Serious Jones vs Charles Hamiliton

Charles Hamiliton tried to go in on Serious Jones he should have known better..

Your New Drug

Let me introduce my man FLO, Myspace bio reads "No Hype, Just Facts! It seems there are very few artists you come across nowadays as having “that thing”. The thing that I’m speaking of has what few rappers these days posses: true charisma, heart, posture, a brain of consciousness, skills, talent, relevance, substance, continuity, tone, oh yea and of course, FLO! I want to introduce you to an artist who, at first listen, is automatically and irrevocably known to assist with the revolution of the current urban music scene." This my dude right here, we connected on Twitter which lead me to listen to his music and I was hooked. I had his myspace playlist going like the whole day while I worked one day, I don't know it's just something about his joints they just got a fresh sound. And he comes across as a regular cat who can just FLO, you won't catch him rapping about what he don't have, or what he didn't do..

This is truly inspiring right here, man this is crazy. Let's all open up our creativity.. I have been reading up on Poster Boy a street artist from New York, and just about everything he has made is hot. All of his stuff is done with nothing but a razor.

The Late Show - Farewell to George Bush

With George W. Bush's presidency at an end, Dave presents the final edition of "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches." After watching this clip I realized how big of a nut George W. really was, good riddens.

The President's Mind Reader

When Barack Obama steps up to the podium to deliver his inaugural address, one man standing anonymously in the crowd will be paying especially close attention. Jon Favreau, 27, is, as Obama himself puts it, the president's mind reader. He is one of the youngest chief speechwriters on record in the White House, and, despite being of such tender age, was the lets just say master mind who came up with the content of Obama's Inauguration speech. I feel that the arise to prominence of our first Black President was largely built upon his powers as an orator(I like that word), Obama is well versed in the arts of speech-making though and it's like he can always deliver that "amen" line. But the inauguration speech had to out do all of the ones before.
And I was reading this about Jon Favreau and how he has helped Barack with his speeches and before reading it I would have gave all of that credit to Obama but it seems their are several people who should be thanked for that great inauguration day speech and all the others. I wonder if Martin Luther King Jr. had a chief speechwriter? Nah(shaking head) you think? Read More Here.

The Game vs Snoop Dogg In Celebrity Basketball

I don't know who they were playing against but it looks like they can play a little bit, I didn't know my Uncle Snoop had moves like that.. Plus the halftime show with the high school band performance is hot, I always enjoy seeing our youth perform. Anytime I see rappers doing positive, it's getting posted on my blog, because you can see the negative on all your other favorite blogs.

Just For Kicks

This is one of the most unique pairs to drop so far in 2009. This is a pair of extremely limited Nike Flight Lite High part of the White Men Can’t Jump Pack. This is a very unique pair that is limited to less than 72 pairs. This pair of shoes will not be made available any where else but Osneaker.com.

Kanye recently had the shoes he designed for Louie Vutton featured in there show during Fashion Week. A dream come true for Mr. West, and these are kinda hot, maybe if somebody I know wins the Publishing House, I might have some money to grab a pair when they are available in June.

Celebrating this 60 years in the game Adidas is releasing this orginal colorway of their Adidas Top Ten sneaker. I remember I had these in high school one of my favorite Addidas of all time, they're super fresh and mad comfortable to hoop in.

Benjamin Baxby?

I recently found out that Andre Benjamin bka Andre 3000 just launched his Benjamin Bixby clothing line a little over four months ago. Unfortunately for him, his timing was all wrong, the high-fashion but high-priced concept was launched at the start of one of the worst economic recessions in U.S. history. Although Andre’s clothing line is for the most part fashionable and hip, and I would rock some of his stuff but y'all know times is hard right now and who is going to pay $275 for a Benjamin Bixby sweater vest when we can barely afford to pay the rent and feed our kids? And even if you CAN afford it…you might think twice about copping that new Benjamin Baxby.

WoooHa.com exclusively reports that the Benjamin Bixby clothing line is facing severe financial hardships due to limited sales and excess inventory. Because Andre Benjamin paid so much attention to detail, his clothing line was not cheap to reproduce on a mass scale. Instead, limited quantities of the collection were made and sold primarily online through luxury fashion sites such as Barneys.com. The problem is no one is buying the clothing line because of the high price point and no brand equity. As a result, the Benjamin Bixby clothing line has had to dramaticly drop prices in order to move inventory and prevent retailers from shipping it all back to Mr. Benjamin. Read More HERE

A Letter To B.I.G

This is a hot joint, I heard it a few weeks ago and wanted to post it and Mister Cee was talking all on the track lol. But here it is I don't know if it's the official video or not.

A Couple New Joints I Mess With

When I first heard the "Hi Hater" joint I was feeling it, I thought it was hot. And I seen Maino on S.M.A.C.K and all that but after hearing this track I am convinced that Maino is nice. He Was going on hard on this track. Check it out.
>Maino-"2009 Predictions"

I rock with B.O.B every since the mixtape came out, and in this point of the game I can appreciate anyone who comes out, who is real and on some different ish.
B.O.B-"In The Sky"

Jim speaks the truth on this joint, a lot of yall say you don't like Jimmy but everytime he come out wit a joint ya knocking it.
Jim Jones-"Religion In My Streets"

(New)Full Notorious Trailer

Many feel a documentary could have been made by a more significant African American in history, or anybody but the Biggie. Not only that some would say his story is typical to many of the other of us growing up in these streets, and just one of the few that made it.

Lets Invest In Our Children

This is soo dope! I am amazed everyday by some of the talents and abilities that the youth have today, it's like they're little robots that can do anything they see or hear(crazy). Check out 11-Year-Old Vohn Beatz Making A Beat In His Room, and if you have children, make sure you tell them that they can do anything they want, the possibilites are limitless, all it takes is a little practice and hard work. So, lets invest in our children!!

Ok I Guess

I really want to stay away from posting celebrity gossip on this blog, but it's like every site I visit somebody is exploring the lives of the famous, and who really cares. But when I saw this I knew I had to post it, we need to discuss this, because I'm confused. Why in the hell would Lisa Bonet name her second child with husband Jason Momoa, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. And I like Lisa Bonet, I love her organic style but damn, and then Jason's mom attempted to give an explanation via his website: "He was born on the stormiest, rainy night, so Nakoa (warrior)...Mana(strength/spirit) Kaua (rain) po (dark)...." she wrote. "The name was always going to be Nakoa-Wolf, but Jason did the research on first [and] middle name. [The] 2nd middle name, as you know, is Jason's." Ok I understand all of that, cool a very meaningful name, but this kid better be one hell of a speller.
