Jay-Z's 12th album "Magna Carta Holy Grail"

On June 16, 2013, during the NBA Finals game, Jay-Z gave it's first look of the new album "Margna Carta Holy Grail" though Samsung Galaxy advertisement. It's weird why Jay-Z release it's "sneek-peek" of his new album through tech advertisement, but it sure got lot of people's attention knowing NBA Finals is a greatly watched event. Also, The album is released on July 4, 2013 but Samsung Galaxy users can get them earlier than official release date, due to it's partnership with Jay-Z and Roc Nation. Ad showed musicians and producers Jay was working with: Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, and last but not least, Rick Rubin. The advertisement gives some sniff off the song and how it's going to sound. The trend in music business is to use live instruments (i.e. Justin Timberlake, Macklemore) and seems like, his new album will have that same usage of real instruments. The titled Magna Carta is not something new, Magna Carta is Latin that can be translated to "Big Book". The name actually came from actuall "Magna Carta", which is a really big book about Devil/ Satan which was written during medieval time by a discomforted monk(Another Masonic reference, aren't we Jay? ha ha). I have a feeling that Magna Carta Holy Grail will have similar sound to Jay-Z's Black Album. It will have a bounce track(Commercialized track for radio play) but, I believe, it will have strong Rick Rubin feel to it, just like Black Album. Im not going to lie; I am excited about this album, since, last solo album was BluePrint 3.

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio...

My cellphone history

Image
I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more...

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

Image
I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does...
