THEY WON'T USE THE "N" WORD BUT LOOK OUT FOR THE "A" WORD.

If you have been paying attention to the criticism of Barack Obama you will have noticed a transition from the inexperienced description to the arrogant. Most of us know that arrogant is the word used to describe men of color that are better at what they do - in this case campaigning - than white men. Take notice the next time you hear an analysis about him or his campaign. Arrogant is the word they use when they have already used the words "articulate", "inexperienced" and "lazy". It's the 21st century way to say "Nigger" without actually saying it.

Sniper Elite

MF Doom, Jay Dilla, and Ghostface were working on the 'Dilla Ghost Doom' album until Dilla's untimely death. Here is a sampling of what could have been.
Sniper Elite & Murder Goons (Bonus) - Dilla Ghost Doom

Dilla spliced two very dope but very different beats together allowing Doom and Ghost to shine on tracks suited to their unique styles. Ghost's rapid fire, in the pocket rhyme is dope, but Doom's now classic slow flow is such a masterpiece of minimalism that it renders Ghost's verse irrelevant, almost to the point of annoying. I find myself rewinding the track as soon as Doom's verse ends, foregoing what otherwise would be a killer Ghost track - and I'm a Ghostface fanatic. This is the second time Doom and Ghost have shared the same track ('the mask' - Danger Doom album) and Doom continues to make Ghost look average; a nearly impossible feat.

Considering that Doom is likely the most talented mc of all time and Dilla is arguably hip hop's most revered producer, the fact that this album was not finished is one of history's great tragedies. Hyperbolic yes, but true.

Hey Estelle, THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND!

Rest In Peace baby, you made me laugh too much for me to say anything nasty or snide about you. Your one liners were the backbone of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time and I love you so much I will never, ever, ever bring myself to mention that movie you made with Sylvester Stallone, "Stop or My mom will shoot." Thank you for being a friend, Estelle. Sophia will live in my heart forever.

HOLY FAMILY VALUES, BATMAN. IS IT TRUE THAT YOU BEAT UP YOUR FAMILY?

YO sometimes i don't get along with my mother but this is ridiculous. What kind of hater family does Batman Christian Bale have that would ruin his greatest moment with an assault charge? I kind of feel sorry for him but when I think about how much money he made in the time that it took me to write this I feel way less sorry than I did at first.

okay WNBA now you've got my attention!

Okay guys now you've got my attention. Forget basketball but once the girls start fighting then I care about the game.
How about this: have the girls fight but in bikinis and then play basketball. I guarantee if the WNBA does that then more people will be watching the games than lesbians and degenerate gamblers.

THIS ELECTION I AM VOTING FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE I LOVE AMERICA!

Don’t judge me but this year I am casting my VOTE for John McCain. Not because I think he's the better candidate or because I think he'll even live out his first term (I don’t).
No, the reason why I'm voting for McCain is because I love this country. And I know that if Obama wins, a terrible cycle will start; Inauguration, assassination then ALL OUT RACE WAR. So if you don’t want to see a bloody civil war in this country, cast your vote for the guy that reminds you of Abe Simpson. Do it for your country.

OKAY FOR THE LAST TIME HERE ARE THE RULES WHEN IT COMES TO THE N WORD!

for the last time: White people can't say it unless they are reciting words to a rap song. Blacks can say it whenever but should not say it in mixed company and Latinos should not say it unless they are darker than a brown paper bag. okay. got it. now go and tell those yentas on The View roc belushi said move on to something else.

YES I AM GOING TO TAKE IT BACK - REMEMBERING RALPH CARTER FROM GOOD TIMES!

Rarely do supporting actors get their proper credit. Ralph Carter was the kid that didn't get most of the story lines on Good Times but he did get the best line, "Mamma, boy is a white racist word." He was the midget militant, the smart young one and lets call a spade a spade the gay one in the family. He was very womanly towards the end of the run of Good Times but he did leave us with this gem, "when you're young and in love." Enjoy:

MORGAN FREEMAN SHOULD BE VICE PRESIDENT AND HERE'S WHY...

