CUDI Get

So I am sure that I may be the last person in the world to actually listen to the infamous Scott Mescudi, and boy have I been missing out. A while's while back, my friend Max was telling me about the musical genius of KiD CuDi, but I just ignored him as usual, even saying that S O U L J A Beezy satisfied me more than that guy who sang the song about Days and Nights. I do not even know why I was completely opposed to him. I guess it is just my nature to try and go against the grain, which is not always necessarily a good thing.

Well about two weeks ago, I realized that my iPod needed a make over. I was tired of listening to the same Cassidy freestyles and Notorious B.I.G. songs (very great lyricist by the way.) My pal Joe Doan was able to help me with giving me 562 songs to listen to, some old and some new, and rarely do I need to skip a song as it is on shuffle. From Blu & Exile to Beanie Sigel, American Terrorist to Doomsday, Cudi to Mos Def, it's all great. I normally don't like saying I have favorite songs because it changes so often, but for now, I can say that I have listened to Cudi Get A LOT in these past few days, real rap.

Lately I have been quite bored in real life and even more on the internet, but the other day I remembered a site that my African American History teacher showed us. Courtesy of hotghettomess.com, enjoy.

And oh yeah for tribute to my favorite baller of all time and favorite performer of all time(other than James Brown) I took this picture for my Iphone background......feel free to steal it

I get goosebumps when the bass line jumps

Researchers fabrication or not, my ADHD causes me to be in a constant motion. Needless to say music means a lot to me. Depending on the day, time, and my mood I might be found nodding my head, tapping my feet, creating a drumset out of forks and knives on the table or be lost to a complete state of convulsions, gyrations, robotic fluctuations,ticking reverberations, undulations, or rhythmic spasms and what have you. In short, I like to vibe out. "Wyle" out if you will.

What's movement without sound? Dancing with no constant beat is like getting a ride from a friend who is always late, or coming down the steps in the morning, groggy eyed, to find out that your favorite cereal is stale. You can do it but, it won't be enjoyable. So finding the perfect artist, album, or internet radio station to vibe to is like discovering a crumpled twenty dollar bill in your pocket on the way to buy a gift. When there is nothing of importance on the mind and nothing but night in the sky, that is my job. Finding music not limited to lyrical substance or sex heavy hooks.

The quest to find a happy medium has yielded such results

Forty- Nine

I hope this entertains all.

1. My name is Hezekiah O. Adedoyin Jr. Me and my dad share the same name.

2. The "O." stands for Oyekanmi, and I honestly just learned how to spell it on Tuesday whilst filling out a W4 form.

3. I often don't put forth the effort, to life.

4. "Land of milk and honey with the swirls, Where reckless naked girls get necklaces of pearls." I still don't know where the Villain is talking about.

5. Smart Guy is the only reason that I watch BET.

6. I've been to the movies more this summer more than I have been in the last 5 years.

7. Chris Brown should have been on the BET awards as Michael Jackson.

8. A lot of people ask me why I am so nice, and I simply reply "My parents." They are the nicest people I know as much as I would not like to admit it.

9. Whenever I get sad, I go into my closet and listen to The Strokes and Paul Simon

10. I love the sport of basketball, but compared to many others, I do not play as often as should or like to. That has to change.

11. I do not like pictures of myself, except for when I was a baby.

12. There are two pictures in my wallet, one of me as a youngster, the other is of my friend Elizabeth. They are the best pictures.

13. The Best I Ever Had video is better than the Death Of Autotone video. The idea is just better.

14. I have to make a conscience effort to not eat Mcdonalds, Burger King and Wendys.

15. Sadly, I don't really party, in any sense of the term.

16. For about a six month stretch, I didn't like girls, I only liked one.

17. After visiting Chicago, my best friend Quran and I realized that we were "losing."

18. I dislike hearing people use the term "Hypebeast" because 9/10 times, it is just the stove calling the kettle black.

19. Thanks to Anna and John I've been wearing J. Crew a little bit.

20. I miss ERROR PHL a lot.

21. The new show South Central on TVone is so funny. I secretly leave my TV on the channel and hope that it is on whenever I get home

22. Science camp in 8th grade was the best experience of my life.

23. I used to think I had a diverse sense of music, until I realized that outside of rap, I only listen to one artist from each genre pretty much.

24. "If ya baby says no then just throw her out the dooo
And if she still says no then slap that, yo
No need to please her
Dont hesistate to dump the sleeza"
- Cold Dog

25. DIP SET and Milan4calendargirl.com for life.

26. What I really want more than anything is to have a nice relationship. Everything else falls short.

27. I hate that a majority of the youth my age look the same.

28. I caught up with a great friend yesterday, she used to be one of my best friends, we need to be best friends again.

31. I am not nearly as happy a person as I used to be.

34. Most of the items that I buy are not for myself.

35. I was talking to my homeless friend, turns out that he is getting a job and finally moving off of the streets and into an apartment soon. That's love.

36. I made tons of gel, while "working" during science camp and I still have some left.

37. My glasses are real, sorry to all who thought they were fake.

38. I used to try and make my away messages on AIM relate to my mood.

39. Meeting new people is always a pleasure for me.

40. I am half Nigerian.

41. Paul Simon is the smoothest.

42. I used to think that sneakers would be my top obsession during the high school years, but it was too hard to keep the passion when only three other people that I chilled with cared about the same stuff as me. Philly for the loss.

