The Destruction of America...(A Blog Series)

To all 2 of my readers who loved the previous Blog Series of mine; The Wood Harris All Stars, The Damn, Homie Awards, and the beloved Rap Hater...I now introduce my newest online Blog Series, "The Destruction Of America" (or DOA). This is where I will focus my attention on the things that need to stop and stop immediately in order to make America A better Place.

Stay Tuned...

The Rap Hater Experiment - Day Four

90's rap is the sh*t! I think the difference is that 90's hip hop artists were, for the most part, hungry and broke. So since they did not have the advantage of big budgets which, as a rusult, kept them from being lazy. I think the biggest difference between Rap music now and today is that when you listen to 90's hip hop...you can feel the music and message more. Even if the message is ignorance, it is still authentic and that is what makes it all worth listening to. You can also tell in the quality of the music. Today's rap is more like a job to these dudes. SHow up at a studio...nod my head to the producer's wack beat...smoke a blunt...get in the booth...spit some adlibs...spit the rhymes that I wrote on the bus on the way to the studio...tell people how hot it is...go home...do it all over again tomorrow. THat sh*t ain't hip hop...that's working at a factory!


The Rap Hater Pic of the Day:



Today's Pic is the Chessboard from the GZA's Liquid Swords (1995) album liner notes. Awesome Picture! Wu-Tang made it cool to play chess and promoted intelligence in all people no matter what you are doing with your life. Even Ol DIrty...Sometimes.

Today's Rap Hater 5

1. EPMD - Funky Piano (Business As Usual 1990)
2. Gang Starr - I'm The Man (Daily Operation 1992)
3. Nas - The World Is yours (Illmatic 1994)
4. Pete Rock & CL Smooth - In The House (Main Ingredient 1994)
5. Pete ROck - Strange Fruit (Soul Survivor 1998)

Wood Harris All Stars - Doorman

"I can't have a bunch of old pregnant bitches runnin around."



The Doorman confession scene from Knocked Up is absolutely one of the most hilarious movie scenes I can remember to date. The Actor's name is Craig Robinson and, although he is getting the WHAS induction for his performance in Knocked up, his career is full of WHAS performances. Check out the resume.

Wood Harris All Stars - Charles

Charles from Swingers is the ultimate token black guy. He's the smoothest guy in the crew, the coolest guy in the crew and the overall anchor of the crew. And nothing else that he says in the entire film is as important or as pivitol as this line:

"This Place is dead anyway, Man"

Those 6 words alone are what took Swingers from good indie film status to Cult Classic status. The actor's name is, Alex Désert and I have never ever seen him ever outside of Swingers. If I did, I already forgot about it and that makes him a perfect recipient of the Wood Harris All Stars honor.

Old Soul

As long as I can remember, I have been accused of being an old soul. I embrace that and have gone as far as to say that I have an old man living in the back of my head. No I DO NOT hear voices!!! But I do believe that there is some truth to the fact that possessing an old soul is a highly plausible occurrence. In fact...I have gone as far as to think about the identity of the man in the back of my head. Here are 7 things that I believe could be the true identity of the old man in the back of my head.

1. An American Jazz Musician/Composer living in Paris
2. A Southern Blues Singer
3. Nat Turner
4. A College Philosophy Professor
5. A Black Panther
6. A 70's Blaxploitation Film Actor
7. The guy in this picture (below)...

Wood Harris All Stars - Roach

"Get The Roach, Nigga!"



The Roach from Apocalypse Now only appears for less than 2 minutes in the entire film. But it is a powerful scene that vividly depicts the chaos of war, specifically the Vietnam War. On screen, it looks like a vision of hell through the creepy lighting and the sporatic explosions...The Roach represents the personification of the Devil's corruption of a man's spirit.

The Roach's speaking lines consist of: "Yeah...No...He's Close, Man...Real Close...Mothaf***a...Yeah." Nothing more is required to earn him an induction as the second Wood Harris All Star.

The Rap Hater Experiment - Day Three

So far...so good. One thing that I have come to appreciate more after starting this experiment is the dirty drums used in 90's beats. Havoc and RZA definitely epitomized this through their countless dark beats with hard drums. Dirty, hard-hitting drums are the backbone of that hardcore "Boom Bap" hip hop shit. The drums today are too clean and over-produced.

