Crazy.Collective.Cool.

Hey wassup everybody. Lately, the only way I could describe my life is in three different categories. These categories describe the way I have been feeling in the past months, and I am going to reveal and vent on this blog update if that is fine with you all.

Crazy
Crazy is for those people who thought it was funny to think they are above anyone and judge others who are different than themselves. To ridicule over 25 different people and half of the statements given being negative is wrong. But who am I to judge. Crazy is for all those people who thought it was funny to purposely hurt someone and not apologize for it. For all of you have a problem and won't seek professional help. Crazy is for those times when I doubt the human civilization's choice in music and sanity. Crazy is for those people who enjoy the song "stanky leg", which is very demeaning and shows how far away from the classic music styles of the greats that have come before such as : Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holliday, Ray Charles,and many other African-American musicians that have defied the odds. Crazy is for those people who call people out of their names. "White" referring to an African-American who withholds themselves in a proper manner. "Lame" or "Dumb" even "Retard" showing how unsympathetic our society is towards the mentally unstable. Crazy is for this year so far, which hopefully will turn it's ways around.

Collective
Collective is for those hard times in which you must keep your composure when feeling insulted in front of other people. Colletive is for a debate that you know you have won and the opponent swears to differ. Collective is for those times that you can't make out what emotion you feel but you know your feeling something deep down inside. Collective is for those days, you wish weren't days, but only mere moments in your life that you could pass by. Collective is for secrets that tear into your soul because they have been kept long. Collective is what it takes for you to wake up every morning and create a phony expression of happiness for the world to see. Collective is what it takes for you to keep when you walk past and you feel your name whispered in another person's ear. Collective is the fake way you withstand the constant fatal blows that life strikes you with.

Cool
Cool is when a girl finally realizes that it's not about the dread-head, with sagging pants, but about the future lawyer or doctor that's going to make a difference. Cool is when a 5 year old figures out how to ride a bike without training wheels. Cool is when a celebrity gets an award and when they accept the award the first words that comes out of their mouth is "First I want to thank God". Cool is for those times where you could've went in two different directions and you choose the road less traveled. Cool is for those times a teenager makes the right decision. Cool is when someone gives their time for a cause like: cleaning communities, helping the homeless, and even assisting the elderly. Cool is when you have time to sit and feel the cool wind breeze against your cheek. Cool is when you hear a song on your iPod,Mp3, or Radio that you can relate to. Cool is when the word "Love" is used and is really meant. Cool is when you can fall asleep and there are no worries in your life. Cool is when you bypass the day without a scar or any physical pain. cool is when you can say Thank You, Hear Thank You, and Watch the word Thank You form in someone's mouth. Cool is when someone gives someone money and doesn't expect to be payed for. Cool is when someone offers help for no exact reason at all. Cool is when girls give the guy in the corner time of day. Cool is when a guy can be straight up with a girl and not cheat on her. Cool is when someone realizes that Jesus is the Christ. Cool is when people spell music with a "q" because it adds soul or retrospective. Cool is for all the things "Lame", "Retarded", "ugly". Cool is when someone realizes their "Perfect-Imperfections" that they were given by God. Cool is for all the things that are different in everyday life.

Crazy.Collective.Cool.

'Til Death Do Us Part

Hey wassup people.
Well today I was thinking back on things. But first let me tell u what happened. Well my aunt has been in the hospital for about 2 weeks because she had cancer in the arm. Well yesterday they decided to put her on life-support, and we had a family meeting at my grandma's house after I got out of skool and it was about 25 people there and they told us about the life support, but they decided hours before to take her off and they said she would die in a few weeks,days, or months, and about 30 minutes later the doctor called and said she died. It kinda got to me cause that was like my favorite aunt, but life goes on and eventually people will get over it. But anyways on a better note, Valentines Day is coming up and I have a Valentine in mind, (Jasper & Cofel know who I am talking about) and I have a performace with the Sabbath Soulja's in 2 weeks and we have a practice/rehearsal tomorrow. I have been working on some music, and I have put up some music on the Phenom website, it's A Capella of what the song actually is going to sound like, but I wanted you give you guys something to go on, and I hope u guys enjoyed the Phenom updates we posted a few weeks ago. I apologize for not updating in a LONG time, but we have some stuff coming soon. I really dont wanna take up 2 much time but, talk to u later,

