What's Playing in the Ipod: Lupe Fiasco

HEAT!!!!! One of my favorite emcee/lyricist in the rap game LUPE FIASCO. Here is his "Say Something" Freestyle. He bodied this beat. His wordplay is phenomenal, its just so much i can go on and on. I hope he never retires. Here's some flavors(shout out to MR Chi CITY) for you:
"Try to stop what’s going on,
you’ll see the back of my hand like the tops of palms,
I’m balling like the tops of pawns,
circle of influence getting bigger like the ripples on the tops of ponds
Short footed and War headed like the tops of bombs,
Domino-in n*gg*’s, delivery is Papa Johns, Little Ceaser‘s, uh,
burning down your Pizza Hut…
Plaque collection building ’cause, I don’t brush my teeth enough,
yeah, Crack is wack and reefer sucks, you might think this deep as fuck
but this like my weaker stuff,
they ask “Is this his day-to-day ’cause this is like a week to us"

Sometimes i be feeling like i got to break shit down for people who don't understand Lupe for what he is worth. I be telling people just listen to his album but sometimes thats not enough im bout to start printing out lyrics for those who are still not buying. I've been down since the first mixtape i heard of Lupe's mixtape "Fahrenheit 1/15 Part II: Revenge of the Nerds", back in 2006. After hearing that i went back and got the 1st mixtape and from then on i was sold. Its tough that my boy can't go Platinum. Ok i definitely just let out some steam with this post. lol smh im out....Water...

Beanie Sigel Opens Up

Just hear the man out first. This case is way different than cases you have seen in the past from other artist in the past. I feel for Beanie Sigel he really sound hurt. I'm a big Hov fan and i had to send this to some of my peoples. What do ya think?? Beans is a real dude. I know the first thing you say is why didn't he call Hov and talk things out. I really believe that he tried to call Hov but who is to say that Hov pick up?? As a fan im not choosing sides but it goes to show you how the industry is. I can only hope that these two link back up. here is the track that Beans made to express his frustrations.

Ladies Listen UP!! I Got ya Fellas lol

I ran across this article as soon as i got on the computer and Man ol Man did this spark some much needed energy out of me. lol the article is about relationships and the 14 mistakes women make that they wish they didn't. I took out some that were really good. Disclaimer: The ones i choosed may not be associated with me and my past relationships but it is from relationships that i have viewed or heard about. Here some of the ones that got me saying AMEN:

1. Thinking we'll never get over him. We will. Two months and several powdered donuts later... we'll feel better.(Pause)
B's Take: This is the truth and is one of the reasons as a man you can't settle we got to keep pushing the envelope in the relationship, the last thing you want is for her best friend all in her ear telling her "You know you can do better than him. or There's better fish out in the sea."


2. Spying. Hacking into email or phones looking for suspicious messages and then yelling at him for the "k thnx bye" text he sent to his female coworker two months ago.
B's take: definite no no, 9 out 10 times you will find what you are looking for. If you dont find anything and are found running thru stuff den who wears the DUNCE CAP??? YOU!!!

5. Expecting too much. Putting so much energy into the idea of a fairy-tale romance that we're disappointed with anything less. B's take: I would hope we all are at the stage where we know theres no such thing as a perfect relationship. right??

10. Using the silent treatment. Our partners can't read our minds; he won't know what's wrong unless we sack up and tell him. B's take: AMEN AMEN HALLELUJAH!! I mean this is for guys and girls though. I know im guilty of it but forreal thats like trying to complete a test with no pen/pencil. You know you know the answers to the problem but you never gonna get credit for it unless you put it down. The teacher can't tell you know it if you handing in a blank test.

12. Standing alone. Thinking that depending on someone else is a weakness. Leaning on someone else sometimes is the sign of a healthy relationship.
B's take: See Beyonce set everyone back with her songs about independence. Imma end it right there. lol

13. Over-analyzing. There's analysis and then there's over-analysis. Wondering why the fiance didn't call once during his bachelor weekend in Vegas? A legitimate case for analysis. Wondering why he only called twice and not three times during a guys' night out? Not so much.
B's Take: This is the #1 relationship killer because it leads to trust issues. Fellas check it at the door if ya lady is on that Over-analyzing most times she just dont trust you. I seen it on MTV True Life so trust me on this one. lol

I know i went Doctor B on ya with this post but it was a very good article i feel it hit a lot of mistakes right on the head.

