Stuff of hilarity: WTF is wrong with Starbury?

I'm seriously concerned...Stephon Marbury has been crying while a dude puts is arm around him, eating vaseline and now dancing like a fairy to 'Barbie Girl'....is he coming out of the closet or something or is he going through a nervous breakdown...damn starbury i guess your demise started when you tattooed your logo on the side of your head (btw where are the gonna sell his apparel and shoes since Steve & Barry's went under. Or is the Starbury line gone forever?)...peep the vid

Spreadin the REAL real: Meth & Red on $55,000

I totally 1000% agree with these cats about Nas having to pay $55,000 to Kelis for child support...the system is fucked up when fathers must pay this type of money...i got mad just like Mef when I heard the news just like when my best friend got hit up for child support 3 years ago and he was taking care of his...Nas doesn't even make this type of cheese to fork out $55,00o a month...who did the judge think Nas was, Diddy or somethin?... damn Nas hold your head and yall peep the vid (i was bout to start Random Rant vol. 20 talking bout this child support shit)...

Random Rant vol. 19: F*&K Ups!

Its been a while since I ranted about some random stuff...I gotta a lot to spew out but this one topic I've gotta speak about...I'm still fairly young (27 for those not in the know) but i think I've gathered enough knowledge to know a lil' about what life is about and what ills it will throw at you...One thing I figured out is that some people are destined for some things and are born with natural gifts...For example, I think when LeBron James was born he was already shooting 7 ft jumpers with a 7 inch vertical...I mean straight out the womb is hoop game was stellar and better than a 6 year olds game...I also figured out that some people are naturally born, absolute, god blessed (or devil blessed how ever you want to classify the orgin of a fuck ups life) Fuck Ups!...

The definition of a Fuck Up is a person that will completely mess up any good thing or fuck up something that is 'unfuckupable' (something that can't be messed up)...you see this all the time in sports...there will be an athlete with the world in his hands and always ends up in jail, getting arrested, getting fined or finding himself in situations that puzzle the mind (like how long did he think he was gonna last hidin' in a trunk to evade the cops. Does Rae Carruth jog your memory?) ...

Lawrence Phillips is a classic fuck up... Phillips was a star running back for Nebraska in the Cornhuskers 90's dominance...He was a slight fuck up in college but when he got drafted by the Rams he let his 'fuckupedness' all out...He got arrested over and over & was givin chances over and over...when nobody from the NFL would pick him up again after his illustrious fuck ups, he went to another league and still was messing up....

I've come across plenty of people that have a little opportunity to do something meaningful with their time and manage to fuck it up...I knew people that received a new car and within 4 months, they wrecked in once, rebuilt the transmission and had work done on the engine...I mean how is that possible...or I knew someone who had a job at a restaurant and after a couple of months got fired...i really believe that no matter what opportunities a person is presented with, the talent they possess or how easy the task is, some people will royally fuck it up without question...

here are my list of all time fuck ups:

Lawrence Phillips - countless arrests

Ryan Leaf - just got arrested again this year of '09

Pacman Jones (or Adam Jones as he wants to be called now)

Plaxico Burress (tho he had no other mishaps, shooting urself in a club in NY is a Fuck Ups trait)

People who drop out of high school to do absolutely nothing, i mean nothing

(they don't even commit crimes to pass the time and get money, damn!)

People of the show "COPS"

George W. Bush (damn that's a cheap shot)

Jeff Conaway (was on 2 seasons of Celebrity Rehab, former Grease star)

...and countless others i'll name later

Stuff of hilarity: the iron high jump

Once again I'm back with another post of my broheim getting exploited by his roommate, TO Polk...this now makes the 4th video i've seen of him doin somethin retarded and hilarious...i don't have any more words, just peep it and chuckle at the hilarity...(What possessed them to even think of this? Did they see some old Olympics video from '92 and got inspired to perform some olympian tasks)

Innovations: Google Voice

I'm tellin you the innovations and software Google creates is simply amazing...the great thing about Google is that there software is FREE (really is absurd cuz they offer such great software)...they offer Google Maps on your mobile device (just as good as GPS but for free), Google Earth (incredible and scary at the same time. They take pics of your home!!! Scary ish), their incredible search engines (Google.com and blogsearch), blog services, email with huge storage space and now Google Voice...i'm just finding out about this even though i got a little insight from fellow blogger T.O. Polk (topolk.blogspot.com) about this innovation...

i'm not going to try and explain it just peep the link and learn...i wanna work for this company cuz they're growing and i heard the work environment was like a playground for adults...Google will take over the world afterwhile especially when they get this operating system working that's also probably going to be free (I-N-credible)...

