Won't Win this Race

2013-10-30T18:29:00.001-05:00

According to Bleacherreport.com Terell Owens says there is a racial double standard of criticizing Cowboys WR Dez Bryant's sidleine rant from Sunday when Tom Brady does the same shit. As a black man I can not disagree anymore with that notion. On Sunday the 4th year wideout appeared to have thrown a tantrum when the Cowboys gave up a touchdown in the last 12 seconds of the game. Racism is very much alive and serious but this can not be taken serious on any level. Bryant got the attention he wanted.

Coming into this game Dez Bryant was already messing up. Aside from the reputation he had off the field he was trying to compare himself to Calvin Johnson. As I'm typing this I'm laughing about that sentence. There is no real comparison. Calvin Johnson's nickname is Megatron. That says something when you are nicknamed after a Transformer. But Bryant thought he was Optimus Prime I guess. He had a decent game which was 3 catches for 72 yards and 2 touchdowns. How many did Johnson have? Oh just a measly 14 catches for 329 yards and a touchdown. Bryant looked more like Optimus Prius and the sideline activities did not help.

You can not compare Dez Bryant and Tom Brady whether position or player. As players, Tom Brady is a veteran who has not only been to multiple Super Bowls but won multiple Super Bowls. Has a few Pro Bowls under his belt and an MVP. Has the single-season record for TD passes. He has placed this franchise into a position of dominance in the past decade. Yeah he should yell at receivers if they are screwing up. He is also the Quarterback. Therefore he is THE undeniable leader of this team. Quarterbacks have to take charge of football teams because that is where the credit goes for wins and losses. Bryant has not put up anything close to those numbers. He does not even have a pro bowl. As much as I hear people brag on him year in and year out he should have at least two of those.

So again how is this about race? What's racist is these black coaches getting fired and not being able to find jobs after they have proven records. What's racist is people still using blackface for their Halloween costumes. That is racist and only the tip of it. Dez Bryant throwing a fit because Calvin Johnson dominated Dallas' defense is pathetic. And yes I did see the video with the audio. Even with the audio, everybody's body language does not look like they are trying to hear anything Bryant has to say especially when it looks like he's getting into it with Jason Witten. Plenty of black players have been seen yelling amongst their teams over the years but not portrayed as negatively as Bryant. I could say "kudos" to the Cowboys for sticking up for their player but I felt it was more about deflecting from their sideshow reputation gained in the past few years rather than justifying Bryant's actions.

With all due respect T.O., because I think the media had a favoritism for Tom Brady anyway, Bryant's sideline act is nothing more than attention-seeking just like your comment could be classified as. He has no legitimate beef with anybody other than himself getting into that situation. Speaking as a black man, there are way more problems with our community other than a football player throwing a fit because his quarterback is not throwing him the ball. Even though racism is a problem, it's not the only problem for African-Americans.

Are you Beautiful?

2013-10-13T04:57:00.001-05:00

So I'm up for no damn reason but I caught an epsiode of Dr. Phil and he had an intersting show: 62 yr old lady with a 28yr old boyfriend; a lady lost 140 lbs and her husband didn't like the attn she got; and a lady frm some show "The Swan" who didn't like the new attn she got. Pretty much all the guests were beautiful but could not find happiness.

Its pretty ironic. These women are gorgeous and putting smiles on a lot of guys' faces but at what cost. Either they're mad or their family is mad but somehow a silver lining is found in all this. They are getting the attention they did not expect. Take the weight loss lady for example. When she was fat her husband was more slender and women would hit on him in front of her face. ( one chick that had a crush on the husband referred to her as "the fat wife"). Now she is getting hit on and he is heavier (partially due to eating the food her skinny self can't finish hahaha) but he can not handle that shit. He once punched a guy who was trying to flirt with her. As for her, Dr. Phil put it best when saying she is doing an "endzone dance": celebrating and rubbing in a newfound victory (she said the chick who called her fat wife could kiss her ass).

Who could blame her tho? Could you imagine not only being overlooked but when you are acknowledged it is negative. The thing is a lot of us feel that way but won't admit it. We feel we are cool ass people to be with and that should be enough but sometimes we feed into the images of tv and music and feel we're not attractive. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with being with someone you have a physical attraction to (face-wise) but make sure they have a personality or share some connection with you. Porn stars are beautiful and fuck different types of ppl all day yet some of them are married. Its that connection they're significant other has to understand what their job is and be okay with it.

But regardless of who you are with you or what you look like you have to be on point with self. A couple years ago some friends of mine came up with our own excercise commitment called Project: Get Cut where we were all gonna get fit for that summer. We joke around saying I'm gon look like so and so twin or I'm gon have all the hoes such and such be singing about lol. It was goofy but sometimes its the stuff I always thought about when working out. Pushing myself because one day I'm gon walk in the bank with my shirt off pulling bank tellers like "Bitch you see these triceps come roll to Church's chicken with me"? Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. We need our personality to manage our own sanity and understanding. That understanding is gonna help us find that one person that sees us as a Benz when we feel like a Pinto.

So all my friends are doing this healthy eating thing and working out just like the rest of the country. Somewhere somebody is changing their appearance somehow but that won't change who we are in anyway on the inside. These 3 women are beautiful on the outside but it's important they feel beautiful on the inside. Beauty is not measured in hair length, lost pounds or price of clothes. It is measured by integrity, values and the size of your heart. Beauty is found in the eye of the beholder and we have to realize we are our own beholder. Holla black.

NFL Recap!!!!!!

2013-09-11T22:01:00.001-05:00

Ladies sorry to inform you but the NFL has officially returned and it was a Week one filled with winners and losers, literally and figuratively. So lets’ go ahead and get my highlights out the way first:

Winners

Peyton Manning beat the wingspan off the Ravens. I knew their defense was going to lose some ground but I think Manning shook their whole earth. He played a game that was at a Michael Jordan-esque magnitude throwing 7 touchdowns on the defending Super Bowl champions. And yes I would like to point out the Broncos running game was not impressive but who needs help from a mediocre opening act when your main attraction can open and close the show.

In one game Geno Smith may have saved a job and ended another and for the latter I am thankful. The rookie QB won his first career regular season start defeating the Tampa Bay Bucs but bigger than that he did his thing passing for 256 and a TD and leading the team in rushing with 6 rushes for 47 yards. So with all this speculation about what to do with Sanchez and Ryan, hopefully this would put a decision on either one’s future. From what I’m writing it may sound like I’m leaning toward Sanchez getting the boot only because I’m sure it will happen. But back to Smith, who was chosen in the second round of a draft heavy on the O-lineman (no pun intended). If he continues to keep up this type of play a lot of defenses may be heavy on studying him.

