I always wondered....

what the hell they was talking about in the game.

On the 4th Day of Xmas...

I stick with the music please....
4 Slept On Albums/Mixtapes that you should bump...

4. Freddie Gibbs - BFK
Gangsta Gibbs stayed in his lane. If you familiar, he is at his best riding slow gangsta beats rapping about gangsta shit. That is exactly what he did this album.  There are two versions of this album, one with the infamous DJ Drama talking over the album, the other is without DJ. The difference, one song and the order. The problem is the song that was deleted was a Neptunes produced, vintage Chad and Pharrell production, molly-induced beat with "The Diet".

3. Fabolous - Soul Tape 2
For as long as I can remember, Fab has been the mixtape killer that could never produce an album. That still holds true. Fab is a mixtape legend. I didn't care too much for the first Soul Tape, but the There is No Competition series....ugly. Fab should show these young guys a thing or two about bars. He is in that class of cats that you really don't want to see in the booth like Jadakiss, Nas, Hov, Lupe, Kendrick, 3 Stacks...just to name a few. This remake is the biz only because this used to be my track from Urssher.


2. Sean Price - Sean Price
This mixtape is what a mixtape should be. Original music, short songs that feel like throwaways or just under 3 1/2 mins to not add the unnecessary stuff. This album was just filled with aggressive, rough NYC beats, bars of course and just some gritty make you want to throw on the Tims, a hoody, some baggy jeans, wait....I wear that anyway. Well you get the picture. Big Baby Jesus would be proud of this album is all I'm saying.


1. Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor II
How is the complaint about Lupe is that he raps too smart or talks about too much and that is viewed as negative? Ok, well it partly is true, you have to actually listen to what he is talking about and sometimes you have to google the lyrics and some of the metaphors to understand it but how again is this a bad thing. Lupe goes in all the time, no days off.

Runner Ups
Pac Div - GMB
Yo Gotti - Cocaine Music 7
Slaughterhouse - On the House/Welcome

On the 5th Day of Xmas....

I make it hot for theee....

On the 6th Day of Xmas....

I preach a sermon to thee...
6 Absolute Turnoffs

This is my turnoffs, not everyone shares the same views as me but I'm pretty sure a lot of people do. Remember, its cool boo boo. Do you.

6. Chicks who smoke weed. I'm not talking about socially. I'm talking about weed heads. You know the chick that can't even afford to eat because she had to get some of that loud. The chick who I dare you to kiss because it smells like a chimney in her face. The chick who when she not high, she tripping like she should be high. The chick who only talks about getting high, like all the time, like for real for real. Anyway, that stopped being cute like since the beginning of time. Please get some help.
5. Tattoos. Tats are fun. Tats are cool. But just like everything else that we do for fun and that are cool, they must be done in moderation. If a chick has more visible tats than me, keep it moving. If you have a face tat, I hope that you rap or a stripper because nobody is going to hire you boo boo. If you just got some crazy dumb wild shit like Suck My Nipple, you probably weird as hell and yes, keep it moving. 
4. Weird Piercings. Ummm, what happened to your ears, belly button, tongue, nipples and maybe a nose ring? What is this in the lip, the chin, in your chest, around the tramp stamp on your back like some warning lights? Is this stuff a fad or have people been watching when keeping it real goes wrong too much? That shit is just foolish. So yeah, you only allowed to have one of the weird places, not a combination #5 plate from the chinaman.
3. Too many baby daddies. Yes there is a 2 x2 rule that I follow. Unless you have 2 kids by the same guy or 2 kids that are drastically different in age, its not going down. If you fall outside the 2x2 rule, chances are you a hoe.

