What in the hood sh*t?

So now, the climate in hip hop has resorted to tight jeans, the vocoder and 35 plus yr old rappers? Is that how shit goes down out here? I mean, Nelly has an album coming out tomorrow and I cant even name one single off that shit. Kanye West just put out the worst record this side of August.....and 50 still talking shit? I love the character that 50 plays...the ultimate villain. But I gotta admit, his beefing is getting tired. I think, if he goes back to the original formula of Dre beats and some collabos (See Eminem, Luda and Jadakiss), his next record could blow the doors off Curtis. But anyway, back to the matter at hand....

Why is it cool for dudes to walk around in the mall with girls jeans on? Matter of fact, why is it cool for Lil Wayne to rock whatever the fuck he was rockin on SNL? The Hip Hop community, black, white or whoever, really need to unify the voice and shout "STOP THIS FAGMAN SHIT". No disrespect to the queer community intended...but seriously. I think, we been given too many passes lately....

men kissing men does not equal hip hop.
men having songs that refer to licking lollipops does not equal hip hop.
men blatantly fabricating their past does not equal hip hop.
good artist getting shelved does not equal hip hop.

that's just a few.

In any event, prep yourselves for the upcoming debates and make an educated decision. Its either:
Democratic: Overrated Presidential Candidate with a resume that couldn't manage the food court at USC and old timer Biden whose a career bill passing pocket stuffer....

or

Republican: war hero turnt crypt keeper....who will be making executive decisions between selecting items off the early bird menu at Denny's and the Milf (potential VPilf) with teenage daughters that like to fuck and what I think would be a mean neck game.

This country, this music shit....on its way to hell in a hand basket....or, for the tight-jeaners...maybe a purse.

Fresh Line Up...Fresh Outfit...bout to have the cells on Smash

Seriously? A C.O.? Fuckouttahere Ricky.....
First, let me point out that I have never, nor will ever, purchase a Rick Ross Cd, Mixtape or fucking T-shirt. However, you might've caught me knockin some illegally downloaded shit in my whip from time to time (Everyday I'm Hustlin.....)

Here's the thing; I don't really care what Rick Ross was doing because I always knew he was not moving weight (his body excluded) and never meet Noreaga (Fat spanish dude from Queens excluded). The problem is, he made up some silly shit about being something he never was....
"Nigga; you ain't live it you witnessed it from your folks pad.....You scribbled in your notepad and created your life" (Jay-z) If you wouldn't accept your homey lying to you about some shit....why do we gotta accept it from entertainers? Why didn't Ricky try to stop this shit from the gate...on some Blow shit like "I used the C.O. status to make connects".....like how Johnny Depp learned about Yay in Prison? That shit woulda been smart....

Here's the thing, I think we can trace all this shit back to 50 cent. And by "all this shit" I mean the problems in hip-hop. Think about it, he made fans start caring about sales numbers, he made fans think about hood credibility, he made fans worry about the gangsta image rather then the music. Tupac went to a special school for arts....and nobody cared cause his music was what counted. Biggie never had to be anything but a fat black high school drop with a lazy eye....cause he killed that slow flow ("showed they toes, you know they got stepped on"). But ever since 50 survived some gun shots....everyone is a gun busser and moving keys......its fucking disgusting. And to make matters....50 had that credibility. Had....(still copped the g-unit...and it is 4/5)

Bottom line is, rappers need to be honest....actors get paid to act...not rappers.

FYI - hip hop aint dead....just the good rappers are.

what a waste

So, have you guys heard that LL Cool J "Five Boroughs are back" song yet? What an excellent concept....that materialized into pure dukey. For those of you who have not heard it yet, the concept was to have a rapper from each of New Yorks 5 boroughs spit a verse. The only problem is, the rapper selection was so poor that it nullifies that goodness of the idea. I mean, Jim Jones?? How long can this dude run with that BALLIN shit? The way it is now, you have Jim Jones for Manhattan, KRS-One for BX, Method Man for Staten Island, Lil Kim for BK and LL for Queens. To be nice, the song is alright. But given the concept, I propose this could have been much better....especially if the would allow 2 rappers from each borough. Imagine this track:

Nas & LL for Queens
Jay-Z & Papoose for BK
Meth and Rae from S.I.
Old Pun verse and Krs for BX
Old Big L verse and Anyone other then Jim Jones for Manhattan.