The Rap Hater Pic of the Day:


This Source Magazine cover is as much of a Hip Hop Classic as Redman's first 3 albums. The balled up napkin up the nostril really communicates that "I don't give a f**k" attitude that 90's hip hop represented.

Today's Rap Hater 5:
Redman - Pick it Up (Muddy Waters 1996)
Souls of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity (93 Til Infinity 1993)
Eric B & Rakim - Casualties of War (Don't Sweat The Technique 1992)
Black Moon - Enter da Stage (Enter Da Stage 1993)
Raekwon - Glaciers of Ice (Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 1995)

Introducing...The Wood Harris All Stars

Most people know him as Avon Barksdale from the Wire...others might know him as Ace from Paid in Full...Oh and he was also the black guy in Remember The Titans. All are good roles, but I know him as the greatest living american actor...who never blew up. Bold Statement? Yes. But Mr. Harris is one of those great actors who (Until the Wire) was plagued with a career of mediocre roles in average to bad movies. Much like Malcolm McDowell (of A Clockwork Orange) he suffers from the curse of setting the bar too high too early. Malcolm Mcdowell played Alex Delarge so perfectly and memorably, that he was never able to do anything else nearly as memorable (or watchable) since. And although Avon Barksdale is awesome, Above the Rim is Wood Harris' Clockwork Orange. Check out Wood's resume here.

Harris' portrayal of Motaw, in the 1994 Urban Basketball Drama, Above The Rim was nothing less than Genius. On the surface he might appear to be the average Thug/Henchman, but Mr. Motaw was much much more. For example, here is the definitive scene that established Harris' greatness.




CLASSIC! Motaw displayed the perfect balance of Gangster and unintentional Humor that makes movie villains entertaining and often likeable. One summer, My cousin and I watched that movie every day and when this scene came up, we had to rewind at least 3 times before moving on with the movie. It still never gets old.

The Wood Harris All Stars honor lesser known and even lesser celebrated movie characters and actors that, as minor as their roles may be, have the power to make bad movies good, good movies Great, and Great movies a little better. So of course, the first inductee to the Wood Harris All Stars is none other than the Wood-man himself.

Twitter has ruined Sports News

Seriously...this sh*t is so wack that I can't even formulate an articulate rant. Example below:

The Rap Hater Experiment - Day One

It was recently brought to my attention that I should start documenting my Rap Hater experiment (Shoutout to b.cause for the idea). If you are unaware of the Rap Hater Experiment...here is the original post. Basically, I am trying to make it to the end of the year listening to only 90's Hip Hop music...nothing else. The first step was to create a 90's Hip Hop playlist on my Ipod and My Computer. There is a total of 200 Full Albums on those playlists. Most of which are mp3 rips of the original CD's that I still own, and digital upgrades of the cassette tapes that I actually still own. Also...most of the time, I play the playlist on Shuffle, but there are times when I will do an entire album.



All albums on my playlists were recorded or released between the years of 1990 and 1999. (There may be some spill over from the late 80's, but musically, it is the same era. But there will absolutely be no threat of any spill over into the 2000's. In Fact, I can't even think of a single album on the list that was released after "'97.

The majority of my 90's Hip Hop Collection consists of those albums that were released during, what I consider to be the Golden Era of 1991-1996. In my humbly arrogant opinion...Real Hip Hop was born when Tribe's Low End Theory dropped and Died with Tupac. This was that wonderful time in music right before the Jiggy Era and later the Bling era, when Rap was still pure. When legendary hip Artists like Mobb Deep, Biggie, Nas, Wu-Tang, Ice Cube and producers such as Pete Rock, RZA, Havoc, DJ Premier and Dr. Dre (among others) were at the top of thier game in all aspects.



Not to say that there is nothing good released before or after (there are plenty of great ones) but I feel that the Rap music that was released during that time period was the best that it will and has ever been. So this brings us to the reason for this experiement.

If I remember correctly from High School Science class, every experiment has to start with a hypothesis, and the purpose of the experiment is to prove or disprove that hypothesis. My Hypothesis is as follows:

90's Rap music is awesome. And is superior to everything has been released in the last 10 years. And more musically appealing than anything that will probably be released in the next 5 years

In this situation, I already know that my Hypothesis is 100% accurate, so my job is easy. A lot of people say that Hip Hop is Dead and, although I am the Rap HAter, I don't believe that it is dead. I think that it suffered a massive stroke and is in desperate need of some physical therapy and speech lessons.