Can’t forget about my home state of Texas, so much love to the Cowboys and Texans!! Dallas’ renovated 4-3 defense forced 6 turnovers on Eli Manning in their home opener. It was also the first time the Cowboys beat the Giants in the stadium formerly known as Cowboys Stadium (now called AT&T stadium). As for the Texans, they mounted a 21 point second-half comeback against the Chargers in their home opener which included a 41-yard field goal to win the game as time expired.

Losers

Sadly I have to start my losers off like this but I have to get it done. What is up with the Pittsburgh Steelers? They seem to be losing some of their luster that it seems over half the nation is infatuated with. Ever since they got beat by Tebow in that playoff game they have not been the same. They missed the postseason last year. No James Harrison on defense and no Mike Wallace on offense. Even though it’s one game, it probably is not a good sign to lose to the Tennessee Titans on the first game of the season. Especially when all Jake Locker did was put up a measly 125 yards and Chris Johnson added pedestrian 70 yards rushing. Steel curtain may be closing down on this team If this continues during the season.

Running backs were not as impressive. Patriots’ Shane Vereen was the only running back to hit 100 yards. The other 100 yard rusher was Raiders’ Terelle Pryor, a quarterback. So for fantasy football heads unless your running back hit 3 touchdowns like Peterson did or hit some goal line/receiving action like the Lions’ Joique Bell you probably did not make that much point wise. And if your running back was either David Wilson or Montee Ball, you can shoot your big toe now. The Giants’ Wilson had 2 fumbles and may soon be replaced/sharing carries with either Brandon Jacobs or Willis McGahee. Broncos rookie Montee Ball was expected to make a larger impact than what was shown but did not. And that performance was bad enough for Yahoo to notify me that he was dropped by 14,000 teams across fantasy football.

Somebody do me a favor and tell the Jacksonville Jaguars that by NFL rules they have to show up at some point this season. How do you open the season at home scoring only 2 points? I used to think it people were over the top when talking about how bad they were but I now see where their points lie. You got beat by a Chiefs team that could not hold a lead in regulation last season for 7 or 8 games. Alex Smith did not even crack 200 yards and Jamaal Charles did not even run for a 100 yards and still managed to put 28 points on the board. The only good thing that came out of this for Jacksonville is that Chad Henne will now be the starter but he was garbage before so the Jaguars still lose.

Good Kid Maad Rappers

2013-08-13T17:58:00.001-05:00

It is unanimous Kendrick Lamar has apparently saved hip hop according to social media. I woke up and saw the quotes in my Instagram and knew I had to repost. In case you been under a rock or watching MTV Kendrick Lamar dropped a verse on Big Sean's Control calling out half the current rap game and the whole damn internet went crazy. Is hip hop "back"?

Cause you know thas the phrase all underground rappers and hip hop heads are spouting. "Hip hop is back"; "Hip hop needs this"; "Kendrick that real shit". For once I have to throw all favor into the pseudo-conservative nature of hip hop heads. Hip Hop is extrememely competitive. Even tho battle rappers rarely make it to the mainstream there is still a market for rap battles. But there has not been a good lyrical battle between mainstream rappers in a long time. I would not compare to this Nas/Jay Z since that stemmed from a personal issue or 50 Cent/Game since that was one sided in favor of The Game. But that drought has ended. Joell Ortiz has already responded to the verse with his own version and he wasn't even mentioned!! Already good things are happening for rap's competitive arena and can't wait for these other comtemporaries to step up.

But there has to be a negative to this right? You know how rappers do. MC sees MC do. Remember when Rick Ross put out that Big Meech song? Everybody thought they were somebody other than themselves. It was a big ass lyrical costume party. So will every rapper be calling out other rappers. I pray to God they don't. Cause it won't be just rappers you heard about. It's gon be the local mofos recording in they closet calling out a bunch of niggas you know nothing about and everybody gon be confused and angry at each other. And of course the ultimate negative I feel will come frm this: nothing happens. All we're gonna get from the rappers mentioned is a bunch of "I like it, it's good for hip hop"; "He is getting fans to my music". Ain't nobody got time for that. We tryna see some collabs now. No talking, more rapping!! We tryna see who gon beast Kendrick Lamar on his own joint or who gon let him on their shit. BASICALLY WHO AINT SCARED TO GO HEADS UP WITH K DOT!!!!

So Kudos to Kendrick Conan for dropping that shit. Rappers I shouldn't have to tell you but take notice. Step your feature game up cause apparently you have been lacking. People talk shit about Lil Wayne but yall remember at one point he was the king of guest verses. And after this verse that crown may be passed around more than a few times.

Murder Rap

2013-08-07T16:05:00.003-05:00

Some idiot got arrested for a double homicide. The reason he is an idiot is because the cops listened to one of his rap songs and linked his lyrics to the crime. Why can't you be a rapper that lies like the other rappers?

Rappers always talking shit about something tho. I'm not even gon bring no links in this because we all know a rap song that says something criminally negligent even if you have never heard a rap song in your life. Just a a few months ago rick Ross lost his Reebok deal because he rapped about slipping a date rape drug in some chick's drink. Every rap show I perform at i can count on another rapper shouting this phrase, "Who smokes weed?" I bet you be real surprised if the police stepped in and asked the same question. In fact you might be suprised if one of yo fans answered and got arrested (which is dumb off in itself for that fan). I can write 500 books on the laws broken in rap songs but a lot of times these guys are caught in these lies. Caught up by some gimmick the label has them do to sell records. And they keep these fake personas going until they run into some real trouble. Look at T.I. His first couple albums he was superthug!! He got hit with that first gun charge and damn near became Cosby. Exceptions to this would prolly be Chief Keef and Lil Wayne. I dont know why but maybe it has something to do with dreads.

As for this fool, he got what he deserved and maybe more. Obviously for the double homicide and for being stupid. Its an unwritten rule that if you do a crime you shouldn't talk about it in the form of one of the more popular music' genres in the world, in other words: don't rap that shit. People dont remember 5 words their boss told them to do this morning but they can recite the new Drake song that they listened to once. So yeah sir, the only bars you will have will not come from your notepad.

My agony of Facebook

2013-07-03T14:36:00.001-05:00

The other day I had a convo with a friend and she told me she deactivated her facebook. Said that it was a distraction and most of all there was so much negativity. Then it dawned on me, facebook has some shit on there that it really needs to filter or get rid of and imma let yall niggas know bout it.

I don't know if anybody has seen these moody mopy ass statuses posted throughout; but I have seen extra moody mopy ass statuses about them. You know the ones where they go "facebook is negative", "stop complainin", and other crap. Here's a new flash: change your fuckin circle and shut the fuck up. Ur no better than they whinin ass. You have over 1000 friends u can't tell me honestly that those are the only mofos who actually matter that much to waste your character space. Facebook oughta charge you for fuckin up my newsfeed.

