Another Ryan Leslie Prod.

He does most, if not all the work him self.

Ryan Leslie doing his thing

Ryan Leslie, is definitely one of my favorite artist. He is always re-inventing and adding something new to his music. He is a talented man and I think is a way he is part of Hip-hop too.

Rihanna, Chris Brown, Domestic Abuse

Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges after his alleged fight with ex-girlfriend Rihanna in February. There was an issue with him and Rihanna. Last month, the 'Run It' singer was charged by Los Angeles County prosecutors with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats. He was arrested on Feb. 9 after police said he was involved in an early morning altercation with a woman who identified the Jive Records singer as her attacker. Court records list Brown's victim as "Robyn F." Rihanna's given name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty. The 21-year-old 'Umbrella' singer and Cover Girl cosmetics spokesperson was represented by attorney Donald Etra, who said after the hearing that the singer is in "fine spirits" and spending time with her family in Barbados. Etra also reportedly said Rihanna is hoping that a deal can be worked out before a preliminary hearing or trial in the case, but that she will testify if required to. "She would be pleased if this was over quickly," he said. According to Etra, Brown's plea was "totally expected." If found guilty, Brown, who starred in the movies 'Stomp The Yard' and 'This Christmas,' could be sentenced to probation or nearly five years in prison. Neither side has publicly addressed Brown and Rihanna's relationship since the incident. The couple has reportedly been spotted together since the controversy ensued. Brown left the courthouse with his mother, two bodyguards and an entourage. On his way out, he had to walk through a phalanx of cameras. He was picked up by a car in front of the courthouse. Rihanna has lost her contract with Covergirl and which is crazy and Chris Brown got to keep all his contracts and sponsors. I wonder why? Covergirl you would think would want to keep her because she can use Covergirl's products to cover up her marks. LOL but another thing is that Covergirl also did a spread about makeup being very dark and black and blue... it almost looked like these women were women who had been beaten and had makeup on to cover them up. Also there is the commercial that is out with Keira Knightley which talks about sexual abuse, assault, and harassment, it is a good commercial. So this is the commercial addressing Domestic Abuse....

Group Projects

Lets talk about the positive shit man,
Making money ain't always about buying a new benz,
A brotha needs money to feed his family and friends,
Niggas worried about how many cars the drive, how many bitches the ride, how many houses they buy,
But what most rappers don't know b,
Is that they are like Tom whose chasing Jerry whose chasing cheese,
And they don't realize that they got to pay these multiple fees,
I put my money on a positive twist,
I invest in stocks and bonds just to stay rich
Im never in debt never been late wit my bills yet,
I got a few houses just about 8 but that's because I'm involved in a business called real estate,
See money can be used for good so you can get out the hood,
But remember to be smart and put your money in a bank account,
Make A Choice......

This was the piece we did for the group performance. We will work on this and really shake things up for the final performance at Diamond Theater. Everyone did good and I really was impressed by everyone because they are really coming out of their shells and expressing themselves. And those who were already performers are just improving and making them a better well rounded performer. I really enjoyed the project and it went well. The women did a good job with their performance and I was thoroughly impressed.
