Understand I don't do this for anyone, my analytical mind can't help but to see how I can make something profitable or avantageous for myself and others but please know I write only for me and GOD. That's just what it is, and as I increase in circle of influence and understanding I tell you this I care less about the outward gains and more about the inward beauties that I must sustain. I am writing this now because the ill wills cannot remain in the presence of light. Creativity is light, please understand that, those that destroy do so because they are unable to create. WE make a choice every moment whether we will create or destroy, sustain or let go. I learned a lesson a couple years ago, that was that I MUST ALWAYS BE FULLY PRESENT. I laxed on my studies and therefore failed a pop quiz. I will no however fail this test, I apologize to myself for slipping, for slacking, that is not who I was created to be and that is now what I work so hard to sustain. The lapse is over, and I have put a guard up as it will not occur again, I regret nothing, even this lapse becuase I am glad it happened now and not when I have all I want. . .then that could be depressing LOL, yeah bitch (Kenya voice) LOL :) See this is me, resilliant, platinum lining, dimples showing, Opal Ellyse. . .fuk what ya heard, I talke new now :) To quote my boy Deb: "GOD IS MAKING SURE I WANT THIS AS BAD AS HE WANTS ME TO HAVE IT." AND I DO. . .yes married to HIM "I do" :)

Once a Dream is Deferred it ain't gone forever. . or ever

2011-02-19T13:26:00.000-08:00

Yo I used to hate basketball, all while growing up I just thought it was the wakest sport. . .then in 8th grade I fell in love with this boy, he was tall, when he became my boyfriend all he wanted to do on our lil dates was play basketball, so I started to like it, in 9th grade all my friends wanted me to play basketball so I did. . .that year our coaches took all the freshman teams to a UW Badger women's game, they were playing Illinois, that day I fell in love with basketball. I still remember the sounds the smells, the lights in the field house, I can see it all. A dream was born in me to play Division 1 college basketball. I worked my ass off that summer and I was on Varsity as a Sophomore, one of only two brought up, looked like I was getting closer to my dream. . I made state ranked lists, had 20 point games lead the conference in rebounding all by the time I wa a junior. But my dream didn't happen. My Sr year was good, but not as good, I had offers from every JuCo and Division 3 school in the state and Midwest, but that wasn't my dream, to me no scholarship, no dream come true. . .I don't know why, with my grades and ACT scores matched with coming from a low income home my school was going to be paid for anyway!!! So stupid lol, just blinded by a path I created, not seeing the blessings laid before me as bridges to the dream. So I ended up walking on to a Division 2 college team. Most depressing time in my life, yeah I made the team, free shoes, perks, school paid for, but I didn't play. Practices were harder than anything I ever did up to that point. . .and with none of the glory, none of the personal satisfaction. . . plus the team was loosing, not getting to play for a loosing team sucks lol:) So me and some others quit, just like that, I didn't even think of transferring to one of the D3 or Jucos, I could have with ease. Nope I was stubborn and stuck. I had other dreams at the same time I mean a degree in psychology was one of them, I was still pursuing that but ya'll just don't know how much I loved basketball: ) So anyway what prompted this post is today I took my daughter to a Badger Women's game, I haven't been to one in years, and you know just seeing them was cool cuz I still love the game but at the same time I swear I felt like I had majorly failed at something, at basketball, and not achieving that dream. I don't think I have honestly ever faced it either, I've made excuses for it, and rationalized it to myself but never really accepted that I had that dream, I worked at it, I got far with it but ultimately I did not achieve that dream even though I believed I would, half my daydreams were about hooping, the other half about boys, is that even normal lol:) I don't know but it's my life. And realizing today that I didn't make it for that despite the fact that I have accomplished so many other things, like the degree in psychology, like having a beautiful daughter, like falling in love. . .a few times:) Like climbing a corporate ladder, all that couldn't change the shame I felt when I saw them warming up on that court, warmingup just like I had the day I fell in love with basketball. Anyway it made me feel something after the shame though, something that took the place of the shame. . .I felt renewed, I was able to admit to myself that I held the fear that because basketball didn't pan out for me like I hoped that I am scared to death that the same will happen with my music. I LOVE music, always have, I'm good at it too, but I was good at basketball too, still I am much better at rapping than I was at basketball, even so I fear there is a pattern of hoping, believing, working hard, getting close and failing. Lord I do not want that, but being afraid to really admit that to myself kept that fear alive, well I shout if from the rooftop now, and facing that killed it, and death of one thing leads to life of another. The life in me was the realization that I have to do things, everything with 1000%, that's ten times what its supposed to take because I want something so great, I want it all, and the only way to never feel that shame is to do it, and do it now until forever. So if I can't do it 1000% then I quit it, in whatever area it is, so that means if I love it then I have to give it my all, and if I don't love it, well I have to stop being greedy and let it go, the death of those things will lead to the life of what God means for me to be. . .just as the death of this shame, fear and doubt caused by not realizing my dream of basketball has lead to the life of revaluation in my dreams and lifestyle now. . .Wow, GOD is so amazing how he lines things up, isn't He:)
Always a Pleasure,
- Opal

