[re-up] chris breezy

2008-07-15T10:37:00.000-04:00

there's been a lot of talk about chris brown lately dealing with the supposed feud with ne-yo and his new chick rihanna. so it has been said that chris brown was talking a bit of smack about ne-yo's singing abilities and how it is not on that type of level in which chris brown is on. also chris brown felt there was a need to bring up the selling of albums, in which he saw that his last album outsold ne-yos! chris was really looking to get at ne-yo mayne! however, these words did not fall upon deaf ears! ne-yo heard these insults and began a counter-attack and of course on wayne's a milli beat. i feel that this diss was lethal, just check it for yourself. ne-yo made a statement in this feud giving out points about his bankroll, as well as how rihanna's favorite song is his!? i just want to see how this falls, especially with rihanna stuck in the mix. rihanna now finds herself in between her boo, chris breezy, and song writer and label-mate, ne-yo. ooh i just want to see what happens next man!

enough about the diss, but check brown's new hair-do.

at first i wondered, why this man would do this, then i accepted it and realized it was rather dashing. look out for this style on my head sooner or later mayne, chris can start a mess and keep his hair on point, i feel you brah!

i was put on by b.stango for this ne-yo video a mili remix-

2008-06-30T22:06:00.005-04:00

I'm a giver, also known as a people-pleaser, but most of you already know this. why else would i have this blog out if it weren't to help the public, you gott me?
so as a part of my enthusiasm to please others i present The Happening, got fresh?'s first compilation of must-have music

WANTED.

2008-06-30T20:10:00.002-04:00

wanted. probably the best summer blockbuster thus far of the summer of '08, realize it. the special effects are great, whether it topps the matrix or not is questionable but the matrix set a new standard of effects in movies so determine for yourself; however, the plot is twisted and quite original, and angelina jolie is bad. like let me dropp to my knees bad, in this movie. a simple synopsis: nerdy, whack guy (your typical slacker) is put on by a group of legendary assassins to become top-notch and a fierce power mover since he is told his alleged father was killed by some awry yo who has betrayed these group of assassins. that's all i'm saying because i don't want to spoil it for the public, but the movie is superb and it's worth your $10, depending on where you see it at.

other summer blockbusters to look for:

batman (rip heath)
hancock
wall-e (better than toy story?)

chappelle sighting?

2008-06-24T09:08:00.005-04:00

comedian, dave chappelle, was seen with fellow comedian chris tucker in LA the other day.
my question for dave is "where have you been?"

i have been anxious for new episodes from the show and standups on iTUNES, but you have been MIA for some time now! before chappelle left for South Africa he stated that the show was ruining his life because it was interfering with his stand-up comedies which is seen as his main objective in life. but the guy is back and seems to be having a great time in the state's, so when will i be getting more mr. chappelle?

new supra kickz

2008-06-24T09:02:00.004-04:00

i'm not quite positive why i love these kickz so much, it may be the futuristic design that makes me feel like i can bounce on the moon, or the silver mesh that will allow my feet to breathe. who knows but they are second on my to-buy list.

fashion go-go or fashion no-no, you tell me?

wayne complimented by hova

2008-06-24T08:52:00.004-04:00

on Mr. Carter of tha Carter III the world's greatest, aka jay-z, gives wayne bigg ups!! but wayne doesn't even realize it...

jay's verse:

I’m right, cheah
In my chair
With my crown, with my dear
Queen Bee, as I share
Mic time, with my heir
Young Carter
Go farther
Go further
Go harder
Is that not
Why we came? and if not,
Then why bother?

then wayne had an interview with Rolling Stones saying-

That line right there was hard! Unbelievable. I didn’t even realize it at first. My homie had to tell me “You know what he said, right?” I didn’t even get it. I was like, “Why is he saying ‘air’? Is he just talking about the air?” But I’m smart enough to know that he’s smart enough not to just be talking about the air. I felt real dumb, but then I felt so good. It was an incredible compliment.

Kells has been acquitted.

2008-06-13T21:43:00.005-04:00

friday, robert kelly was found innocent of all counts on child pornography that occured about 10 years ago.

key facts of the case:
-the chick was 13yrs old and was looking mean, so mean that any man woulda mistaken her for a grown lady, so i don't blame him!

-the chick and r.kelly both denied being in the video, and this chick also never testified, so of course the state was gonna lose.

-determining factor of the case: a mole seen on the lowerback of the male in the video, the defense attorney was so nice that they had the jury think it was television "noise"

that was a close one kellz!