That shit would be fire......

Following the same train of thought, what line up would you put together for a US remix? I would suggest 2 rappers from each region (east, west, south, south central(texas is mad big!) and midwest). I think mine would look like this:

East - Jay and Nas
South - Luda and TI
West - Snoop and Game (pains me to say it)
South central - Scarface and Bun B
Midwest - Eminem and Royce da 5'9

What do you think?

That pretty much locks it up....

I was going to go in on the republican candidates, but given that Shit Romney just pulled the plug on his run, it pretty much locks up an already leading Mccain. Personally, I think Mccain is a decent choice (I guess). I do disagree with some of his bullshit, namely his immigration and extended Iraq policies. That and the guy is like 200 years old. Most guys his age are trying to remember where they left the Fixodent. I hope he doesn't start hosting BINGO games in the oval office. However, he was supposedly tortured for like 5 years out in Vietnam or someshit which, if true, means that he can look at all the other candidates and say, "I kept it more realer, and will continue to keep it more realer. How's that for experience?" I'm sure some of the details surrounding the actual imprisonment have been embellished, but fuck it. If I came home from a POW camp (which is gully enough), I can not say for certain that I wouldn't exaggerate at least a little...you know, just to make myself look like the man. Can't knock that hustle.....

I should probably do some work here, considering that I am at work, but, to quote my favorite online video of the moment "not now chief, I'm in the zone!"

Like most people, I have my reservations with regards to the war in Iraq. I wouldn't quite put myself amongst the overly liberal humanitarian types, but I have a few problems with the way shit is being handled over there. I am just unsure why we continue to risk American lives to help people who blow themselves up. If the people of Iraq truly wanted a Democratic state, let that be their fucking job. I think that we should just be more forward about our agenda. Once we got Saddam out of power, we should have just jacked the resources (umm oil!) that we wanted and kept it moving. It's no fucking secret that we have a vested economic interest in the region. You know notable politicians and military minds in American history, such as George Washington, warned of the issues we could run into when we begin to overextend our influence into the affairs of foreign nations. I think we should have listened.....

Also, what's the deal with our military? No disrespect to any service members, but fuck. Are we going full scale over there? If what we are seeing from Iraq is any indication of the current strength of our military presence, it is pretty sad. With every bombed market or roadside massacre, we are losing the respect from the other superpowers. That is one reason why I disagree with the troop removal from Iraq. I would rather see the troops from around the globe be brought home to there families and send a full scale military intervention in Iraq. I do not think a cut a run is the way out. We have invested time, money and lives to this mission and it should be completed before we exit. However, the plan for its completion needs a serious adjustment. Namely, we just need to get a little bit grimmier.

I am not void of moral beliefs or sympathy for innocent civilians, but I think the time comes when we must gage the value of American soldiers over the bystanders. I mean, this is a war isn't it? I feel as though our lax approach of maintaining daily civility is one major cause for the continued aggression against our occupancy. It is extremely difficult to conquer an enemy we cannot see. As Katt Williams put it, "Can anyone tell me what the Iraq military uniform looks like?" In other words, we are not fighting a convention war against a convention army. This calls for unconventional measures. I do not have the answers as to how, but I feel a swift tomahawk missile attack would do the trick! No, but seriously, a quick and forceful (6 months, with an increase 100K troops) attack plan before a full withdrawal could prove beneficial. If nothing else, it sends the message to the world that we do not back down or leave a mission incomplete. (I am not sitting in my cubicle with a bald eagle bandana on or pumping my fist in the air, I'm just saying!)

