Tupac Shukar is one of the greatest rappers of all time. I just wanted to share some of his poetry that I liked from his book The Rose That Grew From Concrete. I used to write poetry and songs in elementary school and high school. I would love to find those notebooks now! Also, I love what the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation is doing for the youth. Check it out here. Enjoy!
Liberty Needs Glasses
excuse me but lady liberty needs glasses
and so does mrs justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system
justice bumbed into mutulu and
trippin on geronimo pratt
but stepped right over oliver
and his crooked partner ronnie
justice stubbed her big toe on mandela
and liberty was misquoted by the indians
slavery was a learning phase
forgotten with out a verdict
while justice is on a rampage
4 endangered surviving black males
i mean really if anyone really valued life
and cared about the masses
theyd take em both 2 pen optical
and get 2 pair of glasses
In The Depths of Solitude
i exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
trying 2 find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul
constantly yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
never comprising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
a young heart with an old soul
how can there be peace
how can i be in the depths of solitude
when there r 2 inside of me
this duo within me causes
the perfect oppurtunity
2 learn and live twice as fast
as those who accept simplicity
pondering my true goal
trying 2 find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul
constantly yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
never comprising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
a young heart with an old soul
how can there be peace
how can i be in the depths of solitude
when there r 2 inside of me
this duo within me causes
the perfect oppurtunity
2 learn and live twice as fast
as those who accept simplicity
In The Event of My Demise:
In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise

Gloria Velez Comes at Nicki Minaj, Nicki Responds...

Poor Glo needs to give up the flo! LOL! But, Glo goes hard though! I respect both ladies grind. Gloria stated in an interview that she felt that Nicki was a gimmick and in this diss record calls Nicki a "Build-A-B****"(she had me lol-ing with that line). Since there is a small number of women in the rap cipher, they should all support one another. What do you think about Gloria's skills?
Nicki had this to say to in regards to Gloria via Twitter - "Jealousy is a disease. Die Slow." Check out Gloria's diss below from You Tube

Not only do me and Kim Kardashian share a mean rump shaker (LMBO), we clean up nice. Here we both are in BCBG Max Azria Mock Two Piece Chiffon & Tweed Dress. This is a throwback, but I loved this dress. You can get yours at Nordstrom.

Beyonce stops by celeb hairstylist Harry
Josh’s 9th Annual Spring Fling Party held at New York City’s Hiro
Ballroom at The Maritime Hotel on Saturday night (May 1). She is rocking a dress designed with the late
artist Keith Haring’s art work. The dress can be purchased on Patricia Field's website. The cost is only $72.00, so it doesn't break the bank if this dress is your cup of tea. Keith Haring was an artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s.
Peep B's tat though. Going hard for Jay huh?
Beyonce is toting a black patent Givenchy handbag.

Here are some of the pieces I love from Julien Macdonald's line. Here is Rihanna rockin' one of his pieces (pic from rihannadaily.com). Some of his pieces can be purchased at Net-A-Porter and Matches.
SPRING
FALL
I am a bath and body junkie! I love to take a nice bath with some bubbles while sipping on wine, wash with a lovely smelling soap, and then spritz myself before bed. :-) Bath and Body Works is one of the places I go for my bath goodies and home fragrances. I use the lotions and sprays to compliment my perfumes. They have released their summer Vanilla line, and I LOVE Vanilla!!!
This collection infuses four different scents with vanilla - coconut, berry, lemon and apricot. The Coconut Vanilla is a tropical twist of coconut milk and cool vanilla - the perfect summer escape. The Berry Vanilla is a juicy kiss of luscious berries is layered over sweet vanilla for an addictive summer treat. The Lemon Vanilla is a refreshing dose of lemon and vanilla. The Apricot Vanilla filled with flirtatious summer fun - a mouthwatering blend of juicy apricot and cool vanilla. It's a grown-up version of cotton candy and cupcake scents, except much more appealing and sexier. You can purchase them at Bath & Body Works. The Apricot Vanilla is already sold out online and are only at select stores.
