1 of the BEST DUNKS EVER!
THAT, friends, is what you call a 720. You know, 360 times 2!!! CRAZY!!! Now I'm gonna be itching to see this done by a professional in the dunk contest next year. Nate Robinson, good luck!
UPDATE:
I was politely reminded that I need to remember this dunk...
VINSANITY!!!!
MUSIC: Boondock Saints
LISTEN TO THIS...Little Brother - Boondock Saints Featuring L.E.G.A.C.Y. & Chaundon
Now Imma let you know that THIS IS the HOTTEST rap joint you've heard in a minute. Don't believe me...LISTEN TO IT AGAIN...Nah, really, LIIIISSSSSSSTTTTTEEEEEENNNN (shot out to DJ Khaled)
Lyrics man...Lyrics! Let me type this thing out for you guys (the second verse by Phonte)...
Right, back to business off a 6-week tour/
And I ain't never seen drama like this before/
Gotta lotta shyt to get off my chest, some wild shyt to address/
So I told Crisis press record/
Imma put it on wax and give you the raw facts/
And truth about life and things I'm dealin' wit/
Black folks saying that I'm too intelligent/
And white folks saying Imma little too niggerish/
It got me in a strange predicament/
I wish BET and MTV would judge more wisely/
But I don't know what's worse the fact that they ain't playing our shyt/
Or the fact that it don't even surprise me/
Because I ain't shucking, because I ain't jivin'/
Some of these crackers won't stand beside me/
And cuz I ain't killin' and don't support pimpin'/
Some of these ni99as wanna call me a Cosby/
Well, I'll be that dude, I'll scratch that itch/
I'll play that role, call me Heathcliff bitch!/
And if this ain't what you want then fine/
But somehow someway we gotta draw that line/
And it goes without mentioning/
I thought about censoring this verse so my label and managers stay cool/
But as of this recording, we ain't even out-sold The Listening/
So really what the phuck I got to lose?/
B&tch is phon-tiggah, low the show rippah/
Hold cuz my hos would change week-to-week/
But now my flows be changing from beat-to-beat/
Tell my ni99a Jim Bones we gotta beat the street/
Cuz I know that they need us/
It's gotta be more to this generation than drinkin and smoking all the weed up/
This my confession with the embassy, you f&cking embeciles can put your rosary beads up (NOW!)/
And don't even let me get into the next cat, Chaundon.
Ex 1 - "Bet I drop more names than a GAME verse!" LOL
Ex 2 - "I'm terrorizing cyphers, you can't blame Osama for that shyt"
Ex 3 - "You don't wanna battle me right? I guarantee you'll see more Els than the Lower East Side"
Matter of fact, this whole album is so dope, I gotta share it with everybody. Time for THELEAK SPILL!

FOR THE LADIES
Ladies, I could not resist posting a link to this blogpost. After reading this, I had to post a link to it. ENJOY!
Zuri She Wrote - My Husband
Zuri She Wrote - My Husband
9th Wonder isn't part of the Minstrel Show
9th Wonder of the rap group Little Brother gives some good insight in regard to the social issues regarding hip-hop. This audio is quite long so I recommend listening when you have some time to spare. But it's a good listen. I like this guy even more after listening to this interview.

