Keeping Love Locked-Down:

I swear, some time last week I was going through a musical depression... no matter what song I listened to I hated it... If anyone knows me, one of my main addictions is new music... probably my only one... Everyone knows that I go out of my way extra hard to hear new music, the most music and everything you are going to wanna hear, And I have to have it... not just a radio rip, not a tagged version, but the exclusive album quality or something...

Now last week, I couldn't find a decent song to save my life, I was tired of all the songs I already had, and when I would find a song that I thought was promising, it was a big let down. I needed something new and different... I even tried Max B's mixtape, something I never listen to... and I only find out that he is the king of fillers, meaning he has like 2 singles and the rest just fill up space. Now I didn't get a chance to see the VMAs but I knew Kanye closed the show... when I seen the video of the performance, I knew I just had to have the track.

Within minutes I found the live version... but I knew there had to be more... I couldn't find it tho... but I swear, I must have played that Love Lock-down like 200 times... in just a few days... then I was sent a mastered version, but it sounded like a laptop demo or a show blueprint.
I wanted more... I was figuring that there was supposed to be more... maybe a sample on the beat, vocal quality... something... but it still hasn't come... I just recently found a newer version... and it was nearly the exact same... except for one effect on the word "overload." I tried to hold off on this post till I had received the full song. I'm tired of waiting...

All in all, I'm starting to get let down about the song... I'm just expecting more from the song, but it doesn't come... to even the point, I seen 50 mocking the song... I thought he was gonna do something creative... a clever verse, or something... but nothing... It was a lame attack... I was disappointed again, and then Trey Songz did a track to the song... it was also a let down... I don't know what to say but I have to keep my love locked-down on this song... maybe that was Kanye's goal... it worked... because I still love it, but not how I want to...

*Update* Kanye West recently responded to 50 Cent's jab about his latest single “Love Lockdown”.

As reported earlier, during a concert in New York last weekend,50 Cent mocked Kanye's “Love Lockdown” and announced that he will be releasing his upcoming album (Before I Self Destruct), a week before Kanye drops 808s & Heartbreak.

In a post on his blog from September 18th, Kanye revealed he is in Hawaii working hard on 808s & Heartbreak and responded to 50 Cent's jabs by saying, “I guarantee this will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.”

Kanye and 50 Cent dueled over first week sales when they released their albums on the same day last year. Kanye would trump 50 Cent in first week sales and overall U.S. sales.

50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct hits shelves December 9th while 808s & Heartbreak drops on December 16th.

HEY THANX EVERYONE... PRETTY DOPE FOR THE FIRST DAY!!!

IM BRINGING THE POLLS BACK!

No, it's not time to go get your favorite stripper... I am bringing back the voting polls in honor of the voting season, my new political blog and the recent amount of comments and love I have been recieving...

I really love people being active on here and I thank you all... Please keep it coming... so let's see, what should the poll of today be about?

Regarding the current theme song, "Swagger Like Us," I was having a discussion on who's verse was the best... I just can't decide... See to me, I am a big Yeezy fan... so I am currently leaning to him, but Jay was definatly up there... Now in my opinion Wayne and Tip weren't even competing... but they did definatly bring it as well... You help be the judge...Who had the rawest verse? Vote >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


[Kanye West VERSE]

{"No one on the corner"} Mr. West is in the buildin
Swagger on a hundred thousand trillion
{"No one on the corner"} Aiyyo I know I got it first
I'm Christopher Columbus, y'all just the pilgrims
Thanksgiving, do we even got a question?
Hermes pastel, I passed the dressin
My attitude is tattooed
That mean it's permanent, so I guess we should address it, huh?
{"No one on the corner"} My swagger is Mick Jagger
Every time I breathe on a track, I asthma attack it
Why he so mad for? Why he gotta have it?
Cause a slave my whole life, now I'm the master
Naaaaa-na-naaaaa
How it feel to wake up and be the shit, and the urine?
Naaaaa-na-naaaaa
Tryna get that Kobe number, one over Jordan.


[Jay-Z VERSE]

Geah..
{"No one on the corner"} Got a bop like this
Can't wear skinny jeans cause my knots don't fit
No one on the corner got a pocket like this
So I rock Roc jeans cause my knot's so thick
You can learn how to dress just by jockin my fresh
Jockin-jockin my fresh, jockin-jockin my fresh
Follow my steps is the road to success
Where the niggaz know you're thorough when the girls say yes (yes!)
{"No one on the corner"} But I can't teach 'em my swag
You can pay for school but you can't buy class
{"No one on the corner"} School of hard knocks I'm a grad
And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap
It's Hooooo-vahhhhh
Dippin-dippin Rovers, whippin with the soda
Hooooo-vahhhhh
Did you even have any doubt after doubt it was over?