2. High maintenance chicks. I'm going to say this as nice as possible. Bish you aint even that fine to be acting like that. I have seen fine, no really fine like make you crash your car and pay your deductible fine. Chicks that you have literally said, god damn right in front of your wife/sig other and the bish looked at you and said, damn she is cute. If a chick is fine enough for another woman to cosign with you, that bish cold. All of those statements apply to a small population and that most likely is not you. Not enough for you to act that stank and high and mighty. You average, maybe a little above average, that still makes you a 8. Dimes aint walking around, you know why, there is a nigga handcuffing her all the way to the bathroom. If your dude let you go to the mall by yourself, not a dime. If you can order pizza alone at the house, not a dime. If you have to put gas in your car, you guessed it, not a dime.
1. Big girls. I'm not even talking to the true big girls, but the big girls that didn't know that extra value meal at McDonald's put them in a new category. Let's face it we all got to do better but the phrase if you got it flaunt it, wasn't made for everybody. Ok, I was lying, this is to all big girls. Please be cute if you are big, don't be walking around like the Notorious PIG and think you gonna get one. I don't discriminate, but I will let you have it.

On the 7th Day of Xmas...

Who wants to get fucked up with me???
7 Alcohols you need to have on your shelf.

Disclaimer: I am by no way shape of form endorsing the mass consumption of alcohol. Alcohol is a dangerous drug. Yes a drug you dumb azz. It can kill you or cause you to do stupid things to other people that include but are not limited to cursing out your significant other, pissing on flowers in a cemetary, drunk driving, drunk driving on the wrong side of the road, falling asleep in the drive thru of White Castles, text the wrong person in your phone, and a host of other stupid things. Long story short, drink in moderation and please control your liquor.


7. Ciroc Peach. It ain't a party until somebody break out the Puffy shiny suit dance. The same goes for Ciroc. I prefer to sip the Peach with a splash of pineapple. Sometimes I go for lemonade, but the pineapple is better.
6. Avion Tequila. Marketed as the world's smoothest tequila. I just know it as the shit they was drinking on Entourage. I tried it, I liked it, I kept drinking it. I only tried the Silver but apparently there are like 3 flavors. I keep it in my comfort zone and stay on the Silver.
5. Patron Tequila. They don't carry the Avion everywhere, so I go with the 3rd most shouted out liquor in rap, Patron. Don't believe me, there is a song called Patron and Swag. Not lying. I'm not posting a link either though. You have to google me. Google me bish.
4. Rumchata. I know, yall like what kind of concoction is that. It is a liqueur or a cream. It is smooth like Edys ice cream though. The Slow CHURNED my dude.
3. Remy VSOP. Well known in the hood near you but did you know this is actually a Champagne Cognac. Think about that for a minute. A Champagne Cognac. I just thought I was drinking yac all this time and now I get to tell bishes I got that Champagne. Insert the Puffy dance again. Wait, hold the dances for my fav.
2. Jack Daniels Black. AKA Old Number 7. AKA JD. AKA That Get Right. Ok that last one was mine but the first two are marketed by the company. When a drink got two AKAs, you know you bets not be a rookie taking that to the head. Now its time to dance.

1. Hangar One Vodka. You want to impress your white friends, your boss, your bougie friends? Pop off on some of this.

On the 8th Day of Xmas...

I flip the script on thee....
The 8 things I hate most about Xmas time.

8. Spending money on gifts. Yep. Right off the bat. Let's be honest, it is a man-made holiday for spending. And it starts in November. All of these fake sales and inflated discounts. I was just at the store the week before and this crap was on sale, now you mark it up to regular prices and try to pull the sheets over my head with buy one get one free? C'mon son.
7. Bell ringers. I know its supposed to go to a good cause, but really, that shit is annoying. And they are everywhere like the people selling pixie sticks in the middle of the street.
6. The weather. If it wasn't bad enough in St. Louis, winters have been crazy as hell. Considering that it was 70 on Dec 1st, and the low has been 21, who knows what the hell we will have for the rest of the month. It might snow and be 75 the next day.
5. The fake salutations. Merry Xmas. Happy Holidays now since you don't want to offend people at work that don't celebrate Christmas. What happened to sending them to another room and making sure they don't get any cake?
4. Work Parties - Nothing exciting ever happens. Its not like happy hour where you go with the people that you actually like and people talk shit about the other people, especially the one person everybody hates. There's always one person everybody hates.
3. Social Media - I turn off every notification possible. I don't want to read all of the FB posts about merry xmas and what somebody got or who got engaged...blah blah blah. I don't mind the texts but hold the corny message attached to it. Just send me a stupid joke instead.
2. Family gatherings - Call me spoiled or whatnot, but you should not be allowed to host any gathering if you do not have at least a 40 inch flat screen Tv AND HD. Let me repeat - AND HD. If you only have the tv, the non HD ness of it will hurt my eyes and I will hate you for the rest of the week. HD TV has changed my life for the worse. That shit is addictive.
1. Christmas Music. I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY HATE XMAS MUSIC. I would rather listen to this on repeat. All day long.