Gotta get this shit out

2011-01-25T17:47:00.001-08:00

So. .. . .basically I'm detoxing, from plenty shh, I had a stressfull time two years ago, then had to totally detox and change my life, things got beyond better and I had a platform to make everything happen that I wanted, I started doing that but forgot what got me detoxed and destressed in the first place, so over the past few months some shh has crept up on me. Now as in today I'm really seeing what has to get out, how imparative it is, and the strictness that needs to accompany that. I've been doing a lot of shh 75% in real life and 150% in my head and beacuse most MF do shh 50% I look good, but fuk that and fuk most MF, I want to be great, it's now or never. . . Last chance, this time, I'm going in ya'll. . .YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM ME!! WONDERFULLY:) "I hear the criticism loud and clear/that is how I know that the time is near/" - Nicki Minaj. . .I hear you Onika, I hear u:)

Pink Friday Review

2010-11-29T20:39:00.000-08:00

I have been looking forward to this one for a while now, here's the truth on it. . in my opinion:)

1. "I'm the Best" - This here is the best album intro since Fabolous' Intro on Loso's way, which was a classic intro. Nicki comes with punchline after punchline but still tells a story(one of her best skills). She opens up and is introspective while displaying her lyrical ability without the animation. . .this track let's you know this will not be an album full of "Massive Attacks".
2. "Roman's Revenge" - If you haven't heard this one, google it N-O-W! Her and Em both snap, one of Em's dopest verses this yr, Nicki goes in on a no mistake non beating around the bush dis at Lil Kim. . .and she kills it. . f the "kick that ho, punt" line. . .how bout "has been, yeah Has Been. . .put it on the wall, flat screen/". There are crazy Nicki voices on this one, but with her and Em snapping it flows right.
3. "Did it On Em" - aka Shitted on em, this track is super potty mouth, not for kids in the car, but it's hot. . .in the fashion of Trina's "Killin you Hoes" it's an anthem but most def Nik's style.
4. "Right Thru Me" - Nice single, who can't relate to the real life relationship drama scenarios she spits, the hook sounds great and is catchy yet still a lil hood if you cop the unedited version (only way to go by the way). She proves D.O.A. doesn't apply to girls.
5. "Fly" - this one is cool, but you think Rhi and Nicki, so much potential, so I was a bit disappointed. . .good message but something about it is missing that magic Rhianna usually brings to inspiring anthems like live yo life, run this town, and all of the lights, so you have to hear it at least 5 times before you're really feeling it. . but it's not terrible, I just wanted more from the two of them, great message though.
6. "Save Me" - Not my fav at all. . .sounds like she wrote a hook and tried to make it into a whole song. . .it lacks creativity and a whole bunch of other stuff, still if it took the place of "Massive Attack" I'm all for it!
7. "Moment for Life" - The predicted Drake Collab. . .I like that they went a lil introspective on this one, cuz her and Drizzy do that best, and we might have expected a love song or a shit talking fest. . .but the song comes across as true because they are both new to the fame monster and both love it, despite any life changes that come from it.
8. "Check it out" - Good dance joint, it is what it is, two thumbs up for that, not lyrical but it isn't supposed to be.
9. "Blazin" - I like this joint, features Kanye and it's the first time I have heard him talk to Amber Rose in the first person, so it's kinda hot for that. . .they mesh well on this one, fun song.
10. "Here I am" - This is her NYC cut, classic sample. . .believable, she needs this joint on here to show she has that NY street rap, especially to compete with Kim, but it feels kind of forced, again not terrible though. . .the Woman hear me roar chant is the best part. . . might have been better as just an interlude.
11. "Dear Old Nicki" - One of the BEST album cuts on here. . not a single of course but it gives her fans that needed piece to relate too. . .probably could convert some haters with this one.
12. "Your Love" - Although we are all about sick of it by now this is a damn decent single, great transitions between a bananas hook and a good verses over an outstanding sample beat.
13. "Last Chance" - too popy sensation with this one on the hook and beat. . .too animated on the verses, not a fav either.
14. "Super Bass" - Cool, the only bonus track I like
15. "Blow Ya Mind" - too much goin on = Nope, I liked her flow on the verses though. . contrary to what she says on it though. . THIS IS NOT THE ANTHEM.
16. "Muny" - Wack beat. . somebody will like it though

