kupchak, somebody please sign this guy just so he can be in the dunk contest!

I'm Feeling Lucky.

So ChromeOS was previewed today. Time will tell, but I think this is going to be huge. Judging from what I see, it'll change digital lifestyles.  I really hope Apple and Microsoft are taking notes.

GAGA?

This is pure genius.

State of the NBA Nation

I've always been a fan of the NBA ever since I could dribble a basketball (which is probably around late high school). As a naive young boy, I was taught to believe that sports are fair and that we all have to follow the rules. Over the years my trust and beliefs were torn down for flash and money. Refs rule the NBA and so does Vegas. Don't get me wrong here, usually the better team should and does win but how far does it go when it interferes with a "Cinderella" story or a team I'd like to call the 2004-2005 Houston Rockets. I'll save that for another entry. Recently Deadspin released excerpts from Tim Donaghy's now canned book. CHOKE ON THAT DAVID STERN. I hope the game can be saved from this. I guess it finally took someone to get caught for things to even be looked at and regulated.

I'll let you all take a look for yourselves. Judge not Tim Donaghy, his life had to be crushed before this could all come out, but judge David Stern who probably knew about this all along and allowed for it. But hey, maybe I can make a few bucks by betting on the games myself.

it's just...a little crush

In an effort to bring sexy back, I'm posting my list of celeb/model crushes...

Without further ado:

7.  Monica Bellucci: At 45, she's definitely a fucking cougar.  And I've had a thing for her since she was in The Matrix series.

6. Olivia Munn:  If you've ever watched the G4 channel for more than 5 minutes you're nerd like me, you love this girl.  She's co-host of G4's Attack Of The Show, a show about movies, video games, and digital media.  Rumor has it she just landed a role in Iron Man 2.

Motivation.

I'm gonna be pissed if this movie blows.
I love every thing Spike Jonze has ever touched, even his cameos on Jackass.
Anyways, I found the soundtrack tonight, and haven't listened to much of it yet, but I suspect I will like it... I would think it would be weird doing a soundtrack for a movie your ex is directing, but I guess I have a lot to learn.

Can't wait for hoops season.

Here's an old school one from '92:

i spit out my coffee reading this.

that's what she said!

lunch detention? well worth it.

Dear Kanye,

Throughout the years, you've done some ignorant shit. But I've defended time and time again. Many a times the things you did were really pretty indefensible but I always excused you because you are not only a musical, but visual genius as well. All those times you ranted on awards shows I thought that's not the coolest thing to do but oh well, it's Kanye and yea he really did deserve that award! Your boastful calms and outspokenness was refreshing to me because they came from a giant among men! What giant isn't unearthly arrogant, whether in public or private? Ali, Jordan( if you didn't think he was arrogant before, I present to you his HOF speech), HOV even. However, this Taylor Swift thing, that was just a straight DICK move. I...I can't defend you anymore man. That...just, I struggle to find words to describe the magnitude of how DUMB that shit was man. What were you thinking??! Did you really think it was going to help Beyonce?? Was it the hennessey man? Obviously it would have been outrageous if he did it anyone else but to Taylor Swift?? Like the worst person you could have ever picked to do that to. She's like America's sweetheart (and if she wasn't before, she definitely is now, 'Ye). Obviously you did not think this through when you ran your ass on that stage but the imagery you created. I'm not tryna pull out the race card here but.. I'm gonna do it. Arrogant black rapper (previously seen on the red carpet swiggin' Henney while being accompanied by Amber Rose, who, for all intents and purposes, looks like a FUCKIN' stripper and the least respected chick on the red carpet.) snatches, I repeat, snatches the mic away from innocent country/pop princess only to proclaim that, basically she was unworthy of the award she just received. Shit, son. The only worst thing you could've done was beat her a la Chris Brown. You know, I was really convinced that you had outgrown your old ways with everything that happened to you last year but I guess I was wrong, wrong like I've never been wrong before. This is not to say I am no longer a fan. You're still a genius in my eyes but damn haha. Please get some help. I'm saying this because I AM a fan. I don't want you to be the next Chris Brown. You contribute too much to music for me to want to see that happen. Lock it up 'Ye.

Who needs pyschedelics?

1. This video is triiiipy + pleasing to the eye.
2. Spike Jonze is pretty much awesome. (Can't wait for Where the Wild Things Are)
3. Yes, that's Karen O of The YeahYeahYeahs singing.
4. The shoes featured in the commercial, Adidas 1's, were/are ahead of their time...They have a fucking computer in them!

This isn't controversial at all...

Apparently this ad is suppose to shock and shake up people, give a new, more blatant perspective on the dangers of AIDS. Um..it worked. I am never having sex again, because that's just not kosher.

HOV!

Forget all that introductory b/s. I'm coming in guns a' blazing! The Blueprint 3's been leaked this week and after a day's listen I've got to say I dig it. I'll admit that when it comes to anything Jay and/or Kanye, I'm always going to be a little bias because, in short, I think they're the shit. They ran this shit! Honestly who out there is as creative, lyrically potent, and commerical successful as they are? I suppose you could make a case for Wayne but ehh, he's only been on it these past couple of years. He hasn't been going at a high level for as substantial amount of time as Jay. T.I.? psshh I think his lyrics ain't on par with nothin' Jay's ever put out. Very little wit and creativity with his raps. I don't appreciate them. Sorry, I just don't. Now that I've made that clear, back to the album. Though the album is a Jay-z album, I think it's very much Kanye's as well. He's the album's sonic architect. 7 of the 15 tracks were produced by him and if you listen to as much Kanye as I do, esp. his recent stuff, it's pretty easy to recognize which ones 'Ye had a hand in. On "Empire State of Mind", arguably the best track( not to mention Jay and Kanye's favorite track) on the album, it's classic Kanye. The soulful grandiose of chrous really gets under your skin, in the best possible way. Of course "Run This Town" is a G track. Initally Rihanna's part is a little disconcerting but after a few listens, you realize that in conjunction with the beat, it just works. And man does that beat work! They're at the top and this song is their proclaimation. Not to mention their video goes hard. Sorry, no hoes or club scenes here. A couple of other songs I dig so far are "Reminder"(produced by Timbaland, which I think is his hardest track since "Dirt Off Your Shoulder". Who knew dude could still come with it after hanging out with JT for so long?) and "Already Home" feat. Kid Cudi ( is this dude a singer or rapper??). All in all, a pretty good record. But I don't really like to make judgements too quickly on a CD. Only with time can you tell the true colors of an album. If I could, I'd probably go back and review albums a year after they've been released, after the initial react and hype has faded. Also some albums have a slow burn, need time to appreciate. But so far, The BP3 is doin' it for me.

nod ya head.

The idea for the name of this blog came from when I was shuffling through my iTunes library and 504 Boyz's timeless classic came on. Enjoy.