Furthermore...although I titled this as "Day 1" this is actually about day 36. For the sake of the blog, it is Day 1 because it's the first day that I'm documenting. The official end date for this experiment is tentatively set at February 1 (Which will be at the 6 month milestone. I have the slight feeling that I will probably extend it at least another 6 months for lack of anything better to listen to.



Every Rap Hater Experiment Post will end with the last 5 songs to play (randomly) from My 90's Hip Hop Playlist. Also, to all of the 2 Fans of the Rap Hater VIdeo Series, don't fear...It will still be around as well. Here is today's list:

1. OC - The Chosen One (Jewelz 1997)
2. 2Pac - Streets R Deathrow (Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. 1993)
3. Beatnuts - Psycho Dwarf (Street Level 1994)
4. Ice Cube - Wicked (The Predator 1992)
5. Redman - It's Like THat (Muddy Waters 1996)

Damn, Homie!

Creepy Kid Movies

Dear Hollywood...Please stop making Creepy Kid movies. It is getting out of control and it is actually starting to creep me out in real life. For example: Remember a time when old white ladies would see a black teenager walking down the street and clutch thier purse...Unfortunately, that is probably still the case but it is inspired by all the damn news channels reporting stories about black criminals. There could be 3 black dudes out snatching purses in any given city and the news had these old women thinking that we all were all trolling the streets looking for old women's purses to snatch. I have seen what's inside of an old woman's purse before (no I didn't steal it) and there is a bunch of bullsh*t that you don't want and can't use. But I'm getting off the subject. The point is that the hollywood trend of the periodic creepy kid movie, has me terrified of little white kids now. I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day and a little girl turned around and started staring at me. I felt like I wanted to sh*t on myself. What else was I supposed to do? Here I am standing in line to buy some toothpaste and a frozen pizza and this evil little girl is staring at me. I can't yell out "Oh, Sh*t...It's the Ring, B*tch!!!" That would be ignorant and cause a scene. And even if she charged at me I couldn't hit her because it's a little girl. What would it look like if My Big ass were to hit a little girl? Not good. But she kept staring at me and it was creeping the spit out of me. and I was sitting there looking like a scared jackass. So I did what any logical person would do and I carefully placed my items on the counter and ran out of the store screaming. Kids are already scary enough. Eat and doo doo and eat and tell the truth way too well...especially when it is embarrassing. And if they are your own kids, as precious as they may be, they are expensive as hell. So the last thing we need is to make kids even scarier than they already are. Now...none of that story I just told is true, but the moral of the story is that creepy kid movies need to come to an end soon because little kids are the new black teenager.

The Original Rap Hater

C. Delores Tucker was, at one point in my life, the worst woman on the face of the earth. I hated her because she wanted to take my music away. She dedicated her life to being a supreme rap hater and started an anti-hip hop movement on the grounds that the language was bad and sh*t like that. Basically, the b*tch thought that muthaf****s calling other muthaf****s muthaf****s and b*tches was bad and sh*t. Like if muthaf****n kids was listening to that bad muthaf****n music then it would f*ck up thier muthaf****n brains and sh*t. Sh*t, B*tch...I listened to that bullsh*t almost my whole sh*ttin life and look at ME! My muthaf****n a** is straight. I know how to talk and sh*t. I'm a muthaf****n productive member of socie-muthaf****n-ty, b*tch. That Ho ain't know what the sh*t she was muthaf****n talkin about.

Rap Hater #024

Boss - Deeper

Damn, I forgot about Boss. This is the most hardcore rap sh*t from a female rapper ever! This beat is crazy and Boss spits that west coast gangsta sh*t on par with any male rapper at the time. And although she was kinda hot back in the day, you still bought the fact that she would "Beat a Heffer's Ass"...Or a Guy's. Unfortunately the Gangsta fantasy came to an end when it was revealed (apparently by the Wall Street Journal) to be an act. The Wall Street Journal = Not Hip Hop.

Rap Hater #023

Outkast - Player's Ball (Remix)

Since the first day I say this video (also the first day I ever heard Outkast, I have been a fan. This is what southern Rap used to represent. Tight rhymes and soulful beats. Very laid back and smooth. To Date, this is lyrically still one of the best Outkast songs.

