Donwill (Tanya Morgan) Shouts Kendrick Lamar's O.D.

"The homie Datwon Thomas didn't tell me to listen to Kendrick Lamar. He literally commanded me to. Told me that I'd love it and to set any criticism I'm seeing online about his voice aside. I think I got his shit that night and played it like three times in a row. It’s one of my default LP's now. You know the kind you throw on when you don’t know what else to throw on aside from what genre you want to hear?
The song I linked is not a dedication to Kendrick's album. Its me adding a verse to the end of the a song off of the album. The song is named "Heaven [&] Hell" and I swear one day I had this shit on repeat for like 30 minutes. So long that when I finally cut it off I just kinda started writing a verse to fill in the blank at the end. This was purely for personal consumption mind you but I figured what the hell, I may as well share it since I haven't put out any music in a while.
I named it "Buy Kendrick Lamar's O.D." because well, its not my song. I just felt moved to write to it and figured if I'm going to put it out into the world I may as well give the brother his promo. This ain’t my song, its his. I've never even met the guy but I can say he has a fantastic album out for sale that you should buy if you looking for new music.
At any rate, enjoy, re-blog, re-post, re-Tweet and thanks for your time."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age.

Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
