Miss me?

Simply because it's been so long since a proper update, I figured I'd come outta left field with this. I'd give details, but their internet game is sick and I don't want this post deleted. Here's the vid of their first single.



So yeah it's not for everyone. It might make you consider 'shrooming with liberal hippy white friends. Might not. Either way, I'm a fan. And oh yeah, click the album cover to download.

It's been a week, I know. I'm extra busy right now, but enjoy this.

Eugenics

Shame on you if you've never seen this. It is a classic youtube video. I'm only posting it because a few of my students this year remind me of this dude (sadly).

There are adults like this who procreate with one another and create children like this. I've met these adults and I (try to) teach their kids.

I wish I were lying.

No that's not pilates, her body just thick.

Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

So yeah, I knew about the "If I Were A Boy" video early cuz it was shot at Casa Frela. This one, however, snuck up on me on Vh1 Soul last night. And when I say "snuck up," I mean I don't think I blinked during the entire 3 minutes and 19 seconds for fear that I would miss something. Cot durn...

How many boyz [go] raw?

Your girl is preggers. Ain't that about some...

Mrs. Officer

Beyonce - If I Were A Boy

If yall didn't catch the subtle reference, parts of this video were shot at Casa Frela in Harlem, which is where yours truly will be hosting The Paxtons' party November 14th. BTDubbs, the video is decent. Disfruta.

Chickens come home to roost

Surprise, surprise! Caught this last night on Keith Olberman. (Yeah, I spend my Friday nights watching cable news.) After realizing that he had no message, John McCain's smear campaign against Obama has come back to bite him. Twice in the same town hall, he was forced to play the role of gentleman and personally put the lid on the bigoted rhetoric his campaign has been dishing out. Obama's an arab and white people should be scared of a President Obama? Nigga please.

Despite what the talking heads on TV are saying, I think McCain's public disavowal here of what his wife and Sarah Palin have been propagating is genuine. I'm not so cynical as to think McCain only did that to look like a gentleman-politician. At the end of the day, McCain is a decent white guy and I'm sure he probably didn't like the idea of running such a dirty campaign through the next month. Nonetheless, the fact that this happened in front of TV cameras (twice) during his supposed preferred format, a town hall, is the sweetest of ironies. You reap what you sow.

NBC interviewed the senile "Obama is an arab" woman here:



And oh, I almost forgot about the Palin Troopergate Report that came out yesterday too:

On my late night

Uncle Murda ft. Jay-Z - ________________? [Radio Rip]

Song has no title (yet), but Hov takes a swipe at Fat Joe and the beat is niiiiiiice. It feels good to hear Jay take shots at niggas again.

Edit: It's 6-7 years old. No wonder.

Swiss Cheese

Not sure what they're doing over at Sony, but for all the internet bullying they did in getting two of my posts deleted, you'd think they'd do better than to let Mr. Green Light's album leak 2.5 weeks before it's official release date. I mean durn, even Jazmine Sullivan's album didn't hit the web til a few days before its official release. Oh well, guess that's karma. Sorry Johnny, but I'm givin it up for free.99. Click the album cover to download.

Eat It

Wierd Al Yankovich - Whatever You Like

Weird Al's got a new album coming out too. This obviously parodies the T.I. track of the same name. It's funny and appropriate for the times. I only wish he used autotune.

Percy goes Dutch

Entered the internet on Tuesday. In stores next Tuesday. For free today. Click the album cover to download. It's yours.

And it's a .tar file, so before I get asked how to open it, get this. Mac users google ".tar extractor".

Casa Frela

Beyonce - If I Were A Boy

Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

New album next month. First video's been shot already. Heard it was somewhere in Harlem...

Jazzy Belle

Jazmine Sullivan - Bust Your Windows

Sorry for the lack of updates. Niggas is busy. Watch the video.

Thank You, Dolemite Jenkins

I'm always filled with about 3 seconds of ambivalence whenever the 'Skins play the Eagles, only cuz I live in Philly now. Nevertheless, the Hog-head within always prevails, as did my boys! Coming back from 14-0 to win 23-17? YEAH BUDDY! That NFC East is not a game. And with the next few games against the sucky Rams and Browns, and then at Detroit, my boys might be 7-1 by the time they hit FedEx Field again versus Pittsburgh. I'm not calling Super Bowl, this division is way too tough for that, but cot durn if they haven't made a DMV'er like myself happy Sunday after Sunday.

Zorn = NFL Obama. HIP HIP! HOORAY!

I'll bite

Above The Rim

John Legend - "It's Over" ft. Kanye West (Produced by The Neptunes)

This won't last long. Blogger deleted the post I put up of his jawn with Estelle. Like I said, his team at Sony are internet bullies. Whatever's clever; get it while you can.

Those trumpets from SWV's "Anything" reminded me just how good the original was. Pharrell's version is good, but SWV kilt that jawn.

Yeah, baby, yeah!

You can read. I can't make it back to the Lou for this, but all you midwesterners have a concert (with free drinks) you can go to next Tuesday night. October's great.

Indian Summer

I used to hate October as a shorty because it meant I had to wait a month before my birthday and it was a dead zone for sports. Baseball just ended, Basketball was a month away, and the NFL was only 4 weeks in, which we all know is no indicator of postseason play. I know... in New York, Cleveland, Atlanta, baseball ran right up to the season openers for the the Knicks, Indians & Braves, but not in Chicago. Save for the man-god that is/was Michael Jordan and his supporting motley crews, Chi-town sports wasn't hittin on shit.

The Cleveland Indians threw salt on my childhood every year, with the exception of Bo Jackson's 3-run bomb in '93 that led us to the slaughter against Joe Carter's Blue Jays and the strike-shortened 1994 campaign that had us in first place before the doors closed. Everybody knew it... they even made movies about them niggas (see Major League)Truth be told, for about 5 years Cleveland had the most gangsta starting 9 in the entire sport. Worst part is, them niggas never capitalized and brought back any hardware.

2000 gave me hope as the White Sox turned into the "South Side Hitmen" once more, setting all types of records for home runs and rbis, but alas, we were felled by poor pitching and got banged on by Seattle's last good lineup. Then came the World Series in '05 after which my daddy cried on the phone. [We love this game]


Last night, the southsiders who led the central division until last week (due to a horrendous September), had to win a winner-take-all one game playoff against the Minnesota Twins to determine who was going to see October. Ironically, it would be former Cleveland Whitesoxkillers DH, Jim Thome who put the proverbial nail in the coffin with this one-run blast in the 7th.



Anybody that knows me knows, this month-long pennant race has been hell on my nerves but please believe I slept good last night. Next stop, Tampa. Holla Chad.