Sure Clinton, Biden and Powell are all good candidates but what Obama needs is the white vote. Who do white people trust more than Morgan Freeman? He acts with young white girls, makes Batman's toys and he's even played GOD...twice. Morgan Freeman is just the type of guy that can takeover for Obama once he's taken out. If you don't believe me go rent that meteor movie where he played The President.

DON'T HATE ON JESSE - HE'S LIKE THE DRUNK UNCLE IN YOUR FAMILY!

Recently

Uncle

Jesse Jackson was caught on videotape saying bad things about Barack Obama. Jesse said that he thought that Barack was talking down to Black people during his Father’s Day speech and Jesse also said that he wanted to cut Obama’s nuts off and also has reportedly called him the “n- word”. Whatever. Jesse is and will always be the reason that Barack is even in the position he was in. He shouldn’t have said that but he did and apologized for it. End of story. Barack forgave him and moved on. Let our drunk Uncle say what he wants and ignore him until he’s done talking like we normally do.

HEY A -ROD IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO AFTER SOME OLD SNATCH THIS IS THE OLD SNATCH THAT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT!

THIS IS WHO A- ROD SHOULD BE TRYING TO FUCK!
Forget Madonna, Helen Mirren is the chick that could get it in. 60's or 70's. Don’t tell my wife but I have a crush on a cougar with an accent. Damn, girl, you still look like you can break a brother off and make it sound sexy with that brit accent of yours. I bet A – Rod would love to taste that dish. They both have a lot in common; they are both famous, they are both wealthy and neither of them have won a world championship for The New York Yankees.

HOW IS THE WIRE NOT NOMINATED FOR ONE EMMY AWARD?

What kind of bullshit awards show is the Emmys? How can you have an awards show and The Wire not be nominated? When the Sopranos ended their run, the Television Academy went out of their way to kiss the asses of that Mafia show. Is the Wire not getting recognized because the majority of the cast are African - American? Are they getting ignored because the subject matter of drugs, violence and poverty wasn't glamorized or made funny? Was the show ignored because the people that vote just didn't watch it? Whatever the reason the fact of the matter is the Emmys this year will be a travesty. The Wire was hands down the best show on television while it was on. Period. The actors from the wire should just bumrush the stage ODB style when the award for best show is announced. Long live the wire. Fuck the Emmys.

ALL HAIL LEROY - THE GODFATHER OF STREET DANCING!

If you are over 30 then you know the deal:

Gene Anthony Ray (Harlem's own), better known as “Leroy” from Fame is the Godfather of street dancing. His moves on Fame were the beginning of the moves that we now see today. The gestures, movements and lets face it the very, very super - effeminate mannerisms that Leroy did took root and has now blossomed into a dance culture that has given us movies like “Step up”, “You got Served”, reality television shows like, “So you think you can dance” and music from the South that encourages us all to dance - “Crank Dat”, “It’s going down” and every other Southern song where groups ask you to do something other than listen to their horrible lyrics. So the next time that you are doing the chicken noodle soup, walking it out or the motorcycle dance remember; it all started with Leroy.

All Hail Leroy the greatest street dancer of all time.

GHETTO SNACK OF THE MOMENT: WISE CRUNCHY CHEESE DOODLES

What more has to be said about the ghetto snack that would leave your tongue, fingers and small intestines orange? The Crunchy kind was the one I was in favor of. The Puffy kind was too ghetto for me. It reminded too much of welfare stamps and 40 ounces.

IS IT ME OR DOES IT SEEM LIKE WHITE CRACKHEADS ARE THE NEW BLACK?

America is telling us that when a white crackhead does something it's okay if they make good music



or when they hit the ball really, really far

Harlem Hubris Presents it's first ever installment of: BUT IT'S OKAY WHEN THEY DO IT!

Something that every person knows living in America:
there are double standards in our society and sometimes those double standards can based on the complexion of one's skin.


