WebNerd Alert: Google +1

This is pretty major on a few different fronts:

1. If you have a Google account and you activate +1, Google will pretty much know (without much doubt) exactly what you like, enjoy, or are interested in. That means much more accurately targeted ads by Google and Google's ad partners (AdSense anyone) to your search results pages and probably many other pages potentially will have ads that are ON POINT. Not to mention you will be able to +1 ads as well. Which really just means that Google makes more money by presenting you with ads you're more likely to click.


2. This is really just a small step into the world of social networking for Google. The Buzz experiment failed (or as some say, was a bit ahead of it's time and people weren't quite ready to use it or know how to best use it), and that was a step in the social networking space whether you believe it or not. We're all familiar with the "like" button on Facebook. The difference between Facebook's like button and +1 will be that no one goes to FB to search, they go to Google. So every time you decide you want to perform a search, you can help increase the accuracy of Google's results (for yourself and others) by "+1"-ing.


3. This is probably just the beginning of a fight between Google and Facebook to control the social networking and/or search space. Facebook controls social networking, Google controls (read: has access to tons of) data. Pretty soon they'll be competing head-to-head whether it's over search or socializing. It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I'd place my bet on Google if I had to. The next Internet revolution will be driven by data and Google's got it, lots of it. And they're cooking up some shyt in the lab, I'm sure.b

My Latest Pair: Pony GI Sneaker

It's been a minute since I've posted a pair of kicks. I may have bought two pair since my last pair displayed here but I've been lazy. Oh well.

By now you know that I've got a thing for red and accordingly, these joints have red in them. Probably won't wear these until the weather breaks for consistent warmness, just wanted to share.

Video: Big K.R.I.T. - Children of the World

I've been a fan of K.R.I.T. since I heard his Big KRIT WUZ Here mixtape. This is probably my favorite track from that mixtape, I always have to run it back a couple times.

And they wonder why we bang
cause police do the same, that's the only rival gang
I'm just sitting here, praying to my father
Tired of today, forever scared of tomorrow
Where's a scale I could borrow? Cause living ain't cheap
I dropped out of school, pops, cause college ain't free
Plus college ain't me, sitting in the class
Questions rushing in my brain but I'm too proud to ask
Take it all in stride, teacher talking physics
And I just want to be fly
What good is a degree when there's no jobs to apply?
And fast food won't do 'cause you overqualified
I'm feeling like hustling
Tired of the foodstamps and budgeting
Running in so much work, the school buzz it in
God and our wrists the only things we be trusting in
All else fails, I'm in a casket like fuck it then
Either get rich or die poor
Nigga fell short and god jammed, but he tried though
I'm pretty sure my first words were "survival"
Looking for the answers to my problems in the Bible
Cause we just, try and decode all the secrets
My conversations with God always seem leave him speechless
And even when I was at my worst like "we got to make this work"
My girl found time to leave me, too broke to give a fuck though
My past relationships got me like "what up, ho?"
I'm just bitter, I ain't asking what you fuck for
It's disrespectful, I admit
I was just saying, if you wonder why I call you "bitch"
Cause we just, guess I looked up to the pimps
I ain't saying it wasn't wrong, but they had the freshest fits
The cars and the broads and the kicks
Is something to strive for when you ain't never had shit
I'm feeling like what the fuck, they want my soul
Like my ancestors' ain't enough
If I can't trust my own government, who can I trust?
If I abuse myself daily, who can I love?
Shorty might have AIDS like who can I fuck? Sure enough
That be the day that the rubber bust or I have a kid
Deprived of all the things that my father did
Cause the momma was a groupie and I was on some rapper shit
They gave me Hell like I asked for it
Signing everything under the sun but they ain't ask for K.R.I.T.
I guess I didn't swag enough
Stupid fruity pebble chain, Louis bag enough
Popping tags, model bitches, couldn't brag enough
Bubble kush, he stupid loud, jet lag enough
Steady acting like I ain't had enough
Ten chains on your neck like you ain't flashy enough
I wreck so many times, I guess I ain't crash enough
On the track like I'm pushing crack, bag it up
I tell these niggas to back it up
My bitch like scarves, gave the Louis rag to her
'Sace shades on my eyes like I ain't seeing the hate
Too fresh to death, I couldn't attend the wake
That's too lyrical, he been 'round busting
Mississippi? Where, he don't sound Southern
He been down cousin since '05, I swear
The game's a pound of Reggie
So anything I sell's a breath of air
Yeah, fuck with me

Charlie, some people are saying you're bi-polar... "I'm bi-WINNING!"

CyHi Da Prince - Studder

This is an old joint from CyHi off Greg Streets Presents Prynce: What Da Dec's Been Missing Volume 2 CD (released in 2009). If you've been visiting this blog over the past few months you're already aware that I'm a big CyHi fan. I've been discovering some of his older stuff that I've never heard so expect some more new posts from me about old CyHi materials. Until then, enjoy this joint below called "Studder".

Kevin Hart (aka Chocolate Drop... pause) is a FOOL!

I lost it when this fool rapped….

Got a gun in my hand what you see, A BULLET
IN YO FACE!

… and then grabbed the pens and shook 'em, lol.

The 7 bars rap is hilarious too, LMAO!

THROWBACK --> Talib Kweli feat. Hi-Tek - The Blast

This is easily one of my favorite Talib tracks of all time (I liked this one a lot too). That's probably a bit cliché considering it was also one of his most commercially visible/successful joints but hey, what can I say? I like it, a lot.

Let's get it Ernie McCRACKEN!

If you haven't seen the movie Kingpin you are missing out on some hilarious comedy! Just watch this clip until Bill Murray's let's a classic go at the 1:10 mark, lol.


As you may have guessed from the name, the movie is about bowling (not about drugs). Here's another clip from the movie where Bill Murray is absolutely CLASSIC!
