A couple of great live vids from my man dwele........
Dwele "Hold On"
Dwele "The Truth
I need to catch a proper club type neo soul gig, ive been to a couple of hiphop ones and ive been to countless dj sets, but never once to a neo soul gig. I mean they dun really have much of that here in the mainstream populated entity we call a music scene. in singapore. I guess i cant actually blame the citizens of our sunny shores for being ignorant, but well, it does dampen my spirits though.....
<-----the sound quality is a lil sucky though-----> We've been together less than a week but I swear it seems like two years at least Whether face to face or over the phone When I hear your voice I'm right at home
You're so beautiful More than a man could ever want girl got me looking for a camera to see if I'm being punked Tried to take it slow but Ain't no sense in lying to you or to myself
I know it's early I know it's soon But truth be told I think I love you It's unexpected...so out of the blue I gotta let you know I think I love you
The way you touch me the way you look at me Everything about you is so so sexy You do your own thing you've got your own money Everything about you is so damn so damn beautiful
Some songs jus express your present thoughts without u even realising it....
I listen to a whole lot of oasis songs, cos my best frens are prolly thier biggest fans, and dun get me wrong, i do appreciate the music. The thing abt oasis that usually strikes me is that whatever Noel writes or sings on jus usually turns to gold. This is best example i feel, the genius that is, Noel Gallagher....
Its quite easy to be melodramatic, and its easy to wallow or whine in songform i guess, but although there are melodramatic cadences, theres just something uplifting abt this song, and this performance kinda brings that element out, simply put, its a song that should leave u in tears but instead it leaves u smiling.....
U gotta love how he's bringing it all back to the Death Row era, its not something i can relate to, u knoe, calling someone vato or esay, but back then, i felt it was the coolest thing ever....
This vid kinda got me back to that feeling, i guess....
The swagger, its all in that swagger....
On to other throwback feelings.....

Ive been doin online shoppin for a while now, in all honesty its the best way to shop ever and when u get the hang of it, trust me u dun stop....
All u need is a debit card, enough cash in that account and u can jus shop away.....
Yes, exchange rates are a mutha, especially when u start dealin with US dollars and Euros, and shippin costs could dampen your spirits too....
So why is it worth it?
The most important thing in clothes or fashion sense in any form, is to go against the grain, to be stylish yes, but most importantly, to be different....
Its not even the clothes u wear at times, sometimes its how u wear.....
But ultimately, and this is a personal opinion...
I love wearing stuff, that ppl wil ask u abt and when they wanna get it....
*poof*
They can get shit..... keyword here ppl is...
Exclusivity......
Thats a very impt criteria in online shoppin for me anytime.....
I will pay the price to be different.....
Here are reasons why im goin online to shop today...
im dying for this tee here....
i gotta get these obey jeans here...
and then get these shoes here
and if do feel the need to bring the word exclusivity to whole diff level, i'll get something from here....
Im not confirming that Jay-Z will not be comin to our oh so ever sunny shores, but unlike yesterday i cant say that i can confirm he's comin either....
What i'll do now, is lower any expectation i actually have of this concert, really....
Well, at least i got Russell Peters....
On to other things.....
Lupe Fiasco's got 2 vids out. Im lovin Daydream, i think everyone can relate to it and we should be hearing I Gotcha in clubs soon....
He needs blow up cos unlike most fodder gangsta rappers....
This dude actually deserves it....
Daydream feat Jill Scott
I Gotcha
