Calm Down Folks!

2011-08-30T11:18:00.000-07:00

OK dammit, calm down! Lil Wayne is in fact expected to sell somewhere between 700k-850k copies of his latest release, The Carter IV. At that pace, he's sure to outsell Ye and Jay's Watch The Throne. So let's briefly put this in perspective before the nation's jegging-wearing, young Weezy-ites crown him king.

Exhibit A: How may records did MC Hammer sell when he was at his hottest? A shit load. How many records did Ice Cube (solo) sell at his hottest? not nearly as big of a shit load as MC Hammer. Who's better?

Exhibit B (I'm gonna use pictures for this one, in case any Weezy-ites are reading this and I'm moving too fast for you/there's too many words on the screen for your brain to digest at once):

We all know McDonald's will never be as good as Le Bernardin, but the reality is more people eat at McD's. Why? Because it's cheap, it's fast, and it's always accessible. It's the culinary equivalent of a whore. OK, yeah yeah yeah, i hear you Weezy-ites- "But Jay and Kanye are always talkin' about NUMBERS- "men lie, women lie, numbers dont"- remember that?!!". Sure do- and I'm sure as Jay polishes his gold baby dinosaur egg-encrusted Hublot, he recalls saying something to that effect as well. And IF Wayne does win this sales race, it won't be the first loss Jay has taken (see 'Ether'), although the other one was at the hands of a much more worthy opponent. Side note- let's see if Wayne can go Gold in a week at 42 years old.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not a Jigga Warrior, and i actually like Weezy. But, much like the hour after you consume a big mac, if you digest The Carter IV you will feel sluggish and empty afterwards. Meanwhile I'm still digesting the wordplay on Jay's verse on Welcome to the Jungle, where he reincarnates himself as MJ, Pimp C, B.I.G, and Weezy even ("My tears is tatted / My rag in my pocket"). Watch the Throne is made with free range, cage-free Whole Foods ingredients; intended for consumption by the well-informed. Carter IV is... well, it's junk food. And while i prefer home cooked meals, every now and then, even i like to eat McDonald's fries. The choice is yours.

Food for thought, you do the dishes...

SHOTS FIRED- LIL WAYNE ANSWERS JIGGA'S "BABY MONEY" LINE

2011-08-24T17:04:00.001-07:00

Finally Weezy has grown some balls and came back at Jigga Man for his line about Baby. For what it is worth I don't think it is any argument about who is the better rapper. But Weezy is reckless and Jay is a married man over 40 and more inclined to lay back so you never know what is going to happen. Usually in these circumstances Jay does not respond to dis tracks but this time he probably most certainly will. Wayne basically calls Beyonce a bitch and threatens to kidnap her in his lyrics. I don't know how real the beef is - Wayne's album is coming out at the end of the month .

I Can't Fight This Anymore... I Like DRAKE

2011-08-24T10:13:00.000-07:00

I know he is from Toronto, a former child actor, part Jewish. I know all these things but at the end of the day I have to admit that he is making good music and the throne is his for the taking. Deal With it. I have.

New Lesson: You Can Get Away With Rape If You Are Rich, Powerful And French...

2011-08-24T09:25:00.000-07:00

You know what's so funny about rape charges against Dominique Strauss Kahn DSK being dropped? I didn't hear from New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg. I didn't see any grandstanding from His Highness about someone being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Where was Mike B. when it came time to make his presence felt? Where was the guy that cared so much about the safety of the people? So much about correcting lawlessness? Oh I know where he was; nowhere to be fucking found. Since the victim was an illegal immigrant African maid and the alleged accuser was a rich, powerful French banker that has money and is married into an even more powerful, rich, French and Jewish family Mike B. could give a fuck less. Which was not the case in the victimless crime with Plaxico Burress. Remember that? When he held a press conference and said that basically Plax should go to jail and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Where was that Mayor? Where was that mayor that didn't care about fairness and the letter of the law? Cyrus Vance is a coward and so are the rest of the New York Elite that ran the other way when this woman, Ms. Diallo - yet another Diallo fucked over by New York law enforcement - needed a friend, a champion a guardian. Listening to her attorney, Kenneth Thompson speak on her behalf on NY1 I had a new found understanding of the case. His moves and motives. According to Thompson the writing was on the wall. The powers that be - read Vance, Bloomberg and the rest of the mostly 2520 prosecutors in Manhattan - were more than ready to dismiss this case from the start. Thankfully, the civil suit is being filed in The Bronx. If Ms. Diallo lied about being raped then let a jury of her peers to decide not The New York Post, Benjamin Brafman (Plax's attorney) or any other coward that claims to represent "the people".

Really Rush - What are you trying to say? Obama's a fag?

2011-08-17T15:41:00.000-07:00

Rush Limbaugh is like most 2520s of the world. Jealous and envious of any person of color that can do something better than them. Now, Rush Limbaugh is questioning Barack Obama's romantic history. Where are all his girlfriends? he is asking. But that's not what he's really trying to say. He's trying to say that Barack Obama, The President Of The United States is really a closeted Gay Man. Which is really interesting since most liberals and gossip politicos have been whispering the same about The Man With The Golden Microphone for years. Rush is the one that has been married multiple times and has no kids to show for all these unions. Let us not forget the fact that he had Elton John sing at his wedding. I know men are normally not in charge of such things as wedding planning and booking the guests but most men I know would have put their foot down at the mere mention of The Rocketman being the featured guest at their wedding. Listen to this fat "ex" drug addict insinuate that President Obama is on the DL.

What is your plan already?

2011-08-17T06:13:00.000-07:00

Obama aides say that President Obama will be releasing a jobs plan this September. Really? At this point I don't think that he really wants to win a second term. This shit is too much for him or any one man.

Really America? Thanks Texas!

2011-08-17T06:03:00.000-07:00

Nigga Please!

2011-08-15T17:35:00.000-07:00

So Steve Harvey (pictured above, covered in Tang) thinks Tavis Smiley and Cornel West are "Uncle Toms":

Steve... Whether or not you agree with their motives, Cornel and Tavis make very valid points. Although ONLY IN PART, President Obama's toothless threats and unfulfilled promises are to blame for the current state of the poor and less privileged in this country (particularly the Black and Hispanic community). We all know he's cleaning up the mess Bush left behind (tax cuts for the rich/wealthy/global corporations/banks, bankrupting Social Security and borrowing from potential enemies to pay for stupid ass wars, relaxing restrictions on Wall Street that ultimately led to the financial meltdown... you get the picture here people.), but still- he's kinda lost sight of the ball.

Steve Harvey is not wrong for voicing his opinion either. BUT he IS wrong for calling those two respectable men "Uncle Toms". That's kinda like Soulja Boy telling Jay Electronica he needs to step up his bars. Oh REALLY Soulja Boy?! (See that? That's me looking at Soulja Boy over the top of my glasses.)

Another thing that fuckin' bothers me is Black folks who believe our President is exempt from criticism, especially constructive, well-intended criticism. I, as much as any other sane Black person, am grateful for what our President has done for the collective Black American psyche. But i do think he's simply not being tough enough. But shit, you try fighting dozens of 2520's (congress, senate) everyday at your job and see how far YOU get. Imagine dozens of that one 2520 bitch who, in your head, is trying to sabotage your career.