WHAT I'VE LEARNED

2010-11-29T20:32:00.000-08:00

Stuff to live by:

1. You know best, when you don't think you know, get still, pray and get still again, God will lead you, people(whether they mean harm or good) will usually lead you in the wrong direction because they have a limited view of who you are, you on the other hand can see everything if you want to.

2. Nothing is impossible

3. People fear highly unlikely negative events all the time, yet doubt the possibility of great things they assume are one in a million occurrences. . .in reality those things usually happen much more frequently than one in a million:)

4. Your thoughts equal your reality, if you don't like something then change it.

I have a bunch more but you can marinate on these for a while:)

Simple Math

2010-10-15T06:18:00.000-07:00

You know back in high school I used to say all the time "If you are not adding to me then you are taking away from me." I've graduated from high school and college but that still holds true today and sometimes life will have an abrupt way of reminding you of your inner truths.

Killing Cows and Making Burgers

2010-09-20T12:00:00.000-07:00

Not for public (:
So today, I realized that I'm at the point in my journey where the prep time is essentially over, I've prepared all I can, I've studied, I've observed, I've imitated, I've visualized how it is to go and now it is time for doing. . .rather time for BEING. I can't rely on the "maybe I will get it right someday" or the scared anticipation of what I've hoped for. No faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Time to step out on that on all levels at all times, none of this, out there for this, but I'm just now quite ready that crap. Excuse my bluntness but that's just how it is when I'm talking to myself:)
Today I realized that yes I am blessed beyond belief, and yes it is all GOD, but reaching the point I am at now means that it is time to "Make Manifest", it is time for me to use what GOD has on the inside of ME and make things happen, that I have to reach for these things in the name of JESUS, with the belief in GOD and know that I can make it happen. I can't be a beacon of light if I don't. The phrase "I am more than a conqueror", never quite made since to me. . .but it does now, I take it in the sense that I am more than just a vessel, more than just the medium. God created me to create, to add to this world and his people, I am not a robot, I am what God created, I am what he intended to make, I have to be tapped into the God in me at all times and actually make things happen, not just watch them. Like I said by no means am I saying it's me and not God, because it is all God. The realization is that God lives in me, just like he does everyone else and I have to be comfortable being that child of God and allowing myself to be and do, to live what he wrote on my heart and take action. I've spent almost a decade killing this cow, and all of my years before that raising it. . .now my friends it is absolutely without a doubt time for Opal to make those burgers. . .and I'm making em baby:)

Oh and. . .

