Top 5 Over-Used Phrases

According to Ninja Parade these are the top over used words, and phrases

1. Kanyeshrug – Haven’t we seen enough of this? I thought this was supposed to be used if you said something that was kinda tongue-in-cheek or just plain ole assholish, the kanyeshrug become the proverbial exclamation point in 2010. I just want to return to this (!).

2. All Black Everything (or any other color u decide to wear from head to toe). *sigh* Can I get you to just color contrast ? This term is usually said in the same tone or voice projectory of #3

3. “Its Goin’ Down” .  I mean really? Could you be more specific? The same raggedy ass “all White” party that you throw all summer is really going to be better than it was last week? Nigga get the fcuk outta here with that dingy linen walkin’ suit.

4.Let’s Go (often pronounced “legg-’go”)- Usually used when one thinks they have done or said something profound or just made a really big announcement. It has the style of the Bishop Eddie Long walk -off after he told his congregation he had 4 stones and all that other shit, whilst still maintaining the lameness of a Yung Berg tweet written all over it. This should only be used if you are going to an all white party in the Hamptons that benefits breast cancer. Or if you are on 106 and Park announcing your world premier video (emphasis on “your”)

5. “So You Fancy Huh” – Just another song that encourages self professed Barbies to dance solo in the club. …..(I mean after you finish your dance with the guy with the gold plated chain). You’re not fancy. You SHOULD keep your nails and toes done. Your weave SHOULD look believable. Stop assuming just because I decided to wear my new cardigan to work that it gives you the right to say “You Fancy Huh”. No, I just wanna look nice and adhere to the company’s dress code policy. I’ma start asking fat chicks, “You Hungry Huh”

Janelle Monae - "Best Of" Charts for 2010

• Grammy Nomination
• Chicago Tribune- #1 Best Albums of 2010
• SPIN- #6 Best 40 Albums of 2010
• TIME - #2 "Tightrope" Top Songs of 2010
• Prefix- #4 Best Album Cover

and the list continues.....

Janelle Monae is getting her recognition all over the place, and she definitely deserves all of it. I really enjoyed her album, it was a sound that's hard to describe, the best advice is to listen to "The ArchAndroid" for yourself. The album is not for everybody,  if you looking for something different and you are tired of the "cookie-cutter" songs, this is for you. I hope she keeps doing her thing and keeps getting better. Her album is definitley in my Top 10 for 2010.

Wale Signs with Rick Ross' Maybach Music

Rick Ross confirmed to The Source that Wale has signed with his label Maybach Music.


Rick Ross:
“Wale is a hustler. I feel he's one record away from being the next nigga,” The Husky Don forecasted. “He's just a naturally fly nigga. Slick talking nigga. That's right up my alley. I just think that comradery, riding with Rozay, it'll mean that much more. I feel he's one record away.”


I was kinda shocked. I like Rick Ross and Wale, I just never pictured them teaming up together. I wish Wale well, just hope he doesn't change for the worst.

Kelly explaining his new album.

Kanye Tops Rolling Stones Best Albums of 2010

 
1.  Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam

With My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West made music as sprawlingly messy as his life. When he wasn't feuding with Matt Lauer or bugging out on Twitter, Kanye was building hip-hop epics, songs full of the kind of grandiose gestures that only the foolish attempt and only the wildly talented pull off. The more he piled on — string sections, Elton John piano solos, vocoder freakouts, Bon Iver cameos, King Crimson and Rick James samples — the better the music got. Never has Kanye rhymed so hilariously ("Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh?/I put the pussy in a sarcophagus") or been so insightful about his relationship-torpedoing faults. From the bracing prog-rock of "Power" to the spooky grandeur of "Runaway" to the shape-shifting "Hell of a Life," he made all other music seem dimmer and duller. Is the album dark? Sure. Twisted? Of course. But above all, it's beautiful.

7.  Drake Thank Me Later
Cash Money/Universal

9.  Eminem Recovery
Aftermath/Interscope 

19.  M.I.A. Maya

30.  Rick Ross Teflon Don
