in my mind.
i kid you not. the entire joint is in DCtoBC’s patented HD (hella dope) quality. you know you’ve been looking for this for a few years.
includes everything from the live concert scenes to the part where he runs away from the crazy fans and battles the rabbit to the actual movie. a classic. i invite you to relive your childhood here for the next 88 minutes. spread the word, please.
this is crazy! marcel was watching this in the room, and i dissed it. then i came over and started watching too. and tyra sucks when she imitates other people, or does her voices or whatever. but her staff that develops her actual programming for the show is incredible. this is crazy. the first girl is black, but she hates black people. and thinks she’s white. you need to watch.
i’m saying it again. THE FIRST GIRL IS INSANE! as are the rest of them!
apparently, the washington wizards (seemingly permanently injured with a trick leg that’s cost us the playoffs year after year after year) guard is crazy in love with barack obama. so crazy, in fact, that he’s tat-tat-tatted up with obama. and more. i caught this story over at sportaphile:
Every since Tuesday’s historical election, the U.S.A. has been running wild with over 50 million Obamamaniacs and Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards may be the biggest one. Not only did Gilbert get Obama inspired tattoos, he’s also getting a mural at his home. SportsByBrooks has the goods:
“Arenas has decided to show his permanent support of President-elect Barack Obama with a tattoo. Arenas had the words “Change We Believe In” tattooed onto the fingers of his left hand in cursive writing. Then, Gilbert showed the outside of his pinky finger, which had “44? inked on it.
Arenas has gone all out for Obama, adding that he hired an artist last week to paint a mural with Obama’s family on one side and Arenas’s fiancee and children on another side of a wall in Arenas’s house. “He united people,” Arenas said of Obama. “By him winning, it showed the world that we’re not as racist as people think we are. I think that’s the beauty of [the election]. Not just because he’s the first African American president. America is not as bad as people think we are.””
Now… I’m a Barack Obama fan like most of you out there… but this is just a little “extra extra” in my opinion. Just think if you saw a few rednecks in Kentucky with George Bush tattoos and Dubya painted on the side of their barn… you’d probably say “these right wing jesus freak hicks are fanatical”.
now is that crazy or what!? and LOL at the picture. oh my goodness. and i HEARD the bamma was claiming he wasn’t voting for barack cuz he was down to raise taxes! somebody fact check that for me! we need to re-evaluate gilbert’s mental state. i think he’s ventured beyond normal, and is now stomping his size 12 reebok gil-zero’s around in the land of insanity. i’m just saying though. he needs to get his team in the right mindset…the wizards are the worst in the league with a woeful 0-6 start for the season. and those are my boys, but cot’ damn. we need a new day! gil has lost my respect until he: a. gets back on the damn court and fries people like he did kobe back in ‘06 or b. removes the tattoos and rips down the stupid mural in his house. that’s just me. call me a hater. i used to love him like common used to love H.E.R. but now i can’t fade it.
…is less and less hip hop. i’m just being real with you guys. in fact, after my cousin put me on that CushCush and discobelle, i haven’t really been back since. so i’m throwing you a few joints that are on another level. i don’t even know what genre they officially classify in, but this is my new power move. enjoy. shout out to chelsea for putting me on to these joints, as well as my twitter homie jose, as well as smokeYYY and dylan for lacing me with the mp3s. let’s get it.
a few things that have happened in the last few days have inspired me greatly. conversations with great thinkers, unfortunate situations, and other recent experiences made me realize that i need to start focusing on future, and help my homies do the same. so i’m starting a new section called the great progression, dedicated to just that - progress. inspired by the great kendall corbin cones (yes, i put your entire government out here, homie) my e-mentor, PMD, and of course all you readers, the section will just be me throwing tidbits of info, nuggets of wisdom, and anything i can to aid in your progressional power moves, whatever they may be. i won’t be preaching or anything, so don’t worry. but whether you’re a high schooler, a grad student, an OG, i still think you can appreciate and relate. so without further ado, here’s the first entry.
yerp. the confessions of a reformed procrastinator. except, i’m not reformed at all. i’m the worst of the worst. ask my roomies. i sometimes don’t leave the room. for like two days. what am i doing!? i don’t even know. often, it’s not homework, so it’s probably not too important.
my mom shared this article with me like a month ago, but being the procrastinator i am, i never read it until just now. after reading it, i’m now out of bed, showered, and reading. so needless to say, it’s informative and helpful for even the worst procrastinators. if you don’t know, procrastination is fatal! really. so check it out here, and let me know what you think.
they got stacks for days.
christian rich is the future. so when you see the twins all over the globe doing sold out shows and approving multi-million dollar deals from their iPhones, don’t say i didn’t put you on early.

