Dec. 20th and I am all done my Christmas shopping, are you? I can see a lot of people hitting up there local Wal-mart for the last gifts. It's crazy because Christmas is so close and it seems people all around are getting in the spirit even more this year.

 

At the beginning of the month Jay-Z released his "Kingdom Come" CD and it's really something to listen to. It's crazy how far Jay-Z has come and how long and big his career has been and with this album it shows that he still has his shit down packed. I can put the CD in and not skip a song, from "The Prelude" to "Lost One" & "Trouble" and the rest of this album make it a very solid CD. At 12CAD you can't really complain because the album is gold.

 

Yesterday, Nas came out with his "Hip Hop Is Dead" Album and I have listened to every track and can say this is one of his best albums and should be considered for the album of the year. With Nas u always get amazing lyrics and even deeper thought into the music. The whole album is amazing and if you consider yourself a Hip Hop fan, then you are gonna need this CD. "Hip Hop Is Dead" is the single from the album but I was quick to notice that he will have more than just that song working for him. Nas's career has come a long way, his career has seen ups and downs and this album is definitly an up.

 

    Both of these albums is all you need for Rap/Hip-Hop listening and both represent what they stand up for what how they see the game today.

 

     2 week-ends ago the show at Sam's Bar was a hit. There were a lot of friends there and people I didn't know, everyone looked like there were having fun and getting their drink on. It was a really fun night and the bar seemed to be packed to the brim, I put all of my photos up so that you can see them and if you missed the show you can see what you missed. Derek is in discussion with the owner about further shows but I think that Sam's Bar is a pretty good spot. It was a very fun night.

 

 

      Are you ready for Christmas? Odds are your not but you are not alone and because you still have 18 days left, that means lots of shopping but also lots of other people looking for their gifts. I can't believe how much volume there is around the Holiday season, Wal-Mart is more packed than ever and taking a cart seems to be more hell than driving a car in traffic. Buy hey when your all done your holiday shopping and your on christmas morning  the memories of packed shopping malls seem to vanish and you just enjoy Christmas.
