remember when michael jackson was great? when he used to have video premieres on network television? when people used to faint at his concerts? i do. and that’s why i’m putting this up.

why is this picture so monumental? well, for one, there are the two best MJ’s in the world, playing one on one. sure, the little guy is about to get rocked by the best basketball player of all time (besides kobe bryant). his defensive stance is subpar at best, and those shoes aren’t even suitable for bowling. i don’t even think he’s looking at the ball. and he’s entirely too excited. he’s done for, just like gary coleman. but does it look like he cares? this is like the mid-90’s. he’s just happy to still be black, guys. after this game, he’s going home to a roller coaster ride with his buddy bubbles.

guys…that’s bubbles. the monkey. we shoulda known something was wrong when his best friend throughout his career was an animal. his first best friend was named ben, the mouse that he found in his house as a kid. his dad eventually killed it, as i found out in “the jacksons: an american dream” (on VH1 back in the day. you know you watched it!). he wrote a song about it, too.

and why didn’t more people praise the originality of his ad-libs? also, peep heavy d and kriss kross in the video below.

fact: my parents are somehow cool with heavy d, and when we had house parties back in the day, he would be the DJ. is that not insane?

i digress. download the joint here, because you know you didn’t have it in your iTunes.

oh boy. after paul pierce hits lebron with a hard but reasonable foul, gloria james, sitting courtside, decides to come at paul sideways.

lebron ain’t havin’ it. it went something like this:

if i ever told my mom to sit her ass down, i don’t think i’d live to see tomorrow. the least he could do was win that game after that. and he did. props to odenized for the clip. and look how blown paul pierce is in the picture! he’s furious. and KG’s all about having fun on the court, but he looks shook about 12 seconds deep into the video. gives bron bron the look like, “damn. i ain’t neva hit my mama wit that one before, son.”

and haven’t this year’s playoffs been amazing?

dc’s own marky, with a ferocious joint. sounds like a little prince-ish (you know, arguably the greatest artist of all time?) to me. a different sound than what i’ve heard of his before, but i dig it. shout out to the entire studio 43 family & entourage, cuz they all #*$& with the blog. interview coming soon…but for now, check him out on his myspace page to see what he’s all about. and if you didn’t know, he has signed to SRC/universal. more DMV talent in the industry. can we get some producers in there, too? i’m just saying.

killer, dude. everybody wrecks their verse. new beat is insane. can radio play it though!? i think so. too many stars on the joint not to. this is that C.R.S. that they’ve been talking about? crucial. and lupe talking about cocaine? interesting, to say the least! shout out to pocket full of paper, by the way! keep the blog up, barron (and co)!

top 5 emcees. i need everybody to comment & argue/co-sign with the list.

MTV’s thing for best MC in the game is ridiculous. how can styles p be leading with 22% of the vote? mind you, it’s 7:48 am on monday. things may change. but it should go like this:

yea, that’s right. that’s andre 3 stacks. then it goes lupe aka lupin the third, mr. dwayne carter aka birdman jr., your neighborhood pusha, and kanye, tip harris are tied. and bromwich told me that i forgot black thought (of the roots) in his comment, and he’s flippin’ right. that list is in no particular order. so it’s really like 7.

also, realize andre even put out a non-rap album, and it was impeccable. as well as all his other endeavors (animated tv show, clothing line, acting). get your old outkast cd’s out if you don’t co-sign. he’s always been ill. just ask nas vegas.

where’s the self-proclaimed greatest rapper alive, OG version? jay is retired in my book, so he’s no longer in the game. but he still fries people like it’s his job. make sure you pay close attention at 25 seconds in.

“you know better than that.” WOW.

i don’t buy it.

how? how can nick cannon, a man i grew up watching on nickelodeon, be the husband of mariah carey? and did you see that tattoo? that’s why i love home. cuz my mom gets people magazine, and i don’t miss things like this.

bottom left. look at his tattoo! what!? WHAT!? it says “mariah” in huge, funny looking font! i still can’t buy it. it’s gotta be some kinda publicity stunt. and $2.5 on a wedding ring? what did i tell you about that celeb lifestyle i’m craving? slim thug said, “just pay me money out the anus, i won’t do no complainin’.” they definitely $#!tted nick cannon out some cash somewhere during his career for him to throw money around like that. i feel like if i knew nick, we’d be tight as thieves (my mom says that phrase, i’m jacking it.) though. i’m just saying.

new judah track!

that’s how i feel. another planet. nobody’s mind works like mine, i feel.

two glow in the dark tours in two days. and all i saw was kanye each time. AND a hurricane/tornado each day. good grief. and def jam will kill me cuz i wasn’t even able to throw flyers around to people @ virginia beach. oh boy. and by the way, DC is like 30 times cooler than VA beach. that’s why nobody stays there anymore. that’s also why all the best music comes from there. missy. clipse. the neptunes. timbo. because there isn’t a damn cool thing about that place. and everybody is slum. now i know what UVA people mean when they get unhappy about the 757 “locals” frequenting their parties.

i’m bout to sleep. work in the AM. a few things though:

- what ever happened to haley joel osment? do we realize how great he was in the sixth sense?

- is DMX ok? he is 37 going on 60. he looks older than my grandpa in his two (1, 2) recent mugshots, from this month. drugs, speeding, and michael vick’ing his dogs. dag, man. looks like 5-0 threw him around a little bit, too. i heard he went down like a G, though. if that means anything.

- how did anyone convince sacha baron cohen to make that naked wrestling scene in borat ?

- does anyone purchase anything hip-hop related besides tickets to shows? i doubt it. that’s why everybody has a clothing label, a book label, some type of label. i’m late, but i still realize it.

- is tabi bonney the flyest guy on the map or what?

and what happened to all the supa hair he had!? tabi, send me music! PLEASE! click on the pic to hear what he’s blessed the world with so far. and i feel like he’s wearing all his own clothes.

i realized earlier today that i want to live like a celeb. with a celeb status wifey, but like, in tune to the real world. like she doesn’t need high profile events to have a good time. she likes family and friends more. that’s how i feel j. lo is for some reason. when i live that life, i will purposely not respond to the texts i get from people i used to text who never responded when i needed them to.

i bet i don’t wear a suit unless it’s by choice, either.

good night.
