In the late 80's when the crack cocaine rage swept through the country like a Government-created epidemic in a low budget action movie, some genius in hollywood decided that the best way to keep kids from smoking rocks is to have their favorite celebrities, uncomfortably telling them how bad drugs are. Perhaps the most uncomfortable and forced anti-drug ad came at the hands of Mr. Paul Reubens (AKA Pee Wee Herman).
First of all Pee Wee Herman can never be taken seriously and "Stern Lecture" Pee Wee is even worse. His voice, his tight grey suit and his greased up hair, and pink lipstick are not really conducive to anything other than condescending laughter. But here is his Crack PSA in all of it's awkward glory.
Not really too convincing...thank God I wasn't relying on generic PSA's to keep me from smoking rocks, because Pee Wee probably wouldn't have gotten the job done. And the fact that he looks like he's in a police interrogation room doesn't really work to well either. But it wasn't until about 10 years later, where we find the true motivation behind Pee Wee's PSA. Exhibit A Below:
Anybody look familiar? That's right...That was Pee Wee, Himself shoveling coke up his foundation covered nose. Reubens' Portrayal of a Gay Hair Stylist turned Coke Dealer in the movie Blow brings to light a very disturbing truth about his previous PSA. If you go back and Watch...he doesn't say anything about Cocaine. He is specifically telling you not to smoke CRACK. So does that mean he was telling kids that it's ok to snort coke as long as you don't rock it up and smoke it? I think yes. You can't fool me Pee Wee.
I also would like to address the fact that this Movie displays the corruption of a few 80's Icons...Johnny Depp (21 Jump Street), Bobcat Goldthwait (Police Academy) and Pee Wee Herman all got caught up in the Cocaine Business in this movie. And the movie takes place predominantly through the 80's. I wonder if there is some other underlying theme behind this. Not to get ridiculous, but I'm just saying...As a 20 something or 30 something at the time this movie was released, there could be some kind of psychological damage suffered after seeing icons from your childhood or teens, strung out on coke...even if it is just a movie. Imagine if 10 years from now, Hanna Montana stars in some indie film as a Meth Whore with Raven Simone as her Lesbian Pimp. Imagine the psyco-trauma on thier fans.
PS. I would also like to acknowledge the fact that this is my second obscure Dave Chappelle Reference In a week...I am very proud of the direction that BlackDroog.com is headed.
Declaration of the Droog; Article No. 4 - ESPN College Basketball Analyst, Digger Phelps, needs to change his nickname. It's sounds waaaaaay too close to something else.
I was watching College Basketball on ESPN earlier while doing something else, and my BLack PAnther Radar kept going off. "What do you think of that, Digger." and I look up and see a bunch of young Black dudes running around on the basketball court. I say What the F*ck did that muthaf*cka just say???" And I'm ready to drive up to Conneticut and Start The Revolution, before I realize what's really going on. ANd even though I know that Digger Phelps is in the studio...I still get a little chill in my back when I hear something like; WEll, Digger, I disagree. St' Johns will not make the Tournament" and it looks like Jay Bilas is talking to Hubert Davis. And then When I'm ready to take the sledge hammer to the TV...I see Digger's old ass on the set laughing and I come back to reality. But once it gets to the point of "Those Diggers on the court are really playing thier Lil Black Digger hearts out". That's when I start to think that there are other motives...Racist motives. Well...that last one was made up, but you see my point. Digger Phelps Needs a new Nickname because it is just entirely too close to sounding like something else. Here are my top 5 Digger Phelps Nickname Replacement's
1.) Cracka Phelps 2.) P Diggy 3.) Big Dig (This requires a "no homo" or a "pause" disclaimer) 4.) Dig Dug (After the Video Game) 5.) Digga, Please.
