I just got both the new T.I. and Timbaland cd's. I can definitely recommend both, but would put the T.I. a little higher. This young man is really progressing, and his maturity as an MC is really coming through. I'm just really disappointed "Top Back", or its hot remix cousin, is not on there. I think I'll dl that song, and burn a new cd, with the ( Read more... )

(for some reason, I've been in a list making mood lately. hmm, curious.)

#1. Anybody see the new Spiderman? Money.

#2. And Fantastic Four already looks awesome. The got the look down perfect for the surfer. Usually in every comic movie they change a character, but here they got it down perfecto. They have set the message boards ablaze with positive ( Read more... )

(yes, i'm writing a birthday post almost a full month after my birthday. even though i changed the post date, it's really 6/7/07 today. whatever, it'll be worth the wait. so buckle in chums, i'm on the mic)

I believe it was the incomparable Bow Wow that wrote in the song "On Fiya": "Now when I walk up in the club I'm lookin' so fly. I got 26's ( Read more... )

I wrote the last post and this one as one, but realized they were two separate topics, and must be handled as such. My previous point was that I find myself listening to different types of rap, suffice it to say that my cd changer is currently alternating between a thuggish mix cd, The Clipse "Hell Hath No Fury", Dead Prez "Let's Get Free", Lupe ( Read more... )

Well, E$ is back. Back like that itchy rash which your significant other swears isn't their fault.

You know, I listen to a lot of "good" rap, like Talib and Mos Def and Common, you know, the guys that actually have something to say. But then, at the same time I find myself drawn to the infectious beat and meaningless lyrics. So, on "Let's Ride", ( Read more... )

"It's going to get worse before it gets better."

Does anyone know the origin of that saying? I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything. I also gave up after 5 minutes. Well anyway, I suppose it's the theme of this story. When we last left our hero, I had just left the car at my apartment before coming back to NC for a few days to go skiing ( Read more... )

To quote Jay-Z, "I'm back in the building, Brooklyn we back on the map."

I didn't realize I haven't posted since the end of November, I haven't even opened up this page in 4 months. Craziness. Previously, my excuse for not updating was the dearth of activity in my life, as my day to day goings on had become pretty monotonous. But I can't really use ( Read more... )

Welcome to 3,000 words of nothingness.

Had a great time over the holiday, hanging with the fam mostly. Of all my trips home, I spent the most time at home this time. And I finally got to spend more quality time with the niece.

Went to the sales on Friday morning. Got some neat stuff, but didn't go overboard, though I did buy The Boph a video camera, ( Read more... )

My car broke down this weekend while driving back to NJ from NC. I’ll come back to this later. But first: more stupid ramblings. In today’s episode: I don’t pay attention.

It’s amazing how well I can zone out. I used to think that I didn’t do it, that I was good at being attentive. But The Boph (remember, long ‘o’) pointed it out to me and totally ( Read more... )

I haven't really posted b/c there hasn't been much going on with me. It's just the same old shit, and I'm pretty sure people get tired of reading it. Woe is me, all I do is watch tv, just lazy all the time, blah blah blah, ad infinitum. I get tired of typing it and I'm sure you get tired of reading it. Believe me, it's just as boring for me to live ( Read more... )
