Dear Diary ...

I did a word association post way long ago about my favorite songs featuring the word "nobody". And I wanna do another one. So I'm gonna do another one. Here's another one.

Alicia Keys - Diary (feat. Tony! Toni! Tone!)

Cormega - Montana Diary

Idle Warship - Industry Diary

Joe Budden - Dear Diary

Little Brother - Diary of a Mad Black Daddy (Skit)

The Idle song uses the same instrumental composed by Alicia, but everything else is 100% original. Idle Warship is another Talib Kweli group to join the ranks of Black Star, Reflection Eternal, and Liberation. Dude's starting to get an alias complex like MF Doom or Madlib ... connect those dots ...

It's really sad back in the '90s that Nas offed Cormega. If he hadn't, Mega prolly would be in everyone's top NY rappers list ever. Dude's got a real heavy poetic influence in his rhymes for such a hard-persona emcee.

But Ms. Keys' "Diary" is one of my favorite songs ever. Forever ever. There was a point in my life last year where, I swear, I had to watch the video for that song on my iPod every single night or I couldn't fall asleep. She made me content like nobody else could at 1:30 on any random night. Below isn't the video I'm talking about, but it's a taste of the song.

... and so concludes another masterpiece

Don't Tell Nobody

So my "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" blog got deleted, too! Somebody's after me! But it's okay, cuz i'm bout to have a special joint like nothing I've ever done before. If it works out I may just have a heart attack and be a martyr through the song. Ha! Don't tell nobody though. 'Cept brandUn.

Dumb concept, but here's my favorite "Nobody" tracks! This could be a Jeopardy category or something.

Alicia Keys - Nobody Not Really

Anthony Hamilton - Ain't Nobody Worryin'

Nate Dogg - Nobody Does It Better (feat. Warren G)

Avril Lavigne - Nobody Home (Acoustic)

Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)

Eclectic mix. And fittingly, each track deals with something completely 100% different. Whether it's insecurity in the world, acknowledging undealt-with circumstances, braggadocio of one's dopeness, facing the pain of unknowingness, or the rare praise of a man's love. Respectively, of course.

I had previously posted that amazing Leona Lewis was like my third favorite woman in the world. Well in case you didn't know, Alicia Keys is two. Eventually I'm going to dedicate a music post to each of my five wives. But again, they'll prolly get deleted for some reason they won't fully explain to me! So check back like 12 times a day! Ha!

I'll try to stray away from posting new-new stuff unless it's absolutely vital, cuz then the argument of affecting record sales is dead, but the freshest music will always find its way on these pages. So, yeah. Who am I kidding, I'm posting whatever new stuff I want whenever I want. "You, sir, were a formidable opponent." (c) Stephen Colbert

Don't wanna get sued for using that last line there! Ha! But anyway, it might be the pictures I've posted with some of the posts. Whatever it is, my blog won't die and I'll tinker to make sure of it!