On the 9th Day of Xmas...

I sing and shout with glee...
9 Movies you HAVE to watch for the holidays

9. Home Alone - This was the stuff back in the day. They left the homie on stuck for the holidays and he was having a ball until somebody tried to break in the crib. Can you imagine this movie today? I guess they remade it and called it Project X.

8. Trading Places - Vintage Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd. If for nothing else, it has a Bad Santa, and this scene with Billy Rae Valentine.
7. The Polar Express - If you have kids, you understand that they love this movie. It is like the total kid checklist: trains, snow, magic, toys, and singing. You can put this movie on repeat and get you some quiet time because they are not moving.
6. A Christmas Story - Every kid from this day forward did not stick their tongue on a light post. And Ralphie single handedly ended bullying at his school. That dude caught the beat down of his young life.
5. Bad Santa - Definitely not kid friendly but Santa was getting it on. Don't we think 50% of all mall Santas fall in this category? And the fat kid with the sandwiches? Wow.
4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Dr. Suess and Jim Carrey. Match made in heaven.
3.National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - The Griswolds used to travel everywhere. Those vacations never went as planned.
2. Rocky IV - It had snow. It was patriotic. How could you not like this movie?
1. Die Hard - Yippy ki yay mother fucker.


On the 10th day of Xmas....

I bring the real.
The unworldly amount of coverage of the school shootings in CT should be focused on a number of other issues. I bring up some of them...

10. Violence in America is everywhere. It is not isolated to the slums of Chicago, LA, New Orleans or New Jersey. Yes, even in the most isolated of areas, people kill people.
9. To echo that, no where is sacred. Schools, malls, movie theatres, churches after funerals, etc. This is not the first act committed at a school, we all remember and forget somewhat about Columbine and Virginia Tech most notably. I only say forget because there is always the next one that makes the last one seem so long ago. There have been over 181 school shootings since 1999.
8. Why do the shooters get all of the glory? I haven't been following the news too much on this one or the Batman shooter, but they were all over the news for weeks. I think the fake Morgan Freeman statement said it best....
7. When in doubt...ask Chris Rock.
6. Reinstate the ban on semi-automatic weapons. Almost all, if not all of these mass murders have been by semi-automatic weapons. Get rid of them. As well as large capacity magazines. Why do you need to hold 100 rounds at once unless you're going on a killing spree?
5. Can someone send a memo to potential mass murderers and tell them it is cooler to kill themselves first instead of at the end? Why do they do that? If you know you want to die, just off yourself off the top.
4. 40% of gun sales are from unlicensed gun sellers. Background checks are not required when purchasing from an unlicensed seller. You might as well have people passing out guns on the streets with all of the serial numbers scratched off. 
3. Re-funding for mental health crime prevention. There's already a few programs out there that have had success preventing such crimes.
2. How about we limit the number of guns one person can have??? Existing gun owners are responsible for most new purchases (about 20% of gun owners possess 65% of the nation's guns, according to a 2006 Harvard study).
1. How about we take a page out of the Japanese playbook for once...In order to purchase a gun you have to go through this process.
First, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you’ll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don’t forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years. …

But look at the results...
In 2008, US had over 12,000 gun-related homicides, Japan had 11.
In 2008, US had 587 killed by accidental gun discharges, Japan with there 128 million population had 2. Yes 2.
