Cloud 10's New Music Spot: Kid Cudi featuring Kanye West - Erase Me

Shiiiiiiiiiiiid I know somewhere Big Sean is salty as hell.. On the bright side his album is dropping on the same day (September 14th) as Kanye and Kid Cudi.  But here is a new track from Ohio's very own native son Scott Mescudi featuring the misunderstood Kanye West.  I must say I am digging the direction of the track and the way that Kanye and Cudi refuse to pigeon-hole themselves.  The song has a nice mellow rock riff and features a 16 from Kanye towards the end. Erase Me will be one of the tracks on Cudi's sophmore album Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager.

Cloud 9 Status: (Whisky Tango Foxtrot) | WTF: Kanye West Jewelry Line

Man it pains me to type this, deeply because you guys know I've been riding with Team Ye' since The College Dropout Days.  Shit Kanye West is one of the inspirations behind Cloud10LV.com.  That is why I have to ask a loud WHISKY TANGO FOXTROT at the two pieces of jewelry released as previews for his upcoming jewelry line.  Clearly the Horus pendant chain and the pyramid ring are inspired by Egypt.  The line is apart of the Kanye West Jewelry Collection.  I don't have much information on hand but stay tuned.

What do you guys think of the line the two pieces? 

I must admit the Horus piece is kinda nice from the view of the Eagle head...just saying.

Park Yong-Ha dies from apparent suicide

South Korean entertainer Park Yong Ha, one of the most sought after actors in South Korea and a popular singer in Japan, was found dead in his home in Seoul on Wednesday in an apparent suicide, local media reported.

R.I.P Park Yong-ha
(August 12, 1977 – June 30, 2010)

Park's body was found by his mother with an electrical cord around his neck but there was no suicide note, The Korea Herald quoted police as reporting.

Park, 32, had recently devoted himself to nursing his ailing father who was in the final stages of stomach cancer. He was reported to have been struggling with sleep problems as well.

Park made his acting debut in 1992 but rose to fame in 2002 in the television drama "Winter Sonata", winning a following in Japan and other nations in southeast Asia.

He also forged a career for himself as a singer in Japan where he put out 10 hit albums in the past five years and won four consecutive Japan Gold Disc Awards -- a first for a Korean pop singer.

He was due to start filming in July for a Korean television drama called "Comrades, Almost a Love Story", which is a remake of a popular 1996 Hong Kong film.

Park's death comes after a string of suicides by South Korean celebrities in recent years.

Figures from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2009 show that South Korea's suicide rate experienced a sharp increase from the late 1990s and South Korea now has the highest rate among OECD countries of around 22 deaths per 100,000 people.

The Foot Tattoo and Its Popularity

There are great differences among tattoos in today's world, which is why they represent a great way by which to express your individuality. You are in control of deciding what kind of tattoo you want and where on your body you want to display it. This means that what may be the best one for you, may not suit other people at all. But don't despair if you are still not entirely certain just what part of your body you want to have a tattoo on. You may consider a foot tattoo. These kinds of tattoos are very popular these days.

Here are some things to consider:

Tattoo sessions on the foot tend to be more painful, as a rule. The reason is due to the fact that the skin is close to the bone. And the closer the bone is to the skin, the more painful a tattoo will be. Tattoos on the foot, though, will be smaller, so you won't have to put up with the pain for long.

Foot tattoos are also more easily concealed than any other kinds. If you hope to have a professional job some day, concealment might come in handy, since in professional jobs tattoos are usually not in. So your ability to conceal a foot tattoo is a good thing.

But you should be aware of the fact that during the healing process you can't enclose your tattooed foot in a shoe, so open shoes are in order. The healing time for a tattoo is usually 2 to 3 weeks. If you can't avoid wearing shoes, then keep in mind that you must have 2 pairs of light socks on.

Did you know that a foot tattoo is considered sexy? There are many opinions about the types of tattoos that look good on people. The thing about foot tattoos is that even people who don't as a rule like tattoos, seem to like them on the foot.

Foot tattoos are likely to need touching up from time to time. The reason for this is due to extra exposure to conditions less favorable than on other parts of your body. A foot tattoo may also spread and end up looking blurry.

Star designs or words or even flowers are popular foot tattoos. But there is no reason why you can't engage your tattoo artist to help you create something really different. If you do want a larger and more complex tattoo than those in the ordinary runs of the mill, keep in mind that these will be more painful and more expensive, too.