Editors Note: Embedding of this Video was disabled by YouTube (Bastids!) but here is the link

Damn, Homie Award - Betrayal

Green Bay Packers Fans - ALL of them



Bret Farve. Your hero, your poster boy, your savior has betrayed you in the ultimate way. First he retires, then asks for his job back...Doesn't get his job back plays for the Jets, then fake retires a year later only to end up playing for your division rival and probably the most hated team in Green Bay...The Minnesota Vikings.

"If you're a true Packers Fan, you understand." - Bret Farve

Damn, Homie!

Damn, Homie Award - Patience

Amare Stodomire of the Phoenix Suns


Earlier this year, Amare Stodomire from the Phoenix Suns had to undergo surgery to repair a detached retina. And as if having your eye cut open isn't enough, today during an interview with Jim Rome, Stodomire said that part of the post-op treatment required him to spend 22 hours per day, laying face down! 22 hours PER DAY. Oh and the treatment, according to Stodomire, lasted for 10 consecutive days. If that doesn't require patience, I don't know what does. It is physically impossible to sleep that long (Unless Conrad Murray is your doctor) and the fact that you just had Eye Surgery means that watching TV, reading, or playing video games is probably a bit difficult.

Note: Being interviewed by Jim Rome with out wanting to kick his ass requires quite a bit of patience in its self.

Damn, Homie!

Charity Bracelet Horror Story

Not too long ago, a friend of mine (more of an acquaintance) gave me a charity bracelet. I don't wear charity bracelets. Not for any real reason, other than the fact that I just didn't do it. So I thought I would turn over a new leaf and try my hands at public philanthropic support. I thought it would be a good way for me to better myself by making sure that everyone that sees me knows that I am supportive of a cause. Because everyone knows, that the best way to support a cause is to let everybody around you know that you are supporting a cause.

I didn't really pay much attention to the explanation of what charity I was aligning myself with, but all I remembered was something about poor people. So you can imagine the sheer terror that filled my body when I did some research. I was shocked to find that the charity that my trendy new charity bracelet was the porduct of none other than the Bone Man Himself...Mr. U2. That's right...BONER. The charity bracelet is from one.org and Boner is on the board of directors. I am so ashamed of myself. I have betrayed my values and am now in desperate search of another charity bracelet. Maybe I'll find a black one. Black matches everything!! That would be an awesome way to support a cause. Seriously...what better way to support a cause than to have it match my wardrobe? The hunt begins.

Note: I fully support the cause of one.org and appreciate all that they are doing. However, due to my recent anti-U2 rants, I cannot in good conscience participate in any Bono-dom or Bono related activities.

E-A-G-L-E-S!!!

I might be a terrible person for laughing at this but it is absolutely hilarious for so many reasons. Welcome Back, Mike!



By The Way, The 60 minutes interview was great. I'm glad JB didn't fluff up the story with gay questions, and I'm proud of Michael Vick for answering the questions honestly. Now that that is out of the way...I can go back to hating the Eagles...unfortunately, Michael Vick will have to receive that hate by default...hopefully 2 years from now, he will be on a better team...one that I don't hate. Meaning any other team in the NFL other than the Redskins, Giants or the F'n Eagles.

Public Service Announcement - "Brotha"

Young white guys please stop referring to your friends (especially the black one) as "Bro" or "Brotha". It sounds ridiculous. And what makes it even worse it when you add that soulful twang to your voice when you say it. It might have worked for Hulk Hogan, but it absolutely does not work for you...at all.

This does not improve race relations or make you appear to be cool with black people it makes you look like a jackass. This also applies to Black people calling white guys "brotha" , White kids calling each other "nigga" and especially applies to Black guys calling other black guys "dude". And I can't forget this one: White Girls calling anybody, "Girlfriend." This is actually worse than the others...Black chicks don't even call anybody "Girlfriend" anymore.

Rap Hater #022

Redman - Funkorama

I had to double up with Redman. This is one of my favorite Redman tracks. It's from Eric Sermon's Insomnia. Awesome song.

Rap Hater #021

Redman - Tonite's Da Nite

Redman is in a class by himself. Besides the fact that he is F'n hilarious, he is Lyrically one of the great rappers of his time. He mixes hardcore rhymes with a sick sense of humor. This track, one of my favorites, demonstrates this with a hook that is nothing but Redman and his boys trading insults.

