"Fear Factor" pisses on integration

while browsing i came across a more than controversial issue... an issue that sets the bar of discrimination and racism way above everything.

a few college students made a spoof of "Fear Factor" which included the unusual eating of things that shouldn't be consumed and races of irregular proportions. so these college students, coincidentally of caucasion persuasion, had a couple of black housemaids enter this so called competition, and of course the first challenge was to eat a batch of stew with a special ingredient. as you can probably infer from the title, the special ingredient was none other than the sweet urine that we piss from our urethra... when brewing up this batch of stew the caucasion boys of course were laughing and giggling and having all types of fun while the girls awaited the surprise they were not ready for. upon eating the pissy treat the women of course vommited the hideousness right back out, and were also laughing and giggling... still not knowing what they had just let into their mouthes. at the end of the film the boys finished the production off with stating that this is how they felt about integration.

whoa buddy. this definitely sparked some controversy, its been awhile since there have been strong instances of racism in the media... how do yall feel about this one?

reasons why Michael Jackson is a LEGEND and not a rapist

commemorating MJs 25th anniversary of Thrillers release to the public eye i thought i would explain how MJ is nothing but a legend. some of yall now see MJ as a sexual predator, child molestor, etc. but my man is not... he is a LEGEND

released Thriller: a man of such high prestige that released Thriller can be nothing less than a LEGEND. he took the world by storm, and we were not ready... when i say we were not ready, im saying that this song was in the TOP 10 for a consistent year (12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,765 hours) and not only that, it was the first music video by a black performed aired by MTV!

creator of the moonwalk: he brought this legendary dance from the moon to the earth without any problems.

was able to change races: this guy has serious connections with God cause he was able to transform his black skin into a ghastly shade of white! when you and God are that tight you have gott to be known as a LEGEND on earth, right?

an amusement park in his backyard: there are lots of rich people out there... but how many of them are able to say they own multiple rollercoasters? ONE!

didnt really rape those kids: i dont care what anyone says, MJ didnt rape those children! michael invited the kid and family over, they rode the rides at tha park, came home watched some movies, had Jesus Juice and had some fun, paid for the family's expenses... AND THEY WANTED TO SUE HIM.

i couldnt go through a thorough break-down of my mans lifetime accomplishments or anything, but michael is a legend and he will always be, so stop the hate!

Lil Kim.....Was Good?!



lil kim, who is addicted to getting plastic surgeries, got another nose job..
obviously it speaks for itself.

this chick done really messed up now..lookin like somebody off the grinch who stole christmas

stussy store opens in DC.

Stussy opened a new boutique in tha D.C. today, i hopped on tha metro to check it out...


i personally thought it was an alright addition to tha district because there are hella shops that sell their material includin Commonwealth which is excactly two doors down, but I think they have some type of great partnership goin on because the people at cmonwealth were promotin their neighbors quite well.

but i am definitely a fan of Stussy and encourage everyone (men and women, alike) to check out their spring-wear here at Stussy.com and i also encourage people to check out cmonwealth.com for all their gear because its great!

benjamin bixby fashion-line to launch spring '08

coming off of a starring in Semi-Pro, andre benjamin of OutKast has announced he will be putting out his own fashion-line compromised of different and oldies ideals. andre benjamin was considered part of tha prep crew back in high-school with his legendary friend Fonsworth Bentley. benjamin feels like bringing back tha old-school prep, which didn' consist of american eagle, abercombie & fitch, aeropostale and hollister but of fashions along the lines of ralph-lauren, lacoste and Turnbull & Asser. such fashion-lines included wide-brimmed fedora hats, waistcoats and finished off with a set of leathery boots. we all know andre benjamin to have a different clothing-style than most of tha hyped celebrities of today, he tends to wear the clothing that no one is able to manage such as bright yellow pants with a matching tie and a totally different contrast of a shirt then topped with a straw-hat!?

you may not believe the description, but do i lie?...


and he doesn't even look eccentric, we can believe that andre benjamin would do it!

so andre3000 wants to launch tha 70piece fashion-line startin this spring so be on tha look out!
and also be out on tha look out for his new solo album which will dropp this fall, this guy is great

some of tha line:
shirt, pantz, belt, kickz...



prep jacket


whoa?

