Random Items and a Plug: 9/20/07

1. Kanye West's album Graduation sold WAAAYY more copies than 50 Cent's album Curtis. I bought Kanye's album, and I am glad. Kanye's arrogant, but 50's a bully. I don't like it when people try to bully others. I never have. It's nice to see the big, bad 50 taken down a peg. Of course, 50 still sold over 600,000 albums. That's not as many as Kanye (957,000), but he's not starving.

2. This is for my African-American brothers and sisters in Memphis. What is up with adding the word "slick" to every damn sentence?! For example: "I slick like that film", "I was slick trying to do that". You know what? I don't slick hate the use of that word, I utterly loathe and despise it. Did you do soemthing or didn't you?!! Commit, dammit!! Okay, end of rant.

3. Yes, I have another screening coming up. Yes, I will give you details below. Hey, I have to promote me. It's not like I have an agent (anymore). Be easy, readers!!!

Plug Time!!!
