May 28, 1967. Regular day for most people. A Sunday. But Sundays were special. Nah not just football. Not just church. The mf Ed Sullivan show. 8pm nikka. This night though, Ed had something planned. Some real shyt. fukk a Elvis. fukk the Beatles. We off that:camby: Let's see what they got...

Another religious thread :blessed: I typically choose against participating in religious threads because of the trauma I've endured through it. I am a former minister of 10 years after all. But I wanted to share my thoughts. All this talk of purpose through god and what not. Many Christians...

Timeless meaning a classic. Played for generations to come. Legendary. MJ, Prince, Marvin, Stevie, Luther, Whitney type shyt. Pac, Hov, BIG, Nas type shyt. Be honest. When is the last time you heard a song from any of these new nikkas and said "this song will be played for lifetimes"? My intent...

I always remember the things that stumped me as a father with my 2 boys ages 5 & 4. I can recall these nikkas going days without eating because they didn't like what we cooked for them. Potty training. Bed wetting. Usual kid shyt right. Here's what we're currently dealing with now: Nail/finger...

Here's the scenario: You get into some legal trouble and you're looking at doing some serious time in prison. They send you the court date and details and your wife recognizes the judge who will be presiding over your case. They went to high school together. She tells you she's gonna try to...

You could argue that those 3 are most talented individuals in modern music history including Stevie Wonder. Mj & Prince both born in 1958 and Whitney in 1963. All hit their musical primes in the 80s. Each one dominated the charts, albums sales, singles, live shows, tours. Icons. Each one had no...

As kids, we go to school for 8hrs, learning few things of substance. Nothing of practicality. The government slowly removed classes that we could benefit from in life when I was in school : Home Economics, Autobody, Etc. Classes that taught you the foundations of skilled labor. Cars...

One of the few people in music that I consider a God. The pure, raw talent. The swagger. The voice. The dancing. Most importantly, the mind. He just had something other legendary artist of his day didn't have. He was competitive and a perfectionist. Now I'm sure a lot of big time artist were...

This is my list of the top 50 greatest vocalist of all time. List is completely subjective. My personal opinion. There is a slight formula used here. I take into consideration: vocal prowess, emotion, depth, versatility, tone, control, power, range, melismatic ability(riffs & runs) uniqueness...

I got a family to support. It's not my first time drinking at work. I don't do it often. Only on days where I can't get certain thoughts out my head. It impedes my productivity at work. Alchohol helps me feel nothing. Helps my mind be somewhat blank. I over indulged and had too much. Assistant...

It's been a while since I last interacted in this space. My last post was heavy. I was burdened. I still am. Life is what you dare to make it and I'm trying every day like millions of others to make something presentable and respectable out of myself. I received 6 PMs from concerned posters...

Few days ago, I posted a thread asking for some recommendations of places to hit up when I flew to NY this weekend. This was a family vacation. I posted a thread last year about the ills of taking toddlers on extended trips...

Anyone who follows my posts from time to time, knows I do R&B music. I consider myself very talented. I know for a fact I'm more talented than maybe 80% of current R&B acts out today. I just made some unfortunate mistakes in my life that prevented me from pursuing that dream. I fukked up. From...

I made this record and I wanted to drop it here and get some feedback. It's R&B. The type of R&B I like. Not this modern stuff we here today. Ya'll be honest with me :sadcam: Edit - my shyt went from 5 plays to 105 since I made this thread. Good looking out yall :salute: So the main critique...
