OPEN LETTER

Dear 2009,

you arrive tomorrow at 12 midnight and I am anxious to see what's to come for Rolsuno in 09'.  I promise to you that I won't second guess myself and that I will put myself first before anything or anyone.  I will concentrate on myself to better myself in every aspect of life.  This past year has been pretty much a pain in my ass.  Could easily be the worst year of my life.  But at the same time I know it will make me stronger and it will help me prepare myself for what's to come in years ahead.  I promise that all the negativity from the past year won't carry over.  And that whatever happened in 08 will stay in 08.  And I mean everything!  I promise to you that I will still be the GO GETTER I am but I will turn it up a notch and hustle harder then ever.  Everything I want to do or have planned I promise that I will either start those goals or accomplish them.  I also promise whatever mistakes I made in the past won't happen in the present.  So thats pretty much it.  2009 lets make this the best year ever!

Warm Regards,
Rolsuno

MUSIC MAKES ME HIGH PT 2.....

MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2008 

HIP HOP ALBUM OF THE YEAR:
THEATER OF MIND by Ludacris
Photobucket
His Production was on point! He had great guest appearances and held his own with Jay and Nas on the same track.  This album had a song for every type of listener, whether your a top 40 lover or a backpacker he had a song for you.  He put out commercial hits and also Gully tracks. If you don't have this album yet I suggest you get it or ask me for a copy of it.. Cuz this album is straight up CRACK!  My first listen I probably just skipped 2 songs.  I even liked the song with Plies on it!  so that must say something about this album.

MIXTAPE ALBUM OF THE YEAR:
ADELE 1988 Mixed by Mick Boogie
Photobucket
I have been giving this Mixtape plenty of burn this whole month.  Mick Boogie does wonders with Adele's Album 19 and blends in saucy beats from the year 1988 with her vocals.  I've put a few people up on this mixtape already and I suggest you get up on it too!!  


SLEPT ON ALBUM OF THE YEAR:
SEEING SOUNDS by N.E.R.D

Photobucket
Everyone thought they fell off.  Me I thought they just came back with a better album then there sophomore album.  We are lucky these days to listen to albums that have more then 5 good songs.  And this album has at least 7 good songs IMO.  It did take me a while to get used to it. but the more I gave it some run it got me.  holler at me if you want a copy.

R&B ALBUM OF THE YEAR:
YEAR OF THE GENTLEMEN by Neyo
Photobucket
you already know the deal. I really don't have to say much about this album.


MUSIC MAKES ME HIGH PT 1.....

Seriously without music life would be pretty boring.  Music takes you to another place when times are bad.  Music soothes the soul.  Music can get you psyched up.  Music gets you in the mood for anything!  So Reegsta gave his fellow bloggers a little homework to do which was DO AN ENTRY ON MUSIC OF 08.  So here is my homework. Hopefully I get an A+++  *this may be a long post so be patient*

YEAR END REVIEW ON MUSIC in 2008 (from the perspective of rolsuno)

Favorite EMO song of the year:
EVERYBODY KNOWS by John legend


This one line explains it all:  "i wish you the best, i guess"
***
Favorite song to get blunted too:
MAYBACH MUSIC by Rick Ross feat. Jay-Z


Maybach Music - Rick Ross Feat. Jay-Z

This isn't your typical song to smoke to because there are no dank references in this song.  The beat itself is why I like to listen to this song when I'm ZOOTED OUT!  Plus Jigga man rides the beat like no other (pause).  This song is just hella smooth.
***
Favorite song that isn't hip hop or R&B:
HEART SONGS by Weezer


Heart Songs - Weezer

If you listen to the song this song is put together well.  It explains what his heart songs are, basically which songs are his favorites and which songs he keeps singing!  I must have listened to this song for about 1 hour straight while driving back from a camping trip.  
***
Favorite song by an artist who doesn't have an album out yet:
PILLOW TALK by Kid Cudi


Pillow Talk - KiD CuDi

Even though Kid Cudi can't sing he still makes this song fresh.  The lyrics are on point and the beat is smooth as a strippers thigh.  
***
Favorite song to hear in the club:
ADDICTION by Ryan Leslie feat. Fabolous and Cassie


Addiction Remix - Ryan Leslie feat. Cassie & Fabolous

peep this youtube clip why this song is just that nice:

its funny how much he is feeling himself..LOL!
***
Favorite Song by and Artist who is under the radar and will blow up in 09'
SAY WHATS REAL by Drake 


Say Whats Real Prod by Kanye West - Drake

Many of your probably have never heard of Drake.  Dude could be the next big thing in hip hop.  He is co-signed by many people in the industry such as Jay-z and Lil wayne.  He basically jumps on Kanye's SAY YOU WILL and straight up murders the joint. Click here for his Wiki-bio
***
FAVORITE SONG THAT MAKES ME WANT TO SLAP THE SH*T OUT OF YOU:
WISH YOU WOULD by Ludacris feat. T.I


Wish You Would (Co-Starring T.I.) - Ludacris

This song just sounds like FIGHT MUSIC!
***
FAVORITE SONG TO LISTEN TO WHILE I'M IN YOUR CHICKS CRIB:
CAN'T BELIEVE IT REMIX by T-Pain Feat. Justin Timberlake


Cant Believe It (Official Remix) - T-Pain Ft. Justin Timberlake

I don't really have to say much!
***
FAVORITE R&B JOINT:
YOU ARE by Estelle feat. John Legend


You Are (Feat. John Legend) - Estelle

This Song just makes you want to stand up and walk to someone and just give them a big hug.. ya dig!
***
FAVORITE SONG TO LOSE YOUR STREET CRED TO..LOL:
SINCE YOU BEEN GONE by DAY26


Since Youve Been Gone - Day26

Hate all you want!  its a good song.. LOL!
***

FAVORITE HIP HOP SONG:
MVP by Ludacris


MVP - Ludacris

This song is hard (pause) Luda is an underrated Emcee.  Dude is mad nice with his flow and his lyrics.  And you can't lose with a track produced by Premo!  Plus scratches by Premo to.  Enough said!
***
FAVORITE GUEST APPEARANCE AND FAVORITE JAY-Z VERSE ON A SONG:
MR. CARTER by Lil Wayne feat. Jay-Z


Mr. Carter Feat.Jay-Z - Lil Wayne

Jigga man out shined Lil Wayne on this track.. shoot!  Jay always outshines everyone on tracks. with that said peep the lyrics from Jays verse:


Shyea
I'm right here, in my chair
With my crown and my dear
Queen B, as I share
Mic time with my air
Young Carter, go farther
Go further, go harder
Is that not why we came?
And if not, then why bother?
Show no mercy to Marcy, we're loggers
Far from being the bastard that Marcy had fathered
Now my name's been mentioned with the Martyrs
The Biggie's and the Pac's, and the Marley's and the Marcus'...
Garvey, got me a Molotov Cocktail
Flow, even if you box well, can't stop the blows
Kaboom! The Roc Boy in the room
The Dopebwoyy just came off the spoon
Also, I'm so fly I'm on auto-
Pilot, where guys just, stare at my wardrobe
I see Euros, that's right, pluriel
I took so much change from this Rap game it's your go
Young!
