Genius is his name.

Very mysterious...

Unexplained Phenomenon: A Mystery Created by Google?
Did Google create the Google UFO doodle in response to the popularity of the search term “unexplained phenomenon” or is Google purposely driving traffic to the topic?

Unexplained Phenomenon: Google Images and Google Logo Point to the Paranormal
One unexplained phenomenon is that Google images and the Google logo are more popular today than mainstream news. With everything going on in the world, people feel unexplained phenomenons are more interesting. Here’s the top 10 unexplained phenomena…

9.1 … Mr. Mescudi

MAKE HER SAY – ft. Kanye West & Common — I kinda, sorta, pretty much love this video. A for simplicity.

INTERVIEW w/ Angie Martinez @ HOT 97 — Peep the 2:50 mark…pretty swaggerrific if you ask me.

August 25th, Man On The Moon … Looking forward to it.

9.0 … Michael Jackson

While I’ve been slacking in my posts I feel it only appropriate I address the one major piece of many major pieces of news that occurred within the last few weeks.

The passing of Michael Joseph Jackson – 1958-2009

Michael created the sound of a generation. There would be no Britney, Justin, Ne-Yo, Chris, Beyonce, Ciara, Christina, Usher, Mariah, R. Kelly, etc. if it were not for the musical creativity that flowed from Michael Jackson. $750,000+ albums sold. 13 Grammys. 13 number one singles. More musical achievements than any other artist. He truly was the Greatest entertainer that ever lived. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

8.9 … My Painter Friend, Shawn.

Now, I may be singer (hate that term by the way…) and I may not know as much as I would like to know about fine art but what I do know is that when you like something you see it must be shared. I don’t know what it is about Shawn Lindsay‘s work but it’s rare that I don’t like a piece. Maybe it’s the vibrancy in color, the subject matter, or simply the fact that because I have a sense of his personality his work just makes complete sense. I’ve only known Shawn for a very short, yet long time. While I’m sure that doesn’t make much sense, in the time that I have known him, it’s been a pleasure. I can not wait to walk into a gallery one day and see his work with a “Sold” sign on it.

-Just watch him.

8.8 … Short Film / Onedreamrush / 42 Below Vodka / China

8.7 … Mission G

“Sure, they can dress up for dance recitals,prom and other events, but I’ll be sure to warn them that outward superficialities like glitter and makeup will not compensate for any deeper flaws some women try to hide.”

8.5 … Definitely Def Poetry

By far my favorite. She couldn’t have said it any better:

“If our ancestors can walk barefoot afraid in the dark for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles, I know we can do this. Come on, let’s start.”

She’s inspiring:

I have no words:

Mixed feelings but you can’t deny the early days of the swag:

I don’t know why he performs verses but he is a good performer, so points for that.

Love YouTube because you never know what you’ll find. I know this guy!:

And to think, this was 5 years ago…

How Come she is beyond on point!:

8.4 … Nas & Damian Marley – Distant Relatives

I’ve never been a big Nas fan but this actually sparks my fancy. I shall be checking for this.
