Wut Up! Wuz Hatnin!

Man! Blogger has changed since I stopped posting on the regular. Fuck it. Anyway, as you all know (if you read the blog) I have been so busy with school that I have NO TIME to keep up with all the latest in Rap and Hip Hop. However, since i HAVE been writing so many papers and exploring the countless theories that make up the field of Communications, I have surprisingly developed an even stronger passion for writing and communication in general. More specifically, corporate communication.

What the fuck am I talking about?

Im sayin that I like to write and you will see a lot more WRITTEN posts around here and I don't give a damn how you feel. So...fck you

Much Love,
One Eighteen

Haha No but seriously I have learned a whole lot this semester and I want to share that with yall (sorry, its not up to you) lol

Let me start by tellin yall exactly WHY i haven't been posting. For example, this coming Monday I have to participate in a mock trial for my journalism law class. In this mock trial I am a member of the Defense and my client is Jane Roe. I'm sure yall know how these mock trials work (from high school). Basically, I have to beat out the prosecution's argument by convincing the members of the Supreme Court that my client, Jane Roe, is completely innocent of the charges that were placed upon her. My client is being accused of breaching natural security and associating with terrorist groups. Any other person would look at this project and have less than excited views about it. But of course me being the NERD that I am, am anxious for Monday to come. I got this shit on lock. I hope the prosecution and the Supreme Court are ready for me! lol

That's not the only project I am working on. I have another group project for my Public Relations class. THAT project has to do with Image Restoration. In this project, my group and I, as members of Nestle Corporation's PR department, have to come up with a proposal/plan for the restoration of Nestle's corporate image because it has been sufficiently tainted by activist groups complaining about Nestle's business ethics. Sound boring? I am actually more excited about this project than the first one I mentioned.

For anybody that wants to talk about my ability to write PROPERLY (this is my blog and I write how I want in MY blog), I just want to say that the head of the Communications Department at NIU invited me and insisted that I join his public relations team for the upcoming semester. And he offered me 3 credit hours! You already know I hopped all over that opportunity lol and you KNOW I'm puttin that on the resume! Did I mention he read one of my papers to the whole class?! haha Scream at me!!!

Oh!!! And by the way...

MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK!!!



And this was all it took to make a difference...

Southside of Chicago stand up!!! And now the rest of the United States can celebrate with us. Congratulations Senator, EXCUSE ME, Mr. President! Man! There is nothing better than knowing that I could poke my head out my window and yell out OBAMA and the President of the United States would be able to hear me.

P.S.

I wanna give a very special shout out to a very special lady friend. I'm sure yall know who this is. Niggas blow her page up on the daily. And I don't blame em! The reason for the shoutout is that this girl always checks up on me just to see if I'm straight cuz obviously I been absent this whole semester. Its always nice to know that even tho you've never met somebody, you can still give a fuck about the person.


118 All you haters, CAN GET AT ME

Sad Face

Turns out that this is gonna be a super hard semester for me. I have two classes that I'm constantly going to be writing papers for (Corporate Communications and Journalism will do that to you lol) so I doubt I'll have the time to even keep up wit the latest in music or even blogging in general. I will try to keep posting as often as I can but right now, its not looking like I'll have a whole lot of free time this semester AT ALL. I'm sorry yall but school comes first and I'm sure all of you will agree.

118 Patience is a virtue

Back @ NIU

I am so sorry yall. I been moving in to my new room at NIU and since I got to Dekalb its been nonstop kickin it wit all my people and all that. I been EVERYWHERE around Dekalb these past three days. Its been alot of fun but I just wanted to let everybody know I'm cool and that I'm ok. I probably won't post as much as I did all summer but Ima try my best. I am around ALOT more people now and best believe they talkin about hip hop too so even tho I may not post as much, I'll definitely have even hotter and newer shit than before. Comment me, IM me, email me, do all of that.

118 Deuces!!!

Ice Cube ft Musiq Soulchild

Ice Cube's new album, Raw Footage, comes out this coming Tuesday. This song is just Ice Cube being himself. Thought provoking as always and this time he's talkin about senseless violence, pointless violence, uncalled for violence, etc... Musiq Soulchild adds a nice little hook to the track to accompany Ice Cube's straightforward flow and lyrics. How Ice Cube keeps puttin down raw ass verses like the way he does and HAS BEEN doin for years now is real fucking talent. He's a living legend and his rhymes haven't lost anything at all so I'm glad he's still doin his thing. Rap needs artists like him, he's the kind of guy that forces you to think, you gotta respect him for that. Good ass actor too lol

Maino ft Trey Songz - Hood Love

Maino's album, If Tomorrow Comes..., drops September 23rd. This is the follow-up single to his hit "Hi Hater" and he got Trey Songz on the hook so you know its worth a listen. Maino is impressing a lot of people right now, including me and this song is pretty impressive too because it shows that he can rap for the gangstas and for the females.