Damn, Homie Award - Medicine

Conrad Murray aka Michael Jackson's Doctor.



You thought you were going to get some quick easy money to take care of Mike by illegally administering his "medication" and "sleep aids". Now your life is a mess. Your Office getting raided, people digging up your past mistakes...sh*t is all bad for you now, dog. Great job. Mike never even had any brotha's in his camp, and you had to f*ck that up by being the jackass to "accidentally" kill him.

Damn, Homie!

Damn, Homie Award - Job Security

Tavaris Jackson of the Minisota Vikings



Earlier this summer there were reports about Bret Farve joining the Vikings. But then they eventually died away and once Preseason started, there was no Farve...HOWEVER Today Sports Center reported that an unnamed Vikings player said that Bret Farve would probably be on thier team this season. I don't usually attribute much credit to "Unnamed" sources, but the fact that it is a topic of discussion again, means that it's not looking good for Tavaris. Jackson ended the season ok and the Vikings made it to the playoffs, but as of August 16, the Vikings still have not decided on a starter...With Farve back in the picture, things are not looking good for Mr. Jackson at all.

Looks like Vince Young's chance of becoming the next Black Quarterback to win the Super Bowl just got a little easier.

Damn, Homie!

The 1st Annual "Damn, Homie" Awards

I would like to announce my personal awards ceremony called the "Damn, Homie" awards. The recipients will be people that experience situations that make you say "Damn, Homie"...for further explaination, the full quote that has inspired the "Damn, Homie Awards" comes from MR. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson from the song titled, "Wanksta".

"Damn, Homie...In High School you was the man, Homie...F*ck happened to you?"

The Damn, Homie Awards will honor people who have fallen from grace, experienced public humiliation, ruined their careers, suffer from bad luck or have been publicly disrespected.

I am currently designing an award statue and hopefully I will be able to mail them to the recipients without a lawsuit or rude letter in return.

Stay Tuned...

Pookie and the NFL

Ok, So I thought watching a few pre-season games the other night would satisfy my itch, but I just realized that I am watching Pre-season game RERUNS on the NFL network RIGHT NOW!!!! Redskins vs Ravens. I HATE The Redskins...and know that they never scored a point in this game, but somehow, I am still enjoying watching the game. I need help! It be callin' me man!

Rap Hater #020

Kool G Rap - It's A Shame

I can't remember the first time I heard Kool G Rap...but I also can't remember a time when he was NOT one of my Top 5 MC's. He is the master of Grimey street stories reminiscent of an old school Gangster movie. and mast the lisp cool. Today's rappers try too hard to sound like everybody else, but G Rap was unapologetically original since he first dropped "It's A Demo".

Dream Log #01 - Instant Potatoes

This is my account of a real dream that I had a few years ago...this is 100% true fiction.

The Potato Box

I was at my parent’s old house. We were having a party or something like a party. There were people all over the house. I didn’t recognize or know any of them, but I knew they were all family and friends. I went outside to get something from the car, and on the porch was an old man sitting in a rocking chair. The man was white, and talked and looked like he was from the South Eastern part of the country.

The old southern white man said nothing to me when I was at the front door but after I left the car and was returning to the house, he began to rattle off an array af racial slurs directed to me. I attempted to ignore him, but he continued.

I was angered by his verbal abuse, but I could not say anything back to him. I immediately tried to find another black person in the area to return his lashing, but I was alone in my shock and speechlessness.

I went into the house and tried to find someone to validate what my ears had herd and found my dad. I told him and we both went outside to confront the old southerner, who by the way, no one knew him or where he came from. When we got back outside, the old white southerner was no where to be found. So My dad and I decided to get in the car and try to find him.

Before I knew it, my dad and I were loading several guns and weapons into the back of a large white pickup truck. After the arsenal had been stocked, we took off.
Somehow, we tracked the racist southerner to a local Food Lion Grocery store.In the store, we franticly ran up and down every aisle but could not find him.

Ready to give up, we were about to leave the store when I heard his voice, repeatedly blurting out racial slurs without pausing to take a breath. I ran toward the voice, and on the way, I stopped and talked to a Black security guard.

“you don’t hear that?” I asked

“Naw, man.” The security guard answered. From the tone in his voice, he wouldn’t have cared even if he did hear him.

