5. mr. t. 

his beard wasn’t anything to write home about, and i can safely admit that. but the hawk? oh, the hawk. that thing was a piece of work. extra points for the facial expression.

4. kimbo slice

this man’s hair is so impressive, i decided to throw up two pictures. Continue reading ‘top 5 beard/facial hair combos in pop culture.’

this list isn’t really the 5 greatest underdogs of all time. but it’s how i’m feeling right now.

5. daniel larusso, bka daniel-san, from karate kid I - III and forrest gump, from forrest gump (tie). any scrawny kid who makes the cross country trip to the left coast, bags a dime piece for his wifey, and beats up the bad guy at the end is a star to me. RIP mr. myiagi. i actually teared up when i read about his death. and who didn’t hate on forrest? he had worse luck in his life than michael jordan in vegas, and still made it out alive. incredible story. shout out to lieutenant dan.

4. stephen curry, shooting guard for the davidson wildcats. i didn’t know who this guy was until i saw this year’s NCAA tourney games. his swag is impeccable. he’s humble. he did things i didn’t even think were possible for a guy his size, and he took an unknown team farther than anybody else would have thought. his wikipedia entry does him justice, but his youtube highlights are just bonkers. nobody should be able to legally hit 3’s from that deep. that’s like, abyss deep.

3. the guy in “…and he gets the girl” by lupe fiasco. just listen, and you’ll co-sign.

2. barack obama, illinois senator and leading democratic candidate for president, ‘08-’12. if you frequent the blog, you’ve seen some of the many haters and doubters he’s got. and who would of thought it, huh. grew up with no father. dabbled in the party life as a teen. took a chill pill, got his life together, and started making power moves. he’s (relatively) young, black, and living in america. odds against him like sh!t. but his willpower, his infectious personality, and his charisma puts him in the lead. he all but bumped hillary out of the picture. plus, the man can BALL! and he recently stopped smoking, too. great work, sir.

1. rocky, from rocky I - V & rocky balboa. nobody believed, except him, pauly, and adrian. and he came through in the clutch. sometimes, even when you lose, you win. the movie poster for the oscar-winning original hung in the middle of my dorm room last year.

i need feedback from the peanut gallery. throw some more names out there, and i’ll let you know how i feel about them. i know i’m missing some, so don’t chastise. just add to the list.

p.s.: nostalgic picture, huh. who used to watch this show besides me?

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.
