Every Little Girl?...

No this is not a post about R. Kelly, but if you happened to have wasted 3 hours of your life watching the BET awards this past Sunday, you probably caught the Young Money performance.

If you saw the performance and didn't find it offensive and repulsive, please leave this site immediately. If you didn't see it consider yourself lucky. Why? Well here's what happened...

The performance starts with Drake sittin' in a wheelchair on a stool (apparently he tore his ACL) all by himself on stage. He performs the first verse off of "Best I Ever Had", then Lil' Wayne and the rest of the Young Money crew come out as they transition into crew song "Every Girl". So far so good huh?

Well during their performance a group of girls come out on stage, surround the rappers and began to dance. Sounds like an ordinary rap performance right? Well when I said "girls" I meant that shit literally. These weren't scantily clad grown ass video vixens...these were like 10 yr old little girls with Hello Kitty t-shirts on.

Now you're probably familiar with both of the previously mentioned songs, but just so you can understand why this wasn't a good thing, I thought I'd point out a few lyrics from each one...

Drake - "Best I Ever Had"
"I be hittin' all the spots you even know was there..."

"My shirt ain't got no stripes but I can make that pussy whiiiiiistle..."

Lil' Wayne - "Every Girl"
"I like a long haired thick redbone, open up her legs to filet mignon that pussy / I'm a get in and own that pussy / if she let me in, I'm a own that pussy / gone throw it back, bust it open like you pose to / girl I got that dope dick, now come here let me dope you..."

"But you can't call me choosy / I'll fuck the whole group, baby I'm a groupie..."

Oh, btw Drake was the only one who rapped the clean version.

Now at first I thought these were just random ass pre-teens that ran on stage and I was truly disgusted with the whole thing. But I made an assumption and I was dead wrong. I feel bad because I was really about to go in on Lil' Wayne and his crew for subjecting random little girls to that type of music.

Well, it turns out that the girls weren't random at all!!! One was Lil' Wayne's daughter Reginae (9), another was Tiny's daughter Zonnique (12) and the others were their friends. Apparently, Wayne's daughter was upset because she didn't have the opportunity to come on stage with him when he accepted his award earlier. Wayne being the great father that he is, decided to make up for it by letting her join him on stage as him and his crew performed the uncensored version of their ode to women across the world..."I wish I could fuck every girl in the world". Wayne only told his daughter that she could come on stage, but I think she took the whole "every girl" concept and ran with it, inviting the rest of the girls to join her.

So there you have it...it was all a big misunderstanding and Lil' Wayne wins "Father of The Year".

In all fairness, word is that Wayne is actually a good father and he's very involved in Reginae's life, which is somethin' that can't be said for a lot of fathers, whether they're rappers or everyday Joe Smoes. But damn, talk about bad parenting skills....that was an extremely bad call on his part.

In other news, Drake signed with Young Money/Universal. If you care to read about it go here. No surprises there, but I gotta say I'm little disappointed. I was a fan of Drake's music prior to his whole Lil' Wayne/Young Money affiliation and I feel like he's talented enough to the point where he can make his own lane...not ride in Wayne's.

The Icon, The Legend, The King...

...of Pop Music are just some of the terms that people will to use to try to describe a man who is simply...indescribable.

Michael Jackson is the most influential artist to ever walk the face of this earth. Point. Blank. Period.


Michael Jackson changed music...it's as simple as that. His influence can be heard in every genre of music and in every corner of the world. Along with one of the most talented producers in music, Quincy Jones, Michael redefined and symbolized pop(ular) music in the late 70's, throughout the 80's and the early 90's. Michael Jackson was a star from his days as the energetic and charismatic lead singer of the family band, The Jackson 5, but he found his own cult-like following when he decided to pursue a career as a solo artist. While he was successful as solo artist, it wasn't until the release of his 6th album Thriller that Michael rose to intergalactic superstar status.

I was a damn toddler, but I remember the first time I saw the video for Thriller...

Despite the fact that the ending scared the living' shit out of me, I thought the video was nothing short of phenomenal. As we got older, me and my brother would watch that video over and over tryin' to learn the dance routine. While growing up we loved to perform as different artist (MC Hammer, Bobby Brown, Milli Vanilli and LL Cool J) for family members and our parent's friends...but nothing beat performing as Michael Jackson.

Why? It's because Michael was more than just a talented singer, he was the complete package. So many artist try to be everything but always come up short in some way. Michael didn't have to try because the image, the music, the moves....the magic, came to him so effortlessly...



