Pic of the Day: Super throwback

Just got tagged in this picture yesterday on facebook. Its me 1999 in the 8th grade at Lindsay middle school when we went to Kings Dominion for a band competition and to visit the amusement park. I am all the way to the left on the first row.

Old rappers are having the best week ever!

Hip hop over the past few years has been all about the new dudes coming into town. Most of them have came and went. This year has been thrusted with new dudes thanks to the now infamous XXL's Freshman 10 cover from late last year (by the way that 'class' has like a 40% success rate). And because of all this attention old rappers no likey. It came to a point where all these dudes sounded like those grumpy old men who sits on a stoop all day, drink beer and play dominos or cards or chess. They were all talk and no action, if there was action there was no re-action to their actions. But these past few days old rappers are back with two major hip hop releases this week Raekwon (feat Ghostface Killah) Only Built For Cuban Links II and Jay-Z's Blueprint 3. Im happy for these dudes especially Rae cause he does not have the same machine as Jay-Z has behind him, I mean we all know that Jay was going to do well even though BP3 is Kingdom Come part 2 aka very dissappointing. Raekwon is getting numbers because of his skill, the respect that real heads have for him and that is extremely commendable regardless if your an old head or a freshmen.

Oo Im Dangerous.

So I am on my morning commute which I already dred,and today its raining AGAIN. So I get to Hampton get off at the Hampton U exit and make my way to Burger Kang, I make a left at the stop sign then BOOM blue lights. Great. So I have one headlight out which I already knew and apparently and didnt make a total complete definite stop at the sign. Oooh Im such a criminal. To top it off it was 3 of them 3 cops and for what reason? One cop doing the whole process, another cop on the passenger side of the car shining a flash light into it, and another standing behind him. I mean is there someone killing someone somewhere? I guess not at 6:30 in the morning. I now have a summons to show up in court sometime in November for "failure to obey a traffic sign", whatever im paying that ish off so I wont have to go to court. In closing thank you Hampton City cops so glad that you are following the motto To Serve and Protect meaning to Serve me papers and Protect your quota rep, good job.

My New Favorite Song/Video Dedication

"Walked in the club like who dat?" I discovered this video over on Va$htie's Blog and um I love's it. This is Ninjasonik with "Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant" I also wanna dedicate this video to my girl LEY, I was talking to her saturday night and I told her to look up this video and I loved her reaction.

Summer 2009

^^^This is the face I give summer of 2009
Well today is Labor day which marks the end of the summer season. The summer of 2009 will go down in infamy both in pop culture and in my personal life. The biggest i guess event or occurance in my life this summer was the passing of my father something that took us all by surprise and something that we will never believe. We (my mother, brother and I) try to look at it as he went in peace without pain, he lead quite the life, and will forever be missed. This summer also marked the passing of many Ed Mcmahan, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Walter Kronkite, DJ AM and sooo many others, too many to count it seems. Alright so that's the bad stuff, let's focus on the good stuff. I didnt do too much because of my job. Summer's arent what they used to be, after you graduate summer is just another season as opposed to THE season, know what I mean? I did attend some really cool concerts including Santigold and The Great Hangover Tour. At the end of the day the Summer of 2009 can bite me, I am not sad to see it go AT ALL. Besides autumn is my FAAAVORITE season. The weather is getting cooler, the colors are changing. I have a weakness for pumpkin patches and I dont know this season just warms my soul. Hopefully this season will bring better things. But the Summer of 2009 gets a grade of F---- that's four minuses.

This Video Is So Wrong, but Right at the Same Time

This is the video for Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor" I guess I should have parental discretion cause its pretty dirty, but its hilarious. I brought Major Lazer's Guns Dont Kill People...Lazer's Do yesterday. Haven't got the chance to really listen to it but the stuff I did hear I like. Who knew 2 white boys could make such a good reggae album ey? Well one of those dudes is Diplo, and Diplo is dope! So anyways here ya go

A Truer Statement Have Never Been Spoken

This song really needs no intro this is Felix Da Housecat with "We All Wanna Be Prince" I agree, especially if we're talking about Prince in the 80's-early 90's.
Felix Da Housecat - We All Wanna Be Prince


PS. Is that Dallas Austin playing the Prince-like character? I definitely think that is, if so GREAT choice in casting, I think he is prolly the closest thing we have to a throwback Prince these days. The multi instrumentalism, the mystique, the playarism.