Looking to the FUTURE
I just read a short article on the "revamping" of CD packaging by Universal Music Group.
To summarize, Universal is going to repackage CDS into three separate types of packaging. You'll have the deluxe CD packaging with a stronger case (I suspect) and some other "deluxe" features. A normal case that's probably going to be alot like what we have now. And then the lowball package that'll most likely be sleeves like you'd get at a promo concert of something.
The purpose of all this is to boost CD sales. Due to competition from online album sales through services like ITunes, CD sales will probably decline even more in the years to come as well all start to migrate (like I am attempting to do now) to devices like iPods and cellphones that we can download albums directly onto. My personal mission that I would like to accomplish by the years end is to combine my palm pilot, cellphone, and music player into one device that is small enough to tote around on my hip. I am hoping and praying that the Motorola Q can do this for me in an effective manner.
Anyway, after reading the article, I thought about how one day I know for a fact that I will no longer buy my CDs at the store or online (for shipping to my home). I am 100% sure that pretty soon (if not already) we'll be able to download an entire album of music directly to our mobile phone or iPod and then print out the CD cover and liner notes if we wish, by simply syncing our hand-held device with out computer. As I type this I realize that if I'm thinking of this right now, then some company MUST already be doing it. So I can see the day where I don't buy CDs anymore, just download them and keep it moving. It'll be quicker than going to the store and I can even preview snippets of the songs I want to download before I pay for them. God I love technology! Thank you for giving it to us!
Cellphone, PDA, Jukebox! Man! If you can't embrace and enjoy technology, LET ME HELP YOU!
"Ooh I think she like me, she got me on her ringtone!"

Lil Kim's HOME!!!
(UPDATE: Here's a very interesting article that is along the lines of the content of this post)
Woohoo! Is it just me or is this getting more press than when Nelson Mandela was released from prison?
Lil Kim gets released from jail for doing like 5 months for being a down-@$$-chick ans not snitching (Skinny Suge would be proud)! Who cares? I'm glad she's not incarcerated, but there are alot of other things hip-hop could be happy about. But you can look forward to, or look reluctantly upon (depending on your perspective) more of this shyt...
1. Hooray for Lil Kim being released!!! Now she can go back to being the Oprah of the ghetto (HUH???)
Isn't it funny how the girl behind her can't even see her ta-ta's and has this appauled look on her face? LOL. Also, either she needs her stomach ironed or somebody had a C-section and no kids
2. The 1-handed one-tiddy salute to all her fans
3. I guess Kim's mom served camel for dinner at the welcome home party???
So while it's great that another black person isn't in jail, let's be realistic about just how happy and overjoyed we need to be about Ms. Jones returning home. Because if she's not reformed (as in saw a psychiatrist to deal with the issues WE ALL KNOW SHE HAS) and still prancing around like a HOT @$$ MESS like she used to, I don't understand why *some* folks are so pumped to have her back. It's not like her catalog of LP's contains that much good music...
"Four albums in ten years nigga? I can divide
That's one every let's say two, two of them shits was due"
Since Biggie died, Lil Kim just hasn't been the same and yours truly, has not been a fan of her at all. Yeah, she became a little bit endearing through that reality series BET did on her before she got locked up, but her track record of reckless and semi bipolar behavior speaks for itself.
Last but not least. To all the beautiful, intelligent, and self-respecting black women out there who are pumped about Lil Kim coming home or who live their promiscuous life vicariously through Lil Kim's lyrics...Please re-visit this post when any of the following happens. Not that any of these things are acceptable but I'm trying to make a point herre.
1. You get your butt or breasts grabbed in the club.
NOTE: I was informed earlier this year that some grown men still do this. I thought this type of stuff ended when a guy lost his virginity (kinda like trying to look up a girl's skirt) but I guess not.
2. You are objectified by another man or woman
3. You get labeled promiscuous, loose, dumb, easy, ignorant, a "jump-off", etc. by someone.
4. You wonder how dumb you looked or what silly stuff you did when you *somehow* got drunk off your @$$ with your girlfriends the night before and can't remember 67.3% of what happened that night
5. You hear a song with the unforgettable lyrics "I used to be scared of the dyck, now I throw lips to the shyt/Handle it like a real b&tch"
I could go on, but I am sure you get the point. I'm not HATIN', just STATIN'!

The TEN COMMANDMENTS
Shot out to L on this one.
Warning to Straitlaced Christians...You may not find this funny. Okay, you've been warned!