Anyway, fuck you Steve Harvey... and your pimp suits. Stick to mentoring young boys and soft-shoeing for bucks. Insulting the Black Intelligentsia in such a way only makes YOU look like the Uncle Tom in the end. Let those men provide a voice for the voiceless while you vacation in Ibiza. And never do a photoshoot with your shirt off again. Ever.

Peace

Respect!

OH REALLY Congressman Doug Lamborn???.... REALLY?

2011-08-03T19:02:00.000-07:00

I can't say that I'm surprised by this:

Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) has come under fire lately for his remarks that attempting to find common ground with President Obama on the budget was “like touching a tar baby.”

“Even if some people say, ‘Well, the Republicans should have done this or should have done that,’ they will hold the president responsible,” said Lamborn. “Now, I don’t even want to be associated with him. It's like touching a, a tar baby and you get it . . . you know you’re stuck, and you’re part of the problem now, and you can’t get away.”

There are SO many things I could say about this bullshit... But I'll just let Chris Rock say it all:

Yelling Girl Speaks...

2011-08-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

Here we go again! When the media decide that they want to shove a white bitch down your throat, you are gonna have that woman for dinner, lunch and dessert..

Here is my gripe…WHITE BITCHES AINT THE ONLY BITCHES TO GET KILLED OR KIDNAPPED…every year minority women go missing…not only do you not hear about them - you’ll be lucky if you even get a blurb about it in the community paper (Oh, that’s right, nigga’s don’t have community papers)!

I’ve personally been searching for white bitches since 1997 and I’m tired, it should be a mandatory law that all white chicks have a chaperone everytime they leave the house. Actually, scratch that because if white women ain’t getting killed in the Bahamas their husbands take a few unpaid sick days and decide to kill them when their direct desposit comes in and they realize they don’t have enough money for Glad Bags and a wife. Here is where the resentment comes in, no person (race or creed) is more important than another but time and time again we see that nothing has changed. Trust me everytime we’ve ever gone to war in this country it has been to protect the interest of white women and children!

Seriously, I’m not well versed with the Casey Anthony case because every week a white women is killing her kid and blaming it on 18 different niggas that were at the Wal-Mart the time of the disappearance. I was, however shocked at how many people thought this woman was guilty, and she still got off Scott Free. Now, I have never been a fan of O.J. I think he is the biggest Uncle Tom since Uncle Ben, however when he “got off” with murder we had to go on suicide watch for at least 76 white kids at my school because their lives would never be the same. However, this innocent young girl is killed by someone (either the mother or someone she knows) and Casey is able to walk free? I don’t get it?! Where is the outrage?! Where is the civil trial?! And Gloria Alred and her dyke - friendly suit?!

Pippa…they are turing this bitch into the Jennifer Aniston of the ‘10’s! Who in the hell gives two rats ass about this girl?! Who? Not Prince William or he would have married this bitch instead of the other! Why is there all this damn hoopla about this girl?! “Who is that girl in the white dress?” … “She is so amazing” … “She is so stylish”…”She is the new it , girl” … Add an “SH” to that! The bitch ain’t shit to me! I mean that straight up and down! I think she is as plain as a vanilla ice cream on a regular cone. Stand that bitch next to Beyonce and see how dim that candle gets! Better yet, stand her next to the baddest white bitch out there (which according to niggas is CoCo) and see what she looks like! I’m so sick of this girl, I want TLC and the rest of the media to stop shoving her down my throat! I’d rather watch 56 hours of Tampax commercials back to back with a few yeast infection creams Ads sprinkled in than watch another second of this twat!

Let me say this in closing, yes, I have a bunch of white girlfriends! We’ll talk about that in another installment of my rants…but like the rest of the world I’m tried of reading about them. I lived through Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston, Miley Cyrus and the rest of these skippty bippites being shoved down my throat…I can’t take another! No more!!!!

HipHop On TV This Week

2011-08-01T23:18:00.000-07:00

Paid In Full - 2002
Aired on BET at 9 PM Monday.

I honestly don't remember if I saw Paid In Full in the movie theater or what, but either way, in 2011 on cable, it is still one of THE best hood movies.

Paid In Full is based on a true story about the rise and fall of 3 young great minds, Ace, Mich and Rico who controlled much of the drug trade in Harlem in the 80's. Greed, loyalty, family and betrayal are all covered in this classic.

It epitomizes my era of hiphop. The first generation of hiphop if you will. The generation that witnessed the 80's in a much different way than what was popular on television at the time...MTV, pop music, big padded shoulders, Reaganomics and more. Paid In Full showed the essence of Harlem in the 80's which became ravaged by crack cocaine.

The real Ace wasn't completely happy with the finished product because he wanted it to be more of a cautionary anti-drug tale with more of a message, and some of the facts were changed. But all in all I feel that Damon Dash and the other producers of this film got it right in so many ways. From filming it on Harlem Streets, to the projects they lived in , the cars, the clothes, all the way down to Dougie Fresh performing at what looked like my old spot in Harlem, The Rooftop.

Superb acting on all fronts. I was even shocked at how well Camron acted in the movie also. To this day I still see him as Rico.

So if you haven't seen Paid In Full, you're hood membership should be revoked. And if you have seen it, I think you'll agree that it's a hiphop classic.

Amy Winehouse - He Can Only Hold Her - Doo Wop (That Thing) - Live HD

2011-07-29T08:07:00.000-07:00

The Week With Candy!

2011-07-29T07:50:00.000-07:00

The heat-wave has finally broken!

- Levi Aron, little Lieby’s murderer, has learned that his attorney has dropped his case

- Lauryn Hill gave birth to her sixth child (more on that later)

- My 13 year-old car was stolen.

- Amy Winehouse is dead.

Poor little (5’ 3”) Amy is dead and buried. Let the” Elvis-isation” begin. By now we all now she is a member of the infamous “Forever 27” club – celebrities that died tragically at age 27 just when they had “so much more ahead” of them musically, personally, etc. (see, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin), and that her father was a cab driver turned jazz musician who had a gig scheduled in NYC Saturday July 23 the day that she died, and that her mother was a pharmacist. [Needle scratching on record] Wait one – what? A pharmacist?! I’m not going to touch that. #judgenot#

Why are we as a society (me included) so obsessed with celebrity death? Is it that we would like to have something- anything in common with so-called “stars”? That we fell we must hold on to the memories that their music stirs in us? Or is it that we get a thrill out of crowing “I remember when I went to see/hear [insert celebrity name here] at the [insert venue name here] before (aforementioned) celebrity blew up.”

