YPRichB: For a music lover like myself the internet is definitely a great resource because it exposes me to artists I wouldn’t normally hear otherwise. I remember hearing Big Sean on a Kanye West mixtape a few years ago on a song called “Getcha Some” but after that I didn’t hear much from him. Fast forward 2 years and I ran across his mixtape “Uknowbigsean”. Needless to say I was very impressed. I truly think Big Sean has the potential to make an impact in the rap world. Check out his profile below and some of my personal favorite songs by him. YPs you won’t be disappointed.

          YPJimH: What am I thankful for? Even though I do not have 1,000,000 dollars in my banking account, or not driving the latest luxury car, have a little more downtime than I would like, I consider myself a lucky man. I am thankful to have a job that helps youth, and gives back to the community that helped made me who I am today. I am thankful to have a place that I can call my own. I am thankful for being able to buy food anytime I would like. That’s big for me, because, for those that know me, they know I am a fat boy at heart…lol. After my injury back in June, I am thankful to be able to walk again. I am thankful every day I am on this earth, because I know at anytime, it can be [click to continue…]

Mario Feat. Big Sean: Before She Said Hi

Mario "D.N.A." album cover.

YPRichB: I recently gave Mario’s newest album “DNA” another listen and it’s definitely worth your time people. Check out what I think will be the next single off the album “Before I Said Hi” featuring Big Sean. The YPs are huge Big Sean fans so mark my words when I say he’s next up. He’s signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music label and should be dropping his debut album “Finally Famous” in 2010. Peep the song and let us know what you think in the comment section.

“I was made to live young and reckless/ but since I saw you I’m trying to find where my breath is/…and already feel gone, and it ain’t cuz what i’m sippin on/ I seen you in my dreamgirls right next to B/ you a dream girl, Christina Milian”

in Good Poems

Happy ThanksGiving YPs!

YPRuck: This poem caught my eye and I thought it was perfect to share with YPs.  I am sure you guys will enjoy this poem as well, the message is simple YPs, “Be Thankful”. 

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know everything,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.
