     Apparently everyone hasn’t aged as well as me. Yesterday was my 25th birthday (thank you, thank you), and I have to admit, I’m still a work in progress. I continuously question my actions, opinions, motivation, and morals, whatever, whatever. Nobody is perfect, but you can always chase perfection. I got offers for all sorts of things, and to go all sorts of places, but truthfully I don’t really care for too much. Give me a couple Polos and some Polo cologne and I’m straight. I believe making it to see another year with all the bs I’ve been through is good enough. Another day, another chance to improve. However, (there’s always a however) I’ve noticed some other people don’t have the same outlook. Recently I’ve noticed that as SOME people have gotten older, they’re still childish as hell. Maybe the youth isn’t wasted on the young after all.

            So Ice T tells Souljah Boy to suck his dick, huh? Yea, I know, I DID spend most of last year criticizing the young Mr. Tellem’s version of hip hop. I admitted to my wrongness (surprisingly, Word didn’t mark that last word as wrong) like last month. Dude is a kid, if he makes garbage music and somehow somebody likes it and he makes some paper, more power to him. I won’t support that garbage, but hey, to each his own. After all, I don’t see people dissing Hannah Montana, so fuck it. One thing I didn’t do however was tell the boy to suck my dick. Really Ice T? The cop killer is telling little kids to suck his dick. This shit was completely, absolutely, WRONG. Dude, how old are you? I hate to agree with someone with the word “Boy” in their name, as much as I hated to somewhat agree with Nelly when he got into it with KRS, but dude was right. How are you a legend in the game, yet your telling little kids to suck your dick? Grow the fuck up. I know, I know, you’re mad your acting career didn’t blow up after New Jack City. ( I can see how you would expect it to…sike) I know, I know, you don’t get the respect for having a chick with one of the biggest asses out there (probably because it’s fake…but that’s just what I heard), I understand you feel it’s wrong you don’t get the respect as being one the godfathers of gangster rap like Dr. Dre when dude is fake as your girls cakes, but come on Ice T! You are now definitely my second favorite dude with Ice in your name with a large gap between you and Cube, who holds my number one spot. (Cube makes movies for kids, Ice T invites them to his penis)

               Yea, the Lakers got they ass beat. With the effort they put up in that last game, they got what they deserve. It’s a lot easier to support a team when they get their ass beat by a team that’s WAY better than them then it is to support a team that got their ass beat by a team they may be better than them, but not by much. It’s all good, KG got his ring, and Pierce (CA all day) got his too. I just wish they could have played San Antonio in the finals, cuz then I would have loved to support Boston. The Lakers were definitely missing the inside support they would have gotten from Andrew Bynum. Bynum would have brought something Shaq at his age, couldn’t dream to have brought. I know you guys heard the freestyle…I haven’t. Why? I saw what he said….and he’s fucking nuts. Kobe couldn’t do it without Shaq last week? Way back in the first round, Shaq couldn’t do it without Kobe. The Suns lost to the same team the Lakers beat in the Western Conference finals…in the first round. Shaq couldn’t win without Kobe when he was with the Lakers. “Oh, he won with Miami…” He went from Kobe to Dwayne Wade, another one of the best players in the league. Both players needed each other. ..back then. However, now, Shaq couldn’t provide anywhere near the help the Lakers needed getting beat by 39 to the Celtics. After the freestyle, Shaq calls Stephen A Smith and says “It wasn’t anything serious, it was freestyle, I’m cool with Kobe. This is what emcees do,”….really nigga? Maybe I should do a freestyle calling out people for taking my blog titles, and then AIM my dude Meka and say, “Hey Meka, tell everybody I was just joking about what I said about dude. I’m cool with that dude who bit my shit, It’s a freestyle, nothing serious, that’s what emcees do,” Since, even though dude dropped albums, I have as much of a claim to the title emcee as Shaq does. Shaq tried to say it’s Kobe’s fault he got divorced. Word? Nah nigga, you got divorced because you cheated with a bitch that writes books. You got divorced because the personal trainer was laying the pipe better than you. You got divorced because you leave the bed covered in sweat after you attempt to put in work (or so says Superhead). But hey, as my dude told me after I talked shit cuz he was supporting the Celtics after they won the finals, if that’s gonna help you sleep at night. I’m not gonna defend Kobe’s character. Truthfully, I don’t know dude. Early on in his career he did come off as an asshole. He seems like a better person now, like maybe’s he been humbled, maybe not. Maybe he is an asshole. What I do know is the Lakers would not have won with Shaq, and dude can’t blame Kobe for his divorce. Man up nigga. You gonna get mad at someone for speaking out on you…when you’re an honorary sheriff….or at least you were