Speaking of which, Lauryn Hill gave birth to a son on Saturday July 23. Oh yeah, Rohan Marley, her five other babies daddy is not the daddy of this baby. So says Lauryn, so says Rohan. Mmmmm okaaaayyy. I’ll just say to Lauryn – 1. Congratulations (children are a blessing) 2. You knew what you were signing up for when you bought the beeswax for him and starting locking Rohan’s dreads. Their “relationshit”, I mean “shituation”, oh fuck it – whatever the fuck it is they had/have together is too much for me to try to analyze right now. #judgenot#

I used to play the hell out of my “Miseducation” CD. What memories that entire CD brings back for me. *sniffle sniffle* getting a little wistful here. I remember when I went to see Lauryn Hill at Constitution Hall in 1998 before she blew up. {See what I mean}

None of us knows what occurs on the “other side” or if there even is one. But, for me for right now I like to think that Amy is soberly driving Lieby to day camp in my green 1998 Dodge Neon while blasting track #5 from Lauryn’s opus “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”

R.I.P:
AMY – 27
HOMER – 13
LIEBY - 8

You Raised 23 Children? Really?

2011-07-27T18:59:00.000-07:00

Michelle Bachmann stated in addition to the 5 children she raised, that she also fostered 23 teenage girls over a number of years. Originally the motivation for this was that she wanted to help unwed teenage mothers, but as it turned out she ended up focusing on young teenage girls in general. Lovely story. Big heart. Etc.

But in this day and age, I have to wonder; why don't we know anything about any of these girls? We live in a gossiped obsessed world, where we know if our commander in chief wears boxers or briefs, or the manscaping habits of Congressmen (I'm looking at you Weiner and Wu), and yet, we know nothing about these 23 girls? Conveniently, since this fostering happened several years ago, Minnesota's child welfare services has shredded all evidence. So really, Bachmann can't prove her story.

That isn't even where I am going with this.

My point is that among siblings, there is always one black sheep. One sister or brother who had issues with the law, money, or addiction. One who decided to live outside of societal norms. One, who is the subject of most of the family gossip. One, whose siblings whisper about past misdeeds. So I look at these 23 young teenage girls - girls who have probably spent most of their lives in the foster care system before they are brought into a Christian Evangelical home. A home in which the parents' faith causes them to attempt and try to pray away the gay and home - school their kids - and none come forward with a story? No one has found one of these women with some tawdry story about their current lives? Really? And to go further - really all 5 biological children are saints? At least with the Bush twins, we knew which one was the drinker.

Something seems off. And it ain't Bachmann's eye contact.

Grant Hill Wins Again!

2011-07-27T13:16:00.000-07:00

Somewhere Uncle Tom Grant Hill is laughing. Jalen Rose, after pleading guilty to a drunk driving charge that occurred in March of this year, was sentenced to 20 days in jail.

His lawyer, Keith Davidson did not like the sentence given to his client. He believes that the Judge in the case was grandstanding.

One of his attorneys, Keith Davidson, wasn't so contrite, railing against the sentence handed down by 48th District Court Judge Kimberly Small.
"This was nothing less than an elected judge legislating from the bench," said Keith Davidson. "This is a man who has given millions of dollars to charity, started schools around the world and worked endlessly for the community, yet her average sentence is 17 days, and she sentenced Mr. Rose to 20 days.

I Can't Hate On This Anymore

2011-07-26T19:56:00.000-07:00

I usually have a problem with 25/20's rapping. I always wonder if they are making fun of the genre. But this chick, Kreayshawn is killing it. Word is that she has a seven - figure deal. King Russell says he doubts it but the fact that someone even repeated it speaks to how crazy the rap industry is. With that being said though, this song kicks! And I have to admit ( Sorry Black Girls ) I do find her attractive in a sort of "I ran away from home, am addicted to pills and will do anything to score" kind of way. Let me know what you think. What do you think, is Kreayshawn here to stay or is she on a one way ticket to obscurity or even worse, the "27" club?

Enjoy!

Google+ : GREAT... Another Social Networking Site...

2011-07-25T15:53:00.000-07:00

So Facebook wasn't enough, huh America? FourSquare wasn't wasting enough of your time? Had to find a place to make those last 8 hours of your day disappear, didn't you?

While the rest of the world was mourning the deaths of crack head, blue-eyed soul singers and abhorring the vile acts of Norwegian terrorists, my inbox was being cluttered (#NoSolar) with random invites to join Google+ : the new do-it-all social circle, big-brother, stalker's paradise recently released to the masses by The Google World Order.

Apparently, folks are signing up by the millions to copy and paste the same exact shit they have on their Facebook pages, on to their Google+ profiles. Stupid Americans. Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know I'm a social media curmudgeon- I gladly own that title. I have a Facebook page, but i don't use it and I ONLY USE TWITTER FOR WORK (so all you porn star chicks, STOP STALKING ME...)! But, my utter disdain for the fuckery that is Facebook has nothing to do with my further abhorrence of this Google+ thingamajig. Simply put, in my humble opinion, the people inviting me to Google+ are the same people who tried SO hard to get me interested in SecondLife- that bullshit site where a "virtual" you existed in this "virtual second life". Some of these people were my friends, I'll admit. But their collective urge to be known as early adopters made me second-guess their places in my life.

Needless to say, it was virtually annoying to log on to this site, buy "virtually" expensive things, meet important "virtual" others, and live in a "virtually" perfect castle of a home; only to log off and re-assume one's own less-than-perfect real-life. SecondLife did one thing for most- it put a magnifying glass on the shit-hole that was your true existence. "I need to run to the store... no worries I'll just take my SecondLife ferrar... oh wait... i logged off already. Toyota Tercel it is."

Anyone that would try to get me to join THAT waste of life span doesn't deserve an "invite accepted" notice from my outbox (#noeddielong). I'm happy with my texting, cell calling, emailing, tweeting self and I simply don't have time to not do anything with yet another social networking profile. No pictures, no wall updates, no birthday wishes, no liking/un-liking and for damn sure no "friending".

You wanna get in touch with me? See above for the FOUR- COUNT 'EM FOUR- different ways I just listed wherein I can be contacted or socialized with. And here's a news flash- if you can't contact me in any of those 4 ways by now... we probably aren't "friends" anyway. You wanna friend me? Meet me in this real world, randomly or scheduled...ly (?). Let's share an experience that stokes intelligent (or unintelligent) discourse. Shit, call my number by mistake and spark up a great conversation about how much the film 'Life' was a complete rip off of 'Stir Crazy' (you wrong for that Eddie).

Let's just stay HUMAN thru all of this pseudo-socializing- that's all I'm asking. Instead of inviting me to share stupid pictures of me doing the Kid-N-Play at my dad's 60th birthday party (which WAS AWESOME- but still), invite me to a house party or a Tribe concert. Just stop it with the fake socializing... we have enough fake in this world already. Unless SecondLife is your world- in which case I probably wouldn't wanna socialize with you anyway. Invite denied.

Peace

I need a Tiger Wife!

2011-07-22T05:01:00.000-07:00

L.L. Cool J needed an Around The Way Girl, Apache needed a Gangsta Bitch but I realize what I want: A Tiger Wife. I think I want Wendi Murdoch to be my second wife. That is, of course, if my first marriage doesn't work out. Why wouldn't I? She's smart, rich, Asian (so that means she has to cater to me right?) and if I get into any trouble with some haters I know she has my back.