Religous and sensitive posts kinda hit me the wrong way sometimes. I feel like if I ignore a picture I'm goin to hell, somebody dies from cancer, or a puppy loses a paw. Wassup with all the guilt. I'm not sure what church you go to but I highly doubt God is gonna determine your place in heaven based on how many times you share a photo.

Anti religous posts killlll me!! Oh my God we get it you don't go to to church. Whoop de doo what do you want? No communion? What really irks me are the criticisms ppl have which are seemingly always against christianity."Jesus was black, who this white man?" "Preachers drive fancy cars, and congregation drive crap" blah blah blah catholics ain't right blah blah republicans said this yada yada. Everybody has a right to their own opinion but damn tho this shit ain't happenin on Twitter. Find another religion!! So what Jesus is painted as white. Its America!! Theyre motto is "if it ain't white it ain't right" (fight me on that). There's a lot of things in the Bible people don't follow today (which ironically is an argument used by atheists) so let it go!! As far as preachers or churches "getting money", if it is to the point of harassment or gunpoint your church is hounding you for money find another church. If you can't afford to pay tithes don't pay them!! God knows everything even when you broke!!

Relationship memes are the worst. You know what they are: "be the one she holds..." and aw hell i threw up in my mouth just now lol. Just like the religous segment, No picture is gonna stop some douchebag frm being a douchebag to his girlfriend. The same ppl who makes those memes are probably some lonely thirsty fucks seeking attention. Obviously those same people are single because people in relationships dont have time for that shit. They too busy bein in a relationship.

So there I said it. Tired of the fuckery on facebook. People it's social media not a protest rally or a church or a dating site. Log in, do nothing useful, log off simple as that. We could be back in the olden days when you actually had to interact with people face to face. But a lot of yall mentioned in today's activities are too ugly to handle that pressure.

Ghetto Gospel: Rappers and their Jesus Complex

2013-06-23T18:37:00.003-05:00

Rappers seemed to have adopted a Jesus complex. Kanye revealed initial artwork for his album "Yeezus" which is him nailed to a cross with red sneakers. Last year The Game released his album Jesus Piece with album cover of stained glass mural of Jesus wearing a red bandana. Years ago Nas' video for Hate Me Now showed him depicting hisself as Jesus by carrying a cross reenacting the crucifixion and a few yrs later dropped his album "God's Son", which unofficially became a moniker attached to him throughout his career.

Im prob not the most perfect person to be criticizing their actions but i just have to know what are these guys' fascination with Jesus? Its not the fascinaton like Kirk Franklin or any other gospel singer but they are actually painting themselves as Christ or using His image. Its a plethora of things that runs through my mind when looking at these pictures.

In this present time I think many ppl are getting away frm religion because of the bad rap it has kinda gotten this millenium. It mightve started with 9/11 when everyone assumed all muslims were terrorists. The catholic priest scandals have not helped at all. And recently Christianity has taken a hit with prolly jus about everything frm gay marriage activists to Tim Tebow critics.
I chose these 3 rappers because of their mass appeal but within their mass appeal has to be various religous groups so why Jesus? Why not Buddha or Allah or any other religous deity? Perhaps being black males in America they were raised upon Christianity beliefs and may not have had access at learning or knowing about an alternate religion. Not saying they were so poor they couldnt but maybe there were no nation of islam ppl around to garner any interest or any people of the Buddha faith to do the same.

Now I mention the term Jesus Complex because it complexes me why these rappers would put themselves in that epiphany-like position. Prob the same knowledge was used when rappers name themselves after italian gangsters (beanie sigel, 100 rappers named capone or gotti). Most notably and ironically for Nas and Kanye they are not depicting themselves as the Jesus who performed miracles and did good deeds but rather the one who was crucified for his beliefs. In my personal opinion, I think rappers get blamed for a lot: crime, sex, and pretty much the decline in society's values. But to take it to the point of being crucified seems just a bit too embellishing. Even for Kanye. I'm a big fan of his music and I think a lot of ppl unfairly criticize him for his non music actions. But strangely his music is about some of those actions.

So to close out you have to wonder when does art become offensive and when is art just art? And what would be the difference between Kanye on a crucifix when 2pac did it for the Makaveli album? Before writing this post I wasnt too thrilled with Kanye's album at all because of the artwork but now I'm thinking maybe its just an artistic choice. Maybe these guys are not trying to deliver the message they are Christ but as mentioned earlier the criticism they face daily to them could feel as dense as someone who is being crucified. But treally it all comes down to what you believe in and who you believe in.

The Playoff Somewhat Payoff

2013-04-18T23:39:00.000-05:00

Yes!!! Made it another year to get to this point of the year: NBA playoffs!! Can't lie. NBA Playoffs over any other playoffs but I established that already. So instead I'm goin to go on a ledge and do something I've never done before: make playoff pics. Now bear with me cuz this ain't your usual NBA playoff picks these are jus some vague ass sure fire statements I made you can prolly bet nothing more than a warm beer on. So crack that 40 open and get yo read on.

Lakers won't get swept

I've thought about this post loooong before Kobe took that fall. But something tells me this team won't get destroyed as bad ppl think. Now don't take that as they will win the series cuz going against the Spurs in the first round after San Antone got busted last yr against OKC will be a tough task. Lake show been struggling all yr and they seemed to have gotten their act together before losing Fearless Leader. They already beat the Spurs earlier in the week and I think Dwight Howard is motivatd to take this team over for the time being. If he's not then he's ready to put on one hell of an audition tape, hopefully for the Rockets. I expect that good work to continue in the postseason.

Heat/Knicks will be in conf finals

Ever since Melo came to NY that franchise has been completely different. This season has been especially remarkable. They are the 2 seed entering the playoffs, a lot of their stars are healthy coming into postseason play and even gave the Heat a run for their money a little. That latter statement is important cause last season's 5 game sweep was too devastating of an end for that team. The Heat seem invincible coming off a 27 game winning streak beating folks left and right with or without all of the new Big 3. I mean who else in the East really matters. Celtics are a yr away frm rebuilding, Bulls have no Derrick Rose, Brooklyn is not that playoff strong to me and every other team is irrelevant and unmentionable. Also this won't be a quick 5 or 6 game series. Get your DVR ready cuz this is going the full 7 games. So there will be plenty of chances for a classic Lebron/Melo matchup for the Conference Finals and you can bet the 6 pack on that.

Bulls and Heat are going 7 games

Both teams will be coming off lackluster opponents (Heat vs. Bucks; Bulls vs. Nets) so expect them to really get it going. The thing is since chicago is technically a lower seed they may be pushing the pedal a little harder and willl be warmed enough to take on the defending champions. And then there is this little problem with whether or not Derrick Rose is gonna play but that shit wont be happening as I mentioned earlier. The Heat may be sort of sluggish after barely wielding any effort in sweeping the Bucks. This means they will definitely let some games get close but that is not what you want to do with a team such as Chicago. Just like last year when the Pacers gave them their wake up call, expect the Bulls to do the same to the Heat. The same team that ended their historic winning streak will definitely look to put a championship streak before it even begins.