With so many clothing lines out, i had to pick about 4 and just rock with those (Rocawear, Crooks & Castles, Undrcrwn and Levi for jeans, i would say my joint mARCandE but i've been slack and not printed a shirt out yet)...i dig Crooks & Castles' fisherman style bucket hat (shout out to EPMD)...i bought the black one from a store in Columbia, SC (i couldn't believe any store from my home state of SC carried any reputable streetwear lines but a store in the Sandhills shopping area carries it along with Sneaktip)...

Random Rant vol. 18: MJJ, singles, 50!

I have to add my two cents about the greatest entertainer/musician of the 20th century (and most likely the present 21st century) to add to the millions of blogposts, video tributes, song tributes and celebrity speeches...i remember when i was about 5 or 6 years old sleeping in a long gray t-shirt (prolly like size medium) with the words "Beat It" and MJ posed in large print...i know i wore it everynight until i eventually grew out of it...its been 4 days since he passed and I still can't believe Mike died at the age of 50...

Though he did some freaky things (bleach his skin, change is nose 80 times, hangin kids off balconies) he still had this aura about him that was genius and excellence...think about it, when MJ released a single on the radio in the 80's and early 90's (this is when radio had good songs on the air) did you really not like it...No, you always liked the song he released even if it wasn't your favorite...on every album he released since his first solo album, Off the Wall, he released at least 4 singles...that fact alone is insane...

i was looking on amazon.com just to look at the song titles from each album to see what was released as singles...if you look at the Thriller album, he released i think 7 singles from the 9 track album...that is ridiculous!!! (now you can barely get an artist to drop 2 good singles from a 17 track album) that's probably why its the highest selling album of all time...i also discovered that in the 80's when it released 10% of the American public owned the album...there will NEVER i mean never be another artist to sell albums and have an impact on the music industry like that...

i can go on and on about his album sales but i'll save you the trouble of reading stats...i'll end it by sayin, i moonwalked on wood floors with church socks on cuz of Mike and tried to lean forward like the Smooth Criminal cuz of Mike...all of his videos are legendary but Smooth Criminal was that joint (goes and downloads Moonwalker dvd or vhs from the 'net)...he will be missed and i still can't believe he died so soon like i couldn't believe Biggie died in '97...i guess all the greats die early (Bernie Mac, 2Pac, Big L, Big Pun, Jimi Hendrix, Jam Master Jay, Marvin Gaye, Pimp C [i know Pimp C is a stretch but he and Bun B were/are southern rap before it became nationally known])...

damn even Billy Mays died at the age of 50 (the OxiClean and infomercial guy)...what's really goin on

Innovations: 32 GB SD card

i remember when SD cards were retailing for 40 plus dollars and they only had like 128 MB to 512 MB of space... btw stores like CVS and Rite-Aid should be fined by the government for still selling SD cards (1GB or 2GB) for 80 DOLLARS...who in the world would buy that when you can go to wal-mart and get it for a fraction of that price or go to eBay and get it for 10 to 15 dollars...

anyway there's a SD card made for HD cameras and the macbook that has a crazy 32 GB of space...it amazes me how much info can be stored on small storage devices (an iPod classic has a minimal storage space of 120 GB, i need to upgrade cuz i still got the 30 GB 'Pod)...

