An Ode to Lindsay Lohan

What's up people? It's already July which means that 6 months of 2010 are already over and we have just started the first month of the remaining 6. The year is flying by super fast, but the one thing that has me making a blog entry right now is LINDSAY LOHAN. What the heck happened to this girl? I had the illest crush on Lindsay since that movie that she starred with Tyra Banks in as a kid. My crush on her continued when she played in "The Parent Trap" and way after I got older and hit puberty, she made me want her even more after her transformation from nerd girl from Africa to the new hottie from the Plastics crew in the movie "Mean Girls."



Heck, I even thought she looked pretty hot in her "Rumors" music video from her album "Speak."


But in the last few years, Lindsay just like her career have gone downhill: from snorting coke, to her numerous DUIs, now she's about to get locked up for 3 months.



I sure hope Miley Cyrus doesn't follow in her footsteps cause that girl's getting PAID right now and I'd hate to see her career get ruined over cocaine and alcohol. Why Lindsay? WHY?

My Superman Complex - Why I lead a double life

When people ask me who my favorite super hero is I tell them Superman. When when they ask me why, I say because he saves people. He is an alien from another planet who was sent to Earth as a baby by his birth parents as his home planet Krypton was was being destroyed. His parents knew that he would be considered a "god among men" when he arrived to Earth with powers and abilities no regular man would have, yet they sent him to be raised by humans who would raise him as their own child and teach him morals as he grew older. His birth parents wanted him to use his powers to prevent the destruction of Earth at the hands of man. They didn't want the fate of Krypton (destruction caused by war) to be the fate of Earth. As Clark Kent, Superman's secret identity, he is a mild mannered news reporter for the Daily Planet in Metropolis. Whenever trouble or danger is near, he disposes his disguise to reveal Superman to the world and stop crime and other disasters wherever they may be. Superman uses the Daily Planet as a way of knowing what is going on in the world.




I am a journalism major in school. I want to know what is going on in the world so that I may be able to use my talents to help make a difference in this world wherever or however I can. I want to rescue those in danger. That's why I am SoloStar. That's why I do what I do. I want to use my talents (music and the gift of rhyme) to speak to people. Whether they take my advice or not is up to them, but I won't stop saying what I have to say until I see a drastic change in society. I have what I like to call a "Superman Complex." Journalist by day, motivational lyricist (because I am not just a rapper) by night.

It's Already June?

Time really flies doesn't it? I made a return to the booth a few days ago to record some songs after a 10 month hiatus. I almost forgot everything it took to make 1 song! I will be posting videos of my tracks on youtube, and then here like this one I recently recorded featuring my boy Space b. It's our take on Wale's "Pretty Girls."



I also had the pleasure meeting up with one talented young lady who can sing her heart out. She goes by the name Brittnee Camelle. I met her sometime last month at my job, and then at our Alma Mater's 2010 graduation. Here's Britt's first video:



We got the chance to meet up today and get a feel for each other's style of music and how we do what we do for our love of music. After our session today, she tweeted

"Had a great meeting/chill session with @SoloStar. Dope MC and humble person. Lets get it B!!"

Let's get it indeed Britt!

Be on the lookout for the heat Brittnee and I are about to bring to y'all! You better get ready! Be sure to follow her on twitter @MissCamelle.

Why Destroy Someone's Life for Wealth?

SMH is all I have to say.



We all know crackheads exist, but these guys take pride in having the ability to destroy someone else's life for internet popularity, or e-fame. One dude was smart enough to cover his face up, but the others might as well wave their social security cards and driver's licenses in the camera if they were just gonna snitch on themselves. Speaking of snitchin', five years or so ago, the "stop snitchin" movement was prominent among the hip hop community. Rappers where the main ones advocating the movement but those were the ones who were doing the most snitching. If you like hip hop, then I'm sure that you know which rappers snitch on themselves by constantly reminding us about the amount of drugs they used to sell, can still sell, and probably would sell if they weren't rapping. Whether it was because they're entertainers and they're just giving their audience what they think they wanna hear, or they actually lived that lifestyle and they're just snitching on themselves because they don't care who's listening. It's not just the drugs, they snitch about guns they may or may not have too. What I never understood was why do people keep doing it? You snitch on yourself, cops watch you, and you get caught when you do exactly what you say you would be doing while you were snitching on yourself in a song. Take T.I. as an example. TIP is a legend; one who got busted for buying SMGs and was placed on house arrest after doing community service. Why? Because he wasn't careful. Much like this dude, who thinks it's cool to be a dope boy and snitch on himself about his lifestyle:



Stop Snitchin', even if it is on yourself.
As a matter of fact, let's all just stop the illegal nonsense and do the right thing. If not for yourself, then do it for your people, and your family. I'm sure dealers and gangstas would love for their children to fall victim to the lifestyle they live and just become another statistic...
So please DO THE RIGHT THING, and let's not fall victim, word to The Canz

I'm proud to call Queens my home

I'm proud to be from QUEENS, NY. Q-BORO STAND UP!!! as my girl EffBaybee aka @NayaMillz tweeted on Twitter "Funny how hollis been my designated choice of hangout all last week. Now its on wshh. Hollis burger."
I was born in Flushing Queens, and lived in Hollis for 7 years until moving to Glen Oaks and living there until I was 16 and moved to Georgia. Every time I go back home to visit NY I take a quick stop in Hollis to reminisce on my days living at my Grandparents house on the corner of 187th place and Jamaica Ave. Next time I visit, I will be sure to hit up Hollis Burger