While I've never had the pleasure of seeing Michael perform in person, I don't think it was necessary for me or anybody else to recognize that he was the epitome of an entertainer. As if the music wasn't enough, Michael put on some of the most entertaining and imaginative performances ever. His groundbreaking videos set the foundation for the mini movie concepts that, to this day, directors try so hard to emulate.

While he gave his all on the stage and the screen, Michael was a very private person and to say that there wasn't much known about his personal life would be an understatement. The small part of Michael's personal life that was revealed, voluntarily and involuntarily, was often scrutinized intensely by the media and the general public. Everything from the plastic surgeries, purchasing of the Elephant Man's remains to his uncanny admiration for children and overall youthfulness was highly criticized. But in all honesty I never thought Michael Jackson was a child molester. I do believe that he did things that as a grown man were inappropriate (i.e. having children sleep in his bed). But I don't think Michael ever touched a child in a any way that was inappropriate. Now, would I let my child (if I had one) spend the night at Neverland? No, but I wouldn't let my child spend the night over most people's house, including some of my own family members so that's not saying much.

To me Michael Jackson was the real life Benjamin Button...the older he got in age, the younger he appeared to become. From the age of 7 he was thrown into the spotlight and forced to live a very hectic life, one that most adults would find unbearable. As a child Michael endured the abuse of his father, Joe "I'm gonna capitalize on my son's death and use this as an opportunity to promote my new record label" Jackson, and sacrificed his entire childhood for music. Then later on when he tried to live out those precious childhood moments as an adult, the world didn't quite understand it. To be honest I don't even think he quite understood it himself. But the fact that he was able to create some of the most profound and inspirational music the world has ever heard, in the mist of what was probably a very painful lifetime struggle to figure out his own identity, is a true testament to his spirit and talent. In a way I feel as though life here on earth was very difficult for Michael, and the world that he gave so much to didn't make it any easier for him. I can't even fathom what it was like to be him, because despite all the money and the fame I really don't think he was ever really happy.

In the end, I don't think there are enough words that can express the influence he's had on music, people and the world. His music speaks for itself, it says more about him and his life than any journalist could ever write...

Hot Ham N Cheese - Nah B*@#h...

WARNING: The following video is NSFW as it contains offensive language and imagery..and it's just ignorant. Btw the screenshot looks worst than it really is, there's no nudity in this video.



*sigh*

Hot Ham N Cheese is a direct result of incest.

There's so many things wrong with this, from his rap name (Hot Ham N Cheese) to the fact that a woman agreed to lay there with her legs wide open as Mr. Cheese sprayed Febreze and Raid in-between them. I'm rarely at a loss for words, but damn...

I'm gonna assume that this was meant to be a joke. I'm really hoping that's the case because if it isn't...God help us all.

It's videos like this that make me feel like there should be more restrictions on who's allowed to purchase video cameras. Potential buyers should be required to fill out an application where they would have to state their intended purpose for purchasing the camera. Then they should be subjected to a background check as well as a psychological evaluation.

New SA-RA, Drake, Nickelus F, Da Internz...

SA-RA - Beauty Dirty Ft. Erykah Badu
Ummm, to be honest I'm not a big fan of SA-RA but I know a lot of people that are so I figured I'd post this.

Drake - Think Good Thoughts Ft. Phonte & Elzhi
This is one of my favorite tracks off of Drake's Comeback Season mixtape....the only thing new about this is Elzhi's verse though.

Nickelus F - Mean It
This is off of Nickelus F & Portishead Present: R.A.R.E. (Reliving A Real Experience), dropping this Friday at OnSMASH. I fux wit it.

Da Internz - Wetter (Every Girl Parody)
I meant to add this to the video post the other day...oh well.

Slum Village - Remember The Classics Mixtape...

...is a kind of like an unofficial greatest hits collection.
If you're a fan of Slum Village then chances are you have every single song on here. If you're not a fan or you're just not familiar with Slum Village, I advise you to download this and get familiar with one of the best and most under-rated groups in Hip-hop, Rap and Music.

Side Note: This is a mixtape and there's a guy shouting all over damn near every song. It's really annoying, but not completely unbearable...then again this is free, so that's the price you pay...or don't.

Link and tracklist after the jump.

Btw I got this from the FWMJ's Rappers I Know.

He Got A Harvard Law Degree To Do This...


Yeah, that's Dawson Alexander aka David Otunga aka Punk aka Jennifer Hudson's Baby Daddy/Fiancé wrestling.

I'm confused...what does she see in this guy? I think it's pretty obvious that this guy is nothing more than an down-low brother attention whore.