I dislike both - what do i do?

2011-07-21T15:55:00.000-07:00

With the recent fighting between Representatives Allen West and Debbie Wasserman Schultz both from Florida puts me in a conundrum. My Nation Of Islam training tells me to hate 25/20's and Jews but to equally hate sellout monkey Black Uncle Toms as well. I don't know who to root for in this fight. To be fair when Schultz made her crack about West ignoring the needs of his constituency it seemde like an innocuous enough comment. But West went hard body at old girl and hurt the yenta's feelings. He basically bought an Uzi to a knife fight. I was all set to say to take his side based on his color alone ( I admit it ) until he went on racist bomb thrower Mark Levin's radio show and had this to say:

The thing that really most aggravates me is that there is this double standard and that the people on the hard left can continue to attack conservatives and especially minority conservatives and female conservatives. But yet when you stand up and say you will not tolerate this anymore then they claim to be a victim which I find absolutely laughable.

People who are black conservatives – I grew up in the inner city, strong values, came from a strong military family and background – what we do is we totally invalidate the liberal social welfare policies and programs. I’m a threat because I’m the guy who got off of their 21st century plantation and they cannot afford to have such a strong voice as mine out there reverberating and resonating across this country.The thing that really most aggravates me is that there is this double standard and that the people on the hard left can continue to attack conservatives and especially minority conservatives and female conservatives. But yet when you stand up and say you will not tolerate this anymore then they claim to be a victim which I find absolutely laughable.

I can't deal with this dude. He is the living dream for the conservative right. A well-spoken successful Black man that wants to act like racism doesn't exist. I hate those types WAY more than I hate Yentas. I'm with Schultz on this one. As long as she stays quiet.

Watch The Throne - New Single OTIS

2011-07-21T14:32:00.000-07:00

At first one might think that OTIS, the name of the first single ( let's not count H.A.M shall we) from Kanye West (Ye) and Jay - Z's (J) vanity project, Watch The Throne is a horrible name. Why name it that? But after listening to the track you realize that the title comes from the fact that the production is HEAVILY jacked from the song "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding (RIP). Already Ye and J with a name title succeed in making their audience feel stupid and beneath them. Not a good way to start a relationship fellas. In reality, unless this album sounds like a combination of the best of College Dropout, The Blueprint, The Black Album and Graduation while taking the risks of 808's and Heartbreaks, Kingdom Come with the polish of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the soul of The American Gangster album all while selling a gazillion albums it won't be successful. This by all measures is a Super Album. Two of the biggest stars in the game, not just today but of all - time are collaborating. Not just on a couple of songs but a full length album. There is no way that there won't be a letdown. This isn't just a record by Rick Ross, Drake and Lil Wayne on some Lex Luger throway beat for a random mixtape but a conscious effort at pushing the boundaries of the pop and hip hop. Even their shoulders are not that wide to carry all that weight. Give Ye and J credit for trying, but I can't see where they either can begin to match or reach the expectations they set for their project. As a Stan fan I hope I am wrong but I have a feeling that through no fault of their own this project was doomed from the beginning.

Here is a link to the track and the track listing of the album.

Levi is going to be raped - repeatedly!

2011-07-20T15:07:00.000-07:00

Well, well, well. What do we have here? A child murderer on his way to jail. Forever. Even though I have never been to jail I know one thing about jail mentality; Child molesters and predators are like food to the other inmates. There is nothing lower you can be. With news of Levi Aron's indictment I have been thinking about what will and should be done to him in jail. I personally vote for constant uninterrupted raping. For Levi's sake New York should re - institute the death penalty. Because there are some things worse than death. Chief among them; being gang - raped by a bunch of muscle bound Bloods with penises bigger than baseball bats. #No Morehouse! I don't know what kind of protective custody they have in jail but trust and believe - Levi will SURELY need it.

Killa Cam - One of the best ever?

2011-07-20T13:28:00.000-07:00

Saw this on Bill Simmons' vanity website Grantland.com. One of their posters had entered this youtube video in a segment they call The Youtube Hall of Fame. After watching it I was elated to finally have some proof in my long running argument that Cam is pretty nice; Cam'ron is/has been doing his thing for a long time and it's time he gets his long deserved props.

Think about it:

- he has been around almost as long as Jay

- longer than Em

- while he has not made as much money or sold as many albums as either of them by a long shot he is still relevant in 2011 as his current album with Vado, Guns and Butter and their accompanying singles will attest.

- he and his Dipset movement continue to have a loyal fan base and continue to maintain a well - respected mainstream/underground movement repping Harlem (My Hood).

For those of you doubting my Stan when it comes to Cam check this video out from Rap City when he basically culled together a whole bunch of hooks into one cohesive freestyle.

Enjoy!

They're No Huxtables...

2010-08-20T21:11:00.000-07:00

Every year childless couples spend millions of dollars to have children. They take fertility shots, endure IVF, artificial insemination, surrogacy, egg donations, adoption, scoop up fetuses from the bottom of abortion clinic floors- anything to have a child. Good people. Hard working people. People who don't beat their spouses people. People who need people, people. Who just want to have a baby, people. Then there are some people who after a few shots of Jagermeister, a 12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a couple hits of meth and a Faith Hill song are doing their part to ensure trailer parks are never empty.

Where is the justice you ask? There is none. Sorry. Sometimes people are products of people who are too closely related and shit like this happens.

Yo. Isn't Karma a bitch? Now that Rudy Guiliani's daughter has been busted for shoplifting I wonder what kind of treatment she is going to get? In Rudy's world a shoplifter was part of the big problem of crime. You remember the broken window theory? That bullshit about not ignoring the petty crimes because if you did you would really be encouraging more violent crimes. They were what made the city bad. They were the small pebble that rolled into a big boulder. Blah Blah Blah. If her name was Juanesha or Aquanetta best believe she would prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Sellout Monkeys On Deck!

2010-08-05T19:35:00.000-07:00

My Man The Mighty O hipped me to what was going on with some conservative sellout monkeys and you know what; it's damn shame that these men and women even exist. But the phenomenon does confirm to me something that I have been telling people as long as I have been blogging: Black people will get further in the political arena if they shroud themselves in conservatism. I call it, "The Other Powell Doctrine." Once a Black person shrouds themselves in conservatism two things happen. The first, unfortunately is that they will be branded a sellout. That is going to happen. It's unavoidable and inevitable. Rightly or wrongly. Secondly, racist, patronizing conservative whites will bend over backwards to show that they and their movement are not racist by fast tracking those Black conservatives up the ladder. So for every qualified Colin Powell you have ten unqualified tokens like Condi Rice, Michael Steele, etc.

So this current crop of sellout monkeys met at The National Press Club and continued to tell the world why they and not the 96% of the other Blacks are the smartest in the world. In reality, Zo Rachel, Niger (he really needs an extra g in his first name) Innis and all the others make valid points about being open - minded, embracing a conservative value system and the effects of staying dangerously loyal to one political party. But the end result remains: They are just being used. Instead of starting their own party they continue to align themselves with a movement that openly embraces racists and hate mongers. I used to ask myself, "why?". Why would these men want to be aligned with the worst white people? Are they trying to keep their enemies closer? Are they so naive as to think that they will be major players in a movement that has used race to scare people to vote Republican for the last 40 years? Because that's what Sellout Monkeys Do.