Random Rant vol. 17 - A death creates life

First off let me start this rant off by saying THANK YOU Jay cuz somebody finally had the cojones to say stop all this autotune music making...This song by Jay-Z stated everything i thought was f'd up about the hip hop game right now...from dudes wearing slim fitting, nut sack huggin, form fitting jeans to rappers tryin to sing like T-Pain throughout the entire song to dudes just not actin like dudes no more...

When my brother told me about the song 2 weeks ago on a Saturday, i downloaded and seriously listened to the track 25 times in a week...everything about the track was ill, from the production by NO I.D. to Jay's precise and direct lyrics about what's fucked up about the game right now...hopefully since the God MC said that its the death of autotune it will truly be the death of autotune...Jay has this crazy effect on the hip hop culture where if he says somethin then the game changes....i.e. in '04 when he started to rock button downs instead of throwbacks then the jerseys went out of style...or "when he was drinkin Cristal when all yall bitches thought it was beer and shit" (line from 'Imaginary Players' on the In My Lifetime vol. 1 album circa '97) people then started to drink Cristal...or when he started to use the word 'swag' everybody started using the term and putting into their style (btw that term is so overused i officially stopped sayin it. Somebody should just kill that word, damn!)

The jiggaman is not the only artist speakin out against the "Moist Movement" (word to Tariq Nasheed- check out http://macklessonsradio.com/index/episode-192-the-anti-moist-movement to see what i'm talkin bout) ...my other fav artists the LOX (Sheek Louch, Styles P and Jadakiss for those not in the know) have been rappin about autotune and ringtone rappers & feminine dressin dudes for a minute, especially Styles P...for example of artists that support A.A.M.M. (Artists Against Moist Music) listen to L.E.G.A.C.Y.'s track called T.K.O. -http://www.zshare.net/audio/61148745b5c56e24/ ...listen to Sean Price's verse at the end especially...





Just to stress the point, I just don't even understand how dudes can rock "nut hugger" pants(shout out to Duane Martin in the flick Above the Rim)...how the fuck do they even piss in public without pullin their pants all the way to their knees like a 2 year old lad...as my brother says, these dudes wear too many colors and he said that 2 years ago before it got out of hand and super popular...i gotta agree and stress the point with "You niggas' jeans too tight/You colors too bright, your voice too light/I might wear black for a year straight..." - Jay-Z -D.O.A.

R.I.P. autotune for rappers (only Roger Troutman [RIP] and T-Pain should use it)...i don't like Ron Browz usin it (prolly the only way he could get his voice on a track), didn't like Kanye doin the entire album usin it (would have been a ill album if he rapped more cuz the beats are ill), Lil Wayne distorts is voice so much that i can't understand what the fuck he's sayin (like what is he sayin in the T-Pain cut "Can't Believe it", seriously one part of his verse it sounds like a robot's voice being slowed down on a old record player)...


and I don't understand why artists who can sing use autotune like R. Kelly...you are a legendary artist, stop following trends and create dope trends like you used to (can we please get another TP-2.com or Chocolate Factory like album. No more following whats trendy Kells, no more)...thanx and good nite

Random Rant vol. 16: Rihanna's in the top 10

First off i'm goin to start by sayin "GOOD LAWD RIHANNA SURPRISED THE PISS OUT OF ME" (yeah i'm in all caps to show how serious I am)...i know the pics of Rihanna have been released on the 'net for about a week and better now, so this post might be late to all you internet geeks (that includes me too)...i felt i had to let the pics marinate before i could comment on it...

When i saw the naked flicks i had the open mouth jaw drop like a looney tunes character (though the pic below is a Disney character)...

Rihanna is no doubt attractive but i didn't know that her body is "bangin like a benzi" (Listen to "Ice Cream" - Raekwon ft. Ghostface Killah, Cappadonna, Method Man to see where i get the line from) ...my gawd, where did that body come from cuz it is stellar!...the "cans" are superb, the thighs are spectacular, face is A+ and the "backyard" is incredible...those 7 pics that i got changed my mind about Rihanna from a cute R&B/Pop singer to a bangin female artist that is now in my top 10 (rivaling the body of Meagan Good, seriously)...

if you haven't seen the pics, just google it and find em (i would post em here but imma make you search for 'em)...i'm gonna stop talking cuz after while i'm goin to sound creepy and sad...so i'll leave with this- COTDAMN! RIHANNA IS TIGHT AS HECK!!! GOOD GOOBLY GOOP, THAT THANG IS JUICY (wow, i used a line from a horrible Project Pat song)!!!