Spurs will find a way... to fuck it off

Sry San Antone, out of all the Central Texas sports teams (Mavs, Cowboys, Longhorns, Rangers) you are my fav fan base but you will not be makin that shine for a fifth title. Your drive for five is gonna crash. Now don't get me wrong y'all have a good squad but letting go of Stephen Jackson gave the Nuggets an extra confidence boost. Signing T-Mac was nice but everybody keeps thinking of the T-Mac in Addidas commercials and hittin 3's consecutively. That shit aint happenin anymore bruh. The Thunder still have Westbrook/Durant and Kevin Martin is not bad. He's no James Harden (who by the way needs to get MVP for taking the Rockets up a notch but i'll shut up) but he is sufficient enough.

So those are my picks. Feel free to comment on whether you like them or you think I need to stop sniffing glue. Hit me up with feedback at:

Bad Rap

2013-04-11T21:57:00.003-05:00

In 2006 Nas dropped the album Hip Hop is Dead and oh my damn Hip Hop went crazy. In 2013 I'm startin to ponder how true those words could be? Especially considering what the first few months of rap music has seemed to be in comparison to its supposed more sensitive and softer spoken sibling, r&b.

Gone are the days where the r&b singer is suppose to be masters of love: singing about significant others, heartache, and random love making (not sex, but makin love). No more playing in the background of a rapper's platinum pop hit or even playing background when a rapper features on their song. The current crop of R&B stars are stepping out with just as much swag as their hip hop counterparts.

So far some of the biggest songs that have dropped this year and got the hip hop sites buzzin have involved R&B artists. Everybody went crazy when Beyonce dropped "I Been On". Yeh ppl have hated on it but in an artistic value. And yes there has been buzz about which rappers is and will be on the remix and future remixes but have to point out the fact that an R&B singer started this whole thing with a song. Beyonce's joint is just an indication of the aggression you can feel from these singers nowadays. Take Ray J for example. Drops a diss song "I Hit it First" against Kim Kardashian out of nowhere. Ray J!! Aint that Brandy's brother? But the one to really take the spotlight right now is Chris Brown. Last week a video was released where just tears through a freestyle on Hot97. Not to mention his much talked about verse (partially because of the Drake diss) on Young Jeezy's R.I.P. remix.

So all this talk about R&B but what noise have the rappers made lately? Oh I dont know maybe about nothing related to art too much. You want notoriety, how about Lil Wayne offending a civil rights activist during Black History Month? Or what about Rick Ross' rape line. It wasnt even his song!! That will get you noticed but that's not what hip hop is about. Yes rap music is controversial at times raping women comparing civil rights workers' faces to vaginas really aint helping the cause. Neither is the fact that the one anticipated song this year (Drake's Started from the Bottom) has lead to criticism that he really didnt start from the bottom.

So is hip hop dying right now? Hard to argue considering the things going on right now and hard to believe after the year of albums which has happened and those projected to happen. But how long is it going to last for R&B right now. Big Krit has just dropped a mixtape already crowned a classic and J. Cole is well on his way to drop this year. Cause while these singers may be trying out different styles, their taking away from the romantic aura of R&B which is gonna eventually that genre. and it wont be long before we're giving them a "Bad Rap".

Accident Needing to Happen?

2013-04-09T09:59:00.002-05:00

Smmfh. Of all things to be done this year, a white has sparked a real conversation about racism. Brad Paisley dropped a new joint with LL Cool J titled "Accidental Racist" a song about a white man dealing with racial differences which in my opinion is like Kobe Bryant dealing with playing off the bench. But... I kid you not. I read the Entertainment Weekly online article and have heard the song and I'm completely sold on it.

“I just think art has a responsibility to lead the way, and I don’t know the answers, but I feel like asking the question is the first step, and we’re asking the question in a big way. How do I show my Southern pride? What is offensive to you? And he kind of replies, and his summation is really that whole let’s bygones be bygones and ‘If you don’t judge my do rag, I won’t judge your red flag.’ We don’t solve anything, but it’s two guys that believe in who they are and where they’re from very honestly having a conversation and trying to reconcile."

The song is an open look at racism frm a white man who starts out explaining to a Starbucks waiter why he was wearing his confederate flag shirt. Pretty nonsense oriented but pretty damn accurate in complaints made about the confederate flag. Like I implied earlier, I never saw white ppl as the ones who faced racial discrimination because they are the assumed majority (even though hispanics are projected to become the majority very soon.). Majority doesn't have to worry about racial profiling or bein called slurs because the majority for years has threw those at the minority. Times have changed and the minority isn't as meek as they once were. Now equality is not just in holding hands but trading jabs. The harsh reality to the oppressed is that they may be equal in oppression to even those that are the color of the majority.

Of course LL Cool J is in this blog as well. His verse is ok but rapping over this beat is kinda tricky and you can tell with his cadence. But dont let that take away from the message he is giving. He raps about how having saggy pants or dressed up in other certain ways shouldn't call for judgment. And what caught my attention was him talking about overlooking his gold chains and maybe he could overlook the iron chains. That was prob the most uncomfortable part of the song for me. Black people may never lean toward forgiving or forgetting the horrors of slavery once they learn about them. Jus the other day I heard white people used to use slave babies as alligator bait. Thas something that can never be forgotten especially in exchange for ignoring the fact I'm wearing some expensive jewelry.

To me, this song is more powerful than entertaining. A lot of ppl will tell you this song is wrong and what does a white man know about racism but exactly the reason why its needed. This conversation needs to happen. Every race is discriminatory to another in some form of fashion it doesnt matter what color you are.Why? Because as this country gets bigger and things become more televised and broadcasted globally, such as stereotypes, ppl all over the world are looking at how different races are being treated by the majority and other minorities and will follow suit. Theres racism against asians, hispanics, middle easterners and many more. Perhaps that should be the remix. But when it comes to racism we need to remix our thoughts of prejudice, stereotypes and hatred we have toward certain groups. Thas the message Paisley prolly wants to give thru this song hopefully racists will get the message thru to them and not jus by accident.

Gay Marriage and Gun Control

2013-04-02T23:29:00.000-05:00

Whats the difference between gay marriage and gun control? Surely Im not mistaking you right now. Honestly when making a somewhat decent attempt to watch the news I see either one or the other. A month or so ago it was all about guns. Now lately it's been all about gays getting married. Quite frankly neither one is a step closer to having any decent resolve.

