I am writing a piece about Madrid - feels like homework, but in a good way =)
Therefore music is a necessity...It reminded me of this playlist I made 2/3 years ago...figured I'll upload it here, and hopefully I can listen to it at work! (Playlist is blocked at work...boo)

His popular song: Sexy Lady

Posted Dec. 1, 2008 -- Just in case you thought Yung Berg was somewhere loving a light-skinned shorty, think again. The young rapper has been criticized for statements made on a Shade 45 radio show where he cited his preference for light-skinned women in a very unique way. Berg said he didn't like "dark butts" and for a number of weeks after, he paid for that statement. Now, almost six months later, Yung Berg is still trying to correct his flawed quote by casting dark-skinned women in a new reality dating show.


Another crazy show is about to air: I thot this was interesting since I am yes one of those that are addicted to reality shows.

Today is Black Friday!!! Too broke and too lazy to want to stampede for any deals, but good luck to you all.
