The King is Back!!! T.I Trouble Man; Heavy is The Head (review)

Good morning guys!
2012 is about 2 weeks away from being behind us and if the said apocalypse actually does take place on the 21st, we can rest in the knowledge that we lived to enjoy some of the best hip-hop tunes ever made! 2012 has been an exceptional year for hip-hop music, rappers really did some good work and released loads of quality material, the most recent of which is the new album by the King of the South, T.I!!! Trouble Man; Heavy Is The Head is the King's 8th studio album set to be released (officially) on the 18th of this month. Thankfully however, someone felt there was no point waiting that long and decided to leak it 5 days early. I had the album on repeat all day yesterday and I have to say it has to be among the best hip-hop albums I have ever heard. I have to say I desperately needed to listen to some quality hip-hop especially after the disappointment of Wiz Khalifa's O.N.I.F.C ( story for another day) . My friend and I sat in awe as we listened to one potential hit after another. Basically, everything on the album has the potential to become a smash hit. The Album features a host of artists only of the highest caliber including R Kelly, Cee-Lo Green, Akon, Andre 3000, Lil Wayne and Pink. T.I went hard on the this project. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate this album as an 8.9. I am definitely tipping him to win multiple awards next year....assuming we make it till then that is ;)

Democracy 1-0 Intellectualism

Reacting to the result of the most recent referendum in Britain where they have voted to leave the European Union, I'd like to point out a positive lesson that is being ignored in the wake of the development. I am talking about the sheer honesty of democracy, albeit working against apparently superior reasoning. It is yet another example of how democracy takes power from the so called superior minority and places it in the palms of the vast and mostly ignorant majority, to do with it as they will. The people have spoken and history has been made. Whether it will be for better or worse is only a question of time. This brings me to the issue that is weighing on my mind today. The right to Self determination is one of the core liberties of the individual as well as the society at large. If a person or people have that right taken away from them either blatantly or via proxy, such a person or people are automatically robbed of the imagination and courage required to develop themselves...

How long till the future? Like most people, I am scared of the future and what it holds for me. I came to the realisation today that I am more worried about my "future" than about anything else, even death. I think modern day man has found a way to circumvent that bit of worry. Isn't it odd that we stay worrying about a time we are not certain to see? while trying so hard to ignore the cold fact of life which is that at some point between now and some distant "future" we are all going to die.  The subject of death is a very touchy one, nobody wants to dwell on the thought of the most unavoidable stage in all our lives, because it'll just bring everyone down and what's the sense in that right? It is totally out of our control so leave it alone. But I find that coming face to face with that bit of reality goes a long way in putting life into perspective if one is in need of that. Death makes us think about an even more important subject that we tend to be ...

Sabali!!

The most rampant phenomenon in this fast paced world we live in today, is the absolute lack of patience in most people. It is in everything, some of us are too impatient for traffic so we drive way too fast, we are too impatient to eat healthy so we prefer instant noodles, we are heading to the future so damn fast, we don't care what composites our present. I am a typical example of this madness but lately, I have been learning about patience. It is a wonderful feeling to not be in a hurry, the problem is that we have somehow managed to convince ourselves that the only way to be successful or happy is by doing it first! It is a scam. Life teaches us, along with time that a true sense of fulfilment does not depend on the when but the what and the how well. As a victim of the Nigerian tertiary education system, I know firsthand what it feels like to not be in control of one's own progress at a certain time in life. I spent the greater part of the last two years at home because of...
