Diddy Has a New Movie.

Diddy, the dude from Superbad and the English Comedian... Might be funny Diddy is playing himself, the dude from Superbad is fat and funny. The English Comedian is doing what he wants can he act is the question?

I Am Not My Phone!? Am I?

If you’re on Twitter, Facebook or whatever online social network, you might come across #teamblackberry and #teamiPhone messages, which are often just appreciative expressions towards the device that keeps people connected to the rest of the world, whether it be by calls, text, PING, email, or Internet.

Some online socializers take it to another level… I describe as playful and virtual ‘beef’ à http://twitter.com/#search?q=teamblackberry

It’s given that phones are definitely more than just communication devices these days…though now the choice of which phone…is apparently more than just a choice…

But is it a lifestyle yet? Can you be defined by your phone?

Do you ever have those moments where someone spots your phone and asks what phone it is? Sometimes the question just hits you out of the nowhere…just to make conversation.

Chances are people don’t ask to judge you by its brand, but really wonder what phone you have, or need inspiration in their search of a new phone….right? You might’ve been there yourself, I know I have…

Answers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and HTC seem to trigger a quite neutral response and the conversation will most likely continue as usual. However, my Blackberry seems to have the ability to raise people’s eyebrows towards their hairline, or produce ‘Oh you’re one of them’ faces.

Wait! Forget faces, some people go IN and hit you verbally too… For real, what’s THAT all about?

I know I love to exaggerate, but it seems like a big ‘Agha!!!’ As if this piece of info gives you the power to figure me out? Apparently my choice says it all: I gave in to the hype, want to be down with the ‘cool kids’ or just want to PING around the world. All not true, but let’s be honest here… BBM is DEF is an awesome feature! FACT: iPhone now has pmessenger, no judgment, but need I say more!?

I think these brands should have a sticker: WARNING this phone comes with a big ‘JUDGE ME’ stamp on your forehead!

All I wanted was a phone that had certain requirements like… BUTTONS, an absolute must! All touch screen and I do NOT go together.

Why? Well call me lazy, where I call it efficient and exploiting my femanine multi tasking skills…. I like to email, or text while being able to look at something else. Touch screen is cute, but doesn’t allow me to do that flawlessly. Hence, one of the main reasons why I don’t have an iPhone!

Mind you, I have nothing against the iPhone, or Apple, for that matter. Although I do think it’s more focused on the visual aspect than its functionality… but that’s a different point, different story than the one I’m telling here J

Ok, that suggests that there is a point here right? Right! Oh snap!?

Ok Ok, what I’m saying is that I looked into specific features to find the phone that’s right for me, not the brand per se. This search says a lot about me, so I guess the actual phone does too.

You can’t determine this based on the sight of me pulling out a BB though… The way I use my phone says a lot more than the device itself.

Gosh, I’d like to think that I matured enough not to make choices based on media frenzies, or the masses by now?

My phone says I like functionality, mobility, accessibility/ease of use, tangibility and staying connected for business and personal stuff…. Oh and it hopefully screams ‘I HATE touchscreen!’

What does your cell phone say about you?

With LOVE,

RANDOMAINEE à CD Memories

Sooo I was just going through my CD rack to rip some music and put it on my phone...aka my portable music library....aka my survival kit. You know...just to have enough music and music variety to entertain me during my LONG daily commuting journeys. Or... come to think of it...I zone out and listen to music whenever I'm outside by myself!

Anyway! Point being:

I came across so many CDs and songs that I absolutely love, but hadn’t played in ages, because I simply didn't remember them...and I just started smiling --> : )

Suddenly I had this feeling, more of an urge really, to buy more music, more CDs!
Nah uh...no downloading, no copying, no ‘Yooo, you got that new [insert artist here] album, son? Lemme get that rite quick’, none of that.

Just old school 'Go the store and flip through CDs...pile up everything I like in my arms, while I stroll between racks...Maybe ask the people at the counter if I can listen to some of 'em....then make a selection of CDs I’ll actually buy that day, which probably means I'll put half of it back...mostly ‘cause of financials, lol!

Finally, go to the register...stand in line...doubt whether to trade 1 of the CDs in my hands for another one that didn't make the selection...Just go back & forth in my head, until the person in line behind me says...'Miss, it's your turn' and the sales person looks at you like 'Doohhh, pay attention and stop slowing down the line'...but still smiles and asks 'Were you able to find everything you were looking for?'

As I leave the store...I might do some more shopping, ‘cause yeah well, I’m already out there anyway, so why not? BUT as soon as I sit down, either on the subway, on the couch, or on the floor close to the CD player... I pull out the CDs, rip off the cellophane and take out the booklet to look for my favorite song and scan through the lyrics to find that one sentence I could never seem to hear quite right...