Slang Term of the Day (Not for virgin eyes/ears)
I couldn't help but crack the hell up when reading the snippet below of a blogpost my co-worker sent me. The title of the blogpost was "The 10 NFL Players Most Likely To Be Gay, Part I"
Donovan McNabb made #4 on the list and here's the justification.
"Every gay couple I’ve known (and I have known oceans of them) consists of a queen and a straight man. And McNabb takes that high, straight road so well. Why did TO dump him? I have a feeling McNabb’s dickdo had something to do with it. What’s a dickdo, you ask? Well, it’s when your belly sticks out further than your dickdo."
So with that said, the word for the day is dickdo (no johnnycakes). This is almost as funny as bootydo (also known as the Baltimore sixpack or the Bmore pouch among me and my friends).

AMAZING
This afternoon I watched an ESPN Classic re-broadcast of a Mike Tyson fight from years ago. Mike Tyson vs. Jesse Ferguson. It's been a minute since I've seen an old Tyson fight from the period when he was completely destroying people and this re-broadcast made me realize again just how amazing this guy was as a young fighter.
It's crazy how someone with his talent and ability can seemingly lose their mind and become what appears to be bipolar and psychotic. But anyway, here's some Tyson highlights. As you will soon see, this dude hits HARD!

Wedding Weekend (Part 4): Reception
The wedding was the most mild-mannered and traditional thing that took place on Saturday night. The reception. BANANAS! Now I've been in a few weddings and I've been to a few. Most receptions I've been to have a bar or an open bar. This reception was "dry" though so there was no alcohol being served or drank at the reception. At first, I must admit, I was a little disappointed in my man for not having the open bar. But the bride's father is a pastor and their a southern Christian family so I can respect his decision not to have alcoholic beverages being served.
The reception started with the entrance of the wedding party...
After we all waltz in, we got seated and had a very nice dinner. The roast beef, mashed potatoes, and green beans were BANGIN! I'm still thinking about that meal.
While eating, most of the guys noticed that the music was str8 old-school background music. Not conducive to the party-type reception we all wanted. However, after we ate, the Best Man and Matron of Honor (matron, right?) made their congratulatory speeches and then it was time for the dollar dance. This kinda got everyone off their feet to get up and dance with the bride (the guys) and the groom (the ladies). After the dollar dance, everyone in the wedding party was up on the dancefloor kinda standing around for a minute just looking kinda bored and stiff. But the DJ put on some southern creole song and all the natives in the room went off like Jay-Z just dropped "allow me to reintroduce myself" in that joint!
They kinda got the party started a little. But once that Lil Jon and E-40 joint came on (Snap Yo Fingaz) the party blasted off. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of the most fun I've had (sober) at a wedding reception, EVER! The Lil Jon and 40-water track got everybody dancing. Next up though was Lean Wit it Rock Wit It and this joint got everybody dancing. That dance was in full-effect among the wedding party. So much so, that we had a battle between the guys and the girls to see who could rock the dance the hardest. Picture this:
Ten guys, some grown men and some teens all in a line side-by-side leaning wit it and rockin wit it. And on the other side, ten girls, some women and some girls, all in a line side-by-side leaning wit it and rockin wit it. It was a str8 battle!
What made it great was that even the guys who don't normally do those dances (the groom and Wayne) both danced their a$$e$ off! Me, I was looking like an uncoordinated bama on the dancefloor as usual. LOL.
This dance-off ensued for one more song, It's Goin Down! And if you've been following my blog at all, you know how I feel about that song! So needless to say I was SICED! Don't laugh at me too hard about that one B-Mizzy!
After the Joc joint went off, the dancing pretty much stopped and I think we cut the cake after that and they threw the bouquet and garter. Naturally, most of us ducked out of the way and watched that garter fly into the hands of some over-zealous cat in the front of the group.
The reception ended with all the members of the wedding party (except the bride and groom) doing the "Goin ride the train" dance throughout the reception hall and eventually out the doors of the reception hall. So much random fun. It was GREAT!
The entire rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception was GREAT! I'm really happy for my homie and I hope they're having lots of fun on their honeymoon...Ain't that right Dane?
Since two of the groomsmen were engaged and Wayne just had a baby, the question of the weekend was, "Is Weezy next to get married?" Well, I'll let him give you the answer to that...
LMAO! Yeah, that's what I thought! LOL.