I can think of 5 reasons why she shouldn't marry this guy.
5.) He was a contestant on I Love New York 2.
4.) He was nicknamed "Punk" on the show. (Hint)
3.) He looks like he gets his eyebrows done. (Hint)
2.) He likes to wrestle men. (Hint)
1.) He was a contestant on I Love New York 2, his nickname was "Punk", he gets his eyebrows arched and likes to wrestle men.

Somebody tell Jennifer to holla at Star Jones about her ex-husband or Terry McMillan about her ex-husband....I'm sure they could give her some sound advice.

Throwback: Keith Sweat - Merry Go Round...

Keith Sweat is an anomaly...he is undoubtedly the most successful terrible singer ever.

It's mind boggling how this man managed to become such an iconic R&B figure in the late 80's and early 90's.

Despite the fact he sounded like a Llama taking a very painful shit while using auto-tune, Keith's love sick ballads and uptempo new jack songs propelled him to superstar status.

Keith is considered an R&B legend by many people because he (along with Teddy Riley who produced Keith's debut album) helped establish the New Jack Swing sound in the late 80's. All of Keith's songs were created using a complex mixture of beggin', cryin', whinin' and more beggin'. He's quite possibly the worlds greatest beggar...I pray that he never goes broke and becomes homeless. Could you imagine his ass singin' for change? He'd get rich real quick because most people would give him whatever they had on them just so he'd shut the fuck up.

Even with all of that said....I have damn near every Keith Sweat song ever made on my ipod. Okay not every song, more so his earlier stuff. Why? Well if you look and listen past the fact that he couldn't sing worth a shit, Keith Sweat wrote some of the realest R&B songs ever. Real in the sense that you knew he was feelin' every damn word he was singin'. Not to mention he revolutionized the art of beggin'. Dignity? Pride? Balls?.....all foreign words to Mr. Sweat. He simply didn't give a fuck about tellin' you how bad he was hurt...shit he has quite a few songs were I swear he had to be criying while he recorded them.

Most songwriters use their own personal experiences as a basis for their music and Keith was no exception. It's pretty easy to see that the majority of Keith Sweat's earlier songs were about one woman. I think she broke his heart so damn bad he used his first two albums (and lil' bit of the third) to cry about the shit. The title of Keith's songs pretty much spoke for themselves. If you take a look at some of songs off of Make It Last Forever and I'll Give All My Love To You, he pretty much chronicles his failed relationship from the beginning to the end...

The Beginning
He saw a very attractive woman and immediately thought to himself "I Want Her". He made several attempts to talk to her, using lame ass old man lines like "girl I bet I can 'Make You Sweat' ". To no one's surprise he got rejected in a friendly way every time, to which he responded by saying "There You Go Tellin' Me No Again". Eventually she decided to give him a chance because he wore a lot of leather, had some cool sweaters and he looked like he could be a model for Pro-Line Comb-Thru Texturizer hair products. She gave him some ass and it was nothing short of amazing....so he fell in love to the point where he felt like "Nobody" could compare to her and he just wanted to "Make It Last Forever". (Simp)

The Middle
They reached a point in the relationship where every few months they were breakin' up. It seemed like they weren't making any progress, just going in circles like a "Merry Go Round". He started to wonder if she was is in love with him, like he was with her.....then he finally asked her "How Deep Is Your Love?" She told him it was deep and he asked for specifics. So she told him it was kiddie pool deep, not ocean deep and he started to think "Something Just Ain't Right".

The End
He discovered that his suspicions were correct and told her I "Knew That You Were Cheatin'" on me. Then he started crying and whining uncontrollably and asked her "Why Me Baby?" She gave him the infamous line "it's not you, it's me" then left. They went their separate ways and despite the lyin' and the cheatin' he still wanted her to "Come Back". Time passed, he ran into her and realized that he wasn't as over her as he thought. He couldn't quite explain or understand why he felt the way he did, but he figured it was "Just One of Them Thangs" that he was gonna have to get use to.

See, I told his songs tell a story. Movin' on...

I have say that the director made it very apparent that this song was called "Merry Go Round". Unless you're a merry-go-round collector, I refuse to believe that anybody has that many just placed randomly throughout their home. Oh, and the sax playin' clown was just weird.


There's a breakdown at the end of this song (on the album version) that they didn't include in the video...

"Life is, Life is so, is so unfair
If you wanna play circus baby, I don`t wanna be your clown, girl
No, n-no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby
I don`t want the sideshow to begin,
cause I don`t want you to let me in
Baby, sometimes people don`t understand
what they have until it`s gone
Some people don`t know somebody loves them
until it`s too late, baby"


*sigh* That's some real ish right there...