            I know I’ve been absent for awhile, my computer felt sympathetic for me. I was sick, so my computer got a virus. When I got better…my computer didn’t. Now that I’ve pirated all the software the Geek Squad would have charged 200 to fix my computer, maybe I can be back here more often, in the meantime…peace.

How 'bout them Lakers

June 05, 2008 | Tags: none

First of all, if you've been under a rock, you'll soon have your chance to vote for Obama for President, since he's done finishing off Hillary. I know Tracy Flick Hillary Clinton wanted to win so bad, but sorry.....go back and wash those dishes. (Just joking, I was raised by my momma....)

So yea, the Lakers will be playing in Boston for game 1 of the NBA finals 2morrow. I know you've all been hit with millions of different takes on Lakers Vs Boston, Phil Vs Red, Paul Vs his old hometown, MVP vs an MVP runner up, Kid who skipped college Vs Kid who skipped College, Ray Allen Vs Denzel Washington, so I'm not gonna bore you down with that shit. Really, I just wanted to say I got Lakers in 6 or less, but most likely 6. I know cats are gonna say "You just rolling with the Lakers because your from L.A.". Actually, Paul Pierce is my dude. I wish I still had my Pierce Inglewood high jersey. I'm also a big fan of Garnett, and ACTUALLY, when the Lakers went on that run winning those championships not too long ago, I couldn't stand them Why?

1. Bandwagon fans

Los Angeles has some of the most wishy washy fans. They love you when your on top. When they're winning, Lakers flags are everywhere, when their getting knocked out in the first round, nobody gives a shit. I lived out in Tampa FL for a year, those Bucs flags fly all year long.

2. They got rid of my boys

Once Lakers got rid of Eddie Jones and Nick Van Excel, I couldn't give less of a shit. Nick was the man. The Lakers haven't had a point guard since Nick Van Excel. Eddie was vicious on offense and defense. Yea, he didn't average the same numbers in the playoffs he did in the season, but it's not like he did a Ray Allen.

3. Fuck a Kobe Bryant

I couldn't stand Kobe. How you gonna think your all that and air ball in the playoffs? Who the hell does this kid think he is? Why the hell is he trying to rap...stop it

4. Fuck a Shaq

Hakeem schooled Shaq. If it wasn't for Hakeem tapping that ass, Shaq would have never worked on his footwork. Why? Cuz he's lazy, he's only gonna do what he feels he has too. Nothing more, but maybe alot less. I can't relate to that. If someone said, "Brillyance, we're gonna give you a gang of money to play basketball", please believe I'd be working on my game at least 6 hours a day. Why not? Your getting paid big bucks, and most muthafuckas gotta work 8 hours a day and your making money they could only dream off.

After Shaq left, the badwagon fans left also. Kobe went through several humbling experiences, and eventually, Nick got old and retired and Eddie Jones got washed up. No longer were sports bars packed with people who probably never watched basketball before just watching because people at their job thought it'd be cool to watch a Laker game. That's when I went back to supporting MY (as opposed to all of L.A.s) favorite team.

Yea, I know what your thinking, aren't the badwagon fans back? Yea, and it seems worse then before. Oh well, I'm not dropping the team this time. If somehow they Lakers got swept, when all the bandwagon fans leave, I'd still be more likely to be seen in a Kobe jersey early next year than any other one.

