Song(s) of the Day #101

I REALLY dislike making two songs my song of the day lately, BUT I don't feeling like making a long post. My two favorite (and arguably the two best songs) off Nicki Minaj's sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Which for me is a bit of a let down, but a bit more on that for another time.

Nicki Minaj feat. Drake, Young Jeezy and Nas- "Champion" from Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded

Nicki Minaj- "Starships" from Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded

"I saw my first two million dollars, I was 23
I'm barely a man, yet, I had some killers under me
This ain't rated PG, this rated PJ
Cause that's where a nigga from murder on replay
My 24th b-day, I'm sailing to Bermuda, you can see me on a yacht
Blasting Pac, little not, I ain't greedy
I'm back to thugging, bitches
Back to making them kiss other bitches
My man sister like me, I don't fuck my brother sister
I just aspire and desire to be different
My ten year old plan is just one year to finish
My list looks like this, first thing that you'll discover
The difference in pussy, white, Black, Latin and other
Here's a man who clearly isn't basic
Loud laughter, while writing my next chapter: Fast Cash Life
Happily ever after
Champions"

Song of the Day #100

Been playing a TON on NBA 2K12 and I've known about CyHi Da Prynce for a couple years now and always liked him. Sick beat too as well.

CyHi Da Prynce- "Sideways (2K Remix)" from NBA 2K12 Soundtrack

Fat Jesus' WWE WrestleMania 28 Predictions

Ahhh Wrestlemania. The biggest show on WWE's calendar. Where they bring out the big guns and big matches. 90% of the time there's gonna be at least 1 good match, 1great match, and 1 masterpiece of a match on each card. This year though there's 4 matches that could break the greatness to masterpiece ceiling. I'm not going to go into huge detail with this. Just gonna jot down some thoughts on the wrestlers and my predictions on who is going to win each match.

WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo vs Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd vs. The Usos in a  Tag Team Triple Threat Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship

Except for this match. Save for Tyson who is fantastic and Gabriel who is solid, I don't care about this match. And neither does WWE since they put it as a WWE.com match 30 minutes before the actual show starts.

Winner: Epico & Primo

Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos vs. Divas Champion Beth Phoenix & Eve in a Divas Tag Team Match

As much as I love Beth Phoenix, the best active Diva on the roster, this is going to be a shit match. Ala WM24, 25, 26, 27, and I can safely say all Wrestlemania's until Divas matter in the WWE.

Winner: Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos

Randy Orton vs. Kane in a Singles Match

Another match that I don't care about, but Orton has been solid the past year and both hi mand Kane are hard workers. it's not going to be a memorable match. But I think it will be solid enough and will keep my attention while it's on.

Winner: Randy Orton

Team Teddy (Booker T, The Great Khali, R-Truth, Santino (United States Champion), Kofi Kingston and Zack Ryder) vs. Team Johnny (Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre, David Otunga, Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler and The Miz)

Winning Team's Manager Becomes GM of Both Raw and Smackdown

Ahhh if this were the Money in the Bank match and half these jobbers weren't here I'd be excited. But this is clearly just a match to show off talent and hit finishers. I could care less who runs both shows, I want a decent match. I think this is just a way to get Johnny off screen, for whatever reason. Better talent of team Johnny though unfortunately.

Winner: Team Teddy

Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show in a Singles Match for the Intercontinental Championship

I love Cody. I've always liked The Big Show. WHEN he has a godly size opponent that can slow it down with him, ala Kane or Mark Henry. I loved Cody's promos heading into the match, tearing down Show's past  Wrestlemania blunder, but it makes me think he'll get his "time" tonight.

Winner: The Big Show

World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus in a Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship

The two men who were supposed to meet in a United States Championship match last year, that got bumped, now are both competing for the world title in one of the main events of Wrestlemaina. Bryan is probably one of the top 10 pure wrestlers of the last 10 years and Sheamus is one of the best big man/brawler/technician's in the WWE. This could be a VERY nice match.

Winner:  World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan

WWE Champion CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho in a Single Match for the WWE Championship

Easily the best wrestler from last year, with easily one of the best wrestler of all time. Both phenomenal in the ring. Both epic on the mic. Give them 30 minutes and it will steal the now. Enough said.

