CHICKEN WINGS and MAMBO SAUCE!!!!


Sooooo.....This is me venting pt. 2.....Im a lil upset....
Today I ordered some jumbo wings from the local Chinese spot in Pittsburgh and they had the nerve to give me a bunch of lil parts in a bag...like drummettish wingdingish joints...and half wings...I felt slightly disrespected.

I really want to know. Why do all of the Chinese restaurants I order from in Pittsburgh not have jumbo wings like the carryouts in the DMV??? I don't know whether to be more upset at the Chinese places in Pittsburgh...or scared about the fact that the Chinese places back home give me wings that look like they're on steroids...I do know one thing though.

Sometimes you don't know what you have until its gone :( Boy do I miss Chicken Wings, Mambo Sauce, and Fried Rice from Eddy's...or Danny's...or Tommy's...shoot....all of them are cool with me!!! Here is some music that made me feel a little better about my situation:


Chicken Wings and Fried Rice - DJ Flexx (Feat Rane and Big Tigger)




Damn Joe - Mambo Sauce





Welcome To DC (Remix) - Mambo Sauce feat. Tabi Bonney, Big G, & Wale

Sho Baraka - Higher Love

Like I said, here is my positive post of the week......Higher Love by Sho Baraka...Please don't sleep on Christian Rappers...Reach Records is definitely doing it big!!!!

My Thoughts

Whats Going On,
Today I feel like venting....if you don't care...than skip this post slim...butttt...Lately, I have been growing really tired with the state of music and what's popular on the radio....I felt like listening to something chill that matched my mood (I was feeling real UPLIFTED) and knew I wasn't going to find anything I could vibe with on the radio so I went on IMEEM.com and under playlists searched for positive music...I usually like playlists with at least 20 songs so I can just let them play and not have to touch anything..but what came up??? There were a bunch of playlists, most of them with songs that came out years ago (like Bob Marley, old India Arie, and some original Lauryn Hill) and had like 5 songs on them. Looking at the playlists had me feeling like daggggg...do people still make positive music or do people just not listen to it??? If people aren't listening to it, than I guess its the djs fault right...since its the djs responsibility to break records. With that said, my new goal is to work on posting more positive music on the blog so at the very least...I can say I did my part and put on some people that I can vibe with and that I think yall need to know about it...If you don't like it than....WHATEVVAAAAA I DO WHAT I WANTTTTT (Cartman voice)....CHEAAAA SUCKAS...lol...

Chen Lo THE GENERAL - The Inkwell Mixtape

I have a special gift for everyone....Drum Roll Please (duhh duhh duhh duhhh - drum sound).....Chen Lo's new mixtape - The Inkwell....delivered from Chen Lo himself!!! I had the opportunity to meet Chen Lo while I was helping out at Ya Momz House Studios a year ago when he was recording a track (he probably doesn't even remember that but I do lol). I only had to hear one verse to tell that he was a special artist. Anyway, this brother is a very talented individual who not only can flow but uses his ability to push music that educates and elevates the listener. Make sure you jump on this post ASAP!!!