I finally got to the source of the voice and saw the old racist southern white guy stuffed into a box of Instant mashed potatoes. I opened the box and saw that his body was shrunk small enough for him to stand completely straight inside of the box. I threw the box on the floor and stomped on it repeatedly until my foot was covered in white powder and shredded cardboard…

The SOuthern Racist man was nowhere to be found.

Rap Hater #019

Camp Lo - Luchini (This is It)

I don't know if these dudes were supposed to be pimps, homo-thugs, or fat albert extras, but this song was the shiznit! And thier obsession with the 70's is very similar to my current obsession with 90's rap music, so I appreciate their style a lot more now. Great beat and unique flow. This was released very close to the decline of Hip Hop and on the fringe of the Golden Era. Still a great track.

Rap Hater #018

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - T.R.O.Y.

CLASSIC! I am actually a bit disappointed that I didn't include this sooner in the Rap Hater Series. The story telling and rhymes are flawless. And this is one of my favorite samples. The Saxophone definitely showcases Pete Rock's genius.

The U2 Stalker Strikes Back...

Here is her latest entry...Not bad.



Note: I do not, in any way, endorse the contents of this picture. The comments expressed above are held solely by the U2 Stalker and are not affiliated with this organization.

So in honor of the U2 Stalker...here is another list. A Top 8 List

Things I would Rather listen to instead of U2...

1.) Fingernails on a chaulk board
2.) Blood ooozing from my ears.
3.) Wierd Al Yancovic.
4.) Crying Babies on an Airplane.
5.) An elderly man on the toilet after eating Chili.
6.) Drunk College Assholes arguing about Beer Pong.
7.) Elephants having sex.
8.) Hanna Montana.

It's Almost Here...

Tonight! I know it's pre-season but it will have to be good enough for now...It is starting to feel like September already!

Rap Hater #017

A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz / Buggin' Out

Tribe Called Quest's album, The Low End Theory, is probably one of the 5 best albums of any genre to be released between 1990 and 1999. Bold Statement...Yes. Do I believe it to be true...Hell Yes! This is a perfect Hip Hop Album, and the best part about it is that there is no gangsta sh*t, minimal profanity, little to no drug references, and only a few sexual references. It is virtually "clean" and is lyrically and musically superior to most rap albums of the time as well as today. The Video combines 2 of the strongest tracks from that album.

Pissy Staircases

What is it about staircases that invite people to piss in them...all over them? Every time I go into a staircase....especially the ones that are connected to parking garages, they smell like hot piss. Am I missing something? Is stairway pissing some kind of special experience?

Rap Hater #016

Smoothe The Hustler - Broken Language

There will never be another Rapper like Smoothe The Hustler. And unfortunately, he will never record an album as good as Once Upon A Time in America. One of the hardcore sleeper albums of the era. Broken Language is the first single and hits hard like a fist to the gut. Smoothe and his brother Trigga Da Gambler go verse for verse like Rae and Ghost on speed over one of the best beats of the 1990's.

Rap Hater #015

Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. 2

If you would have asked me "Who is the greatest rapper alive" between the years of 1994-1999, I would have said Prodigy without hesitation. If I did Hesitate, I might have said 2Pac or Nas, but that is not the point. Havoc would also be the best producer that ever lived. And Shook Ones Pt. 2 is the song that both established and solidified that in my mind.

Mobb Deep's dark sound and vivid stories are still unmatched by any of thier contemporaries. Sadly, they have grown the desire to go pop and released a couple mediocre albums, but Mobb Deep at thier worst is STILL better than Auto-Tune, Stanky Leg Swagga bullsh*t rap that is on the radio today.

Side Note: The "Hennesy" Jerseys that Hav & P are wearing in this video are awesome.

T-Pain

In my humble opinion, T-Pain has successfully ruined popular music and has fueled, in part, my disgust in the current state of hip hop...HOWEVER I do appreciate his originality and talent. It is evident in the fact that every jackass with a music budget has now added the dreaded AutoTune into thier recording sessions to create trash songs. But even more than his creativity...I would like to take this time to shout out T-Pain's BIG ASS CHAIN!!! The comedic value and irony of it is absolutely priceless...and the satirical statement that is makes is pure genius. It reminds me of the "Big Ass Biscuit" from CB4.

