Blacks and Whites Version 2.0

Some new additions! Most of my photos will have their own little folder on facebook, but I'm promising to add a few random ones that didn't quite make the "public" section (I'm aware that this is a public blog).

Motown Mayhem

Is there anything that Claude Kanoun can't do? He is the most complete businessman in the field today, he has an assassin's mentality, there is no one more "Hollywood" than Claude Kanoun... or is there? Past attempts at uncovering the secret life of C-Kay, the R&B artist from Modesto, CA, was left in shambles when an undercover reporter was discovered during an event some few years ago (the Commisioner of the ABC refused to comment on this issue), but today news has surfaced of the former R&B great.

Claude Kanoun has made his home, cooked his meals and slept in his bed. In Modesto, CA this man now resides as the true Emperor of his small boarderless country. In this recent amateur photo that was taken by accident as an un-named camera-woman "bonked" C-Kay across the face, taking this snap shot in the process. He still exists, ladies and gentlemen.

This is Claude.

Kanoun.

Brain Freeze. Coming Soon. Summer 2005.

Sightings of Sosa

It has been nearly two months since the last Sosa sighting, here in Pinole, CA - home of Joey Sosa himself. Word has not yet spread on the where-abouts of this famous, if not infamous, writer who once sought refuge in the somber streets of Pinole. His new screenplay, "Pinole - The Movie" was rumored to have been completed when the mysterious disappearance of this Pinolian came to pass. One neighbor described it as such, "one day he was here, then he was gone". "One day he was here," indeed, Mr. Neighbor, indeed. But where has "he" gone to we ask?

There is a wives tale, a whisper in the wind, a bonfire bonanza of riot that Joey Sosa has traveled to a deserted island where he is working on his next blockbuster thriller. This reporter cannot comment on such topics, but stay tuned...the hunt for Joey Sosa continues.

The Blueprint to The Blueprint

Alright, so I couldn't find a way to stay away forever. Busy month, yadda yadda yadda.

Straight to the point with this one, The Blueprint 3 has officially hit stores (though it did get leaked weeks before release) and, to put it in simple terms, my forehead has hit my steering wheel multiple times after hearing some of the lines coming from this man's mouth. You don't need to be a true Jay-Z fan to appreciate this album because I'm sure everyone on this planet has or has at one time owned a Jay-Z LP or single. It's unfair to say that "Empire State of Mind" or "Run This Town" are the biggest hits on this album; Swizz Beats dropped "On To The Next One" and its been bumpin' in the ride all day. One thing I will definitely say, I'm loving the fact that there's no "Featuring Lil Wayne" on a single song, though we do have some Kanye bars and Drake lines coming in strong.

This album is definitely "the shit" so in preparation for the Blueprint 3 I've been reliving the Blueprint and The Gift and The Curse: "Girls, Girls, Girls"; "Renegade"; "A Dream"; "Excuse me Miss"; "Song Cry"... WOW talk about bringing back memories and living moments long forgotten. I think I've officially added Jay-Z to the list of famous people who's should shake my hand. So here's a track from each of the Blueprint albums, each paving the road of music to come.
