Random Rant vol. 43: I don't have any lottery luck

I'm not a unlucky or a person that something always bad happens to me but I am unlucky as all get out when it comes to winning...When I say winning I mean I never win a radio call-in contest, a raffle drawing, a sweepstakes, a luck of the draw game of chance or the lottery...I've been playing the $1 scratch offs sparingly for about 4 months...sometimes I'll buy 4 of the same $1 scratch offs or I'll just buy 1 $1 scratch off at a time...I'm tellin you know lie, in about the 25 times I've played the scratch offs I've only won three times (and they were $1 amounts)..

I've known people who have played 3 $1 scratch offs at one time and won on every ticket (even if its just $1 wins)...I've known people who've won $40 and $50 from scratch offs when I can't win a stinkin' $3 from a ticket...So this is what I'm going to do, I'm going to document every day my winnings from buying 2 of the same type of ticket from the same store for a month...just by the law of averages I should win something (but I bet I won't win SQUAT)...my first buys will be this Friday (3.30.12) and I'll document what happens...

signing off, the unfortunate lottery scratch off loser

Spreadin the real: Doug Williams 1st and still only (BHM)

January 31, 1988 was the date that is etched in black history sports...I can still remember vividly my parents and lil bro (who is actually larger in stature now) watched Super Bowl XXII where my parents were clearly rooting for the Washington Redskins to win against the heavily favored Denver Broncos with HOF QB John Elway...now my parents didn't and still don't have a NFL team (maybe my dad likes the Panthers because we live in the Carolinas [parents in SC, me and my bro in NC]) but that night they were all out Redskins fans...the reason for the loyalty was because Doug Williams, the 1st black starting quarterback in the Super Bowl was playing...

So for black history month I want to recognize Doug Williams, the 1st black starting quarterback to play in the Super Bowl (only 2 have played since, Donovan McNabb and Steve McNair) and the only black quarterback to win a Super Bowl...Doug Williams went to Grambling State University and played for the Tampa Bay Bucs & Washington Redskins in the NFL...during Super Bowl XXII he was the first QB to pass for 4 TDs in one quarter and a half...salute to Doug Williams #17 one the 70 greatest Redskins of all time (kinda gnashing my teeth to say that because I'm a Cowboys fan)

Random Rant vol. 42: My hip hop maturation

Its 2012 and hip hop has been around for a solid 30+ years...we've seen the upstart of the genre with Marley Marl, Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5 and Kurtis Blow to the golden era of the 80's...the 90's ushered in the 'gangsta rap' era along with the conscience rap emergence...the 90's also had the emergence of the flash, braggadocio rap of Bad Boy and also had the birth of hip hop legends Nas, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G...the late 90's and 2000's showed the world that hip hop was incredibly marketable and young black entrepreneurs could become millionaires (shout out to Roc-A-Fella Records, Bad Boy Records, No Limit and Cash Money records)...

Now that I've given you a brief history on hip hop let me get into my maturation of hip hop focusing on Jay-Z...before Jay-Z showed the world that hip hop is not only a young man's game, it was thought that once you hit the age of about 35 that rappers should not create anymore new music...that thought almost seemed to make sense because some of your favorite rappers of yesteryear just didn't produce quality music when they hit their mid 30's...that way of thinking about hip hop is dead!

Eminem was 37 and released a very solid album in 2010 "Recovery" , Jay-Z, 40+ yrs old released a banger album "Watch the Throne" with KanYe in 2011 that had 2 smash hits (Niggas in Paris and Otis) and Nas is still producing great music whether is solo or collab projects...When you see Jay-Z performing at venues like the President's inauguraral ball, Carnegie Hall and becoming the first hip hop act at the Glasonbury Festival, you recognize that hip hop is a well respected genre that will have our favorite artists touring and selling out large venues like The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith til they are in their 60s (damn that's a helleva run-on sentence)...

I'm just glad to see real hip hop and talent will live forever with respect like the other genres...thanx Hov for showing the world that 'you will respect me simple as that' (line from 'The Ruler's Back' from Blueprint album. I probably shouldn't have said that because I just ruined the aura of my creative writing.). Hip Hop forever!
