No Title

Everyone that knows me personally knows that I am the biggest Prince fan ever. I have had all of his records at one time or another in my lifetime. He's the consummate artist, overall. Now I love music period. I go thru periods where I get obsessed with certain types of music. This time last year it was salsa. I had seen the movie El Cantante and fell in the love with the music. I've always liked salsa but when I saw the movie I became obsessed with needing to know more. So of course, Hector Lavoe was my focus. So after I exhausted that I went thru other obsessions. Trust me, it would take forever to remember and to list them all. I do that. I guess you could say I'm an obsessive person. I'm always feigning for knowledge. Anyway, my current obsession is Jay-Z. Not that I haven't always been a fan because I have but see...he's coming to Texas in a couple weeks and I MUST GO THE SHOW! Now when Prince came for my birthday a few years ago, I went and it was the same thing and I know everything there is to know about him. My obsession with Jay-Z is different because I'm finding out things about him that are worth this obsession.

I'm a product of the hip hop culture. I can relate. I am an underdog. So from back before I can remember, I've been a fan. I remember my first concert was seeing Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Nobody was there, but that was ok with me. I was in heaven. From there, I've gone to countless shows and can't believe I haven't seen Jay yet. Jay to me, has brought back what I know true hip hop to be. Not because he's from New York and that's where hip hop originated, but because of the man himself. He's a rare breed. He's got everything an artist is supposed to have. He's smart about music, his flow is sick, his business acumen is crazy, and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy. Now you hear stories about him and his past dealings with people but that's never swayed my opinion of him. I've always found myself defending him or trying to explain what I think his part of the story may be. (Yeah right.) Recently I had to go back to the very beginning of his career and start at the beginning to remember why I fell in love with him in when I saw the Foxy Brown video. People talk about his swagger but he's always had that swagger if you ever paid attention. He's just a really smooth cat. It's a turn-on for a woman like me. I could completely understand why Beyonce would fall in love with someone like him. How could you not? Now I'm not going to keep writing about this man because I think by now you get it. I do love me some Jay, Jigga, Hova, all that. He's the shiznit for real.

I'm shortening this because it's 12:52AM and I'm late. I'm supposed to be getting ready to have a drink with my friend for her birthday and I'm writing. But this is me...this is what I do. I can't let my thoughts go. It's a sickness I tell ya.

Good Night and Peace!
