Listening to...


Track: "With You" by Lil' Wayne featuring Drake.
I'm loving this track. 1) Weezy is actually rappin and not whining like some lil goblin 2) Drake killed the hook as usual and 3) Nice sexy vibe. :-)

Feel. Good. Music.


I really do love this track. (You can download it here!) Asher is a really dope MC (and he's a cutie but that long hair & 'stache is killin me lol). I can't wait to hear his new album though. The video is cool too, but I'm a sucka for black&white videos w/ a lil sprinkle of color visuals!  Also, anything inspirational is gonna brighten my day...check out "G.R.I.N.D." right here!


Another black&white video! Classic NellyMo....returns with a new single titled, "Just A Dream." This song has a very Over and Over Again vibe. I really like the track, the words are beautiful and the scenes in the video were pretty creative. I've been a Nelly fan since he came out and i was probably one of the few that liked his last album, "Brass Knuckles" LOL. But I hope he gets back to his level of success with this new album, 5.0, set to drop in November. "Just A Dream" has already cracked the top10 on the iTunes singles chart, so congrats to the St.Lunatic! 

An Angel Returns!

Yesterday, I lost one of my classmates to senseless violence and cowardly crime. While it hurts me to know that a good young man is now gone, leaving his family and close love ones to grieve at his short-living, it also angers me that his life was taken away over.....nothing! Innocent victim, bright young man, great athlete, joyest personality, great friend, brother, son, grandson....returns to the Heavens to fulfill his duties with the Lord. We love you and miss you Randal Baker Jr. :-)

And if you have any ideas to why this young man's life was taken or most importantly Who was responsible PLEASE contact the Hawthorne Police Department!

Revolution30 made to be cool.


Before the NBA season kicks off next month (which I am so ready for!!) the league has decided to reveal their new player jerseys. Not much change to the appearance, except a few extra holes, but the Revolution30 line by Adidas is designed to keep the players cool...literally! Here are the details:
Designed and developed by Adidas, the uniforms are 30 percent lighter and dry twice as fast as previous NBA uniforms to help enhance player performance by keeping athletes cooler, drier and more comfortable on the court. All 30 NBA teams will wear the new uniforms beginning this season.


The new uniforms, which are made from 60 percent recycled materials, feature adidas' Formation technology, which reduces seams, decreases friction between the garment and the player's skin and optimizes the player's natural movement through specially constructed material. Adidas reduced uniform weight and increased player comfort by switching front and back numbers from heavier, dense materials to breathable mesh. The new uniform absorbs moisture in less than three seconds as a result of Adidas CLIMACOOL fabrics, which move heat and sweat away from the body through a combination of moisture management materials, ventilation channels, and three-dimensional garments, helping the uniform dry twice as fast.

So, there you have it! Sounds good, but I don't really care, I'm just ready for the 2010-2011 NBA Season to kickoff. ;-) However, if you're interested in getting some of the new authentic jerseys click here.

"Top Dog!"


LOL.....Woooooow!!! I found this Philadelphia Daily Newspaper to be quite funny. And of course, because people in this world are too rigorous about what's right and don't know how to laugh, this headline is causing some controversy. But the most important news out of all of this is the fact that Michael Vick was named the starting QB again by coach, Andy Reid. I'm glad that he's come to his senses; just a few post back I told you guys that Coach Reid stated that with the return of Kevin Kolb next week he will assume his original position as starting QB. But looks like I wasn't the only one who got chills watching Mike Vick out on the field again, dodging sacks....way to go Andy! ;-)

Listening to...

Track: "Jump Down" by Travis Barker featuring TheCoolKids.
This dope track is off of Travis Barker's upcoming solo album titled, "Give The Drummer Some." He revealed the name via twitter and the Hip-Hop heavy project will include contributions from: The Neptunes, The Transplants, Snoop, Eminem Drake, Chester from LinkinPark and many more! PFOP has this leaked track over at their marvelous site, click  here to check it out.

Superman Returns!

Michael Vick made his first start since 2006. Wearing his #7 Philly jersey, he showed people that he is still the same Mike Vick that thrilled the crowd while leading his team down the field. His Eagles beat the Lions 35-32, while his stats were: 21-34, 284Yards, & 2TDs. Now, many (included myself) have stated that he showed enough to earn him the starting gig for the rest of the season. However, coach Andy Reid is saying that he's staying with his struggling starter, Kevin Kolb, and he will return as Philly's starter next sunday when he recovers from his injury. Well, if Kolb continues to struggle I think coach Reid will have no choice but to start Mike Vick for the remainder of the year. This offseason, Vick only signed with Philly for a year so hopefully he gets his chance to start one day in the NFL again.

Kanye never one to Runaway


After his performance on the VMAs i quickly went out to go search for his new track, "Runaway." I believe Kanye is trying to right some of his wrongs, however, he is undoubtedly a little unbalanced! :-/ But in all honesty, that's most great artists and if you still refuse to respect his musical ability, then you just don't respect Hip-Hop. But to the rest, click here to listen and/or download the new track featuring Pusha-T from the Clipse.

Musical Vet.


Here is one more hot new video for you guys. Ne-Yo(along with Trey and John Legend)is definitely holding down the R&B game! I was obsessed with "Champagne Life" and now this is his new track entitled, "One In A Million."

Musical Sophomores







Here are two new videos by Jeremih and Jazmine Sullivan. Both artists are preparing to release their sophomore albums. I love Jeremih's "I Like" ft. Ludacris, it's a fun sexy song and Luda makes everything hotter. However, the Jazmine track, "Holding You Down (Goin' In Circles)" ft. Missy is just now growing on me....I really like the fun video though and her leading man is pretty nice to look at (even though he's the villain). Check 'em out!

Ray Lewis III


Football season has officially begun! And I know many of you football lovers saw Ray Lewis' Baltimore Ravens pulled off a close 10-9 victory over the NewYork Jets. And yes, RayRay was as dominant and hard-hitting as ever. However, he was outdone by none other than his son, Ray Lewis III.
His son, attending Lake Mary Prep, recorded an amazing 504-yard game! To break it down, Baby RayRay gained 206 total yards and two touchdowns on punt returns, 101 total yards on kickoff returns, 104 yards rushing, 27 yards receiving, and 66 yards passing, on a perfect 6-for-6 performance through the air. He is listed as RB and LB, but also plays QB from time to time, so umm yeah the kid is sick. What else should you expect from the offspring of the NFL's most dominate force and ultimate leader?