Tribal Tattoo Designs For The Foot, Shoulder And Back

There seems to be an explosion in the popularity of tribal tattoos. Specifically, shoulder and back tribal pieces. Everywhere you look, from celebrity to Average Joe, someone has got a beautiful, striking tribal tattoo on their shoulder. Or they have the the tribal tattoo that goes from one shoulder, across the back, and down the other shoulder. Why are they fast becoming the most popular tattoo? How do you choose the best tribal tattoo design for you? Do a little research. Check out tribal tattoo designs in your culture or heritage. You are sure to get tons of ideas. I did a little research on tribal tattoos, and I now have a few theories as to the popularity surge. Probably the most important of all of these theories is that tribal shoulder tattoos look so cool!

Tribal tattoos were used in different cultures to delineate between the tribes. They were also used to distinguish between classes or rank within the tribe. Everyone in the tribe had some form of the tattoo. In most cultures, the tattoos were given in a ceremonial way, to celebrate the passage from childhood to adulthood.

It is widely believed that the Polynesian culture brought us our most popular tribal tattoos. The Samoans, the Maori, the Hawaiians. The most detailed of these are the Maori. These tattoos are intricate and curvilinear in nature. They are based on the spiral which give them such powerful movement within the design. The design begins in the center and radiates out, forming beautiful curves that are filled with pattern. The tribal tattoos were carved into the skin and rubbed with ash. Maori tattoos were placed on the face, back, chest, and arms. The more important you were, the more tattooing you had.

The traditional Samoan tattoo consists of very detailed geometric patterns. Traditionally, they cover a man from his waist to his knees. Woman have the same tattooing, but it is not as detailed or dense. A more modern Hawaiian Tattoo is the shoulder tattoo. Images are rich with geometric design.

The Celts and Danes tattooed their family crest on themselves. The ancient Egyptians tattooed themselves as a form of adornment.

In Japan, woman that were of age and getting married were tattooed. If a woman was not properly tattooed, she was thought to have committed a sin and was sentenced to death. (Yikes!)

The Christians tattooed Jesus Fish on themselves. The Native American Indians tattooed animals and images that linked them to a tribe. The ancient Mexico, the Aztecs tattooed images of their slain enemies.

So, each culture seems to have some form of tattooing in their ancient history. Does our love affair with tribal tattoos have roots in our wanting to belong? Is it pride in our heritage? Is it our personal passage into adulthood? I think it is all of the above. A little bit of heritage, a little culture, a feeling of inclusion. There is nothing like a powerful, beautiful shoulder tattoo that is meaningful to you.

Whatever your reason, tribal tattoos are really intricate in nature, and powerful in design. Find the right one and you will be happy with it forever. Don't spend enough time looking and tweaking the design, and you will be very unhappy. Tribal tattoos are generally large and most have a lot of black. Difficult to cover over, and difficult to remove. Think hard, do your research, find an excellent tattoo artist, and you will be all set. Peace always.

In Loving Memory Tattoo Options

An excellent idea for a tattoo is "in loving memory" tattoos. It's also an excellent reason to get a tattoo. Saluting, symbolizing, and forever remembering someone who was important to you.

There are different options for getting a in loving memory tattoo. Here are some to consider:

1. Banner and Lettering.

Keep in mind that there are different design ideas available for your lettering and your banner. Cursive style lettering is very popular for in loving memory tattoos. The standard banner design is also hugely popular. But a banner design isn't required, and you have several different font options for your lettering.

Look at all the different options. Is there a certain font style that you feel connects more with person you are inking tribute to? Would a banner work better for the accompanying design?

2. Personal designs.

Think of any designs, photos, objects, or anything personal about the person you can use as a design to accompany the lettering. This could be tricky translating it over onto a tattoo design, but it likely can be done in one way or another, or at least certain aspects of a photo or object can be workable.

Options for personal designs could be anything from a favorite hat or article of clothing the individual would wear to an actual photo of the person himself.

3. Symbol Designs.

These are the most common, and sometimes the most powerful design options. You have many design choices to choose from. You want to find a tattoo design that you feel speaks to or symbolizes the person you are remembering. You can choose tattoos which symbolize strength, beauty, solidarity, or many other attributes you feel relate to the person.

A common in loving memory tattoo to get is the heart tattoo. This simply expresses your love for that person, and that they'll always remain close to your heart. You can find a vast array of different styles of heart tattoos to choose from.

Words, words and more words.

Tattoo Designs & Your First Tattoo - What's Right For You, What to Avoid

There are so many different options when choosing a tattoo design, it's often overwhelming at first. You know you're ready to get your first tattoo. Fortunately for the current younger generations, getting a tattoo isn't as taboo as it used to be. You no longer have people staring at you like you're an old sailor or are fresh out of prison. In fact, tattoos have become quite socially acceptable - after all, all your friends have them, models have them, movie stars have them, rock stars have them.

