It's Been So Long Without You in My Life

Clicka One sings, "Whats up mija. Its been a long time since we talked. I just want you to listen. Don't talk just listen."

Whats up fans, It's been a long time since we've been here together. I just want you to read. Don't leave just read. If that isn't desperation then saddle me up and ride me like a horse. Yes Please Do That Anyways!!

Hear ye, Hear ye loyal people of the internet I'm back. I'm new, and I am improved(this is laughable). I missed all of you! Hope you guys like the new layout I'm gonna be working on it a bit as the week goes by. Everyone leave me some comments on improvements, things you'd like to see. We love hearing from you. Join the Facebook group if you haven't already and follow us on Twitter. TheProdigy and I have been working hard on getting this back up and running, and we are looking for new writers as well. If any of you are interested in contributing, please get in touch with us we'd love to have you. Also we are starting a blog about sports this should be dropping soon so check it out. www.southeasternsportsfan.blogspot.com. But now that all of that is out of the way let's wrap up and get started. Yeah! You know what I'm talking about.

First off, HUGE shout out to Swiperboy. My favorite rapper on this planet. The video below says EVERYTHING!

Also my people I have a problem with the current top songs on iTunes. What is that? There is so much excellent music out there, and I don't know if anyone is listening.  For those of you who wanna just see here check it out.

1. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
   any song with the word "teenage" in it written by someone who is in fact not a teenager just reminds me of that awful song "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus.
2. Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are
   once again Mr. Mars proves he's nothing without Kid Cudi
3. Taio Cruz - Dynamite
   This song is terrible on many different levels. Which includes but not limited to: having no words over four letters long, an awful techno beat, and mentioning of "the club" Why is every song about "the club?"
4. Love the Way You Lie - Eminem ft. Rihanna
   Probably the only song on here worthy of its distinction
5. D.J. Got Us Fallin' in Love Again - Usher
   I'm normally a big Usher fan...not this time
6. Take It Off - The Nameless One
   she should not be allowed to make music
7. I Like It - Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull
   Why is he still trying?
8. Just a Dream - Nelly
   Nice song by Nelly, but I'm just not that into it.
9. Mine - Taylor Swift
   the first non R&B single on here...but it's country. not only country but Taylor Swift. She sounds bad all by herself.
10. Magic - B.O.B ft Rivers Cuomo
    Really like these two artists, but apparently when you put them together they sound like a new age Outkast. Which isn't a good thing obviously.

The Best Part: Not a single Nickelback song!

So now that I'm done being a complete jerk, lets move on. Awful lot of good music has hit the radio and record stores the past few months. Lets check some highlights

Good Stuff

Disturbed's Asylum
Synopsis: Their Best Yet Absolutely Amazing
If you're buying One song: Leave It Alone. Which is actually a bonus track, so you need the deluxe version.

Goo Goo Dolls' Something for the Rest of Us
Synopsis: Exactly what you would expect times 1,000,000
If you're buying One song: Notbroken

Papa Roach's On The Record & On The Road
Synopsis: a mixture of new studio music and older live songs. Why are you reading? Go Buy This!
If you're buying One song: Kick In The Teeth


10 Years's Feeding the Wolves
Synopsis: Will make them a big time artist
If you're buying One song: I know this is a cop out but you gotta have two Shoot It Out and Running In Place
