Lil Wayne CBS All Access Interview

Lil Wayne seems to be able to pull off and do anything these days, even an interview on CBS.  Here is a clip of Lil Wayne with an exclusive pre-grammy interview with Katie Couric.


Monthly Throwback!


I am going to start off a little tradition on the blog, and put up throwback tracks every month. The tracks will be from OLD SCHOOL hip hop to something not TOO recent that will just have you saying "damn, I remember when this hit."


This month's throwback is from one of the greatest groups to ever grace the name Hip-Hop. If you know hip-hop all I have to say is Midnight Marauders… Do you know what a Marauder is?? Be a Marauder of Music at midnight haha.
This is February's Post by the way.

Pensar (When Fashion Goes too Far)

What's Good?
AAHHH man check this out. This image troubles me very much. I'm wondering how fashion has gone too far. Yeezy is my boy and all but this dude is leaving question marks all over his head. Lately in the media he has said some things that has left all of his fans shaking their heads. I know fashion has taken a 360 to where your clothes is a sense of expression. but DAMN. Every guy looks Happier than the other in this photo. Listen, Man Purses ARE GAY i don't care about any sexual preference of my readers but some things are just not appropriate for a heterosexual male. I'm pretty sure Homosexual males would like to keep their swag to themselves since everyone exiles them in the anyway. Kanye first the horrible album which spoke nothing about this "depressive state" of mind you were in and now this horrible fashion statement you are making.

Pensar (who's To Blame)

What's Good?
Well Listen up to some terrifying news I have received. Ohio state University has put a social moratorium on seven historical African American sororities and fraternities. The university Officials stated that due to prior violent altercations, The University decided to suspend the Org's. The African American Greek lettered org's stood up in unity to resolve this situation bringing light to the truth by explaining that the reported altercation that was posted in a newsletter was absolutely false. The moratorium is now removed. I found this situation very intriguing because of the situation my line brothers and I are facing with keeping the legacy alive by expanding. When the African American Greek lettered organization were restrained with a dilemma they stood up for one another. The Org's at St. John's don't know how to put their differences aside to conquer one task. It's call Greek unity for a reason because when you stand together all your ideals can become reality. So whether or not if they are "Skaters", "CAT" or "Paper" you still have to treat the NHPC like a business. So today I declare that all African American Greek lettered Organizations to build a relationship with every Greek Lettered org..

Music Update

What's Good?
You already know the deal. Here go some music to add to your playlist.

Chris actually found some time to shake Rihanna off and work in the studio again. This song is pretty good, it reminds me of Just fine from his first self titled LP.
Marques Houston calls upon Mr. I'll make your remix a hit Loso to show how they would do it for you ladies. I guess this song is for you.
Juelz Santana Cruises on the beat. Seem like Skull Gang isn't doing too well so now he has to hit the drawing board and make it work for Juelz again.
Well if it isn't one of our favorite white boys. Justin Timberlake is making a comeback since his last successful album.
Bow Wow goes back to the old ways making the slow jam rap songs. Johnta Austin contributes as usual. I personally wouldn't buy a Bow Wow album but for those who do, I hope he delivers a good one for you guys.

LONG LIVE THE KING

What's Good?
I know this is random but since the Notorious movie is out,there has been a lot of emotions circulating in the air. Biggie was one of the most influential rappers of my time and the 90's. Biggie introduce me to hip hop when I moved to Brooklyn. I really listen and tried to acquire everything he brought to the game. I really get emotional sometimes when I sit back and reminisce. People don't understand the power of his music and how every song affected a county of people. He help people of Brooklyn develop a sense of pride that makes every Brooklynite standout amongst Stars.

Are You Black??


Are you Black?
Ask yourself that question..

If your answer is yes, why? What designates you as Black? Because your skin color is brown? or is your answer just I am Black thats what I am?

If you consider yourself black, you are most likely of African Descent. Therefore, if you are in America, you are an African American.
WHY are you called Black is what I am getting at. Why label yourself as Black?
(YES this applies for West Indian descent Too! lol)

We as African Americans were given the distinction as Blacks in times of slavery and inequality. We do have darker skin but we do not have black skin, just as Caucasians do not have white skin. So why were and are we called black?

Click this link to see the definition of black and scroll through all of the definitions past the basic definition: (read all the definitions)
Definition of Black
Now why would you want to be called black?
i.e. look up the definition of white also...

Nevertheless, we recognize ourselves as black and stand strong by empowering what it is to be black. But our culture, lifestyle, soul, love, strength, and wisdom whether African American or black is ours.

Just a thought... nothing more... not preachin'

Portrait Of A Woman


What's Good?
We Honor Tachina Arnold For this post of Portrait of A Woman. She is really beautiful and her face is timeless. She has been around for years and best known for her acting part in the television sitcom Martin as Gina's best friend. I used to be looking at the television when I used to hear how Martin Lawrence say she was ugly. I guess only me and Cole feel the same way. Her resume is pretty deep with many acting performances such as Drillbit Taylor, Preaching to The Choir and UPN sitcom Everybody hates Chris. I know she is probably over the limit but I'll still treat her like a lady.

Music Update

Giving you a few more tunes for the iTunes. Shout out to imeem.

Twista came with a hot track right here. He always comes with a few tracks that hit. This track is definitely on that intimate feel. It rocks though.
ummm..... Go In Time. Thats all I gotta say.
Watup Brooklyn and Watup Cali.

*** GOTTA CHECK THIS**












Both of these dudes are making a statement in the game right now. Young Chris is coming back on his solo tip collaborating with the up and coming Wale. Both ripped it to me, see what you think.
1 Love.