2008-06-10T16:09:00.004-04:00

our boyy gilbert has opted out of his last year of the wizard's contract, and i'm really not sure how i feel about this. gil is undeniably a great player, but i don't think the wizards need him to succeed because we probably had the best chemistry of the season without him while having caron/antawn lead the pack.

needless to say, gil has done great things for the wizards, given us the exposure we need and leading us to the playoffs, but i think i feel him on dipping out. wizards have done their best for him, but i think he wants to be able to exceed the first round of the playoffs and he sure has the talent to do so. it may be the time for him to join another team with fresher, younger players and set up a small dynasty before he hitts retirement age. i'm sitting here waiting for him to update his blog so i can find answers that many NBA fans are seeking, why and where to?

btw, be on the look out for the Celtics taking their third victory of the finals tonight!

x.o. was putt on to me through my cousin's blog, he's unfamiliar but give him a chance, you will understand when you bless your ears.

it was my first experience dealing with tyga, a young money prodigy, i was indecisive when I clicked the download button, but he's proven himself worthy. there is hope for the young-money label!

DC rappers are getting signed and to celebrate Marky gave us the homework 4.3, you need it!

anyway..check the video out..

shia labeouf.

2008-05-28T21:42:00.005-04:00

it's prolly hard for many of you to comprehend why i am putting up a total post dedicated to shia labeouf. for those who haven't put this name to memory, its the same kidd that played louis in even stevens, a childhood show that we must have all enjoyed once in our life if you were a '90s baby. if you're a '90s baby you constantly hear about the thrills we missed out on since we failed to be born in the '80s, but these same '80s children are forgetting that we had some sources of exhiliration of our own.

i won't be silly and say even stevens was a great show, or even close to it, but it was entertaining and one of the reasons was because of our homeboy shia labeouf. but no one thought shia could play a role other than the bratty, irresponsible little brother until he whoa'd the public with Disturbia. yes Disturbia, if you haven't seen it your lacking theatric essentials necessary for life, the movie was so good i had to see it twice in theaters. some of you may ask about shia's performances in holes and the greatest game ever played, well i won't lie holes was critical to my elementary life, i loved it... but i didn't find the greatest game ever played to be that necessary for my life, i actually slept through it 3 different times, sorry.

but Disturbia brought shia out of his hole, and thereafter he performed in transformers, also a great movie, and now he's one of the leading actors in Indiana Jones (i was on set for the filming, shout out to the explo fam). it seems as if shia is one of the hottest actors on the market right now, he's in clutch movies and he's not done yet, another one of his movies is coming out: Eagle Eye. i don't quite understand the plot of the movie yett, but nevertheless if shia's in it, i'm there. thats how it is for me, if shia's performing in it, i'm there like swimwear and you better belee dat.

its because of great roles like such that make me such a fan of shia labeouf and believe that he is one of the game's underdogs at the moment (DctoBc for top 5 underdogs at the moment). the boy has skill and its been fully proven, do me a solid and just check out trailers for his movies, thats it and you'll understand.

summer

2008-05-26T21:56:00.005-04:00

its almost summer and everyone is feelin' it, through the gorgeous weather or just the overall ambiance of the days left until summer is actually here. i'm personally excited for the summer, actually im ecstatic. the weather is great, music is pouring out into the public, there is cash to be made, and there are kidz to school on the court, belee dat. i'm almost done with school, there is a total of 14 days left for non-graduated high school students, check your calendars if you don't believe me. as for classes i consider myself done with 'em, i have taken all the core testing for the year and these teachers actually believe they will have me doing additional work other than study for their finals. i'm dunzo w/ school till next year babay.

i have the job waiting for me the day school ends, lifetime summer camp counselor, yzr i'm taking care of kidz maybe 3-years younger than me, i will definitely need the Lord's guidance. but there is money to be made! with that cash i will be getting serious with all aspects of my life, my clothing and kick game will be proper, my car will look and sound great (king kong will be in tha trunk), my electronic game will be on point, as if it werent already? just expect a new me when we come back from the break alright?

the hip-hop game right now is fire and mainstream rappers aren't totally responsible, check the cool kids new mixtape the bake sale EP, wale's mixtape about nothing is launching this week and there is much to be expected from that, marky released his homework 4.3. the summer's releases look radiant, mainstream and underground musicians are putting their all into their works and i'm pumped.

well i'm just ready for the summer mayne.

mTV's greatest emcee's

2008-05-18T23:40:00.005-04:00

it should be a known fact by now that mTV recently published a list of the 10 greatest emcee's that hip-hop has seen and i'm gonna speak my mind on their decisions.

