DYNAMITE


I had never heard of the songstress/ rapper Dynamite I happened to listen to her a couple of days ago on yahoomuisic.com and I loved her song Dy-na-mit-ee. Niomi Arleen McLean-Daley (born; 26 April 1981) and popularly known as Ms. Dynamite is a double Brit Award and three time MOBO Awards winning R&B, UK garage, and hip hop singer and rapper.

CRACK HIM UP!!!!!

Generally "crackheads" are known for fighting, or going crazy. Most are known because the get a disease but this particular gentleman appeared to have forgotten the words and was, to say the least... probably not going to sing anywhere else anytime soon. . This video is a gut buster that I have managed to watch multiple times.

THE GREATS

The roaring 20's was a fantastic. Such names as King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, and Duke Ellington were heard throughout that era in time. A rare yet intriguing song came about by Louis Armstrong entitled Wonderful world. Armstrong developed a great report with his New Orleans Jazz sound. The unconventional sound of the New Orleans jazz was thrilling and exciting in a way never known before... During that time the "white", and "negro" clubs were segragated and so was their music..until the 20's... Until the greats



Though I do not know what year she was this alone proves her greatness

MAYBE I AM!!!

Though my usual selections consist of pop artist and songs from years ago one day I would like for my words to be heard. These are my feelings, and though I have only been writing for three years I still think that it is good enough to be heard.

The instant precision
An delirious meticulousness
Has gotten me in a disarray
Ive never known
Until now I learned nothing of myself
Between to pros an a con
Im a mix breed
To infinity an beyond
Quick to answer
To take my own advice would b 2 simple
I begin 2 resemble
Myself
beyond doubt
beyond reason
beyond love
beyond hope
because sometimes they lead you nowhere at all
a distant
faint glimmer
has come in to view
now and only now that ive
gottn rid of you
I can do all things through Christ
Who strengthens me
Open parchment
Pen in hand
I practice my delivery
The Ultimate
I Am

YOU'RE KILLIN ME


Lauryn Noel Hill AKA Lauryn Hill: A Singer, an actress, a "wife", and mother. As The World Turns as Kira Johnson. In 1993, she starred in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit as Rita Louise Watson. In the film, she performed the songs "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" (a duet with Tanya Blount) and "Joyful, Joyful". It was in this role that she first came to national prominence, with Roger Ebert calling her "the girl with the big joyful voice". Her other acting work includes the play Club XII with MC Lyte, and the motion pictures King of the Hill, Have Plenty, and Restaurant. After her rise to musical stardom, she reportedly turned down roles in Charlie's Angels, The Bourne Identity, The Mexican, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.
What I really wanted to talk about was the remake of he song "Killin me softly with his song", by the fugees. It was deep enough to make me think, but delicate enough to make me rock from side to side.
"Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly... with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly... with his song"
Don't you just hate when you feel that the song was "putting you on blast?"
"I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters, and read each one aloud"
Oddly enough I understood exactly what she meant.
