Editors Letter: XXL Freshman 11
What's Good?
I know what you are saying right now.... "What the hell is XXL thinking?" Yes! Me too. Since I was a youngin' I believe there were only few magazines that celebrated hip-hop to it's capacity and XXL was surely one of them. I do not agree with majority of the starring cast on this cover. How are they selecting artist? What are the qualifications? For as long as I been writing for November's Child everyone who follows us (Thank You) knows I'm no hater. The very first thought that came to mind when I seen the cover was that there must be some type of payola for press or that labels are simply paying magazines with notoriety for features. Lil B, are you fucking kidding? last time I recall it said "Freshman of Hip-Hop". Alot of supporters of his music say its "entertaining" but the question I pose is, is it Rap/hip-hop?
Lil Twist is so irrelevant beyond measure. He is a 19 year old rapper who is marketed to 10 year old kids, who still don't know him. I understand he has one of the biggest engines behind him but what work has he done that has set him to a standard of promising. Meek Milli has had no soundwave success until his signing to Maybach Music Group which was less than a month ago which means you can make it as a XXL freshman in 3 weeks before press. I am not going to get into the careers of the rest of them but the only guys I endorse on this cover is... Kendrick Lamar, Big K.R.I.T., Yelawolf, Diggy, Mac Miller and a drop of Freddy. The rest in my predictions have to pull their weight up. On a side note Stalley definitely deserved a spot before most of those guys.

New Artist Alert: Nike Nando
What's Good?
Usually when an artist puts on for a certain place in the world another artist finds their way through. Washington D.C. was one of the most overlooked places for hip-hop talent and since the national recognition of Maybach Music's newly signed artist Wale, many artist have tried to monopolize on the opportunity to be seen while the spotlight is on the DMV. We have payed close attention to most of their note worthy MC's such as Philade, Gram, Justi,Tabbi Bonney and many more....but, today's most promising artist since their recognition has to be...Nike Nando.
The DMV artist may have been out for some time and surely paid his dues. Nando's talent has surely made its way to New York City and some of today's most popular blogs. Now with his 'Love Day' project hitting the internet sound waves Nike Nando surely has the potential to bring his hip-hop experience to new fans everywhere. I (@Lucky_Peters) surely co-sign this guy for a solid listen.
Love Day -Nike Nando

The Speech
In every moment of sports there is that defining moment, that speech that a coach or player may bring to their team to get them ready to finish a game for the ages.
Yesterday afternoon one of those moments came about as Coach Steve Lavin huddled his team in during a time out and spoke the words that brought the motivation to defeat (THEN) #4 Pittsburgh.
"Life will never get any better than this moment," the coach told them. "This is Madison Square Garden, you have this place electrified, you're playing with your best friends, and we're playing the No. 4 team in the country."
Though it might not have been a speech that won a championship game it separated Lavin from any other coach St. John's has had since Lou Carnesseca. He has the passion and brain to help this team and future Johnnies be the best...and beat the best...in the country.
Another Top 10
"You say upset, we say another regular win" is how Sean Evans put it on Friday when asked about beating Pittsburgh and thats what St. Johns did yesterday thanks to the heroic effort by Dwight Hardy in the final seconds of the game.
"He is the Big East Player of the Year in my mind. A run away at this point" said Coach Lavin about Dwight Hardy. He couldn't be any righter.
St. Johns fans go vote for Hardy as Capital One Cup Impact Performance of the Week..he definitely deserves it! http://es.pn/cv8bJm
Oh and forgot to mention...ST. JOHNS WILL BE RANKED IN THE TOP 25 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE NOVEMBER 28, 2000 THIS MONDAY!! WE ARE....ST. JOHNS!!!

St. John's Giant Slayers
The Johnnies or now, Giant Slayers, have proven they can win at home (8-3) they've proven they can win on the road (8-6), they have proven they can win Tournaments (Great Alaskan Shootout, Holiday Festival) and they have proven they can beat ranked opponents (4 wins verse top 25). Key phrase here ladies and gentlemen, THEY HAVE PROVEN.
Here is their resume so far:
Record: 16-9
Strength of Schedule: 2nd (IN THE NATION)
RPI: 17
Key Wins: Duke, UCONN, Georgetown, Notre Dame and Marquette. (I put Marquette as a key win because they are a very tough team, possible tournament bound team and it was on the road).
Key Losses: St. Bonaventure, Fordham.
Joe Lunardi, Mr. Bracketology, has St. Johns as the #7 seed in the tournament.
It's all there for The Johnnies. The numbers, the resume and the attention. The only question left to be answered is, can they finish strong?

Jimmer The Bust?
I was checking out 1st & 10 on ESPN 2 today and the topic of Jimmer Fredette and NBA came about. Skip Bayliss and guest of the day, John Ireland discussed this topic. What blew me away was what John said in his opening comments.
"If Jimmer Fredette was black we wouldn't be having this talk".
That raised a good question to me. Would fans of basketball and analyst say otherwise about Fredette if he were black?
Looking into a league where the majority of white players are from Europe the two note able guys that didn't pan out to the hype were Adam Morrison and J.J. Redick. Both players had tremendous college careers, Morrison at Gonzaga and Redick at Duke, but both never panned out being true TOP 10 picks. Morrison is a complete bust and Redick is a decent role players for the Magic. Will the same bold for Fredette?
I say if Jimmer goes to a team that DOESN'T expect him to carry them he can have quiet the career. I compared him to a Jason Terry type player. The sixth man who doesn't come in to give you defensive minutes but that comes in and sparks a flare for your team when the starters, who you really rely on to win the games, need a rest.
Mock drafts have Fredette as a top 20 pick just weeks after he was at best a second round pick. The kid has the talent to succeed but needs to go to a team that will not rely on him to be their star alone. A veteran team is his best suit. Not a young, up and coming team.
I really would like to hear the peoples opinion on race being a factor for Fredette. I kind of wish it wasn't and more his talent but if it's going to be about that I'd like to hear other peoples thoughts as well.
Comment here or hit me up on Twitter @TimmyD_WSJU.