Unfortunately, guns have never really become a hot-button issue until last year when mass shooting after mass shooting seemed to be happening. Soon people I thought were liberal were taking conservative stances on keeping guns and vice versa. Everybody felt their right to bear arms was being taken away. Obama was talking about banning assault rifles but NRA was like fuck all that!! And that turned into everyone arguing back and forth (and when i say 'arguing' I mean with Tweets and memes on Facebook). This situation with the gays seem to be getting that same irelleveant feeling but it has always been a huge issue.Now since the Supreme Court is hearing arguments this week to make it legal, the usual 'arguing' is back. This time they have a picture of an equal sign in pink on a red back drop.

People just need to face facts: This shit is not going away regardless of any bill that is passed or ruling that is handed down. Let's take the gay marriage issue for example. I have Facebook friends who are Christians, serious Christians as well, and dont really see eye to eye with what conservatives do all the time but this gay marriage debate has brought out the Bible. One status is about how marriage is defined for man and woman and all the other stuff. Then my other Facebook friends who are kinda teetering on the atheist side post about the Bible is interpreted one way and marriage is destroyed by celebrity infidelity and other crap. Guns argument as well although it may seem like its one sided to get rid of guns, I always hear a split argument of how they are needed to protect the family or go hunting.

So whats my viewpoint on gay marriage and guns: If they dont pass that marriage equality law, they better not give guns to the gays. But seriously does your opinion even matter? Yeh we will all vote it in or out either of these issues but I do not feel their hot topic life will ever die down. Why? Well youre talking about gun control and gay marriage youre talking about a person's personal protection and sex life respectivley. It's not like the economy issue where youre fussing at people to stop using a fucking credit card. No way. Youre intruding on how people survive and yes in both instances.

Psst It's not a Secret: My Experiences and Thoughts with the Illuminati

2013-03-20T22:55:00.001-05:00

Honestly, a lot of shit doesnt even bother me that much. Most of the time I say it does so I can get riled up for fun and blog it. But this shit right here my nigga, oh my damn!! Apparently an unsigned rapper tried to sacrifice his friend to join the illuminati and uspstart his career. Hit em with the cosby face one time!!

Niggas when are you gon learn to stop this bullshit. Really? Dude smoked a pound of marijuana and allegedly had a book which connected the music industry and the Illuminati together. Seriously this shit has got to stop and Ive always thought it was out of control since it first started.

First time I ever heard about Illuminati, was from 2pac around the time he was about to die. If anybody can remember that time frame, a lot of his songs themed around someone coming to kill him or him dying at an early age. Then right after he died they release Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. The only thing that came out of that was everybody was saying 2pac was still alive. Then in 2009 Michael Jackson died and people theorized somebody killed him which turned out to be a half truth but nothing more that a trial could cipher out. But later down the line people theorized it was actually the Illuminati. In early 2010 Jay-Z drops the video for "On to the Next One" and all hell breaks loose (no pun intended). Soon after it was Lady Gaga, Jay, Kanye, Beyonce and others dropping these cryptic messages claiming thy are apart of a "secret" society.I cant tell you how many times Ive heard about Obama being in the Illuminati, New World Order, or even Satan. Hell they even said Earth, Wind, and Fire were apart of the Illuminati.

My friends jumped on this bandwagon and I was shocked. They all came to my apt telling me about the symbols and actions they researched. I couldnt believe that shit at all. It's not that I didnt want to because obviously there had to be something out there to make connection (and there were quite a few) but something just never resonated right with me on this. What kind of secret society are letting their members give off the fact they are in a secret society? It must be a shitty society. And some of the examples were just fucking outrageous. For example, Jay-Z has been Roc a Fella records since forver and a day. Their "trademark" sign is throwing up 2 hands to form a triangle. They claimed that it represents the pyramid symbol on the dollar bill. Well tell that to the Delta Sigma Theta sorority and Diamond Dallas Page. (Also the same claim was made when Beyonce threw up the sign during her Super Bowl performance.)

The original Illuminati opposed superstition, prejudice, and supported women's rights. How did it get to become the greedy, new world order, devil worshipping group of musicians everybody suspects it to be is beyond my knowledge. Not every entertainer is in the Illuminati. Sorry to burst your bubble but maybe there are actually people out there who worked hard to get where they got and didnt have to sacrifice a life to achieve their dreams. But hey it's no secret this world is quicker to believe in a secret society getting you your dreams than believing in themselves.

Life is But a Beyonce Song

2013-03-19T11:12:00.000-05:00

Has Beyonce not shut down the game this year? I mean seriously come on now. Super Bowl she shut off tha lights with her halftime performance. HBO aired her documentary Life is but A Dream which answered the rumors of her having a surrogate to protect her FIIINE ASS BODDY. Ive heard more about Beyonce in the last couple of months than I prolly have ever. Now she drops this damn song:

I mean MY DAMN BEYONCE!! YOU GON GET EM LIKE THAT!! This whole joint is crazy. She takes it to tha whole Htown swag which I personally like because there are not a lot of Houston artists of any genre on a worldwide scale like she is. We put Lil Flip on and they wont let us come back. She got a R&B/Rap thing goin on here and it paid off for her. Everybody is talking about the song. One of my facbeook friends was hoping this would be on her upcoming album. The crazy thing is that it might not be on the album and its still causing hysteria. But alas, just as Beyonce has her fans she has her haters (damn right I said it)

Or what about this guy:

Blah blah blah and yaaawwwwwnnnnnn. Throughout her career Beyonce has dropped songs that has empowered women.So what she drops one little gem "talking down" on the competition. I quoted the phrase becuase any given rap song rappers are using general aggressive statements but nothing aimed at anybody.This song is borderline on being a rap song Boo fuckin hoo Beyonce used the B-Word, oh my goodness how human of her. What does the inauguration have to do with this? Yeah she sang at the inauguaration and you didnt. She's an artist and sometimes artists breaking away from their norm pays off.

Beyonce is becoming to r&b/pop music what Lebron is becoming to basketball. A couple of years ago XXL did a tribute issue to 2pac and one of the people they interviewed described him as a "game-changer". Beyonce is NO 2PAC, but like it or not she is a GAME CHANGER. To be that you have to take risks musically and she took a huge risk defying conventional logic of her genre, fan base, and everyone else. Kudos to the Queen lol jk. NOW BOW DOWN BICHES!!

Roger That

2013-02-02T10:02:00.002-06:00

This past week USA Today had an article about NFL players disapproving the way Roger Goodell has done things as commissioner. For what tho? Why are people hating on this man? What the hell has he done wrong in a business sense. NFL ratings are booming. Popularity is prolly at an all-time high. NFL concussions are being... ohhhhhh. Thas where the beef is for this burger. All these gotdamn safety rules being applied. All these fines bein put on players for jus "playing the game like it should be played". I'm not casting stones on anybody because I have seen some ridiculous calls but Goodell has been unfairly overtly criticized.NFL is going through and has went through multiple shitfests: lockouts, player safety, and concussions.

