This year was an emotional rollercoaster for me.. I really had the chance to get to know myself on a whole different level this year .. I've had the highest of highs with this blog reaching over 23,000 views and counting to meeting J.Cole & Trey Songz following me on twitter( I love him lol) and work going really well .. to the lowest of lows being caught up in my own thoughts and feelings, for the new year I just plan to push myself a little harder no resolution just a note to myself ...
New Years Eve is coming I hope everybody has a good one I know I'll be with my drink and two step ..
Hey Kissers .. The Christmas is a few hours away .. I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday.. Remember when you opening your gifts with your family that there are people that are less fortunate and pray for them as well .. I have been shopping r.i.p. to the money I had lol .. It's all good I like to put a smile on people faces .. During this Holiday Young Jeezy Common is bumping BOTH great albums .. Top 10 hip hop albums discussion went good. I'll be giving you that next week hopefully..
Happy Holidays to all my kissers all over the globe =)
This week was so busy its crazy .. So I just wanted to share a couple things I came across this week ..
1st off I have to give a shoutout to Wordspit for his interview with ThisIs50.com .
I may have said this before but fuck it I'll say it again, to see him perform at the ark in brooking a few years back to now rocking the bet music matters stage and more, I am truly proud of Wordspit. People counted him out early and said he wouldn't make it and here he is doing better than them all. I will continue to support his movement because he's a great artist #TeamIllest! Make sure you check out his website http://wordspitwashere.com/
In the same breath with Wordspit I must remind you to get the amazing Cocoa Sarai Raining In My Room track
Check it out here: New Music Tuesday
Real M.U.Z.I.C has a new joint called Fashion Forward a song made for the talented ladies Coco and Breezy (you've seen them in Beyonce's Party video).. They are up and coming artist and I fucks with them so check them out
I came across a jewelry line called Sugar Mafia.. Judi from Bad Girls Club and Kimbella (Ughh) from Love and Hip-Hop have been seen rocking some of their items ladies check it out ..
Sugar Mafia and Beads By Wood and what I want for Christmas this year down below
I have on my old skool playlist and this song came on, and I noticed that people don't talk about them as much when bringing up music. My older brother grew up in the time of all the hot music 80-early 90's, so me being his little sister I would listen to his tapes when he left the house and rewind it back before he got home lol. Nice & Smooth was def a group I listened to. Check out one of my faves .. Hip-Hop Junkies since I'm one hehe
Today is the 28th of Nov .. so that means I have to give a very very special Happy Birthday to Trey Songz .. if your new to my blog I love him .. So I'm just gonna make this quick .. Make sure you get that Inevitable ep coming out tomorrow .. http://treysongz.com/inevitable/
Oh yeah Beyonce dropped a video for Dance For You .. This girl is popping out more video's than anybody right now .. I aint mad at ALL .. I love this song, it's probably how her ass got pregnant lol, strip teases for Jay-Z lol.. But check her out in the classic black and white theme .. Gotta learn them moves now ..
Ladies Ladies and my Lady Boys =) Nails are becoming statements, everybody always looking for the new new trend. I was browsing and see some nail designs I like .. Also came across company named Nail Porn out of London that have some hot nails .. Check out my previous post on hot nails http://sealedkiss.blogspot.com/2011/04/sht-i-like-nail-edition.html
When I want to talk about something, get something off my chest or express whatever I'll call it the Lip Print because it's me my life my personal mark just like a lip print.
Today on Beyonce's Vevo channel they showed the Aug 19th show at Roseland .. My mother and I was able to attend (she won tickets off the radio) We stood out in that rain which had everybody soaked and got a decent spot inside and it was all worth it. To see her live is an experience in itself. We had a ball then we found out they were recording the show and the lady had the camera in our faces lol, I thought we might make it on the dvd but not really thinking it would happen. This evening we watched it together jammed like we where there remembered the faces we seen, then seen ourselves and started screaming like 15 year old's lol. Another memory me and my mom can share. But enjoy and jam like we did : Kisses-Truth
1st up is Ms. Cocoa Sari with Raining In My Room OMG!!! let me tell you I heard this song back in Sept at The Wordspit HIV awareness show .. She finally put it out and I'm more hyped now because I get to put it on repeat that beat has a hold on me. It's funny I was just fishing around and came across her Vibe Vixen interview and they had the song up .. Please Please Please listen to this girl she is TALENTED!!!! Take a listen to the song that woke me up out my sleep lol 01 Cocoa Sarai- Raining In My Room (Prod. Jayd) by legendfactceo

Next up is Rob Manuchi rapper from BK .. Now everybody wants to be a rapper but its only a few coming up that I really fucks with and he is one of them no cheesy lines just straight from the heart, I gotta respect it ..

