Another Blessed Day in Da Life of Da King-9/10/2009 I went out and performed at Lark Tavern Last night. I had an excellent time. I did 2 songz, then audiance asked for an encore..i performed Prince Can't Rhyme, 10 Weed Commandments, then Bow 2 Da King. My Biznezz partner, and group member The Rover, backed me up..I was his hype man when he performed. He did 2 new bangers, my favorite of the two was Rover why you singer for? I chilled with my dude A-Light yesturday in the day time, mid afternoon..did some promo, and computer work for him. We smoked some dutches, listened 2 some music, and watched this ill movie, Demon Warriors..that shit waz crazy. It waz about obtaining power the wrong way, and Karma. A Very special friend from da myspace world came through and chilled..we chilled, talked about some bizness moves in the future (magizine work), politicz, life, smoked some good Cush. She was excellent company. I played about 6 or 7 games of handball in Washington Park, b4 I went out 2 perform yesturday. Had an excellent time. Saw my DVD Producer and co-star today, 50 Styles at the library in the State Building on Madison on the 7th Floor. I watched our new DVD out in the Streets Right NOW-The King of Albany...my boy Young White was on it..saw it yesturday, then saw him in the store 10 minutes after I watched him on DVD. As usual me and 50 styles performance was excellent..say my boy Prince Reheem on it, then saw him today at library! You will get your Copy of dvd Ms. X. Thanks God 4 all the love I've gotten on the film Im in about Saint Rose College in Albany on You-Tube with Matt. Someone hit me up on myspace and put me on too it. We did the taping about 2 weeks ago. I Love 2 see me in film, on TV, on The internet, in Photos. I really do Love Me. About 2 head out 2 Dutty Ruggerz Studio today..Da Rover made a hot beat, about 2 go blaze it up, and drop some Hot azz lyrics and make it do what it do you dig. Another Beautiful Day in Albany you Dig!

Real Talk: JaY Z, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Diddy
If weed was legal Michael Jackson would still be Alive. He had sleep and depression problemz, no one ever fell asleep after smoking a blunt and not woke up, and as Kat Williams said, Weed has the magic ingrediant in it called "Fuck It"!
Since All Men are Dogz stop complainning when Nigga's do Dog like behavior. After all 'we're men, so what do you expect"!
Both Carters are nice, but 4 me, Shawn Carter is the best of the two, even though Lil Wayne does his thing..Jay Z shit iz more mature 2 me!
Like it our not, Soul-jah boy tell'em does his numberz, I love 2 see black people winning-keep doing you Young God!
Haterz, stop Hating on Beyonce for doing her numberz, thats what a winner is suppose 2 do, WIN, and she is Winning!
Kanye murdered We Run this Town, so did Jay and Rhianna, but I think Kanye shined the greatest on that track! Who would have ever thought Kanye would give Jay a run for his money, wait Kanye did, and he did!
I feel Paula Adul leaving Idol is a marketing tool..she'll be back!
Only a nigga like Diddy could have 2 showz on the air at once, Making His band, and Diddys Star Makerz...No matter who comes and goes off of Bad Boy, Diddy will never allow himself 2 fall off!
Your Boy Drake definitly is a breath of fresh air in the game..keep doing your numberz god!
Shout out 2 Da Rap Godz holding it down 4 BK, Maino, Fab aka Losso, Jay, Kim, Biggie!

I go to the bathroom only to have to go to the bathroom again I get money to spend money to earn money to spend money again.
I wash only to get dirty, only to wash again.
So then I ponder, 'What is the point of Life?' Thiz I Concluded of All My Conclusionz: I Love, to get Love, to give Love again, and yet the more I am Loved, the More I wished to be Loved, So that I can give More Love Again; therefore God iz Love, Love iz Life, and Life without Love iz Not Life @ All!
