Papa Roach - Broken Home

To: My family


It feels bad to be alone
Crying by yourself
Living in a broken home
How could I tell it
So all y'all could feel it
Depression strikes hard
Just like my old earth would tell it
To me, her son, she told me I'm the one
Pain bottled up about to blow like a gun
Stories that I tell are non-fiction
And you can take it back
Cause it's already done

So much going on....

Ever have a child come up to you and say something along the lines of "I admire you" then you think OMG I need to get my act together or why?? Yeah, that happened. That's powerful!

Ever have someone you loved and trusted your whole life betray you along with friends? I did. I will make an example out of this person since it's a touchy subject. They go to a private Christian college, practice everything Christ related so certain people begin to think they're perfect. Don't fall for it, only God is perfect.

Before I go on, I wanted to say this. I see people blaming Christ and Christians for this but it is, in no way, His fault. Humans make mistakes no matter what race, religion, gender etc...God is LOVE that's what He teaches but we do fall. I fall hard, but in a different way than this person/people. No matter what people do to you, God would never leave you.

It starts with one... (ADD kicked in and "In the End" is playing in my head now...). sorry, ONE misread email, message, however you do it. The person is sensitive and attacks back. God's still working on me so I attack back. Honestly, my anger comes from pain or attention seeking (I will admit that). This person decided to block me out of...everything. We were best friends basically before the marriage. Summer road trips, goofing off, having fun. If you're feeling me here, I'm with you.

I tend to do the "tough love" thing. If I see someone going for a dangerous but important life I tend to butt in and 'test' them. Then mess up and lose them...or they lose it, I'm not sure.

I realize that you say you have been thru a lot and been a lone alot- guess what- you are not the only one.

Then share your testimony! No one knows what I've been through but God. I'll let B speak here..He's better at those words lol:





Thank you to Bizzy much love and respect! <---has impacted me a lot <3

Who is Christy and Why?

Hey I'm Christy. My story goes deep and the pain I've felt from life is too. When I see kids go through what I went through, it's heartbreaking. I see yall on the streets, some secretly wanting someone to talk to, some wasted or just pissed off. That was me not long ago and still struggle with those things (won't go into detail yet, that would take forever) today.
I know that "fight or flight" panic and all the crazy that comes with it. Growing up, I was the "bad kid" or trouble. Years of abuse and negligence has made me grow stronger and more compassionate about speaking out. I've had people go "you're a girl, you look 16 what do you know?" yeah, I'm pretty small physically. Here are some facts:

-I was abused physically as a kid and teen
-abused mentally and verbally to this day
-I keep fighting
-I've been shot at
-I've been left for dead
-locked up and kicked down by my family who constantly judge everything
-ignorance pisses me off
-was an equestrian (top 10 in the state) for 10 years. Was abused there when my instructor thought that if she beat me/screamed at me she could control me and make money off of me. She lost. I saw one of my friends die, gave my horse to a friend and left.
-took up tae kwon do and kick boxing to release anger
-was used against my will when anti depressants started getting popular as a minor
-over medicated and became severely sick
-more I'm hesitant to put here lol

I've watched too many people die and NOT deserve any of it. I have a friend in prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's 24 and may get the death penalty (praying that won't happen). I'm against that. God chooses who stays and who goes, not man.

I credit Christ for saving me many times. I know, some people think it's cliche or don't believe it but I do and if you knew me, you would to. All of this inspires me and makes me stronger.

Modern "We Are the World" FAIL: Who I think should GO

We Are the World FAIL: Some of yall do not fit in this song that Michael wrote....you butchered it:

Instead of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper and the late Michael Jackson (whose previously recorded voice, however, will be heard on the tune), the 2010 version will be headlined by Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Wyclef Jean, Josh Groban and Will.I.Am. It features a newly penned hip-hop break written by the Black Eyed Peas leader that makes reference to the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, the victims of which will benefit from the song's proceeds.