Now he back with something new for the ladies called T-Shirt (based on that name you know where its going lol) enjoy

Days like this makes it worth it, trust its been days I want to give up, but I want to give a thanks to all that come to my blog, that like or comment or spread the word.
I hope I am able to give you more material so that I can celebrate another 20,000 and better.
Let's start off with the Serenity Nights Fashion Event at Basic Ballroom. Fashion, dancing and music what's a better combination. Real Muzic was asked for perform and thats excatly what they did. No mics just them giving the crowd them and they was feeling it , More from Real Muzic coming soon stay tuned.
Then it was the BET Music Matters Event at Drom to support the homie Wordspit, It's never a time where I tell you he didn't do his thang and this performance was NO different , s|o to the band and Ms. Coco Sarai (Still need that Raining In My Room record!!) but check out the performance (Via King)
R.I.P. to Smoking Joe Frazier and Heavy D .
If you don't know who Joe Frazier, he was a Undisputed Heavyweight Champ back in the late 60's mid 70's. He's known mainly for his fight with Muhammad Ali in 1975. He was diagnosed with liver cancer in Sept and died Nov 7 . R.I.P. everytime I hear his name I think of the Ali movie and how Ali was talking junk before the fight lol.
Heavy D paved the way for smooth plus size brothers like Biggie and Rick Ross. Heavy D showed that he can get down and boogie just like everybody else. He was a major player in the game. Even tho kids today may not be able to see that, me growing up listening to him I can appreciate what he gave to the game. It's sad he's gone because we was just jamming to him on the BET awards a few weeks back. He was 44, he will be missed check out some classics
Somebody 4 Me
Now That We Found Love *Fave*
The Overweight Lovers In The House
R.I.P.
Busta Rhymes made a tribute song to Heavy D called You Aint Gotta Wait Til I'm Gone
It's the truth say what you have to say to the people in your life so that when they go on home your not regretting anything. -Truth
Sometimes we just want the things that are bad for us. We know that it has the smallest gain to us in the future, but we want it right then and there. I've learned that when I want something I'll take it or go get it, even if I know I don't need it (Not talking material items). How do you break a habit of that thinking about the pros and cons don't work all the time ..
Been listening to Trey Songz newest mixtapes OOO child .. if you haven't heard it PLEASE go and get it (check the last post to get it) .. Loving it . I was worried that Trey was gonna put out just hip-hop songs and just a little bit of r&b, but he gave me the perfect balance. Anticipation 2 and Lemmeholdatbeat 2 was def needed since there was no album out this year .Trey is not done feeding the streets the Inevitable EP comes out Nov. 28th with the single Top Of The World, plus the concert the in NY on the 25th, I wasn't able to get tickets .. Tickets came out on a non pay week for me but one my Trey Fam girls is going so she will have pictures on deck..But enjoy the Top Of The World from Trey now. This song is just about him giving back and wishing he could take everybody with him to the top, even tho he know he can't, Hey it be like that sometimes.

Here is a recap video from the Wordspit show I went to .. I can't wait for the next one S|O to all the performers My recap on the show
This video was made in 08' but the message of the song and video NEVER gets old.. I love J.Cole he gives balance out the game, he is able to give you the club records and give you songs that shed light on hard-hitting topics like young pregnancy. Lost ones gives you both sides of the story and makes you think who side would you pick? since this issue is so touching it made the cut for the album I'm glad he made that choice. Enjoy a younger looking J.Cole .. (Nyla this is for you sugar I know you love him so )
Chris Brown is one of the newest people to jump on the Niggas In Paris remix, he decided to do a video for it just in time for Halloween .. Chris Brown looks good with fangs ohh yeahhh Glad he saying he not apologizing anymore he don't need too. Chris need to tell all the haters to kiss his ass Enjoy the video : ft Tpain
You don't understand how much I LOVEEEE this song from Jhene Aiko My Mine is such a great song .. and her mixtape is fucking awesome PLEASE get it its called Sailing Souls enjoy this video off the mixtape