In any event....holler for Ron Paul. Mccain means more Iraq and open borders. Just my opinion, for the two or maybe three people that will read this.

Vote or Don't...

With all the buzz around the silly ass "super Tuesday" voting nonsense, I figured I would chime in on my position. I will start by saying that I am officially endorsing a person with no shot at making it, but fuck it....Ron Paul, Holla! Anyway, I have been paying some attention (and by some attention I mean that a show was on when I woke up to take a piss the other night and it caught my attention for about twelve minutes) to these silly elections. Take the quiz below and see who you fucks with!
http://www.kieskompas-usa.nl/page/0/thema+s/

Below, I will make some quick judgments and give you my opinion of each candidate:

Obama: He seems like the lesser of two evils when it comes to going democratic. I don't by into the "lacks experience" argument because experience does not equate to capability. He seems a little to idealistic and while he presents seemingly plausible goals, he reminds me of the kid in your local grammar school student council elections that promised to get chocolate milk out of the water fountains and no homework on Friday's.

Pro :
He did stand forth with his belief that the Iraq War was worse then blood money in a pimps cum. And, he did it at a time when the approval rating for both Bush and the War were in the 90% range. Basically, he was firm in his decision and stood by it whilst campaigning for a run in the Senate. Therefore, he was willing to risk his potential politcial career by expressing a then unpopular opinion. In addition, he had the foresight to see what a shit storm we were walking into.

Con:
Having the middle name of "Hussein" does not sit well with some, especially those crazy middle Americans. That, in combination with his skin color, seems to bother the less educated population. Personally, the only problems I have is what was mentioned above. His ideals sound great, but seem to lack substance.

Hillary:
I guess I'm a hater, but I just don't like this bitch. It is just something she gives off that makes me think about slapping her with my strong hand, directly following a snowball fight. I guess the whole Clinton/Bush Dynasty creates a little resentment in me as well. And what experience does she have? She was the first lady to the most overrated president in history. She is just trying to use the popularity of her husbands' presidency for her own political success.

Pro:
She seems to have a better grasp of the political process. Also, I think she is a little more realistic with her goals in regards to troop withdrawal and immigration.

Con:
She seemed to outline an okay health care reform model, but then realized she needed the financial backing from the Big Healthcare Providers....so I guess that will need adjustments. Also, she is a woman. And no offense to women, but they are a crazy breed. We can have her mad at the Cabinet members because of the way they said something. Iran may need to be ready to go if Hillary is on the rag. (Side note: What kind of woman won't give her husband, who happends to be the fucking President of the United States, a descent blowjob? Instead, the poor man is forced to shot his load on the dress of some fat secretary.)


Check back tomorrow for a better look at the republican candidates.

what the dog shit?

First and foremost, I take nothing from a Giant team that slapped the Pats in the jibbs. Having said that, I think the Pats looked more like the Jets last night. Can someone explain to me why you don't kick a 49 yard field goal on 4th and 13? Or better yet, why is your 4th and 13 play a lob to a double covered Jabar Gaffney in the end zone? Shady.....

How about the 12 players on the field challenge? So you challenge that, but not the blantant fumble recovery that was taken away? Once the Patriot recovered the fumble and was touched....the play was over. Never mind being rolled over and having the ball taken from you. Granted, that was a supreme bitch move to allow the ball to be taken, but it should have been reviewed nonetheless.

Don't even get me started on the clock during the Giants last drive. There was a sequence, at about 1:28, when the clock just didn't run. Or, the clock stops because the jack-off ref's are trying to determine if the ball was a first down....and it just didn't start up again.

In addition, this was by far the poorest officiated game I have seen in a while. The ridiculous push off by Toomer was hysterical. The amazing (an it truly showed heart by Eli) sack evasion, should have been whistled dead per the stated rules "Officials are to blow the play dead as soon as the quarterback is clearly in the grasp and control of any tackler, and his safety is in jeopardy." Eli made a great play and Tyree was really using his head on that catch! (See what i did there....Zing!)