1. kanye west- you already know how i feel about 'Ye right now, he's hott and no one is seeing him thus far. he's ahead of the game, hell he is at his prime and i don't have many people that i feel could top him at #1 right now, but if we were speaking about consistency then i would without a doubt put young hova in his position.

2. jay z- jay is extravagant, he is good at what he does but will the man ever really stay retired? he putts out the greatest music and has one of the finest chickz in the game, jay z deserves to be at #2 if not #1. he's been in the game for a minute and he knows the trickz of the trade if he wasn't always claiming to be retired he would respectively be the king pin

3. lil wayne- he's a bad-ass mofo and no one can stop him as of now, he is definitely the greatest freestyler alive and i'd put my money on him being the greatest rapper alive. he is on at all times but his works are leaked too quickly, i have put a stop to downloading anything with weezy in it until the Carter III drops but he is numero 3

4. rick ross- i'm skeptical about this one, ross is good but is he great? i feel there are better people like lupe and andre3000 that could surpass him, actually to be true i don't believe he deserves to be anywhere in the top 5. i totally disagree with this one.

5. snoop dogg- honestly you put this guy after rick ross? it must be a joke, snoop d-o-double gizzay is not new to the game and he won't be leaving anytime soon. he puts our superb music and he topped the charts with sexual eruption (we are dirty around here), the guy looks like he is past 40, he has probably past his prime but when he retires the game will surely miss him

6. 50cent- curtis fiddy jackson may have been allowed to be in the top 5 if he were in his prime, when Get Rich or Die Tryn' came out but since then the man has slacked drastically putting more effort in being an entrepreneur then in his music, nonetheless he puts out jamz and you can't hate him for it

7. lupe fiasco- young lulu reppn FNF till he dies is the young sensation, he's new to the mainstream game but he acts like he isn't. his albums are top-notch competing with the bests and he is never belittled, it's sad to hear that he will be done shortly but i'm expecting lupEND to be magnificent wait for it after the jump (btw, i think lupe is greater than rick ross)

8. young jeezy- the man came into the game with diddy's boyz n tha hood, and realized he didn't need the group to shine, he left and walked into success. i have this guy being one of the top 3 spitterz in the game at the moment the snowman is here to stay

9. andre 3000- why is this man number #9, he is easily in the top 3 and for the longest period of time outkast brought the hottest music to the game whether you classified it as hip-hop, rock, or rap. andre 3000 is sophisticated and fire, i disagree with his placement.

10. t.i.- last but not least our man clifford tip harris, ends the list. ti is not one of my favorite rappers but he is good, i'm not sure if he's in my top 10, in fact i don't think he's in my top 20; however, the man is good

you've heard my opinion now let me give you my top 10 w/o any explanations, i want you to dwell on em

1. andre 3000
2. lil wayne
3. jay z
4. lupe fiasco
5. snoop dogg
6. kanye
7. jeezy
8. bun-b
9. nas
10. ll cool j

(wasn't much of 2pac or biggie head, they were great lyricist but they weren't me)

yeezy's on fire

2008-05-16T18:35:00.004-04:00

all year i have wondered "where is the good music?" and i can honestly say that kanye has brought the fire back into hip-hop in this short time frame. we lived in the world of crank this-and-that, yahhing various tricks, and getting silly, but then kanye puts out, remixes, and features the best music i have heard in all of '08. the guy is undeniably hotter than fire especially with the glow in the dark tour he just had in the area, the stories i am hearing about it makes me quite upset because i passed it up...however, yeezy's champion-like swag makes him that much more superb in my book, he's something like a role model to me (right after will smith and pharrell).

good grief will someone wipe this man down?

i believed that hip-hop was truly dead but with the combined forces of hip-hop elites including kanye, pharrell, weezy, and lupe as well as the plethora of rising artists... hip-hop can be revived. summer hasn't even began and i'm excited n*e*r*d's album is coming, weezy's will be eargasmic and i see that celebrities are craving each other (congrats to chris brown and rihanna, and what's really good with mariah and nick?). summer is just something you gotta love and kanye has me boosted for it.

btw check this man's blog, i'm not even sure if he really writes on it but its swaggerific

most addicting game...ever!

true love......?

2008-05-09T08:07:00.003-04:00

People magazine is in stores now and you can see all of the wedding photos from Mariah and Nick Cannon. But after reading the interview we decided to pull some of the best quotes so you can read what’s really going on.

Nick Cannon: “From the
first time we sat down to discuss the video at the Beverly Hills Hotel, we
connected. We had so much in common spiritually, and we laugh at the
same things. I didn’t have to put on my Mac Daddy suave mode. I was able to be
myself with her. We are both eternally 12 years old.“

Mariah Carey: “One thing (few people) knew was we
got tattoos a few weeks earlier. So anyone who saw my (Mrs. Cannon) tattoo
wasn’t surprised.”