Tattoos are a great way of self expression, but how do you stand out from everyone else's "I love Sheila" or "I heart Mom" tattoos? There's nothing better than a unique design, but a design that is still very meaningful to you, even though it might not be totally unique can be perfect. Why is it so important to have a unique design? Well, other than the fact that you'll have the ink permanently (important to remember at all times before deciding to get a tattoo - laser removal isn't perfect yet) it's always great to have a unique story.

Here's an example - a friend of this author got one of those copy-and-paste "tribal" tattoos. He's pretty popular with the ladies, and the first thing they always ask is, "Oh wow, this is really neat, what does it mean?" So he has to sit there and explain that it doesn't really mean anything, he just thought it looked neat. Not very smooth.

A different friend has an amazing sleeve (two, actually), all the images intertwined and coalescing in a very artistic way. They were custom drawings, drawings from his favorite artists, and so on - whenever a person asks him why he got the tattoos or what the designs mean, he has great stories to tell.

So there's the difference between your run of the mill tattoo design, and a tattoo design that has plenty of meaning behind it. You've got that part down, so what should you avoid?

Well, unless you actually know a person that speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, or any other Asian language and can confirm the character you're having stamped on your butt doesn't say "more ketchup please," the best advice is to just avoid that style of tattoo all together. In this author's opinion, it's no longer unique, it's very played out.

Don't be afraid when getting "inked" for the first time. It's not quite as painful as you might have heard. Some people even enjoy the experience. Just make sure it's not one that you'll regret - you'll have that tattoo design for quite a long while.

Many woman have no idea what to get a tattoo of much less how getting the right tattoo design will positively effect there self esteem.

A classic tattoo idea is to tattoo tribal or flower designs along the lower back. Always a feminine spot to get a tattoo the lower back is probably the sexiest place a woman can get work done. Unlike other parts of the body where the subject matter must be considered,most tattoo designs no matter what the subject matter will look cute and girlish on the lower back.

A small symbol looks quite sexy peeking from the nape of a female's neck. A big part of the draw of female tattoos is only seeing part of the tattoo adding to the mystery of the design. This is exactly the case with neck tattoos. Chinese symbols often work well on the neck as do small religious symbols or a loved one's initials.

A more recent trend with female tattooing that proves to be quit sexy is tattooing the rib cage. Often you will find a small framed large breasted young lady with a large tattoo peeking from behind her bra strap under her arm. The mystery of the tattoo is truly the sexiest part and the allure of the design under the bra is intoxicating.

The BET Awards: The Good, The Bad and The Pause?!?!

Man I gotta hand it to BET, I was skeptical as hell about this years awards.  I expected BET to coon it up as usual. But Debra Luciferina Lee and Stephen Hill put on a very entertaining and commendable show.  Then again I did help to choose a lot of the winners who were announced on the live telecast so WOOT to me and all the other BET Awards Academy.  Shout out to the pre-show and commercial break performers (they really played J.Cole hard).  They never get any true recognition so hey let's give them some shine over here.  FUMP Souljah Boy for performing that travesty known as 'Pretty Boy Swag' aka the Capper Anthem.  I know every Capper was in their living room shimmying in their pannies...-runs-.  Overall BET made up for last year's lackluster and highly embarrassing show.

HERE GOES!!

THE GOOD!

Chris Brown's Tribute to MJ - This shit right here, THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE.  Chris Breezy redeemed himself in the eyes of many who had written him off as a has been, woman-beater. I had already forgiven C. Brown for his misdeeds but some people are holding on to grudges like he beat them personally.  Think of all the family members or other close loved ones we know who may have been in Chris Brown's shoes at some point and we've FORGIVEN.  Anyway I won't lecture at this time.  Michael Jackson would've been proud to see Chris Brown.  Oh and he better be happy Rihanna and Beyonce and Hov declined their invites this year or else he wouldn't have seen any parts of that stage.


CLICK READ MORE TO READ MORE OF THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE PAUSE?!




Tribute to Prince - Man between Patti Labelle making sure every up and coming singer took notes, to Esperanza Spalding (hmmm might need a new artist spotlight) killing it with her guicello (guitar and cello hybrid), Alicia Keys belting that Prince song then climbing on the piano (I know I wasn't the only one turned on) and Prince catching Patti's shoes with a ton of facial expressions that made everyone laugh. There left little room to even remember Janelle Monae's awesome cover.  Prince really confuses the shit out of me though.  How you gonna be prettier than your girl but still pulling CERTIFIED BAD BISHES like Applelonia and May Thai??


Kanye West - Man the show opened with KANYE WEST!! Yeezy's back and he gave a roaring rendition of his new single Power.  I don't care what anyone says.  The game has missed Kanye Omari West!