Video Blog - Part 3

At long last...here is part 3. Bask in it's glory!

I Cheated on My Chucks...

...and THIS is the whore responsible...A while back, I said that I would wear Chuck Taylors everyday if I could...However, I must now retract that comment. I would wear the chucks on Monday - Wednesday and the rest of the week would be reserved for my Onitsuka Tigers. I have 2 big ass, flat ass black ass feet, and the Tiger's are the most comfortable running/walking show that I own. When i blow up, I'm going to design some Tiger's (for personal use) based on my Nightmare Children. That would be the sh*t. They are light and soft and just...Oh I need to stop. I'm starting to sound like I'm Sellin' Out...that is very anti-90's hip Hop, so In honor of my Exclusive 90's Hip Hop experiment, I will leave you with this...


Rap Hater #014: EPMD - Crossover

Rap Hater #013

Cypress Hill - Ain't Goin Out Like That

This video is scary as sh*t and the beat adds to it. Cypress hill was the equivalent of heavy metal for Hip Hop Fans. And their imagery is reminiscent of a ghetto horror movie. I think I have consistently listened to this song on a regular basis since I first bought the tape. And That reminds me of a good point.

Remember when people released only records and tapes? I think is the reason why music is so bad now. Because people can just skip the song on the CD or only download the songs they want...so the album as a whole doesn't have to be good. Fast forwarding a tape to the song you wanted to hear would always be a chore. "Oh snap, I went too far...let me rewind" "Damn, I didn't go far enough...let me fast forward some more" "Oh No! fast forwarded too far again...let me just listen to the whole damn thing now."

Rap Hater #012

Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.

If there is a such a thing as a perfect hip-hop song, this is it. Everything! Rza's Beat, Meth on the Hook, Ol Dirty's haunting adlibs, Deck and Rae's flow and the lyrics blend together perfectly like a classic painting. RZA was a master of his craft back in the day.

Skull Pipe

As a follow up to Rap Hater #010, I would like to take this moment to appreciate Ice Cube's skull pipe. The first time I saw this, I thought it was the coolest sh*t ever...and I don't even smoke weed! One of My goals in life is to find a skull pipe and put it on a shelf somewhere in my house to sit and eventually collect dust.

Lessons from the MLB

The 2009 Sports Drought period, as always, has me watching more baseball than i really care to, so in honor of that, here are some lessons that I have learned from the MLB.

1.) If you get caught breaking the rules...deny it and play dumb.



Whenever a baseball player gets caught up in the steroid or "performance enhancing" supplement spider web. THere is always this long drawn out conversation about the same topics: Is his success tainted? Should He be allowed to play? If this guy was using performance enhancing drugs...how many others are there? Then there is the standard apology that pretty much goes like this:

"I was unaware of what I was taking. It was a careless decision. I want to apologize to my teammates and the fans. I am an idiot and I want to put this behind me."

Then everybody forgets about until the next guy gets caught. Enough is Enough! Why don't we just assume that everybody has taken some form of illegal substance, schedule periodic drug tests, and shut the f*ck up about it.

#2.) When somebody tells you something that you don't like or agree with...run over to them, get as close to thier face as you possibly can...and SCREAM at them until you either pass out from anger, or until they agree with you.



Professional Baseball is the only sport where it is acceptable..I'm sorry expected for the manager to run up to the umpire and scream at him when he makes a call that he doesn't agree with. And even though it never works, they still come back and do it again. And these shouting matches go on entirely too long. especially when the umpire gets fed up and starts to shout back. If I was a fan, I would be pissed. Because not only is the game being delayed because 2 grown men are yelling at each other, but I don't even get to hear what they are saying. There are most likely some high quality insults and threats in that barrage, and I don't even get to Hear? Oh hell no! You two bastards better shake hands and work that sh*t out...or get mic'd up so we can hear.

And this has actually inspired me. I think I am going to invent a sport using all of my "favorite" aspects of the major professional sports. Here's are all of the factors that will ensure that my sport will be a success...



1. Hockey Fights
2. MLB Manager/Umpire arguments.
3. MLB steroid use/half-assed apology.
4. Riotous Soccer Fans.



5. NFL-style play challenges.
6. Players Fighting fans (As seen in the NBA.)
7. WNBA Salaries
8. Commissioner Vernon Maxwell.