MEMO: FOX NEWS SUCKS

2010-08-01T06:56:00.000-07:00

I don't know why (I really do though) Fox News hates on President Obama more than Farrakhan hates on white people. It doesn't matter what he does they are going to be overly critical. It's like they are his mother. First off, the staff on Fox News almost never refers to him as "The President". They say, "Obama" or "Barack Obama" or sometimes they "mistakenly" refer to him as "Osama". Second of all they never give him credit when credit is due. If he saves jobs the reporters can't say that he did something good, they'll say that he created those jobs just so that he can take their tax money. Thirdly, Fox News will with the help of their talking head commentators will thrown out crazy accusations just to smear him, things like him being a communist. After he bailed out the banks? How can you be a communist after you bailed out the banks? Does that even make sense? No, but if you are a hick or a racist or a functional idiot that has no knowledge of anything then you will believe that shit. You think the big heads at Fox News don't know their demographic? This is not just a string of coincidences. You don't think that Fox News doesn't know that the Tea Party and it's members are susceptible to race - baiting? This is an old strategy that the powerful have been using in America for years; try and convince the poor and middle class white people that their misery and bad lot in life is because the "dark people" are taking their jobs, their money and their women. Not the rich white men that are actually doing it. Maybe I would believe that too if I were deaf, dumb and blind.

Now Brietbart wants to talk...the time for talk is over PUSSY!

2010-07-31T10:15:00.000-07:00

Andrew Breitbart has said that he would like to speak to Shirley Sherrod "in private." Why now? Oh yeah I think I know why, because he is about to get sued and lose everything. And I don't care what anyone says, she would win a case against Breitbart - easily. This pussy intentionally tried to defame and degrade her while knowingly misrepresenting her words. For weeks in the media he has been defiant, swearing that he wasn't trying to say that she was a racist but that the audience listening to her speech was. YEAH RIGHT. The only people that believe that are the people that go to his website. But you know what, I have a great idea: If Breitbart wants to get out of this potential lawsuit not only should he apologize and grovel before Shirley Sherrod but he should also eat her pussy. Yeah I wrote it. And it should be on videotape. Why not? What other way could he really show that he is sorry than by licking the box of the woman that he slandered? That's what I say. An apology isn't nearly good enough. Nothing short of him having to walk around with the love stink of Shirley Sherrod on his face while he goes on Fox News' Hannity Show will do for me. But then again I am not Sherrod. But if I were her advisor that would be my advice to her. What do you think?

Well Laurence it could be worse...

2010-07-31T09:13:00.000-07:00

Now that the news of Laurence Fushburne's daughter making a porn DVD has broken, I tried to think of some things that could be worse than your own daughter fucking for the world to see. It's hard but I thought of one: She could be Osama's bottom bitch. That would be worse than having your daughter screwing in a porn DVD. When it comes down to it, Brian Pumper is an American and not a terrorist that bankrolled a sneak attack on the United States.

Essence hired a white fashion editor - I always knew they wanted to look like white women - now there's proof!

2010-07-31T09:08:00.000-07:00

It's a travesty. Essence Magazine having a white fashion editor is like The Klan having a Black spokesman. Maybe this woman can and will do an excellent job at telling Black women what fashions are hot in the street - but so what? Get the second or third best person who is Black. Angela Bert - Murray the Editor of Essence has made a huge mistake and she should be ashamed of herself. But every since Essence was bought out they have lost whatever soul they had. They have lost whatever authority they had. What's next? White columnists? It's not like Essence is a mainstream magazine, it is a Black magazine and the fact that there is a White Woman setting beauty standards for African American women is confusing. Fuck Essence until they make a change.

Brian Pumper? Come on, son have some respect!

2010-07-31T08:15:00.000-07:00

In this video clip, male porn star Brian Pumper (great porn name) is seen discussing his technique in breaking new "artists" into the porn industry. Sitting with him is Chip - D (for some reason pronounced Chippy D) AKA Laurence Fishburne's daughter and her boyfriend who also wants to break into the industry. I think that Fishburne could really use his pull in the industry to hurt Pumper. God only knows what this girl was thinking when she decided to fuck on tape and market it. Thanks Kim Kardashian. I hope this gets resolved quickly and for goodness sakes please no one give this woman anymore exposure than this youtube clip. And btw if this guy is so paid and successful - look at all his chains and bracelets - WHY IN THE FUCK IS HE TAKING HIS CREW TO SUBWAY?! I know in the porn industry you have to eat fresh but this is ridiculous. I run a blog that makes no money and I can do better than that. I don't know who CartlonJordan.com is but he deserves 100% credit for getting this exclusive. Not TMZ, MTO but Carlton Jordan.

T.O. and Chad Ochocinco - A new recruiting tool for Al Cracker?

2010-07-31T08:14:00.000-07:00

I can't think of anything that will get The Klan more new card carrying members than watching these two chocolate boobs. Especially after watching their VH1 shows where they chase after fame, attention and white women. Not in that order of course. Here is where I have to defend the white man. I know crazy coming from me, right? They don't understand what Black people mean when they say there is still racism in America when they watch these two Black men talk shit and screw their women on reality shows. They think that racism is still of the old -school garden variety; no interracial dating, separate water fountains or not being able to vote. So when they turn on the television and see one guy screaming racism on one channel (Jesse Jackson) and then turn on the other channel and they see two football players on a reality show holding hands and frolicking in swimming pools with white women they get confused. That is why these two guys are a great recruiting tool for the KKK. If you want to figure out a way swell the ranks of men raising their hand in the air screaming "white power" then you should just show these two together, pop in a DVD of either one of their reality shows or just listen to them talk. What's even crazier is that the team they are on is practicing in Kentucky. Are they trying to start an all - out race war?

The Persecution of Charles Rangel continues - What did he do again?

2010-07-31T08:13:00.001-07:00

I read what the ethics violations were on Charles Rangel. One of them was bringing disrespect to The House Of Representatives. Are they serious? Can anyone see the railroad? I was never a big fan of the dude but I can see a conspiracy when there is one. And here is one. A BIG ONE! In your face. They are mad at him for having four apartments in Lenox Terrace? It's not the fucking Taj Mahal. It's Lenox Terrace. It's funny that before gentrification no one cared how many apartments he had. Then they said that he didn't pay his taxes. Then you look at the money he owes and it's 15k. After 40 years all this guy stole was 15k? He wasn't really trying then. And for the Democrats that are distancing themselves from Rangel we are watching you and you will be exposed. (I'm looking at you Barry.) I can't believe that the press is piling on him even though he didn't lie us into war or falsify intelligence. I have said it before and I will say this again this shit didn't start until he became the Chairman of The Ways and Means Committee and he kicked Vice President Dick Cheney out of his office. And you know who is behind this: The Pussies at The New York Post. If I were Rangel I would stand pat and tell anyone that had a problem with it to eat a bag of Harlem Apartment Dicks (whatever those are). Harlem Stand up. First it's him then it's your land. This is just the start. Don't let this happen.