Wal-Mart Starts Selling Caskets and Urns Online

What you think of this?? Some may say Wal-Mart is just staying in front of the curve or are they up to they "Monopolizing ways" again. I choose the latter option but thats just me. I told my mom about Wal-Mart selling caskets online now and her first response is "im going to buy one for everybody in the family!" Its funny but if she is thinking that, i can just imagine everybody else in America. This move may potentially hurt the casket game though. Casket prices are crazy expensive. Take a look at it in a business way, if Wal-mart becomes successful with the selling online it would force the casket business to lower prices to compete with Wal-Mart. We may be looking at the greatest business decision right here. By the time im ready to call it quits in this world my casket might be in the range of $400 or even less. Can you picture that??? It makes you wonder what is next for wal-mart?? I hope its cars, i would be the first in line for a Wal-Mart influence price for a Black Range Rover in the future. LOL here is the article:Wal-Mart Starts Selling Caskets, Urns Online - ABC News

BET Cyphers: Best Part of the BET Awards

The one above was by far my favorite one but that was a classic one. Watching the ciphers from this year's Ciphers i got to say Nikki Minaj held her shit down. She flamed everybody but Joe Buddens, he clearly cleaned up that whole cipher. I know you caught the Hov shot he threw at the end. "Im a student of the game, not a teacher's pet!!" I would love for these two to battle real talk. Most would say Hov would thrash Buddens but i think they both would have equal research to flame each other. But back to Nikki Minaj she was showing me signs of Lil Wayne with her delivery but that comes from being in the studio with Weezy prolly. "Mac n Cheese 6, fried chicken the guts/ and im killing these b*tchs Mike Vick it up" Thats tough right there She got mad bars but the Mike Vick bars was tough and the crowd went crazy lol.

I respect all 3 emcee's but Eminem cleaned this cypher up real good. Black thought came in 2nd and Mos 3rd. I really cant rock with Mos Def something is either wrong wit me or something is not clicking wit me and Mos Def. I still respect him and his work. Umi Say is my shit hahah. Em said"When I bring the drama, use to bomb you like Sadam/ but now that imma a lil calmer/ Im a f*ckin cross from Osama, Dahmer, Obama, Dalai lama/" Thats tough right there.

Yankees in the World Series...Lets Gooo

Game 1 is of course tonight and rumor has it that Hov and Alicia Keys will not perform in game 1 as planned. Hov has obligations to be at a concert in Ohio. He was gonna do some Millionaire ish and perform at game 1 and hop on a jet and get to his concert on time. But due to the real crappy weather the tri-state is dealing with that might not go down. He said that he will perform though not game 1 but i think game 2 but im not sure. Oh well the show must go on. My favorite baseball team is back where we like to call home hahah the World Series. What better way to win the World Series by dethroning last year's World Series winners the Philadelphia Philly's. CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee takes the mound today for their squads. These two were once on the same Cleveland Indian team that were one game away of defeating the Boston Red Sox back in 2007. I really can't wait for this game. I got to be the worst Yankee fan. I never really watch baseball unless its the playoffs. Last year was the first year i would watch baseball games and that was because i was playing Fantasy Baseball. I can definitely say though i've have watched every World Series that they were in since 1995. Tune in and for the Mets fans out there I know this World Series is gonna hurt more especially with Pedro Martinez pitching.

Crazy Fact: If you divide A-Rod's $32 million salary by the number of games he played(124)A-Rod was paid roughly $258,000 each time he put on pinstripes in 2009. thats a crazy game check real talk.