Umm, btw no parts of this post were an autobiographical reference to any of my past, current or recent relationships. I mean why would I sit up here and turn a throwback Keith Sweat post into a heart wrenching, soul bearing, therapeutic blog session? It's not like I've been listening to any of these songs and thinking that one of my relationships were loosely based on Keith Sweat's greatest hits...that's just silly...........isn't it?

....now back to your regularly scheduled posts.

Christina Milian Is In MAXIM...

I'm glad to see Ms. Milian is lookin' like her fine self again, because that whole blond hair and red lipstick look wasn't hot at all. In the July issue of MAXIM she talks about her highly anticipated upcoming album Elope, strip clubs and her role in the straight-to-DVD film Bring It On 27: Fight to the Finish (why are they still making these?). When asked if she used the cheerleader outfit from Bring It On as a turn-on for her boyfriend she said...

"I haven’t brought home a cheerleading outfit. Other outfits, yes, like a maid costume: a cute apron with the mitts and a robe, too. It was red. It was really cute. I try a little bit of everything. I’m all about keeping the excitement in the relationship. That’s why I sing songs like “Dip It Low.” When I’m with somebody, I like to keep it exciting."

Sounds good to me and I'm sure The-Dream is lovin' it. But if I was him, I'd tell her to turn the whole role-playing thing up a notch and get real freaky naughty. I mean seriously test her acting skills, because the maid and the cheerleader roles probably come easy for her...she's probably been both in real life. I'd wanna see her go outside the box and play a role she can't relate to...something like a talented platinum selling R&B singer.

More pics of Ms. Milian after the jump.










Da Internz - Wetter (Every Girl Parody)...

I'm sure you've seen this by now and I try not post stuff that I feel everybody and their momma's gonna post...but to hell with that. This ish is hilarious.


"Now you can drip wit it, now you can drop wit, or you can tippy tah on a runny kine wit it"

For those of you who don't know or remember, that "tippy tah on a runny kine" line is from Pootie Tang. You know the dude who use to be on the Chris Rock Show? He even had his own (very terrible) movie...still don't remember? Good, it's probably best you don't.

New Mario, Big Kuntry King, Gucci Mane, The Clipse...

I know I've been slackin' on the posts lately, but things have been kind of hectic. Don't worry I can't stay away for too long...this whole bloggin' thing is like an addiction after a while. Btw most of this stuff isn't "brand new" but you'll get over it...

Mario - Break Up Ft. Gucci Mane
This ish goes hard in the club...ummm I think. I've been legally intoxicated everytime I've heard it so go figure.

Big Kuntry King - I Do Feat. T.I. & Young Dro
Don't know why...but this hasn't blown up yet. Shout out to D for puttin' me on to this.

Gucci Mane - I Think I Love Her
Don't we all at one point?

The Clipse - I'm Good
It's funny because about two weeks ago I couldn't relate to the title of this song at all...I was the complete opposite. But I've never been the type to worry...things usually work out for the best. I still can't relate to the ish they're talkin about (I won't be rollin' down Lake Shore Drive in a Maserati anytime soon), but I can honestly say I'm good.

I Hope This Isn't A Trend...

...that's about to start.
First guys started walkin' around with half-ass mohawks and now this. Are people really this bored?

Then again, like Cassie, La La might've lost a bet too. She probably bet somebody that Melo and the Nuggets would beat the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. If they lost...she would have to shave half of her hair off and sell her pink Range Rover on eBay. Well, we obviously know how that turned out.

But then again, she could just be a huge fan of Cassie's music (how I don't know) and is mimicking her every move as a result. That's great if that's the case, because now I'm expecting you someone to leak pics of you naked. I'm not saying this because I want to see you naked (though I definitely wouldn't mind). It's just that if you truly are a huge fan of Cassie, then why not strive to the best fan you can be. Simply put, I want you to be happy. So if following in Cassie's footsteps and shaving half of your head and releasing photos of yourself buc ass naked is what's gonna bring a smile to your face, who am I to stand in your way?

Best of luck...I know you can do it.

$350,000 For This...

...beat???

Lil' Wayne Feat. Fabolous & Juelz Santana - You Ain't Got Nuthin' On Me

This song, from Lil Wayne’s multi-platinum Tha Carter III, was produced by The Alchemist and he recently revealed to XXL that it was meant for his upcoming album.

Originally Wayne was just suppose to do the hook, but he dropped a verse on it and then requested to have the track for his album. Alchemist said that he was upset about the request initially.