fresh kickz

im tha type of person that likes to be flyy as best as possible, so this weekend i felt it was time for me to boost my kick game and get some beautiful kickz. i had actually had my eye on tha nike air structure triax's, which jus came out and as soon as i saw these beauties i was really in love, i needed to have them. the intricate color scheme, jus tha overall appearance of these kickz made you love 'em, and i was surely hooked by these although they were retro's that came out once in tha early '90s...
so i asked/looked around where i could catch these spectacular kickz that recently jus came out (a week ago?) and found out that a coupla spotts in georgetown had 'em, so i hitt tha town up lookin to come back home with a unique pair of kickz but i was sadly informed by one of tha spotts that they sold out of tha shoe the day before, as did most of tha shopps in georgetown. i wasn't terribly upset because i knew kickz like these were hard to come by, so as i went to plan B and contacted my man dizzy who of course had these kickz on tha market and ready to be sold. so we talked and arranged at a price of $160, yepp i would pay $160 for these shoes even tho they were retailed at $125, but i was a desperate man and felt it was necessary.

after reflectin over my decision, i realized that these kickz were definitely nice, but were they really $35+ over retail price-nice? so i looked around major and also saw they had tha nike air revolutions, which somewhat resemble the triax's to me (maybe not to others). so i settled for these kickz...
may not be as intriguin as tha triax's but i soon became in love with these kickz as i anticipated if major had them in my size or not, i realized that these kicks may be almost as nice as the triax's and probably less recognized and a good $35 less than tha triax's, so i definitely had to copp em mayne!

but another shoe that caught my attention as soon as i walked into major were the nike air huarache 360s, which were absolutely eye-catchin! now of all the kickz i have seen in awhile, these shoes definitely had tha swag that most people were missin...
AM I LIEIN!?
but i wasnt up to tha challenge of takin these kickz to hoco, didn think they would be ready, yepp.

bmore po' dont just hate black people, they hate skaters too



and he says at tha end, "If i find my self on you--"

funny

yah im tha s#!t

alright i thought i would change it up a bitt, not talk about fashion, music, sports, etc. but hitt yall up wit a taste of self-confidence... i kno i havent posted in a while, but i thought id utilize tha time given to me from this snow day!

im not a strong believer in bein cocky or arrogant, but i try to practice being modest; however, i have realized that at times people need to realize they are tha s#!t ya know? there is a time to be modest and not shove what you gott into peoples faces, but at times there are special occassions when you need people to understand that you are in-fact tha s#!t and you run this bitch ya feel me!? on particular days, you kno you feel like dressin up and feel like bein known that day by tha public, youll have a smile on ya face and every step you take will have a hint of arrogance, cause people need to recognize you, tell me im liein? there are days when you are chilled and jus dont care about what people think, but then there are other days when you need to be known by tha world, it comes once in awhile... but if it comes too often it could be a problem cause no one really wants to be around a cocky-arrogant son of a bitch everyday cause its ignorant you kno. but every once in a while you should have your day when people need to realize that you are not a regular person, but you are tha s#!t...

so realize your inner-beauty and show it off to the world, sparingly!

nortface jackets...NOT FRESH!


yaa last year it was cool to see tha occassional person sportin tha official northface jacket, center piece zipped down and all, jus walkin down tha hallways like they owned it all. i respected them, i respected their fresh. these were the jackets that everyone died for cause they went for a good $300+ that no one could afford except for those who could barely squeak by with that type of cash on their minimum-wage paying job(s). but now it seems as though everyone has a northface and tha sadd thing is everyone has the same excact one...i try to walk into tha cafeteria and i am bombarded with a plethora of northfaces including the one to the left and the one that this young dapper chapp is wearin
i aint tryn to get on anyone's style because i have the same northface denali hoodie jacket that pretty much everyone has and i understand why, tha jackets warm and stylish, and at one point they were unique. however, after christmas rolled around everyone had this northface jacket... it is no longer fresh, yes you heard me i have dubbed em NOT FRESH! you cannot feel comfortable walkin into a building and knowing that everyone you see will be rockin tha excact same jacket you are tryn to sport, i mean dude whats good!? people would be afraid to leave their northfaces out of sight due to tha HIGH risk of bein robbed, but now people see northfaces in tha lost & found untouched! how can a style go from so raw to some slum so quickly?

so understand you will see me wearin my own northface sparingly, i will no longer OD wit tha jank. just like bape got outta style quick, so has tha northface, hopp off!