It's not his fault the league is facing a lawsuit from 4000 NFL players regarding the mistreatment of concussions. Maybe thats why there have been new poilicies to examine concussions in-game and out-game; rules that are just as intense as the hits which cause them. You cant blame him for placing rules outlawing hits to the head on Quarterbacks and eventually defenseless receivers in an attempt to prevent concussions and other subsequent head injuries. What about defenders? Well obviously you put fines on those that make the hit will have them think a little more fiscally and not make the hits.

Concussions and player safety may have had Goodell's most famous moment become his most indicting moment. When the Saints were discovered to have had a bounty system in place to take out certain players during the playoffs, Goodell suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for the season and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely (assistant coaches and the GM was suspended only for a handful of games). Not to mention evidence came down indicating players such as Johnathan Vilma - who was initially suspended then had it vacated - were knowingly apart of it.

Many say Goodell fucked it up and got it wrong but what would you do? Sit there let all parties go undisciplined risking what could be another lawsuit from those targeted players (Vikings QB Brett Favre and 49ers WR Kyle Williams). Nobody can say because nobody knows. What if Johnathan Vilma wouldve not been suspended for the season at all and a player got hurt from one of his tackles. We wouldve DESTROYED Goodell for not disciplining him. Just like those former NFL players are destroying the league for not disciplining themselves from staying out of games when some may have knew they were hurt.

But what can we say about this group? What can be said about the 61% who cant stand Goodell's ass? They talk down about how the game is "flag football", "it wont exist in 30 years", and all this other crap. But what's gonna happen when in 10-15 years when they are laid up or sitting around the house with seizures everyday, constant depression, outrageous behavioral episodes and other things associated with head trauma. Trust me, the headache they think are these new NFL safety rules will not compare the headache they will face from a brain injury.

Ruled Out

2013-01-20T19:46:00.001-06:00

Ironically, on MLK weekend would I be posting about this particular issue but quite frankly I have to come out and say it. The Rooney Rule in the NFL has to go. In case you don't know what that is (or if a racist) the Rooney Rule is a rule where NFL teams that have coaching/GM vacancies must interview one minority (usually African American). Im black. I shouldnt have a problem with something like that right? Well let me get my confession on.

This past offseason, there were 15 coaching/GM candidates open. All 15 were filled up without a single minority hire. The most important position here is the head coach spot since GM is more behind the scenes but still you could not manage to put Lovie Smith in either of the 8 open head coaching spots? You serious? He took the Bears to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman as his QB, so you know his DEFENSE WAS ON POINT!! He is one of the great defensive minded coaches in the past decade and Lawd knows San Diego needs some defense a little bit more than they need some offense. Philadelphia for sure. So why the hell would the Eagles bring in a college coach, Chip Kelly, with no real head coaching experience, to a team that is a clusterfuck of no defense, mediocre offense, and uncertain leadership. Thas not just one area for a coordinator but basically 3 that must be dealt with at once. its Ridiculous.

This is my beef with this Rooney rule, using minorities like some gotdamn requirement and not as a serious candidate. I'm glad they all interviewed minorities and keeping them in the loop (whoop de fucking whoop). But I rather not have the rule at all if it means some black coach is just gonna be looked at as some item on a checklist. It should come down to either youre gonna hire them or not. These execs know who they want coaching their team prolly while their current coach is still there. So why even waste time interviewing somebody you know for sure youre not gonna hire. Of course they do it with white candidates to see if there is something out there but they do that by choice and not by regulation. I would want to be treated like a human being and not a fucking rule posted on the wall.

I'm pretty sure the NFL feel they are doing a huge service for minorities but last week showed that this can be a great disservice. It exposed that no matter how much things change a lot kinda remains the same. To be less vague it means that you can't force somebody to change their mindset. All the analysts appeared outrage no minority coaches were hired but the key word is "appeared". But really is anybody surprised? Many of these franchises were created during times when African Americans were seen and treated as second class citizens; not CEO's, doctors, presidents, or head coaches. The best thing black coaches/GM's can do for themselves is go out and do their job at the highest level. Make these owners eat their decisions. Do what you do best and keep calling plays because this Rooney Rule is something the NFL needs to audible.

Fame is a Funny Thing

2012-08-10T23:08:00.001-05:00

So like everybody else over the past few weeks, I have been sticking my nose in the Olympics and pretending I care about the sports shown on broadcast tv cuz i wasnt fortunate enough to watch the real sports (i.e. basketball hahahaha). But of course the all-black everything persona I have taken notice to this Gabby Douglas Phenomenon and I mean damn ppl!! What the hell wrong with yall and yall comments? But then again, this is fame so what could you expect.

Fame is fucked up because there is good and bad to it. It's attention for anything you do.It was Chris Rock who said you don't wanna be the first black to do anything. When she won the gold medal, she became the first African-American All around Olympic champ and she got the good and the bad. Cuz you know when black people do something they single us out like we're some fucking aliens (or the love calling us animals; flying squirrel my ass). Yeah she may have inspired African-American girls to attempt the impossible, but the "critics" decided to come out and talk about how bad her hair was. Bich!! it's an athletic event!! If youre worried more about your hair more than how youre competing youre obviously getting your ass kicked (except for Troy Polamalu). And here comes the real kicker, when they were delving into her whole thing with her father. Applause is given to Gabby's mother for raising her on her own with little child support assistance. Yet when she threw him under the bus for leaving them, and she did a little bit considering the circumstances, that bus was a big ass bus driven by the media.

It's just a crazy look at how things can be ordinary for you one day, then upside down the next day. If she wasnt even competing in the games nobody would even care for her hair, or her father "stepping out" on her and her mother. But she did compete in the biggest sporting event in the world and will have to endure the spotlight some more considering the endorsements that will come her way. She has the ability to lay low, prob graduate high school and start college possibly or rake in all the money from reality tv. But it's unlikely Gabby feeds the VH1 and goes the route of reality tv, but then again fame is a funny thing.

NBA Playoffs Dunks Over Others

2012-05-09T00:44:00.000-05:00

Theres no pretty introduction but just to say it...NBA playoffs are the best playoffs of all the sports. There. Ive finally admitted it and you should too. As the first round of the NBA playoffs are winding down down I am realizing this epiphany more than ever.

