I KNOW MANY OF YOU CAN'T STAND HIM BUT THIS BROTHA IS ALRIGHT WITH ME. AMIDST A SEA OF BLACK MILLIONAIRES....HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WASN'T AFRAID TO SAY WHAT MOST BLACKS HAVE BEEN SAYING.
ON CAMERA, NO LESS......http://www.bet.com/Music/kanye+west+goes+off.htm?wbc_purpose=Basic&WBCMODE=PresentationUnpublished
KANYE, YOU WILL FOREVER HAVE A FAN IN ME.
HARRY CONNICK JR. (I'VE CRUSHED ON YOU SINCE THE BEGINNING), HAS BEEN SUCH A SUPERHERO THROUGH THIS. WHEN THE MARSALIS BROS (AS MUCH AS I LOVE THEM) WOULDN'T GO IN,....YOU WERE LIKE,..."F-IT, THAT'S MY HOME, THOSE ARE MY HOMIES AND THEY'VE BEEN GOOD TO ME....I'M GOING IN!" IF HARRY HADN'T BROUGHT THE CNN CAMERAS IN,....THE WORLD WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN. THEY WOULD HAVE JUST CONTINUED TO BELIEVE IN FOX NEWS' OVER EMPHASIZING OF THE WHOLE "LOOTING THING!" THANKS HARRY!!!
EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY YOU SUCK AND I THINK, AFTER THE FACT,...YOU PUNKED OUT A BIT,.....MAYOR NAGIN, THANKS FOR CUSSIN' FOLKS OUT ON WWL-AM AND GIVING PROPS WHERE THEY DESERVE.
WHY IS IT THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS TO HAPPEN FOR PEOPLE TO SEE JUST HOW CORRUPT THIS COUNTRY IS? I LOVE LIVING IN THE FREE WORLD FOR ALL YOU (RIGHT WING NUTS OUT THERE) BUT THERE ARE SOME SHADY MUTHAS IN OFFICE. YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN.......

NEW ORLEANS HEARTBREAK
i have so much work to do. so much to get done before the holiday. i have been glued to the tv and internet, watching footage of all the goings on in New Orleans. i have been fighting back tears. this is a place i have never visited. i got my degree in music. my music professors were black so instead of classical, they would always school us on our rich heritage and the part that showcased jazz, it's birth and growth. i learned about jelly roll morton & scott joplin. i learned about ragtime and other early forms of jazz as we know it. it all started in New Orleans. i felt obligated to see this beautiful historic place. i wanted to see funeral processions and taste some cajun cuisine. now, it's gone.
what really hurts is to see so many of GOD's kids, our people,...in so much pain. i am doing all that i can do, along with my station and company to make some sort of difference. i still feel helpless. where are the fucking superheroes when you need them?
then, i see more footage of looting. this lady i work with (just married a lawyer who purchased her a jaguar) said, "oh jazz, isn't it just horrible?" so i said (thinking of all the people that lost EVERYTHING!), "it breaks my heart, i wouldn't know what to do or where to go" She says, "No Jazz, I think it's a shame that those people are looting like that!"
******I needed a moment to get my thoughts together *********
I realize that I must explain this with sesitivity and then I say,....
"Okay so, imagine losing EVERYTHING!!! YOU HAVE NOTHING!!! ONLY THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK, NO BATH, NO ATM CARD, NO ID, NO PHONE, KIDS CRYING, NO NOTHING! YOU HAVE NOTHING! YOU CAN'T EVEN GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE BECAUSE NOTHINGS THERE. YOU CAN'T GO TO THE BANK, EVEN IF YOU HAD MONEY IN IT BECAUSE....THERE IS NOTHING THERE!!! THE WORLD AS YOU KNOW IT DOES NOT EXIST. DEAD BODIES ARE FLOATING BY, PEOPLE SITTING ON ROOF TOPS. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU WOULDN'T LOSE IT! PEOPLE ARE NOW IN SURVIVAL MODE. YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO SURVIVE. PUT YOURSELF IN SOMEONE ELSES SHOES. THERE IS NO PLAN B FOR SHIT LIKE THIS. THE VERY PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE TO HELP (LIKE POLICE) HAVE GIVEN UP, THE MAYOR HAS EVEN ESCAPED THE CITY. OUR JIVE ASS PRESIDENT THAT YOUR PUNK ASS PUT IN OFFICE ASSURES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT HELP IS ON THE WAY. WHEN WE ALL KNOW THAT IT TOOK THE MILITARY FAR LESS TIME TO INVADE IRAQ AND DROP FOOD THAN IT'S TAKING TO HELP A SMALL CITY IN LOUISIANA TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. THINK ABOUT THE SHIT YOU SAY. IT'S SAD THAT THINGS HAVE COME TO THIS BUT HONESTLY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD DO IF YOU SAW NO WAY OUT? "
look at this footage
she said, "anyway, i just think it's a shame."
the injustice of it all, pisses me off.....check out diva's blog entry
IT'S AMAZING TO ME HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN JUST DISCONNECT. THIS ONE RACEST LADY SAID THAT THE PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS SHOULD BE LEFT THERE. AS IF THEY ARE JUST ANIMALS AND DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE HUMAN BEINGS. IT ENRAGES ME.....AND BUSH SUCKS!

I'M BACK.......AGAIN!....FOR REAL THIS TIME!
IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE MY LAST BLOG ENTRY. I FEEL LIKE A DORK, A COMPLETE SLACKER FOR LACKING ON THIS. I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I MUST DO SOME BLOG-BYS AND CATCH UP. I HAVE BEEN WORKING MY BUTT OFF. MY BOSS IS ALWAYS TELLING ME TO GO HOME AND I WORK TOO MUCH. I HAVE BECOME OBSESSED WITH THIS STATION AND IT'S SUCCESS. I DON'T KNOW WHY,...I FEEL LIKE I HAVE ALWAYS DONE ENOUGH TO GET BY .....BUT THIS IS THE THING THAT HAS ME PROVING TO MYSELF WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF. FAILURE ISN'T AN OPTION. I HATED MY LAST JOB AND GOD BLESSED ME WITH THIS ONE. I LOVE IT HERE SO IT DOESN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE WORK. HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT WAY? WEIRD, I KNOW. REALLY,....I'M NOT ON CRACK. (SMILE) ANYWAY, I MADE A VOW TO BLOG REGULARLY. IT'S GONNA TAKE ME A MINUTE TO CATCH UP ON YOUR BLOGS. FUNKDEEVA, SORRY I MISSED YOU IN THE ATL.