Among the rap artists making the cut for "We Are the World — 25 for Haiti" are T-Pain, Kanye West, Bizzy Bone (YES), Kid Cudi, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Drake (SAY WHAT?), Mann, Nipsey Hussle, Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz. (I'm only feelin Bizzy 100% here)

And though rumored participants such as Lady Gaga (WTF), Beyoncé (NO), Taylor Swift (NO), Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake (SORRY) were not in attendance, the sessions did feature a number of current stars such as Miley Cyrus (WTF), Keri Hilson (WTF NO) and Best New Artist Grammy winner Zac Brown (WHO?).

There were the requisite classic artists who pitched in, including Barbra Streisand (ON THE FENCE...); Carlos Santana (ON THE FENCE); Natalie Cole (ALRIGHT); BeBe Winans (THATS COOL); the members of Heart (OK); Freda Payne (OK); Harry Connick Jr. (WTFF NO); Earth, Wind & Fire (HMMM); the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Al Jardine (OK); Tony Bennett (WHY NOT); "Slumdog Millionaire" film score composer A.R. Rahman (DUNNO); "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson (HMM); Patti Austin; Celine Dion and Gladys Knight (YESS). A few actors were in the studio (Jeff Bridges and Vince Vaughn), as well as the offspring of co-producers Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones, Nicole Richie (HUH??) and "Parks and Recreation" star Rashida Jones (GOIN TOO FAR), and the members of 3T (the sons of Tito Jackson)(COOL), Taj, Taryll and TJ Jackson.

Joel and Benji Madden were on hand (NO), as were Akon (KNOW HIS STORY SO OK), Brandy (NO), Melanie Fiona, Mya (NO), Musiq Soulchild (UHH), Katharine McPhee (NO), Trey Songz (HMMM), Faith Evans (YEA), "Heroes" actor Jimmy Jean-Louis ("the Haitian") and former Michael Jackson guitarist Orianthi (OF COURSE).

Also pitching in according to a press statement from organizers were the members of Sugarland (WHAA?), Jennifer Hudson (UH UH), Jason Mraz (NO), India.Arie (OK), Mary Mary (COOL), Tyrese Gibson (UHHH), Raphael Saadiq, Pink (???), Jordin Sparks (WOW), Rob Thomas (JOKING??), Usher (YEA), the Fray's Isaac Slade (NO), child prodigy pianist Ethan Bortnick (YES), Enrique Iglesias (WHAAT), Robin Thicke (LAWD...), Jamie Foxx (NO), Maroon 5's Adam Levine (HELL NO), the Jonas Brothers (NO), Nicole Scherzinger (HELL NO) and Julianne Hough (NO).

Co-producer Richie said that Janet Jackson would be laying down her version of Michael Jackson's part on Tuesday (THANK GOD), and he hinted that some other artists might also be added over the next few days.

NEXT REMIX WILL INVOLVE RANDOM HOOKERS AND CRACKHEADS PICKED UP OFF THE STREETS. HOW WOULD I DO IT? BIZZY'S VOICE AND TALENT AND TESTIMONY IS POWERFUL. GIVE HIM A VERSE. TAKE MILEY OUT SHE'S YELLING AGAIN....THEN, HAVE JANET SING MOST OF IT. PUT IN GLADYS KNIGHT AND 3T. WHERE'S STEVIE WONDER BY THE WAY? HE SHOULD SING MORE. THERE, YOU DON'T NEED 81 PEOPLE TO MAKE A POWERFUL SONG (OR BUTCHER A CLASSIC).

Forever?

ChristyKFox go to www.rapbasement.com/eminem for a bit of a better version of Drop the World and Forever. Congrats to @eminem

Or watch here:




Fresh off his award wins, Eminem took to the stage with Lil Wayne to first perform "Drop the World," a song from Weezy's upcoming "Rebirth" album. Later, Young Money's new star (and Toronto's own) Drake, along with Travis Barker on drums, joined the two rappers on stage to perform their "Forever" hit. If it wasn't for the FCC bleeping every other word, it would have been a great ending to a show.