Where being Fat may Save a Life

I ran across this story and i had to keep reading on. Its a very curious case here. Let me make a long story short, pretty much a Father-in Law is accused of killing his daughter's husband. Supposedly they had beef. What the father in law defense is that he was pretty much way too fat to have committed the crime. At the time of the murder he weighed in at 285lbs and was in such bad physical shape that couldn't have pulled off the shooting or the fast getaway the killer made. There was a flight of steps that he had to run up and down. I like stories like this because it taps into the CSI/ criminal lawyer that is in me. The Son in law was on the phone with his girlfriend(divorced the father in law daughter) and the girlfriend called the cops ASAP after she heard the Son-in-Law scream. Cops arrived within minutes.(white neighborhood..lol..hey its true) So the defense attorney says that the father in law could not have been the murderer and killed the man and clean up the scene and got out of the scene within minutes before the police came. Its a crazy court case but who is to say he didn't have an accomplice with him. Let's just say that he had a friend with him who did all the work for him and the fat guy was just there to point him out. its a thought.

Def Jam Hip Hop Honors Spoof

When i tell you this guy Affion Crockett is the King of Spoofs it really doesn't get no better than this guy. If you watched the Hip Hop Honors for Def Jam a couple days ago, they would show segments with Russell Simmons and other original staff members relieving the past. There was one segment that really caught my attention, because Russell was playing with his shoe and im like whats good with this guy. Affion is a clown for this. Check it out

This is Tough!!!

After watching this I really got to take back all the Flattop jokes, you think he was stressing over all them wig rumors?? This is a real nice clip. Keep the Faith people.

Random: Umm sorry but its too funny seeing somebody cry and talk at the same time. I respect Steve Harvey but that shit funny. Its funny whenever anybody does it, not just Stevey Harvey.

Lil Wayne to do a Year in Jail

Well the Hip Hop Police never seems satisfied. Now it strikes again with Weezy pleaded guilty to illegal gun possesion. He avoided a january trial where he would face up to 3 years if he was found guilty. Here's my opinion on this: I don't like how the law tries to categorize these celebrity like they are just another citizen. These celebs don't live a normal lifestyle like everybody else, its a lot of normal stuff that gets taken away with their celebrity status. I don't blame them for carrying handguns on them because as rapper's your gangsta card is on the line with every public appearance. They hire these big ol bodyguards to walk around with but they know that these big bodies can't stop bullets. I really want to know what the process is of registering your handgun in all 50 states. The gun Weezy had was registered in Mississippi, but not in New york where it was on his tour bus. It's a dillema that really bothers me, something has to give with the Hip Hop Police. Thats why Hov hired Ninja to protect him and Beyonce. LOL

What's Playing in the iPod: K'Jon

This song "On the Ocean "is so uplifting. I thought it was Charlie Wilson singing the whole time. It gives off such an old school vibe to me. I think the VH-1 Soul Cities Show w/ Nelson George embedded the old school vibe in my mind. Soul Cities make you want to drop everything you doing and go to whatever city they featuring. i didn't know much about K'jon, but I did my research and he is a Detroit native singer/songwriter. He has worked with superstars like Ludacris, Ginuwine, Ne-Yo, T-Pain, and super-producers Cool & Dre and others. Look out for him. he got a hit with this track.

Paranormal Acitivity Review

So I went out this weekend and watched Paranormal Activity with some of my friends. I was hearing mixed reviews and watching the movie i could see why. I felt like this was going the route Cloverfield went. You know the weird documentary you wonder how the camera is always rolling when you think if that was you that you woulda dropped the camera and bounced if you were the cameraman. With Paranormal Acitivity in the beggining it was real weak, I guess from anticipation everybody felt that there was gonna be a scary part in every scene. The director was just setting up everything for us though. As the movie goes on it gets real crazy and (as much as I dislike using the word but in fact)scary. I yelled(real men never scream lol) about a good 9 times and jumped out of my seat at the end. I would reccommend everybody to go out and see it. When i got home from the movie, i was paranoid around my own house. I also was hesitant to look up if the movie was in fact based of true events. Anyway go out to the MOVIE THEATERS and watch this movie, you will be cheating yourself if you get this on bootleg.

Nice Illusions

I found this on Yahoo, and couldn't believe how it work as soon i looked at it. Check it out!! Don;t look too long though, i dont want you to spill your breakfast on your keyboard.