i suggest all other bloggers snatch this up and post it, ASAP! and a free box of smack energy bars to whoever can guess where the sample from the hook is from. yes, i’m serious.
the talented duo was also featured on my love bomb mixtape i dropped last week. i’m just saying. so if you want more, go get it.
i remember when me and my best friend lexi aka lex bubble were posted up over at her crib. it was prolly like 11th grade. we made a pact that we would become millionaires before 25. well, that was our goal anyway. that was when we were like 16, 17. now, i’m 22. my birthday just past. i’m getting gray hairs. my body ain’t what it used to be. to be blunt, i’m getting old as sh!t.
it’s whatever though. i have like 3 and a half years to pull off our master plan of a 7-digit bankroll. i soon realized 6 figures is much more realistic. but then i also realized, it’s not all about the money. i just want to live nice. a nice girl, a nice whip, and a nice lil crib. apartment, house, mansion, who knows. the only reason that i can’t completely give up on operation: MB25 is because money makes the haters hate even harder.
Continue reading ‘of movies.’
iGoon put me on the best video of all time. past tomfoolery to tomf**kery. it’s no joke! partake.
lol. i don’t even think i want to know what they’re saying. shout out to vince for this joint, check his blog, he’s the only barber who blogs that i’ve heard of. talk about ahead of the curve! if you live in maryland, check out his spot, it’s over by good counsel. tell ‘em modi sent ya! and don’t bull$#i!t me and say you’ve never wanted to say that. you know you have.
hmph. have fun captioning this joint.

i figure cuz i’m springing these leaks, i should also bless you with the 808s & heartbreak commercial. wowzers. for a 20 second commercial, it’s extra vicious.
re-up cuz my mp3 player site went down earlier!
so i hit atlanta last spring, solo like i usually do when i make power moves, and i posted up with my cousin for about a week out in an area called cascade. that’s when i was introduced to some of the greatest music ever made.
i introduce to you CushCush, a duo out of h-town, texas. made up of my man b*luckett (on the right) and his man ace boon coon, the two have been DJ’ing for a minute, and love to jam that stuff with heavy drum breaks, crucial synths, and good vocals. i don’t even really know the genre they specialize in, but if i had to call it anything, i would say it’s a vicious mix between drum ‘n’ bass (D&B, google that stuff, it’s big in the UK!) club/house, and hip hop. essentially, i’m talking about any music that you want to just jam to, they fuck with and incorporate into their sets. it can be madonna, it can be project pat. and typically, it’s a mash-up of both.
anyway, after they sensed my intrigue, they gave me some required [online] reading material to get more acquainted with this type of music, like discobelle. i’ve been DL’ing these mixes ever since. great gym music! i’m sharing it with you. i kinda figure this is the future of music, because it combines all genres and types of people (hipsters, hip hop heads, ravers, suburbs, city folk, you get the idea) and makes the ultimate party-going experience, if you’re the open-minded type. in fact, i was in the A a few weeks ago, and my cuz and b*luckett took me to this spot, MJQ, which was probably the illest experience i’ve had in a club. ever. let me know how you feel about this 30-minute set right here, and be on the look out for more mixes just like this in the future.

damn. he’s throwing these loosies out to us like frisbees. i was gonna write that he gets real emotional on this joint, but then i realized that’s what the entire album is. regardless, i like it. barely uses that auto-tune, too. he can sing a little bit, so give him those props. and listen to those backup vocals doing the damn thing on this joint! sounds like a piece from a broadway musical.
tell me you’re not excited for 808s & heartbreak, i triple dawg dare you.

DL: kanye west feat. lil wayne - tell everybody that you know
this joint made me laugh. i came across this joint over at one smart black man and figured i needed to share it with you all. enjoy.
What’s up, people? How’s everything going? OK, enough of the small talk; more about me. I’m sore, tired and a little hungry. I just spent the afternoon being poked, prodded and seemingly molested by my friendly physician. I know that sounds grand and all - but it really wasn’t. Why is it that whenever you go to the doctor, you have to fill out 50 million different forms about your illnesses? It’s kind of invasive, don’t you think? Why must they know all that?
I almost flipped out when I saw the depression section.
It had questions like:
Are you depressed? No, but if you diagnose me with something I can’t pronounce, I might be.
Do you have suicidal thoughts? See above answer.
Do you have crying sessions? Men don’t cry - we aren’t allowed to.
I’m not much of a crier myself - never have been. However, when the nurse from hell tried to skewer me with demon needles to bleed me to death, I’ll admit, some saline did inadvertently roll down my face (but I ain’t no punk or nothin’ - that’s against the Man Laws).
The Man Laws - the secret set of rules and regulations that men are governed by. You have heard by its other name - THE CODE. It is distinctly against THE CODE for men to showcase any type of emotion - or they will be deemed soft or some other random reference to being less than masculine. It’s not really fair but that’s the way society has made things.
We are allowed to exhibit 3 types of emotions:
Laughter/Excitement. This is exhibited in our love of sports, cartoons, video games, action movies and random viewings of violence.
Lust/Hunger. It is our duty to enjoy the booty - as well as a good hearty sandwich. No spooning or eating things like Tostitos with a hint of lime.
Anger. Sadness takes a back seat to our good friend, Rage. Why talk things out when you can beat the hell out of someone?
If any other emotions are shown, you are immediately red-flagged and placed on the questionable list. Sensitivity is only good when following rule number 2 - other than that, men have no use for it.
I know you might be thinking I have lost my mind - and I might have; they withdrew a lot of blood… but my point is that it’s crazy that we all accept this type of thinking. People have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray into thinking that showing vulnerabilities is a weakness.
Maybe one day it will be OK for tears to flow every now and then. Maybe people will believe that it’s not that bad to open up your heart to new experiences. I hope that one day soon it will come to fruition - I think I have an urge to cuddle.
That’s my time.