Nick Cannon
said, “To me rings are special and exciting, but tattoos mean more than
anything. They’re forever and ever. They professed our
love.”

Mariah Carey: “It’s part of the whole purpose
of getting married. I’d just want our children to have the best
childhood and upbringing they possibly could.”

**

So now I want to know a few things. Is Mariah preggers? And will tattoos replace wedding rings as the new it thing to do before you get married? And what about that age difference?

New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne can add another notch to his list of accomplishments.
The "Lollipop" hitmaker who recently did some voice-over work for famed cartoon, The Boondocks, has been casted opposite Forest Whitaker in an upcoming film tentatively titled, The Patriots.
The movie, which is directed by Tim Story (Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), is about a basketball team that was assembled of players, who attended five different high schools before Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans.

Lil Wayne is set to play a character named "Lamont," who is skeptical of the new teams. The flick is loosely based on a true story and will be hitting theaters around Thanksgiving.
In related news, Weezy recently sat down with MTV news and discussed some of the details from the long overdue Carter III.
In other news…

Weezy cleared up the confusion over the various versions of the albums street single, "A Millie." According to the Young Money CEO, the various versions will take the place of skits on Tha Carter III.

"I'm not gonna have skits on the album. The different versions of 'A Millie' will be where the skits would be," he tells MTV.

"It's gonna be like I'm calling home and the person who's on that track is gonna be, like, inside Tha Carter at that time. Only people I put on there is all new artists — artists I think is gonna be in this music shit for a long time. Tyga, Corey Guns, Hurricane Chris, Lil Mama — it's gonna be ill. On the video, I'm introducing my artist, Lil Chucky. He's 13 years old. He's hot in the South. He's got his own part for 'A Millie' too."

Weezy also speaks on the album cover--which many fans speculated to be fake.
"That's me!" he said. "All day. No computers. Only thing [digitally enhanced] was the tattoos. My momma gave me the picture for me to put on the album cover. I don't know where my momma found that picture. My momma, she gave me that and one more. If you would have saw the other picture, you'd be like, 'She got too many pictures.' "

The Carter III is scheduled to hit shelves on June 10th.

In a recent interview with MTV, Lil Wayne revealed that he has signed the 13-year-old MC to his Young Money imprint.

You’ve probably seen Chuckee without realizing it—as a pint-sized dancer, he’s appeared in numerous music videos, like Young Dro’s “Shoulder Lean” and Young Joc’s “I Know You See It.” But after his track “Too Clean” appeared on Lil Wayne’s The Drought is Over Vol. 5 mixtape, his lyrical talents have been taking center stage. He’s currently working hard on getting his Child’s Play Entertainment off the ground, but you can catch Chuckee in the upcoming video for Wayne’s “A Millie” and on Tha Carter III. After the jump, listen to his songs with Wayne and Birdman and watch a video of his “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” remix.

2008-04-30T21:07:00.003-04:00

this kid is officially on the g-status, he gets mad at his old moms and decides hes gonna take a joyride with his friend who "smokes with cigerettes," and thinks a plausible punishment for his actions is no video games for a whole weekend.

embarking on freedom.

2008-04-30T18:03:00.007-04:00

as an adolescent it is difficult to find freedom, especially when your parents do nothing but love you; therefore, they restrict you. one of the greatest feelings a kidd could experience is their ability to drive freely without supervision. i have become one of these kidds, and i must say it is great. your parents care about you and wish the best for you, but sometimes they need to fall back (i love my parents, to be true). i gotta do me and do what needs to be done whether it is partying, chillin with my peoples, or just goin on an ceaseless journey, you feel me? so today was the first day that i actually experienced the thrill of driving around my area with no one telling me what to do or when to do it, its a great feeling and i feel bad for those who can't try it out for themselves...but remember i was once you. i prolly won't be able to experience driving to the fullest until summer, but boi-oh-boi am i ready for it. but while i do that i gotta get my car in gear: paint job/detailing, a crucial car-wash its well needed, interior boost, and get my muzik game on point with killer subwoofers so n!ggas hear me 'fore they see me, ya digg! but yall don't worry, in good time this person will be you and i'm guaranteeing its worth the wait

dissing the wizards...