This is funny!

2010-07-29T13:37:00.001-07:00

I saw this on Gawker and it's so funny that I won't even get into how it is making Black people look bad. It's definitely classic man on the street reporting. All I have to say is that this guy in the video will be on Josh 2.0 very shortly.

The Albany Movement: Two sides of the same coin

2010-07-25T10:49:00.001-07:00

Who here remembers the Albany Movement? Anyone? Perhaps you have heard of Montgomery? Rosa Parks, check. Selma? Voting Rights Act, check. Mississippi (Goddamn!)? The Philadelphia murders, check. But not Albany?

A lot of SNCC volunteers went to Albany in the early 1960s after other successful campaigns in Rock Hill (Jail, No Bail) and other southern towns. At first, SNCC and other protesters made some headway in challenging the entrenched segregation of the town. So much so that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King brought his SCLC entourage to town, and thereby the media. Unfortunately by then the local Police Chief, Laurie Pritchard, had figured out that if the media didn't cover a protest, it didn't exist. So Pritchard told his officers to not make arrests, challenge the protesters, etc., while Dr. King was in town. Once the media got bored and left, so did Dr. King. Albany was on its own.

But SNCC stayed to organize the community to demand their civil rights. One organizer, Charles Sherrod, continued his work in Albany and later married a young woman by the name of Shirley.

Now close to fifty years later, we have another influential leader, President Obama, who unlike Dr. King, does not want the spotlight on race, and has therefore turned away the media. Will we ever get the Albany movement right? Will we ever get to the mountaintop?

Nas talks about Kelis

2010-07-25T06:09:00.000-07:00

In this clip that I first saw on my favorite Asian's Hip Hop site Missinfo.com Nas speaks to British DJ Tim Westwood. He speaks as much as he can about his divorce with Kelis. He also casually mentions that he wants more children but that means he needs to make more money. I wonder why he said that? Looking at this clip makes me realize how much Nas has gone through since he's been in the game. Baby mommas, divorces, rap beefs, bad albums, looking high all the time, etc, etc,. You have to be built pretty tough to be in this media spotlight just for one minute. Nas has been in it for 20 years. (Damn). Peace to my brother Nas. I want him to make another classic album. In another clip Nas says that Kanye may help him on something. As long as it is not any of that soft shit then it's all good.

I think I found the biggest sellout in American History...

2010-07-25T05:32:00.000-07:00

Trolling through conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart's website I found the new - excuse my language non - Black friends- nigger that the conservative movement is rolling out. This guy named Alfonzo Rachel is a conservative blogger and he really takes selling out to a WHOLE new level. What caught my attention and presumably what got him on Breitbart's website was that in his video he still contends that Shirley Sherrod is a racist. He even insists on calling her Shirley "Charade". He's brilliant! (sarcasm) At one point will these Black men and women realize that the conservative right, the tea party and the whole right wing movement in general only uses them to refute other Black people. Think Michael Steele. If they really like this guy, if they really think that he is so smart then have him speak out on other issues other than race. Apparently he has also been on Red Eye which is Fox News' version of Klan meeting and a nightly talk show rolled into one. I wonder what he talked about? Race? You know what? I don't know if he is a sellout or not, you be the judge...

Where are the Black Panthers? Where are the Muslims in The Nation Of Islam? What the fuck happened to angry Black men? How are they allowing this women Shirley Sherrod to be defamed and the people that did it aren't even being protested against? Don't talk shit about Black Power when you sit back and let an older woman get harassed by Andrew Breitbart. This is why Farrakhan is necessary. This is why there needs to be men that don't listen to the mainstream and do their thing. That is why I miss Khalid Abdul Muhammad. He wouldn't have been fooled.

Queen Sherrod needs to be invited to the White House!

2010-07-22T15:21:00.000-07:00

If that pussy cop was able to get invited to The White House after beating on Skip Gates in his own house then Queen Sherrod should be able to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom and piss the sheets. According to White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs, President Obama has called to apologize to Sherrod for taking part in forcing her resignation due to Andrew Breitbart's hate campaign against her. All I'm saying is that if that cop can get a beer summit then Queen Sherrod should be in The Rose Garden with Champagne.

Really Mike?

2010-07-19T16:29:00.000-07:00

Is Wendy Wiliams really calling out Chad Ochocinco for liking white women?

2010-07-19T15:55:00.000-07:00

I saw the Chad Ochocinco abortion that is currently airing on VH1 and I can see why a Black woman can take some exception to the casting of his reality show. There are alooooooooot of white and Latino women on the show which does it make it appear as if he does not like Black women. But who is Wendy Williams to call him out on anything? This is a woman that wears weaves, has had plastic surgery and does her best to look like a white women. Is she serious? If I was Chad Ocho coono I would have told Wendy Williams to take off her wig, weave and fake everything else before she tried to call me out on anything about anything. But he is so lame he didn't even do that! That show is an abortion!

Rick Ross is cool but wait a minute...

2010-07-19T15:37:00.000-07:00

Wasup with the New York Dick riding that I'm seeing? I'm looking at this Rick Ross video and it is incredible that I see nothing but New York dudes co - signing! WTF? There was a time when Florida dudes couldn't come up here and shoot a video and get all the love. Damn. What's even crazier is that Styles P. is on the song and Jada Kiss is in the video riding in the Maybach with Rozay! I personally don't like this Dick riding! I don't mind artists supporting an artist but how come they don't do that for New York artists? This video is like a "Who's Who" of New York artists. Remember when The Lox left Diddy because they said he was trying to sell them out and that they weren't street enough? Well - look where they are now. Back with Diddy and selling out with an artist that isn't even in their camp. They could have stayed with Diddy kept their publishing and kept some change in their pocket if they were going to do this. I wonder if either of them thought of this while they were involved in this project!

R.I.P. George Steinbrenner but wait a minute....

2010-07-18T16:45:00.000-07:00

As much as I love The New York Yankees, I have to keep the death of George Steinbrenner in some sort of perspective: Even though I don't wish death on many people except those I find truly reprehensible (I'm looking at your grave Jesse Helms) the truth must be told about George Steinbrenner: He was a bit of a liar. A cheat. A jerk. Reading his biography written by Bill Madden, one has to scratch their head when people are forced to go through the predictable dick suck that happens when someone famous and powerful dies. But the collective George Steinbrenner dick suck was out of control. At one point I thought I was going to see reports that said that George Steinbrenner freed the slaves, invented fire and split the atom. When you really break down the Yankees success the truth is that they won when he was the least involved. The less he was involved the more success his team had. He was the check writer. The fact is, his reputation changed when he was no longer able to speak. He went from ogre to crazy curmudgeon overnight. I liked George Steinbrenner but i liked the man he was and not the man the media wanted him to be after his death.

Bron Bron is not a slave but only Jesse Jackson seems to know this....