“At first, I was angry. Just the stubborn, dumb rapper/producer guy. Like, ‘Nah, son, I’m making an album! You’re pulling my arm out of my body! This is a finger on my body and you’re making the body incomplete.’"

Blah, blah, blah....then Universal cut him a check for $350,000 and the clouds parted, the sun came out and he got over it.

Really?? What have I been doin' with my life? I should've been a producer. I knew it...that Casio keyboard I got when I was 8 yrs old was fuckin' golden. But nooo my dumb ass wanted to collect comic books and play 'it' and 'freeze tag'. I mean I like that song and I fux wit the beat, but damn...$350,000?? It wasn't even released as a single. I wonder how long it took him to make that beat. Let's just say it took him a total of 24hrs to make it....that's roughly $14,500.00 an hour.

I swear I need to reevaluate my "career"....first I missed my calling as Keri Hilson's background dancer and now this.

MC Hammer Hasn't Told...

...his son that he blew $30 Million on gold toilets and an army of genie pants wearing dancers. Well, that's okay because Kathy Lee had no problem letting Hammer's son know how much of a dumb ass his daddy was back in the day. (Fast Forward to the 2 minute mark)


First, his son needs to stay in school because he has absolutely no talent with regards to singing...that rendition of "Heartless" was nothing short of horrible. Second, did you peep how his son looked at him when she said "$33 Million"? He looked at him with a smirk like "Huh? Wtf did she just say? I don't even have my own room you stupid..."

Then Hammer's response was hilarious...

Hammer : "...that's not something you would say to a 10yr old..."
Kathy Lee: "...he's 11."
Me: *dead*

I just find it funny that his son didn't know anything about his father blowing a fortune back in the day. I'm sure he was aware that his father was a "rapper"...he never Googled his ass? I guess not, if he had he would've known that his pops blew his money on shit like...

Well first there was his home which had the following:

* Recording studio
* 33 seat theater with stadium seating
* 2 swimming pools (one indoor/one outdoor)
* Tennis courts
* A baseball diamond
* Waterfalls, ponds, and aquariums
* Mirrored Bathroom (at least $75,000 in mirrors throughout the house)
* $2 Million of Italian marble floors and a floor-to-ceiling gray marble office with customized marble niches for awards.
* Marble countertops in the kitchen (the house was heavily decorated in marble)
* A stop sign with "Hammertime!" engraved in to it
* Massive gold and black marble jacuzzi in the master bedroom
* Basketball courts
* Bowling alley
* 17 car garage
* Two gold-plated "Hammertime" gates for entrance to the property
* A dishwasher installed in his master bedroom for the purpose of "cleaning up after a midnight snack".

Nothing wrong with all of that. A man's gotta live comfortably, plus there's a difference between 'needs' and 'wants'. Those were obviously 'needs'...and now the 'wants':

* A fleet of 17 automobiles, including a Lamborghini, a stretch limousine, a Range Rover, and a De Lorean.
* Two helicopters.
* 1976 Refurbished "Hoopty Ride"
* Investments up to $1 million in Thoroughbred racehorses.
* Antique golf clubs, Etruscan sculpture, and gold chains for his 4 pet rottweilers.
* A huge entourage of over 200 people for total monthly wages of $500,000.
* A leased Boeing 727.

Hammer's gonna have a hard time explaining how he blew all that money to his kids. If they're just finding out about that, then I'm a 100% sure they haven't seen this....


They're just gonna lose all respect for their father after seeing this. I'd run away from home immediately.

Imagine if you found out that you have to get a paper route at 11yrs old because your father blew $33 Million on the shit listed above...then to top it off he made a video called "Pumps In The Bumps" wearing nothing but a Leopard print thong, weight lifting gloves and Jodeci boots. Good luck trying to explain that shit Hammer.

New Mary J. Blige, Ghostface, Cassie, Wale...

Mary J. Blige Feat. Drake - The One
I mean damn, this dude has blown up overnight...guest appearances on Mary's track and Jay's upcoming single off of Blueprint 3. Well I told yall he was gonna be a problem over 2 years ago....before all the other blogs hopped on the bandwagon.

Ghostface Killah - Forever
Hands down, one of my favorite rappers....and one of the most underrated.

Cassie - Must Be Love Feat. Day 26, Red Cafe, Busta Rhymes & Diddy
Just give up. I mean this girl has absolutely no talent whatsoever....Diddy could get Jesus Christ to do an album with her and it still wouldn't sell (no disrespect to JC).