Random Rant vol. 15 - Busta is longevity

Joe Budden put it best in a 15 plus minute song titled "Who" where he raps about who killed hip hop (ill great track that you hafta listen to, that was split into 3 parts cuz of the length of the track...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teQC0rKl884) when he said "a million Busta albums he still not mentioned with the G.O.A.T." at the 4:33 mark...Ol' regular Joe opened my eyes to the fact that, Damn! Busta is one of the few Hip Hop artists that is extremely lyrical, charasimatic and talented that has stood the test of time...

Let's look back...he started his career with L.O.N.S. (Leaders of the New School for those that don't know) and was clearly the stand out...you could tell he was when he was on Yo! MTV Raps with LONS and he spit a few lines that showed his stand-out star ability (btw the group incredibly broke up during the taping of the episode)...he launched his solo career in '96 with "Woo Hah, got you all in check" single off "The Coming" LP....it was a smash single and every since then he's dropped a solid album for 12 plus years...

yea he did have a couple of stints where he didn't drop a album for a 3 to 4 years ('It ain't safe no more'-2002 to 'Big Bang'-2006 to 'Back on my B.S.'-May 2009) but during those breaks he was always featured on other people's joints...there have been many summers where i remembered he was on everybody's song...everytime he's on the track he damn near steals the song from the original artists (i.e. A Tribe called Quest ft. LONS - Scenario (remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFZLq6R-ZtM&feature=related)

...also even though he may say some crazy stuff (especially earlier in his solo career) his lyrical skills are second to none...then to add his voice sounds like nothin you've ever heard...hell, his laugh is even crazy (Busta's and Jadakiss' laugh is weird, unique and funny) ...on the visual side of the spectrum, his videos are quite entertaining (unlike the normal ass shakin [tho i love ass shakin], jewerly flossin, gangsta braggin facade rap videos) check the videos 'What's it gonna be', 'Woo Hah! got you all in check', 'Woo Hah!' rmx with ODB, 'Put your hands where my eyes can see' (still can do the dances in the vid) & 'Gimme some more'

so go and find the albums and listen to the great B. Rhymes...you will be entertained...i'll leave you with a discography and his latest mixtape that dropped May 5th before his new LP "Back on my B.S."

The Coming (1996)
When Disaster Strikes (1997)
E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front (1998)
Anarchy (2000)

Random Rant vol. 14: Twattin' on Twitter

WARNING: I'm going to sound like an old fart complaining about new stuff. You've been warned.

It took me a long time to finally get around to creating a profile on facebook and it took me just as long to create a myspace page...the only reason why i created a facebook profile was to use the movie queue application for blockbuster since the blockbuster.com movie queue was screwed up on my account...but since i did create one i've been on the wretched site everyday reading and confirming friend requests (cotdamn Facebook and their easy way of connecting of old high school and college friends)...

i got suckered into those social networking sites but i refuse to get pulled in by the newest internet social networking craze that is retardly (not sure if that's even a word) named Twitter...in my honest opinion i do not see the point of telling people every minute of the day what i'm doing...Hell, on my status section on facebook i don't even say what i'm feeling or doing...i just quote an ill hip hop verse on it and plug this blog...

Why in the hell would i wanna tell you "3 minutes ago i sat in my chair and watched an episode of Andy Griffith" then "at 9 o'clock i went upstairs to take a piss and it was stinky, lol"...that shit just seems so trivial to tell total strangers what i'm doing...i honestly don't think people give a rat's cooter (country reference like saying rat's ass but in this instance i'm sayin Rat's Vagina) what i'm doin...i don't think i'm that special that people wanna kno my every move...

now i have people that i'm real cool with that twit (or twat or have twatted or have twitted...whatever the hell you call past tense twittering) on twitter and that's cool but i can't subject myself to tell what i feel and/or doing...shit, i don't like expressing my emotions in person to close relatives or friends so i kno i'm not gonna tell random strangers across the world...plus i don't need anything else to get addicted to because i'm already addicted to my blackberry that has a myspace and facebook app and texting and the internet and google maps (that app is incredible, forget paying 10 a month for GPS service)....

with all that said, check my blog in 2 weeks and i'll give you my twitter name....Damn this mindless technology!!!!