Bill Belichick - New England Patriots In what NBC dubbed "The Rivalry of the Decade", The Patriots dominated the Colts until the 4th Quarter and found themselves up by 6 and desperately in need of a First Down or a Touchdown in order to run out the clock and win the game...Well things didn't really go as planned and when the Patriots ended up in a 4th and 2 situation with little over 2 minutes remaining, Big Bill chose to NOT to punt. The 4th Down Conversion failed. Colts Get the ball, Damn Near in the Red Zone. Later, Peyton Manning found Reggie Wayne in the end zone. Colts win by 1.
FOr the Record...I personally believe that Bill made a good call, but the Damn Homies are beyond my personal Opinion. Bills decision had nothing to do with a lack of confidence in his defense. If You are up 6 with 2 minutes left the last thing you want to do is give the ball to Peyton Manning. And the truth is that the Colt's would have scored regardless of where they got the ball. So Bill was playing to win the ball. If he doesn't have confidence that Tom Brady can't Convert a 4-2, then he shouldn't be coaching the New England Patriots. And to all of those people that say Belichick didn't give the Defense a chance to win the Game...1.) The Game wasn't over and even when the offense is close to the end Zone, it is still the defense's job to stop them. and 2.) When you say that the Defense wasn't given a chance to win the game, Not only are you saying that "The Defense Can't Stop this offense from this close" you are also saying that your offense in incapable of converting a 4th Down in this situation. And what pisses me off the most about this is that I am fully confident in my abilities of perception, that if Faulk got those extra 6 inches and got the first down, these same people would be calling Bill Belichick a geneus for making such a gutsy call. Hypocrites? I wouldn't go that far yet, but we'll see what happens the next time a coach makes a Ballsy call that works.
Back in the day, Bo Jackson was the man! He played football AND baseball and was good at both. Here is an awesome Nike commercial that parodies that fact that dude was a multi sport talent. And by the way...his nikes were highly coveted by the young Black Droog...Unfortunately, I never got a pair of those either...They are filed in the section of my brain under "Repressed Childhood Heartbreak" right next to the file on my Nike Air Crystal Meth's.
This album was the perfect Wu-Album and epitome of why they were the dominant Hip Hop Group in their prime. The beats were dirty, hard-hitting, and creative...and the rhymes were always on point. And the TItle Track is an all time CLassic Rap Song. GZA definitely lives up to why he is a considered a Hip Hop Genius.
Today's rap is too mechanical and clean sounding. I think it's mainly due to the overabundance of technological sound manipulating devices and software. If you have access to 6,000 Dollar software suite, you have to use it, RIght! Well, My Rap Hater Ear will take a drum mcahine, a record player and a sampler over that hi-tech sh!t any day.
Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears QB Thursday Night Football...0 Touchdowns...5 interceptions...2 of those interceptions came in the Red Zone. The last one of the 2 was in the End Zone with the Bears losing to the 49ers by 4 points with less than 10 seconds left in the game. Last year you were a Prow Bowl QB...Then you got a new Coach...Then you started b!tching...then you got traded...Now you lead the League in Interceptions and the Bears have a record of 4-5...and your Former Team is #1 in the Division.
Damn, Homie!!! Or should I really be saying...Damn, Lovie [Smith]!!!
To Make Cutler's day even worse...Jay was fined today (November 13) for "verbally abusing" a ref during last Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The fine was $20,000
I got an email from a friend of mine asking me to comment on the Cypher from the 2009 ___ Hip Hop Awards. I have seen these in the past and they are normally good. One observation is that most of the people that they pair up together don't match...I realize that the point is to get a bunch of rappers together from different places to show the "unity" in Hip Hop, but sometimes the featured artists are so random, that you spend more time thinking about how random they are instead of listening to their clever punch lines.
I will also say that this year's crop of Cyphers demonstrate in numerous ways how terrible the standards of modern-day rap fans have become. And before you say; "Rap Hater...Stop Hatin...You always hatin, Hater" I would like to point out the fact that there are both positive and negative examples that prove my thesis. I will also respond by saying...I'm The Rap HAter...WHat do you expect?"
