Wale Interview with SC:TV

Wale is so descriptive with his explanations. His comedic but yet insightful words are always so imaginative. Please watch the entire vid. I know we all like to skip around.

Michael Jackson, Forever and Always

Sammie Stocks

This is not a post about the speculating of his life, this is not a post about what caused his death. This post is about how we felt when we first heard Billie Jean. This post is about how many of us tried to do all of his dance moves and in my case had a fourth grader back in 98 try to win me over with the Moonwalk. This post is about the great man Michael was. In the words of my friend Modi, over at DCtoBC , "the bar has been set entirely too high, and while i’d like to see somebody attempt to reach that level of influence, in my eyes it will be impossible for any soul to have the affect that michael has had on the world." Many were in tears yesterday watching his memorial, and i have to say, even though i didn't shed tears on the outside, my heart was filled to the brim with tears of sorrow. This is a very unfortunate loss, but EVEN STILL, we should not concentrate on his death, but focus on his life, and all the great things that he did for others, the fact that my grandmother, my father, and I all grew up listening to his music, i know that other families have the same story. Michael had such a great and giving heart, his happiness during all of his many problems in life, gave people such hope in life. He encouraged us to smile. He had such a great impact on the ENTIRE WORLD. There are very few people that have been able to do that. I just want to thank Michael for everything that he has done for the music industry, and the human race. Thank you Michael, we miss you, we love you, we will NEVER EVER forget you and your life.

Wale's HOT 97 Interview

Wale presented himself very well in this interview with Angie Martinez @ HOT 97. He spoke well, and really just represented for the DMV. He had combacks for her witty remarks. I completely agree with his statement that Record Companies need to restart the whole Artists Development stage back up again because alot of artists need it now, because alot of them are great artists, but dont know how to compose themselves when need be. So overall, great interview.