Random Rant vol.13: 1st black Disney princess

1st we get the first black president in '09, now we get the 1st black princess in '09...Its a long time coming but Disney finally made a black princess for major animated movie, "The Princess and The Frog"...for some reason i was thinkin to myself "Why don't they have a black princess?"...i guess i thought about it because of all the Princess series memorabilla Disney has been putting as of late....i noticed they had a white, native american, indian and asian princesses but where was the black one...

i like the disney movies mainly because of the animation and the talent of the artists but sometimes i like the movies itself (fav. Disney movies- Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo)...change takes a while to happen but i'm just glad it finally happened...


when i painted a mural at my cousin's house for his daughter, he wanted a black princess...so i painted a black cinderella but now its good to know that if someone asked me to paint a black princess i can actually paint an actual Disney black princess, named Tiana...Change is good...

Nike air penny 1/2 Fall lineup

I'm not a fan of hybrids at all but Nike really did it right the Nike Air 1/2 cent...combining all the design elements of Penny 1 - 4 and Foamposite, Nike created an instant classic shoe to add the already legendary Penny line....i slipped up and dropped 2 bills on the first colorway (that's not shown here) in february 09...the shoe is ill and the comfort is ridiculous ...its the best (no exaggeration) feeling shoe i've ever worn....

these are the next colorways for the 1/2 cent....i think i might get the black/altitude green (since i couldn't get the altitude AJ XIII's) and the black on black joints...

Random Rant vol. 12: cdplayer got jacked!!!

WARNING: I WILL BE LACING THIS BLOG WITH FOUL, OBSCENE LANGUAGE

If you read this blog you may kno that i don't like to talk about my personal experiences (i just don't want the world to know my all my business)...but i have let blog readers into a lil bit of my life...i ranted on how i got some sneakers shipped to me and they got jacked off of my stoop (even though i still think USPS just didn't deliver my kicks to the right address)...now not less than an hour ago i discovered i got muhfckn' car got broken into and my cdplayer got jacked while i was at work, in my job's parkin lot....

its only a few things that really piss me off and aggravate me, one of em is stealing shit...i absolutely hate when i get shit stolen from me....lie to me, cheat on me, talk shit about me just don't fuckin steal from me....i fuckin hate that shit...

me and my bro asked my pops one summer afternoon- what would you do if your vintage car got stolen and the judge asked you what the punishment should be once we caught him?...my pops is a no nonsense and basic guy and i'm sure he was not completely serious with this answer but he was pretty convincing...he said the penalty should be "DEATH"...now i know that sounds archaic and extremely drastic but that's how he is (and i like the way he is)...

now i see why he said that because i worked hard to pay for my paint job on the car (done less than 7 mnths ago) and the new cdplayer i just purchased less than 2 months ago...then to have some fucka come and 1) damage the body of my card and 2)steal the cdplayer in 2 minutes aggravates the piss out of me...so to end this tirade i'll say fuck the bastards who stole my shit, fuck the prick who's gonna buy my cdplayer, fuck their car, fuck their mama for birthin them and fuck the horse (in this case their dark colored SUV) they rode in on....COTDAMNIT!!!

Innovations: Sixth Sense = Minority Report

You remember when Tom Cruise was in the flick Minority Report....he was using a computer and controlling it with his hands...placing windows, applications and pictures anywhere on the screen with his hands...well that technology is coming sooner than you think...since Gizmodo.com explains the technology well, i'm just goin to post their article...read and be amazed.....