Lakers in six, cuz like Kobe said before, Ray Allen's name shouldn't even be spoken in the same sentence as his. Therefore Ray Allen can never be a champion.

All this bullshit during my absence

June 03, 2008 | Tags: none

I’ve found myself either extremely sick or extremely busy during the past two weeks. Not like it takes much to throw a blog up, it’s just when your extremely sick, working overtime, trying to catch the Laker game, trying to get in quality time with your girl, your family, get some decent gaming time in, and put a blog up, sometimes shit gets a little hectic. Shit, blogging isn’t the only thing that’s missed out, I’ve even pretty much been a non-gamer as of late. (Cuz I’m not skipping out on anything else). I mean, I should have been the first person to beat GTA 4, considering I had the shit early, (YES!! © Marv Albert) yet I haven’t (Probably because I’ve been playing more Fifa 08). Last week my big brother came home off a 6 year bid. I had to drive him around the city and show him how much the city has changed, catch up on old shit, eat on Sundays at my sister’s house, and laugh at stories from behind the walls. It’s so easy to laugh at that shit once someone comes home…it’s not too funny while their still there. My brother was shocked at how these youngin’s dress nowadays. Shit I STILL am. During my absence though, a lot of bullshit has been going on in the hip hop world….so let’s rewind shall we…

1. Suge Knight got knocked the fuck out

No real surprise hear. I knew this would happen eventually. Of course dude has been paraded around as some type of hero who has slain the town giant. I don’t know if anybody has noticed this, but when the story was first reported, they said dude hit Suge with a big piece of wood or some shit. So basically, he knocked him out with some big hard object…that’s not that amazing. Shit, if I hit somebody with a bat, I better knock them out. Dude acted like he really did something. Tsk, Tsk. I’m not the biggest fan, but if you're gonna celebrate knocking somebody out, you should do it with your fist, and do it face to face, don’t sneak attack with a Sammy Sosa corked bat.

2. Some Dip Set Bum is one of America’s most wanted

Here you go Bmore, ya boy Jim Jones is at an all time high as far as his street cred will ever go. Allegedly, this bum whose name I can’t remember and refuse to look up, shot some little kid for selling bootleg Dip Set CDs. He didn’t shoot him JUST for selling the CDs, he shot him because they jumped dude and he buck 50’d the dip set bum. If the Dip Set shot someone every time they got fucked up, New York would have a lot smaller population. Why dude shoot some kid for cutting his face when they jumped him, but nobody got shot for all the times Jenny Jones got his chain snatched? Why hasn’t little Cee’s been popped at. (other than when Capone and them did). Some Mixtape DJ (Fuck mixtape Djs) should come out with a “Child Abuser’s” mixtape featuring Dip Set and G-Unit.

3. The top 10 hottest emcees…yeah right

Hmmmm. Ok, let me start by saying, I knew this wasn’t about talent, however I figured it was never about talent, not that it was not about talent when they found it convenient. I have to admit, before I got sick, I was considering doing a blog about how I was wrong for trash talking Soldier Boy all last year, considering dude was only 16. At that age, if he’s acting like a coon, it’s his parents fault, and at the same time, he did hustle himself to a spot a lot of vets and other grown men can’t get to nowadays…platinum. I still won’t fuck with his music. However, after my revelation, I seen this bullshit list. How you gonna not put dude on the list of 10 hottest emcees (especially since he was one of like 3 or 4 rappers to go platinum), then put Rick Ross at 4? Buddaman (what kind of fucking name is that, and why does he look like the singing chick from Floetry?) accused the team of being “elitist” for not including Soldier boy, yet the turn right around and include Rick Ross on the list? Ok, ok, Rick Ross did have an album out, but Jeezy made the list and he didn’t have shit out but a verse with Ursher…WTF. Did anybody else catch that one dude said Lupe first album was all butterflies and rainbows? Look, you don’t have to like what I like. I understand some people don’t like Lupe, and want more street shit, but if you claiming to be something hip hop affiliated/related some shit, how the you gonna say Lupe first album was all butterflies and rainbows? Did he even listen to Lupe’s first album? I doubt it. Did anybody else notice the titles of the people on the show? With the exception of Sway (who was just a host and for most of the time looked like he felt out of place) only one other person on the show was from somewhere other than MTV, and the people from MTV had bullshit titles. They had their news specialist on there, and this muthafucka had the nerve to say Lil Wayne was better lyrically and more creative than Jay Z….WTF. (More on Weezy later)

