OMG This Is Too Good My Ears Are In Pleasure



THIS IS EXCLUSIVE YO !! Just found out this updates all over the net, KanyeLive, Facebook, TheLifeFiles, Roc4Life, and other sources.....Jay-Z's new single from his Blueprint 3 album.

Let me ell you something bout it.....ORGASMIC ! lol it is too good, so smooth, flow is so good. god damn, enough said, listen to it at Jay Z's MySpace and tell me if it doesnt please you !
definitely waiting for Blueprint 3 to hit the store !

So I Gave Me Sometime To Create This

I did a Lupe Fiasco's LASERS album cover a while back, but after time passed by, updates went by, I decided to recreate the cover for this album...and I came up with this;



Ok, let me break it down....it's pretty simple ain't it ? well I looked at the LASERS concept, after the Shining Down cover art was released, I had the idea of LASERS being a simple looking art project, so I came up with this simple black and grey patterned background with the big anarchy logo placed bottom-left to balance the text above it..and yeah I had it sketched for couple of times, deciding the layout-ing is the hardest part...I came up with few layouts but I finalized this one cos I thought this one is the one that works te most ? anyways here's Shining Down's cover art if you didn't know;

It's His Old Stuff Like This That Got Me Into This Mr. Genious


Lupe Fiasco "Conflict Diamonds"

I've read some comments on this track at Klive, majority of people commenting think this Lupe version is even better than the actual version Kanye did ("Diamonds From Sierra Leone"...is that it ? lol) But yeah I'll have to agree on that, check the second crazy verse by Lupe, he's a GENIOUS !

Some even said Lupe did this fisrt before Kanye even recorded "Diamonds From Sierra Leone"...I don't know about that, but anyways I don't really care about that LOL, but this track is B.O.M.B.

I'm really hoping Lupe's L.A.S.E.R.S won't dissapoint his fans, I'm pretty sure we (fans) want some of that style he had in his mixtape era, the cool, genious Lu sith the cool, genious verses.
I'm pretty sure his upcoming album will be madness ! cannot wait for this one.

you're a genious Lu !

This Is One of My Fav Songs, and The Music Clip Is So Cool !


Q-Tip "Renaissance Rap"

So sad that this song is actually combined with "Move" from the album Renaissance. It would've been great if it was atleast a separate song, and it would've been greater if it was a single. I mean come on, flow is so smooth, beat is so dope, definitely cool !

Talking 'Bout Indonesian Food

http://i30.tinypic.com/2yvt7op.jpg

Hahaha cruisin' round Facebook today and found out Messie's update. I was like Lupe eats Indo food :O daaaaaamn you shouldn't be going anywhere else but my place yo, I cook you some crazy Indonesian ish you'll never step outta the building lol. Well obviously Le Messie loves Asian food since he's a Singaporean, but never knew Lupe would like that, well now I know what to get this brother for bday present ! hahaha that came out wrong lol.

But yeah, if I was the chef I would be getting him some nasi goreng, gado-gado, tahu campur, kare ayam, nasi kuning, pecel, nasi campur, rawon, soto, sate, keroket, oles oles, pastel, onde onde, kerupuk, etc etc etc etc I can list out Indo food I know but then it won't fit in this box :P hahaha kidding yo, well I know alot of Indo food, but I only know how to cook some of them :/

Anyways enough said about that LOL, that's about it, the topic for today's post.

First Day Back

Errrrr so today was my first day back to Enmore Design Centre for a new semester. Well I have honestly been looking forward to go back TO SEE ALL MY CLASSMATES lol, but about the lesson and lectures..errrr not really haha. But anyways, today I started at 3.15 pm. that never happened last semester lol, we usually start early, the latest used to be 11.30 am but yeah

First class, new teacher, new subject which was Typography. They said Typography has 50% importance value in grapic design...wow that's something new isn't it ? so yeah a new subject and of course a new lecturer...well yeah about that new lecturer part....errrr lol he was good, he was kind and slow....well actually....too slow :/ LOL

Like he's really good and smart...but what's with his non-tempo speech system ? lol he talks pretty much like robot I guess :/ hmm I feel pretty bad to talk about him like this, I don't even know him much yet lol, but yeah from todays lesson I would give my opinion about him which is that....he's pretty slow in teaching lol, and yeah it's pretty hard to fully understand what he says, like ummm what did you just say ? lol but ofcourse I said that inside my head LOL, but anyways the lecture about Typography was alright I guess, a lil bit of history on the type and lettering, then a lil bit of experiment, we did some font introductions and modifications on Adobe Illustrator CS4, it was fun, learnt some new stuff today.

Anyways conclusion for today;
Today was fun, seeing everybody (except few who didn't turn up errrr) and yeah oh and we had a new classmate today...and I already forgot her name LOL

and yeah new semester, new subjects, new spirits, still same ole zen :)

I figured some of you MIGHT be wondering...what's this dude's taste of music is like....well I gave you it today...the 19th. How lucky are you guys ? damn lol

Alright yo, enough said here's the list;


My Favourite songs of ALL TIME list


1. Ben - Michael Jackson

1. Paris, Tokyo - Lupe Fiasco

3. Human Nature - Michael Jackson

4. Renaissance Rap [Move 2nd half] - Q-Tip

5. Back To Basics - Kanye West Feat. Common




- these are the songs I repeat when I'm in need of relaxation and mind calming...and when I'm in 'zen mode'
- these songs are the ones you play and I go either awesomely crazy or freeze and burst in tears.
- one song on this list was not a single ; "Back To Basics"
- the last song to be added on the list was "Move/Renaissance Rap" which came out officially October 2008
- you may notice there are two number ones...cos they both have the same value to me, my fav two.
- will this list change ? who knows, music grows.
- have a listen to everyone of them, then you can score my taste of music

OMG My Artwork !! lol

a while ago, I designed a cd cover for a Hip Hop group called BeinYounG (you all should already know) lol. and yeah recently, they dropped their mixtape entitled Living Room Music II, if you haven't already, download it HERE.

Anyways back to the topic, these past few days, BeinYounG posted photos of the fans and the crew posing with the cd's and OMG that's my artwork ! lol I was like ohh daaaaaamn haha that's awesome !

Dude...Where's My Blog ?

If you jump to this blog, you MIGHT be noticing something different LOL
yeah Ive changed couple of stuff, first of all the name....well url is still the same http://the-cool-universe.blogspot.com/ but the actual title/name of the blog is changed...it used to be theCOOLuniverse....but then now I changed it to theABSTRACTuniverse.

You MIGHT be wondering what is going on in this dude's mind...well I give you an answer, I thought and thought and came to a conclusion about the blog theme....This blog has been doing what most of other blogs/sites are doing...which is collecting and grabbing stuff from other sites about fashion, music, design and everything else..and I thought it's not good...since im small and those other sites are BIG LOL.

So my point is I have changed the theme of this blog into more personal than how it used to be, so basically this blog is personalized now, I will talk, talk and talk bout anything and everything that happens around me. That doesn't mean i stopped grabbing stuff from other sites...cos if I think something is worth sharing and showing you guys, then I will do so...cos let's face it, we all like fashion...well most of us, especially sneakers and that..so keep checking I MIGHT be showing you guys some cool stuff around here...and yeah...

my name is abstract_

New Mr. T ?

moh SUN0112 ICE CUBE com

Rappers The Game, Ice Cube and Common are reportedly the leading picks.

Who could say “I pity the fool!” the best???

I personally think Ice Cube's the best for this...

reason : I don't think Game can act, Common's voice isn't as strict...and MR.T needs that deep thing ! so Cube it is ! LOL