I can't really describe Sixth Sense in a line. Sure, it is a system that projects information about what surrounds you over objects' surfaces, but it's also much more. You just have to watch it:
(If you have the time, you can go through the whole video and Pattie Maes' explanation. If not, go to minute 3:10, where the cool demonstrations begin. There, Pranav Mistry—the MIT student who has implemented Sixth Sense—shows how it works)

Basically, Sixth Sense is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphone—which acts as the computer and your connection to the Cloud, all the information stored on the web. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures, like in the infamous Minority Report.
However, instead of requiring you to be in front of a big screen like Tom Cruise, Sixth Sense can do its magic—and a lot more—everywhere, even while you are jumping hysteric over Oprah's sofa.

The camera recognizes objects around you instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on any surface, including the object itself or your hand. Then, you can access or manipulate the information using your fingers. Need to make a call? Extend your hand on front of the projector and numbers will appear for you to click. Need to know the time? Draw a circle on your wrist and a watch will appear. Want to take a photo? Just make a square with your fingers, highlighting what you want to frame, and the system will make the photo—which you can later organize with the others using your own hands over the air.

But those are just novelty applications. The true power of Sixth Sense lies on its potential to connect the real world with the Internet, and overlaying the information on the world itself. Imagine you are at the supermarket, thinking about what brand of soap is better. Or maybe what wine you should get for tonight's dinner. Just look at objects, hold them on your hands, and Sixth Sense will show you if it's good or bad, or if it fits your preferences or not.
Now take this to every aspect of your everyday life. You can be in a taxi going to the airport, and just by taking out your boarding pass, Sixth Sense will grab real time information about your flight and display it over the ticket. You won't need to do any action. Just hold it in front of your and it will work.

The key here is that Sixth Sense recognizes the objects around you, displaying information automatically and letting you access it in any way you want, in the simplest way possible.
Clearly, this has the potential of becoming the ultimate "transparent" user interface for accessing information about everything around us. If they can get rid of the colored finger caps and it ever goes beyond the initial development phase, that is. But as it is now, it may change the way we interact with the real world and truly give everyone complete awareness of the environment around us.

Random rant vol.10: The Jordan Rules-G.O.A.T.

I was born in the 80's so I blessed by the basketball gods to allow me view the real "Jesus Shuttlesworth" of the NBA, Michael Jeffrey Jordan in his prime...this rant stems from people across the internet and in real life conversation saying the Kobe "Bean" Bryant is equal or better than Jordan...now don't get me wrong, Kobe is unquestionably the best in the game right now (kinda pains me to say that cuz i'm not a Laker or Kobe fan)...his athletic ability, scoring tenacity and ferocity towards the game are 2nd to none...but lets get serious and stop the comparisons to the "jumpman logo"...

now my facts to support my absolutely truthful claim are 1) Jordan lead his Bulls teams to 6 titles...i think it would have been 8 straight if he didn't retire and try his hand a baseball...2)he dropped 30.7 ppg in an illustrious career against ridiculous defenses...now lets elaborate on this a little...

the defenses in the 80s and 90s were "playground" like...there was legal hand checking on the perimeter, triple team defenses that mauled you when you stepped in the paint and no one got ejected or fined for very aggressive playoff-type fouls...Jordan even had a specific defense geared specifically for him...this defense was implemented by the Detroit "Bad Boys" Pistons in the 80's, it was called the Jordan Rules...basically it was a defense that was designed to curb the scoring from Jordan by beating the shit out of him for 4 qtrs...he faced this destroying defense in the playoffs for 4 consecutive seasons finally beating the Pistons in 91 on their way to the Bulls 1st title...i'm surprised he played 18+ seasons after the thrashing he got for 14 seasons (the NBA started changed the rules in the latter part of his career i.e. no hand checking, no more "knock your head off fouls", quicker whistles) ...check the video....

and 3) his impact on not only basketball but hip hop, fashion and just all around life... to this very day the Jordan sneakers still have kids that didn't see one of his games going to footlocker buying his kicks...i'm in my late 20's and i still pay top dollar for Jordan's the he rocked in yesteryears...before Jordan, the shorts were crazy small and downright disgusting that grown men rocked "nuthuggers" for shorts....Jordan brought baggier shorts to the NBA and when he was in his first dunk contest he rocked a gold rope chain with the banned black/red Air Jordan I kicks (the look still looks "cold" to this day)...

so stop the arguments!... Jordan will never be surpassed just like there will never be another Muhammad Ali or Tiger Woods...they are once in a lifetime, one of a kind athletes

Random rant vol. 9: Opinions are like a@$holes

...everybody's got em....