So with all of that said, I watched each of the 3 (please tell me if there are more) Cypher Sessions From the 2009 Hip Hop Awards and made notes on each.
Nicki Minaj, Buckshot, Crown Royyal, Joe Budden
First of all...Who the f*ck is Crown Royyal? And why is he so happy without being funny. If you smile Rap, I at least expect to laugh, but this dude didn't even seem like he was trying to be funny. I'm sorry, but if You are too Happy AND not funny, you creep me out.
Nicki Minaj made me excited to see that, despite her horrible stage name, she was a respected Female "MC". I haven't heard the words "Respected" "Female" and "MC" used in a sentence together in about 10 years since Kim fell off, Foxy went Insane, Latifah started doing movies, and Lauren Hill just gave up. However...After listening to Ms. Minaj's rhymes in the cypher, I was immediately disappointed...Freestyle is Supposed to be improvised...and even though most rappers don't kick true freestyles, they at least try to pretend that they are really freestyling. The one thing that they definitely don't do is include way to many choreographed moves and ad-libs, or staged props (ie. Minaj's cigarette stunt.) SHe was way to animated and overacted the whole time...she even dropped that gem of a line; "Minde Ya Beez Wax"...I simply cannot, in good conscience, condone any foolishness like that. But there is a reason why Ms. Minaj is celebrated and it is definitely not her rhymes...I'll let Al Pacino Explain.
Calm Down, Al...there are several of rumors throughout the internet that imply that the ass Fake! And that is a damn shame. Fake Boobs, Fake Ass and Weak Rhymes is the best way for a "Respected" Female MC to fade into obscurity. Google Results for "Nicki Minaj Fake Booty"
But Back to the point...Next up is Buckshot who is one of my favorite Rappers and one of the prominent figures from the Golden Era of Hip Hop...and for some reason, I felt like he was out of place on this thing. I love Buckshot, but I kinda didn't want to hear him rap in this setting. I guess I felt that he was in a league that he didn't belong in, like if Lebron James went to College. You would look at his games and almost feel guilty that he was playing against people who are so far beneath his talent level. But that's just me.
Then There's Mr. Joe Budden...I never liked Joe Budden, I never liked his voice, but I respect him as a "Legitimate MC" and see why people would like him...Just not me. His verse was ok, but came off a bit lazy.
Mos Def, Black Thought, Eminem
This installment was a pleasant surprise...Here you have 3 of the Greatest MC's of any era spittin' at the same time. Whoever picked the lineups made a very intelligent decision and should be commended. In this context, it is essential to keep these 3 segregated from the others. WIth the exception of Buckshot and Maybe Budden on a good day, the other participants would be truly, embarrassed to share the stage with Mos Def, Black THought or Eminem. And the Rap Hater Twist is that all 3 of these MC's are from the 90's era...Late 90's, but still 90's. And that is why this years Cypher series demonstrates how terrible the standards of today's Rap Fans are because these three artists could absolutely NOT have shared camera time with any of the new generation participants without making them look ridiculous.
It's always refreshing to see Mos Def spit some real Hip Hop sh!t...he's been kind of incognito in the rap game for the past couple years, and I fear that he might be moving closer and closer towards becoming another WIll Smith. He publicly has said that Acting is his true passion and If you have ever seen Bamboozled (My Other Favorite Movie) you know that he is a damn good actor. That album Ecstatic that he dropped earlier this year with Madlib was decent, but most of Madlib's beats were old, so it took a little away from it...So, Like I said...It's always great to hear Mos on the Mic.
As Far As Black Thought...There isn't much to say. Dude is Nice. And most rappers can't f*ck with him on any level. Period. THis verse was Business as Usual for Mr. THought.
And Finally Eminem...forget all the silly songs, cross-dressing, Hilarious Nick CAnnon Diss tracks...this is Eminem's element. And when he is in his element, he is among the best. And let's be honest...Eminem's skill on the mic is Embarrassing a lot of Black Rappers out there that attempt to write him off because he's White and From Detroit...but The Wigga is a beast.