I guess there will be a ball of some sort, but given the other ingredients, I can't imagine a ball having any productive use outside of throwing it at the fan's faces. I also need to come up with a name. Something that really captures the essence of this great sport...Hmmmmmmmmm

Sports Drought Depression

The summer sports Drought is almost over and it can't get here fast enough. I am about to go insane! It actually hurts to turn on the NFL network because all of the games are old, and you already know what's going to happen. And even if you see a really good play that you might have missed, the truth smacks you in the face like a garbage can when you realize that the incredible catch that you just saw, means nothing because YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO WON THE GAME!!!! And although it is now preseason. Who really cares about pre season? It is a tease indeed and a majority of the players you see, will never come off the bench during the season.

Additionally, watching Sports Center is like watching Desperate Housewives, or The Atlanta Housewives or any other show that includes "Housewives" in the title. Full of bullsh*t and uneccessary drama. For Example...The following are real topics on Pardon The Interruption Today:

1.) Baseball player used Steroids. Baseball Player got caught. Baseball Player Apologizes. "Was the apology genuine?"

2.) Another Baseball Player is a Drunk...And a Drug Addict. Baseball Player sobers up. Baseball Player gets drunk again. Some asshole posts pictures online. Baseball player apologizes. "Was the apology necessary?"

3.) Golfer wins tournament. "If he doesn't win the next big tournament, is this Season a waste".

4.) Hockey Player gets Arrested...for robbing a taxi driver...for 20 dollars. "Will this ruin his career"?

This insanity has got to stop! However...I will say that the 2009 sports drought has helped me to appreciate the UFC and now I am a fan for life. And the main reason is Anderson Silva. See below...



Anderson Silva makes watching a man beating another man bloody until he is temporarily brain damaged feel like you are looking at an art exhibit. In fact, the blood spatters actually look like Early Picasso paintings.

I also have to say that Sports TV isn't ALL bad. Here is a good story from Outside The Lines on ESPN. Great story...almost made a Brotha tear up!

OTL - Carry On

Rap Hater #011

MC Eiht - Straight Up Menace

Classic song from a classic movie. One of the best Song Adaptations of a movie that I have ever heard. What happened to West Coast Hip Hop?

U2 Video Tribute

I Hate U2

Here are 10 reasons why...



1.) Boner is the lead singer
2.) Boner is a douche bag
3.) U2's guitar player's name is "The Edge"
4.) Anthem Rock died 20 years ago.
5.) The Special Edition U2 Ipod



6.) Boner wears the same stupid glasses in EVERY picture.
7.) Boner's "Philantropy" never takes place without camera presence.



8.)The Song "In The Name of Love" is terrible. and it is the FIRST song that U2 fans refer to when trying to explain why they are "such an awesome band".

9.) This Picture...


10.) The U2 BlackBerry Commercial.

Rap Hater #010

Ice Cube - Wicked

I love the violent energy of the beat and the aggression and destruction in the video. Very 90's Hip Hop! But Cube was always angry for a reason and was the original socially conscious gangsta. Sad to see him doing childrens movies now, but that is a clone of how rap has sold it's soul to the record companies and advertisers.

Digital Freestyle

In honor of The Rap Hater...I have decided to become a rapper. I did extensive research to sharpen my skills. First I listened to the top 10 rap songs on Itunes and then watched 10 minutes of MTVH1BET programming. 10 plus 10 is 20 so lets get that money. Damn, I think I'm ready, Son! My Rap name is gonna be Young Ignit.

Nigga I got that muthaf*ckin gat
My mamma stole my gat so i took away her crack
Crack, Crack Crack
Pack the crack in the sack
Got the Crack in my sack Right next to my Gat
I got shoes made of leather
Expensive Sweater
I Can't pronounce the name But it cost mo' than yo jetta
Nissan, Toyota, Nigga I burn money
Use it to wipe my doo doo
Nigga you so broke
Your mouth smell like poo poo
Boo Boo Bah Bye Bye Fly
I don't gotta use words cause Nigga I'm High
Ho, Bitch, Nigga What Smoke that skunk
Yo Mamma got a big butt kick that punt
Touchdown, Nigga Free muthaf*ckin throw
And 1 in yo face, Nigga
Smell my big toe...

WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Yo I Killed It, son. I ate that Mic and spit it out Son. Then ate that shit again!!! My flow is sick!!!!