Winner: WWE Champion, CM Punk

The Undertaker vs. Triple H in a Hell in a Cell Match with special referee Shawn Michaels

The dubbed End of an Era match. The Undertaker and Shawn Michael Michaels and Undertaker and Triple H match last year have been the highlights each year. Now they've caged the two from last year and added the man that propelled Undertakers WM legend even higher. Obviously Taker wins, but if this is on par with the past three years, then it will be a nice match.

Winner: The Undertaker

John Cena vs. The Rock in a Singles Match

The match a year in the making a pertty much promo only feud up till now. and Cena has come out on top with his. Stepping up night in and out. The Rock's were good but lacked. Give them time and it'll be a decent little match. Not main event of WM worthy, at least I'm not expecting it to be. Also they'll have three matches over the next year I'd assume.

Winner: John Cena

Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos

Song of the Day #99

I remember listening to this just before the release TBP3. Thought it was the weaker of the two Kanye features on the album. Now I adore this simple little song. Short, to the point, and I can just pop it on if I need to calm down some. "And I made myself so easy to love."

Jay-Z feat. Kanye West- "Hate" from The Blueprint 3

"[Kanye West]

How much they hate it? very!

Kiss girls like Katy Perry

I am never sprung, but I Spring 'er, Jerry

Don’t try this at home: results may vary

King like T.I., but in the Chi, Larry...

[Jay-Z]

Hoover, Hova

Both are American Gangsters

You choose who's colder

Rappers get nasty in the booth but I'm grosser

I can’t even stomach myself, ulcer!

More realer cause I’m closer

Had girlies in girdles weighing more than they supposed to

Poser, no sir

My hustle, so Russell

I stretch work, yoga

You know I got it down, dog

Al Roker, I used to knock pounds off

It ain’t nothing for me to knock some nouns off

At these MC’s praying for my downfall

They just haters, I wave at you

I’m so player

I’ll never be done, I’m so rare

[Kanye West]

We killing the game, it's not fair

You muthafuckers stay right there

Cause we too high up in the air

We blasting off just like a laser

Nigga, pee-une, pee-une, pee-une

Get back, gimme room room room

DB9 like vroom, vroom, vroom

Young Hov, what we doin, doin, doin?

[Jay-Z]

We ballin', bitches

Eating ya'll food leaving dishes

Why these niggas always talking Lear talk, 'Ye?

Why I never see em at the Clearport, 'Ye?

Why always hear they at the airport?

While I fly daily like I’m in the Air Force?

Therefore, please stop talking my ears off

Millionaire talk

You haters, you mad at me cause your paper

Need to get its motherfucking weight up

Hold up

Wait up, I ain’t done

Name one thing I ain’t done

It hurts when you say that I ain't the one

You haters

How do I gain your favor

I need to know cause I care

I need you to love me, I swear, look here!

See 'Ye is running the Chi like Gale Sayers

I'm running New York, I got the mayor on my pager

You can’t fade us, you haters

I need you, stay there

I breathe you like air

Yeah-yuh, yeah-yeah-yeah yeah-yuh"

Song of the Day #98

Took me a couple of listens, but now I'm huge into J. Cole's freshman album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. The beats are amazing, the lyrics are good, and everything just sounds good. Hell this song is a bonus track.

J. Cole- "Nothing Lasts Forever" from Cole World: The Sideline Story

"[Hook x2]

I tried, you tried, we tried

All of the times that we had together

We should have known nothing last forever

(Can't say we didn't try tho, can't say we didn't try)

[Verse 1: J. Cole]

When this shit end, man it's gon get ugly

Real real ugly, your grandmama love me

And your mama love me, little sister hugs me

Even got a few homegirls that wanna fuck me

Soon as this shit end, forget about it

You been stayin' in my crib, you gotta get up out it

Cause if you layin' in my bed, let's admit about it

One time fuckin' and we no longer upset about it

Cause when this shit ends it's either all or nothin'

I thought you loved me, how the hell you gon call ya cousin?

