Pursuit of Happiness Video

Cudi just released his video for Pursuit of Happiness so here it is. Surprisingly, Josh Hartnett produced the video and it came out really good. The song is dope as is it and the video compliments it well. I hate when video's don't relate to the lyrics of the song so fortunately this isn't the case.
Also, get the album if you don't already. I'm not an advocate for illegally downloading stuff but get it anyway you can.
Enjoy!

Are You Really Suprised About Shady Referees?

With all of the things that have come out recently about Tiger Woods, politicians, company share holders, etc., it doesn't really surprise me that an NBA referee comes out about gambling on games. You wanna know why?

BECAUSE REFEREES HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL GAMES

Power has been so overly abused within this decade that anyone with power that doesn't use it to their advantage should get a Nobel Peace Prize. The dishonesty just seems that common.

Many have used the phrase "If you're not cheating, you're not trying", when speaking about the various sports scandals that have come out (particularly steroid use) and this professional referee business is no different. As a whole, we may not be expecting this from the zebras on the court with whistles around their necks because we have entrusted them and their skill with making the game just. However, when these people (yes they are people just like you and I) come out and admit that they've been cheating on games once they get their hands caught in the cookie jar let's give them a hand for having a good run. They will get their consequences as they should and some time will blow over and we will catch someone else in the act. It's a vicious cycle that continually occurs in sports no matter who gets caught and how they are penalized, and it will never stop.

In my opinion, cheating happens all around us and it has evolved our society into what it has become. The person with the power will do whatever it takes to keep it and will not worry about who has to get crushed in the process. It's the American way!

Oh and please enjoy the video.
Thanks for hearing me out. Let me know what you think.

Leave Tiger Alone




So it's come out that Tiger Woods was creepin' on his wife and being dishonest and whatnot. And now it seems to be the biggest deal on tv everywhere. Now I know general society is dumbed down by the likes of the media and we seem to attach ourselves to every little story concerning people we will probably never know on a personal level, but come on.
Tiger has had to deal with so much criticism before anyone else even knew there were good black golfers out. Can't he be the one person that can make a mistake and not get shitted on?
I'm in no way saying what he did was acceptable but at the end of the day Eldrick "Tiger" Woods is human and just like you and I, he has made and will continue to make mistakes
Bottom line.. Let the man live his life and stop worrying about how his life will be affected (those are called consequences), because we will all forget about what has happened once he holds another huge trophy over his head.
Just some food for thought.