I'm not concieted I am finally CONFIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):) That is Love, Blessings, and Favor baby:)

What I'm on

2010-09-11T22:45:00.000-07:00

I want it all, I will have it all, I am it all. That's that, that right there is what I'm on. . .I have been blessed to take some time and go hard for my dreams, to have time to prepare for my devine destiny. . .Jigga's line "I'm on the practice field running 2 a day, so I don't drop the ball when it's threw my way" comes to mind when describing what I'm doing right now. I can feel the shift though, I've prepared you know, I've been in the gym, I've been visualizing, I've been writting, recording, performing. . .and that will continue, I've built that foundation so that is my lifestyle and now I know it's time to step into my divine destiny and BE who I am. Right now, whethere I think I'm ready or not doesn't matter, becuase the opportunities and situations have presented themselves in response to my being ready, that right there is all the confirmation I need. . . God says go, I say how high and TYJ and Alelujah!!!

Keyshia Dior told me that she gets parts becuase she already looks like what they want, they don't have to imagine when they see her, she is that already. . .she does it herself too. . for modeling that what she has to come with, her look, her aura, her walk, her talk. For me I'm an artist, I too have to come with my look, but my sound has to be ready as well, I have to be an artist I'd look up to right now. . . when I hear myself on the radio and in the studio, I am that, I love my sound, I love what I say and how I say it. . .My look has got to meet that as well. . .time to cross that imaginary line in my mind and put the "touches" on it. I took some time off from that, I developed what I needed to on the inside, and on the world around me, now it's time to let that shine through, super blessed and TYJ I'm ready:)

The TASTE

2010-09-11T22:34:00.000-07:00

Ha, appropriately named "The Taste" aka The Taste of Madison gave me a taste of what I am meant to do. . .as if I didn't know. . .Rocking for thousands of people live was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Whoooo TYJ Awesome ya dig:) I fed off their energy like whoa, 15K people were there, performing on the 93.1 JAMZ stage was awesome in itself cuz I made history as the first female rapper from Wisconsin to Play the Taste of Madison, not on some toot my own horn shhh but more on some, it's never been done before, now it has,let's keep blazin trails shh:) Anyway I just had to share how they made me feel, the energy was incredible, I literally fed off of them, same way I do in a club but it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more intense and really way more euphoric because of the huge crowd. . .and I'm getting used to this for sho:)

"THE SEXIEST VOICE IN THE MIDWEST"

2010-04-27T10:18:00.000-07:00

Yes boys and girls I have officially been named the Sexiest Voice in the Midwest:) I will take that n roll with it too. . . I've always known, well no not really, in 6Th grade I hated my voice, but when I became a teenager and was talking to boys on the phone they would always say I had a sweet voice, as high school proceeded the term sweet voice went to sexy and one of the first rap records I laid down caused a male friend to say that my voice made his dick get hard:) I loved that, just another tool in my arsenal (pun intended). . .now that I'm a grown woman I can rock that sexy voice, my raps have substance, my lyrics can battle any man's lyrics and win, but still that sexy voice allows me to make even haters listen:) Hip Hop has a sign on it's front door it reads: NO GIRLS ALLOWED, BUT SEXY BITCHES COME ON IN. . . .guess my voice gets me a pass:)

Back on Turkey Sandwiches

2010-01-11T21:59:00.000-08:00

For those of you that don't know me I'ma let you know that I have what I call "fat tendencies", that doesn't mean I'm fat, cuz I'm not but I did have some chubby years and I most definitely have to work out a lot and eat pretty healthy if I want to stay looking good. Right now I'm working out 6 days a week because I want to make sure I am the "total package" when it comes time to sign a record deal because when a label is signing a female artist they have more "liability" because our hair, make up and wardrobe cost more than it would for a male artist. So taking the advice from a true diva I have to "look how they want me to look already". . that means I gotta work out daily like I'm on TV already. . .I'm most def fit but still a lil too "thick" so I've decided to go Back on Turkey sandwhices. I lost a good amount of weight a few years back and kept it off with ease until I had my daughter, and let me tell you about 75% of my dinners were turkey on wheat, mustard, lettuce sandwiches, and a salad. So I was watching this Keyshia Dior (stylist/model/actress) and she was eating a turkey sandwich both times so I took that as a sign and I'm back on it:) I think I want to start fasting Saturdays as well. . .that's the only day I don't go to the gym so that makes sense. . I don't really advise working out with no fuel in the tank:)

