Sampled.

It's no secret that Kanye West is known to sample others on his beats. Who can forget  the track"Through the Wire",  originally a beautiful Chaka Khan song became Kanye's first single off of his groundbreaking debut "College Dropout". Did you know exactly how much Kanye has actually sampled though?Check out this video I came across. I personally never knew how much he has "musically borrowed."

Some people may say that he is a thief. I say he is musically a GENIUS. These staples that he made sound like completely new songs, and he showcased just how he can paint one picture to a completely new beautiful piece of artwork.


Sampling= Hip-Hop

What do you think?

Love On Top.

Love Love Love Is everywhere and in the air it seems. Beyonce brings her A game (when doesn't she?) with her top notch dancing backed with her all male dance crew, in the "Love On Top" music video. B definitely borrowed from New Edition's, "If It Isn't Love" music video from back in the day. She is looking all kinds of beautiful and the song/video is definitely a feel good joint that everyone can enjoy! :) 

Good Job B!

Love After War.

It's no secret that I LOVE Robin Thicke and I think he is amazing! He doesn't disappoint with his new single "Love After War" off of his 5th studio album, with the same name. The new album drops Nov 15th and I'm sure he won't disappoint with that either. 

Who doesn't like a little lovin after a fight? hehe.

Hit the Road.

Blac Heat and Jesse the Facts are bringing the HEAT, with all of these music videos! I was honored to play Blac's loving (haha) girlfriend, in the "Hit the Road" music video. We had a blast on this one and some may say me playing a psychotic girlfriend chasing her boyfriend with a bat isn't such a far stretch from reality. What do you think?
Shout out to Blac, Jesse the Facts, Alphonz, and Micah your a fool for this one! 

Mommy In Chief.

Take a look at one of our websites, MadaeNoire.com's Official trailer for the new original webseries called, "Mommy In Chief". It stars Kayrn Parsons, who you may all know as "Hilary" from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. 

“Mommy in Chief,” is MadameNoire's latest original web series that explores the ups, downs, and everything in between of being a modern mom. The series offers a fun, inspiring, and practical take on parenting for mothers in a variety of life stages and child ages.

*You might hear yours truly voice over (ME) hehe as Kayrn's Aide...haha.
Take a look!*

Empire State of Mind.

Yes they say NYC is the city of dreams, and I can definitely see why. Everyone there walks like they have a purpose in life and I love it. Though I was only there for a couple of days the city has already left a great impression on me.

While being in the lovely city/state, it made me want to work hard and push myself to the limit. Always stay confident. Never let any dream seem unattainable.

I know the question is.. would I ever live there? I most definitely would maybe want to try it out for 6 months - 1 year. You know what they say, if you can there.. you can make it ANYWHERE. The only CON is a keeping fresh press is out of the question. 

Haha.

What do these names all have in common? Bullying was the cause of their demise. In this current day of technology bullying is becoming easier by just the click of a button. Rather it's verbally,  through text, or cyberspace, bullying can cause unfortunate consequences and lasting effects.

Come join the movement "Be More Heroic". Which coveys the idea that anyone can be a hero. Be More Heroic is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring individuals and communities to stimulate positive, proactive and courageous action in their daily lives.

I immediately received goosebumps when I watched this powerful music video. It showed the harms of continuous bullying, but also showed the effects of "Being Heroic". We all can be heroic in times of need. Please spread the word for this wonderful cause and for more information check out: www.bemoreheroic.com and it's Facebook page here: Be More Heroic.
