Grateful

2009 Bet Awards--Viewer's Choice Awards, amazing host, shocking performances, memorable performances, Michael Jackson tribute--all in all, it was a good show. There is plenty I could talk about, like: Alicia Keys&Wyclef, the outstanding job Jamie Foxx did, the sense of class the award show had this year... I want to focus instead on Jay-Z. The same man who supposedly retired. I want to show him some respect and GRATITUDE! I am talking about D.O.A. his latest single. Apart from his performance being pure FIYAA (ie. fire) the song itself was a battlecry against some of the nonsense that has seeped into mainstream hiphop (ie. AutoTune). I knew something was wrong when I found myself quoting my parents, "They used real instruments when it came to OUR music and they could actually SANG". The Padres were right--and I had lost all hope and began to revert to only listening to songs like Fire and Desire by Teena Marie&Rick James  OR True Colors by Cyndi Lauper--but then Jay-Z saved the day..he's attempting to save the music. And I'm truly Grateful. Bomb.
