Imma Be
I'm not really a Black Eyed Peas fan but this song is dope. Will.I.Am steps his producer game up by changing the beat about ever 32 bars. More producers need to add this kind of creativity in their songs. Enjoy
New Game .... Well Sort Of
This is a trailer for Dj Hero coming out for all systems sometime in the future. If you were into the guitar hero's of the past you'll probably like this too. Enjoy

A Must Read
If you happen to be interested in the entertainment industry and want to learn ways to be successful in a business environment regardless if its music, television, etc. then I recommend this book. Exec. VP of Warner Music Group, Kevin Liles, breaks down what it takes to be business savvy no matter where you come from and provides a blueprint for success for all ages. It's a really easy read and the different stories about his experiences from being an intern to the president of Def Jam keep you interested.
If you don't read regularly you might as well start now with this book.

Iron Mike Finally Graces Fight Night 4
It's been a long time since Mike Tyson has been in a video game knocing out boxers from left to right. And I have been waiting so long for the good people at EA Sports to come around and put him in a game. That day will soon come this summer and we will all be able to relive the days when Mike Tyson killed fools before the 2nd round started.

Something that Urkes Me
While I was watching Lebron getting his MVP award he began to thank all his people for all they've done and saying all the usual things you expect someone to say when they win an award. Then he starts to talk about his high school coach and he says that because of his coach, he was able to make a complete 360 degree turn.
This is where the frustration starts for me.
When people talk about stuff they've gone through and experiences that have changed their lives, so many people are quick to say that they've made a complete 360 degree turn. But no you haven't. If you change the direction that you initially started in and are going in the opposite direction, you've just made a 180 degree turn.
Even though I'm sure Lebron could have still probably got MVP without his coach, don't say things would be different and say you've made a complete 360 turn.
Smarten up and don't dumb us down.

New Yeezy's on the Way
The new Nike Air Yeezy's hit all shelves tomorrow (May 2) and will be released at select stores. Unfortunately, because I live in Tucson, AZ there is nowhere for me to purchase these limited edition sneakers. It's all good though because to be honest with you, I don't have the money to get them even if I wanted but they are just so clean that anyone that's interested and has the money should definetely do it. I predict the shoes to only be around for the first few hours of store openings so in a way they're taking the place of retro Jordans. Anyway, its a fly shoe but it costs a lot so spend at your own will.

Jay-Z is the REALEST
Sorry for taking a while since my last post. I was just trying to get everything situated for the jay-z concert and i finally did. The concert was crazy and jay-z exceeded all expectations. Much love to everybody that put the concert together especially Charles Wollin from the 415. You turned nothing into something and you made it all possible for us. Thanks a ton for that. I have always been a fan of jay-z's but the concert somehow put me past a level of admiration I didn't think was possible.
Jay-Z > Anybody else in hip-hop

A Blogger's Bitterness (Read at your own discretion)
One day I was helping my friend, Dante, clean his garage out before a move, I didn’t have a problem giving him a hand to make the process go a little faster.
Not too long into our work, Dante’s aunt came by with her daughter. When she went into the house to speak with Dante’s father, her 10-year-old decided to stay in the garage with us guys. She did what every 10-year-old does with anyone that’s older, annoy them.
As Dante and I were cleaning away, I came across a VCR that looked in fairly good condition in a box with VHS tapes. I looked at Dante and held up the VCR to get an idea of whether he would keep it. As I stood holding the VCR in my hand waiting for Dante‘s response, I heard one of the most frightening questions that I would ever expect to hear from a child.
“What is that?”
I couldn’t believe my ears and then the fear of realizing my age seemed to creep around the corner.
I tell this story in order to help some illustrate blogging, the newest and fastest way for communication about news. Some people oppose the idea.
As an avid blogger myself, I have one thing to say to all of you blogging oppressors: Wake Up!
It’s a new era. Even though blogging may be new to you, there isn’t any reason to feel that it’s not real journalism. Many of you who miss your newspaper being thick enough to break windows like a scene from “Leave it to Beaver” may feel as though there isn’t anything good that comes from blogging. You may believe it has no substance and is a waste of time, suitable only for kids with no journalism future.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Understand that blogging is simply a way for people to express their views on different topics without writing a letter to the editor and receiving no reply. It’s also a good opportunity to have conversations on topics that are rarely brought up in magazines and newspapers. Above all, blogging gives a voice to every person who would otherwise be silenced by those who feel differently.
The idea of blogging being something that anyone can do may seem foreign, and I have to agree. Who would have thought that one day we would watch movies on discs or that someday cars would have automatic navigation systems? Even though we didn’t expect it, doesn’t mean that we can’t accept it for what it can be once it’s here.
As I stood in the garage and stared at the girl who asked me what a VCR is, I quickly realized that technology has grown significantly every year. It isn’t little Amanda’s fault that the use of VCRs today are as common as tape players in the newest line of automobiles.
I must admit, however, that I still feel some sense of agony that I feel when running her question back through my head.