In this day in age where everyone's opinion and view on subjects can be viewed for everyone to see, people are under the impression that they are experts...i read only two message boards everyday (itsbx.com -hip hop board and niketalk.com - sneaker board) and that's enough for me...on itsbx i read these "reviews" on hip hop albums and everyone throws their two cents in...now don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their opinion but i don't like that everyone thinks that they're expert analysts...(even on niketalk people complain about a sneaker's minor and complete insignificant design flaws)

my question is how can you have a opinion on an album after 1 full listen...i'll read some comments on album like the production needs to be better, its not mastered correctly, rapper "so and so" needs to rap better like last album...damn, just listen to the album and say if you like it or not...now if an album genuinely sucks then say it stinks... but when i see people talkin bout the album is not that good when it clearly it is because of minor flaws, that's annoying....

the same thing applies to movies...people may even be more critical on movies...message board dorks get on the keyboard and peck all types of foolishness complaining about lighting, audio, the key grip, the assistant to the assistant director's role in the movie and other ridiculousness (i know that's not a word but it fits for this rant)...it reminds me of the Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back flick where little 12-year olds bitch about the Bluntman and Chronic film (and that was a movie i liked that was clearly silly and sophmoric, but funny)...if you like the movie say you like it and stop nick-picking retarded, insignificant factors of the movie...

by the way the movie Belly that Hype Williams directed back in '98 sucked ass...i mean the lighting was all dark, the cinematography was stupid, the writing was lackluster and the acting was piss poor....What!? don't judge me


as the days of my life stack up, I notice i'm turning more and more into the crabby complaining old man on the stoop...LOL

Innovations: Throwback toy-Super Soaker 50

Its amazin that the first Super Soaker came out 20 years ago in '89 (this is showing my age)...I remember when my big cousin Late (aka Slab Judah for those in the know) had this exact one...i jumped on board the Super Soaker phenomenon when the 100 and 150 came out (I even bought the big joint that looked like a bazooka that weighed damn near 20 pounds filled with water. I paid 40 dollars for a "F'n" watergun, Wow!)

the 40 dollar gun, the CPS 2000

...those water gun fights were good times (saying 'good times' in the voice of the character Alec Baldwin played in "Along came Polly")...Hasbro is bringing it back for us young kids at heart as a 20th anniversary edition...

Also since we're in February, Black history month, i'll drop some history on yall....the Super Soaker was invented by a black rocket scientist named Lonnie Johnson...the Super Soaker has sold a billion dollars worth of Super Soakers since it hit the market, a billion with a B...check the video....

oh yeah he also kcuf'd over - B5 (another attempt at the boy/girl band genre, hideous again) and New Edition (how did he mess that one up miserably. At least he gave someone a job after he screwed the group over "Michael Bivins in Making the Band 4")...now he has the nerve to say DJ's messed up hip-hop, nah negro you had a hand in it too...a big Andre the Giant hand...

Random rant pt. 8: Bad Boy aka Rapin U Records

P. Diddy, Diddy, Puff, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Poppa Diddy, Pop Puff Diddy Doo- whatever he wants to call himself is one of the "shot callers" (90's hip hop slang reference) in the entertainment business today. Notice I didn't say music industry. In the 90's Bad Boy was one of the premier labels in hip hop and really the music industry. But one thing that rang true was the departure of bad boy artists leaving left and right. Case in point, the L.O.X. is one my fav groups of yesteryear and today (can't wait for the Jadakiss - Kiss My Ass album oh I mean The Last Kiss album)...they got in a heated struggle with Diddy years ago because they wanted out of the contract...why would they want out of the label when the dropped a platinum album (Money, Power, Respect), the cash should have been rollin in...well like most artists in the music biz they get paid pennies and Bad Boy was no different when it came to paying their artists...

