Purple Sector…

This is one of the hardest jams ever. The beat doesn’t say as much, but darnit, it’s MOP we’re talking about. RIP Jay Dee, MOP, we need something new sans the G-Unit influence. Dig it, and try not to slap any loved ones.

This is quietly becoming one of my favorite songs ever. The beat is so smooth, Babyface is infectious, Weezy is equal parts lyrically deft and swagified. It’s the perfect chill/RnB Hip-Hop cut. Peep it.

Here are some new pretty fresh skytops coming out just to look out for. They are supposed to be coming out this friday so check em out. While yes we all know supras have blown up since weezy started wearing them, they are still fresh, and one of the most comforatable sneakers out there.

Ok I know I sound like a groupie, but it really love it when artists actually acknowledge their samples and history of their music. I just believe that people should be educated in the art of the sample and know their roots. As soon as I heard Universal mind control, Bambaataa popped into my head. Ok thats enough of me ranting about what people should know. Enjoy.

DOPE. PEEP. ITUNES ONLY.

I, like most Americans, like many things and hate many others. hated things seem to outnumber things I enjoy, or at the very least do NOT hate, almost three to one. What do I hate? GLAD YOU ASKED!

Jeff Dunham is absolutely, positively, 100% NOT FUNNY. He’s not. Don’t try justifying the fact that he’s getting recognition. Ventriloquism sucks. He’s not at all funny. None of his characters are original or inspired, the Walter one is even a tad racist, I’m watching it right now. The Christmas special is worse than Soul Plane.

Black media sucks big ones. DL Hughley’s show? Decent, they should just let him do his own writing. The Chocolate News? It has potential. Other than that? Here’s the thought processes behind them:

Hey y’all, let’s take a successful white show, and make it for niggas. Nobody will know, and niggas will watch, cuz niggas will watch anything u tell em to!
OR
Hey. let’s take these commonly accepted and utilized stereotypes and ACT UPON THEM under the guise of a situational comedy or half-assed done movie, and sell it to people. Cuz Niggas will buy anything niggas is sellin to otha niggas!

Katt Williams is not funny. He was funny as Money Mike, not funny in Soul Plane, and his stand-up has its flashes. Michael Jackson, white kids on leashes, Hustlin’, those were good. Black America, it’s time to put the permed pimp to pasture. He’s not friggin funny.

Stop rocking fake shoes and gear. We know, we see, and even if we big you up to your face, we clown you when you leave. If you do rock it, just let us know that YOU KNOW it’s fake. I won’t lie, if I need shoes to play ball in, and I don’t want to rock any fresh Js, I’ll go to the flea market and cop some fake IVs, but when people ask me where I got them, I LET THEM KNOW.

Stop being so elitist about ish. Just because you were up on it before it got big doesn’t give you the right to hate on people who just caught on. You won’t believe how much hate I catch when I say I’ve only been up on MIA since Kala. Just because I hadn’t heard Piracy Funds Terrorism, doesn’t make me a poser. Just because flashing lights was the best song on the album and you got it the day it dropped doesn’t mean everyone else who waited can’t dig it as much as us. And just because you waited in line for your steps the day they dropped for 6 hours in the Dust Bowl and I got mine off Flight Club doesn’t make mine any less fresh.

No Homo? Instead of No Homo, just don’t say ish that could be interpreted as gay. That’s it. If I think people will look at me weird when I say “Your Butt looks mad sexy in those backless chaps” to my male friend, I don’t. Why? Two reasons. 1= I DON’T THINK THAT. 2= Even if I did, I would let it slide. Why are you thinking, and then being so anxious to say things that sound Homo? Hmmmm?

P.S. Pause is still alright in my book.

Women keep your breasts in your shirt. If i wanna see breasts, there are plenty other ways to go about it besides….well, walking anywhere women are. It devalues the breast. Don’t do that to us OR yourselves. I don’t want to treat headlights like I do Vans Sneakers, with a casual “oh, those are kind of nice.” whenever I see an otherwise decent set. If I never saw a van, and then saw a decent one, I’d be like “OMGIH DID YOU SEE THOSE VANS! I WANT THOSE!” You smell me? If you don’t want guys to treat you like some bust-down, STOP DRESSING LIKE A BUST-DOWN.

Guys, be a bit more tactful when other guys are around. You make it hard for the rest of us. Some of us make sure we look nice, smell nice, and are dressed to impress whenever we step out of the house, save for gym time. We brush teeth and hair, LOTION, and don’t wear the same shirt the rest of the block owns. When we see a fly girl, we don’t want to make steps towards her, only to be cut off by some foul smelling, straight-outta-some-low-bu

CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) — He has thrilled sports fans for over twenty years
with his hitting and fielding exploits. But can Major League baseball star Ken
Griffey, Jr. hit a grand slam for the State Department?Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice named Griffey a public diplomacy
envoy Tuesday, tasking the All-Star slugger with spreading “the values of the
United States” in large part by helping to spark “interest in America and in
our culture.”

“Public diplomacy must be a dialogue,” Rice said after meeting with
Griffey in Washington. “This dialogue must extend to every citizen in every
country, especially to young people.”

She noted that Griffey is uniquely qualified to engage young people given
his stature as one of the best-known players in what is arguably the country’s
most famous sport.

“This is quite an honor,” Griffey noted. “I think youth is the most
important thing. (I am) looking forward to this opportunity to teach kids (and
help) develop them.”

Former baseball star Cal Ripken Jr., figure-skater Michelle Kwan and
actress Fran Drescher have also chosen to become public diplomacy envoys in
recent years.

Griffey’s first trip as a diplomatic envoy will be to Panama in January.

Griffey, who turns 39 on November 21, recently filed for free agency
after the Chicago White Sox declined a $16.5 million option on his 2009
contract. He was first drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 1987.

Griffey is currently ranked number five on the all-time homerun leader
list. He won ten consecutive Gold Glove awards between 1990 and 2000.

This guy was everyone’s idol who wanted to play baseball where I grew up. Kids used to rock his cleats like shoes, they were that fresh. Outside of MJ, this guy had more fans and followers than anyone. If he stayed healthy, we wouldn’t care about Bonds, he’d have hit 800 homers. Yeah, I said 800. Congrats, Kid Griffey.

My girlfriend thinks I’m gonna post her gifts…….SIKE!

Cop #1: Spongebob BAPE Roadstas

I fall in and out of love with BAPE. I look and am amazed by the colors and caught up in my unwavering love of anything patent leather, only to see it faked a million times, and see someone rocking a beat pair of a model I’d kill to have on the subway, and then we part ways. it’s a vicious cycle. But whenever I come back, I have to break the bank. It’s just making up for lost time, you see. These are no exception. Yellow and Brown? SpongeBob SquarePants? COUNT ME IN!

Cop #2: 24 Hour Television x Bape Tee

I jacked Dan from Bodega’s steez on this one, HEAVY. i saw him with the 24 Hour radio in yellow and had to have one of my own, except i like this one better. And, it’s for charity. Massaging my growing materialistic ways and helping some people do some good deed?! Two birds with one stone, my friends.

Cop #3: Polka Dot Bapestas

Polka dots. Anyone who’s seen me in person can recount my profund love of and connection with polka dots. I may write my dissertation on them, it’s that major, folks. I dang near shed a tear when I saw these without a home. And then I gave them one.

Come to Papa, you sexy, sexy little things.

And now for something totally different.

I was listening to this while typing. it’s a classic. Peep some old Jay.

can you believe this is a painting? This is so dope. Im gonna need to step my game up.