Wale, Nipsey Hussle, Gsan
I have to admit that after Wale, I stopped watching. Wale is a fresh new face DC which is grossly underrepresented in Hip Hop Community. Wale rep's his hood like the best of them and is witty enough to get respect Rap snobs while pleasing the masses. The only gripe I have with dude is that he sometimes seems like he's bored. But at least his name isn't Gsan.
UPDATE:
I missed one...
Ace Hood, Juelz Santana, Fabolous, Jadakiss
In a way it is good that I saved this one for last...even if it was by mistake. THis was the most enjoyable. All 4 Killed it. Haven't heard much from Ace hood outside of this, but on this verse, he actually gave me some hope of a better Hip Hop future...Crazy Flow!
Listening to Juelz Santana used to be a guilty pleasure of mine...He never rapped about anything of substance and he often rambled (example: "Choo Choo Train, Kook A Mayne, Zulu Game...") but i enjoyed his flow and the beats during the DipSet era were unparallelled (Listen to Diplomatic Immunity...any song). But I was plesently surprised to hear him spit something coherent and a bit comical on this. "You can buy the Rag, You can Buy the Bags, But it ain't no sign that say they Sell Swag".
Then there's Fab. Mr. Mixtape. Fab, like Eminem, is in his element on this one. He has always been one of those dudes that was a beast on the Mixtapes and Freestyles, but gravitated to the Pop side on his album. In this Cypher, he didn't disappoint. "Cause Everybody comin in the year is failin'...ask Why...and they just play Sarah Palin"
And finally, Jadakiss. Kiss is a Monster and I have no comment...I'll let his words tell it for me. "I know you herad of Kiss/This is the Cypher/I Murdered It". Yes he did.
The Declaration of the Droog; Article No. 3 - All Rappers and other Celebrities, please stop making songs about and constantly talking about "Haters" all the damn time! We don't even know who they are and we don't care if they hurt your feelings.
The "Hater" is probably the easiest and most frequent target in all of hip hop music. Seems like almost every album has the generic song dedicated to the "Haters" where the artist begs and pleads these unknown figures to stop hating on them all while simultaneously saying that the "hater's can't fade me, son"...so then why the f*ck do you keep talking about them...and who the f*ck are they? And if you think i'm overreacting, I did a search for "Hater" on iTunes and it produced a list of 200 songs with the word "Hater" in the title. Note that I didn't search for "Hate" "Hating", or even "Hataz".
Examples of Hater Songs: Hi Hater - Maino Hate Me Now - Nas Hate - Jay-Z Some People Hate - Jay-Z Hate on Me - Jill Scott Playa Hata - Luniz
I am convinced that most of these "Haters" that everybody with a record deal refers to, probably do not exist. Reason being, that when you are in a business where arrogance is celebrated and humility is interpreted as a weakness, you need haters to validate how successful you are. And even if you don't have any Haters, you have to create them. I also believe that people who obsess over haters are so self absorbed that they misinterpret things like criticism and advice as "Hate" even if those so-called Haters are speaking in their best interest. So The Question I have is; How many of you poor victims of those mean ol' Haters actually sat back and asked yourself if the Haters are telling the truth? My guess is that in many situations, some of them might actually be telling you some sh!t that you need to hear but don't want to hear at the time. And since you don't want to hear the truth, it's easy to just brush everything off as "Hate". THen you empower, justify and validate the haters by complaining about them all of the damn time.
I think that Katt Williams summed up the Hate Debate with such genius that it should have ended the trend of Hater SOngs forever...
Preach, Brotha Katt!!!
However, I believe that many people who don't even have haters took his advice about collecting haters to another level and actually started Fabricating them. So let's stop making hater songs, because if you REALLY don't care about them, you wouldn't address them. and if you really do need them to validate your success, then rap about how much you need them and how about instead of calling them "Haters" you call them what they really are...your Fans.
