Daft Punk and Justice both walk away with a Grammy

The Grammy committee rarely get it right when it comes to the dance/techno music awards. That is until this year, I think that they nailed it this year.

Field 12 reads: Best Dance Recording (For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances. Vocal or Instrumental. Singles or tracks only.) artist up for this award included Give It 2 Me by Madonna and Disturbia by the sexy Rihanna but it was Daft Punk who won there first Grammy after being nominated four other times previously for the award. The also took home the honor of Best Dance Album with Alive beating out greats like Moby and Cindy Lauper.

And Category 94 read Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical(A Remixer's Award. (Artists names appear in parentheses for identification.) Singles or Tracks only.)
This was a little bit trickier but my favorite for the award, Justice pulling it off with Electric Feel (Justice Remix) Justice, remixers (MGMT)

My letter to the President

Dear President Barack Obama,

Congratulations on becoming our nation's 44th president.

I'm writing to say I stand with you on the issue of medical marijuana. Like you said during the campaign, it's cruel for the federal government to waste taxpayer resources raiding medical
marijuana dispensaries in states where medical marijuana is legal.

As you may know, the DEA recently raided several medical marijuana dispensary in California including one in located in South Lake Tahoe, putting the lives of cancer, HIV/AIDS and other patients at risk. It is clear that the agency is ignoring your wishes. I urge you to stand tall and issue an executive order prohibiting federal law enforcement from arresting and prosecuting anyone for marijuana who is following their state's medical marijuana law.

Again, congratulations on becoming the 44th president.

Sincerely,

The People of the United States of America

Film Review: Notorious

What does a Beauty Pageant winning little girl from Boulder and a Black street thug turned rapper from New York have in common. There murders will never be solved.

The streets were crowded as they slowly rolled out of the parking lot and to the corner of Wilshire and S. Fairfax. It was 12:45 when the Suburban came to a stop and the dark Impala pulled along side rolled down his window and quickly firing several shots into the car. 30 minutes later the greatest rapper and one of the greatest storytellers ever to live died leaving behind 2 children, a loving mother and millions of fans

New comer Jamal Woodward does a fantastic job at portraying Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls. A drug dealing who just so happens to turn into the best rapper to ever touch a microphone Brooklyn kid who was abandoned by his father and raised by his mother a strong proud Jamaican woman played beautifully by Angela Basset. It is a rather bias film. I don’t think that Tupac was that big of an idiot but I do believe Lil’ Kim was that sexy and Faith could sing that good.

The film revolves around him growing up and when he finally does he is gunned down. The director George Tillman Jr. captures “the street” with a sense of real-ness missing in most movies today. There will not be a dry eye in the theater at the end even though you already know the ending it does a fantastic job of reveling it at the right time and the right way. Not to soon and not to late.

A must see for any Hip Hop / Biggie fans. 4½ out of 5 pot leaves. Loved it