The Giants played excellent football, on both sides of the ball. The Patriots...not so much. I think the Giants deserved the win. But, in the spirit of hating, I want to state that I think their victory was due to one of three reasons:

1) Tom Brady found out that Moss went ass-to-mouth on Gisele the night before, thus causing his inability to focus.

2) Eli Manning received stem-cells to help recover from the obvious "short bus" gene in his pedigree. He, for the first time, seemed to have a clear understanding of where he was.

3) Bellichek and the Pats find it much harder to call the plays of the league leading offense when they can't film your defensive signals. Fucking rules......

Flying?? That shits for the birds...

As I sit here at work shuffling between quotes and orders alike, I use the downtime to get my daily dose of the web. I move from gossip site to ESPN to hip-hop sites and finally the good ole' CNN.com. I guess you could criticize the fact that I go from Hollywood bullshit to sports and music before the news, but that just shows how comfortable I have become. In turn, I found an article showing how lax we as a society have become. So, to get to the point, I came across an article about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) getting the proverbial long stroke (similar to that of Ron Jeremy) when an undercover government agent successfully smuggled a fake bomb onto an airplane. Maybe the overweight hood rich broad at the x-ray machine should have payed more attention to the job rather then her 2 inch finger nails. I bet if the agent had a Gucci bag, she would have noticed. Nevertheless, the whole increased airport security idea was fucked from jump street. I mean, with the amount of civil liberty enthusiast in addition to a well publicized "non profiling" policy of the agency, how in the fuck can we expect the security to be worth a shit. I've seen far better security at the NYC clubs, and far better policies for that matter. Sadly, the larger majority of people fail to realize that the same freedoms we cherish, are the same reasons we are so prime for the picking. Had this been a real attempt by a real terrorist, shit would be all over the news. Because it wasn't, we will continue to think shit is sweet and check on whether Britney Spears's vagina was exposed again.

Short and sweet today, like a midget with a fudge-pop. Bottom line is: if you are thinking about flying, you may want to consider greyhound. If we were meant to fly, we'd a been given wings. I know the overwhelming statistics showing air travel as the safest way to travel, but anyone ever meet a survivor of an airplane crash? I'm just saying.

FYI: Link to britneys vag. Looks like someone left a roastbeef sandwich in the summer sun for a week....

Dumb Rappers Need Teaching

What is the deal with all these dumb fucking rappers? Too dumb to realize that the Five-O is hawkin'. Publicity stunts? I doubt it. Most of these jack-offs (see Lil Wayne or TI) will spend at least some time locked down. And rightfully so. I don't think they should be allowed to stay in the vision of the impressionable youth. They gave that privilege up when they were too stupid to distance themselves from the bullshit. I don't want to hate, but I feel obligated as a Hip-Hop fan to speak my mind. I know we shouldn't expect too much from them, it's not like a high school diploma or college education was ever a logical step in the path of rap super stardom, but fuck. I heard an interview with the rapper Plies when I was down in Florida, and this clown might be one of the dumbest cats out there. Just listening to him speak was a struggle to any reasonably educated person. Then, one of my dude's pointed me to a VIBE interview he did. LMAO:

When asked about his name the rapper responded: "Plies is a tool, You can use it to put the squeeze on things, like I'm doing to these n*ggas in the rap game. I got the squeeze on them real tight, they feeling the pressure, or you can use it to pull things out. I pull out all the bullsh*t and keep the real you feel me? It also a word you can use in terms of things goin' on in yo life, ya dig. You may hear something I say and say that it plies to me. Plies straight to me."

Vibe: "I've heard of a tool called a Pliers and the term applies."