Drake and Jeezy - Drake killed it with the opening song being Fireworks (I was hoping A Keys would come out) then he did Over and Jeezy came out and KILLED IT with Lose My Mind!!!


Facebook and Twitter Status Parties - Man how were award shows before we discovered the beauty of live updates of statuses and tweets during major events?  I won't lie man the shit is addictive as hell but always entertaining so shout out to all my FB friends and Twitter followers and people I follow.  Yall always bring the funny and insightful oh and shout out to the HATERS.  You guys make the world go around.

Nia Long - Did yall see Nia MUFFUCKING Long?  I bet every chick who saw her wished they could be her and every dude wanted to bang her. -drops mic-

El Debarge - Medley : Somewhere across North America there were collective fist pumps from my light-skinned brothers and sisters as they made a resurgence last night at the BET Awards chairmaned by their lead spokesman EL DEBARGE.  There were also collective groans from the Dark Skinned Contingent.  Man I was happy to see the light skinned folks doing it big. TAKE THAT, TAKE THAT!!


Tyrese's Tribute to Teddy Pendergrass - Black Ty killed it and had the ladies waving their pannies in the air and held it down for the dark skinned fellas.  WOOT!

The Bad
 TI's and his veneers - TI performed his single Yeah Ya Know and it was lackluster at best.  I know the King of the South has more than that.


Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle - I am drafting an open letter to all camera men to please refrain from panning close up on to Tiny's face.  She's a BUTTA HEAD if ever there was one.  Tiny looks like a platypus that survived an abortion. STOP WITH THE CLOSE UPS HOMEY!

Trey Songz - Yo Side of the Bed/ Purple Rain - Another lackluster performance from studio singer Trey Songz.  He needs to step his performance game up and work on that ugly face when he sings mayne.  I got props for Trey cuz he makes some good love making jams but dude lost a lot of his Bandwagoners who are now riding pretty on the LV Express straight to Cloud 10! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT


Jermaine Jackson's Hair - In case you were ever curious as to how to achieve the Jermaine Jackson hair do here is the recipe sent over by his barber Thelonius Kincaide.  Add 16 parts BP Oil spill oil collected from a beach in Biloxi, then add a couple generous pinches of blacker than black charcoal and 2 teaspoons of brown gel and KABOOM. You have a lard head.

The Pause
B.O.B and Keyshia Cole performing Airplanes followed by Eminem - This made it to the Pause because there should've been a resounding HELL NAW to when they could not get Hayley Williams to sing her part in Airplanes.  Keyshia Cole tries to prove herself every time  she sings man and its crazy how she can kill a song dead..Eminem made a good transition though.


Dirty Money - Oh Let's Do It, Hello Good Morning Remix Melody: Man I really wanna ride with Dirty Money but the fact that Dawn and the No-Name girl are glorified backup singers when Diddy tries to LIE all the time and say that they're a GROUP.  Makes this whole performance get a pause.



Nicki Minaj - Yall know I rides with Nicki Minaj, she's captured our attention and put female rappers back on the map so yall keep on hating.  My pause is due to the fact that Nicki lip-synced all three of her performances.  When she did My Chick Bad, All I Do is Win and the Hello, Good Morning Remix.  Was she sick or something?  She was talking fine when she directed those subliminal SHOTS at Lil Kim though hahaha.  Shout out to Nicki for keep the folks talking though.

Usher - There Goes My Baby - Ionno man Usher seems to have lost his IT factor.  shrugggsss...


Monica and Denice Williams - Man Mo killed that song but at the same time she looked like a real life Bat Symbol..I expected her to fly away at any moment or get hoisted into the air.  Mo and Denice killed it though.


Todd 'Willis' Bridges - That nukka looks like he been through some things man, lip all crunchy black. SAY NO TO DRUGS KIDS!! RIP Gary Coleman.

Cloud 10 Status: "Andy Warhol: The Last Decade"

The Brooklyn Museum of Art is the current home of the Andy Warhol exhibit (tell me why am I blogging when I am supposed to be packing??) Anyway these images according to Selectism are from the artist's final catalogue before his untimely demise.  I must say the style Warhol employed are a marked departure from his previous work especially his dalliances with Hollywood A-list celebrities that created those infamous paintings we've come to love.  The picture that contain the words 'Origin of Cotton' are similar to what Warhol did when he collaborated with the legendary Jean-Michel Basquiat.


Photographer Jake Breinholt is responsible for the images.

 The first recognized tribal tattoos were those of the south pacific. Polynesian islands such as Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti and others, all had their own culture influence designs. These tattoos had sacred meanings that ran deep in their heritage compared to those you see today. The tribal style seen today was innovated by pacific islander Leo Zulueta who was training under Ed Hardy at the time.

Every tattoo is art related.