2010-07-18T16:28:00.000-07:00

I am glad that someone said what I said but no one else heard. Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, in his statement on his team's website acted like he owned Lebron and like Lebron owed him something besides the seven years of play on the court and the hundreds of millions of dollars that Lebron already made for him. Fuck Dan Gilbert. Lebron wanted to leave. Get over it! Why is Jesse Jackson the only man that went on the record with the slave - master relationship that Dan Gilbert portrayed when he made his statement? Why is a man over 70 making this statement? Where is Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson? Why aren't they coming to Lebron James' defense in choosing where he wants to play? What kind of men are they? I thought Charles was outspoken? I thought he was the militant Black athlete that said what was ever on his mind. So why is it that the only statement he makes is a statement crtitcal of the chosen one? What part of the game is that, Chuck? Michael Jordan now an owner still pretends like he is a player looking for his next contract. Why isn't he saying anything to refute Gilbert's statements? And only something that is a shot at James. And Earvin? Where is he? Where is the guy that can stop the world with his smile? Quiet. And so it's left to Jesse Jackson, an old man in the game to come to the defense of a 25 year old multi - millionaire. This is why Black men can never work together because they rarely get each other's backs in moments like this. The old heads should be ashamed of their behavior. I am!

In a move that will do nothing to defy the myth that Jews have the media on lock, veteran news woman Helen Thomas resigned her post as columnist. After her comments about Jews that seemed to offend many people, Thomas quit. I feel bad for her because it seems that people have gotten sensitive to the concept of criticism of the chosen people. While her comments did seem harsh in tone it is something that alot of peope think.

Can someone please explain to me how this BP thing is Obama's fault?

2010-06-06T17:37:00.000-07:00

Listening to the news' talking heads the last two weeks and you would think that President Obama was on the oil rig that exploded and started polluting the Gulf. They seem to think that him lying to the people and emoting empathy will get rid of the oil spill. This is what happens when you follow 8 years of "feel your pain" politics with 8 years of "Stay the course" politics.

Rest In Peace Gary Coleman!

2010-06-06T16:50:00.000-07:00

I loved and will always love Gary Coleman. (No Solar).

He was the funniest, cutest kid and there was no way anyone could deny it. He had the timing, the acting chops and the ability to carry a network television show. In other hands Diff'rent Strokes would have been just a regular show and easily petered out after about two seasons. (Remember any episodes of Webster after year three? Didn't think so!). Don't get me wrong it wasn't like Coleman had nothing to work with - there were the writers, accomplished actors, Conrad Bain and Charlotte Rae and two capable kids working with him, Todd Bridges and Dana Plato - but not even all of their talents could have saved a show's premise that relied on suspension of disbelief and intelligence. Arnold and Willis didn't have any other Black relatives? No one else wanted them? Mr. Drummond was a tycoon whose heart was so pure that he was willing to take in his maid's kids while making his fortune in Real Estate? Shit, there was just him and Kimberly, did he really need a live in maid?
But Gary Coleman was the glue that held it altogether.

Not enough people give credit to the fact that Coleman was the biggest star at NBC. He carried the company. If it wasn't for him and his hit show, NBC would have had even less to brag about. He made the type of money that a star would make today - then (75,000) - and he earned it. His face was so fanmous that he was on lunch boxes, shirts and even had hi own cartoons where he voiced the character of an Angel. He couldn't be any bigger? Figuratively!

Rest In Peace Mr. Coleman you have earned it.

WHO'S IN THE BUILDING? ME THAT'S WHO!

2010-05-19T16:57:00.000-07:00

She may not have the best face of any video model today but seriously the ass makes you forget about her face. As a matter of fact with an ass like this I could care less that she even has a face. I just want to talk to her ass. Seriously. I want to have a conversation with her ass and take it to dinner. I want to know more about it. Anyway, she is supposed to be fucking Drake now so my dream of talking, whining and dining her ass is over. Apparently it would rather be with a Kanye-esque performer from Young Money than a broke blogger. DAMN!

How is the oil spill President Obama's fault exactly?

2010-05-19T16:46:00.000-07:00

I have been listening to the reaction by some on the right and some on the left when it comes to President Obama's reaction to BP's oil spill and I am shocked at some of the reaction critical of our President. What do they want him to do; Magically stop the oil leak with his brain? No matter what they think President Obama is still a man. He does not have superpowers. The blame lies solely on the greedy shoulders of the energy companies that secured policy that made regulation of their dirty industry almost null and void. BP (British Petroleum - didn't our country fight a war against The British? Why are they drilling off U.S. shores?) needs to clean this shit up no matter what the cost. Then they need to donate a portion (call it a tax if you want) of whatever profits they make to the people of Louisiana. Something they should have been doing anyway. This way the shores and the Gulf can be clean (or at least cleaner then it was before the oil spill) and the people of New Orleans can get the help they deserve that they still have not gotten. Peace!

Chinese killings are making me think strange thoughts...

2010-05-19T16:26:00.000-07:00

Has anyone been following the recent Chinese attacks lately? It is really weird! For some reason in the last two months, Chinese men have been stabbing and killing pre - schoolers and the administrators that run their schools. In articles and television news reports the speculation is that the attacks have been caused by the rapid change in lifestyle in China. Could be, but I think the reason behind these killings are alot simpler: Chinese people are still looking for the CHOSEN ONE. The one that knows Karate or something like that. In these rural towns Chinese people don't have X RAY machines, Karate tournaments or I.Q. tests. So instead of finding the one the civilized way, they feel they have to chase some poor 4 year old going to school to see if he's unbreakable. America has to really help these Chinese men and women out that live in the rural areas. They are behind in the times and still living in the stone age.

I can no longer defend this...

2010-05-18T15:11:00.000-07:00

I want to make some things very clear: I am not Bill Cosby, I am not anyone's mother, I am not the fashion police. I am not some boo - zhee African - American that suffers from self - hatred or some Uncle Ruckus - like secret desire to be white. I am just a dude with an opinion, a computer and some free time.

With that being said, I can no longer defend the saggy pants. NO WAY! I like my pants baggy too but this new shit is getting ridiculous. It's like for the past 6 months boys and some grown ass men have begun to drop their pants about six inches lower.

They look crazy. And what's worse is that the teenagers are being allowed to dress this way. Some of them are not even legal age. They have parental supervision. Men over 25 dressing like this is past insane. This trend begs the questions: Why are these boys so close to taking their pants off? Why are these boys literally and figuratively showing their ass? What is that about? Do they want to give it to someone? Are they on something completely different?

At first, when the pants were just baggy and sagging just a little, before the time when the upper class elite Blacks would vilify this trend, I thought, "It's just a trend, a style, let it got."
But now I can't even say that.

It's going down!

In about a month life for me will change forever. So before I turn into that dude let me post some last heat on Hubris! Stay tuned!

Let's get it going!