2008-04-27T21:54:00.007-04:00

if you have been keeping up with the capitol's bball team against king james and his cavs, you understand that this has been a highly anticipated series. arenas felt that it would be tough for the cavs to beat the wizards in the post-season for third consecutive year and that the wizards were ready for him...i think not. i am a big wizards fan and everything but 'bron has been handling the home team 3/4 games averaging 29.5ppg , and i'm quite tired of watching the majestic wizards getting worked by this scrub team after giving it to many topnotch teams this season.

but the hype of this entry is to highlight the beef between deshawn stevenson and lebron/jay-z. stevenson lashed out at lebron saying he was "overrated" (but is he really?) and our boy 'bron responded to the press saying responding to stevenson's comments would be like "jay-z responding to soulja boy." WHOA BUDDY! did 'bron 'bron really just say that!? yes he did, he brought jay-z and soulja boy into it with jay-z on his side. stevenson seemed to take charge of his comment toward king james in game 3 with soulja boy in attendance, and might i add that was a marvelous game! but game 4 was a different story, lebron came back with the thunder and the cavs made sure they put their foot down and came out with the narrow dubbia. the cav's are now up in the series 3-1 and jay-z posted a new freestyle glorifying king James and absolutely smackin deshawn stevenson in the face...

Time to get political...

2008-04-21T20:53:00.004-04:00

as we should all already know the Presidential Election of '08 is steadily creeping on the country with the primary candidates being narrowed down to 3: John McCain (R.), Barack Obama (D.), and Hilary Clinton (D.) this election has seen its share of amusement with personal lashes made to every single one of the candidates most especially being the rising tensions between Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hilary Clinton. they have each lashed out at each other whether it be on someone's middle name or if they misspeak/lie on certain situations. but these constant altercations between the two democratic candidates have been denounced by many elite democrats stating that what they are doing are destroying the democratic party, instead of fighting for their topics it seems to have become a series of grudge matches every time a state primary arises. however, the topic at hand is how a candidate handles the pressure and today the crown goes to sir Barack, King of Coolness.

-snatched from DctoBc.com

souljah boy is undeniably one of the hottest southern rappers out at the moment, but i still hold the view that he just gave hip-hop a critical blow to the nutz while it was already gunned down by that crunk nonsense. everyone hates on him, me including, but his tunez are oh-so catchy. i speak all this smack about the dude, but it could just be jealousy raging inside of me. the dude is what, 17? he is a couple of months older than me and he stacks bricks of cheddar by spitting uncatchable rhymes and must ensure that he has that signature towel around his neck at all times cause he must be consistently wiped-down, who else is seeing him!? but still, southern crunk/crank hippity-hop sh!t has murdered hip-hop, will she ever make it back?

Today Marks the 1-Year Anniversary of the VTech Massacre

2008-04-16T22:06:00.003-04:00

we all already know what happened on excactly this day one year ago, so there is no need to go over the event. but how has the nation changed since? school shootings still happen, guns are still allowed in various states, and there are crazy people still out in the nation lacking the professional care that they need. all acts of violence are terrible, but you would think a nation could learn from their previous mistakes...we don't though, the same sh!t always happens. you'd think people changed, but nope kids are still shooting each other (ie. wilde lake RIP b.adams). i think we, as a nation, need to tighten up and ensure the safety of our citizens by doing whatever needs to be done. as a higher-end gov't student a thing we always talk about is trade-offs, to ensure safety, we have to give the gov't permission to take away certain rights from the citizens. it's only fair. i digress. but what have we learned?

white chicks

2008-04-11T18:18:00.003-04:00

it seems that these white chicks, no matter their life-status (trailer trash, prep, etc.), are getting a tad bit reckless...

i was astonished when i saw this chick goin off:

i think this same chick may have been the victim in this:

yes, i know i'm taking a wild stab in the dark by saying that...but the trailer girl was spewing wildness all over the internet, just talking the usual sh!t, and then some girl gets CLAPPED for doing the same thing? okay, i don't condone the actions of any of these young ladies, not at all; however, why does this happen!? why must girls consistently talk sh!t about each other and think its okay? maybe the girl deserved the beating, i'm not saying she did, but to the girls who did attack her was what she said that demeaning for you to have had her partially blind, partially deaf, and leave the house-hould with a major concussion? i really don't understand women, i really don't... but one thing i can say is that with women comes absolute drama.

sex-offenders beware! (no pics for obvious reasons)

2008-04-08T22:20:00.003-04:00

we are tired of pedaphiles ambushing elementary/middle school children on the daily, so what do we do? castrate them.

it is officially a legal option in Louisiana for a sex offender to become penis-less, through multiple methods: either having it chopped off (the traditional way), or having it burned off through outrageous chemicals. and for those that just can't keep their pinkies off of the kiddos, judges must have the repeat offender castrated...you'd think that would be the extent of the punishment but of course they won't learn anything without the mandatory jail time, the castration is just a "plus(+)."

alright so here are some uprising concerns:
-what if later in life the system learns that the proposed offender was actually innocent, how will they be repaid!?

craziness i know, but should it be done?

got beef? get bullet-proof!

2008-04-08T22:11:00.003-04:00

are you afraid of bullets ringing your head? well check out the first bulletproof hoodie, that is definitely haterific. your haterz will hate you more, and the best thing is they can't kill you:

its made of "2mm of Type IIA bulletproofing, enough to stop a 9mm full-metal-jacket round at a velocity of 1,090 feet-per-second"

pros:
-you can be shot and not bleed
-keep the haterz flourishing in hate

cons:
-protects everything below the neck-line to the abdomen (just hope your attacker doesn't aim for your brainz!)
-costs $600+

good luck!

whites rather ignore blacks, than act "racist"

2008-04-03T08:24:00.003-04:00

racism, one of the founding principles of america, has led to many problems in today's society. but now whites rather ignore the blacks, than act as if they are racist! i like to brew controversy on the blog so hear what Northwestern University did a study on:

15 white students to take a simple computer test showing a black face and a white face with the same expression. The students overwhelmingly looked at the black face first, but would quickly move their attention the paleface, apparently a more comforting sight.

should i be mad about this? i think i rather have people be stereotypical towards me, than just ignore me completely, it could make a person feel less like a human if you're totally ostracized...

i won't grow up...i dont want to go to school...

2008-03-31T20:18:00.005-04:00

the got fresh?TM scene has been looking bland for over a week, so its time for me to put something up. since i see that many of you guys enjoy the blog and try to visit it on a daily basis, i feel i have deprived the public of necessary information so they could carry through with the rest of their everyday schedule. i think im going to give yall a throwback, the setting: neverland, those involved: rufio, hook, and peter pan... the topic at hand: growing up!
my man peter-pan and his entourage of the lost boyz had a simple motivation for life: i don't want to grow up. peter-pan was probably the best character that television ever introduced to the public, a rebel who had a shadow that taunted him and refused to ever grow up, while flying of course. im living life now, as a 16yr old in maryland awaiting my license and my first real job, and im wondering what the blood (shout outs to thomas) was this dude thinking...he didn't want to grow up? hell i probably would have felt the same way if i had a taunting shadow and a fairy companion, but im living in reality and my everyday struggles are just aggravating, i want to graduate and be done with school.

if i had my choice though, i would live as a 7 year old for the rest of my life, its weerd (holly-weerd: have you ever made love to a weerdo?). but hear me on this one: the best days of your lives were when you were seven, you just met the wonderful world of school, with little homework and stress. you had your play girlfriends/boyfriends (everyone was straight by the way), no one was really left out because bullying started in 2nd-3rd grade, everyone was your friend. everyone could be considered popular because you really didn't not like anyone, everyone was cool in their own special ways in your eyes. when you were 7 you played sports for fun, and not for scholarships, you had sleepovers with your best friends and would watch power-rangers all night... its sad that i had to grow out of this stage, but of course in reality you must grow up.

march madness baby!

2008-03-22T13:59:00.003-04:00

so today embarks the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament!
but of course the big dance doesn't make any noise without a few upsets, or near death experiences for the elite teams. but if you're looking for upsets you may want to run down to tampa bay where 5th seeded clemson lost to 12th seeded villy!? or perhaps 13th seeded siena or 4th seeded vandy!? please i havent even heard of siena as a college (yahh i need to STEP MY GAME UP!) but if anyone saw drake losing to western kentucky or connecticut losing to san diego , wow you take some risks on your bracket but you did prevail!

but i guess the talk of the day had to be Duke's near loss to Belmont, how Duke pulled through i have no idea but they did it, which I was quite upset about if there is one team i hate in the NCAA it is duke and im not a UMD or UNC fan either, its just hatred. Edit: Duke lost today to WVU :)

but my main bracket hasn't been totally screwed-up, all the core teams that i wanted in are still in... catch my Final Four: UCLA - Memphis - Tennesse - Georgetown with UCLA at Georgetown in the Championship game but i think UCLA will take it all home.

lazy sunday

2008-03-16T21:05:00.005-04:00

it's the first sunday of spring break and instead of out partying im stuck in bethesda without a thing to do but watch movies all night...this may not seem fun to most, but its the best i could manage with this lazy sunday. im trying to have as much fun as possible tonight by having a variety of movie images burned into my eyeballs.

