Cool World



So a couple of days ago my husband reminded me of this "childhood" movie that i absolutely loved, but neither of us could remember the name. Then today he was perusing thru one of his fb friends albums and randomly came across the poster! go figure.

I'm assuming we were allowed to watch this movie becuz it was a cartoon. unfortunately, our naive parents hadnt (and some still havent) come across Adult Swim yet lol.

Janelle Monáe's 'ArchAndroid' Album Cover is Here!



"The ArchAndroid Crown: Designed by Zoman Ignatius, the half-elf, half-human mystic, reportedly 500 years ago. According to legend, the crown has several magic properties, as well as innovative technologies that can be employed only by The ArchAndroid. Zoman was a consummate inventor, artist and sculptor, a cross between Tesla and Da Vinci, and as such, he designed the crown to be a work of beauty that would embody the very spirit of Metropolis. According to legend, the crown features prominent Metropolis buildings and towers that will light up radiantly when the one and only true ArchAndroid wears the crown." Read More

Song/Quote of the Day: Forgive The Father





Why every Indian wanna be the chief?/ Feed a man 'til he full and he still want beef/ Give me grief, try to tief off my piece/ Why for you to increase, I must decrease?/ If I treat you kindly, does it mean that I'm weak?/ You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets/ I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek/ But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik/ and other African czars, observing stars with war scars/ Get yours in this capitalistic system/ So many caught or got bought you can't list them/ How you gonna idolize the missing?/ To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition/ even when they comin, gunnin I stand position/ L's known the mission since conception/ Let's free the people from deception/ If you looking for the answers then you gotta ask the questions/ And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto/ Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto/ Why black people always be the ones to settle?/ March through these streets like Soweto, uhh//

"some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice/ i say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots"

Apple cares, if dont nobody else cares...


One of the songs that will be apart of Marlee2Fresh's life's score.

"im tryna make a dollar outta 15cents/ its hard to be legit, and still pay the rent//"

"You know it's funny when it rains it pours/They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor/Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is/it ain't no hope for the future/and then they wonder why we crazy..." <3

Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus)





Black Orpheus (Portuguese: Orfeu Negro) is a 1959 film made in Brazil by French director Marcel Camus. It is based on the play Orfeu da Conceição by Vinicius de Moraes, which is an adaptation of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, setting it in the modern context of a favela in Rio de Janeiro during the Carnaval. The film was an international co-production between production companies in Brazil, France and Italy.

The film is particularly renowned for its soundtrack by bossa nova legend Antônio Carlos Jobim, featuring songs such as "Manhã de Carnaval" (written by Luiz Bonfá) and "A felicidade" that were to become bossa nova classics.

Black Orpheus won the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival[1] as well as the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the 1960 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film (in those awards the film was credited as a French production; only in the 1961 BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Language Film was Brazil credited together with France and Italy).


One of the most beautiful movies ive ever seen <- thats how it made me feel. very dope and worth seeing...even owning.

80 Blocks from Tiffany's
