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.