Tom Brady is a Beast

Let me start off by stating that for most Quarterbacks playing in the snow can cause a lot of difficulties. The Football becomes slippery, the snow messes up your footing when you go to the throw ball, and even your vision is altered from the snow coming down. Tom Brady is not like most quarterbacks. In the second quarter of the Patriots vs Titans game, Brady reeled off 5 touchdown passes. Most quarterback can't get to that amount in a whole game, matter a fact its not too many quarterbacks who have tossed 5 Touchdown passes in one game in their entire career. Just an amazing feat to accomplish in my opinion.

Guess Who Is Back

Its H-Town...Yeah the fellas that may have been the reason you were conceived. Yeah the fellas who brought you the Classic Knockin the Boots track, they are back and they are knockin your heels off with this track. They lost their lead singer Dino who was killed in a car accident back in 2003. They had been planning a comeback before but the death of Dino put those plans on pause. Well now they bring us this track featuring Jodeci. Had this track dropped back in the late 90's it may have cause a stir. This may be received well from the more mature crowd. I like the track tho even with all the negativity coming from the Jodeci camp. I seen them K-Ci and Jojo live at the Apollo and it was prolly the most comical performance I have ever seen live.

Richard Heene found a Storm He was not looking For

I was watching the coverage of this and I couldn't help but think that kid will be on every talk show when he lands. I started watching when the 6 yr old boy was up at about 11.000 ft. The boy and his family was featured on Wife Swap, his father Richard Keene is known to be a mad scientist. Update as I am writing this, the kid was not found in the balloon. WHAT THE??? Where did he go??? WOW I will be back with an update.

*UPDATE: I knew he would be found alive, little Falcon was found in a box in the attic of there garage. Its a great ending something like a Chris Angel Mindfreak's Illusions. I wish Falcon would've been in the balloon to have a story to tell the media. Well as long as no one was hurt, except for the dude who tried to be Superman and run can catch the balloon but fell headfirst in the dirt. LOL hilarious he prolly got a scraped knee.

B's Sports Locker: NFL Football

As a devout Denver Broncos fan it feels good to have my team as one of the only 2 teams in the AFC with an undefeated record of 5-0. Having the crazy offseason that we had everybody in football society had wrote Denver off. The offseason was a wild one indeed, and it pushed me to the limit as a fan. I felt that with the firing of Mike Shanahan was not in good taste due to the fact that we finished 8-8, and we had about 5 running backs injured. With a couple offseason key additions Corey Buckhalter and Brian Dawkins I felt that we were on a good track. Then came the dilemma with Jay Cutler and the new coach Josh McDaniels, which led to us trading our "Franchise Quaterback Jay Cutler" and received some draft picks and...Kyle Orton. At first I didn't like Orton for our quarterback but I felt like base on his last year stats that he was coming into a great situation. He was surrounded by a plethora of weapons with Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley, Tony Scheffler, Corey Buckhalter, Peyton Hillis, and Knowshon Moreno. Going from throwing to an unestablished receiver/elite return specialist (Devin Hester), and a rookie halfback (Matt Forte) and a good tight end(Greg Olsen) to those weapons I named is like going to quarterback heaven. Denver had a rough start going 1-3 in the preseason. During that time these dilemmas with our Franchise WR(B Marshall), which you can refer to my previous post about him and that situation. Even after all of that I was still excited to see the new system and new defense. At 5-0 Denver is finally getting the respect that they deserve. The defense is one of the best in the league and Kyle Orton has been playing great football. He threw his first interception of the year last game but it was a hial mary pass which Randy Moss picked off(which was his only catch of the day s/o Champ Bailey) The rest of the schedule is still tough but i think Denver Broncos really believe in themselves and this system. I am content but Monday night vs rival's Sand Diego Chargers will be tough, hopefully we win.

Everything thats Swine is not Fine

I read a hilarious tweet on Twitter from my friend Prince, he said for everybody to hold out on that H1N1 vaccine and that he felt that it was an evil plan by the government. Kind of like a top secret genocide. I haven't received my vaccine but with all the rumors of 2012 being our last year, im surely not rushing to get my vaccine. I feel more safer just washing my hands. A great joke I heard about the swine flu goes like this: You know the world is gonna end when pigs fly, well hey we got the swine flu and its everywhere.(this is where you laugh) Ok maybe that joke is kind of old but hey its raining cats and dogs outside so cheer up.
