You could call this my ode to music...
If i were ever stranded on a desert island and i had to pick one thing other then food to be stranded with...It would be music. I absolutely LOVE sports...yes... But the intense joy I feel when my team wins has the alternative side of extreme disappointment that hurts to my inner core (sure...that sounds a TAD extreme....but i'm just being honest with myself).
Back to music... Music gives me a certain sense of elation that i get no where else. Whether the music is happy or sad it always feels uplifting to me as long as its heartfelt. I can listen to Dru Hill scream out "sleeping in my bed" all day long. I don't care if there was a dirty whore sleeping in his bed with another woman (music video) something about the earnestness Sisqo says it with makes me feel his pain but also love hearing it at the same time. Everytime the end of that song comes I'm just like "MAN dawg....i feel you son....." And i've never even had a another person in my bed....Or something like that. (You know what i mean)
Truthfully...I like hiphop...But i LOVE r&b. For me hip hop is intellectual (and if its not then either your not listening....or it doesn't really need to be listened to) but r&b is from the heart. I think to a certain extent it just caters to me. Cater's to how i think and how i respond to thoughts and/or emotions. Although i'm not a overly emotional person I tend to "feel" or sense a feeling of a person or situation more then the average person so when i hear someone singing I truly enjoy the feeling of having a erson bare all of their inner emotions at that moment to me. I have ALWAYS had a thing for girls who have artistic talent. And girls that sing... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................. I can honestly say the one way a girl could ever make me cry... Sing. Not that i've actually done it. But i know its possible with the right girl singing the right way and right thing.
If there is one secret (or maybe not so secret) ambition that I have is to sing for people. To release whatever it is that i release (hot air?) when i do it. I don't even need all of the fame, glory or women (notice i left out money) that go along with it. Just the experience of doing it and getting that audience feel me. I've made two different girls (not my mom) cry by singing. The kines major in me thinks there has to be some sort of release in hormones/pharamone's that makes me feel a certain way when doing it along with the audience.... Lets just go with hornyness for now...
I've been slacking on these blogs. I'll start them but after while i'll tart to become bored with my own typing. So.... the point is I love music. Music makes me happy. Music makes me "high" (early 90's hip hop). Music makes me wanna cry and music definetley makes me dance. In conclusion...if i didn't have music... I'm not sure who i'd be. (probably Hakeem).

I like the early 90's reference to "dope."
Anywho, I feel the same way about music, espically of the 'punkish' nature. Half of the words of a good punk song (mest, afi, rufio) have to do with either death or sorrow, but thats not what i listen for. Its as you stated, its HOW they sing it. Its How they incorporate upbeat melody's in the background.
Thats another thing I like about music in general, is that you can find similar elements in vastly different genre's. Take mest for instance. Half of their songs have more beat to them then a jlo song. Quite a few of their songs employ a sadness about breaking up or losing touch, like many of the r&b songs.
I do disagree with you on one thing though..... If i had to choose one thing to bring on a deserted island with me though, I would bring a Maxim magazine with me....
Im out like Cherot's sanity for the next 2 weeks.
You know you are so right about how you can find similar elements in totaly different music genre's. I think even the punkish (or just white) songs I have found an inclination to enjoy tend to have those same elements that I enjoy in my beloved r&b. I think one thing that I've always enjoyed about "white music" is the instrumentality of it. Instruments have the ability to add so much more of a person's feeling then just looping a old song.
What would you do with a Maxim magazine...On a deserted island...........?????....
Is something happening to Cherot for the next two weeks i don't know about?
Mavs in the finals
oh yeah............
Yo DADDY,
In reviewing your comments on Skin Tone, I came across an incorrect statement Chris McCray is not product of the Proctor-Savoy family tree. As a member of McCray's family he is a product of the McCray-Wilson family tree. He is in no way related to the Proctors or Savoys. Where ever you get your information from this is incorrect.