*sighs*
Pure happiness! As I dig into my memory for the melody and start to sing in a whispered voice

It reminds me of all those occasions when I'm in a club and hear all of these amazing, but long forgotten songs...thinking...'Ohh I should really remember this one and download it when I get home'. But as soon as I get home, I just go to bed and will have forgotten all about it by the time I wake up the next day : s

See...now if I had bought the CDs back then...I could just go through my CD rack every now and then, like I did just now.

I wouldn't need to hum melodies, hoping that I’ll remember some of the lyrics, so I can Google the name of the song and finally discover who the artist is.... Or you know when you go around asking friends and family ... ‘Hey do you remember that song we used to vibe to...something like...’ and then just make a total fool out of yourself, because
a. you can't sing
b. you don't know the lyrics
c. You’re tone deaf and you couldn't produce a decent hum, even if your life depended on it
d. all of the above
e. other....

OR...

Ok ok, let me just wrap this up and go back to work!

My conclusion: Music is fantabulowesomeliciousness, and your favorite song is timeless. Even if it’s total crap to anyone else, it has the ability to take you on a trip down memory lane. Your first school dance, your first sleepover, your first love, your first kiss....and seconds, thirds, fourths too of course.

Therefore you should always buy the music you like, or at least write down the info, so you'll remember what to download AND most importantly... I just gave myself another 'valid' reason to shop!

If you see me in these streets alone...you can always try to holla,
but I just might not hear you...I'm in Music LaLaLand : )

We All Need A Good Laugh, Ultimately!

The Chris Brown & Rihanna situation is no real laughing matter but, Affion Crockett takes us there with his own rendition of "Run This Town" entitled "Who's Going to Hunt Chris Brown Tonight? " You can you can see glimpses of brilliance rarely in the industry today but, when you see it you have to spread the word. In a world of copy cats there are only a few true unaltered and unflinching stick to their guns type of people. AFFION CROCKETT is that no just for his humorous impersonations, and witty remarks, its because of his ability to make touchy subjects a bit more tangible.

He is on the rise and will not lose.. He gets the Reckless Stamp of Approval!

WE CANNOT GET RECKLESS ALONE

Our Boy Kanye Strikes Again!!!

By: Devin F. Reckless

Kanye West is taking his foot out of his mouth once again... We have exclusive video from the VMAs so check it out..

MTV Shows

Before the 3 step break down... Look at Taylor's puppyface.. I cannot stop laughing..

1) Ok now what video was he watching? Beyonce's video was good not her best one ever..

2) What does Kanyeezy really know about making videos. He almost single handedly destroyed Drakes career with "You the Best's" titty fest. I don't dislike the video because I am a dude but still!!!

3) This is not a good move the chick Taylor Swift or what ever her name is was 17. LOL @KatyPerry said "Fuck you Kanye its like you stepped on a kitten" LOL ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

4) Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

5) Country music has a lot of clout in the industry. If you don't know now you know The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 592,304 copies in its first week, the best first-week sales for a female artist in 2008. Fearless became the first album to sell one million copies in 2009,^[2] selling 1,608,000+ copies since January 1.^[3] The album produced four top 10 hits - "Change" (#10), "Love Story" (#4), "Fearless" (#9) and "You Belong with Me" (#2). The album has also produced six top 20 hits, including "You're Not Sorry" (#11) and "White Horse" (#13). The official lead single has become the biggest hit of Swift's career, enjoying domestic and worldwide success. The album topped the Billboard 200 for 11 non-consecutive weeks and topped the Billboard Top Country Albums for 22 non-consecutive weeks. The album will be re-released with 6 new songs on the 27th of October.

Really I think Kanye might be on something, Cocaine is a hell of a drug that he might be on and did a few lines with Amber Rose. Consider this if he didn't get on and leave for a white girl would a black girl would have let him do that dumb shit. Look at the end of the VMA's Beyonce got Jay in check, he didn't even entertain Lil Mama when she came out on stage after the performance was done..

#Reckless Note to Self Lil Mama gets all the exposure in the world and continues to move in the wrong direction.. Damn DAmn Damn..

Yet Beyonce throws Kanye under mad busses on the Taylor Swift call out to finish her speech. Which was pretty funny I thought, if it was such and important event her winning the award then MTV wouldn't have ushered her off the stage the way they did. I saw her performance as well how corny but, this is what White America finds most important not being the Cheerleader and liking cute guys. So do Black teens in the same extent so she is relatable.

I got a good laugh from Kanye every now and again.. I still rock with your boy and this won't hurt him too much. He won't loose his "White Cred" for this one. I had to blog this to keep up with current events and Kanye did release a statement.

“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!”

Also in Kanye's defense I think the main person in his life who kept him grounded and somewhat humble was his mother. He doesn't have her any more which for me is a tragic loss and I cannot even imagine what he went through.

To Prove my point the Juggernaut Kanyeez has a softer side.. I have always said this, and kind of act the same way at times; you have to understand that this is all a game you need your image/ poker face. Humble pie isn't that tasty but it should be part of a diet.

