Wayne's World

I'm a fallout boy, need a stand up girl...

Wayne is back from gettin locked up in AZ. He's mad at his crew for one reason or another, peep the vid here.

..I aint shoot at soldiers..

"I'm goin for the captain"

Plain and simple... Wes Welker was a beast this year for Bill Belichick's squad.. this is a great read about how he got here and where he came from..- undrafted? only 1 scholorship offer? damn what do scouts look for no a days?

Here another banger from the album..

Rain- feat. Facemob and Raheem Devaughn..

KCK Steezy

Snubbed

How did Brandon Roy not make the All-Star team as a starter? I hope he makes it at least as an alternate. This is why the fan votes suck in these games. They vote for their favorites instead of who's playin good ball. Garbage.

We No Limit Soldiers

I thought I told ya...

Say what you want about Master P now, but dude has so many cuts. Pure classic track from TRU- No Limit Soldiers.

DJ Mike B- blog

Still Spendin That Kriss Kross Money

I'm ya #1 fan, can ya write me back man??

When the talk of producers comes up I never hear anybody mention JD. Dude has made heaters for everyone under the sun in hip hop and R&B. Some classic tracks that I grew up on down below.

Kriss Kross- Alright I remember running home every day during the summer tryna catch this video on Rap City.

Da Brat- Give it to you this is classic JD right here. The Brat was slept on as far as female MC's even if JD was writing her rhymes.

Jon Phenom- blog sprinkled with fashion, music etc.

Reggie Bush after hearing that tape you're giving back the Heisman homie.

The Beatnuts- Stone Crazy

I watched Trainspotting last night after not seeing it in forever. Classic movie, what makes people wanna do heroin again?

3:10 to Yuma

And tell the cops I can buy my own bracelets

Everytime I Try and Leave...

"[Tribe] didn't sell 10 million records, so why would people think they had a blanket on the world like that? MC Hammer was way more popular to me than A Tribe Called Quest," he says. "Those hip-hop elitists who think [Tribe] hold the crown and the copyright to hip-hop ... I listen to 8Ball & MJG and I think they're better than [Tribe]."

Thank you, Lupe Fiasco. Thank you, so much. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for an artist to speak the truth. Finally someone isnt afraid to just say what they feel.

Hip Hop is not dead, but hip hop elitists are trying to kill it. I cant tell you how many times I have heard people use the term "Real Hip Hop". Then spout off some self righteous bullshit about their musical taste. can someone please explain to me exactly what is "real hip hop" cause last time I checked, hip hop was just another form of expression.

Music is just another medium for people to express themselves, just like Movies and Literature. But for some reason people act like Hip Hop transcends all that and that it has to conform to some mythical "real" guideline.

Lupe spoke about something that bothers me alot. People have these ideas, that if you dont like so and so, then you dont have good taste. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT LIKE GURU? I mean is it so hard to believe that maybe someone has a different preference on what they like? Nick D will tell you, I'm a huge Project Pat fan. But am I flabergasted when someone tells me they think he is garbage? no not at all, cause people are talking about his style more than anything.

Alright Im done, I just read Lupe and he touched my heart. Bottom line... Bump what you like, and dont feel pressure to listen to MF Doom if deep down you feel like getting crunk.

..I'm nothin like you..

Over the weekend, made another trip to Tokyo, the Fam came to visit so I had to show 'em around Tokyo.. ^^Shinjuku^^

If you ever have time in Tokyo, don't sleep on ^^Asakusa- great place for tourist- and the Temple's were ill.. also picked up a dope Samurai Sword to add to my Japanese collection.

This pic is from last weekend, we had a game down in ^^Okinawa.. weather is like Hawaii.. I need to move here asap, Sendai is hella cold..

I only have 3 more months and i'm out!!!!!!!

Flashing Lights

N.E.R.D - Everyone Nose

I'm not even gonna judge the new track. Any new NERD is a bonus for me. I hope this project gets a tour and more then 1 video. In search of....is a personal classic and Fly or Die wasnt a bad album. I'm hoping for the best for this album.

