I had a huge post planned out in my head that was going to be a year end round up of events, people, places etc. and I had intended to call people out, clown people etc. but at the same time I was thinking like…I don’t need to start a new year off with bad karma. Granted I still have hella growing up to do and coming up on the quarter century will give a n-gga the chills, but I’m focused. Alot of the talking and saying this was gonna happen and that was gonna happen hasn’t. I’m not about alot of talking, just action.

2005 lets get it crackn.

Have a happy and safe New Years Eve and New Years. We all need a fresh start in 05 to make life bigger and better than ‘04.

Lets go.

Anytime the Clipse get an appreciation thread you know that there is something right with this world.

The JayZ/Linkin Park mash up project was more of a meeting of smart minds who knew they could sell hella records then a true blending of music. I’m not mad though, and neither is this dude.

Internet record hating nerd niggas dudes update.

there will be more awards given out, those were just fresh off teh top of the dome. If you want to add any blog categories, use the comments section.

With gas prices falling niggas in MD were acting like they were giving away free crack @ gas stations. I had to wait (in the snow) 15 minutes for an open pump. Believe I took my damn time.

DERRTY DERRTY is doing it real big. Dude admitted hes got Ashanti, that damn song with Tim McGraw is huge, and it seems as if the Bobcats don’t suck super bad. Chingy is mad.

Aww man this article on Cam is golden: “Fly doesn’t necessarily mean your clothes. Fly means when I wake up in the morning, before I put my socks on, I’m fly. I’m at the hotel somewhere, takin’ a pi– in the morning like, ‘I’m Cam, man, I’m fly.’ I don’t even got my T-shirt on and I already know I’m fly before I wake up in the morning. When I get out the bed, I say my prayers and be thankful for being so fly. I be having cold sleep in my eyes and I know I’m still at the bathroom, fly like this. It’s a whole swagger, a bathroom swagger.”
Cam stood amongst members of his crew, the Diplomats, and seemed possessed by the power of his sermon. “It’s bigger than me, you know?” he continued. “You can’t buy this in stores � you gotta be born with this. This is instilled in you. I should bottle it up and sell my swagger. I could get at least $12 million for it because ain’t nobody else got it”. Killa b-tch.

whats poppin?

who got a flow and a live show better than mine?

So over the weekend I saw Camp Lo perform. It was cool. Them dudes ran thru their set hella quik (after bullshit opening dudes, then mr.complex, then grand agent) and it was cool just to hear Coolie High and Luchini live. I mean it isn’t ‘97 but I was still super amped (and am hella tired now).

Learn how to make fly stencils.

As far as Maroon 5s second album is concerned, if they go in another direction i think it’d be a bad move. They are already embraced by damn near the whole industry so shifting gears (to me) would be a bad move.

The NYPD says no to Hov and the 40/40 Club?

Check out Hampton Univesity president Harvey in this article about universities and business: “Not only am I an educator, I�m a businessman”. Dude is a hustler for real.