Basketball is an exciting sport. You put five players on a court against five other players and they play offense and defense. No disrespect to the other major sports but when it comes to the playoffs NBA got this. NHL. Who watches it? Baseball. Dont have the time. NFL. You work one weekend and you can miss basically the whole show. But not the NBA. The first round has at least 2 games every night. And ever since they moved to the best of 7 format, it's gotten even better because the matchups play out more. Another thing about NBA playoffs is EVERYONE is playing. In the NFL the top 2 teams from each conference take that first weekend off while the bottom playoff teams duke it out. Now for injury reasons NFL won't do 7 game series but at least make the top seeds play that first weekend that well. Recent years have shown them get beat in their first game anyway. The NBA has shown no real favoritism to its top seeds either. Last year the Spurs were the 1 seed in the West but got beat by the 8 seed Grizzlies. Even as I speak, the Bulls are on the verge of elimination (granted Derrick Rose is injured) after being the 1 seed in the East. Speaking of Rose, it brings up my last point. NBA superstars bring a different excitement to fans than other sport superstars. Im watching this Lakers game right now as Kobe is hitting all these 3's back to back; Sunday Carmelo Anthony had the whole Madison Square Garden electrified when Knicks fans thought the season was over. Maybe the latter had something to do with him taking on NBA's consensus poster child Lebron James head on. Imagine if Eli Manning could ever get in the face of Tom Brady or if Josh Hamilton could go actual head to head with Derek Jeter on every play.

So first round of the playoffs are just about over and there is still more to come. Unfortunately for the NBA, Derrick Rose is out and the Eastern Conf playoffs may be a bore this year since no team can challenge the Heat too much. But then again it is the NBA and it is playoffs time and EVERYONE is PLAYING.

Role-Out

2012-04-09T10:47:00.015-05:00

Oh Tim Tebow, you will be a republican in no time. Recently the newly traded Jets QB came to Georgetown, Texas to speak at a church service and dropped a little easter egg for pro athletes being role models:

"Yes you are. You're just not a good one"

WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!! REALLLY!!!!????? Tebow Tebow Tebow. I mean he really smacked pro athletes hard on this one. And to be honest his statement is accurate and annoying. Now generally role model is associated (not defined) with doing something positive, wholesome and fulfilling in their lives. Im not gonna put my money on a superstar of any kind to do that. Over the course of the years I have found pro athletes and celebrities to be the worst role models that there could ever be, especially the big names. Im sure we all remember Michael Jackson (child moleststation; family issues), Tiger Woods (sex addict), Michael Irvin (drugs and arrests), Kobe Bryant (sexual assault; infidelity), Mark McGwire (lying to congress) and many more!!! Nobody can ever forget the biggest fumble of them all: O.J. Simpson (robbing and accused of murder). O.J. changed the game of celebrity crime. But, with the exception of McGwire, these stars' problems arised from their personal dealings. Dealings that average sloppy joes like you and me actually go through. Think about it. Just think about your whole week last week. You can not sit there (and tweet on the side) and tell me you did not have a thought about either doing some drug (alchohol included) or wanting to fuck somebody that you wasn't suppose to. And most of you did either one or the other.

The point I'm making from this is regular people go through shit like celebs but celebs prob deal with it a larger amount considering the magnitude of their fame. You cheat on your wife and fuck a waitress from Hooters, it was prob an upgrade. Tiger Woods does it, he's the worst man in America. But on the opposite side people forgive celebs more. You go to rehab, you're a weirdo; Tiger goes to rehab, he's on the road to recovery. Now superstars are not all bad all the time. Usually when they retire they dive head first into their charities or do some philanthropy work long after their time of glory has passed. So they do become somewhat of a role model but only in their "regular people years".

So I finish with this to say. A lot of people today look at Tim Tebow as the ultimate role model mainly because of his faith and the minimal success he has had on the field. The way he carries himself in the public eye a lot of times one can even call him a role model for his peers but i rather not. Cause as glorified as his career has been the past yr and a half, he's still a human being. So that statement was bold but it raised the stakes in keeping his own image clean. He's poster child for everything wholesome now but only time will tell. And just like his opponents on the field this season every pro athlete who has heard his comment is no doubt waiting on the day that he will fuck up and they can put some dirt in the face of that image.

A month of thoughts

2012-03-29T02:19:00.003-05:00

Over the past 30 days all everybody has been talking about is the Trayvon Martin case. If you have not heard of it by now (which I doubt) it is the case of a black teen who was murdered by a white neighborhood watchman. Surely i didnt have to put the race of the parties involved but it kind of makes you wonder is race really the factor in this situation? but you also have to ask why not? George Zimmerman, head of his neighborhood watch patrol is accused of killing Trayvon Martin, a regular high school kid who was wearing a hoodie and had a bag of skittles in his hand. Usually my blogs are filled with a lil bit of light humor but I find nothing funny about this at all. There is no blog that can write about the rights that need to be done in place of the wrongs. There is no tweet that can describe the trends of injustices that this is starting to follow. The fact that this man has not been arrested for anything after 30 days is ridiculous and shows the disease that has plagued the minds of certain Americans. Never mind the race but a child is dead and a mother does not have that child anymore. For anybody in law enforcement to not see that and let that man walk around free is disgusting. And this incident has kinda woke people to the world around them. Some celebs have spoke out about it and there have been protests all across the country but still nothing has been done on the law enforcement side. And some of the aftermath of this ordeal is just as worse. Even in releasing the 911 tapes which puts Trayvon as the victim but there are reports to claim\ Trayvon was the aggressor. So I say all that to end with this. No fuckin hoodie is gonna protect you from anybody that doesnt like you for reasons they were born and raised upon. You can block every bigot from your facebook and ignore every friend request from someone you THINK is a racist, but there are million more out there looking you in your face and shaking your hand. And their minds are plagued with hatred. And some of them cant wait to leave you dead in a fuckin street so they can infect you and your family with that same hatred and let you do something that will catch their punishment.

Free At Last!!!

2012-03-19T15:38:00.005-05:00

It's official whistle!! Peyton Manning is out of my Texans' lives for good, the AFC South is up for grabs again, and a little to my dismay Tebowmania is done!! Or is it? Cause just as recent as 2 months ago Tebowmania was at its zenith when he threw an 80 yd game winning TD in overtime against the Steelers in a playoff game. Now the Broncos are looking to throw him when they signed Peyton Manning, arguably the greatest free agent in NFL history or whatever Adam Schefter has been saying in my head for the last 2 weeks. But the funny thing is this. Ever since Tebow started his run, players and coaches in the league have been divided on whether Tebow is a good quarterback or just another great college quarterback who is prolonging joining the college analyst booth. Now will be the time to tell who is about Tebow and who isn't. There are teams out there who need quarterbacks (Miami, Cleveland, Jacksonville)but the free agent QB's out there really isn't exactly winning any Madden games for me. Outside of Peyton Manning, I believe the most bragged on free agent QB was Matt Flynn, Aaron Rodgers' backup. Not a bad way to go considering who he sat behind but at least boost up a starter. As for Tebow, it may not be so bad considering he actually has an offseason this year to work on his skills. But whoever goes after him better pray harder than he will that it works out.