Plies: "You know what I'm trying to say my n*gga, just buy my album, I'm from the South my n*gga, we don't learn no grammar. My Album out August 7, 2007, cop three copies each, it's Christmas in July fo' real, ya dig? "

This is a perfect example of the "artists" filling the ipods of today's youth. You would think that if you were going to be known by a name, you would at least want it to be accurate enough that the general population could see the correlation between the slang variation you're using and the actual word, but maybe not. People in the south are a little slow and supposedly, they don't learn no grammar.


So, according to his verse on his "daddy's" song "100 Million dollars", Lil Wayne says "I all night it, I everyday it". Evidently, the DEA and Arizona Piggies figured he would be riding dirty when they stopped him the other day. After all, he does "everyday it". My question is, if you have "100 Million dollars" why not pay a flunky to carry your creative inspiration and thus, avoid these legal complications? But why attempt to decipher the thoughts of a fake blood who kisses men? It's like trying to shit in the kitchen sink. It makes me wonder what would cause someone who is currently on top of the game, despite his quasi-homoerotic escapades and drug induced drooling on half his appearance's, to have such a lapse in judgment. I am not saying that Wayne is even educated enough to understand the ramifications of his actions, but you think someone in his camp would be at least semi-paranoid about the bacon wagons.

This rap shit is like a real life version of the Dave Chappelle episode of "when keeping it real goes wrong". We all know that the listening community likes to correlate the street credibility of these rappers with the persona they portray on their records, but does that make it necessary? Is being a G the only way to talk about G shit? And if you really think about it, wouldn't the cat without the criminal record or gang affiliation be the more gangsta one? I mean, since when is getting knocked a good thing? Or, as Jada says, "Since when is it cool to get shot and not shoot back?" Somebody needs to explain to me why the hip hop fans worry about how real these artists are when the larger majority of them never touched weight in their life. Shouldn't the emphasis be on the flow, lyrical strength and the overall ability to keep the listener interested for an entire album?

Not to say that this falls solely on the audience though. Its not like the artist are not playing right into it. For instance, we can look at the Game or Lil Wayne. Wayne, a new found affiliate of the Bloods, has been signed to Cash Money since he was 11. He's been shot, (by himself of course) which is seemingly mandatory now-a-days ("niggas is acting like slugs is awards and they proud to get em"). Yet, he portrays this gangsta image when the hip-hop community would probably accept him more wholeheartedly if he came out real. How about the Game? Also a new found affiliate, gets a tattoo of a butterfly on his face as a symbolic representation of his Grandmother. That is not the problem. The problem is that a real G would have keep it there instead of quickly covering it up with a LA sign and now a red star once he got a taste of the ridicule. (Side note: tattoos on your face might be the sign of the lowest educated members of society, I mean, its your face!)

I say that to say this: Hip Hop is resurrecting itself. The whole Hip Hop is dead campaign has really swept through the game. Fact is, Hip Hop is healing itself. We are beginning to weed out the bullshit. Hip Hop isn't dead, but record sales are. And if you look back at the beginning of this whole shit, record sales were not up in the millions. In fact, the whole problem started when we began to determine the value of an artist based on there first week sales. That's the germ that started this whole Hip Hop is Dead epidemic. But Hip Hop isn't dead. I would call this the great depression of Hip Hop. All we need now is the rap version of FDR to come through and new deal this bitch! Bad news though, its not Lil Wayne or Kanye West. Sadly, its not this new blood of Papoose or Joell Ortiz. More then likely, the savior is yet to be discovered.

But fact is, the rappers of today need to realize that ignorance is not the way to the top. Maybe for a ring tone deal or something, but not for sustained longevity in this game. While I enjoy the "I'm so Hood remix" as much as the next man, its just not the representation of Hip Hop that we should be idolizing. As you get older, you begin to realize that a song with substance is far more stimulating then a song about moving weight with a catchy hook will ever be. When you can walk into your local high school and see a group of white girls humming the "I wear my pants below my waist...." shits gone sour. There is a huge difference between a "Can't Knock the Hustle" and "5000 ones" or between "Everyday Struggles" and "I'm so hood". At least I think so.