I have recently become a fan of the UFC...and I have been watching the reality show The Ultimate Fighter on Spike. Great Show!. Each week the cocah from the winning team pics a fighter from his team to fight somebody from the other team. The fights ultimately decide who moves on to the next level...Coach Rampage Jackson's team sucks! I'm sure they are good fighters (they have Kimbo Slice) but they lost 7 fights in a row...and the Train Wreck occured after loss #7, when Rampage violently took his frustrations out on the set and brutally beat a wooden door to death. Later Everybody clowned him; making comments like "The last thing you want to be on The Ultimate Fighter is a door." and "It's easy to beat a door...Doors don't fight back." and my personal favorite..."The worst part about it is now everybody sees how cheap our f*cking set is." Rampage later expressed his remorse and embarrassment for loosing his temper, followed by a heart-felt apology to the door. However, despite all of the jokes, the entire situation still made him look like a jackass and a spoiled brat.
Earlier this month, a friend of mine consulted me for an article he was writing on Jay-Z. It was Published in a Brooklyn Newspaper called Brooklyn Today. The Full Article is below...
Jay-Z Turns 40 On Top Of The World By: Chris Opfer Wednesday November 4, 2009
Rapper turned entrepreneur Jay-Z turns 40 this December and, if his latest record’s success and expanding portfolio are an indication, he’s poised to continue to be a captain of both music and industry. Jay-Z, who grew up as Sean Carter in the Marcy Houses project in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, has sold more than 30 million albums over the course of his 13-year career.
With his latest record, The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z passed Elvis for the most solo albums to reach Billboard’s top spot.
He’s also developed a range of lucrative business ventures from record and clothing labels to a vodka distributor and professional basketball team.
Jay-Z’s success - as both an artist and a businessman - is arguably as much about marketing as it is about the product.
In the late ’90s, he successfully inserted himself into the “best MC” debate, comparing himself to big hitters Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G. and Nas.
By prematurely announcing his retirement from hip hop in 2003, Jay-Z has created buzz around his later albums, keeping fans guessing which will be his last.
“Jay is at a stage in his career where he dictates what people consider to be ‘cool’ and ‘good’… if Jay says it's popular, then it is accepted as a truth,” said Black Droog, proprietor of entertainment blog The Black Droog.
In 2002, he shifted the style of a generation of rap fans simply by proclaiming “I don't wear jerseys, I'm 30 plus/Give me a crisp pair of jeans and a button up," on hit single What More Can I Say.
Jay-Z has proven he has a keen eye not only for what is hot, but also whom, developing a number of successful protégés including Kanye West.
His knack for trend setting also helped Jay-Z earn success in a variety of business ventures, including Roc-A-Fella Records and Roccawear, a retail clothing line that he reportedly sold for $204 million in 2007.
Yet, while aging rockers such as the Rolling Stones and U2 have continued to milk their commercial appeal decades into their careers, it is yet to be seen whether an “over the hill” MC with 11 studio albums under his belt - and a reported net worth of $150 million - can keep his finger on the pulse of hip hop fans.
“You have to keep in mind that the hip hop genre itself is no more than about 30 years old. The guys who are getting older now never had the commercial success that Jay-Z has enjoyed,” Droog noted.
Droog added that Jay-Z “doesn't have to adapt to what's popular because he has positioned himself to be an authority in the music business.”
All signs are that Jay-Z remains the most influential and popular rapper in the game today. The three studio albums released since his supposed retirement have each sold over 1 million copies.
Meanwhile, he’s making waves at home as part of an ownership group seeking to move the New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn in 2011.
Perhaps the essence of Jay-Z’s appeal is best summed up by the artist himself: “I’m not a business man, I’m a business, man.”
Declaration of the Droog; Article No. 2 - Dear ESPN, please stop including long ranged buzzer beaters that are NOT game winners in your SportsCenter Top 10...They are Boring and irrelevant.
