Over the past few months, I've developed this interest in MMG's Wale and his music, and I LOVE IT - he inspires me. This is one of his songs or poem rather that I've fallen in love with and thought to share. This song perfectly describe the kind of girl our girls should be, but sadly aren't. I hope you love it as much as me.
Ambitious girl, the drive-drive me crazy I'm tryna stay with you, lay with you I'll pay your tuition, pray with you if you ain't into wishing I'm tryna fxck the shxt out your aspirations see, the last one I dated, I hated we wake up, i go to work, she leave out come back with some make up, high heels, and a purse, or worse i ask, "Baby girl, what you aspire to be?" she reply to me like, "why you perspiring me?" bxtch.. pardon me if I'm sweating you but, I wanna see something else in you before I invest in you ambitious girl, (what you sitting for) I'd rather you tell me to hit you later, because you gotta finish a paper then to be in my face asking for a rosea cup see these bxtches can't cut in yo business I'm in love with your business and your productivity is the reason I interest, ambitious girl see, I like the person that you are, but I'm in love with the person that you have potential to be and all your dreams sharing with me and your secrets bare them with me and the flaws, you aint even got to mention to me, ambitious girl, you just wanna win, and you'd rather chase your dreams, then to try to chase these men that try to chase these skirts that try to chase these shots with flavors that not even as sweet as her my ambitious girl, I wont forget you, I just reflect on how I ain't met you, yet boo you somewhere, getting your life in order so for the time being, i hope this (over scribe) might support her support her, or work her, she worth it go girl X3, ambition go girl X7, ambition go girl X7, ambition ambition X7
140 characters would never be enough to put my thoughts of you to words then to text, to express how grateful I am to have ever met you, So I'll write a blogpost instead.
Every single moment I get paid for a job, or receive praises for a job well done, I always flash back to the very first moment I met you, because a big part of who I am right now wouldn't have been possible if not for that very moment.
Ever since I met you, you've always been my inspiration, my push, and I've always looked up to you. Many feel threatened by you, but surprisingly I do not, I don't understand why they are, maybe its cos you are so awesome that its scary. When you said u were arguably the best few months ago, some laughed at u, some agreed, some 'beef-ed' in their minds, but now its clear to everyone that you are. Your exploits shows.
So, on your birthday, what more can we wish you than many more great years full of more and greater exploits ahead.
I am so proud to call you my friend and honored to have you call me your friend. I'm so grateful to God to have met you.
So yesterday, i was paying attention while listening to Nas's new album - Life is Good (by the way, he has sold 305k copies now), and something struck me about the lyrics of his song with Amy Winehouse - Cherry Wine.
He was talking about his kind of woman and somehow i was touched (probably cos i'm going through some L O V E issues), so I decided to put up the link to the official video, and the lyrics here, cos thats exactly the same way I feel.
Nas – Cherry Wine Lyrics
[Amy Winehouse] Where is he? The man who was just like me I heard he was hiding somewhere I can’t see Where is he? The man who was just like me Heard he was hiding somewhere I can’t see And I’m alone, and I realize that when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry Yes I’m alone, and I realize when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry
[Verse 1: Nas] I want some who like the champagne I like My a-alike, someone to talk me off the bridge any day or night She teach me how to live, she ain’t afraid of life Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before She love or she ride out with me on my music tour She like the herbs natural medicine, she cooking good She tell me everything is cool and looking good For real, the world so ill Yeah I want a girl so real Who not after material wealth, but get dough still Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette Who can be from out the hood, or even work for the president As long as there’s no selfishness Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and evident You can be easily recruited, you’re heaven sent Your smile, put me on ease You’re the woman I need, but where is she
[Amy Winehouse - Chorus]
[Verse 2: Nas] I hate when people write me hostile texts on the count of my lifestyle’s perception Invade my personal life, out of the question, what are they expecting I be tryna reply them, and they never suppose I get my quiet time in They think forever I’m rolling in dough, swimming in a pool of cash God, wouldn’t they know, or am I a fool or as I’m well known, got people coming at me mad I had a tell homes, I don’t keep a cell phone My bad, I drag, off the l and try to silence it The noise of my head, the curse of the talented Strong communicator, vagabond, I gallivant around the equator And that would get me off the radar It’s so intense, I’m on my Lilo and Stitch Pour my Pino Grigio with some lime what is this? An immaculate version of me and my baby With all respect cause you the only one that gets me
[Amy Winehouse: Chorus]
[Nas - Bridge] Yeah, yeah, let’s pour some cherry wine Everything’s good, everything’s fine Yeah, yeah we bring it every time Yeah, pour a little cherry wine Yeah, Hey yo Salaam, yea, I think they know the time Everything’s good, everything’s fine Yeah, pour a little cherry wine, yeah Life is good, life is good, yeah Life is good, no matter what Life is good, life is good Life if good, yeah No matter what Life is good
[Amy Winehouse: Chorus]
[Amy Winehouse] Man who was just like me I heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see And I’m alone And I realize that when I get home When I wanna go to my red and my cherry Yeah-oh-oh-ooooh The man who was just like me Cause I know he was hiding somewhere I can’t see And I’m alone And I realize when I get home That I wanna go to my red and my cherry

I saw thing while going thorugh some stuffs, so i thought i should post it online so that we all can read and pick something from it. So let’s go...