Wale Feat. Lady Gaga - Chillin'
Okay, so this isn't new. Earlier this week he dropped the video for this and it made me like the song even more than I did before...so I decided to post it. If you haven't seen the video you can check it out after the jump.


Jay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)...

So I'm sure you've either heard it or heard about it by now...the internet was buzzin' like crazy about the street single, "D.O.A." from Jay-Z's upcoming Blueprint 3 yesterday.

Jay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) CDQ (prod. by No I.D.)
This is the CDQ version...minus all of the static and Funk Flex bombs droppin' every 3 seconds.

I just find it funny that Jay comes along and decides to kill off auto-tune when Ye's latest album was damn near a 100% auto-tune. I mean, he was the only rapper (that I can think of) to make a full album using auto-tune...not to mention that the Blueprint 3 was originally gonna have some auto-tune on it (although I don't think Jay was using it himself). Jay's 1st official single, supposedly called "Off That", features Drake and is set to be released in July. I'm gonna assume Drake isn't gonna do any singing on it...considering the fact he uses auto-tune. Oh well, best believe rappers will stray away from auto-tune now. Why? Because Hov can body a trend with one song...remember throwback jerseys?

Blueprint 3....9/11/2009

A Night To Remember...

..is the cliche that is often used as the them for high school proms. Well prom season has come to an end and teenagers across the country now have memories, both good and bad, that will last them a lifetime.

But with outfits like these, how could their prom nights be anything but memorable?

You might've seen these floatin' around on the net, these pics are from two different proms, one last year and one this year....

Nothing says class like a prison pose. "We gettin' money niccah!"


"I want to wear somethin' classy and comfortable for prom...hmmmm. I got it! Can you make me a jogging suit...a really classy jogging suit, with these colors."


Female Wrestler?


"Let's just go to prom together girl....and don't worry my sister can make our dresses. She in school for fashion design."


This little boy has absolutely no idea what the hell is goin' on, look at his face...he's probably thinkin' "Why the fuck am I here!? I'm like 13 years early!"


"I swear I came up with the jogging suit idea first...haters!"


The family that proms together, stays together.


Is that a Playboy handbag in the background?


This is too easy...no comment.


I'm really at a loss for words.


I give up.

The Real Radio Killa...

...is Trey Songs, not The-Dream.

Teddy Ruxpin The-Dream is cool, but he's like R. Kelly 2K9, minus the whole urinating on minors thing. Plus his lyrics are starting to get really stupid, most of his songs sound the same to me and his last album was barely okay. While I'm not a fan of any of Trey's original music, I fux with just about anything he remixes. Over the last year or so he's been taking the most popular songs on the radio and killin' em.


You might've heard some or all of these, but I figured I'd post some of the Trey Songs remixes I had in my iTunes library just in case you haven't...


First Date Sex

Rockin' That Thang

Every Girl

Paper Planes

Day & Night

Pop Rose w/ Drake

Comfortable

Say You Will w/ Kanye

Swagga Like Songz

It's Songz Snitches

...or just go here to download all of these songs.

Btw, do you know how difficult it was to find a pic of this niccah where he wasn't trying to look sexy or where he actually had a damn shirt on? Damn, can't you R&B singers just take regular pictures?

The Sony PSP Go...

...was officially announced yesterday at E3.

The new version of Sony's popular PSP will be released on October 1st and will retail for $249. The Go has a hidden set of controls that slide from under the screen...kind of like a cell phone. It's also 50 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than the original PSP-1000. The Go doesn't have a UMD drive, instead the games will be loaded via Memory Stick Micro slot or over PlayStation Network.

Pic of the controls and a brief list of specifications after the jump.

* Approx. 128 x 16.5 x 69 mm (width x height x depth)

Kanye West - Spaceship & Paranoid...

Kanye West Ft. GLC, Consequence & Tony Williams - Spaceship


Man, this was my shit off of The College Dropout!! I don't think you understand...this album came out during my last semester of college. I worked 3 jobs my last semester of school so this song was...I can't even explain it...it was that real.

That line Ye' had about assaulting his manager...lets just say I can relate. No I didn't assault my manager...I just threatened to...never mind...

A few words from GLC and Kanye's official video for "Paranoid" after the jump.

GLC had this to say about the release of the "Spaceship" video...

First off, I’d just like to thank everyone for believing! There’s a lot of people saying where we could of been if this was released in 04. I no longer wanna deprive the people of their rights! You have the right to embrace my concept as well as those of Kanye, Consequence & Tony Williams as we gave you our all! This is a story of triumph over the ills of society & the workforce interfering with your pimpin’ & in this time of a recession this record may be more relevant now than it was in 2004! Thank for letting me grow with you! Love, Life & Loyalty coming soon! Hello World! Oh yeah my player is fixed too sorry about the prior non pimpish auto-play!