Let's talk about forced into retirement Home run King Barry Lamar Bonds



and Yankee slugger Jason Giambi.



They both were implicated in The B.A.L.C.O. scandal that accused athletes from every sport with taking performance enhancing drugs.
While they both were considered cheaters only one is still playing ball.

The white one. While Jason Giambi is still earning a living playing the national pastime, Bonds is being blackballed and may soon be sent up the river on trumped up perjury charges related to the witch hunt that took place as he surpassed Ruth and then Hank Aaron in home runs.

IT'S OKAY WHEN THEY DO IT

TOO BAD TONY SNOW DIED OF CANCER BUT IT'S STILL - one less bitch i gotta worry about!

is the death curse in washington, d.c. affecting conservatives or just reporters? believe me no one knows, that's why right now chris wallace and trent lott are both shaking in their boots.

i liked tony snow because he seemed to actually believe in most of that shit he was peddling while he served as an "objective" anchor on fox news sunday and when he officially became a spin doctor as the official white house spokesman.

just because he believed in it doesn't make it right. i wish that he could have lived longer so that one day he could apologize for all the damage he has done.

Tumbleweed Mac

Remember how at the end of Kings, Bernie Mac said he would change his act to get a TV show? And he got his show, and no thanks to Steve Harvey, he got the Ocean gigs. Life was good.

And then came the Obama fundraiser in Chicago last night....

Mac joked, “My little nephew came to me and he said, ‘Uncle, what’s the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?’ ”Mac said. “I said, I don’t know, but I said, ‘Go upstairs and ask your mother if she’d make love to the mailman for $50,000.’ ”

The joke rambled on until it came to the punchline that he and his nephew lived with “two hos.”

The crowd didn't like it, and neither did our fearless involved-father, Barack. He took the stage telling Mac to clean up his act.

Oh Mac, you came so far and now there is no love. Obviously to stay safe, Obama might have to go with Chris Tucker (who does a mean Bill impression - so maybe not a good thing when pretending to love thy enemy) or Harvey (wouldn't that just bite Mac in the ass!)

Blood in the water

So first we have Jesse's gaffe, and as the NY Times states, "if Mr. Jackson is not longer the leader of of black Democrats, it seem to fair to ask if Mr. Obama, in fact, is." (Don't get me started on the whole post-racial world crap - whites try way to often to have it both ways in terms of Obama). (And might I also throw out there that I don't think Jesse was caught unawares, he knew what he was doing. The man is too much of a professsional media type - bloody shirt! - to not know. But I digress.)

But now the Times also has brought Congressman Rangel's four rent-stablized apartments to light - one being a campaign office (a legal no-no).

With Jesse Jr., telling his father, "Keep Hope Alive," and a possible investigation into Rangel's life (long over do if you ask me) - my question is, is there blood in the water for the old guard?

Maxwell and Bilal..MY BAD

A couple posts back I took a nasty swipe at neo-soul vets Maxwell and Bilal. In an effort to assuage my guilt and under some pressure from my girlfriend to embrace my softer side, I decided to post a couple obscure gems from both artists. If you enjoyed the Andre 3 stacks and J Legend (and Roc I know YOU most certainly did) you should dig these tracks:

ascension (j dilla remix) - Maxwell

Hands Of Time - Bilal

How bad must your movie be when YOU DON'T EVEN SHOW UP TO YOUR OWN PREMIERE?

Eddie Murphy is at it again. Making movies just so that he can pay off trannies. "Meet Dave" looks Pluto Nash bad. It looks awful. It looks so bad that it has me thinking, "damn I miss the days when Eddie gave us quality work like Norbit." Besides Dreamgirls and those embarrassing Shrek roles where Eddie is the voice of a jackass, Eddie doesn't even seem to be trying. He is becoming the Burt Reynolds of our generation. I wouldn't be surprised if his next movie is released straight to DVD or even worse straight to BET.

Hancock should have beenn titled "Handjob" because watching it jerked me out of 35 bucks

This movie was going good until it got to it's jungle fever climax. Will Smith and the rest of the cast probably stopped reading the script after the first ten pages. That's the only explanation for a movie like this that starts off good and ends with me leaving the theater before the end credits start to roll.