43. Beanie Sigel is the funniest rapper to me, his abbresiveness is unrivaled. Philly for the win.

44. I listen to playlists on Imeem whenever I lay down. The playlists are mostly either Paul Simon or MF Doom.

45. I said "Yizzerp" for the first time in a while on a boat a few days ago, and Shanika, the waitress, turned back around and asked me if I needed anything. True Story. It was great.

46. Whenever I look at tv shows or movies from the 90's, I look for as many Jordan brand products as I can. I.E. in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the main kid had a Jordan VIII (I'm not 100% sure it was VIII) hat on.

Sneak Peek

It would only be right for me to tell you that if you are not in Philadelphia during the end of July, you will be missing out a fantastic benefit barbeque.

Plan accordingly.

Fifty

It is currently 3 am,nevermind what the bottom of this post wil say. Despite my fear of the dark I am outside sitting on the steps. I just wanted to see how long Hewleus could hold that internet connection. He never fails. Insomnia has never been a problem but, seems as if having conversations (short and meaningless as they may be) with a certain someone always leaves me restless, untouchable or not. But as long as I am out here it would only be right to do something equally aimless.

Fifty facts about yours truly

3.As much as I hate sneakerheads, I really like sneakers.

12.Writing a poem or thought of substantial length and depth makes me happier than I would be if I were to bag three in a day.

12. I made the term "bag three in a day" up. It means to garner the attention and cell phone digits of the preferred sex, in a timely manner, with solely sex in mind.

13.Nya Ari can bag three in a day. Nya Arielle Tindal can bag two in a day. Nya A. Tindal breaks the bag.

14.The funniest thing that (I think) I have ever said on twitter was "imcudi is rookie of the year.not aubrey graham from degrassi.yeah,it goes there."

15.No one ever understands my tweets. That is how it should be.

16.My Mom didn't want me to have my camera, she fought really hard against it but, my Dad said that Eighteen was too important to not receive a gift worth remembering.

27.Smoking is something I fell into, and said that I would never do.

28.I am more likely to buy a homeless man a hamburger than lend my brother money.

29.People who borrow money, don't pay it back, and get offended when you call them out on it make me grind my teeth. At least homeless people never say that they'll pay you back, and don't do it.

30.The way that people handle money, and treat their mothers can also tell you a lot about who they are as a person.

31.Sometimes I say things and later put quotes around them because I think I'm incredibly witty or intelligent.

32.The only blog that I check consistently is The Sartorialist.

33.Lupe Fiasco is the man.

46.I talk to hear the sound of my own voice.

47.Being opinionated is code for judgemental to some. Either way I worry about myself more than I could ever worry about any other person.

48.But, homeless people really touch my heart.

49.I am still outside at is is 4 am.

50.I give you kudos if you've read all of this.

Untouchable

In a lot of ways I am one of the worst types of people that you will ever encounter. There are the self-centered, the clueless, the bigots, the snakes, the type-A personalities, those deemed strange, those who choose not to bathe on a daily basis, the anti-social, the cowardly, etc. Included in the et cetera category would probably be those deemed acquisitive beyond good health or normal standard. That would be me.

I can't sugar coat it or disguise it with it's synonyms like "penurious, possessive, niggardliness, etc". Basically, I am a greedy muhfucka and accepting of the fact. It has always been important to me to have at least $50 in my wallet. Pockets really, since I was only ten or eleven when the avarice began to take over. But that's a lie too. The first sentence that I ever put together was "Me- Nya.".

Snow shoveling, car washing, lemonade stands, dog walking, house cleaning, tutoring, selling clothes, selling sneakers. As time carried on (like it has the nasty habit of doing) my work ethic was rewarded with a steady payroll. Summers consisting of odd jobs turned into Ten hour work days and cash at the end of every week. The Months in between were plotted by academics and wasting life at The Metropolitan Bakery. Unhappy and unsatisfying as it might have been, it was money. Money is money regardless of origin, right?

Although I am sure that you are intrigued beyond belief by all of this background and personal information, I am getting somewhere with all of this, I promise.

There is a place for all of us. But the specific location or title is not as important as whatever sentiment and knowledge is gained or lost during the given traverse. At Eighteen years old I am finally with a job that I can be proud of and can honestly say that I would work with or without pay. That's quite the leap from the money hungry soul that I have been in the past, with little under a decade beneath my working belt I've come to realize that when you finally get paid to do something that you love, the only work that's left to be done is showing everyone who you are, and exactly what you are about.

Clearly I am not finished with my education (since my parents just paid for a full year of college) but, being able to photograph subjects, for a good amount of wherewithal has definitely opened up my eyes to things that went unseen prior to. As far as life's plan for me go, I have options.

In my perfect world, Marvin Scott Jarret would appear before my very eyes, at this very moment, and beg me to write and photograph for Nylon. But, until that happens my only priorities include manifesting this particular entity, and enjoying my life while continuing to build upon my skills.

Belittle my accomplishment if you feel the need to but, as of now, in my own mind, I am untouchable.