I don't work for them or anything like that, I use their products and they actually define my curls and leave them soft. . .not all hard like mousse, sticky and wet like gel, or frizzy and unkept like oil sheen and other products. They smell great and are all natural too. I'm so happy I can wear my hair how GOD intended and have it look great for my shows, photoshoots, or whatever. . .no worrying about humidity or if I am going to sweat out my hairstyle. . .dang wish I knew about them while I was on my trips to Miami:) Check the products out on www.mixedchicks.net

I'm just an MC's MC

2010-01-01T19:56:00.000-08:00

I'm just an MC's MC that's it point blank period. . . I'm fully conscious but my rhymes come from another realm. . .I don't write for what I "think" others need or want to hear, I write from what I hear when the track is played. I write how I talk, not how what I listen to sounds. Subject matter ranges from the everyday and almost insignificant to the profound, from the pure cockiness and staking my claim to the humble scribe showing you the big picture. That's just me, I L-O-V-E music, and especialy hip hop. . .it's my air I need it all the time, I run faster with it, I can calm down or get hype off of it depending the song. . . anyway with 2010 just hitting, my major realization is that my lane is my lane. I don't give a rats ass if those who are in a crowded lane view my music as too sexy, or too hood, or too pop, or too soft, or too preachy, or too secular. . . anybody can have an opinion on it, but I'm not conforming to any of it, my changes will come from within, I go in the direction where GOD leads me, not sisters, not brothers, not lovers, not guys or dolls. Money, yeah money can influence my marketing, I'm no dummy, but not my product. . . . my product is my own. . . I make it, I got the recipe. . . no one's fuckin with that:) ****** and let me just yell this from the rooftop. . .if you are not me, or Lauryn Hill, you are NOT my competition cuz I don't want your spot. And to Lauryn you set the bar for female hip hop artists period, in my eyes you are the best that did it so far, that's the mark I'm trying to get to. . . .in my own lane of course:)

Un Following "twittle bitches"

2009-09-18T23:28:00.000-07:00

So twitter is cool for a lot of shh. . .it's a super easy n quick way to get a message 2 a bunch of folks with a link to my music, video or contest or something but so it feeds the extrovert in me but at the same time I get to endulge my introvert by using it for information and inspiration from celebs and other cool people in the world. Great. . .now the BS is the shh that Diddy does. . .I mean come on dude, u got millions, plus u get paid to twitter/tweet whatever. . n u still using it for free advertising. . .and not just a lil but so much I'm bout to unfollow his black ass right now lol, but I'm so serious. . .shoot I stopped following Ragen Gomez Preston (actress cuz u mighta not a known. .she's no Angela Bassette) cuz the bitch was so damn stuck up. . I mean her tweets made me wana slap her. . .not directed torwards me just like are u for real child type shh lol:) I'm hood, my bougie tollerance aint that dang high. Anyway yeah I'm a keep u posted for these twittle bitches so you don't waste ur time n follow they asses. . .bottom line if you are a celebrity who needs fans to make money. . .don't go on twitter if your personality sucks cuz u will loose $ that way.
Pieces, love to all:)

I have a dream

Hey what's up, salutations, hola, what every you want:)
I'm Opal Ellyse, a female rapper outta Madison, Wisconsin, yeah I know right lol, seriously though, we got decent lil hip hop movement here, anyway I'd be doing this dead or alive so it don't really matter. I haven't really determined which superhero I can really relate to, I mean yes by day I am this "square" who teaches physicians how to use medical record software and totes around a laptop to different locations, wearing fresh pressed form fitting slacks, heels n preppy sweaters. But my joy is rockin shows in clubs, recording in the studio til all hours of the morning, and riding beats like a surfer rides hawaian waves. I digress, but see it's all to the good cuz I'm from humble beginnings (aka da hood) and to have a college degree n a good job means I've already made it. See being who I am right now would have seemed impossible just a few short years ago when I was in high school. . .so red carpets, MTV videos, Grammys, sellin out Madison Square Garden. . .. yeah I can see myself doin that, and I will.
Stay in tune for my freestyle videos, videos of me in the studio, and other creative notes that happen while I'm livin this dream.
