King Baaackkkkkk

		Fans have been eagerly clamoring for new music from Andre 3000 for years now. Well, it looks like prayers will be answered very soon, in the form of a new solo album from 3 Stacks. According to Stephen G. Hill, President of Music Programming and Specials for BET Networks, Andre told him directly that his next project will be coming out at the top of 2014. The conversation happened backstage at the Washington D.C. tour stop of the America's Most Wanted Tour last night. At this point, no further details have been provided, but stay tuned. That said, it looks like we might now know what Andre has been working on with Mike WiLL Made It recently.  Now the real question is how many songs will feature Big Boi. I'm going over under set at 2. As much as I love them together, I can dig them separately as well. Oh well, at least we can expect something off the wall. People forget Outkast and Dre in particular was the first Kanye blow the doors off normal and do his own thing rapper. Yall remember these kinds of outfits.....

		Apparently, when Redick was a rookie in 2007, he and his then girlfriend (well known NBA lady friend Vanessa Lopez) had an abortion contract drawn up stating that Redick had to agree to maintain his relationship with Lopez if an abortion was to go though. He’d also pay her $25,000 bucks. Yeah. You read that right. But just to be sure, read it again – I’ll wait. Lopez is no stranger to the NBA spotlight as she’s been in legal battles with both Kenyon Martin and Shaquille O’Neal. Why NBA players continue to ‘date’ from the same pool, I have no idea. You can read the full legal report on MediaTakeOut’s website but here are the juicy bits: http://fansided.com/2013/07/23/los-a...er-girlfriend/

Jacked Up...kinda

Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed has been fined $55,000 for his hit on New York Giantswide receiver Victor Cruz in Sunday's game.

An NFL spokesman confirmed Reed's fine for striking a defenseless player in the head and neck area.

Reed will not be suspended, according to a FOX Sports report.

Reed was penalized when he delivered a shoulder blow high to the upper body of the wide receiver.

Reed might as well retire. This is the 2nd or 3rd time they tried to hit him in the pockets for playing ball. Funny thing, he tried to help that boy get up for salsa time.

 The game dun changed yo.

Shake n Bake

My favorite one from that top 10. Jamal Crawford wakes up in the morning and already has 12 pts, has 18 by the time he gets off the bus and may drop 30 on you if he plays in the game. Dude has been a killer in the league for a long time. Glad he getting some big market shine in the league in Lob City.

Jacked UP

A few thoughts/questions
1. Why after somebody gets drilled like that, his teammates feel the need to slap him on the head? Does that put his brain back in equilibrium by smacking him on the helmet?
2. How is that a flag? Perfect hit
3. Did you see how many flags they threw on that? It was like they was mad at the Seahawks for unleashing a can of whoop azz on the 49ers on national tv. I think all of those refs are from the Bay area and got mad that Vernon got laid out.

Rapper of the Year

I cast my vote for Rapper of the Year to one Nasir Jones.
I know church people always say this, but sometimes it feels like the preacher is talking directly to you. Well, my preacher this year was Nas. From Life is Good to features to whatever, it feels like I was right there nodding my head. I guess he went through a lot more than me. 
But its apples to oranges, he makes good money for what he does, I make decent money for what I do. I'm pretty sure if you ask him off the record, its not about the money, its about the kids and what "it really" takes to raise a kid....two parents. 
I'm pretty sure most real rap fans are familiar with Nas work this year but if you aren't, the songs he talked to me and only me, Daughters, Roses, Bye Baby, Cherry Wine, Summer on Smash, You Wouldn't Understand. Those were off the album. If you mad at your chick or going through a breakup, don't listen to Roses. It will be the only song that you want to hear. Again, NAS captured every emotion possible of a breakup with a dumb chick. I had to actually purchase this cd. Let me repeat, I bought an album with money from a store. Yes, I know that shocks people. My favorite verse of the year. Below. Nas spazzed on this bish. It was a hidden lyrical song with Scarface on DJ Khaled's Kiss the Ring and its collection of bling bishes and blunts.

