A picture is worth a thousand words

How ironic?

RIP Omar Little - the death of a legend

I am sad like Omar was a real person, not just a character. This is the last season of the only TV show that matters. I got satellite just to watch the The Wire. And one of the primary reasons is Omar Little. Excuse me while I fight back tears.........

If you didnt know, he was the most captivating character I have ever seen. Since the first season's memorable scene, when he walked up the alley wearing a trench coat, bulletproof vest, brandishing a sawed off shotgun. Very imposing right, but this clown whistled, "The Farmer in the Dell," while all the dope boys fled at the mere sight of him. I remember looking over to my Mom, awestruck. It happened many times thereafter, from the gay lovers, the quotables to the daring robberies. Even last week he terrorized Stanfield's crew, hobbling on a makeshift crutch.

As a viewer, I have been amazed that he lasted this long. He was the predator of predators, and he was struck down by a pygmy hopper, while getting some "Nou - Po'ts" his cigarette of choice. I expected a vicious gun battle. I guess he said it best,"Its all in the game."






Omar was thug even as a shorty


RIP Omar, you will be missed.

I bet you expected something Valentine's related

This has nothing to with Valentine's of course. Would you expect anything less from me? This is just the funniest shit I have seen in a while. He looked like Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, needless to say, I wasn't ready.

Now the obligatory, Happy Valentine's Day to some, happy day before payday to others. well its only appropriate i give you a gift on this day. we have a sort of relationship, i write you read, i guess thats kind of a relationship. i guess i owe you something so you stay around. so there was a good one for ya. i hope this isnt all you get on this day. one, o2

The Lost Art of DJing

The foundation of our ever-pervasive hip-hop culture is eroding as we speak. By and large breaking and grafitti are fossils of the past. Soon we will have hip-hop archealogists will unearth historical documents like "Planet Rock" to serve as evidence.

Djing is a lost art, similiar to the mid-range jump shot in the NBA. Don't be fooled there are many imitators out there. Even worse, they can be found at a club, bar or lounge near you. Even more absurd they are getting paid to irrate you, to tease the part of you that has waited all week to party to be grossly dissappointed. You see their names on fliers, names mentioned on the radio leading you to believe they are professional, sufficient or qualified. A large collection and some equipment isn't enough. Last nights music selection's almost reached an all-time low. He should be ashamed.

Warning: if you are playing, Mary J. Blige - Just Fine,Webbie's I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, Duffle Bag Boy, Alicia Keys - No Way, and the ulimate slap the DJ in the face number Upgrade You by Beyonce, duck for flying objects. Ashtrays, chairs, glasses, bottle openers, table decorations, mushy tomatoes (thats for you ?myk) etc. will be thrown at you. I hope you have a good insurance plan. Angry and disgruntled I will make you pay in blood. Well known DJs are not exempt. I mean are not exempt. Some of you are slack, living of your early '90s fame(insert name here). I'm paying 2008 money for you to spin records with no passion or energy. Even worse to play 45 second snippets of your entire record collection.

Don't get me started on the Serato. For those who don't know a Serato, is a trickery device. Now DJs dont even have to carry their horrible collections in crates, its all on the computer. In the past one might have to think twice before loading another crate of Bullshit on vinyl like the Mississippi Cha-Cha slide behind your obligatory Biggie-Junior Mafia set,(ps. i have no problem with the set its just been over used, lets do something new and provocative) and the most horrid of all Fat Man Scoop's "Engine, Engine Number 9."


I search and I see few glimpses of hope and them I do support. But to the rest, I hope I stepped on your toes, be prepared for more.

Some of these fools can't even read the crowd, you know when the crowd is always either fleeing or running to the floor for a song, not even a set of songs.

This is the first edition of many to follow, be on the lookout for "The Lost Art of Stripping," coming soon to a computer screen near you.

Educated women this is for you

Tired of catching the bouquet? Do you think time is running out? Are you prime years wasted on the couch watching network TV alone? Well, I got something for you.
I have engaged with many discussions about this topic over the last few months. I feel i must now put it in print to share with the public at large. so let me begin....


Women are women, men are men. thats a simple statement right. you are talented, educated, sophisticated, and successful. unfortunately this combo does not make finding a mate any easier. i have heard that men are intimidated by you. yeah some lame might be intimidated by his own professional shortcomings and be intimidated. you don't need him anyway so he doesnt count. he is obviously unsuitable. Personally, i think thats a crutch used to prop up your own self-esteem. seriously, men desire certain qualities from our women and a sucessful career is not necessarily at the top of the list. we need attentiveness, accessibility, warmth, concern, freakiness, etc. its not that we dont value your success but it is a quality amongst others. not above but amongst. therefore if the other qualities are not in line we will look elsewhere. furthermore, i'm not your bitch cause you make more money. women may stand for that, taking a constant dose of act right cause he has money. that doesnt go as smoothly for a man especially one with pride. one day like a caged monkey he will respond in the worst way to our overbearing ways, unless he has already turned over his balls to you. then you wont respect him for yet another reason. sometimes we cant win for losing. needless to say, women dont be discouraged just re-evalute yourselves. talk to older women with successful relationships and take some of their experiences for yourself. i said successful. then mix and match the two to make a fruitful enviroment for a good relationship. yes, you can have the world on your own, but you have to give in some ways to have someone to share it with. if that doesnt work, i am a stud for hire. i can email that personal resume to you. hit me up later.

God Bless Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson..........

On a serious note, I stumbled across this and was immediately offended. From the time he scaled the pole like a tribesmen in Papau New Guinea, to the premise that their product looks like shit, and he was a big turd lying on the 'toothbrush bed", to the title, etc. But thats a diatribe for another day, maybe even another blog. I usually dont get caught up in the hooplah of Sharpton or Jackson, but at least they can cause a media circus. The media circus makes people think twice and even lose their jobs sometimes. For maybe no other reason, the bad press keeps garbage like this from being on American TV screens, mostly. At the minimum one has to find new and ingenious ways to denigrate black people in the media, or let us do it ourselves (You've seen Master P's masterpiece "I got the Hook-up and many others too numerous to name).
