I like artists who seem comfortable in their own skin. Sometimes I'll see an artist who looks like he's (or she's) determined to be a carbon copy of another successful artist to make it. I respect those who aren't like anybody else.

1. Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Loveshow Live from Madison Square Garden: I was watching him on "Friends with Benefits" before I went to work today and now I'm watching this DVD I got from Netflix. Yesterday a co-worker mentioned to me that Justin Bieber wants to be like Justin Timberlake. As far as I knew, Bieber looked up to Usher. I don't see anything similar to him and Justin Timberlake outside of being white. But there's something I genuinely enjoy about watching Justin Timberlake perform. I don't own any of his CDs but have bought all the singles, seen all his movies and love to watch him dance live. He easily embraces hip-hop culture without looking like he had an overdose of BET. His voice is nice on the ears without trying too hard. And he's cool. While the term "swag" is being incredibly overused these days, J.T. actually has swag. And after watching this DVD and hearing all these songs I knew nothing about, I'm headed directly to Amazon to buy it all!

2. iHeartRadio 24/7 Comedy Radio: I listened to this today at work after getting an e-blast and I am hooked. I was in a good mood the entire day at work cracking up laughing at this collabo of comedians. Some jokes are edgy but none are disrespectful. There are icons like Bill Cosby and Chris Rock mixed with newer comedians I'm not familiar with, and the collection is diverse. I will be glued to this station when I'm trying to stay in a good mood.

What are you smiling about? Pt. II

1. The Breakfast Club: I have no idea why I looked up The Breakfast Club. I'm not from New York nor have I ever been to New York. I had never heard of Charlamagne The God, Angela Yee or DJ Envy, but I remembered this joke Charlamagne made on Twitter about how folks better not mess with Chris Brown at an awards show because he showed up in jean shorts. I thought that was kinda funny and from the amount of followers, I figured he was probably popular but I had no clue why. For whatever reason I still can't recall, I looked up The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 Monday and I've been listening to this show at work everyday. They are hilarious, and I usually can't stand to hear people talk on the radio. I like these personalities though.

2. Hood State of the Union: I found out about this while listening to Charlamagne talk to T-Pain. He said something about T-Pain and Kevin Hart stealing an idea of his, and I looked him and Lil Duval. Although I didn't find the rap they were talking about, I did luck up on all of these ridiculous videos about their views on entertainment. I laughed through almost all of them.
