"I don't think art is propaganda; it should be something that
liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages
people
to go further. It celebrates humanity instead of manipulating it.

Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)  



So many old school references Bionic Six , SilverHawks, Dungeons and Dragons, Thundercats, & M.A.S.K.
Also, Black Kids will be at The Loft May 1st and I am SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY, trying to get tickets.

Asher Roth can actually rap---go figure. He spits about hot girls, weed, college life, music, and just being a white kid named Asher. He worked with Oren Yoel, Don Cannon, David Appleton, Novel, Ceelo, Keri Hilson, and Chester French. It's not your homeboy's hip-hop. There aren't any references to the hood, n-words (better not be), or the trap. "Lark on my Go-Kart" is the first track and it caught me off guard---I was startled because he had a nice flow. The drum laden track sounds like old head bob hip-hop from that point I let my guard down and relaxed. I like most of the songs, especially "His Dream" & "I Love College". I'm also fond of the song "La Di Da" produced by Don Cannon, I'm not sure exactly why but I think it's pretty dope. He raps about assorted life problems. A little struggle here, some pain there, and a dash of hope for the homies. I think I like it because the chorus is catchy. "As I Em" featuring Chester French is probably my favorite. He addresses the obvious comparisons people draw between him and the only other white rapper Eminem. I really like the track with it's bluesy guitars and drums. Asher spits: "I was in seventh grade when I heard the 'Slim Shady LP'/ My Mom brought it down when I was ironing(--Irony!)/ Getting out the wrinkles, just a little kid in middle school sink my teeth in anything to think I'm cool." Jazzy Pha gives his very best Ceelo impersonation for the track "Bad Day", which isn't a bad track either I just thought his singing style was kind of funny. Mind you, looking at the album as a whole he's not talking about anything enlightening but then again who does? It's simple, straight-forward commentary on the life of your average twenty something white guy.
I give it a B.

sad isn't the word...he's just a little kid.

...this article crushed me this morning.

Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other
forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large
group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.
[Coretta Scott King]

Everybody's journey is individual.
If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy.
The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says
more about them than it does about homosexuality.
[James Baldwin]

Loving The Future of Music  

[read this article at EXAMINER.com PLEASE]
The saga continues...
Chester French's “Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance” hit the internet recently.
Thousands of people were immediately hospitalized for minor injuries because they were blown away.
LOVE THE FUTURE, an album I've been looking forward to for months drops tomorrow!
Chester French (because they are two of the greatest men to walk among us) put it on myspace today.
"Love The Future" is the official soundtrack Summer 2009.
I'm going to guide you through your listening experience because tomorrow you'll
go to your local record store, Target or Best Buy, iTunes, Rhapsody, whatever and you'll
purchase your copy of "Love The Future".

The songs I think you'll love endlessly:
Bebe Buell - goes hard. Chronicles groupie, love, orgasms. Sounds like two people bumping uglies backstage.
Time to Unwind - melodic and smooth. Sounds like friends frolicking on at the carnival after a few too many shots of yager.
Fingers - a love song to a you're lover the philanderer. Sounds like your friend who should dump is girlfriend but cant.
Beneath the Veil - a little country diddy. Sounds like John Wayne doing a set at Kanye's birthday party.
Not Over You - My favorite song.
Sleep - a lullaby for lover, dreamers, and me. <--(who gives a f*** about an oxford comma)

I wrote my first Chester French entry a year ago.
I said they reminded me of condensed version of Weezer and The Beach Boys.
This holds true. I love these guys, and the record too.
Get it when it drops.
These two demonstrate how talent and hard work equal success.
They went from two Harvard students to a full fledged musical force to be reckoned with.

REEEEEJECTED!  

I didn't get into grad school.
:(
Ah Well...Life goes on.
It feels good just to know, I've been waiting for this decision for months, six months to be exact. Now the real journey begins, do I have what it takes to make it? We'll find out. I'm rooting for the underdog. LOL
Peace&Love.
