Spreadin the real: Rakim is the god mc

I always thought that Rakim had to be the most influential rapper since hip hop's inception (still haven't seen the Inception flick gotta go see it)...because if you listen to the artists that were big before him and at that time, no one had the rhyme flow like he had...and since Rakim blessed the mic every rapper since him has adopted what we call 'flow' now...back in hip hop's early days the words didn't flow together it was highly rhythmic and choppy but Rakim changed all of that...peep the vid about him talking about performing the entire Paid in Full album at the Rock the Bells concert (i wish that concert would come down pass the Mason/Dixon line to the south)....peep

NBA season 10-11 anticipation - Shaq still got it?

I can't wait for the NBA season to start...this may be the most excited i've been for the start of a NBA season since the Bulls were running the 90's...one thing i have to think about again was Shaq signing with the Celtics...at first I thought Shaq is on his last leg so why would Boston pick up another aging veteran who can play but does not have the durability to play at least 75% healthy for a full season...well i might eat those words cuz looking at "Shaqtus" on his Shaq vs. show when he raced Tyson Gay, looks like he still has some athleticism in those bones...check the vid (didn't know D. Howard and Shaq could run like that, impressive)

P.S. - I don't think Chris Johnson was running at full speed either

Spreadin the real: Joell Ortiz freestyle on Hot97

This is that hip hop that i love...when a mc gets on the mic and just rhymes...i want mainstream radio hip hop to get back to this (probably never will but oh well that's what the internet is for), where rhymes and skill simultaneously work with the beat (not where the beat solely carries the song)...Joell Ortiz goes in for bout 7 minutes, without a doubt he is one the illest artists out that most people have never heard of...download and peep it

Tip of the Week #13: Don't use the N-word

This conversation comes up every so often in casual conversations privately and publicly amongst mixed groups of people...here we go, the rule when it comes to using the N-word (nigga or nigger) is as simple as this: if you don't have melanin in your skin then you can't publicly (cuz i know people use it private all the time) use the N-word...don't try to figure out why black people or latin american people (puerto ricans especially) can use the word...or try to use the rationale that you should be able to use the word cuz Chris Rock says it on his standup specials or damn near every rapper says in on a song...you just can't say it

people with melanin can use the word (i'm speaking bout black people mainly) simply cuz we can....that's it no more no less...I liken the use of the N-word to I can talk about my mom but you damn shonuff (shout out to Shonuff from The Last Dragon cult classic) better not say not one derogatory statement about my mom, its just some shit you just are not allowed to do...this tip stems from Dr. Laura, a radio personality speaking about the use of the N-word...peep the audio clip

and remember just don't say it in public, you will avoid a lot of aggravation & criticism...

Spreadin the real: Classic NBA

Heres something just to get yall to reminisce when Marv Albert was on NBC, the refs didn't call technical fouls on hard fouls all the time, hand checking was allowed and the classic John Tesh NBA on NBC theme that precluded the NBA telecast...just look at this video from the '92 Christmas game between the Bulls and Knicks (when they were good and watchable, maybe this year they will entertaining with Stoudamire and Felton at the point)...classic ish

P.S. - can't wait for the '10 - '11 NBA season to start. Though i'm a NBA fan I don't think I've ever been this excited for the NBA like I'm am for the start of the NFL.