Nigga Please...

I Cant Sleep

Meet Jay Biz

Jay Biz is family to the fullest extent. I took a trip to DC a few months ago for the Cmonwealth opening party. One of the coolest, down to earth cats I know. Jay came out to AZ for a wedding and I think he met the entire town. If youre in the "urea" stop by Cmonwealth and Jay Biz will keep you fresh. Stay tuned for the official Jay Biz interview.

The Smoothie shop is a dope idea.


Knowledge...

Sidenote: Jay Biz next time I'm in DC I need to meet Mary.

King Of The White Girls

"u need to make the next move yo best move"

January week 2 is over and you ain't heard? They found Bobby Fischer.
Still suited up with Lupe in the deck and this one's for the necktie men...

Everybody grinds.

On the court, on the corner, in the classroom, at the shop, or if you're like me, you hustle everyday, prairie dogging on a cube farm.

I've got a boss with a mean rep and on top of that she's a salad dodger so she capitalizes the second letter in the alphabet to the maximum.

But in something corporate, you work under an umbrella, and you need to pay someone that's been in the game longer than you, respect that is due.

I'm talking about even your seagull managers that fly through, make a lot of noise, shit on everything, and leave.

Remember they're not your future, but a mere part of your past and believe it or not sat exactly where you're at one point so don't let them front on you.

Shout out to those doing what they love.
Respect to those doing what they hate.

As for the rest of us, as ambitious as you are, be equally patient.
You can only enjoy life when you're happy to be alive.

Drive slow homie.

And if you don't already know, Happy Birthday Kellen.
You are a trendsetter and an inspiration to everyone round you.

Cali Iz Active

Took a trip out to Cali for my boy's bachelor party. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Thank you San Diego.

Nas- Surving the Times

So now when college football coaches leave, they destroy all their files? Can't blame em if you do dirt cover your tracks.

A Day in Alife

Ron Paul- "I'm not a Racist"

I don't really know what to take from all this racist talk. He sounded guilty to me... But what should I expect him to sound like when hes being accused of a statement like this?? Maybe he is a racist? But does this take away from the fact that he is the best candidate to restore our country??

..Why did you doubt me?

Freshness Mag has the first look at the new Jordan XX3's-- That's "23's" for you knuckleheads.. Obviously the number 23 has huge significance.. and from the first look at the shoe.. I have to say.. its kinda fresh (not a classic)... considering, the last 7 or 8 years have been starbury-ish. I haven't really got down with J's since the XIV's--the XX's were ehh?? Of course he will never be able to make another III, IV, and so on.. and if you even expect that your foolin yourself.. I'm defiantly gonna cop just off GP.. and these will be on my feet this summer, and not on ice...

At any rate.. The limited edition first colorway drops Jan 28th for $230-- and my order will be in.. Mike get at me with that 40% off..

And if you haven't noticed we got a new author to the site.. my man Jaheo.. the bul is smooth with his writing skills, and its great addition to the team...

Just Like Tisha Did Martin

Now me and momma got a lot in common, we both like Common but we dont buy his albums...

As long as I can remember dudes always brought their work to the gym. I dont know why, to stunt in front of yer homies? Personally if I'm playin ball the last thing on my mind is some work. But thats where we differ I guess. As of late this has shown up in pro sports. Think Tony Romo/Jessica Simpson, which ended in a loss for the Cowboys.

The latest victim was Raptors perennial All-Star Chris Bosh on Sunday night. His cousin and girlfriend were front row talkin shit to Lebron who wasnt having his best game. Fellas, she can come to the game but draw the line somewhere. What if this had been a playoff game? Wouldnt be so funny to the Raptors if that were the case.

Dewitz, your dude had a career night against Denver.

Put Me On A-Ron!

T-O-N-Y invade NY, multiply kill a cop...

The Berrics

Robots and skateboards nigga?!?!

The Berrics is that new spot. Having your own indoor skatepark in downtown LA is so serious. Everyone from Ricky Webb to Guy Mariano has been through there since it opened.

Canten el coro
