MTVu Nominee: Esso

Literally "the kid next door" - at least that's my personal thoughts of, Esso. No huge ego, no flashy jewelry, not dissing other artists - just your every day dude; yet he is an ARTIST! How can this be? A rapper with personality, loyal to the people who support him, humble, physically out networking on the scene and not having a rep do it, and supports other artists? Thats unheard of in 2009!! If you haven't heard of Esso - allow me to introduce you.

Currently working on his debut album, EVOLVED, Esso's Michael Jackson tribute inspired video for, "Don't Stop", off his latest mix-tape project, "Off The Wall", can be seen on MTVu, MTV2, MTVJams. Featured on your favorite bloggers, favorite blog - his internet buzz is noteworthy. Magazines from XXL to YRB and more, have all jumped aboard the "Esso Experience" train; the dude has a bright future heard! Check the credentials if ya don't believe me: About Esso.

1 of 5 nominee's for MTVu, Freshmen video, Esso needs YOUR vote! Don't just vote because I asked you to (well you should, but I'm saying), vote because the video is actually mad dope. So watch the video and then take your happy tail over to MTVu and vote :) www.mtvu.com/music/the-freshmen/nominees-101209.

Humor: Maronzio Vance Hearts Ja Rule

Comedian, Maronzio Vance, woke up one day and "found three Ja Rule CD's and I know I didn't buy them".

Dude is mad funny, he keeps me in stitches on twitter, although I had to tell him to tone down the Whitney bashing LOL. Anyway, check out how "livid" Maronizo was when he found these CD's, lol....



If you've never seen, Maronzio's, "Puffy is Poison" video rant - it is also a must see LOL (*disclaimer* the things said in this video are in no way shape or form my personal feelings LOL)

Definition of GAY!

So yesterday someone posted a comment about if a man likes anal, he is gay. It has bothered me for some time now that people REALLY believe that. Last time I checked, being gay had to do with having an attraction to the same sex and not a particular sexual position. I'm going to need someone to find me this information that says only gay's can have anal sex, because obviously I missed this memo. How did anal become a gay persons thing but oral sex means you're straight? LOL Like really, who wrote this rule book? Most importantly, why do people insist that it is true?

Lets break down what being gay really is...shall we?

Back in the day, "gay" meant to being happy, jolly, carefree, etc..its a word that described an emotion. Moving light years forward, and the same carefree, uninhibited attitude, we have persons who were into sexual things that weren't conventional; homosexuality...attraction to the same sex

Define:
A person whose sexual orientation is to persons of the same sex.
A man whose sexual orientation is to men: an alliance of gays and lesbians.

ITS ABOUT ATTRACTION AND PREFERENCE, NOT SEXUAL POSITIONS!!

Now don't read more into this note, its honestly just how I feel and nothing to do with my personal life. Being an erotica writer I feel there is nothing wrong with people doing any and everything to reach their peak of climax. Now unless someone can show me otherwise, I'm going to need simple minded, judgmental people to go sit on it! Too be honest, I'd be happy if people were just able to live their carefree, sexual lifestyle without the need to explain it or hide it. A great reason HIV and AIDS grow each year can be credited to people who are apart of the downlow family.They're afraid to live their lives and just hide it. Hiding it cause them to lie to themselves and others, causing them to put up a front, which causes more harm than good.

The real question is, Does it really matter who turns the next person on? Should we really care? Pansexuality and Polysexual people are being birthed daily in this day and age also.

Do what makes you happy sexually - hell, explore other things too. Stop living in fear to stick your winky in the shooter because you're afraid of being labeled! If you feel like you're gay for trying it, then maybe you are lol ..There is nothing wrong with being gay, accept it if you are and be jolly :)

Chamillionaire just posted this exclusive video footage of his Camera Man, Massa, visiting Gary, IN. It is a rather touching and emotional piece; I just had to share! RIP MICHAEL JACKSON!

New Mix-tape: Mario - What The Game's Been Missing

As many of you know, I'm TOTALLY in love with Mario and have been since Nov of 04. Met him in Dallas at a label listening party and he touched my soul LOL. I love it when he comes to town because its always a good time and this weekend was NO exception. Mario and comedian, Kevin Hart, are currently hosting the Burger King Fam Fest - a mini tour coming to a city near you.

While in Houston, Mario did radio and spoke on a mix-tape that he recently dropped - how in the hell did I miss this? lol..I'm not a downloading type of person, but 09 has changed me. First Drake, then my Brother RL's (from NEXT), Dont Talk Just Listen mix-tape and now Mario! I may seem biased but I promise I'm not when I say, I TRULY appreciate the R & B sound that RL & Mario are hitting us with! FYI - RL REALLY put me on to Drake, he is always reminding me so I got to give him credit LOL...


I'll let YOU be the judge...Mario's, What The Game’s Been Missing mix-tape featuring his DJ, DJ Aktive, along with Don Cannon & hosted by Ant Live. "Break Up", Mario's current single, is also featured on the mix-tape....Be sure to hit Mario up on twitter - he runs his own shit; www.twitter.com/MarioSoulTruth
