Not that I feel the need to explain anything, but I am releasing this mixtape today as opposed to yesterday (As scheduled). I felt it appropriate to honor Dr. King's Holiday, Memory, and cherish the legacy that comes with all that.
Watch this when you get a chance:
And with that I present a CASSETTE STYLE (DUAL SIDED) MIXTAPE Mixed by MYSELF. Really. Shout out to everything Retro (Dolewite & Scooby present STARLITO "Living in the Past" 2.14.10) . Anything that makes you THINK back to a brighter more promising time. i.e. This Speech, i.e. This TAPE, i.e. I.E. (Inevitable Entertainment) 2k10.
I don't know much more than you. I do know there is much more to know...
Here is the first leak from Dolewite & Scooby presents STARLITO "Living in the Past" due 2.14.10
"Smoking on Haze" http://www.zshare.net/audio/706684297b40daa2/ Every track from the tape will be from 2000 A.D. and prior, as this was before I had thought of being a rapper. (Another Appetizer until the main course "STARLITO'S WAY 3:Life Insurance" 3.13.10)
Enjoy, Happy New Year, & Be Blessed,
IT'S LITO
Also download my entire "What's Love got to do with it?" Mixtape Series

I'VE DECIDED TO CALL THE 3rd INSTALLMENT in the "Starlito's Way" trilogy "LIFE INSURANCE".
Like almost all my album titles, it has a double meaning. First, and obviously, because rap has become a vessel and a means for me to secure the well being of myself and my loved ones. Secondly, because I hope to cause an awakening on the street level, for the young soul that's lost or in search of a better tommorrow but consumed with today. When you're in the streets there are not many guidlines and often times even less guidance. I think as much as we debate health care as a societal issue, we need to press the issue of us young people living this fast life getting LIFE INSURANCE. There is no scarier thought than that of leaving your loved ones with an extra burden other than grief, in the event of an untimely demise. As a scholar, a gangster, a rapper, and a real person, I'm just reaching and hoping that people consume the music for more than just words that rhyme. I beg of you to scroll through the last two SW'S from my catalog. I'm in the same world as you all.

I watched it over, and over, and over again. Honestly, it is the only part of the awards I watched. I have been thinking since 7 a.m., WHAT IF IT WERE THE OTHER WAY AROUND? BEYONCE WINS, AND EMINEM STORMS THE STAGE TO SAY THAT TAYLOR SWIFT SHOULD HAVE WON.
I think everyone, well MIDDLE AMERICA, would've giggled, gotten over it, and probably argued Taylor Swift's case. Awards, and especially award shows don't really make that much sense to me. 2 of the last 3 awards I've won for my music were not even presented (2008 OZONE, 2009 SEA). Once because of a fight between two rappers, and another time because all efforts were being made to accomodate a rapper from abroad (Industry ass-kissing, gotta love that <---SARCASM). Granted, neither of those were the VMAs, but the only thing I saw wrong was the means by which Mr. West went about it. His award show antics/tirades are expected at this point, but he actually TOOK the mic. I'm sorry, but that is HILARIOUS!!!
ICING ON THE CAKE: Nashville's own newspaper, THE TENNESSEAN, (FAMOUS FOR MAKING ME ELIGIBLE FOR BET'S American Gangster SERIES, with a November 2007 cover story, cites Kanye as having a real issue with the city of Nashville. WOW!
I think he had an opinion. MTV further validated his opinion by awarding Beyonce with video of the year, later in the evening. Which speaks to the award show BS, how can it not be FEMALE video of the year if it is the video of the year?
sidebar: NEW LIFE Record Store in West Nashville (no pun intended), has their sign read "KANYE WEST SUCKS"
OH WELL, in the words of the late great 2pac "LIFE GOES ON"
-I still listen to 808s -I think Beyonce had a better video -I still think our local paper drops the ball and is far too opinionated for the sake of journalism -and I still don't watch TV, because advertisement is at a higher quality standard than the actual program.
"I like this beat so I leaped on it..." You know how it goes. I hear it, I like it, I kill it. I actually stabbed myself in the leg before I recorded this, or maybe I dreamed I did. Anyways the follow up to "I Love You Too" is coming soon and it's called "I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH!!!" (I know right). Until then check this out, and stay tuned for a GRIND HARD FILMS exclusive with my new single and scene from my upcoming movie later this week. I do the middleman, I do it. I do it.

I'm in the lab, and I'm feeling good about this music stuff. Maybe it's because Basketball is pretty meaningless right now. I would like to applaud this year's MVP, Lebron James. (even his puppet was cooler than Kobe's in the Nike Commercial).
I'm actually kind of sad, distraught even, over the Cavs untimely exit from the NBA Playoffs. I thought writing about it would make me feel better. I was wrong. Reflecting is actually sort of painful. Especially considering that Kobe is still in the Playoffs. I'm not hating, just applauding good marketing and forward thinking from NIKE. I think Nike was preparing to establish Lebron's shoe as brand comparable to the Air Jordan's. Although it took an extra few years for me to actually like the shoe (and actually purchase a pair), it was the coolest thing Nike had since the Air Penny's. (I got the All Black Nike Zoom Lebron 6, by the way).
I say forward thinking because obviously Nike aimed to promote LBJ. Ok, maybe I'm just being partial, or maybe it's because his puppet was more like my ideal self (PSY). [see Video game playing, Bentley driving, powder everywhere (<--Joke, HA!), and Ninety Million Dollars (90) from the company behind the commercial].
Kobe was the coolest when he was playing in Air Jordan's (circa 2003, *T.I.'s "The King's Back" intro plays loud in my head, 'And the Phoenix arose from the ashes...'). Then came Lebron James. Anyways, I'm a Lebron fan to the heart, but I will for the time be riding with the Magic. Because, I want Kobe to be stuck with his three rings from the commercial. Yeah just like that, and in his last All Star he should wear number 20 and apologize at halftime for changing his number if he were even vaguely ego trippin' on some, "...I'm better than Mr. Michael Jeffrey, i mean your airness,sir" BS! PICTURE IT: SHAQ would be standing (4 rings on his hand) with Lebron, Myself (LITO), and none other than Ric Flair as we would be the new four hoursome. Sorry Arn.
I was in Atlanta for that All Star Game, and I just remember hearing 50 Cent's new "Get Rich or Die Trying" album everywhere I went. It's crazy how music connects you to events and memories. I dream of my music tying the loose ends of someone's brains together to remember something (pleasant). Well, aside from the fact that I can recall doing all sorts of CRAZY $#!T while listening to certain music (even that CD), i'd say that preserves music as an ARTform.
Oh yeah, iSHAKELife.
That's from my mixtape "I Love You, Too" download FREE and spread the word.
I will post a Video Blog Entry tomorrow from the studio here in Miami. Until then...
BE BLESSED $tarlito