Here's the Kanye approved version of "Paranoid".

Random Quote: Eve...

Last week Eve decided to beat a dead horse and comment on the whole Chris Brown and Rihanna situation via Twitter.

Her comments were in response to Chris' recent video in which he talks about his new album and states "I'm not a monster".



"hold on hold on!! im just gonna reach out to some of ya’ll out there and say this bluntly, why do ppl keep tryin to protect chris browns ass

hes guilty until proven innocent, and no man should ever raise a hand to a woman, im so sick of people kissin his ass..yeh i did just watch

a clip of him saying he isnt a monster…yeh motherfucker u are. let him or any other man come to me with power fists..id fuck him up.

and a message to rihanna…girl your beautiful and talented and u dont need a nigga like that around u…ur special and deserve better…

& finally,no we dont no wat happened that night, all i no, is seein rihannas beautiful face bruised and upset..thats enuff 4 me."

I've been trying to avoid putting my 2 cents in on the whole Chrianna saga. But after reading this I figured I'd comment on a few things about this and domestic violence in general...

  • I don't think that a man should put his hands on a woman...that should go without saying. I think any man who hits or beats his woman/girlfriend/wife is a certified bitch and I have more respect for the Charmin's diamond weave 2-ply toilet paper that I wipe my ass with than I will ever have for any man that does so.

    As with every rule, there is an exception. With that being said, a man has just as much of a right to defend his life as a woman does. If a woman comes at me with a knife, bat, lead pipe, gun or any other weapon with intent to harm or kill me, she's just given me the green light to fuck her up to whatever point is necessary to ensure my safety and well-being. In that situation, I'm going into survival mode and the gender of my offender is the least of my concerns.

  • Chris Brown was dead wrong for putting his hands on Rihanna. I saw the pics just like everyone else, and while I don't know exactly what happened, I don't think his life was in danger or it was a situation that warranted his actions.

    Eve says that Chris Brown is a monster and he's guilty until proven innocent. I honestly don't think Chris Brown is a monster...John Wayne Gacy is a monster. Ted Bundy is a monster. Jeffrey Dahmer is a monster. If this is truly the first time Chris has done something like this...he is young man who obviously made a very bad decision. He fucked up. No if, ands or buts about it. He was wrong and he should suffer the consequences of his actions. If Rihanna was a close friend or family member of mine, those consequences would involve the wiring of Mr. Brown's jaw. As well as months of rehabilitation...ever seen somebody pop-lock in a wheelchair?

  • From a very young age, any male that was raised correctly has been told that he should never put his hands on a woman. While there's nothing wrong with this statement (sans the exception rule), I feel as though it's one sided and somewhat incomplete. By instilling this notion into the minds of both, boys and girls, we're indirectly saying that it's okay for a woman to put her hands on a man. This notion hurts women more than men because it gives some women a false sense of security, a propensity to physically disrespect men and to a degree it sets them up to become victims of domestic violence later on in life. I think that as much as the notion that a man should never put his hands on a woman is stressed, the notion that a woman should never put her hands on a man should be stressed equally if not more. How many times have you seen or heard of a woman hitting a man? Of those times how many times did the man do nothing in response? *cough*Charles Hamilton*cough* I believe that some women may hit or attack men with the preconceived notion that he will respond in the "correct" manner and do nothing.

    For example, I was raised from a very young age to never put my hands on a woman and to treat women with utmost respect. In my 27 years on this earth, I've only had one physical altercation with the opposite sex....and that was in the 2nd grade. Remember when kids used to write "Do you like me?" on a piece of paper and put "Yes" of "No" on it for you to circle? Do kids still do that? With all of technological advancements that have taken place since the 80's they probably don't, shit they'll be sending holograms in minute....damn I feel old. Anyway, one day this girl in my class sent me one of those notes and despite the fact that I didn't really like her, I circled "Yes". Back then in grammar school that was like saying "I do." So we started our life together, you know.....sitting with each other at lunch, sharing butter cookies, holding hands, pushing her on the swings at recess...real love. So this lasted about 2 weeks before I decided I wanted to go back to living the life of a 7 year old bachelor. I figured I'd end it the same way it began, so I sent her a note. I don't recall what it said exactly, but it was probably somewhere along the lines of "I don't like you no mo..."