4. Mazzi vs Mic Terror…who the fuck are you guys?

This shit was hilarious…well, at least the part of it I saw. So, based off what I saw, some hipster rapper dissed some cat for wearing one of those middle eastern scarf things. OK, first of all, rocking religious garments with no affiliation to the religion because of fashion=whack. You outta at least have SOME kind of connect to the religion or some shit. What if I just started rocking one of those jewish hats on my head and called it style? Well first of all, people would probably try to call for my job spot to speak my shit, saying I dissed their religion, besides that it would seem sort of whack,mainly because it hasn’t been declared a fashion trend, but then again if next year the new fad was hip hop fags, you’d see a lot of these thug niggas in drag © Ras Kass. So, apparently Mazzi or whatever his name is, actually is of Middle eastern descent (I don’t want to label dude one thing when he’s something else and a lot of those factions don’t get along, so I’ll just say Middle eastern descent), he gets heated and he starts beefing with the hipster Mic Terror. He end up calling dude up (allegedly) and dude (Mic Terror) backs down and said he did it all for publicity. Word? I thought if you wanted publicity you diss someone with fame? (ala, Shorty Lo…more on that later) Then, Mazzi comes with a video with a bunch of people in it, dissing dude and pretending to squeeze triggers on guns that aren’t there. They even had the camera beat down scene the Roots made fun of in the “What they Do” video. Lames! To end it all, they had a dude at the end of the video basically explaining that the garment has meaning to it, and it’s not right to talk about somebody and something you know nothing about. Why didn’t they just do this in the first place, instead of emptying all their imaginary bullets into the camera? This is probably the last time you’ll hear either of these cats mentioned, and definitely the last you’ll hear of them from me.

5.Shawty Lo Vs TI….how?

Ok, so Shawty Lo tells a man who’s on house arrest to come meet him in the hood and they’ll go at it. WOW, HARDCORE ALERT. This is like the dude who beefs with someone, and then, after that someone catches a charge and goes to jail, he rolls around the hood telling people he WOULD’VE fucked that nigga up, had he not been in jail. Not that I’m gonna debate whether or not TI I is more street than Shawty Lo…wait. Ignorance is the language of the street, and although he’s in a pretty high position in the hip hop game (as far as non-tall Isrealis go) TI has done a lot of ignorant shit. Shawty Lo was a member of the group that dropped “Laffy Taffy”…..I’m not gonna go there. At the end of the day, I don’t know either one of these people personally, so I’ll leave it alone, however, this was an extremely bitch move. It has a strong scent of uber bitchassness to it.

6.Nas changes Nigger…

Nas changed the album title. At first I was a little upset. Yea, I know, I called naming the album “Nigger” bullshit cuz I viewed it as a ploy to get attention. However, as the album got closer to dropping and more details leaked, I started to see that he ACTUALLY intended on making an album revolving around the title. When he changed the title I could hear the instrumental to 50 Cent’s “Back Down” playing in the background. Then after I really thought about it, I guess he had to considering Best Buy and other retail outlets would probably refuse to carry it. As long as he doesn’t change the content of the album, I’m cool with it. That album cover is SOMEWHAT of an attempt to make a statement, I mean, it’s not like the original cover to Dead Prez’s “Let’s get Free”, but, I guess it will do.

