Product of November

I am so proud to be a product of November. In my opinion, it's the greatest month of the entire year. ESPECIALLY, this year! Brought it in a great way, and it's only gonna get better!

In about 2 days, Lil Wayne will be released from jail after an 8 month sentence. I wasn't a huge Weezy fan until I heard "The Carter 3" and I have to say, I missed out on some shit. Now, he's responsible for 2 of the biggest names in hip-hop (Nicki Minaj and Drake) and the biggest hip-hop "movement" since Wu Tang (Young Money). He went in prepared I must say, shoot about 15 videos before going in, having them released throughout the time he was away...GENIUS. No on even noticed he was really gone! Needless to say, I will be celebrating his release with a party. Saturday, the "Free Weezy" party will be in full effect.

In 8 days, I will be 21. I'm super-excited, not only to be of legal drinking age, but mostly because I made it almost a full year with a clear and logical mindset (obviously disregarding a couple previous posts haha). Last year on my birthday (at my birthday party, to be exact) I made the decision that thinking, acting, and reacting with logic was the best way to live. I avoided a ton of drama, had some of the best times of my entire life...and it all culminates to this. 21...seems like yesterday when my big sis turned 21, I was crashing someone elses party for my 18th birthday (and Josh was screaming at my girlfriend at the time...PRICELESS moment!). This will DEFINITELY be the best week (my birthweek, that is) of my entire year life to date, with some of the greatest people to ever grace my being with their presence. To those attending my Blackout Party, please ABE (All Black Everything) and prepare for a good time.

The real test = dropping a debut album and proving yourself. Following Drake's lead (with the release of Thank Me Later...which went platinum), Nicki Minaj is releasing her debut album, Pink Friday. I'm looking forward to this day, mainly because I believe she can hold her own with some of the hardest MCs as well as release pop HITS! Also, NICKI MINAJ IS ONE OF THE SEXIEST WOMEN ALIVE. OMG...the things I'd do to her. The attitude, the body...THE BODY! I think Drake said it best in "Miss Me." I can't even...I need a moment.

MY IDOL, KANYE WEST, is releasing his new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, after being idol (to the world) for almost a year! For a while there, I almost forgot why Kanye was...well, IS my favorite rapper. He's been so musically inventive, responsible for so much innovation, controversy, careers (Kid Cudi, the reemergence of Pusha T from the Clipse, Drake's musical style, etc.), some of the BIGGEST songs/albums of our lifetime, in my opinion. So glad he's back. And after watching his mini-movie, Runaway, and listening to the previews of songs that will be on the album?! Man, I'd be a fucking LOSER/IDIOT/MUSIC HATER to not buy this album. It could quite easily be the best rap albums to drop within the last 3-5 years. Shit, I may buy multiple copies of this shit and hand some of them out to the nonbelievers, all the while, toasting to the douchebags.

Volume 2: LOST...what can I say? This has been the single most challenging thing musically and creatively I've ever done...and I'm not even done yet! Between trying to push myself and writers' block, I almost gave up. However, recently, I've been working really hard on it again! I'm proud of what I have so far, I'm already working on Volume 3. I think this one is a little less "stereotypical rap" and more about me and what's been going on since the release of Volume 1: Heroes. It's almost in stages, the first being serious and the last being almost triumphant with some fun stuff sprinkled in between. I'm hoping people will enjoy it and get to know me a little better while listening to it.

THANKSGIVING! One of my favorite days! Family, friends, FOOD! OMG, I can't tell you how much I eat on Thanksgiving. As a self-proclaimed fatass, I surprise myself every year at the amount of food I consume. Turkey, ham, stuffing, mac and cheese, ahhhhh! I'm almost drooling while I'm typing this! I think this year will be fantastic as I most likely will be having at least 3 Thanksgiving dinners. Waking up early, watching the parade, seeing my grandparents and the rest of my family coming together...the FOOD! Just an all around great day!

I don't think people understand how long I've been waiting for this month. So much planned, so many good things happening! It's gonna be a great 30 days, ladies and gentlemen.