Buzzer Beaters that do not result in the team winning the game are irrelevant to everybody who didn't shoot the shot. When I played Basketball in High School...my coaches actually discouraged these shots due to their irrelevant nature. So with that said...why waste 30 seconds of a Top 10 highlight reel by including an irrelevant shot. If it comes at the end of the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Quarter of a basketball game, it means nothing and is boring to watch. You could have easily picked a dunk that came during a 40 point Blow out, and it would be more exciting. HOWEVER...Buzzer Beaters that occur at the end of the 4th Quarter or OT and result in a win for the Shooter's team, are awesome...I just don't believe people should be forced to figure out if they should be excited or not about the shot in your highlight reel so they should all be shots like this:
As my readership has recently increased, several people have asked me what "Droog" means. For those that don't know...SHame on you. But while you are wallowing in your shame you might as well get educated as well. A Clockwork Orange is my favorite movie of all time. It is a dark and humorous social commentary that examines human behavior by exploring the relationship between inherent violence vs self restraint, choice vs. instinct. It was Written and Directed by Stanley Kubrick and is based on a book by the same title. Alex, the main Character, Speaks in a broken English part Scottish part Irish part Russian part Imaginary Dialect and calls his friends his "Droogs."
And since the dawn of the internet age, I was never good at picking cool screen names and aliases, so I took "Droog" and Slapped "Black" in front of it because, ummm...I'm Black. Unfortunately, there's no other meaning behind the name than that. And As unimaginative as that might seem, it is still very effective so that's what it is. And with that said, let us now enjoy a great scene from a great movie.
Declaration of the Droog; Article No. 1 - Hand Sanitizer does not and will not replace soap and water...ever! So please wash your dirty ass hands!
All you nasty, crusty hand bastids out there that stocked up on Purell in fear of Swine flue STILL need to wash your dirty ass hands!!!. Hand Sanitizer should be used in addition to Soap and water or in situations when a sink is unavailable. I'm tired of seeing Public Hand Sanitizer bottles all over the place that are covered with black dirt residue crusted on the pump. If your dirty ass hands are dirty when you use these public pumps, then you leave that dirty ass dirt all over the pump. Then when I come around with my clean hands to use the public pump, my sh!t ends up dirtier than it was in the first place, because I had to bathe my hand in black ass pump dirt just to get the hand sanitizer out in the first place. Also...If you constantly use the same brand of Hand Sanitizer in the same locations, eventually the SAME germs and bacteria that you constantly come in contact with will develop an immunity and you are just rubbing cold grease on the same germs. So that means that you nasty Bastids need to wash your dirty ass hands!
Sammy What the f*ck is wrong with you, Sammy? Seriously, Sammy...What the f*ck are you doing, Sammy? Are you serious with this bullsh!t, Sammy? Skin Rejuvenation, Sammy? Really, Sammy? Bad Lighting, Sammy? Really? Where is Ed Lover when we need him the most?? Well, Since Ed Lover hasn't touched this yet, I'll do the Honors for him...C'mon Son...F*ck outta here with that bullsh!t, Sammy...You ain't white, Son.

The first time I saw this back in the day I was dumbfounded, shocked and disgusted. I said to myself: "What the f*ck!!! Why Is the Mamma from Good Times on TV Wearing a set of Curtains peddling a Psychic Hotline? Damn, Damn Daaaaamn Florida...Say it ain't so!!!" But it was real and perhaps the most dusturbing thing about this bullsh!t was that it looked like somebody actually put some real thought into this thing. Because this was back in the Miss Cleo Era and the old black Psychic Lady's were what was hot in the streets at the moment.
