One of my favorite songs on the album, Kendrick continues his storytelling with the Poetic Justice video. Sherane is definitely getting around, and clearly she lives for the thrill. Lol, who doesn't mess with Drake? One time for Compton's Love Child! Kendrick Lamar feat. Drake - "Poetic Justice"
"All my liyeeiiiffee!!" *Rihanna voice* Just kidding. My sincerest apologies for the hiatus. Ironically considering that I didn't "work" for almost four months, I have been ridiculously busy! How about a quick recap of what Kimi's been dealing with lately?
1. The Vadge Site: I want to thank everyone for going so hard for me these past few months - VForVadge.com is currently at 10,976 views and counting! My little fledgling has turned into a full-blown sexual health and wellness site, just like I hoped for. I am pretty sure my readers are to blame for this - you guys are awesome. On January 1, I'll be revealing my celebration giveaways - stay tuned!
2. School's Almost Done!! They tried to sneak me with the electives - but I see the light at the tunnel - 2013 means graduation for Kimi! Yes, I'll be going on to grad school at last, but this progress makes me so happy. I'm taking one semester off to pursue my business ventures - but then it's back at it! 3. Moving!! Undisclosed locations, lol :)
4. LeVadge Shop is Up and Running My online store has been doing well, and I'm adding new products for 2013. Be sure to check it out, we've got sales running until January 1. Then the new products hit the "shelf." I can't wait for you guys to see what's up! http://shopvforvadge.com
5. Chris Wynter Music!! I am proud to say that I've been working closely with this dope artist - which you've seen featured on my blog before. Mr. Wynter's got some real fire coming out this year, and it's an honor to say I have a hand in this. I'm currently building his website and assisting in the promotional process. We've got a great talent coming up in Hip Hop. Keep your eye out for ChrisWynterMusic.com! So, as you can see my plate has been super full. I've got so many pics and thoughts to share with you guys - I can't even keep them all in my brain. Expect a lot of posts, as soon as the cable guy comes to hook up my internet. Love you guys lots!
Via ComplexMag.com "Whether the subject is hip-hop, superheroes, or sugary breakfast treats, Kendrick Lamar always keeps it real. So we asked the Compton MC to elaborate on the real-life experiences that inspired his song "Cartoon and Cereal." Please be clear: he's got this down to a science. And don't even talk to him about some old healthy, no-sugar-having, Raisin Bran type cereal. You might just get punched in the face. Nor should you even crack open the milk unless you fully comprehend the 60/40 rule. We'd better let him explain. Check this exclusive Complex video for the full scoop."
Mid-day study break :)
As I sit and enjoy a nice, cold bowl of Cap'n Crunch (with Crunch Berries, of course), I can totally relate to Kendrick's science. Personally, I hate soggy cereal so I forego the fruity pebbles unless I can eat them rather quickly. My preference is slightly-moist cereal with a crunch, therefore I gently cascade the milk over all my cereal but only fill the bowl about a quater of the way with milk. It allows me to select the wet cereal from the bottom, and rotate the dry cereal into the milk at the same time. I've got my own strategies, lol. I enjoyed some of those healthy cereals growing up, like Honey Nut Cheerios. I DID sprinkle sugar on plain Corn Flakes though. My mom wouldn't dare bring Wheeties into our home, hahaha. Cartoon wise, I would love to be Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats. Her body was incredible, plus she had brains and musical talent. Black cartoon characters were still few and far in between, so to find one who possessed all those great traits - why wouldn't I want to be her?
Anyway, back to studying I go. Just a random thought with a great artist. Shoutout to Kendrick for bringing me back to my childhood today :)
Respect to a fellow New York native, I heard of DZ through a mutual friend - he's definitely blazing a trail through the Miami Hip Hop scene. I've been following this cat on Twitter for a minute now, but recently decided to re-visit his musical archives. He's got some fire!
Right now I'm really diggin his new single, Turn Up; Produced by Rocky Da Champ, it's one of those bangers you'd get rowdy to in the club with your friends. Might even be a fight song, lol *throws elbows* DZ the Rapper - "Turn Up" ((Audio)):
Check out the behind the scenes production footage:
I'm really loving his remix to WuTang's "Ice Cream," since that's one of my all time favorite beats. Peep some familiar Miami streets in the background...
He's definitely one of my artists to look out for; dope lyrics, good production and fly kick game. Pay attention, people! VNG ENT. PRESENTS:

One of my favorite video directors, "Director X" (AKA Little X) created another visual classic with this one. I love scenic videos, and the view in Anguilla is amazing. Whoever styled Mr. Rozay did an excellent job - size conscious and casual high fashion at the same time. Slight cameo of "diced pineapples' and Ciroc - I think Ross was regarding large canary diamonds, lol Love it... This video really reminded me that I'm due for a vacation...
Beautiful View in Anguilla...
