A Perception of Fresh- "Xavier"

X-MAN

Sorry for the wait folks but the "Perception of Fresh" is back! Here's the latest perception from Cooley Hygh's own "Xavier"! Take a look at what the X-Man had to say......

My Top 5ive albums of all time...

Everywhere I go I find myself listening to music. Either in the car, on the Ipod, or whatever plays music. I came up with a list of the top five albums of all time in my opinion..

Number 5ive: Kanye West College Dropout -

To me one of the best albums if not the best to drop in the 2000's. This album was Kanye's Debut album which almost sold a half a million in the first week of release and is Kanye best selling album so far. Here was one of my favorites song from this classic album: Number 4: Outkast Southernplayalisticadallacmuzik This album right here is definitly a hood classic to say the least. This was also Outkast debut ablum which dropped in 94. This album pretty much started a takeover movement in the south. This album had BANGA after BANGA throughout. PLAYA's Ball is probably one of the best songs off the classic 90's album: Number 3: Eminem Marshall Mathers LP Eminem can be arugably the best rapper ever. This was Eminem second LP, but its was his best LP he released in his very suceessful career. Not only is this the most selling rap album of all time; Eminem is the best selling rapper of all time and I believe this album had something to do with it. This album caused alot of controversy, but it told over 17 million people who bought the album to please stand up... Number TWO: Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt

This album to me is the best rap album ever! EVER! The Lyrics, The overall album is just mindblowing to me. If you havent heard this classic from HOV you need to get out from under the rock you live in and cop this joint. Enough Said cause im "Feelin It": MY NUMBER 1: Michael Jackson BAD I know, I know i switched it up, but cmon how can you not have MJ in your top 5 albums ever. This maynot have sold as many as "THILLER", but I honestly was feeling the BAD Michael. Since this is my number one I have a couple of favorites for this one. Enjoy :).

The Life And Times of T. Hawkins.....

I've come a long way from being just this young child in the picture before hand. I've seen many things, done many things, and will continue to do more as well! I'm finally discovering what I am and what I will be. The future has many things in store for me and I'm ready to approach it head on!

MONSTER....

The track title fits the description of this song! Another good one from Mr. West! You can catch this on Kanye's album as well! Also looking forward to the Jay and Ye collaboration album titled "Watch The Throne"....stay posted.... Kanye West featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj - Monster by Hypetrak

Bad Things/ Good People.......

Why do bad things always happen to good people? Those are the people who most deserve a blessing. GOOD things always happen to bad people though...why exactly is that? They do absolutely nothing to deserve it! I guess god puts GOOD people in those positions to see what they do with it. Many pull it out and I believe that you can too my friend....Sorry to hear that....GOOD luck as well.....won't be the same....

J. Cole – Higher

J. Cole – Higher

The Chi......

I don't know what it is about the Chi but I just can't help wanting to move there! I mean NYC was great but Chicago fits me more! School is the key that will open the door for my future move to the Chi. I'll be there soon enough....that is all.....

My Day OFF....

Man oh man, I am so happy im off of everything tomorrow. No school or work. A day like that deserve rest and relaxation... While maybe a little fun too. I know tomorrow I'm gonna have a Ferris Bueller type day. Kick it with the homies and Chillax.

The Good Ol Days....

Man I sure do wish being a kid! It's like you haven't got a worry in the world. Only responsibilities you had were cleaning up your room and making sure you completed all of your homework before going outside. I'd give anything to re-live those days! Growing up I watched a lot of Nickelodeon and I'm sure many of you did as well! Our newer generation too! From Dora the Explorer down to Spongebob Squarepants! Hey Arnold, Rugrats, All That, & Catdog were a couple of my favorites! The good Ol days....Re-Live your childhood by watching the following Nickelodeon 90s Tribute...

MGMT- CONGRATULATIONS VID....

One of my favorite groups outside of Hip-Hop! They produce a lot of great music! The video takes place in a desert, and its based around a creature they're trying to save who ends up sinking away into the sand. A really good listen! Hope you enjoy the vid and song as much as I did!

Thank You & You're Welcome....

Because of Me.....

Oh girl, what it is, how you doing where you been, I'm in Chi-town city and you're New Yorkin, and this long distance got us coming to an end, and if I knew it would happen I wish we wouldn't have met then/ I feel we're coming to an end though, but it's inevitable and it'll be hard to overcome so, I prepare in advance, if I had another chance I'd give you one last night filled with romance/ Girl lets slow dance, have candle light dinners, stay up all night I'd give you wood with no splinters, but I respect you enough to leave SEX up out the picture, but you and I not together is just a frame without the picture/ Girl picture me and you, in twenty twenty-two, a little boy or girl whose image is just like you or just like me, girl just like we, we could've been until the end but we're not because of me.....ME.....

Hard Dayz Of Work...

This past weekend I started my new job that I've been waiting for all week. The bad thing about this job that its three 12 hours shifts and there all over night. From 5 P.m to 5 A.M. Lucky I pulled it through, but this morning unfortunately I have a class at 9 A.M. this morning; so I really only gotta good 2 hours of sleep.... I feel like I been hit by a train!!! Well at least the check is going to be nice :)

What goes around, comes around....

So I was at Aldi's today doing a little grocery shopping for the week right. I asked this lady could I borrow a quarter to get a shopping cart. She gave me the quarter and we randomly kept bumping into one another the entire time we were in the store. When I arrived at the checkout we conversed a little. This lady had two shopping carts full of groceries!!! After I was ready to pay for my food she came back and bought my groceries for me!!!! I was entirely appreciative for her kind gesture! So I just had to return the favor by helping her pack and load up her car with her food, anything else would've been uncivilized! Just do things out of the kindness of your heart, you'll be rewarded one way or another....GOD IS GOOD.....COOLEY....
