i’m not even gonna hold you but…

I literally listened to a Victoria Monet album for the first time last week.

 her song,
moment:

…popped up on a playlist and i “really heard it“.
sometimes,
your spirit isn’t ready yet.
i checked out her album,
jaguar,
and realized i’ve been missing out.
i only know of victoria because she bagged:

… fine-ass wolf,
john gaines jr.
she just came out with her second album,
jaguar II,
two weeks ago but fans thought she’d perform at the vmas.
mtv curved and told her…

you’ll always remember the first time you were turned on.
when you are getting slandered like crazy by an enemy,
and as much as you are innocent,
they are more convincing to the public for whatever reason.
if it has never experienced that,
consider yourself lucky because it’s horrible.

megan thee stallion did the right thing when they all turned on her.
she surrendered and took a step back.
while they were filling in the blanks about her character,
she was healing and trying to stay in her bag.
it’s a blessing to have someone in your corner like cardi b in the industry.
she asked megan to be on her new song called “bongos“…

blessings.
they can come at any time when we least expect them.
i think that is the beauty of life that we don’t realize.
sometimes,
God can throw us a bone or a whole carcass.
remember ( x this entry ) that i wrote?
after i wrote it,
i had felt a release and acceptance after.
when i let go of something (or someone) and move on,
magic always happens.
i got an email a week later from one of my foxholers asking…

something urged me to listen to “pink friday” this morning.
i don’t know what but i needed a boost.
music can do that for you when you aren’t at your highest.
this album was what made me fux with nicki pretty heavy.
i was already in lust with her notorious big remakes but this album was it.
she does get on my nerves at times but no doubt she is a talented mc.
i don’t need her to talk; i need her to make music.
not only that:

She was Star Fox’s favorite artist next to his obsession with Brandy

how wild when i’m urged to do something,
i see something else to follow.
after i finished listening,
twitter sent a tweet from nicki in my notifications…

this has been quite the pairing.
the one on the left i’m still confused about.
the one on the right can get annoying when she gets grumpy.
when nicki minaj and ice spice paired up for “princess diana“:

…i still say that nicki was the main draw.
the song is “eh” but nicki made lunch out of it.
when i heard their next pairing,
“barbie world” for the barbie soundtrack was going to be 2 minutes,
i was not expecting greatness whatsoever.
well…

randomly,
i decided to put on christina aguilera’s debut album last night.
i haven’t heard it in a while but i still knew every song word for word.

“Come on over,
come on over baby…” – track 5

“When you put your hands on me,
I feel sexy and my body loses control…” – track 9

“Caught up in emotions,
I’m out of control,
Isn’t it obvious…” – track 12

when her album came out,
i was a kid and my mother was still alive.
we were living in a bomb crib and rent was cheap for 3 bedrooms.
fast food tasted better,
the future seemed brighter,
and the only “social media” was sneaking into her aol account.
’99-2000 was probably the best time in my life but i had to wonder…