And if I cry two tears for her
That would be the most that I can give to her
I am Joseph, Darryl, Jason, Dr. Dre, O'Shea
And a host of those who passed away
Today I'm Drake, I'm Wayne, 2 Chainz
You say you want to rap, to this bitch you must commit
Then you're a slave to your grave, you won't get out, you cannot quit
She menstruates weekly, her vibe covers keep you warm
But the source to her heart is love, word up, right on
You know how girls are, she love when you licking on her world star
Kissing on her belly, trick on her at Onyx
Confused fans think that she illuminates demonic
But she's the object of my affections, God's essence, God bless her
She bought me Bentleys, Breitlings, made some friends resent me
For writing about my life, they thought I should have stayed quiet
She took me to places I would have never saw without her
And she took me from my girl powder
I doubt I'll ever be the same, hallowed be thy name
Give me strength so I don't do this dame like Orenthal James
Brad warned me while driving this auburn Ferrari
Never follow in her games, I fuck around and I'll be sorry
But I tried her used to ride her, for dollars not the fame
She slowed me down and had me guzzling on cups of lean
She's a middle-aged cougar, showing young'uns the dream
Noticed she wasn't breathing for a second then I screamed
"She's dead!" and everybody took it out on Nasty
I was just looking out for my music family
Wasn't trying to claim her to myself, she's yours
You can have her she's a motherfucking whore
I fuck Hip Hop

On the 1st day....

MANNNNnnnn....its XMAS!!!!!!

The last song doesn't remind me of Xmas but it sums up what Xmas should be about....Family and Love. It's not about expensive gifts and new outfits, definitely not about Jordans that people are getting robbed and shot for, not the newest games for the XtascyBox or PSThrizzle. If you are celebrating the sales more than your family, you are missing out. Enjoy your family and friends and hell even strangers today. I know I'm looking forward to seeing all of my peeps today, and even some strangers.

On the 2nd Day of Xmas...

We getting close to the real thing....
2 Things that Didnt Happen in 2012

2. The world didnt end. I feel sorry for all of those dumb believe in every theory that comes up and gains steam. I wonder how people can believe all this stuff and in the same breath not believe in the story of creation. These are the same assholes that bought up all the water and batteries. I had to go to 3 Walmarts to get a case of water. Summabish.
So since the world didn't blow up....that leads me to...

1. Nothing changed too much. Nothing changed in 2012. People are still killing people in mass murders. Still doing drugs. Still smoking weed. Still cheaters fornicaters and sinners. Still corny ass dances becoming popular. Still bad fads catching on. Still gays lesbians and straights and I guess others. Still racism. Still poverty. Still no healthcare for everyone. Still genocides not only in Africa, but in the US amongst young black males. Still Black QBs dont get the same standards as their white counterparts. Still no white superstars in the NBA. Still no black superstars in baseball or hockey. Still no TO on an NFL team. Reality tv still sucks and stinks and is poisoning people's mind. Still no quality Black shows on BET. Still no true reason for not having a NCAA Football Playoff that doesn't scheme on the money. Still no Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight. Still no playoff berths for the Bobcats or Pirates or Cowboys. Still baby momma drama. Still people out here making babies they can't take care, won't take care of, didn't want in the first place, got tricked into the "I'm on the pill and can't get pregnant" speech. People still smoking with cancer. My president still black.

On the 3rd Day of Xmas...

I'm running of things to see...
The 3 Best Worst Rappers in the Game

The best worst as in, they are absolutely horrible but yet you find yourself knowing at least 2 or 3 of their anthem songs and you are not afraid to admit that you like this stupid shit.

3. Trinidad James - All Gold Everything
This guy has came on the scene and took the rap game by storm. He is leading the league in 4 categories right out of the gate: Worst Outfit, Worst Teeth, Worst Flow, and Worst Video. Don't believe me just watch.

2b. Future - Pluto
I don't know if this guy is rnb or rap but he is confused. He has taken on the autotune rap style and you almost start thinking that is his real voice as much as he switches from regular to autotuned so much. His best work is as a hook man, but for some reason, if you go to a club or strip club, this dude gets more spins than the entire West Coast. Every song is either Future or featuring this cat. I don't get it.

2a. Chief Keef - Finally Rich
The one hit wonder that somehow keeps pumpin out more terrible music finally dropped an album this week. The numbers...projected to move about 60k units. Considering that T.I. is going to move about 175k, I don't see how this is happening but the guy has a following. I guess it is the youth movement of no morals, get high, skinny jeans, and bad haircuts driving this train while being drunk and popping mollys.

1. Gucci Mane - Da Trap Gawd
Nobody is taking the crown from Mr Zone 6 anytime soon. Gucci has his place on the Mr Rushmore of wackness for years to come. He just has too much volume of work. I would hate to look at his discography of wackness. It would pain me to see. I haven't listen to Gucci since Bricks but apparently through beefs, shootouts, and trapping, Gucci is still the man in these streets.

I always wondered....

what the hell they was talking about in the game.