Talkin Shit

2012-01-28T17:00:00.003-06:00

Not even a full month into the new year and already the newest internet craze has hit. This year the viral trend have been videos about what ppl say and they are all based off the "Shit Girls Say" video. Soon more videos began popping up about different "ppl". And "ppl" include but not limited to (rappers, black guys, white girls, asians, christians, republicans, Obama, etc.) So I thought about sharing a few of these that caught my eye

1. Shit Black Girls Say and Shit Black Guys Say

There should be a black version to everything; it's written in the constitution. But I thought Billy Sorrells did his thing in this short viral clip in which his character, "Peaches", goes through, allegedly, all the sayings of an everyday black girl.

This may be my second fav of all these videos since i say a good percentage of these lines. Ive never used the line about "your own eyes" but oh it will be used.

2. Shit Broke People Say

Video is funny as hell cuz its so fuckin true. Im addicted to dollar menus and figuring out cover charges. And i damn sure know about them overdraft fees!!

3. shit football fans say

Many ppl that know me , know how big of a Texans fan I am and Ive gone thru all these emotions and phrases for years. Well now that they made playoffs it means a few more weeks of goin thru those emotions and phrases.

4. What didnt you say?

So with all the videos tellin us what ppl say, the funniest videos in my opinion have been what ppl do not say.

I honestly have not heard many of these words come from a black person's mouth. But you have to check out part 2 of this video as well. Amazing ending!!

This is no doubt the funniest of all the videos ive watched. The skinny jeans bit in here is hilarious!!!

Playoffs?

2012-01-03T23:07:00.018-06:00

January has come back around for that ass and that doesnt jus mean its time for you to break New Year's resolutions (yo fat ass aint tryna walk). Nope!! It's NFL playoff time!!! This is where legends are born, stories are made, and commercials start getting a lil bit better. This year should prove no different with your mix of new teams and old favorites.

1. The New Guys

The NFL postseason has gotten a makeover this year that rivals the "playoff beard". As i mentioned, there are six new teams in the NFL playoffs this year. Only 2 of those teams (Houston, Detroit) have not had a posteseason berth in the past 10 years. Those same 2 teams also have starting quarterbacks making their postseaon debut as well as other new posteason teams: Houston with 5th round pick T.J. Yates; Cincinatti with the "red rifle" rookie Andy Dalton; Detroit's Matthew Stafford; San Francisco's long tim

e farter starter Alex Smith; and the media's cash cow known as Tim Tebow. By now a lot of football fans have heard Tebow's story of his professional career

and should be tuned in to see him take on the Steelers. Don't be surprised if Tebow Time becomes a broke Rolex.

2. Old Reliables

Congratulations if you picked the Steelers to make the playoffs this year, or the Patriots, or the Ravens, or the Saints. Woop de fuckin do. You should be as much a psychic as much as Kim Kardashian should lead marriage counseling. Unfortunately the Steelers had a very competitive division this year and a few rough spots (oh im sry, thas PR talk for got that ass spanked by Baltimore) so they ended up with a 5th seed. Nevertheless they are back with their Super Bowl opponent from last yr , Green Bay Packers. Packers have put up enough points and yards this yr to be relied upon to make playoffs next season also.

3. Hot Heads

In recent seasons, the "best" team has not really won the Super Bowl. When I say that I mean the No. 1 and 2 seed usually lose the Super Bowl or get beat in their conference's playoff by any of the lower seeds sometimes a 5 or a 6. Those lower seeds are usually on the brink of playoff elimination towards the end of the season and have to almost run the table to get in. Their "win or go home" mindset has been turned since before the season ended and usually it will allow them finish the season in the . This year that team is the Giants. This team is "hot" for the fact they were on the edge of being put out of the playoffs then they win their last 2 games to take the NFC East secure and a home playoff game. Hard to say whether or not Giants can even get to the Super Bowl, but when you have a quarterback whose last name is Manning, chances look better than everyone else.

NFL playoffs are always the shizzz and this year should be no different. Now back to your regulary scheduled boring life without me. holla black!!

Talkin Heat Shit: My Pep Talk for Lebron James

2011-05-31T19:06:00.003-05:00

Dear Lebron James:

This is it nigga!! The NBA Finals!! I aint got any stats for you, no gameplan, jus this bullshit pep talk. You made a bold ass decision to leave the place you grew up in all for this moment right here. And you had a right to. I aint gon discredit that. You wanted to get help as a Cleveland Cavalier to win a championship and they bring in Antwan Jamison. Hell if they brought in Antwan Jamison to Shipley Donuts i would stop eating donuts. But the point is this road has been a long and winding road. Think of the shit that has gone down since then. Your city hates you!! Yo mama got arrested!! Yall were being called overrated, crybabies, and counted out from winning the title even as recent at the beginning of the playoffs. Hell Bin Laden had a cap put in that ass. Thas some bad shit right? But look at what happened when it mattered. You beat the Sixers. You beat the champion favored Celtics in 5 games nonetheless. You beat the Chicago Bulls who were favored to beat you after the first game and after D Wade got dunked on. You figured out a way to win in clutch situations. But none of that shit will matter if you do not win this championship this year. Nothing at all. Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh (never really mattered anyway), tha pep rally, the decision will all go to waste if you do not get the ring. Think im tryna scare just look around. Everybody is gettin better: New York, New Jersey, Chicago. The Eastern Conference is gonna be what the Western conference was in the past decade. Before you know it, youre frm the bottom at the 8th seed wondering when am i gonna get my chance again? Well fuck that, go after the chance you have now. Fuck all the glitz glamour bullshit that ur usually associated and play some fuck in basketball. Make dunks, make 3's, get your assists up but most of all dont make sure people are watching but make sure they WITNESS!!!!

my prediction: Heat in 7. Holla Black

mission accomplished?

2011-05-03T20:30:00.001-05:00

this is my video reaction to the death of osama bin laden. enjoy!!

New Mixtape: "Too Fat for Skinny Jeans" to be released on December 2

2010-11-09T00:01:00.006-06:00

I would like to announce that my next mixtape will be titled: "Too Fat for Skinny Jeans" and is going to be released on my birthday, December 2 of this yr. My past 3 mixtapes have all had unique titles and has carried a significant meaning with each one. This "Too Fat" mixtape will aim to highlight my commitment to makin undergound in a true B-SimmS fashion. Not jus skinny jeans but hip hop has put out characteristics that try to develop into the mold for what artists should be and not who they are. But this title is my statement of saying lyrically I have too much weight to fit in the threads of conformity and if I do fit in them then I am goin to stretch those muthafuckas out. Production on the mixtape will include my homey B. Star and Sev Da Producer. It's jus about halfway done, so on December 2, dont put bday wishes on my wall, jus download my mixtape frm datpiff.com. lol. Thanks in advance guys!!! Holla Black!!! Peep some of the tracks at the bottom to hold you until the mixtape drop.