2010-05-14T18:03:00.000-07:00

Wasup dog? It is almost June. The time flies like a motherfucker. This month has been crazy: Betty White on SNL, L.T., an attempted Muslim car bomber and a real fucked up oil spill. It may be time for me to go to church AND IT IS ONLY THE MIDDLE OF MARCH. The world is coming to an end. It has to be. I just saw Jay Z and Beyonce at the Yankee game. Are you serious? At the freaking Yankee game? Hip Hop started in The Bronx and now it dies there. When Jay Z and Beyonce are part of the "crowd shot" shot list you know that times have changed. "Okay put me on Jay Z and Beyonce and cut back to the game. " Wow, Remember when it was not cool to rap? Now it gets you on television. God Bless progress?

I LOVE GURU AND GANG STARR (NO SOLAR)

Oh by the way the world is coming to an end....

2010-05-08T18:06:00.000-07:00

That oil spill is crazy. How the fuck aren't the bosses at BP in handcuffs? They lock people up for littering don't they? Those people are evil. Anyone not seeing the future of energy being the sun and the wind are assholes. Plain assholes. Buying oil makes our enemies richer and even more powerful. Plus it's just really fucking dirty. Any oil spill has catastrophe written all over it. I am sad that The Gulf of Mexico had a spill and that that spill will affect the lives of other people in that area but I am glad that this cluster fuck happened so that we as Americans can remember how dangerous this drilling shit is. Peace!

this is my ex - roomate

Announcement: At 1000 I quit

2010-05-08T17:37:00.000-07:00

Once I hit my 1,000 post on Hubris I am going to move on to other things: No worries you will know when I make that move. That will be all.

L.T.?

2010-05-06T15:30:00.000-07:00

What the fuck? For real? Why is this dude going through pimps to get some puss? Why doesn't he just go to a 35 and over club and say to a woman, "Hi, I am Lawrence Taylor and I would like to screw you tonight?" He would have made out better if he did that. What the fuck dude? You can no longer be defended by anyone? Even your lawyer has to be disgusted. I bet anyone that was friends with him in the past wishes he would have died of a drug overdose. I'm saying L.T. how high do you have to be fuck up your legacy and your freedom all in one night? Someone help that poor girl, please. She is living a horrible life and because of some horrible PIMP she is ruined forever. As a man about to have a daughter I can only hope that one day when my daughter turns to me I will be man enough to help her.

DISTURBING!

YOU CAN'T BE MORE OF A COON THAN THIS GUY

2010-04-24T19:38:00.000-07:00

Damn I am going to really miss this dude...(No Guru)

2010-04-24T18:54:00.000-07:00

Before this week if someone asked me who my favorite rapper was I would never have said, "GURU". Now if someone asked me to name one of my favorite groups, "Gang Starr" would definitely be name - checked. But for some reason when the news hit that Keith Elam, AKA Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal had died, I all of a sudden thought of him as one of my favorite MC's. And with further news coming that he was suspected to be in a love affair with another man I was really confused. I had to ask myself some questions:
Should I no longer like this guy because he may have been a homosexual?
Should his lyrics make me feel any different because he may have lived an "alternative lifestyle"? What would that say about me? As I came to grips with the reality of Guru's death and speculation concerning his personal life I pumped Gang Starr in my car and reminisced about the times when I first heard his lyrics.
The time when I had first heard Manifest on MTV Raps.
The time when my white friend, Jesse Sandler - who at the time was way more Hip Hop than I was - played "Soliloquy Of Chaos" for me on his Walkman (That's right I said Walkman).
The time when my college buddies, Leo Vasquez and Dus Brown broke down the intricacies of Preemos beats and Guru's lyrics. The time when I bought Moment of Truth and I was feenin' to hear Above The Clouds.
I say all that to say that his music was, is and will always be great. He was awesome and he will be missed. A little bit of Hip - Hop died on April 19th. Peace!

With all of this talk of gun rights and Obama is going to take your guns why are there no Black people at these rallies where Obama haters are? What happened to the militant men and women that had afros, black gloves and black top and bottoms? Where is The Nation Of Islam? Black America needs a Black militia. NOW!

Today is Hitler's birthday...

2010-04-20T18:25:00.001-07:00

Today is Hitler's Birthday. If there was ever an argument for abortion he is the one. More than almost anyone, Adolf Hitler has reshaped the world. If he had never lived I have a feeling the world would be a lot better today. Even an abortion doctor - killer would love to suck him out of his momma's womb with a vacuum cleaner. Rest In Hell Adolf!

YOU KNOW WHAT? I LIKE KESHA NOW...

2010-04-20T15:36:00.000-07:00

After watching Ke$ha perform on SNL i changed my opinion. I used to think she was a hack performer who stole her style from Fergie who stole her style from JJ FAD. But whatever she kind of DIDNT SUCK! I am interested in what she is doing way more than GAGA! Time will tell who wins that race.

This letter troubles me. Why is Guru so tied up with Solar? It's sad that Guru has left the physical world but what's worse is the fact that this letter stains the legacy he left. Damn.

DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD A VIDEO FOR THIS ONE:

KILLA!

2010-04-11T05:55:00.000-07:00

Say what you what about the high amount of websites but some do stand up. Gots to give a shout to the people that run hiphopbeef.com. They seem to have a lot of the exclusive shit. This clip is no exception. Here is a vid clip of Killa Cam rockin' it at the XXL Freshman Ten showcase. He was there to rep his act Vado but he still did some time. And I say this to a lot of people but they never agree with me; CAM has hits. He has a catalogue. He can perform about ten joints that the casual Hip Hop fan would know. Sometimes I have forgotten how long he has been around (almost 15 years). Check out this clip where Cam reps Harlem and Hip Hop.

Looks like Cam was right after all

2010-04-11T05:41:00.000-07:00

lloyd Banks's new single, "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" featuring Juelz Santana is definitely hot. But what I think is the bigger story is the fact that Lb, the "puchline King" is working his song independently. No major label pushing it all according to Banks who was on the the Ed Lover podcast. Lloyd Banks was saying that being independent is great for him. He was saying that independence has made his career more flexible. Remember when Cam and 50 had their beef? The whole thing started because 50 was talking shit about Koch (now EMI?) records and how their independent deal situation was like a "graveyard" for artists. 50 said that once you do things independently your career as an artist was dead. Isn't it funny how times have changed? Now that Banks is off Interscope and has been cut loose from Jimmy Iovine's money pipeline he is championing the virtues of independence. Now would 50 say his career is dead? What would that say about Fif's prospects? Looks like Cam was right after all.

Seriously Sarah Palin is dumb

2010-04-08T17:05:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Sarah Palin is still around. I can't believe that anyone that does not want to fuck her would listen to anything she says. Why would they listen to her about anything that doesn't revolve around failed campaigns, quitting your job half way through or poor family planning? Sean Hannity propping her up like she is alarming. She is a joke that hasn't been funny since Tina Fey.

I WOULD SO FUCK MARY JANE WATSON AND DARE PETER PARKER TO SAY SOMETHING...

2010-04-08T17:00:00.000-07:00

Saw this on a website called Indo and I like it. It is a picture of my favorite kind of white woman, curvy, big chested and redheaded. Way rarer than a blonde. It is a picture of Mary Jane Watson and who cares what else. If she was real my marriage would be in trouble...

I KNOW I'm late on this but I have NO problem with this...
