The Year of the Indie Rapper

2010 was actually a decent year for music. Wit Atlanta still controlling the rap game and makin hits for the club rats to party to, alot of new and up coming rappers forged a name and expanded their audience to include the non-hipsters.


#1 - CURREN$Y


Former roster member of Cash Money & No Limit, Curren$y made a name for himself this year gettin heavy rotation on MTV and headlining the Smoker's Only TOur wit Big K.R.I.T, DZA, and Nesby Phipps..One of the better lyricist [in my opinion] Spitta continues to put out mixtapes and CDs in rapid succession...Make sure to check out Smokee RObinson, 24 Hour Flight School by Ski Beats ( which features Tabi Bonney), Pilot Talk 1 & 2...u guaranteed to join the JET LIFE fandom ...


#2 WIZ KHALIFA
Pittsburgh native Wiz made a dent in pop(& pot) culture when he released one of the best mixtapes of the year, Kush & OJ...Yet to release his debut album but he u never know he never had a major LP out yet...his fan base is strong...lets see wat the future have to hold from da head of da TAYLOR GANG

....shit straight out of a movie

... Aight Im not a well-traveled dude to be honest. I have been blessed to lay my head in the great cities of Baltimore (hometown), ATL, and Frostburg, MD. Recently i had the opportunity(& $$$)to go to NYC to parlay and bullshit...no agenda just off the random...on the day of my trip (5/19)...i woke up and shit was clicking...i packed my overnight bag, went to my job @ BWI, got my check, went downtown in BMore and cashed it. I stopped in Urban Outfitters and grabbed this hoodie I had my eye on...rolled to Houlihan's in da harbor and indulged in sum hot wings & a beer (the hotwings sucked btw. haha)...i met up wit my best friend and one of my closest homegirls from hs and we went to my homegirl apt(she recently moved)..we had a quick session before we had to rush to the bus stop...i got there a lil early...i was headed to NYC (the only other time i been was 7th grade smh)

... if I knew wat my night would entail i woulda caught a couple of hours of shuteye but Pandora and pointless tweets ensued smh...twitter actually was useful cuz soon as i caught a glimpse of the NYC skyline i noticed on twitter that Tabi Bonney(DC Artist) tweeted that him and Curren$y would be givin a show in Tribeca that nite...i HAD to GO (it was the reason for the NYC trip originally; was canceled)..well i hit Tabi up on twitter and told me the show was starting @ 10...it was 7 when i hooked upw it my homie Cat in Manhattan...I took in the sites while my homie screamed at tourists for walkin too slow and almost gettin hit by cars smh...we pondered on where to eat and finally landed on BBQs....i had a big dumb ass pineapple Ciroc drink (even tho its had me shitfaced in the past...only live once right? haha) and sum BBQ honey wings...shits was good...after dinner we rolled down to Fulton Ave. to meet up wit my homie SOUR DIESEL connect( no NYC trip aint complete w/o it haha)...all this time im lugging around my overnight bag so we decided to head to the place where i was suppose to stay that nite to chief and juice up our phones but the hotel was shutdown by police cuz when we got there the shit was padlocked smh...so we said fuck it lets just head downtown to the concert...after a few wrong turns(before we were chiefed up) we finally was able to roll up n get down to Tribeca (where the party was at)...we arrived to see a lil line...we go up and then shit go a lil weird...sum drunk girl at the door was being semi-petty but me and my homie Cat turned on our stoner charm and was able to gain entrance to the party...we go in to see a loft full of hipsters standing around(wit the smell of sour filling the air but nobody was smoking?)...after scoping the scene me and Cat ended up in the pinp pong room charging our phones(random, right? haha)..while playing the most amateur ienbriated game of ping pong sum random ass dude started to rap to my homie Cat but she was on her best NY bullshit haha...after 15 min. of friendly banter yo finally showed his tru colors and told us he was a performer and he had sum song on Madden ( note to yall: Who is Izza Kizza?!?!?!)..well to move past that..yo told us the concert was goin on in the basement...niggas grabbed our stuff and rolled to the basement...the weed stench got stronger & the temp. went up 20 degrees...it already was hot as a whore in dere...in a back room Curren$y was performin his set wit a live band wit bout 50 ppl in da crowd #dope...we was informed that the house we was in was Dame Dash shit...#exclusive...Curren$y performed a dope ass set (even tho Cat pointed out he was short &looked like Grouch off of Sesame Street...y do girls think about this type of stuff? haha)...we rolled up the sour and added to cloudiness of the dark sweaty room...shit was real chill...at the end of the show Curren$y dapped up everybody and me and Cat dipped at about 2 am...I was suppose to stay the next day and link up wit my homie Shatera but every hotel was booked up (on a fuckin WED. wtf?!?!)...i proceeded to Penn Station and hopped the 3am train back to Baltimore...arrivin at 6am

...my trip to NY = #success...this shit reminded me of the movie Nick & Norah Infinite Playlist haha...i wonder wat other random adventures ill get into this summer when i move back to ATL...stay tuned shor

Is There Any Other Way To Live?

