Who's in My Circle?

This is a running joke with a person I talk to online , I have alot of favorite artists so I have to break them up in different sections. Don't take this post seriously just all in good fun.

The Circle – Justin Timberlake , Kanye West , Usher and Lady Gaga who are my top 4 , the others include Eminem who at one point was kicked out (remember those infamous racist tapes) but several Months later I allowed back in. Other Artists include J.Cole, Adam Lambert and Maxwell.

Around The Circle - Being around the circle is just as good as being in my circle, you are a favorite of mines but not quite to the point I would Stan for you or even see you in concert, I don’t Stan for anyone though . The point is I like you enough to consider you in my circle. Artists include Jay- Z, Drake, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Trey Songz, Beyonce, Lil Wayne , Justin Bieber (yep I said it what you going to do about it) and Bruno Mars.

The Waiting List – The waiting list is when a new artist or a artist I haven’t paid attention to in the past gains my attention and I decide if I would like to include them around the circle or officially in my circle. Currently at this time I don’t have any J. Cole was in this section but as move into my circle in the recent months. But Artists like Florence and the machine and Mike Posner has entertained me a little.

You Cool Section- I just made this up on the top of my head, the you cool section is when I like a artist but don’t like their music but like THEM or if you have a song or three I enjoy (I have a three song rule when I like three songs from the artist I check out their album) Nicki Minaj is most likely a good example of this. The girl’s music is not my taste but I like her craziness and will check her out.

I support Circle – This circle consist of artists that I never was mega fans of but a fan or artists that I just like and will support their music. This is almost like the you cool section but not quite , most of the artists are from the past that I enjoyed and feel are still decent . Examples: Ludacris, Fabolous, Dipset (Cam or Juelz)

Was a Fan but Moved on Section – This is artists that I loved but just lost interest but will most likely still check out if new music is involve. Examples: 50 Cent, Bow Wow and Jonas Brothers.

Ignored Circle – For whatever reason I might become annoyed with an artist’s personal life I moved them in this circle. I can separate the artist from the person but when it starts affecting their career and getting on my nerves I don’t deal with them at the moment. T.I. is currently in this circle for reasons that don’t need to be explained. He has gone from being in my circle to kick out to being in my circle again to now in the ignored circle. I still listen to the music but that’s it for the moment. Another example would be Alicia keys but I don’t listen to her at all.

On The Curb – Artists that were once a large part of my circle but they have broken a rule so because of that they can’t get back in. My two rules for being kicked out is 1. A racist remark – I hate racism of any kind either it’s towards African Americans, Caucasian, Latinos whoever you got to go. And my second rule is beating a female that I know of (A lot of these rappers doing things behind close doors) but if it gets out then you have to go as well. Now I only have one girl in my circle so this rule I made just for the men. Since Justin and Usher has been in my circle the longest they can’t get kicked out that’s their privilege I mention earlier that Eminem (who was also in my circle for a long time) was kicked out but I allowed him back in. It can happen if I feel you learned your lesson then I will let you back in but you have to show that you have learn. Chris Brown was a big part of my circle and I kicked him out last year recently I decided to give his music a listen but sadly it is still not the same and will never be. He might have a chance getting into my ignored circle but even that’s not looking good. If he does then T.I. will have a better chance getting back in my circle than him. Chris can never get back in sucks for him. Some things I just won't tolerate.


This Circle is very useful you can use my method if you like for your own personal gain , remember a circle makes the world go round. (=

T.I. You really Trying to do everything to stay out of Jail

Got Your Back .......

T.I. is there somebody waiting for you back in the pen for you to keep going back? I knew you was going to mess up but this fast smh.*Dead* at the people that thought you changed once a thug always thug T.I. did not change it’s called good P.R people. He preaches how he trying to better himself and he gets people wrap around his finger then does wrong again. This too shall past, isn’t that your favorite saying TIP. I think you failed hard this time because even if you get off you can no longer preach that “I’m a changed Man “nonsense without people side eyeing you real hard. Not going to work this time buddy. And Tiny take the fall? Why should she if they both in it together. I do feel tiny should have some type of punishment though but take the fall NO. When I first heard about this I heard it was tiny being the main culprit and was like really but I wouldn’t be shocked if this was T.I. and then I log on the internet and see it was T.I. too and laughed my behind off. You can not be this stupid, so you got a number one movie and think you can just do whatever now HA. I divorce you two years ago so this is really not an issue to me I let you back in my circle but you messed up again SMH. Not giving you any more chances. And I’ll still keep the fan page I need something to entertain me while my knee heals (;

Side note: And for the people who thought this was a joke PLEASE TMZ be on it. I believed it the first time I’m tired of the black community (especially) making excuses for these artists doing WRONG. Your favorite artists are felons deal with it.