This is my joint . Take Care is coming soon idk if it will have the same effect as the 1st album .. but we will see I do like the singles so far, but I am curious to hear the album as a whole ..
I had this on repeat Saturday night
Loving it .. glad to hear the old TIP is back .. I really thought that prison was gonna have him on some walking on egg shells type shit .. I'm glad that he is ready to get back on top where he needs to be.
On another note : I heard that Jay and Ye is making a video for Niggas In Paris: Too hyped YES that will be on here as soon as it drop, like when it hits the net like 10 seconds later it will be on here.
Okay on to TV my homegirl called me hyped about Love and Hip-Hop 2 trailer .. and I had to hit the net to watch it and it had me yelling at the screen lol
Ever thought about giving up? ever thought about just throwing away your dreams because you feel as if you dont have the support of others? Idk about yall but its happen to me too many times with this blog. I think that's one of the reason why I dont post everyday besides me working and not wanting to post the same shit you can read on everybody else's pages. Trust I love to express myself and get stuff of my chest. I love the people that come to my blog and read my opinions but sometimes I wonder, If I just left this blog and never looked back who would notice .. Then I have my days where a stranger or friend my mention my blog and I feel as if my work is not going unnoticed, but when I ask for feedback or things of that nature I go ignored. So it's frustrating at times, BUT I'm NOT giving up. I like to write I like to express and I like to blog about what's on my mind so No matter if NOONE reads this blog I will continue to do me.. I do this for me and nobody else .. Just had to get that off my chest. I say it all the time I love my supporters .. and I know I have to work harder to get more of them. I'm not done with the page yet my ideas are out of the roof ..
This poem here sparked my interest in this young lady. I watched it soo much I pretty much know it by heart. I searched her youtube channel and became a fan. I seen her at the Wordspit showcase a couple weeks ago. I contacted her and fast forward to today and here we have a interview with Ms.Gabriel. I wanted to know the woman behind the poems..
Truth: Where are you from? Where did you grow up? Shanelle Gabriel: Born & raised in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn to Trinidadian parents.
T: What made you want to become a writer? What made you want to perform your work to a crowd? SG: I was always a reader, a complete bookworm. Reading made me love writing. My love of people made me want to share my work. I was already used to singing in front of crowds (I was known as a singer most of my life), so it wasn't a terrible transition. I remember seeing spoken word artists like Gemineye, The 5th L, and others perform and I thought to myself "Hey, I can do that." I tried it, and got bit by the poetry bug.
T: Now that you have a name and buzz for yourself , Do you get recognized a lot? SG: Yes, and it always surprises me. Someone will walk up to me in the most random of places and say, "I know you from somewhere...Do you do poetry?" Or I get "You're that poet! The 'You make me sick' poet!" (referencing my poem from HBO's Def Poetry Jam). Or they may have seen me at other venues and places. It happens almost every where I go, both in and out of NYC. I remember it happening in Tempe, Arizona. Random! I still don't expect it, but I appreciate the love.
T: Now for me personally your poem "Why I love You" is my personal favorite? Did that come from a real experience? SG: Thanks! All of my work comes from personal experiences. Very rarely do I write about one specific situation. I tend to combine people and experiences to tell a story. That poem was about different types of quirks in different guys I've dated. Yes, a guy did once tell me to "suck it up" when I complained to him about some drama I was having. Lol. But those quirks were what made each of them unique and reminded me that we're all flawed in some ways. Love is about seeing the cracks & chips in a work of art and it still not losing its value in your heart.
Beyonce channeled her inner New Edition with her new video for Love On Top. As soon as I seen it I thought of " If It Isn't Love".. This video is simple but effective .. Idk how Bey be shaking all around with no bra on .. I guess that's the benefit of small boobies .. But she gives you life watching the video .. Sometimes you don't need a bunch of unnecessary things or over the top graphics to have a good video. Don't believe watch.
Go Bey .. Give them haters another reason to hate, since they so focused on her damn belly.-Truth