    As I watched the note make its way over to her, I thought to myself, "she really likes me....this is gonna break her heart....and piss her off." I wanted to do neither, so at one point I started to recall the note, but it was too late. The note was well on its way to her desk, being passed from one snot nosed hand to the next. Then I thought about it like, "Forget her, I've been missing out on quality conversations at recess with the fellas. We had catching up to do....the new season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was amazing, G.I. Joe had some new action figures that had just been released....I'm about to live it up!"

    Then I saw her face as she read the note....two words came to mind...."Uh, Oh."

    Needless to say, she wasn't too happy about the divorce papers she had just received. The whole day I remember feeling extremely uncomfortable. This probably had something to do with the fact that she was staring at me like I had just stole her chocolate milk at lunch and tore the heads off of all her Barbie dolls. I mean if looks could kill...I wouldn't be writing this because I would've died when I was 7 yrs old. When school was over I felt so relieved that I had made it through the day without any problems. I figured she'd be over it by tomorrow. Then I saw her...she came rushing towards me, her face red, her eyes filled with tears...and it was at that moment that I felt like shit. I mean, I was about to apologize then...

    ...with strength of a ghetto Greek Goddess, she swung her right leg back and kicked me square in the nuts.

    The pain....oh...my...God....the pain. Instantly, I fell to the to my knees and she began to stomp me like it was a gang initiation. Now at this point there were a few things going on. I was crying immensely from the excruciating pain I was feeling in my nuts. I was also wondering if I would be able to reproduce when I got older. Lastly, I was contemplating foot sweepin' that little bitch and beating her ass. Then I remember thinking that this was a girl, an innocent, delicate, pink blouse wearing girl....and my parents raised me to never put my hands on a female. Plus, outside of the kick to nuts, she really wasn't hurting me....so I laid there blocking her British Knight sneakers for about 2 minutes or so until she ran off.

    Now suppose this little girl went on to kick a few more boys in the nuts while she was growing up. Then suppose that all of them responded to the situation the same way that I did. Subsequently, this little girl grows up to be a woman who has gone through life hitting men, who for whatever reason never hit her back. In addition to that, she was always raised to believe that a man should never put his hands on a woman. Now we have a woman who thinks it's okay to hit a man because men don't hit women back or at least they're not suppose to. Despite hearing about and/or probably seeing men hit women, she thinks that those situations are rare exceptions and don't apply to her because her experiences reinforce that train of thought. One day this grown woman gets into an argument with her boyfriend and things get heated. She punches him in the face. Now her boyfriend was raised to not put his hands on a woman...but he was also raised to believe if someone hits you, you hit them back. He also grew up thinking that the latter notion was more prevalent....so he punches her in the face.

    She was wrong. He was wrong.

    But the first thing that most people would say is that...

    "He should've walked away."

    That would definitely be my response....but why is it that the burden of self-control is immediately placed on him? Is he more in the wrong than she is? Why wouldn't the first thing out of people's mouths be...

    "She shouldn't have hit him."

    In the end, I'm simply saying that both men and women should have the same amount of respect for each other. As with every action in life there are consequences, boys and girls need to be raised to know that they shouldn't put their hands on anyone, regardless of their gender. We as a society need to place an emphasis on the fact that violent acts towards anyone male or female, boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife is not right.
Just in case you didn't pick up on it...I believe that a man should have enough self-control to walk away, even if he's punched by a woman, but that's just how I was raised.

Even though I clown him...shout out to Charles Hamilton for taking that mouth shot like a man.

Jamie Foxx Is...

...one lucky bastard.

Halle Berry decided to make me extremely jealous of Jamie Foxx at the Spike TV’s 2009 “Guys Choice Awards” Saturday night. She kissed him, grabbed his crotch and let him palm her tight ass....shoot me...please. If that was me I would've had to walk right off stage directly afterwards....facing the audience, side stepping the whole way. If I would've turned sideways I would've gotten fined by the FCC like Janet did for the whole Superbowl titty thing. Why? Let's just say they haven't made a pair of underwear or jeans that would've been strong enough to hold back my excitement.

Jamie Foxx and Keri Hilson's backup dancer are very Zen like creatures...kind of like Black Buddhas. It's quite fascinating. How do they control themselves in these situations? Do you see where Halle's hand is at? That right there would've made me forget we were at an awards show. I would've immediately thought we were back at my place, in my bedroom, with "Blame It" playing in the background, candles burning, maple syrup everywhere, video camera recording....

*Sigh*

More pics after the jump.




Oh yeah, I like to dedicate this video to Ms. Berry.