T.I. & B.o.B. Cover Complex’s August/September 2010 Issue

BET Awards 2010

Now I don't watch BET it is RARE for me to watch but I do tune into the BET awards for laughs. Now this BET awards was much better than last year (but that's not saying much) I wanted to post some of my favorite performances but they are not on youtube so I'll just write them.And i'm not going into details BET makes me waste Brain Cells so I can't remember anyway.



Kanye West - I thought he did good even though I felt he could have did more but I was just happy to see my kanye so I didn't care. I am looking forward to his album and him performing on a mountain was very kanye so I was pleased I really don't have much to say about this one.



T.I.- He's one of the few rappers that I can sit through(performance wise) , he brings energy and is a fine man so no complaining here.He was working overtime yesterday ... doing a skit with Queen Latifah and performing with dirty money. I guess he was making up for lost time.



El Debrage - I was *dead* how most of my twitter followers did not know who that man was. How can you be a music lover and not know about DEBARGE , I don't care if he was way before your time he was way before my time too and I know who that is. Youngins please educate yourself on music .. GOOD music at that. Alot of debarge records are sample into alot of hip hop classics so do your homework.



Eminem - Eminem like T.I. is another rapper that put on good performances , I love that a white boy is spitting better than most of the black rappers out. He came out on B.o.B set to the song airplanes , Keyshia Cole messed up airplanes for me who thought her voice sound good on that. Terrible. But em made up for it.



Dirty Money- A favorite of mines? I am shocked myself so say what you want about diddy (I get on him too) but performance wise he is entertaining. His dancing amuses me so much because he be so into it LOL. But as always Diddy makes it about himself having Dawn and that other chick be his background dancers . When will people learn ..diddy is career Suicide.

And The Main Atrraction YES- this even deserves it's own picture CHRIS BROWN.


This was the highlight for me .. So THANK YOU Chris Brown for entertaining me Yesterday (But not the way you think).

Now all in all I am a nice person (really I am) and i'm all about forgiveness but ..... Let's just say that Chris I enjoyed your performance last night and you really are a talented guy I will never deny that .. a reason I became a fan of you in the first place . You can dance your butt off and did a good tribute. But let's get to the crying LOL. CRY CRY and how Convenient you cry on man in the mirror. Your PR team has finally did something right. Now do I feel bad for chris for all his troubles No I don't. Does he deserve a second chance - You know that's not up to me to say . Personally that wasn't a comeback last night that was a flame a start of something because it doesn't matter if Black America forgives Chris it's up to WHITE AMERICA to forgive Chris. BET don't mean NOTHING. When I see chris slowly come back on MTV AWARDS , FUSE , AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS , GRAMMY AWARDS that's when Chris has made a COMEBACK. Is chris welcomed back in my circle? It's too late that spot has been filled by Lady Gaga so I can't let him back in if I really wanted to. At the end of the day if chris puts out a good song I will say that's a good song but he will never get any of my money again. It's the same how I am with alicia keys now I stopped buying her albums too. So chris hopefully you got the message but I won't be helping spread that message . Wish you the best.

Not Top 5? No my top 4 concerts

Here's a list of my favorite concerts I don't go into full detail the things that happen but just some detail. NOTE :The way the concerts are rank does not reflect the ranking of talent keep in mind.

1. 

New Kids on the Block w/ Lady Gaga & Natasha bedingfield 2008

This is my number one concert for sentimental reasons; New Kids were the first artist/group I ever liked so I was more excited about this one. Lady Gaga open up the show and at this time she wasn’t a big star yet I was sitting there watching her and like 0_0 I can’t explain it LOL she was different but I was intrigue. This was during her just dance days and I figure she would be a one hit wonder but as we know that was not meant to be. Natasha was good she has a nice voice and performed well live. Then the main attraction New Kids on the block, the child in me was dying lol. They are a big part of my childhood and I love going back to my childhood when I can LOL. They are good live as well... they are so much Fun they get the audience into the show. I left the show pleased.


Closing thoughts – I was happy that I got the chance to see the group that started my whole music obsession but who would have thought two years later the only one I care about now is Lady Gaga. Go figure



2.