Reed Dollaz

Curren$y - Independence Day Mixtape


curren$y, aka tha hot-spitter, tabbed to him by weezy... has finally come out with a mixtape Independence Day and it is endorsin his group "fly society" he has been in for a bitt of time now

there was talk a coupla weeks ago stating that curren$y had left tha young-money label, and i was personally exhilirated because i had felt that curren$y had been done cruddy by weezy and tha rest of his label cause curren$y was tha first signee of tha label and basically had no type of muzic-time... they was sayin his album was comin out nd everything a good 2 years ago, and i mean where was it at!? while waiting for his album i had heard he had a mixtape by mick boogie so i HOPPED on it immeaditely and soon found out it was not curren$y at all, just my man weezy wit plenty of new hittz that would later be on The Greatest Rapper Alive... so i was in a slumm at first because curren$y was only known for his one hit where tha cash at and had no other type of music after that, thats not cool. so yaa i was happy about this new mixtape, and as you can see by tha name of his official mixtape Independence Day, my man feels the same way....

ESPN FRIES KWAME BROWN!

had to do it.

Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN sports analyst, publically breaks kwame brown down to his TOES in less than 2minutes.



it wasnt even tha fact that the lakers got pau gasol, its that kwame is traded from the lakers LOL

superbowl matchup


with the superbowl game a day away, i thought i would give my opinion on how tha highly anticipated superbowl XLII game would turn out... when these two teams last met on tha last week of the NFL regular season, people thought the patriots would hold strong and blow out the giants like they did to almost every other team they played (including my skins =[ ) but the giants showed em up and battled till the last minute resulting in a loss of 35-38. although the giants lost, this game shocked many football fans and told the public that the patriots are not the powerhouse that they seem to be, any team could beat them on a good day.

now 6 weeks later both of these teams, who rightfully deserve their spot, will meet again head 2 head in probably the most outrageous championship game ever. the patriots (16-0) and the giants (10-6) make up probably the worst super-bowl matchups ever because of the difference of record, however with courage and self-motivation i think the giants could win this game.

i predicted this will be a close game at the end with the resulting score of 27-24 giants. before you say this dude is crazy, he has no clue what he's spittin, just hear me out. the patriots are good, but they tend to sleep on teams at times ie. colts, eagles, ravens, and jets which all resulted in scores in tha last minutes causing the patriots to win. so if a team were to keep up with the patriots during the whole game and control the pace of the game they will be able to win, especially with the young talent of the giants against the veterans of the patriots. for the giants to win they will need to hold strong on the defensive front and they will need spectacular catches by their gifted receivers and brandon jacobs and ahmad bradshaw to STEP UP. on offense, the giants may need to keep a fast pace with LONG drives because the patriots veteran defensive players usually switch-up after a coupla plays due to fatigue, so if the giants can do unexpected no-huddles and quick counts i think they could get in tha redzone often. as for giants defense they will need to keep an eye on patriots star wideouts randy moss and wes welker who have a combined 31 TDs this entire season. the giants secondary will be key in either the giants victory or downfall. and the giants pass-rush on defense will absolutely be necessary to contain tom brady! and lastly giants special teams will also need to get their ish done! if the kick return team can get their offense good starting yardage, the giants will be able to get some points, and if the punting team can get nice long punts with great coverage, the patriots could be held to undesirable yardage. if the giants are able to work on both sides of the ball everytime, i think they will be able to keep up with the patriots and somehow pull a victory. i have the giants winnin it all 27-24.

key people:

Patriots:
-Randy Moss (WR) will need to do the usual "moss'n" for the patriots to get their points on tha board
-Wes Welker (WR) known as the secondary receiver will have to get the yards after the catch to help tha offense
-Asante Samuel (CB) has 6 interceptions this season, he is a pick-machine!
-Entire Line of LB's have dominated the rush and pass defense this season, but they are old and almost get tired
-Bill Belichick has a knack for shutting down the opposing teams number 1 receiver and has done it against every team they have played in their post-season

X-Factor: Laurence Maroney because if he is able to run the ball effectively then the patriots have another option to go to if the pass-offense doesnt go smoothly and averages 100+ yds of rushing in the last 5 games with a touchdown in each

Giants:
-Eli Manning (QB) is a young successful quarterback, but he must keep his composure in his first super bowl appearance for his team's sake
-Plaxico Burress (WR) has been talkin trash all week, theres no better time than now to prove it
-Defensive Line with players such as Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck will need to get the pass-rush on tom brady to get him out of the pocket where he is so relaxed in.
-Antonio Pierce (LB)will have to have to maintain good coverage and pass-rush to prevent long patriot drives

X-Factor: Giants DB's will need to think smart playing against the likes of Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth, and look out for the play-actions!


so think whatchu need to think about the game, im watchin it at a die-hard patriot family base so i have to root for the giants!!