This is an Approved Blog brought to you in part by Reckless Entertainment and President Devin F. Reckless.

Do We Think Hov is H-OVER?

Hov is back again this time for the long awaited "Blueprint 3". Reckless is anticipating another classic from Mr. Carter. Yet his last two albums haven't faired so well. This time he won't be ROC'in with Def Jam either, if you haven't been up on your hip hop news Jay announced on Dec. 24, 2007 that he wouldn't be the President of Def Jam and that ended Jan. 1st 2008. He moved on to form Roc Nation which is said to be a complete entertainment company or "360 ent. co. They will be dropping this album "The Blueprint 3" on an infamous day, you've guessed it September 11th 2009. With an exclusive distribution deal with Rhapsody which raises all kinds of eyebrows of is Sean Carter the business man up to something that the world isn't ready for? Leaving Def Jam, to form "Roc Nation" and the passover of a heavyweight distributor i-Tunes for Rhapsody. He might just be the most intelligent rapper businessman to ever grace the Earth!

RECKLESS ANSWERS THE TOUGH QUESTIONS!!

Will this generate sales?

I want to say for sure, the free concert for "charity" is brilliant. Not only will it generate free promotion for the albums release, its great press. If he releases a not so hip hop single Jay-Z might get that crossover audience that launched Weezy Baby to the top of the charts.

Is the new Roc Nation a big enough force in the industry?

Well you better believe it, you have one of the biggest names in hip hop backing your company you use to just do concerts with artist and some promotional events now your looking like a major player. Live Nation is stepping their game up, yet they are no slouches! They are a major player in any concert that was huge lol.. Literally they are the world's leading live music company. Connecting 67 million fans with hundreds of the industry's top performers at over 330,000 events since 2005. Those kind of numbers are Reckless!!

Is hip hop still alive and spending in the stores to prove it?

Well sales have been down since the digital download age and bootleg kings. The only hip hop act to tip the scales in a major way was Lil Wayne with the Carter III and Kanye West with Graduation Day and 808 & Heartbreak that caught on a little later. Wayne is on his crossover chase and Kanye is Hov's little bro I would say the "Blueprint 3" will sell and sell strong. Platimnum first week ahhhh.. I don't think so but hey 400,000 is more realistic mark. If it goes Gold First week it will max out at 2 Mil in a 3-5 week span, Mark Your Boy's Words!!

Will Hov come out stronger then Wayne?

This will be the response to "The Carter III" for sure. Hov knows it, we know it, and the world knows it. If he doesn't show up on this it might be over for the old man. Yet word on the street is he has back up, handfuls of features and bottles of crack from producers like Timberland and Kanye West. Lyrically Hov has the edge but Wayne's creativity is undeniable, and that makes the world question if Jay still has it in him to shush the critics. He will and needs to bring back the throne to the East Coast.. The Blueprint 3 if strong as we anticipate will solidify and silence the debate. I cannot wait to see because if it doesn't we will be "Cutting Ass" no rainbow. Early! Remember when people use to say EARLY to emphasize things LOL.

The Main Single is "Run This Town" Feat. Kanye West & Rihanna

Feeling the Al Qaeda Cameos and Look.. Thats the new Reckless look for the club. I think we are bringing that back for the winter. You can be like us.

Its great to have money and connections. Hov has both. A huge black book of contacts so he will be fine, with our without this album. So guess what I hope its hot for the sake of Hip Hop we need the balance Soulja Boy's pop rap, Weezy's random drug references, and Hov's strangle hold on the game. Jay-Z is the best rapper of all time; if I or you want to admit it! No way Hov is still doing it and were glad he didn't retire!

If you like our Blogs then tell a fucking friend!!

Last Train To Paris

Diddy is coming out with a new album... Usually that might be followed with a sigh.. Like Diddy is coming out with a new album with a smug "greeaaattt". This time might be different. I don't personally feel that way but the people I surveyed via We Are Reckless twitter page don't share the energy for the music mogul/performer/singer. Maybe it might be the fact that peoples favorite acts for example Danity Kane, B5 or any other act signed under Bad Boy cease to exist. Yet with all that said I still like Sean P. Diddy Combs and I happen to think that he has assembled another album with great team. He will not be going at this alone or with other mediocore Bad Boy rappers like his prior albums, instead he brings along ex- Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard and songwriter Kalenna Harper.

The group is called "Dirty Money" I don't have any clue what that means nor could we reach Diddy for an interview. Yet when we get our advanced copy from our inside sources we at Reckless Entertainment will give it the Reckless stamp of approval. We have to "Stay Positive" according to Diddy, P. Twitty or what ever he is officially calling himself so we will. The cut Reckless got in advance "Angels" and we are sharing it with the world you hear it here first.. Fuck MTV lol. Nah just kidding they cut my checks