Maxwell w/ Jill Scott 2010

This was the concert I went to yesterday and it was so GOOD. This should really be my number one. The comedian guy torry open up the show and well was funny in the beginning but got vulgar in the end. It’s one thing to do dirty comedy but dirty comedy can also become tasteless. And the sexually jokes went tasteless in the end. Hey the audience laughed but I didn’t. So next Jill Scott was up she was really good. She has a very powerful voice I wasn’t feeling her at the moment because of some interracial comments she had made in an interview but I still like her though. Then Maxwell who I must say is a beautiful man. The women were going crazy and I was laughing my butt off at them. He is good live as well and someone was saying he messed up a lyric who cares he fine he can mess up the lyrics all he want. Women throwing their panties on stage and he playing with the panties yeah it was that type of concert. It was a good show definitely a fave of mines.


Closing Thoughts – I love when I can go to a concert and the people can SING and LIVE at that. Would I see Maxwell again a part of me would but the women (and men) are too much LOL so if he puts out a DVD I would buy it for sure.

3.

T.I. w/ Ciara , T-pain , Lloyd , Yung Joc & Special Guests Jay-Z , Kanye West , 50 Cent , Diddy & Swizz Beatz (Scream Fest aka Scream Tour) 2007

Okay this was my favorite concert for a long time and it will still stay as a fave of mines. I wanted to see T.I. so bad (at that time) so I had got my wish. I wasn’t sure at first as far as would he be good as a performer. Rappers in my opinion are not good in that department I mean they just hold the mic and walk around the stage wow what a good show *sarcasm* but T.I. brings energy and he pulled it off. Ciara is or should I say was a good performer. I’m glad I saw her when she was relevant I used to love Ciara too. Oh Well. Lloyd I liked at that time as well he wasn’t bad to be honest. He basically did the sing and dance thing. Yung Joc I could have did with out. He tried to be sexy which is a no no for him. What happen to Yung Joc anyway? T-pain at this time was popular he actually sung on songs without the auto tune and didn’t sound bad. Maybe he should have done more of that. There were special guest there Funk Master Flex I believe was there and Terrence J and Rocsi showed up too. During T.I. set he brought out Jay-Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Diddy &Swizz Beatz(This was a big deal too all the blogs were talking about this concert)This is the Mtv article on it. 50 Cent had came out earlier during Ciara set which was the beginning of the end for ciara when she got involve with 50 that was pretty much it career wise. It was funny to see Kanye and 50 on the same stage because at this time they had that little feud the who will sell more albums mess (Kanye won) But it end up being a publicity stunt but some took it seriously. I think the only one missing from that concert was lil Wayne; most of the top stars were there.


Closing Thoughts – It was a Hip Hop head dream and a huge upgrade from the previous scream tours. It actually was the last scream tour and would I see T.I. again? Yes I would guns and all.

UCP(Up close and Personal tour)Chris Brown w/ Bow Wow , Omarion , Soulja Boy, Sean Kingston & shop boyz 2007

Now this was of course before the Chris and Rihanna situation and most of these people on this tour are no where near as popular as they once was but it was still a fun concert. Chris is a good performer and that is one thing I would never sugar coat. He really is but I actually wanted to see soulja boy too for some reason. Crank Dat was a huge hit and just like most at that time I was cranking it. I even have his first album but I’m not a fan anymore though. Bow Wow who I will always like (don’t ask) I liked him since I was 13 and it’s just certain artist no matter how wack they get or people feel they have gotten I just will still be fond of. Omarion his man (is he still his man?) was there and this was my third time seeing Omarion he just always popped up at the concerts I went to. I like him as a performer to be honest but like soulja boy not really into him now, Shop Boyz yeah those party like a rockstar people what happen to them? Sean Kingston not even going to lie I liked his first album and now he hanging out with Justin bieber so I guess his career is still intact.

Closing Thoughts – Don’t really have any. It was a fun show Chris is a good performer would I see him again? No I don’t support abuse sadly.

My other concerts were B2K(2003) which were a very popular group and messed up what happen to them in the end. The others at this concert was Marques Houston, Mario and nick cannon. Then the holladay jam(2005) with Bow Wow , Chris brown , Omarion , Marques Houston , Ciara and Trey Songz……..Let’s stop at Trey Songz because I missed him twice. On this tour and a show that was suppose to be at the Apollo Theater with him and Mario which was cancelled. I guess it wasn’t meant to be for me to see Trey Songz but I have no interest in seeing READY Trey Songz anyway.


I seen alot of other artists but they were mostly special guests at the concerts I went to I can't think of all of them at the moment.

In the future I would like to see Lady Gaga(again) Kanye West (again in a full show) Ne-Yo , Jonas Brothers ... I really did want to see them but they still on that disney mess and I just don't know now, Adam Lambert , Usher and Justin Timberlake who I must see before I die. I need to see Justin smh.
