Worse I Ever Had

So you know I've been meaning to comment on this bs for a while. First off, the video, "Best I Ever Had", is stupid and its point muddled at best if there was one at all. Second, why the hell would they make a video about being "The Fucking Best" and lose? Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Imbecile. Third, idk why everyone is so disappointed. Little Jimmy aka Aubrey Graham aka Mr. Young Money has never been that great. As far as his lyricism, HE'S WACK! I've heard his mixtapes and honestly, Chris Brown is a better rapper than that nigga. Hell, Chris Brown's whole assault charge makes him more gangsta than Jimmy Drake too. I can't believe I even have to have this conversation. I've been saying since this little nigga was on Degrassi that he was garbage. For the real people that have followed Lil Wheelchair Jimmy you know that Ashley was the better half of that paraplegic duo. And this video of him converting to the dark side of Entertainment Industry Superficiality was only inevitable from this mediocre rapper who can't sing. If we had realized his lack of talent earlier on, we'd have known that his rap swag is the same flavor as his acting: vanilla. I'm just sayin.

Pretty Bored Wings

Maxwell is simply one of the greatest voices of our time. And in my lazing about the house, this is what I came up with. Not hating on some of the current artists out there, I'm just sayin.

Black Star Power

Isn't it funny how sometimes we as young adults experience our elders' disconnection from our generation. It happened to me while watching the BET Awards with my mother. She tried frantically to identify the current stars of the Entertainment Industry. And I struggled to curb my agitation with her cultural illiteracy. I suppose it's not her fault; while the impatience of youth leaves me a little more than slightly flustered by this natural inquisitive need to rebuild this long fallen bridge to pop culture. Excuse me while I get myself together. I know you're trying to stay "with it" but "it" left a loooooong time ago and no amount of BET is going to bring it back. Especially not with our modern age of coonery. I'm just sayin.

Shoutin it Down!

Some people in the Music Industry can't sing. And while they can sell albums, there are few with this amount of talent in one stairwell. Not hatin. I'm just sayin. Dem boyz can sang!!!

You Think You Know, But You Have No Idea..

You knew it was going to be a hard game when the whole 1st Quarter is spent with 7 lead changes. But not when you get that man "fired up and ready to go!" Say what you want about the transient fans of basketball, but I am one of them becasue honestly until summer comes I don't have time to devote so many hours of time into watching every damn game. I usually pick up during the Playoffs and decide who I want to win, but this year has just been like any other. Celtics couldn't get it going with KG and the gang. The Heat weren't even in the running despite all the greatness of D. Wade. And the Cavs were knocked out of their chance for the running in the upset between them and the Orlando Magic. But one thing remains consistent in the Western Conference. No matter what anyone says, the Lakers remain a well-oiled machine. Yeah, they've been robbed of a few championships in their era, but it is still the Age of the Purple and Gold. When they had ShaqDiesel and Lamar Odom was just trying to earn his keep on the Heat and the Clippers, they were knocking em down. The dynamic duo was truly a force to be reckoned with. They tried to reformulate that kind of chemistry with Wade and Shaq but it just wasn't the same. Shaq got old and Wade just didn't have enough help offensively. Meanwhile on the Westside, Lamar Odom's lack of motivation and sloppy play sometimes left me feeling like the G.O.A.T. when they just couldn't seize the Championship. Nevertheless, the one consistent thing that has always been a sight for sore eyes has been Kobe Bryant. He is simply impeccable. When he was alongside Shaq he was clearly the Star to shine beside the Behemoth that Shaquille O'Neal is. But without his love/hate partner in crime it has been a harder road for Kobe getting back to the Finals each year. But somehow he has fought to get there. Made out to be the bad guy with the media.



The Hot Head. The Alleged Rapist. The Showoff. But there is one thing that people have to realize, he really is probably the best that will ever play the game. I will admit I was swept up in the whole Lebron is the Chosen One thing, but experience is the best teacher. Lebron is just not ready yet. Kobe is ready. And has been for some time now. He shouted at his teammates. Jeered in opponents' faces. And got his rocks off with a white girl or two. Big deal. This man is human. Correction: this man is SuperHuman. And no matter how much time the media spends tearing this man down, they can never deny his talent as an athlete. You can say what you want. But I'm dusting off my "8" and "24" Lakers Jerseys and hopping on the bandwagon of the Winning Team. Don't judge me. I'm just sayin.

Bittersweet Irony

Not that you aren't great or anything but maybe you should have took your own advice, Your Highness. I'm just sayin....

Shiny, Spectacular, & Baby Blue All Over

It's funny it hasn't even been a full 24 hours since I posted that blog about the Gays and here I am on the very next day flooded with a ton of material in the form of the one video that made its way to the Informational SuperHighway and then spread like wildfire. Spectacular from boy band, Pretty Ricky managed to single-handedly destroy the group's career by exposing the truth about most boy bands. They're gay. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but most times it's a sad truth that America and moreover the world is not ready to admit. When Lance Bass came out the closet there was mayhem. When Raz-B of B2K hinted that he was gay, appeared on Noah's Arc (popular gay tv show), and spoke at a Pride Event the world held their breath and forced many gay black men into the same conundrum that continues this irrational cycle of homophobia. And I guess to some degree this was a culture shock to many. The straight community has always been largely oblivious to the contemporary flexibility that the average homosexual African American male posesses, because you have never encountered it. But trust most of these men you call "sissies" are a half a pirouette away from being a classically trained ballerina. So, I understand if seeing your would-be Sex Symbol, Spectacular spin, dip, and wind like the homosexual he is, made you a little bit uncomfortable. But guess what, it is your own homophobia that causes more of your internal revulsion rather than anything Spectacular Blue Smith did. Now, admittedly there was an easier and better way tell the world about his sexuality, this video should still be no cause for alarm. Just type in "boys dancing" on YouTube and you can begin broadening your horizons today. Otherwise, get over it. Shit happens. People are gay. And just because he was the epitome of everything you wanted in an uneducated, thugged-out boyfriend doesn't make him anything less acceptable just because now you realize he's just as inaccessible to you now as before. Sorry America. The man is human. Gay. And you all are fucked up. Why should everyone have to fight for the right to be themselves? Isn't that what this country was founded for? I'm just sayin.
