Kanye West - Through the Wire
Brings me back to my 9th/10th grade days. I will forever love the College Dropout.
Look among the people that surround you everyday, listen to what they talk about and see if this plays out to be true. For the most part, from my experience this is definitely true. Don't get caught up being small minded by just talking about other people, people who tend to talk about other people are the ones who are usually unsatisfied with their own lives.

Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack
Letting all the people know, that I'm back to run the show. Old school jams all day today.
Today's Game Predictions...
I'm sitting pretty in first place in both of the bracket pools that I'm in (which never happens) and if Kansas loses then I'm going on a killing spree. Actually thats not entirely true because the only bracket that can beat me has UConn going to the championship game, so if that happens then i'm going on a killing spree.
"Brittney Griner Has Bigger Hands than Lebron James"
After watching this video, I'm still not convinced that Brittney Griner is 100% female, but God damn do I love ESPN Sports Science.

Pray for Japan
As I'm sure you all already know there has been some some crazy shit goin down in Japan for the past 2 weeks. It is estimated that it will take 310 billion dollars to rebuild Japan. Even though people "know" what's going on, sometimes I don't think people "understand" or realize how much of a crisis Japan is facing at the moment with the complete devastation of infrastructure, a nuclear emergency, and a death toll exceeding 10,000 (and thats reported deaths).
Imagine that you were sitting in your living room watching your routine TV show or at a bar watching a game in the NCAA tournament and all of a sudden on the bottom of the screen there's an emergency banner that notifies everyone that there has been an earthquake 80 miles off shore and that everyone has 40 mins to evacuate because theres a tsunami coming (let's we not forget the waves seen in Japan were high enough to surpass four story buildings.) Imagine how scary of an idea that is, of trying to get a hold of everyone you love, grabbing everything thats important to you and getting the fuck out of there. Imagine the mass pandemonium going down with everyone stopping at gas stations and pumping full tanks so they can escape..would people fight over gas? would you be willing to wait in line at a gas station for 20 mins to get gas? would there even be people working the gas stations?
In addition to the utter devastation caused by the earthquake and the tsunami itself (towns completely wiped off the map), they continue to face the issue of a nuclear crisis with one of reactor cores leaking radio active material. I'm not sure if anyone knows how serious it is but Japan continues to urge more evacuations due to dangerously high levels of radiation (aka down the road cancer).
All in all, this whole ordeal continues to make me realize how you should be grateful for everything you have (family & friends, your healtlh, material possessions, luxuries of a power and clean running water) because you never know what tomorrow brings, whether its going to be great or devastating.

Today Is National Biggie Day...Spread Love It's The Brooklyn Way.
Biggie was a legend in his own time. I've never put on a Biggie track and had a bad time, never. Crazy to think what it would be like, where the direction of hip hop music would have gone if he was still alive. Don't get me wrong, good music is still being made today, but you gotta love and appreciate some old school hip hop. Biggie revolutionized hip hop and will always be remembered for his lyrical flows and effortless swag.

Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do For Love (DZ remix)
This is a remix (an incredible remix) of a 1978 hit single "What You Won't Do For Love". Although you'll hear that Bobby Caldwell sounds like a black jazz artist, but he actually has the title of: "The white guy most often mistaken for an African American vocalist", dudes got some soul. The magic happens at about 1:50 into the song. Love this shit, definitely my Sunday Jam.

Roots Picnic 2011..Good Weather, Good Music, Good People, L's..What More Could You Ask For?
Went last year, it got pretty crazy with the combination of us crushing beers (figuratively & litterally) in the parking lot and the fact that we were cooking under the sun because it was about 100 degrees out. The event goes from about noon until around midnight and takes place on the festival pier at Penn's Landing. I think I spent like 45 dollars on food within 20 mins. Word of advice: BRING WATER because they'll rape you for a bottle of water, something crazy like 4 bucks for a bottle. See you there.

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand
A lot of good people in this video (A-trak, Armand Van Helden, Santogold, Pharell, Yelawolf, Wocka Flocka, Diplo, Kanye,The Legendary Roots Crew, Chromeo, Biz Markie). Although I'm gunna have to admit this song is completely pointless haha. I can definitely hear this in a commercial though.

Charlie Sheen: Interesting Interview To Say None The Least
I wanna start out by saying that Charlie Sheen is the fucking man. Until earlier, I've seen bits and pieces of this but never sat down to watch the entire interview. 5 minutes and 33 seconds later...
For starters interview is filled with plenty of epic one liners. I love how everyones blowing it out of proportion and being all judgmental saying, "omg this guys crazy, he doesn't know what he's talking about, hes bi-polar". Guess what? He's just a guy who happens to be a celebrity, who happens to move at one speed, who happens to use lots and lots of elicit drugs (this isn't new). This an example of mainstream media creating a pseudo-event by exploiting peoples' personal problems and making it news = Infotainment, instead of focusing on REAL world problems. Although some of the things he says would categorize him as a maniac, I respect his attitude towards the fact that he's honest and that he doesn't blame the reasoning for his drug use on anyone. Obviously almost all would agree that he's not a good role model by any means, but clearly I don't think that's on his agenda nor does he care what everyone thinks of him. Charlie Sheen..Do you.