[Lil Wayne VERSE]

No one on the corner has swagger like moi
Church, and I'm too clean for the choir
I require, what I desire
I got stripes, A-di-das
Mamis scream, "¡Papi no más!"
Run up in your shit just me, no más
Runnin this shit like I got fo' tires
No one has swagger like these fo' guys
Now when it comes to styles, I got several
Sharper than a swagger dagger or metal
And my jew-els, blue and yellow
The type of shit that make 'em call you Carmelo
Who's as follows stays true to the ghetto
Write your name on the bullet make you feel special
Ha! What the fuck you boys talkin 'bout?
I know it's us cause we the only thing you talk about
And I'm gone... bye... yeah


[T.I. VERSE]

Ay, you know see Weezy for the wordplay, Jeezy for the bird play
Kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy
All my verses picture perfect, only spit to serve a purpose
You ain't livin what you kickin then you worthless
Lookin from the surface it may seem like I got reason to be nervous
Been observant, worked to see that my adversity was worth it
Verse is autobiographical, absolutely classical
Last thing I'm worried 'bout is what another rapper do
Ain't nobody hot as me
Even if they rap they ass off, blast off and have outstandin quality
Sell a lot of records, I'll respect it and salute that
But spittin real life on hot beats, I'm the truth at
You kick it like me, no exaggeration necessary
Livin revolutionary, nothin less than legendary
Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dad
Flow colder than February with extraordinary swag

TELL ME WHO YOU THINK KILLS IT THE MOST... I NEED THE FEEDBACK OF THE PEOPLE TO LEARN... EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HAVE A GOOD EAR FOR THAT LYRICAL CRACK... ADAY TAPE COMING SOON, DZA TAPE COMING SOON, MEK TAPE COMING SOON... SO THAT MEANS I AM GOING TO BE LISTENING TO SOME HOT TAPES COMING OUT RIGHT NOW JUST TO SEE WHERE THEY ALL STAND IN COMPARISON... THE LAST FEW TAPES I PEEPED WERE LUDA, CHARLES HAMILTON AND WEST PHILLY FRECK... IM GOING TO POST FEED BACK OF THE TAPES SOON... CAUSE IM RAW LIKE THAT...

-GHOST DA HUSTLA A.K.A. THE FREE-HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR BLOGGER

PEEP THE NEW THEME SONG...

I swear I was thinking this...


Jeezy would of been perfect on this...

TI NEW ALBUM COMING SOON...

Waiting... (More Personal Trial #1)

Current Song in Rotation - Charles Hamilton - Do What You Love

Quote of the day - Dj Young Prezzy AIM away message - "Fuck dreams, set goals, get money!"

Daily Goal - To get through the day without quitting my job and leaving to an Ozone event.

Most Valued Info Learned Today - People always change, even when they say they will never change... for better or for worse. (And they might not even know it...)

Blog of the day - I'm sitting here at work trying to see what I should blog about to be more personal... and then this Charles Hamilton song comes on... (the one in current rotation) and it just hits me... how about whatever is on my mind right now while I'm here at work... here it is...

- I was just reading an interview on Charles Hamilton when his song started playing ironically through my phone... (go listen to the song) and then I started watching a Kanye West Tour video... (Yes, all at work... I'm sooo slick... I think, they might be watching my comp now...) but anyways... I was thinking how if I were Kanye I would have released a Glow In The Dark Tour Movie in Imax... nationwide, similar to Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana (same people)... and a custom high top Nike Dunk with the Glow In The Dark logo on it ... a Dual tone black sneaker lined with neon thread and glow in the dark trim... and a shutter glasses set... all at once... just so if I was Kanye, I could see my stans lined up to the movies like a Star Wars film... that would be crazy if I put that together... Hit me up Kanye... real talk, still waiting to play connect four or battleship... But yeah, so I'm waiting on Ye's Imax tour and his Dunks to match...

- Next, I'm waiting on the day I get to quit my job and solely pursue Music... I love production, I love handling music business with a passion... I just find it some what annoying to keep up with with a regular 9-5 and this industry... especially if the 9-5 is from 3:30 - 12... lame... plus over time... my sched is way off...

- Last but not least, I can't wait till I can go back to school for this music again... I swear I loved college... but I'm broke... as far as a college career at least... I'm going to be back in that classroom soon, I pray... even if I'm teaching, or a guest speaker...


Random words -

> Song of the day just turned into SPACESHIP by KANYE WEST...

> Gage new song is WACK. I think it's called Gage - So Eazy To Do This feat. Gambino. It's just Gage acting like every other rapper hotter than him, and he's not even changing his voice... wack... And I had heard so many good things about him as a rapper...

> Charles Hamilton's Sonic the Hedgehog philosophy is my new adopted way of thinking about the game... it was already my favorite game as well... ask my wifey... Check his interview out at HipHopdx.com

> I still just want to take of and practice Parkour.

> I need a Lupe Fiasco mixtape series... 3 Volumes... right now... new, not 9/11... I need something new and free...

> Mixtape Messiah 4 will be ass... No originals anymore... just verses of the same damn voice... and I'm a BIG Chamillionaire fan... I will still download and support the tape tho...







Holla @ me... Leave a comment, Tell a friend, Pass around the widget... holla @ me about that business... beats... anything... Shouts out to Dj Bootleg on his mixtape release... and I hate every one at the Ozone events... but I wish I was hating myself...