It's the summer and teachers say...

To all my fellow teachers out there in the field... Have a great summer!

The Williams Sisters have done it again - NOW IF THEY CAN JUST GET SOMEONE TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR WEAVES!

Well the Williams girls have done it again. After Venus (the tall one) beat her younger sister, Serena (the one with the huge ass) to win her fifth Wimbledon title, both sisters got together to win the Wimbledon doubles title. Now that it's clear that they have their focus and determination back in regards to tennis, isn't it time that someone helps them with their hair? Their hair looks so bad. Sometimes it looks like they get their weaves done by a white woman in a strip mall hair salon. With all that money they earn by kicking major ass on the tennis circuit why can't they just hire a dominican for the doobie, an African for the braids and a sister for the style and perm?

A- ROD AND MADONNA - WHO KNEW?

A - Rod and his wife Cynthia are getting a divorce. Apparently, Cynthia says that A - Rod and Madonna are getting it on. Madonna denies this and says that her and her husband that she made that crappy movie with, Guy Ritchie are still together. At first I thought that it was odd that A - Rod would do anything with Madonna seeing that most dudes that I know go by the unwritten rule of, "never go behind Dennis Rodman."
But then I thought about it; A - Rod and Madonna have a lot in common:
they're both super rich, they're both super famous and they both have never won a championship for the New York Yankees.

jesse helms is dead - ONE LESS BITCH I GOTTA WORRY ABOUT!

Jesse Helms is dead and i can't say that I'm sad. On the contrary I'm very happy. I have been praying for his death since the 80's. You know what they say, God may not come when you call but he's always on time.

THE TAKE OVER!

Smoke a joint.....Turn on "The Take Over" (Jay-Z 'The Blueprint' or "The Rape Over" which is Mos Def's dope rendition) and let this Classic Ebony cover sink in........

Happy July 4th ....

Andre 3000 and John Legend Collabo

Peep the soon to be club banger.

Green Light (ft. Andre3000) - John Legend

I guess this is what happens when you put two of the most effeminate niggas in the game in the studio.

Somebody get Bilal and Maxwell on the phone, there are some diss record opportunities here.

Kobe goes Back II the Future

Good and Bad news for all you Shoe Nazi's out there.

Nike is releasing the highly anticpated Back to the Future Marty McFly inspired Hyperdunk and Kobe is the pitchman. Speaking on belhaf of all the Kobe enthusiasts out there, it's about time Nike gave this man a decent shoe. Not only did Mr.Laker show up at the popular LA shoe store Undfeated, but he showed up in retro fashion, with the timeless classic DMC Delorean by his side. The first 10 people in line, got to meet Kobe Bryant, take a picture with him and even get his autograph on the highly sought after sneakers, after a long wait that extended past 24 hours.

The bad news for all you Back II the Future fans is that the shoe falls short of the original, auto lacing, Super High top that Marty rocked in Back to the Future part II. Check the Youtube link below

Now, if Kobe could only go back in time and resist the urge to excuse his extra-marital affairs by ratting out Shaq he may have avoided this suprisingly decent little number - 'Kobe, how's my Ass taste?'

Torture circa 1957

So it turns out that our Guantánamo Bay interrogation techniques come from China! Is nothing American made anymore?

These techniques come from a 1957 United States Air Force study of

"Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean War to obtain confessions, many of them false, from American prisoners."

There is sense of USA pride in the fact that our military men (there were little to no women in the Korean War, certainly none in combat - a fun tradition that continues to this day!) kept silent on the truth, but that really isn't the point.

Point 1: if we know that these "techniques" lead to false confessions, then WHY ARE WE USING THEM?

Point 2: since the federal government (namely the Bush Administration and the Justice Department) say that these "techniques" are not illegal or bad, then obviously it wasn't bad for our American troops during the Korean War! Do you think our POWs would agree with that assessment?