Made clear from the comical interlude on The L.O.X's 2000 sophmore album (damn its almost been 10 years since they came out with a group album) Rapin U Records, the "fictious" label doesn't pay their artists shit...clearly it was a jab at Bad Boy records for not paying artists what they righfully deserved...this has to be true because the L.O.X. aren't the only people complaining about how they were treated (sidebar: the L.O.X. just received their rightful publishing for the Money, Power, Respect album just a few years ago)....mismanagement, low pay or little or no promotion seems to be Puff's M.O....lets look at the gaggle of artists that left the label or are on the backburner for some reason or another....

Babs from Da Band
Chopper aka Young City from Da Band
Ness from Da Band
Da Band
Black Rob (locked up again for robbery, if he was paid he prolly wouldn't hafta to do that)
Cheri Dennis
Mario Winans
Cassie (needs to just model she dropped 2 songs in 08 and heard no buzz and Wayne was on 1)
Mark Curry
Craig Mack (he might still be signed, i know he's disgruntled if he is tho)
Carl Thomas
Dream (puff's attempt on a girl group during the girl/boy band craze, hideous)
Danity Kane
Faith Evans
Fuzzbubble (don't know who the F this is)
G. Dep
Joe Hooker
Loon
Mase
The Notorious B.I.G. (R.I.P., I heard he was gonna leave the label eventually before he died)
112
Shyne (locked up 10 years, Diddy didn't help him during the trial at all)
Tonya Blount
Total
8Ball and MJG (how did he fuck that up, the already got a fan base and they still didn't sell)
Elephant Man (may still be on the label, but i know he's disgruntled too)
Day26 (soon to be gone)
and prolly every body who was on the album liner on the "Saga continues..."album

Mark Curry who was on the label is now speaking out against P. Diddy and how he was treated...




I don't think Puffy cares that much about the music anymore because it just doesn't generate as much cash as Ciroc, Bad Boy Films (Mtv shows), his acting, Sean John clothing label...so with that in mind he just rapes artist for as much money as he can get out of em

Now, this is only a rant and public service announcement to anyone who's thinkin bout signing as a music artist to Bad Boy- don't sign cuz if you do "you can't escape the rape...they'll be rapin' u rapin, u rapin, u" (listen to track 10 of the "We are the streets" album to get a clearer picture)

Random Rant pt. 7: Jordan got jacked

On this blog i don't like to get personal and talk about what I ate, who I saw and when i'm going to the mall...but right now i'm bout to vent and talk about what happened to me (put the kids to bed cuz i'm bout to let loose with profane language)...

i ordered the above AJ I high straps blk/red/wht kicks from ebay about 3 weeks ago...i paid a hard earned 170 plus dollars for these limited gems...i got em shipped to my crib and I tracked em everyday...the kicks were sent from GA and i'm in Charlotte, NC so I knew that with them being USPS priority mail they will get here in 2 days...the seller sent them Monday and they got here Wednesday bout 11 am... I was at work and saw they were delivered and went home during lunch time (12 noon) to pick em up from my front porch...

to my disappointment not a cotdamn package was on the step...so i figured it might be delivered the next day...i did the same thing and nothing was on the muhfukin' porch....i contacted USPS for a solid 2 weeks and they said "we did deliver it"...So logically the only thing that could have happened is someone stole my cotdamn 170 dollar muhfuckin Jordans from off the porch as soon as they were delivered...so fuck USPS for delivering it and leaving it (even tho that's what they were supposed to do since no signature was required), fuck the person for stealing my kicks (dick in the booty ass bastards), fuck the seller for selling the Jordans to me (no logical reason why I say fuck you to him cuz he did nothin wrong) and damn me for not gettin insurance on the package (hindsight is 20/20)...I pissed away 170 plus dollars, COTDAMNIT!!!...i'm done