No West Coast Love
HINT: He averages 22 points per game and 16 rebounds per game.
Still can't guess? Then here's the answer; Kevin Love.
Sure the guy plays on The Timberwolves but should that be a reason his stats and ability goes unnoticed? 43 double doubles in 48 games. I'm seriously baffled at how he did not make it. Other then Dwight Howard, Love is one of the only true centers left in the game.
I guess this is what happens when basketball becomes a popularity vote.

PRE-PLANNING: Valentine's Day 2011
What's Good?
Since I
have been dating my mother always assisted me on how to treat a woman and what
she would like to do as far as you courting her. Sometime the magic doesn’t
always happen on the first night and although you are filled with lust it is in
your best interest to let the night pass. Single awareness day also known as
Valentine’s Day comes with a lot of expectations especially as you get older.
You are more financially stable to where simple doesn’t always do it…sorry! I
hope many of you have an idea for what to do on V-day. Eating is always a major
necessity when catering to someone on this day. Whether you are you are a
master chef or simply going to a restaurant, ambiance is key. Finding somewhere
that is well lit and decorated according to its theme is the best first step to
making a good impression. For those that are new to New York or simply trying
to find something new, well look no further. I will be giving you some great
areas of interest to spend your Valentine’s Day!
First lets Start with some restaurants because that
should always be the first destination of the night. I strongly suggest that
you call some of these restaurants for your reservation so things go smoothly
at the door.
Sushi Samba has one
of the most chilled and relaxing environments in New York City when involving
dining. The bright colors set a 70's California vibe especially with the
music. My experience there was absolutely great along with the service. My Recommendation: The Eel
Nigiri as an appetizer and the Chicken Teriyaki ~ Samba
Style.
Sushi Samba
87 7th
avenue ,
New York,
n.y. 10014
212-691-7885
_______________________________________________________
Yama 49 is
still one of my favorite spots for dining because of its location and
service.The Sushi is always well prepared and the tempura does
wonders. Not to mention the prices are extremely fair. The ambiance gives you a
more intimate feeling because of the design and lighting. My Recommendation: King Crab Tempura & Spicy Tuna
Yama 49
308 E 49th St
(between 1st Ave & 2nd Ave)
New
York, NY 10017
(212) 355-3370
_________________________________________________________________________
Qi is a high scale Thai restaurant
with reasonable prices. Thai food is definitely up and coming because a lot of
people are stepping out of their boxes and trying new things. Thai is
absolutely incredible and if you haven't tried it yet please drop the
McDonald's go live a little. It's located in Union Square where the night can
end whenever.
My Recommendation: Sesame Crusted Salmon &Thai
Iced Tea
Qi Restaurant
31 W 14th St
New York, NY 10011
(212) 929-9917
________________________________________________
Red Rooster restaurant
is for those who cannot deny that soul satisfying southern flavor! The NEW
restaurant has been taking guest on a steady basis since their establishment in
the heart of Harlem. For all of my Green lovers, here is the spot. My
Recommendation: Crab Cakes for your appetizer & The Grilled
Snapper Tomato.
Red Rooster

Celsius Bar and restaurant is the only place to my
knowledge with a winter solstice setting. The Restaurant
is located in Bryant Park. Being that the restaurant is open seasonally it makes the restaurant that more special. The restaurant prepares American cuisine, so if
you want to play it safe and still get great taste this is your spot. My Recommendations: steamed shrimp dumplings as your appetizer and The Celsius Jumbo Sliders for dinner.

If you are 21 and older then your night can be a
little more fun. Finding a great bar with reasonable music and prices is so
hard to come by these days. Well, look no further, did you ever think you can
get mellow for 8 bucks well; we found a spot for you…
El Cantinero is a
very low-key Mexican restaurant and bar with a dance floor upstairs. This establishment is located in the Union Square area. They have a Margarita selection along with
other mixtures that out does Blockheads by far. Each Drink on the menu is
four bucks so it’s impossible to lose. I never had a complaint from anyone I brought
there to leisurely hang out.

Piano’s is a small bar in the
Lower East Side of Manhattan where there is live music on occasions and an
upstairs where they play themed music according to the day of the week. The
prices are fair and the vibe is energetic. The people there actually make you
want to dance.

Chocolate is and will always be a V-Day favorite...
There are many places to get chocolate but nothing
say’s "let me put my good foot forward" like Godiva.
Godiva has some of the best chocolate selections such as the dipped
strawberries, truffles and other assortments. A dozen dipped strawberries would
do it though!

Cake has always hit the dead center of anyone’s
sweat tooth since its creation. Black Hound’s
edible arrangements have just what you are looking for as well. Their
chocolate is consumed by the eyes and then by your mouth. Treating both senses the
same. The taste and satisfaction has been in business for 13 years so you can
imagine how many other people feel the same way.

After everything is set and done, picking an extra
curricular activity can vary on how intimate you are with the person. If this
person is your spouse well go home and get creative(can’t coach you on this
one), if not you can get a little closer with the person by making the
last trip a romantic one. Movies are for teens and easygoing people but
if you want to dig a little deeper, one of New York’s most romantic attractions
is Ice Skating whether it is Bryant Park or Rockefeller
Center. Ice-skating is something different and different is always good.
If you are not an avid skater this is a great idea. Taking the Roosevelt Island
ferry is one of my favorites. Even though the ride is about ten minutes the
scenic setting with city lights and the bridges is an everlasting memory.
