I read a very interesting article on NPR today entitled, "Sugar Mama's on the Rise." And honestly was not surprised at all by what I read. Definitely an empowering story for my strong beautiful women out there and even maybe good look for some of us men, lol.
There are now statistically more women with college degrees than there are men. Women are now beginning to match just as well with the salary compensation and management positions. I mean, what man wouldn't mind a woman taking care of him? A man with a very strong ego...I think we all knew the answer to that. I myself have a pretty strong ego but my pride doesn't carry me nor should carry the relationships we are in. I know for a fact if I were to be in that situation, I'd have no problem with it.
Anyway, I don't really want to say too much about the article. If you want to take the time, give it a read and form an opinion...peace!
Man, already a crazy beginning to 2009 2010. In the past few years we have lost many iconic music legends. Let's make sure we continue the preservation of the music as the baby boomer era is now being laid to rest.
Rest in Peace, Teddy Pendergrass Sr., March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010.
"Give In" feat. Darien Brockington and Phontigga --> thought this was a really well produced song, lyrically strong as well. Produced by none other than the infamous Nicolay of The Foreign Exchange , 4hero ( I have no doubt that Nicolay had some influence on this one though)...DEF FEELIN IT! (4hero has some pretty good production if you have a chance to check 'em out) ... alternate link
"Don't Try to Call Her" feat. Ryan Leslie --> Mr. Leslie continues to bring the heat with his song writing and producing! This song definitely hit me a little. Should of heard this song several months ago, lol.
Wanted to post this song that is also produced by Mr. Leslie. I just think it is a great song!
I promise you will not go wrong with this mixtape if you enjoy good production and lyrics. Elzhi's "The Preface" is a heavily slept-on, phenomenally produced and written album. I would even go as far to argue that it is a CLASSIC!
"Decline" feat. Chiddy Bang --> this song is off of the Swelly Express mixtape. I was actually caught off guard and almost didnt download a few months back, so glad I did...it is a well put together mixtape, very impressive..they have been in the game for minute.