You know the diesel ass, half slow, evil ass

Nigga in that Honda showin' up with that drama

On my mama, we been through it all

From the goods to the bads, rise to the fall

You done seen me at my best, seen me at my worst

So when this shit ends, know it's gon hurt

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2: J. Cole]

They say we won't last

I know you suspicious, but you don't ask

And I don't tell, that's where we both fell

A good nigga gone bad

Good chick, alone, mad as fuck, she done had enough

I be, out here tryna raise my status up

But success bring bitches, and they bad as fuck

Ass fat as fuck, with a little ol' waist

I ain't want the whole meal, just a little ol' taste

Should have looked both ways fore I crossed you

I guess I never thought I could have ever have lost you

Now I'm out stuntin' with this bitch, who ain't about nothin'

While some nigga learnin' all the shit I taught you

Damn, guess you deserve that, a new start

But deep down you know we grew apart

Long before I broke your heart, if I lost your respect

I'm just hopin' you don't look at me as you somethin' you regret

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3: J. Cole]

I got your message I been meanin' to respond, know it's been awhile

Apologies, I ain't been around

I wanna kick it, but I know that shit is different now

And times have changed

Let me know if I'm out of bounds, are the lines the same ?

I mean ya, lookin' good, yeah you still got it

Been reminiscin' and I'm not sure how I feel about it

Now we can say that all good things come to an end

But we know each other way too well to pretend

We went from friends to somethin' much more

To breakin' up to makin' up and fuckin' once more

Second chances, we gave enough to finally

We gave it up, but some days I be wakin' up and wantin' one more

But what for ? maybe it's just the weather

We break each others heart's, so maybe it's for the better

Holler whenever, cause you always got a friend in me

And nothin' lasts forever, least we got these memories

[Hook x2]"

Song of the Day #97

Still remember the first time I listened to this astounding track. The lovely piano, the smooth voice of Cudi, the amazing chorus and MGMT/Ratatat accompanying? Perfect.

Kid Cudi feat. MGMT & Ratatat- "Pursuit of Happiness" from Man on the Moon: The End of Day

"[VERSE 1:]

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit

Feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night.

I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin’ my thing

Rollin the Midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams

People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out "Fuck that"

Imma do just what I want lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back

if I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest

if I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets

[CHORUS]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.

[x2]

[VERSE 2:]

Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’

you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’

tell me what you know about them night terrors every night

5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies

tell me what you know about dreams, dreams

tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’

you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow

rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow

[CHORUS:]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good

[x2]

[Guitar Solo]

[CHORUS:]

I'm on the pursuit of happiness.

I know everything that shines ain't always gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good

I'm on the pursuit of happiness

And I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold, hey

I'll be fine once I get it, yeah

I'll be good

Pursuit of happiness, yeah

I don’t get it, I’ll be good"

Song of the Day #96

Popped on the radio as I was driving earlier. Fantastic song, great pace, nice chords/piano and an awesome chorus.

Blink-182- "Adam's Song" from Enema of the State

"I never thought I'd die alone

I laughed the loudest who'd have known?

I trace the cord back to the wall

No wonder it was never plugged in at all

I took my time, I hurried up

The choice was mine I didn't think enough

I'm too depressed to go on

You'll be sorry when I'm gone

[Chorus:]

I never conquered, rarely came

16 just held such better days

Days when I still felt alive

We couldn't wait to get outside

The world was wide, too late to try

The tour was over we'd survived

I couldn't wait till I got home

To pass the time in my room alone

I never thought I'd die alone

Another six months I'll be unknown

Give all my things to all my friends

You'll never step foot in my room again

You'll close it off, board it up

Remember the time that I spilled the cup

Of apple juice in the hall

Please tell mom this is not her fault

[Chorus:]

I never conquered, rarely came

16 just held such better days

Days when I still felt alive

We couldn't wait to get outside

The world was wide, too late to try

The tour was over we'd survived

I couldn't wait till I got home

To pass the time in my room alone

I never conquered, rarely came

But tomorrow holds such better days

Days when I can still feel alive

When I can't wait to get outside

The world is wide, the time goes by

The tour is over, I've survived

I can't wait till I get home

To pass the time in my room alone"
