Rants by Harlee

I went to the fair last night with #JUDYPARKER and now I feel like ranting.

• I don't know if you heard the story about the 5 people getting thrown off the ride 'Vortex'. we wanted to see the crime scene. At first we couldn't find it because we was looking for a ride that wasn't working. This ride was going on like nothing happen and why did it have one of the longest line in the fair? Aren't people still in the hospital because of this. Why wasn't that ride shut down? Like people are crazy.
• I didn't get on anything that goes in the air just because people fell off that ride 'Vortex'. I am not playing with that.
• The fair needs to give out free stuff.
• For the Males, I think its suppose to be disrespectful to look at girls when you are with your girl. I don't know I'm single. But I can't blame you, I am pretty sexy in person.
• People need to stop staring anyway.
• WHY THE FOOD SO EXPENSIVE?!? the should only charge me extra for food I cant get on the regular. a can soda does not need to be 2$.
• Eating a Turkey Leg, I felt like a savage.
• Everybody remember when the light up pacifier was the ish to have? I think my school even banned them people had them so much.
• I had to park all the way at KMART. Longest walk coming back. we stop for a break at the movies.

This chick tried to ride the 'orbits' with her big oversized dog bear. It said no single riders, I don't think she understood it.

WTF News: Riverside Cop Tricks Autistic Teen into Buying Pot

This is Sad. What is going on Cops?

Last December, a 17-year autistic high school student was arrestted after buying marijuana for an undercover cop. “Operation Glass House” was an operation to place undercover officers in high schools to find the drug dealers. KEYWORD: drug dealers. Instead these cops were going around asking students to buy drugs for them. Twenty-two students were arrested which majority were special needs students. These cops are SICK!

 

How can these cops target special needs students?

This cop reportedly sent many texts message begging the autistic students for drugs. Pretty much pressing him to find drugs for him. After the student says no the third time, the undercover cop walks into the class and arrest him.  Something is seriously wrong with law system. This student doesn’t even sell or take drugs and he got arrested and expelled.

People be Careful!

Caption this: Presidents

This is a powerful picture. What's your caption? What's your thoughts? 

Video: Ana Baby Ft. Jadakiss - Turnt Up

"You won't know when it's going to happen, but it's definitely going to happen in the next three months."

Man on the Moon 3 releases in 2015.

Video: Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home ft. Majid Jordan

So I watched this video like 4 times since last night. I liked the video. Now it didn't really go with the song besides when he get the girl, they'll be going home. But the visual was dope tho. It would been better for a cocky type song from him. And I didn't realize it but Drake the Man. I didn't know he was so "gangsta" He even had three tear drops on his ski mask! Ha

And it was nice to see A$AP Rocky fine self too.

I just want to let Drake know he can always kiss me like that and give me his jacket.

Music Curren$y Ft. Lil Wayne & Birdman -442'

Video: Pusha T Ft. Kendrick Lamar - Nosetalgia

MY NAME IS MY NAME! Pusha T continues to hype the release of his major label debut with this Nosetalgia” track. The self-proclaimed King of New York Kendrick Lamar is also featured in this gloomy track. East Coast Pusha & West Coast KDot take a stroll down 138^th and Piru street in KDot’s hood.

They compare the drug dealing game of coke to their own bars.  I enjoyed the track and this single shot black and white visual. Simple but Says a lot.

Also check out Pusha breaking down "Nosetalgia", the analogies included in it, and why he chose Kendrick to be featured.

Music: Eminem - Rap God

Earlier this week, Eminem released a 6 minute record that will be featured on his upcoming album The Marshal Mathers 2 LP that will be releasing November 5. Honestly, I did not knowing what he saying for majority of the track and after a while I lost interest. I did enjoy the "Hot Stylez" comedic "Lookin Boy" breakdown and all girl hip-hop group JJ Fad's "Supersonic" , not necessary the homophobic rap slurs that was thrown. Eminem has now gave me the impression that this album will be nether less crazy as his first Marshal Mathers. Hopefully he will slow down a bit.

Coming November 5th. Eminem's eighth studio album.

Tracklist.

 

Flashback: Eminem - The Real Slim Shady

Happy Birthday Eminem! Some say he is great rapper, some say he is just a good white rapper. You can't flex on Eminem, I don't care what you say. "The Real Slim Shady" was released in 2000 on his EP 'Marshall Mathers' This "comedy hip hop" critique so of the 2000s manufactured pop songs. This song also won his best rap solo performance. This song go off on Will Smith, Britney Spears, Tom Green and many more. You can also see Kathy Griffin being a nurse in the psychiatric ward.

Beat: Ace Dizzy Flow - Late Nostalgic Nights (Instrumen​tal Album)

This beat tape is just so smooth. I think my favorite joint is the "don't chu ever" and "highest high". On the "judge not" track, I swore drake was about to sing to me. You can purchase this tape for 5.50$ on bandcamp. Some of my lyrical rapper friends would love this instrumental tape or your cool pops that just want vibe to modernized hip hop old schools. Ace killed it.
The meaning of "nostalgia" is characterized by or exhibiting feelings of nostalgia. The choices of samples that were used all had a meaning and purpose behind it. Therefore resulting in "nostalgia" or "nostalgic".
Now use that word in a sentence today!