Back2Back

Ay wassup everybody,
This Ya Boi CB. I been workin' harder then ya'll know, tryna get this album started. I'm going to be starting soon. We are writing even more songs and trying to get the tracks laid. I know I'm probably going to record about 25 songs for this, and the best 12 will make the cut. Still untitled as of now. I apologize for no updates and no new videos on the kyte. I have been very busy and the camera has not been sending over the videos to me like it is supposed to. I will get that fixed. Um....what else is there...well i am going to try to post some polls, and videos on this blog. My myspace is currently not down, but on hiatus. Why? because I am working on my new music myspace page. So that when my music does come out you guys can listen to it for sure. and u will be able to download it so, all of you can listen. Can't wait for ya'll to hear what I have been writing. I kind of write what is going on in my life. I have been doing some voice training, so that when I do go into the studio my voice will not be messed up at all. I think I sound better. Right now I am on christmas break, because its christmas and I have a cold, so that is why no work is getting done. I am going to be leaving and going to go 2 Valdosta to do some work and I will be hitting you all up when I get back. I appreciate the messages on myspace, thanks for that too, but dont worry 2009 is going to be a big year, new things, new resolutions,etc. Anyways, I think I am going to go to sleep, haven't slept in 3 days, peace,paz, whateva.

New Stuff

Hey wassup people, this is Cedric. Well last time I posted you I told you guys that I dropped out of Phenom. I actually did in fact drop out of the group because of scheduling purposes. My Album starts recording this month, it is still untitled and I have been writing some songs for the album, Like a track that me and K2 wrote called "Graffiti" and its still in the process, and I am also working on a song called "R&B" and "Radio", so watch out for those coming out soon. I am actually creating another myspace page, that is only for my music, so that my songs can stand alone. My first single that I want out now is Graffiti because it is my favorite (even though we are not finished with the project). I have written about 5 songs already, I want about 10-14 songs on this album.Thank you guys for voting on my poll about my what my new album should be called , The top 2 answers were Code Blue and Ecstasy, I appreciate that. Well I gotta go for now, I will update ASAP,

Who Dropped Out? Here's The Answer.

Hey wassup everyone. This is the most important post that I will have to do. Everyone wants to know who has dropped out of Phenom. Well I will tell you who dropped out at the end of this post. Well we have had a good time with the Sabbath Soulja's on Sunday, we are going to be doing ALOT more practice. Well again my album is going to start next month and I am going to be putting up 2 polls: What the name of the album should be? and What song title should I record as my first track? I have a few in mind actually, so be prepared for that. I can't wait until time comes so I want you guys to be apart of this every step of the way, so that I can make an album that everyone likes. The album is primarily R&B/Soul type music, more R&B than anything else though. Sorry for not posting who dropped out of Phenom yesterday, we were told that we should wait, and that we should not do it and should just work it out or add another before anyone notices. But we wanted you to know so we came on here against the label, Thirdstep Ent. Well the moment has arrived. The person who has dropped out of phenom is me, yeah that's right, I dropped out of Phenom. Shocked! wow...I'm glad that I told you guys cause I wasn't going to say. I have nothing agaist the group what's so ever, I just want to pursue different things, not saying that I am totally out of Phenom, not at all, we are trying to find a way to work my album in with Phenom's, moving some dates, back etc. well know you know who has dropped. Most of you voted for Lady T and Dei'ja, no one voted for me, thank you but that was incorrect, sorry, that's it for now,

Something New

Hey wassup everybody, Right now I'm sick, I have a stomach virus. Yeah, I know it sounds bad...it is. Anyway, this weekend Phenom is going to be performing with our sub group "Sabbath Soulja's", it's going to be cool, we perform every 4 weeks. Oh yeah, I wanna tell you guys to go and check me and Kelvin's walmart adventure on our KYTE channel. Sorry we can not show you the rest of the adventure, there were at least 4 more video's but my computer went down and we had to erase everything, so we will juss do something different, I hope u enjoyed what we put on there. Oh yeah, I wanna thank you guys we now have over 2,000 views on our KYTE channel and this is 2 months with the KYTE channel. I want to let you know that Phenom has no rehearsals and no dates really right now, we are taking a session break. That is where we take about 2 weeks break from the whole group and just relax, it might last a little longer, or until we get this member thing worked out. My album is currently in the works, later on I am going to put up a poll on some album names and you can vote for me, I hope you guys, will vote like you did for the other poll on "Who is Your Favorite Phenom Member". I had to close it early, because of group controversy, so I just put another poll on the site, PLEASE VOTE. Anyways, we currently have a wikipedia page, it says a lot of untrue things, so don't believe it. Anyways I wanna make some shout outs on this page, these people don't know that they are getting a shout out but oh well, they'll find out,

• Jelissa
• Totiana
• Stefanie

wassup, I give ya'll a shout out and I want one of ya'll to help me with my album, I don't know which one but I want one of ya'll. For reference on what I am looking for, listen to Quickly by John Legend. Well that's it for now, I will update later, sorry for not updating in a while, CB
