Who's At The Controls? Is It Hard To Find The Answer?

Baby Girl Replies:

The key to the control over your life is DECISIONS. When you allow all of the negative things in the world today to cloud your mind, then you start making bad decisions. I have learned in my years of living that people will not recognize you for the positive things that you do in life as much as they will point out the negative things that you do in life. So the next time you decide to use your brain as a primary weapon, take the time to think about the affect that you will have on our younger society.

I feel privileged to be able to be in the presence of this music artistry. This album is without a doubt, the greatest selling album of all time. The record will forever hold that title because of the amount of sells and the perfect blend of iconic superstar and music legend. The album has music composed by the great Quincy Jones, who had to write the music as well as produce the music without the help of all the modern machines that you see today. Michael Jackson was able to perform this great feat by only giving you a total of nine songs that still today leave me wanting more. This special edition contains remixes of past songs with some of today’s hottest artists and producers. In my opinion Will I Am and Michael did a great job with P.Y.T. The song had an original feel to it with the same concept. The crown jewel of the album in my opinion was Kanye's remix of Billie Jean. With a slower groove and a strong added percussion this track is definitely a classic.

My Bond.... My Word.....

In the course of a lifetime you are allowed limited opportunities to build strong bonds with others. I consider myself blessed because I was able to recognize that certain people in my life are really genuine. I grew up believing that I was only supposed to be nice to people that I have known all my life. This thinking caused me to be a step behind a lot of things that was going on around me. Once I started to really give people a chance, I began to notice how much I was missing. There are a couple of people that were beneficial in my mental growth. Jazz McBride gave me the knowledge I needed to become an entrepreneur and start Progress Driven. I maintained the dream and believed that it would happen but I never had a resource to point me in the right direction and for that I'm forever grateful to him. My relationship with Brandon (The Upscale Live, the other half of The Lifestyles In High Definition) has been the most influential in my growth. He brought about a philosophy of product branding, atmosphere, and most of all socialization. Our bond is unbreakable, in my eyes he is like a brother and for that I'm forever grateful to him. The relationship I made with Jarvis was one that started in 1994. We were close in school but there was still a division that lingered. Once I was approached about joining the little league coaching staff with him I took it as an opportunity to coach and reconnect with a close friend. This relationship has taught me to go on the heart of a man and if he is being straight up with you then it is your duty as a man to return the favor. For that I am forever grateful to him.

The Progress Report.... "The Love Experience"

This album basically contains a lot of smooth grooves, with a couple of ballads. One of the things that has drawn me to this music is his ability to sing with a lot of soul. The music is also very content driven, it is not designed for anyone that refuse to journey outside the box. The smooth and bonefide cool will quickly understand and pick up on the vibe that the album is bringing. You have to slide on your adult ears when trying to comprehend the message behind the music, so please no children allowed. I surely suggest that you buy this album and welcome it to your collection. Even though the album was released in late 05, the music is definitely timeless......

Who's At The Controls? Is It Hard To Find The Answer?

Who is your navigator? Is it money or materials? Is it the lust for women? These are just some of the questions that come to mind when you are wondering who has the control over your life and decisions. There are a lot of brothers that are serving time because of their inability to see the intricate plot. Decisions are made up of cause and effect, the reasons for making the decision and the consequence that follows after. The majority of young African Americans today act out without using any mental reasoning. That is where the plot thickens, because if you won't use your brain as a primary weapon society will chew you up piece by piece. MY THOUGHTS MY OPINIONS……. THE TRUTH?