Service To All Mankind


Greeting,
When was the last time you gave back to the community? Financial contributions are nice but actually giving time out of your day is the true blessing. Mainly for my younger years, I gave back to my neighborhood by volunteering my services to make my environment a much more healthy place. H.E.L.P. USA has been the recipient of my service when trying to change the attitude of at risk youth. Now I'm a recipient of their service which they dedicated themselves to do since 1986. I would of never thought after graduating high school that I would attend one of New York's Great universities. H.E.L.P. USA has made that possible for me. I'm now a Junior at St. John's University. One day I will return to H.E.L.P. to keep their vision alive for many more decades. Homelessness and unemployment is rising due to the recession. Many people are losing their lives and H.E.L.P. is trying their best efforts to provide for those who have lost so much during these times. Homelessness not only affect adults, it also affects their children. Children can lose focus in school or not even become social with their peers which is absolutely abnormal for a child. You can make a difference by just volunteering a small portion of your by mentoring a child who is at risk. one a week can make a difference it surely worked for me. Check HELPUSA.ORG and see where you can give back....Every minute counts!

Music Update

Whats Good?
You already know the drill! Here go some new joints for Y'all, can't say I never gave y'all nothing.


The rap and R&B duo puts together another joint for the clubs. J.R. Rotem supplies the sounds to get the spring break hunnies up to speed when this track hits the sound waves in the Keys down in Florida. This is not one of the Duo's best work but it cut the standard.


Well for the most part this is a very uncommon blend but hey the song is pretty good. Guess he put Max B's salary to use by hiring R. Les to put the vocals on the track. This is the common follow up for a second single. Look out for Pray IV Reign coming soon!
Get ready to go back to school because Nas school's the listeners once again. This track sounds like it didn't quite make his latest project Untitled (N.I.G.G.E.R.), but its still dope. Do I hear a lost tapes part 2!

Ginuwine has returned! The Singer /Dancer has a pretty good catalogue of albums. Hopefully he will keep it that way. This is pretty good and reminiscent of the "Bachelor". He is also a D.C. Native. Shout out to the home of the GoGo.
Ginuwine- Even When I'm Madd

Portrait of A Woman


What's Good?
The entry of "Portrait of A Woman" is honoring award winning, Philanthropist and Loving Mother Taraji P. Henson. The D.C. Native born September 11Th, (No I wont tell the year, we'll keep her beauty ageless) has quite an impressive resume. She has won 6 acting awards and nominated for 15. I really feel this year she will win the biggest award (Academy Award) for supporting actress for her new film with Brad Pitt in The Curious case of Benjamin Button. I really like everything about this woman because she has the realistic beauty of a woman and not the fabricated magazine ideal woman every young boy fantasizes about. I really wish her many more years of success in her career and life.

Pensar (All By Yourself)


What's Good?
Damn, I had a real talk session with some real good friends of mine from college. We spoke about some real good things that was nerve pinching. One of my friends (Ms. Janeese Lewis) said I was bitter. It really struck a nerve with me but I loved it because it made me feel like I was almost misunderstood. Listen closely I' am far from bitter and neither am I in denial. Why when '09 is the year of the Lady. LOL! Lets get to the point of this post. Remember how Beyonce help start a revolution of independent woman which evolved into a mosh pit of bitter egotistical women. This woman help lead a rally and left everyone of her followers for dead. Honestly speaking Beyonce made woman have a resentment for men and now she is happy with a man leaving behind a bunch of disgruntle bitches with no guidance. Whoops she sent y'all up shits creek with no paddle. SORRY but, I find this completely hilarious how she now sings about a nigga's halo.

Where's The Love?


Whats Good?
.....Listen I don't know what has come over me but I will start my New Years properly. Check it one of my resolutions was to live life the way i wanted to and not how my counterparts want me too. This post is dedicated to those who obtain things differently than others. Yes! I may admit I was influenced by many people's thoughts on how Greek life is operated on an socially accepted scale. We are not going to get into the full aspects of things. For those who don't know ,well I' am a proud member The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. I have sat back and looked at how many FRIENDS I have shaded or shy'd away from because of my shallow expectations. When something is wrong it's wrong and there are ways to approach every situation. When the situation is not handled properly it leads to negative actions. When you back someone in a corner and constantly abuse them they will begin to fight back to where even a helping hands is portrayed as a trap for fools. I will not deny my participation in my feeling because they are my feeling, But as a FRIEND and not a fellow Greek person I apologize for not pulling you guys out of that corner. They knew like everyone else knew that to every action follows with a reaction. I just want things to be the way they are supposed to be ....Listening to Lupe , talking about all the crazy dunks and about a borough that we have bitter sweet relationship with. I will not carry the burdens of '08's decisions. Anything That happens in my Fraternity stays in my Fraternity so please lets stop the questioning because our business is not for your understanding!
Over and OWT

Lemme tell you the scenario....Every monday at O'neiil's in Queen they have a wing nite, where it is 20 wings for 5 dollars and you can have them in any sauce of your liking.

The Pursuit of....

What's Good?
Can I get deep with yall? Where is the center of your peace? Out here in this busy city life moves too fast, don't You agree? What brings you to a halt and slows you down from reality? Everyone wants to find their "Nirvana" in life. All the running we do in life we never actually sit down and ask ourselves where is my peace, my happiness, my center. We spend alot of time appeasing our audience so that we can be on a placatory ground. If there is something out of the ordinary that will give you your moment of peace then go for it. Trust me when I say this, "it help you find yourself when you sit down and find out what it is and practice it". Live free without worries for at least 8 out of the 168 hours in a week. I just felt like uplifting people because to much is going on in the world. Udeservtubeehappy. My little trip to St. Thomas....
