Friday Funny

I bet this will be in your head the rest of the day now, haha!

A Note in Treble

"I'm Beamin" feat. Lupe Fiasco --> Fiya! as usual..yes yes yes!...FEELIN IT!
Also worth mentioning, Lupe's climb with other to the top of Mt. KILIMANJARO



"Say Wassup" feat. Rhymefest & Phontigga--> Phonte on the vocals once again...smooth joint!...FEELIN IT!



"Private Garden" feat. Driis --> I personally think this song is just OK...produced by my favorite, 9th, of course (recognize the snare?). The real reason why I posted this is because you will never guess who is actually singing...click on the song link to find your surprise!



"Impatient" feat. The Kickdrums & Big Pooh --> I know after yall saw the name Big Pooh, you figured, "that's why he posted it"...partially yes, lol, but I also am definitely feelin' it a lil bit. Taps into my other side of music but I am keeping my posts to ones I believe my fam would feel.
 


"Next Time" feat. Common --> Smooth unreleased track from the 'Finding Forever' era of Common...FEELIN' IT!

You can't play here, boy....

Yes, I know I am little late on this.  Shout out to my homie, Sewit,for the article.

Going back in time to....2010?  Yeah, apparently someone has created a "Whites Only" basketball league.

Seriously...NO SERIOUSLY.

That someone is former professional wrestler, Don "Moose" Lewis. He claims that "fundamental basketball" in the NBA is being now overtaken by "street ball" mainly associated with "people of color." At least he used a socially accepted term...yeah...

So apparently this man hasn't heard of Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson ect.  I honestly do not want to respond much to the article but will reference this article in which some logic is simply put. I hope this sparks conversation on what reality we still live in here in the U.S. with President Obama...

So wrong, sad, so why did I laugh....

Sent by Cousin Angie! Good look lil homie!....This is really f'ed up by the way...

Hey there, Sugar Mama!

I read a very interesting article on NPR today entitled, "Sugar Mama's on the Rise."  And honestly was not surprised at all by what I read.  Definitely an empowering story for my strong beautiful women out there and even maybe good look for some of us men, lol.

There are now statistically more women with college degrees than there are men.  Women are now beginning to match just as well with the salary compensation and management positions.  I mean, what man wouldn't mind a woman taking care of him?  A man with a very strong ego...I think we all knew the answer to that.  I myself have a pretty strong ego but my pride doesn't carry me nor should carry the relationships we are in.  I know for a fact if I were to be in that situation, I'd have no problem with it.

Anyway, I don't really want to say too much about the article.  If you want to take the time, give it a read and form an opinion...peace!

RIP Teddy & To those fallen in the Haitian nation

Man, already a crazy beginning to 2009 2010.  In the past few years we have lost many iconic music legends.  Let's make sure we continue the preservation of the music as the baby boomer era is now being laid to rest. 
Rest in Peace, Teddy Pendergrass Sr., March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010.




Hot mix of hip hop samples and originals:

Still givin' ya new feelin'

"Give In" feat. Darien Brockington and Phontigga --> thought this was a really well produced song, lyrically strong as well. Produced by none other than the infamous Nicolay of The Foreign Exchange ,  4hero ( I have no doubt that Nicolay had some influence on this one though)...DEF FEELIN IT! (4hero has some pretty good production if you have a chance to check 'em out) ... alternate link



"Don't Try to Call Her" feat. Ryan Leslie --> Mr. Leslie continues to bring the heat with his song writing and producing! This song definitely hit me a little. Should of heard this song several months ago, lol.



Wanted to post this song that is also produced by Mr. Leslie. I just think it is a great song!



I promise you will not go wrong with this mixtape if you enjoy good production and lyrics. Elzhi's "The Preface" is a heavily slept-on, phenomenally produced and written album.  I would even go as far to argue that it is a CLASSIC!



Georgia Anne Muldrow "Endure EthNick Remix (prod. Nick Tha 1Da)" -->Had to add this last one. Remixed by the one and only Nick the 1da...Represent homie, I see you...LET'S GET IT!!!



"Goodbye" feat. Wale & Jean Grae --> One of my favorite joints off the Back to the Feature mixtape. It was hot on the market about two years ago. 9th is always sampling that timeless music!



"Decline" feat. Chiddy Bang --> this song is off of the Swelly Express mixtape. I was actually caught off guard and almost didnt download a few months back, so glad I did...it is a well put together mixtape, very impressive..they have been in the game for minute.

Yes, preach!!

Yall know he right, i talk about this all the time, lol....

Some of my news updates...

Fox news adds their Auntie to the family; right where she belongs.

 Alright, Utah!  Their first African American woman, mayor! Congratulations Mayor Love!!

 There is some good in the world!  Former gang members are increasingly helping and working with police around the nation to help clean up the streets.

 Looks like my 804 is finally starting to clean themselves up.  I remember the last couple years of high school and my first year of college of the all the people my age being shot and murdered it was crazy...RIP my people... Proud of my city!

Raparations

Been on the grind this first week of the new year's family so not too much time to blog but this gave me a chuckle:

Monday Motivation

PGA's person of the year passes

The professional golf world mourns the passing of William Powell, the first African American to build, own and operate a golf course.  He passed away New Year's eve.

Mr. Woods has Mr. Powell to thank for opening that door of opportunity for him to become the greatest golf player and arguably the greatest athlete in the world.

Tiger did not want to fully admit that he is African American but I am sure he has had a pretty good reminder for the recent media events that have unfolded.

Mr. Powell thanks for working those long painful hours to take care of your family and opening up that golf course.  You made your vision and dreams a reality and helped to make other's dreams and goal a reality as well.