9.Fuck Mixtape DJ’s

I have to roll with Weezy and Meka on this one….FUCK MIXTAPE DJs. Half of these dudes aren’t fucking DJ’s, and 95% of mixtapes are bullshit (unless of course it’s a mixtape about nothing…more on that later). I couldn’t less of a fuck about some mixtape entitled Blood, Sweat and Tears featuring Lil Wayne, Game and Jim Jones, by DJ suck balls. Those damn artists weren’t a part of that shit, so why should I care. If you're gonna do a mixtape without the artists consent, do some shit. Mix the artists vocals with backgrounds from Van Halen or some shit, don’t give me a bunch of songs I could have gotten myself and then throw your annoying ass voice over the mixtape. Oh yea, and half of you muthafuckas can’t scratch either, this is Hip Hop, learn how to fucking scratch before you throw the DJ in front of your bullshit ass name…you rat bastards. Half of these DJ’s talk too tough also. I don’t know what’s worse, R&B thugs, or DJ bust a clip. Much respect to Doo Wop, and Tony Touch, and a few others, but the rest of ya’ll should’ve retired before you started.

8. The Carter leaks like a Styrofoam cup with a hole in it

I really hope Meka Soul comes and bashes this shit tomorrow, but then again, he probably didn’t take the time to attempt to listen to it. Let me start off by saying I really liked the Carter 2. I stuck up for dude a lot when people had all sorts of shit to say. I ignored the bullshit he dropped on the mixtapes because I knew they were just mixtapes…and you seen my opinion of mixtapes on #9…but this shit right here nigga…this shit right here nigga…basically let me break it down

Anything from Shawn Carter>>>>>>>>>>>Carter 2>>>>>>Vince Carter>>>>>>Chris Tucker’s character in Rush Hour, officer Carter>>>>>>>>>>That movie “Get Carter” (which I never saw but I just figured it’d be interesting to include)>>>>>>>Being a resident of the Carter from New Jack City>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Carter 3>>>>>>The Carter

This albums moments are few and far between. “Shoot Me Down” or whatever is dope, “Dr. Carter” is cool, “Mr. Carter” is cool….but the rest ehhhhhhh. I was seriously let down. I know everybody is on that. Why was he the 2nd Carter to speak about Katrina (don’t bring up that garbage ass Georgia Bush song) when he’s the one from New Orleans? This is hella late fam. Misunderstood….that sample was just used recently and the song that accompanied it was a whole lot better. I hope he omits that long rant he had at the end…cuz the drugs have definitely got the best rest of his mind. Can somebody explain to me how dude is a Martian from planet Weezy? I thought Martians were from Mars. Either I need more Kush in my life, my chronic needs to be puffed before sipping syrup, or this album is pretty much a waste. He should have just dropped a five song EP with “I’m Me”, “Gossip” and the 3 songs listed above. That would’ve shown Wayne at his best, which is extremely good, him on average…ehhhhhh.

I had to hold off on 7 for something that was actually good

7. All of a sudden I might want to watch Seinfield….

Is that how it’s spelled? Who cares, “The Mixtape About Nothing” is a glimpse at what hip hop still has to offer. Amanda has tried forcing dude on us, but truthfully, if an artist isn’t from out west (ala Blu, Somobe, etc. etc.) it normally takes me a hot second to give them a chance. Shit I just started listening to Jay Electronica like last week. Wale>>>Jay Electronica (and for the record, they’re both dope). I have very few mixtapes on my Zune , and “The Mixtape About Nothing” by Wale is definitely one of them. Don’t believe it’s dope? Shit, download it. It’s free and damn near everywhere. You can always hit up 2 dope boyz in a blog for it. Ms Bassa listed a download link for it in her last blog. Don’t sleep on it cuz sleep is the cousin of death.

The mixtape about nothing>>>>>>>The Carter 3

Catch dude at Rock the Bells (Wale that is)

On that note, I'm out. I am now caught up with all the bullshit from the hip hop world (or at least enough of it).