Basing your opinion of an artist, hip hop or otherwise, on their credibility outside their respective genres or based on the popularity of there work, is shortsighted to say the least. It's also the characteristics of the weak minded and immature. Denzel, Dr. Dre and Kobe were all once local hype with little support. Now, you could argue they are the best at what they do. So, let these dumb rappers weed themselves out. If these hip hop fans truly give a shit, stop supporting the mindless bullshit overflowing youtube and flooding you local radio station. Supporting fake shit by fake thugs....what part of the game is that?

The super bowl

Those Giants made it in. No thanks to the stellar performance of their shitty kicker. I thought the Giant fans would get the same bitter taste in their mouth that my faithful Jets gave me when their kicker missed those FG's in Pittsburgh a few years back. Luckily, the Giants D has been holding shit down. Also, that Bradshaw kid can run the ball and mixes in well with the brick shit house Brandon Jacobs. Also, Plaxiglass seems like he is magically healed from the injury that has "plagued" him all year. That is a good sign. Too bad cheater Bill is going to expose just how bad Eli is. The more time without the ball in the hands of Eli, the better for Giant fans. Sure, he has been playing mistake free this postseason, but there is more to winning super bowls then just not making mistakes. Either way, win or lose, Eli still sucks! If that guys doesn't hold the recessive down syndrome gene, then the sky ain't blue.

The worst part about this whole shit show, is now I have to sit around for two weeks listening to the Giant fans tell me how close the last game of the season was. While the score sure does reflect a close game, many people conveniently forget the 2 fluke TD's the Giants got. First, the kickoff return by some guys named Hixon, and the second at the end of the game during prevent defense "junk time". Take those two scores away, and the final is 38-21. Also, the Pats made 3 trips to the red zone which led to FG's. I think we all know that not getting in the end zone is a rarity for the Pats.

Oh, and what about the pressure. The Giants were playing for their shot at history with that last game. If they win, they knock off the undefeated team. If they lose, they were supposed to. This time, the pressure is equal.

The media will continue to point to the last game of the season as the turning point for the G-men. You know the Pats are good when losing to them is your teams highlight. I do not doubt the turn around in the Giants. Going into Tamps, Dallas & the Ice Shit house in Wisconsin is no easy task. They are playing some promising football. But, we cannot assume the momentum to belong to the Giants. Remember that ole 18-0 record, that defines momentum.

Then there is the boot. All of a sudden, Tom Brady was seen sporting some sort of air cast. If you ask me, he is just doing it for the bitches. Now, when he throws 5 touchdowns in the Superbowl, the media can slurp him off about how he did it on an injured foot. I hope fucking Strahan breaks his fucking leg off!

I am torn because I want to see the Giants win, just to rep the State, but I also want to see them get blown out. I think the reasoning for that second wish is multi-tier. First, I have been watching these Patriot duchebags all year with this fucking perfect season shit, I just want it to be completed. This way, I don't have to hear about how good the Florida smart fish were in 72 or the tenacious D of the 85 bears. I can look at all those old fucks and say that the best team of all time is from this generation, fueled with HGH, steroids, the Pacman Jones' and dog slayers, but this generation nonetheless. Also, I want to be able to look at the faces of the disappointed Giant fans and see them feeling a small piece of what a Jet fan deals with each year.

You may say I'm being a hater, but the fact remains, the Giants will not win. They got smoked by the Vikings! Also, check the stats of the Patriots under cheater Bill when he has two weeks to prepare. All I'm saying is: Giant fans should just be happy to be here, but this is where the road ends. Any given Sunday, yea I know. But not Sunday February 3rd for the G-men.

Check me out Bitches

Whats up people,
As you can see, I found me a Blog to jumble my bullshit on. Every so often, as work becomes tiresome, I will come to these pages and vent. Sometimes about current topics, sometimes about sports, and sometimes about nothing. Either way, check me out!
