Happy November, Loves! This month is one of my favorites: Fall weather is in full effect, there’s a lot of family time what with Thanksgiving and everything, and Black Friday means shopping for hours on end for hella deals!
This November, however, there are even more things to be excited about. Here they are in order…..

Weezy is free in t-minus three days! I know, how cliche of me to be excited about a rapper getting out of jail. Despite what anyone says, Lil Wayne is a legend in the game. He’s was on the scene before the age of 16, and runs record labels Young Money/Cash Money Billionaires. This guy has made strides and has even managed to become relevant in other music genres such as pop and rock. In other words, displaying some legendary characteristics.
Via The Fashion Bomb
Now, I’m not a huge fan of how she seems to have changed throughout her career thus far from the real, amiable, agilr-next door to an image, but even I can’t deny her presence in fashion and her smash hits. Rih Rih is dropping a new album on November 16th which I will definitely have to cop. As long as she stops mentioning the whole Chris Brown saga in interviews. I think we’ve heard enough; she’s becoming quite redundant. *Kanye shrug* Order the deluxe and couture editions of the forthcoming Loud here.

AHHHHHH! KHSDFHEEF. Yes, I am a Harry Potter nerd, and have been since I bought the first book in paperback in a 7-11 store. The end of the movie series begins on November 19th when “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” premiers in theatres. Catch part one of the trailer here on YouTube. I’ll definitely be needing to pre-order my tickets asap. Belee dat!
Via My Pink Friday
Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for ( in a good way or not) is here. November 22nd Nicki Minaj drops her debut Album Pink Friday. As a fan of the mixtapes and other songs of hers, I can honestly say that I have no idea what to expect. All I know is that she knows her audience. Really, though, Nicki, what the fuck was going trhough your mind when you recorded Massive Attack? The album may end up to be good, with features from her Young Money homie Drake, Rihanna, and a much buzzed about collabo with Eminem on a song called “Roman’s Revenge”. Download the track here. It’s definitely a slapper. We’ll have to wait and see… *Sigh*
Last, but the complete opposite of least, is the debut of Kanye’s fifth and highly-anticipated album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. If his album is anything like the G.O.O.D. Friday music he has been putting out every single Friday to get us pumped about the new album, then this album will be incredibly spectacular. Kanye has been keeping very mum about the album, only to say that it is “hot”. I’m a die hard Kanye fan. He is a fashion icon, a hip hop figure, and an inspiration to fans of art. Somehow, perhaps by luck or by miracle, he manages to remain relevant what with the evolution of his music since the debut of his freshman album College Dropout. To get in spirit for his release, below is a photo inspired by the man himself. See y’all at the checkout stand! 😉
