I know. I know. I've been straight M.I.A. Forgive me, my time does not belong to me these days. Let's Proceed..

1. I was listening to this mixtape by Hoodie Allen today and the best part about this mixtape is all the freaking amazing songs he sampled! I found at least 3 new fave songs just by listening to his mixtape. The link to the mixtape is below. You can stream it or download it.

Article Dopeness: Lady Gaga and the Death of Sex

Today, while doing my daily peruse around the internet world I came across a compelling article about Lady Gaga. This article questions the validity of Gaga as a symbol for the world's misfits or "little monsters" as she affectionately calls them. Is Gaga tale of being a misfit and on the fringes of society a true story or it riddled with lies and she the music industry's Frankenstein? Is Gaga a creation? real? or both?

Read the article and arrive at your own conclusion.

2Day In Music... Sunday Randoms

I have witnessed some pretty random but blog worthy things today....

1. First we have a chick by the name of Cher on X-Factor making it do what it do to Keri Hilson's version of "Turn My Swag On". Chick was getting it.... watch.

1. Ye is the greatest. Sigh. I love this man. In case you have been living under a rock, Kanye has decided to post a song every Friday until Christmas. Now how many artist do you know who are capable of such greatness? Yeah, probs zero. Anyway, click the link to hear his latest gem.

Kanye West- Good Friday

btw, that link takes you to my tumblr so that you can listen to the song. You should totally check my tumblr for daily music and dopeness updates at Planet Dopeness.

2. Big Sean. Gosh. Big Sean is my new Kanye. Yep, I said it. It's something about Big Sean ( and J. Cole) that has me coming back for more. Cheers for the reinvigoration of hip hop (Curren$y, Wale, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, Diggy and Kid Cudi.). Anyway, listen and get carried away.

Article Dopeness: 20-Somethings....

The "Times" begs the questions "What is it about 20-somethings? Why are so many people in their 20's taking so long to grow up?"

Hmmmmm... I'm conflicted as I ponder this question and the article. On one hand, I'm immediately defensive. I do not feel like I am in anyway stalling my personal, financial and spiritual growth. In fact, I am laying out the plans for my life. I feel confident in my ability to grow and continue to grow. But on the other hand, I think about so many people that I know who are living the classic "20-something lifestyle". Letting life happen to them, partying too much and investing little to no energy in thinking about the ways in which they would like to progress. So, I get it but I'm still conflicted. Read the article and see what you think.

What Is It About 20-Somethings?
