Nobody- Notes To Self

On Repeat- Take II

Drake can't say it any better than he did in this song.

Doing it Wrong- Drake

[Verse 1]
When a good thing goes bad it's not the end of the world
It's just the end of a world that you had with one girl
And she's the reason it happened, but she's overreacting
And it's all because she don't want things to change

[Hook]
So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do
Cause you say you love me, and I'll end up lying
And say I love you too

But I need someone different
You know it, oh ho, you know it
Oh ho, you know it, we both know it
I need someone different
You know it, oh ho, you know it
Oh ho, you know it, we both know it
Something's been missing
You know it, oh ho, she knows it
Oh ho, I know it, we all know it
I need someone different (Oh ho, oh ho)


[Verse 2]
We live in a generation of not being in love, and not being together But we sure make it feel like we're together
Because we're scared to see each other with somebody else

Try and tell me you haven't experienced this at least once in your life...

Blue is Back

For the diehard Toronto Blue Jays fan that I am, you can guess how excited I was for the unveiling of their new 2012 logo. The main concepts were to bring back the look of the '92/'93 winning team, and to finally put the Blue back in Blue Jays. This is seriously such a tease since we won't be seeing any baseball for another five months.

Someone, wake me up in April!

Also, here's an interesting look at the evolution of Blue Jays logos (via the National Post):

The Layover

Wonderwall ft. Big K.R.I.T. (prod. by Mike Posner) by mikeposner

New Mike Posner mixtape dropping November 20th. EXCITED! EXCITED! EXCITED! EXCITED!... that is all.

Happy "Take Care" Day!

As annoyed as I was seeing "Take Care" all over my Twitter timeline when the album leaked last week, I have to show love for our hometown boy, Drake. Take Care finally dropped today and it's nothing short of phenomenal. So get your bums to HMV or wherever else you buy your music... yolo, right?

Take Care featuring Rihanna.

These two do it again with this track. What's My Name was my jam last November, and it's clear Take Care will be my song this year. The Gil-Scott Heron & Jamie XX sample totally puts the cherry on top of an already dope track.

When Work Plays

I spent this past Sunday night with some of the craziest people I've gotten to know over the past five months. It was my work's early Christmas party-- emphasis on early since Christmas is nearly a month and a half away. The whole Toronto Geox district crammed into an adorably tiny Italian restaurant in Etobicoke's Bloor West Village where the evening's conversation revolved around life, and not shoes for once. Pasta rosé, a couple glasses of red wine, and good company made for a really enjoyable night.

We're like a little, multicultural, at times dysfunctional family... but boyyy do I love them <3

"Love After War"

Oh boy, December 6th cannot come fast enough. Those who know me are well aware of my "older man" crush on Robin Thicke. So how excited am I for his new album entitled, Love After War to hit store shelves? Very. This guy is the reason why I love r&b so much; he's got it all-- the voice, the soul, the swag.

Love After War

Pretty Lil' Heart featuring Lil' Wayne

J. and Bey

J. Cole that is...
Since the announcement of her pregnancy back in August, Beyoncé has been on quite the music video dropping binge. Here's the cute video for Party featuring J. Cole. Bey's just about the fiercest lady around, no?

On Repeat

Let's just say Ambition has gotten a whole lot of play-time on my iTunes this week. If you haven't grabbed your copy yet, it's probably in your best interest to pick one up... trust me.

Here's my favourite track:

"her heart's in a cage, 'cuz if you never love you can never hate." -Wale ft. Lloyd, Sabotage
