Your Favorite's Blogger Favorite Blogger - Supastarrr Says
|
This is Costa back again with another post. I told you guys as long as the Pollen Monster is outside I will be inside. This is something new to 1081 Creations called Your Favorite's Blogger Favorite Blogger, what I will do is feature the authors of the blogs that I actually read and find to be dope as hell. There will be several features coming up in the coming weeks so please be patient with me. I want to thank everyone for working with me to put these features together. ALSO I WILL LIKE TO SAY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE VISIT THIS BLOG EVERYDAY, I DO NOT EXPECT EVERYONE TO COMMENT ON ALL OF THE POST BUT PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CHECK OUT THESE FEATURED BLOGGERS AND SHOW LOVE TO LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE APPRECIATED. With that being said the first blogger being featured is Supastarrr of Supastarrr Says.
1) First of I most say that I really enjoy your blog and what motivated you to start blogging?
Thank you! You, EOP, and Infinity run a great blog as well. I love to write but I've never been the type to keep a diary. I figured a blog would be more fun to write about everything that interests me and others.
2) I love your blog slogan "its almost porn," whats the meaning behind the slogan?
I was joking w| Jonathon [of http://www.itsjonathon.blogspot.com/] on Twitter about a catchy slogan when I came up w| that. To me, SupastarrrSays.com has something for everybody, sometimes taboo, and addicting =)
3) What are you doing if you are not blogging?
I have two jobs and I go to school part-time. Aside from that, I love to spend time w| my family and friends.
4) On one of your recent post you presented the question "Wonder why they call you a bitch" and why is it they get called a bitch?
Because they're all the same; carbon copies of the next. The same goes for the "Niggas Are The New Bitches?" posts. Those groups of people are not thinkers and innovators, merely clones of drones living for First Friday so they can stunt w| their whole $287.69 check. I just want them to wake up.
5) On Supastarrr Says you address politics, what are your thoughts on the economy and the job that Obama is doing?
He's trying hard but as urgent as the situation is, I think he needs to focus on one project at a time [whether it be the economy, healthcare, education, etc].

Behind the Minds Eye - Stevo
|
Peace everyone this is Costa bringing you an depth look at one of my favorite emcees Stevo. We are taking a look at his past, present and the bright future he has ahead of him.
1) Stevo whats your story, who is Stevo?
My name is Steven Ragan. I was born September 13, 1986 at a Jackson, Mississippi hospital. I got my name from my god-father Steven Brown. While in Middle school I was threw out the house by my mother because I wanted to see my father and that changed my entire life. I grew more angrily at the way my life was going without my mother or her side of the family. I grew up feeling alone all the time because of it. Me and my father later had a misunderstanding so I started living with high school friends and often people I didn’t know; I felt as if no one care for me anymore and all I really had that I could call mine was music. “U should write about it,” is what a good friend told me and from there instead of crying about my pains, I wrote about them. This is why I sing, this is why I make the songs I make and do the things that I do. Besides, I got tired of hearing the same rotation of music being played on the radio over and over. I felt as if I could pick up a pen and notebook to write my own songs and hear the music that I wanted to hear and so I did.
The creativity that an artist has to create a different and a unique sound, sometimes if someone ever tried to negatively criticize my music and mostly, when I think about all of the things that I’ve been going through, that’s what motivates me to do what I do.
2) What motivates you to do music?
I used to listen to a lot of R-Kelly, Ginuwine , and even Usher for the R&B side, those were my younger days. I actually taught myself how to sing by listening to those guys and try to hit the different notes that they were hitting throughout their songs until I was able to develop my own style. When my life had seemed to get rough, I felt like the world was against me, I started listening to T.I. mostly through high school because I felt like I had to defend myself every time that I stepped off the bus. T.I. taught me not only to defend myself but to look at my situation and how life threw me and get up and try to do something about it. I’ve now started listening to a lot of Drake, to get the poetic and smooth side of me out because I really love to sing as well.
4) What is your thought process when you are making music?
When I’m making music I mostly go off of what or how I’m feeling at the moment. I’ve also been gifted with the talent to hear a type of music and according to what the instruments are playing is where I get my lyrics from. I write according to me and how I’m feeling because I know someone else is feeling the same thing. I don’t have 50 people with me in the studio asking them “does this sound good,” or “do you think people would like this, is it a hit?”
5) What projects are you currently working and where can the 1081 followers get your previous releases?
I’m a fast pace worker, if you hear a song from me saying 2012 and the year is only 2010 then yeah, that’s me. I do all of my work alone. I’m mix-taping right now and have been since 2007. Right now I’m working on my 2012 mix-tape called “2012.” I plan to post some of my latest work on datpiff.com soon and very soon. Even if I have to email tracks to anyone then if that’s the only way the people can get it then let’s get to it, my email is like an interstate do to all the collaborations that I do.
6) Word on the street you play Modern Warfare 2, my kill death ratio is about a 2 : 1.2, whats up with a private deathmatch me, you and EOP?
Yes, I do play Modern Warfare 2 just about everyday. My gamer tag is Ragan6 and I play it for fun or sometimes to get away from stressing out. I’m cool to play with anyone at any time, so add me.
7) Whats next for Stevo, is there anything we need to be on the look out for?
I’m now working with an old high school friend “MAG.” We call ourselves “Sick Muzik Entertainment”, so be on the look out for some more music from me with good quality. If there’s anyone who would like to collaborate with me please feel free to do so, I’m not charging at the moment at all. My email is sragan1@yahoo.com, I’m on facebook, look for Stevo Ragan and my myspace page is www.myspace.com/sragan1 so stop by and show love. Please remember that I’m a regular everyday person just like you, in the words of Drake “please don’t be scared of me.” Thank U