> Be on the lookout for my homie Caesar ( or Philly Phil is wat i call that nigga) up and coming streetwear clothing line soon to be empire City of Savages : Live Free or Die. I met the homie Caesar during our matriculation at the HBCU known as Morehouse College...back then he was just my neighbor from the shitty city of Philly (Baltimore all day- inside joke) haha but now he the founder and CEO of his own ridiculously innovative clothing line...i see big things in the future for this dude...follow him on #twitter @caesarthasavage or @cityofsavages ...his blog is cityofsavages.blogspot.com...check it out and cop sum exclusive shit

Old Video But Still Blog Worthy

So i saw this video a long ass time ago and i thought it was cool that Pharell[my flycon] used Baltimore[hometown] club music in a Louis Vuitton fashion show that he dj'd for....i never thought Baltimore Club would make it outta Bmore let alone outta the country....good shit

Short Hiatus huh?

Soooooooooo...my THC free streak is over like shit. I finally linked up wit my girl Mary Jane last nite and we made sweet love, watched sum movies, smashed sum much needed snacks, and got to do some deep thinkin. I've basically been in a rut for the last year and a half forreal....all because i suffered sum major setbacks that could have been setups. Now i'm tired of being at my own pity party....time to get on my shit. I look at all my friends doin big shit wit their lives[even tho they sometimes dont realize it] and think i need to get back to that point in my life where i was carefree but still on my intellectual journey. So by the end of this year, I vow to be be at school[Frostburg State], have my own apt, a legit phone[blackberrystorm mayb?], and trying to the fly young man that i am suppose to be....Right now, I am 21 years of age and not alot of prospects so now I must make a change in my life. In a few weeks, i'm moving back to ATL....job prospect[wat? its a recession] if that dont pan out then i'ma make moves down there...i think a change of environment is needed for my growth....i cant seem to evolve in Bmore

Personal Hiatus due to THC free days

I dont think i can in good conscious blog without my fav. girl MaryJane seeing as how the blog is called Fully Baked...tryin to stay true to my readers[if i have any lls]....will be back soon [promise!!]

Keepin smokin [i miss it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much lls]

An All-Around Good Day

So today was a good day overall.....i went job hunting this morning which was futile so i ended on the couch listenin to Gucci forreal....went over my bestfriend house...her life could be a soap opera:
Dog named A-100 short of payment-Guy threatens to do bodily harm.
Next door neighbor-One Night Stand-Possible Restraining Order
LOL
I broke my THC-free steak[lasted 8 days]...felt good to get lifted again forreal[i'ma pothead]
I am devising a plan that will solve my financial woes and get me back to school by hopefully June...i dont want to spend the summer in Bmore forreal..i hope my plans works.

Random Thoughts:
"If its ugly, then it must be right."
This is the philosphy that i am goin to follow for all of my clothin purchases for the rest of my life. When i say ugly I'm not talking about the literal definiton..ugly is different. I am tired of everyone in general buying the same clothes and looking the same forreal...niggas need to branch out and find their own creative style...I havent put my philosphy to use since i havent been able
to do real damage at the mall[once again, its a RECESSION!!!] but when i do the world will see.

Hold Up....Bring That Shit Back!

So I jumped into this blog shit without properly introducing myself....so here goes nothing:


Name: Troy

City: Baltimore City, MD

School: Frostburg State University

Major: Biochemistry wit a minor in History

Interests: Gettin Lifted , Fashion , Movies[good&bad] , Technology , Blogging[obviously], and just chillin forreal

Aspirations : To move to a new city sometime soon .. Baltimore is too small.. i'm thinkin LA , Chicago, or back to ATL [@ a little known place called Morehouse College]

Rookies of 09(To Me)

Kid Cudi



A pothead rapper? Finally, somebody i can relate to lol [but seriously]!!. Kid Cudi is one of the brand new faces to hit the airwaves and i fucks wit him [no homo].

My favs: "Day&Nite"[of course], "Maui Wowie"[makes me think about Hawaii for my spring break destination for next year], and the list goes on....i might actually download his whole cd[What? its a recession!!!]....Hope this guy stays around for awhile [even if he doesnt. i'll still be up on his underground shit]


The Cool Kidz