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn’t or saying nothing and wishing you had.
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. Don’t be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your heart, if you don’t, you might break theirs.
Have u ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person?
Your heart decided whom it likes and whom it doesn’t. You cant tell your heart what to do, it does it on its own, when you least suspect it, or even when you don’t want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but the other person was too afraid to let you?
Too many of us stay “Walled Up” because we are too afraid to care too much... for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even at all.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don’t know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger.
Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don’t be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have done, or could have had.
What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say goodbye?
What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?
What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt, even if it is that you don’t care anymore?
What would you do if you loved someone more than ever and you couldn’t have them?
What would you do if you never got the chance to say “I am friends with all of my family and they know I love them”?
People live, but people die, i want to tell you that you are a friend, if you die tomorrow (God Forbid), you would be in my heart. Would i be in yours?
You and someone might be “best friends” one year, “pretty good friends” the next year, “don't talk that often” the next, and “don't want to talk at all” the year after that. So, say to that person today, “even if i never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a DIFFERENCE in my life. I look up to you, respect you, truly cherish you, most of all i care about you.”
When 9ice released the Tradition album, I’m sure he would have thought the “Gbamu Gbamu” track will be the hit track, and really, he was right but only for a few months, as the rift between him and his wife continued to swell, the song” Once beaten twice shy” started getting popular and topping charts in the Naija music industry and rumours started spreading like wild fire.
Due to taunting jeers, calls and posts from fans, enemies and other people, Ruggedman decided to call 9ice out of good will to gently ask him about the new hit track and exonerate himself, but Ruggedman made a mistake of not only recording the conversation but also posting it online, but one thing was certain from the recording, 9ice declared he wasn’t talking about Ruggedman and exonerated him.
A month ago, news about 9ice recording a new song to be released on the 20th of September, Ruggedman’s birthday titled “Talk I’m Listening” to be presented as a birthday present for “Log-head-man” came to limelight, when the song was finally released, it revealed some inside stories about Ruggedman. On the track, 9ice was practically telling Ruggedman that his time on earth is coming to an end, that he’s (9ice’s) grandpa is calling Ruggedman. He also called him a bastard and he also told him (Ruggedman) to quit and retire amongst other things. Seriki also said Ruggedman had sex with his dancer, and note that at the end of 9ice’s version a voice said, “We kill for fun”, so if Ruggedman is assassinated tomorrow, the police already have a suspect.
When i heard the “Talk I’m Listening” version of Seriki, i couldn’t wait for 9ice to release his own and when it finally came out i believe i was part of the first group of people to download the highly anticipated song, when i heard it, something told me, Ruggedman will not record any song or track for 9ice cause he’s like a senior to 9ice in the Naija music industry, so he would take the whole scenario maturely, and like my instincts told me, he did but one of his boys came out with a “Hit Track” titled “The Ingrate” and boy, he really did kill 9ice on that track. Chinaydu (Ruggedman’s boy as he called himself) said things like 9ice’s gay and he has a crush on Don Jay, was slapped by Wande Coal, and that he messed up Mandela’s birthday. He also said the girl 9ice was talking about in “Once beaten twice shy” was his ex-girlfriend whom he caught “giving his friend nodding” and not his ex-wife Tony Payne.
If anything is to go by with what these guys said, i would say they revealed thing that were way too personal and should probably be kept from the public. But one thing is clear, Seriki intends to rise to the top by dissing Ruggedman, just like Ruggedman did in the past, and also Ruggedman did have sex with his dancer. Another thing is that if the girl 9ice was talking about in his “Once beaten, twice shy” song was his ex-girlfriend and not his ex-wife like Chinaydu said, then 9ice is a bad husband and probably would be a bad dad for allowing his wife’s name, current or ex to be dragged in the mud.
9ice also has every right to annoyed with Ruggedman because to me Ruggedman betrayed the trust in friendship by even thinking of recording the phone conversation between himself and 9ice, i’m sure if 9ice had said he was speaking about Ruggedman , Ruggedman wouldn’t have posted the recording online.
But if i were to choose who is wining, i would choose Ruggedman and his boy because, one, Ruggedman is taking this situation maturely by not personally replying 9ice’s song and two, because if you really listen to Chinadu’s track, he had more things about 9ice to reveal than 9ice had about Ruggedman in his “Talk I’m listening” track/ song.