Kenn Starr - The Notti Joint
|
Gearing up for the summer release of his newest mixtape, Kragenoff, Washington, D.C. emcee Kenn Starr is proud to leak the first single, "The Notti Joint." No stranger to the hip-hop scene, Starr, who in addition to his solo work, is 1/5 of D.C.'s Low Budget Crew alongside Oddisee, Kev Brown, Critically Acclaimed, and Cy Young, has been making waves in the hip-hop scene for quite some time.
With this single, Starr is excited to be newly collaborating with the likes of Dave Notti who handled production on the track: "‘The Notti Joint‘ is my first time working with Portland-based emcee/producer Dave Notti. We linked recently and I found his production to be the perfect backdrop to the brand of hip-hop I strive to create and maintain," says Starr. The track features soul sample splicing reminiscent of the late great Dilla, gritty low-fi drums, and a characteristically consistent smooth flow. "The Notti Joint" clocks in at just under 2 minutes but represents the mixtape as a whole quite well according to Kenn, saying, "I felt like this was the perfect straight-to-the-point introduction to what people can expect from my upcoming mixtape." Elsewhere, the Kragenoff mixtape features production from underground heavy-hitters Oddisee, Apollo Brown, M-Phazes, 14KT, Kev Brown, and more.
Furthermore, in addition to the song appearing on Starr's Kragenoff mixtape, you can also find it on Mick Boogie's latest mixtape celebrating his forthcoming Asia tour for Nike. It's based on their "Changemakers" campaign, and features a host of rising emcees bringing originality and quality to hip-hop.
Kenn Starr's forthcoming full-length album, Two Track Mind, will be available via Mello Music Group this fall.

Nintendo DSi XL

Sunday, April 4, 2010
Hello Fam,
It's Infinity back with some breaking news! As you all may know the Nintendo DSi XL was released on Sunday, March 28th. I was one of the lucky Black Americans that was able to pre-order and pick it up 1st on its release date!
Special Thanks to EOP for talking me into doing something nice for myself I haven't regretted the $ spent yet!!!!
I'm sure many of you feel that you could care less about a handheld Nintendo because it isn't mature enough for you but I beg to differ. This game system is more for adult's than it is for kids because not only does it have 2 digital cameras but it also has a web browser that uses wifi, a media player, a SD card slot, you can download games to it and not to mention the best thing of all the screen size is 93% larger than the Nintendo DSi & the DS Lite. That was a mouthful and I'm sure you guys are wondering what the price is well... GameStop is currently running a special 189.99 w/o trade in 129.99 w/ ds lite trade in & 99.99 w/dsi trade in. The only drawback is the loss of the game boy advance slot but being that you can download fav's like Dr. Mario & Bejeweled Twist who needs Super Mario Bros. 3? ;) Oh yeah it only comes in 2 colors for now Burgundy & Bronze (which actually looks Brown)
Here's a link to the cnet review for you techies out there who just need more specs:
