Lookin Boy...

for those of you who don't know. a new artist hot stylez released a single called "Lookin Boy"
yes i know that this song is just for fun but is this what hip-hop is really coming to? like shay said, thank you to lupe, weezy, n*e*r*d, yeezy and some others for keeping it alive....
anyway..check the video out..

shia labeouf.

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

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

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

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!

scooped it off my cousin's blog, and i've been striving to get to level 50. everytime i lose a level by like 1 or 2 coins, i flipp out like my man joey on the real world! but taste it for yourself

true love......?

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?

Ryan Leslie....Harvard Grad?!

ryan leslie, a new artist who recently released the single, diamond girl, went to harvard when he was 16 and graduated when he was 19. he is a genius. he creates songs with the piano and he has never taken a lesson before. this pic is from his myspace from the times when he was attending harvard....

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.

weezy's prodigy

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.