I understand that sometimes Washed up Celebrities go broke and need some money, but as much of an Icon that Florida Evans was, this should have been a breach of some kind of contract. THe COntract that says you cannot go on TV Using your name to intentionally make a fool of yourself. And Made a fool of herself is exactly what she did. I'm sure that somebody was shooting a slave movie or something that required an old black grandma anything but this. But apparently not. Thanks for the Train Wreck, Esther. Rest In Peace.
So...only a few Days ago Roy "I'm Overpaid and too lazy to do my job and don't want to get hit so I run out of bounds at the sight of a potential hit" E. WIlliams publicly criticized Tony Romo for not giving him the same quality passes that he throws to Miles Austin and Patrick Crayton. His gripe was that he wasn't given the same opportunity as all of the other offensive players on the Dallas Cowboys to contributed to the success of the team. He also went on to say that "I’m the No. 1 receiver, but things are just going No. 2’s way.". Without going into too much of a rant, I will simply say that everything I just mentioned, in addition to Williams' declaration "I'm No T.O. is bullsh!t. Being the highest paid doesn't make you the No. 1, Roy. Catch the ball and stop playing like a b!tch!!!
Tony Romo responded first to the media by brushing off the whole situation and insisting that this was not another T.O. situation, then in the ultimate display of Poetic Justice, Romo Passes to Williams ALL night on Sunday. Roy ended with 5 receptions for 75 yards. Not Bad...But Definitely Not Great. Miles Austin had 1 catch all night...A Touchdown Catch...The Game Winning Touchdown Catch.
Attention Roy E. Williams...Shut the hell up and do your f*%@$#$!! JOB!!! And another thing, when you get the ball and a safety is running towards you, Please don't run your b!tch ass out of bounds to avoid contact. Stiff Arm that bastid and take the damn ball in the end zone!!!"
After a brief Hiatus, oh my brothers, BlackDroog.com is still alive. During the Bye month, there have been a few revelations and reevaluations that have forced me to make some changes and updates to all the greatness that the 3 (sometimes 4) readers have grown to love about this mediocre website. So here you go.
Site Updates:
The Rap Hater Experiment will Resume, with New Direction...I will now focus on Entire Albums from the 90's. Classics, Personal Favorites and Obscure finds that I may Have Missed the first time around instead of random songs...this will give me a clearer vision of how much better 90's Hip Hop is compared to the Hip hop of the last 10 years.
The Rock Hater is my attempt to diversify my fanbase and focus my attentions on sh!tty Rock Music. It will include reviews, recommendations and videos, just as the Rap Hater.
The Damn, Homie Awards will temporarily be dedicated primarily to Professional Athletes. It Seems like the only people deserving of Damn Homie Honors have been Athletes, so why not dedicate the Damn, Homies to them...for now.
The Bret Farve Hall of Fame will now be called the Derek Anderson Hall of Fame and Include people that should have probably chosen different career paths in addition to those that should Retire. Since Bret is playing well, I will temporarily change the name to a more fitting one.
I have also added the Following New Blog Series:
"Shut Yo Ass Up" - A collection of Ignorant Quotes.
"Absolute Train Wreck" A Showcase of Random Stories, Articles, Videos found through my travels that are disturbing, gross or embarrassing but can not be ignored.
"Confessions of A Suburban Black Dude" - Random comments designed to dispel the harsh myths and misconceptions plaguing the population of Suburban Black Dudes.
The Declaration of The Droog - New Rules and Advice for a better life based on daily observations.
And, don't worry, all of the Maniacal rants and random Ignorance that you have come to love will continue to pollute this website.
Forget about Jim Zorn, If any Coach should have his job in question for dragging his entire team to hell due to his poor decision making, it should be Jeff Fisher. To follow up on 2008's nearly perfect Regular Season, the Titans started this season 0-6 with old ass, washed up, mediocre on a good day Kerry Collins leading the offense. So after being 6 losses deep, Fisher decides to start Vince Young. Following that decision, not only do the Titans Get 2 wins in 2 games, they also put up 64 points in 2 games which is only 20 points LESS than they scored in the previous 6 games.