but enough complaining of the night, lets speak of the day.
so today is known as Palm Sunday and this is how my Palm Sunday went:

first I was woken up at 8.30am to attend church, no complaints.
after then attending church i felt why should i be stuck at home all day? and in answering that question i decided to hittup the new stussy chapter store in our nation's capitol. for those that know me i tend to get hungry quickly, and when i am hungry i get restless...so i headed to the nearest fast food restaurant to better my body's convenience and that happened to be good ol' Checkers. the thing about my arrival at Checker's today was not that i was extremely famished but it was the fact that i have never been to Checker's (im not playing with you). i see the commercials for the fast-food joint all the time, and i've probably only seen 5 Checker's restaurants in my 16yr lifespan. so i thought this was a time better than ever to check the place out. at first i was definitely perplexed about the restaurant's setup, it was not a normal fast-food setup, but those who wanted to order must advance to take their order in either a) the drive-through or b) the line outside... there was no inside to this place and it "killed me!" but let me fast-forward to my meal, i was expecting something great like the Luther Burger (check the Boondocks - the Itis for more info...and stay tuned for the luther burger on the blog in the next few days, it will be spectacularly disgusting) but i was short of impressed by this 1/4 pounder burger:

looks appealing, but is it really all that? the answer is no. the burger was similar to those found at mickyD's so i was definitely not impressed. maybe Checker's should start spying at Steak n Shake because they by far have my vote for the #1 fast food meals! if you are ever in the south please check em out, im begging. and for those that are asking "what about white castle?" i have your answer, i have never been to white castle but i am eager to find out about the taste of the meals, so next time i am in an area with white castle i will go out of my way to taste it for you!

but along with my trip to the stussy chapter store, first of all i most stress that those who need quick/reliable transportation into the capitol should always take the metro, nevermind the 30minute delays due to escalator disfunctions?! yah.. i know, but i finally arrived in dupont circle awaiting to take the 15minute walk to stussy/cmonwealth but the time wasted in the metrocars i had forgotten how strong the winds were... so i was being blown from side-to-side of dupont circle hoping i will be able to fly in the direction to the stussy store, which i was... and all that flying i did put me in a festive mindset, i felt like buying the whole store out, but i was brought back to reality when i realized how empty my wallet was :[ so i settled to purchasing a stussy tee, stussy strapback hat, and a stussy sticker for my mac and called it a day.

it took me longer to get to DC and to get back home than my whole duration in D.C., sad but true but at least i got some gear :)

spring is here

2008-03-14T17:15:00.011-04:00

spring is practically here in the DMV, its getting warmer, flowers are blooming, im rubbing fire out of my eyes due to the spring/summer-time allergies, and of course things are getting a tad bit exhilarating. when i say its getting exhilarating i mean things are getting brighter and hyped in the DMV region let me explain why...

-track season has started, track of course may not be the most popular sport due to the extreme amounts of running in small time intervals, but track meets are something legendary. first and foremost, track meets are a great place to meet new people for runners and spectators, its fun to watch the fastest people in the state because they aren't famous but they are known, and they are known by you. i was lucky enough to experience many invitational track meets (including: counties, regionals, and states) and it may have been the most exciting parts of my life especially casue i was able to see records-broken and people-falling (hurdles or tripping). all and all it was fun, and its back

-WALE!!!, DC's "big deal," has recently signed a joint venture deal with Mark Ronson's Allido imprint and Interscope Records. this by far is probably the best thing that could jump-start this upcoming spring because WALE has been doing it big for a couple of years now, and it is about time he is getting recognition off of his beautiful music, as my cuzzo would say he causes eargasms (believe dat!). by the way peep his new joint, itz in the trackbox and it is hotter than fiyaah, why would i lie?

-spring '08 lines have been released! stussy, supreme, crooks & castle, and bbc/icecream have all released spring-summer '08 lines and its lookin hott pics below:

supreme racing jacket

bbc/ice-cream vest

stussy shirt/hoodie

crooks&castle tee's

..yah!

-LR BBall has made it to Maryland 3A State's for the 2nd time in 3-years. we've been doubted, against lake clifton, aberdeen, and atholton but guess what? the haterz have fueled us to play bigger and better than ever, so haterz do what you do best and HATE cause we're goin for it all.

*for those that want to support us...game info: March 15, 2008 3pm at Comcast Center (if im wrong get at me asap)

umm...LR is gettin crucial publicity as well?

...what else could make for a beautiful spring?

*shout-out to my homegirl shereen for tha pic of the final score!

