Hard to Get vs Standards

"Why you gotta play hard to get?"

One of the most irritating questions that I've been getting alot. I find that to be an ignorant inquiry. Just because I don't pay you no mind doesn't mean I'm playin games. It flat out means that I DON'T WANT YOU. I'm not one to play games with others for the simple fact that I don't like when people play games with me. If I'm feelin' you, you're gonna know. But 98% of the time that's not the case. If you constantly blowin up my phone, Twitter, or FB inbox, and get a reply 25% of the time... take a hint. I really don't like hurting people's feelings, but this has been blowing me more and more lately, so niggas boutta get flowed on.

Some of y'all don't realize what playing hard to get actually is. I'm not Webster, so look it up on Urban Dictionary. Just know that the reason it seems I am that way is because I have certain STANDARDS that need to be met. This isn't eHarmony.com, so I don't feel the need to list a criteria and what not. To some my standards may seem high, but I disagree. I just refuse to settle... no one should. Settling for less than what you want is a set up for failure.

What's the point in settling if you know what you want?

The Better Party!

Unique rhymes over futuristic beats.

"The Better Party" mixtape was dropped this week by Earthgang, a duo from Georgia. I couldn't stop rockin my head while listenin' to this joint. No wack wordplay, no mimicking of famous artists' flows. I love both Venus and Hobbes' delivery and how they compliment each other so well. Earthgang reminds me of Outcast, a revolutionary duo that epitomized Hip-Hop during its time. Defying odds and daring to be different, integrating unconventional sounds in the beats. Did I mention the great production? =)

Visit earthgang.net right now!

DOWNLOAD the mixtape "The Better Party", and put it on the mP3.

Listen all the way through! (not like that will be hard)

This mixtape exudes REAL Hip-Hop. Earthgang is the future of the subculture we love.

Real Talk.

"Earthgang be that live shit. You are just a rerun"

Thinkin Like a Nigga...

We all know about a woman's intuition... but what do you call it when a female also has the mental capacity to think as a male would?

The big man Steve Harvey said it best in his book title "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man." I am one female who has been blessed with the ability to think like a man, but still carry myself and think like a woman would. I feel that women who have this mental capacity will always be at least 2 steps ahead of the game. Women are scientifically proven to be smarter creatures, but men have an unwritten rule book that many women don't have access to. There is a gene encoded in every male that automatically programs the book when they are born. It takes a certain breed of woman to disect "The Male Code."
The way I see it, you can't beat someone at their own game unless you know how to play. Females are sometimes so wrapped up in being bitches, for lack of better words, that they have difficulty dealing with men. What you ladies fail to realize is that males are the least complicated of creatures! They aren't difficult to please, or understand, but you MUST put yourself on their level to understand them.

Tips on getting relatable with males:

• chill with your male friends (sporting events, strip club outtings, etc)
• don't be clingy! give them their space, but let them know you're there
• stay hip to the latest music, no matter the genre
• be able to hold a conversation about a neutral topic
• keep an open mind
• remember you are a lady! share a woman's perspective, but don't be overbearing
• most importantly, be all EARS, but no mouth. [in the words of Domo]

These tips won't guarantee that you will end up one of the honorary fellas. Some females just aren't meant to understand guys because they won't allow themselves to relate. But for those of us who can relate, we got it good. We know that "Niggas ain't shit" doesn't apply to all males, and many of them can be pleased with simply sports, sex, and good conversation. No one wants to be nagged or caught up in childish rumors, but males especially.

Ladies, just try to understand. Carry yourself as a woman, but think like a man.

Battered MEN

Every 38 seconds a man is physically abused at the hands of a woman.

Fellas, please don't think that it can't happen to you. Just like women are subject to abuse, so are you. I just wanted to acknowledge the matter on my blog because so often we hear about women getting beat by their significant other, and we tend to forget about the men that go through the same thing. So be aware, and raise awareness.