STEP YA GAME UP: freshness

2008-03-12T19:57:00.003-04:00

me and tazz are switchin it up on a weekly basis, so i brought it back to yall this week with an interesting topic of being (quote)(unquote)fresh.

enjoy:

**PS: i made this video a week ago, and at the beginning i was referring to the mistakes made in MY OWN (not tazz's) last video about $$**

a walk in my mind...

2008-03-11T22:36:00.005-04:00

so today, I saw that we hadn't posted in awhile so I thought alright why should we always talk about entertainment, fashion, etc? why cant we just talk about our life, or what we think...cause thats probably much more interesting, what people think or do, than what new fashion lines are coming out...or what celeb is getting arrested on DUI charges

something that has been constantly on my mind is school. its something that is essential for a great future, but it is also a long part of life that most dread. and i am included in that most category. i know i'm definitely going to need education in my future since i aspire to be many different things (i can never come to just one career option, i want to be either a lawyer, entrepreneur, professional chef CATCH ME ON TOP CHEF!) but for all these possible careers i need to endure this painful experience called school. for those that are secluded from the world i thought i'd find a befitting definition for this word- school and found what this outrageous dude put up with a few of my own modifications

school: A place where everyone secretly hates each (cliques & classifications. check my girl lindsay lohan in mean girls for more info!) other including students, staff and teachers and is a nightmare. They force you to do useless work (which you will prolly NEVER use in your life) while they also expect you to put up with peer pressure, your home life, and social life.

so you cant explain school any better than that... its fun at times, but its dreadful for the majority of your 18years of life in school. my personal breakdown of what school has done to my life: 65% dealing with school work/studying - 15% sleeping - 10% chilling/relaxing (prolly in my office doing my taxes?!) - 5% making ridunkulous videos in piano class - 5% additional sleeping/rest (aka POWER naps, try it some time)

so truly, i dont hate school but i do despise it. i need it to take my life to a higher level of living (college life and professional life), but i feel that after i graduate high school i should be able to live a chillled/relaxed lifestyle lacking complaints and problems

**Possibly a new STEP YA GAME UP VIDEO tomorrow, any ideas for topics?
(aim: whoizshay)**

i conclude with a pix of me peepin the LR bball game (extra-curricular activities).

**big ups to LRHS bball for making MD Final 4**

Was Good Wit My Mans Wayne???

2008-03-04T21:34:00.007-05:00

everyone that has seen a lil wayne concert or seen him perform live anywhere has seen him have a styrofoam cup is his hand. this cup contains syrup. and i know some of yall think its like the jank that we put on our pancakes and ish..but its not. syrup is medicine that you would use when you have a cold like nyquil or whatever mixed wit any type of drink. after wayne's family and friends encourage him to stop drinkin syrup he says he can't stop. he says it feels like death when you try to quit. here is what the dude said:

"It ain't that easy - feels like death in your stomach when you stop doing that shit. You gotta learn how to stop, you gotta go through detox. You gotta do all kinds of stuff. Like I said, I'm a selfish-ass nigga. I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. It's gonna be hard to tell me I'm slipping. It's hard to sit and tell a nigga 'Stop. Fuck, how can we tell this nigga to stop when every fucking thing he do is successful? This nigga is making progress. He just went and talked to kids and that shit was amazing.' Feel me? So what am I doing wrong?" Wayne vented in a recent interview with MTV.

"Fear Factor" pisses on integration

2008-02-28T08:57:00.005-05:00

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

2008-02-27T15:12:00.003-05:00

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!

extending an apology...

2008-02-27T08:42:00.002-05:00

first of all, i have to apologize to the public. the blog hasnt been coming out with straight substance in the posts, we have been putting some bullsh!t stuff upp that quite frankly people have been upset about. the basis of the blog was to entertain people and we havent been entertaining. the step ya game up videos have been getting views but i must say my last video was whack, it may have been a good topic but it wasnt backed with necessary information and wasnt developed well, the next step ya game up video will be fire and i promise you that.
future posts will be entertaining as well as give tha reader something to think about... its time to get serious and bring back the entertainment in got fresh?

Alright so as most of you probably, or atleast should know... Nike has been doing an Artist series for quite some time now, featuring work from people like, Espo, Mr. Cartoon, Pharrel, etc. Well they've decided to give Espo another chance to customize a shoe.

stussy store opens in DC.

2008-02-23T17:15:00.006-05:00

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

2008-02-20T16:42:00.004-05:00

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?
and check out tha trailer for Semi-Pro

fresh kickz

2008-02-17T21:57:00.003-05:00

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

2008-02-13T09:07:00.004-05:00

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!

2008-02-07T21:54:00.002-05:00

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!
