Part 2s

Since Maybach Music II dropped, I took some time sit back and think about some of my favorite songs, and maybe you all's, that I would like to see have a sequel. So here goes my list along with some themes.

Grammy Family
*Kanye and Cons did a great job, but with Common proving his growth as a artist, a second go would be extremely dope

Full Effect
*Many might not remember this track from Freeway and Young Gunz off Free's first album, but with Young Chris hitting the scene hard and Beans out, maybe a second effort can emerge that gutta Philly shit we all loved and still have love for

The Cool
*This one is a bit far being that Lupe Fiasco already had The Coolest and a album titled "the Cool", but I would like to Michael brought back from the dead again and confront the Streets and the Game. No chorus (well maybe, the chorus is actually dope), but all out story telling. Shit would be too ill. Don't you agree? The song would have to be 10mins long, and being on repeat 6 times would be the dopest hour.

A Milli
*Yes, this song has been remixed numerous times, but I would like to hear the beat chopped a little and see Wayne attack it on some super duper lyrical ish.

One Love
*The imagery in this song was so ill, I got OD excited when I saw the Shorty Doo Wop scene in Belly. I could really see Jerome's niece getting shot in the dome piece while walking from the beach. I think Nas should knock out another one being that the times are a lot more crazier now. Perhaps a older Shorty Doo Wop??

I'm Not You
*The Clipse along with Jada, Styles, and Rosco P. Coldchain was one of the first tracks that seperated rappers. Each verse, besides Coldchain's, sort of delivered a different message as to what type of rapper each person was. I think since the Clipse is pretty much respected by everyone in the game, a sequel with each type of artist in hip hop now would be dope. I know I'm pushing it, but I would like to see Wale, Lupe, and Jadakiss again on the track.

Da Rockwilder
*I love this song, I want the same beat, just a new and more raw Red and Meth...pause

Artistic Integrity
*Rumored to happen, but I would like to see Wale prove critics wrong with pure thought and talent. I know he won't let me or the DMV down

I know there are a lot more songs that I could have listed, but these songs have been on my sequel list for a while. If you have any, please comment.

The Fake Jordan Swindle

Came across this today. I know there are people out there who can't afford the real thing, but I still have a HUGE ammount of dislike for anything not authentic. There's a couple real jams in here, but just take a look at the rest...smh.

Cody Harris

Cody Harris is a 21-year old out of Jamestown, California. He's responsible for some sneakers that are in demand, but won't drop due to them being photo shopped. His vision for some of these sneakers are OD. Nike needs to put him on ftw!!!





We got the eggplant foams already (I would love to have the white Nike check on mine), and the Columbia's are rumored to be releasing in May. Pearl 1/2 Cents would be slam.

J. Cole, Colin Munroe, and Wale w/UCB April 9th, at the National Recap

SHHO and ATE Clothing sponsered Wale's ADD Tour this past Thursday, and I must say that I was highly impressed. The show featured J. Cole, Colin Munroe, and of course Wale w/ UCB.

I got a chance to do interviews with J. Cole and UCB's Juice bka Slump. SHHO held me down with VIP and a backstage pass. VIP wasn't too poppin, so I chilled backstage and front row recording footage. Now on to details...

Wale did his thing as usaul. Having UCB play his songs live and Tre singing on the hooks emerges a crazy show. I don't think I would've stayed if it was just him and a DJ on stage for the amount of time he slammed out. I got a chance to meet some of the people from realmangjuice.com (King, Ravi, and Jay Promo whud up!!!). I found it extremely dope that Wale and UCB took the crowd back to old school Go-Go, and Slump made a serious statement with his solo.

J. Cole had a short set, but his flow and delivery had the crowd's attention. Roc Nation is a good place for him. I think dude has crazy potential. Shout outs to his team too, the passed on some advice that was helpful.

Colin Munroe shocked me the most out of all the performers. I never heard of him before, so I wasn't really looking to see him perform. Son is talented though. He played the drums and keyboard while he sang. Like Cole, his set was short, but it was felt.

All in all, it was a great show. Below are videos of Slump and Colin. Yall should check the two out after these...

A Letter to the Kid

Dear Yah Yah,
I don't believe in doing stuff like this, but since you don't like answering the phone, I felt like it was needed.
It's been forever since we were in the front of the house talking about how we were going to be Professional basketball players. Shooting on our crooked rim, or sneaking to play on someone else's because ours was too bent. I will admit it's hard for me to watch you play because of two reasons;1) I wish I was in the position you're in, and 2) I'm still in shock that you have gained the success that we worked so hard for. When the asian dude dunked on you when you were in 8th grade, I didn't hype it to make you look bad, I hyped it so it will never happen again. That also ties in to all the yelling and scolding I did. I only did all of that to make you better. I'm glad to see it worked.

Watching you and your team mates lose the other night was hard for me, but I was somewhat glad. Now you know what you have to do to get back to the same spot. It won't be easy Kid, but I know you can do it. Like I always told you, God doesn't give anyone more talent or success than anyone else. It all boils down to hard work and dedication. I want you to look at next year as a challenge and do everything in your power to get back to the level of success you reached this year. Set goals for yourself. Tell yourself ACC rookie of the year wasn't good enough. Don't settle for that, aim for more.

At the end of next year, I want to see the emotions like the ones in the pictures above.

Like I always tell you. You're not a basketball player anymore, you're a business. It's time to take care it.

Love you Slams

OG's to Old Sneakers

Brand Jordan is releasing retroes of OG's that most 'sneaker heads' are dying to get their hands on. IMO, these will be the two that will fall under a gang of hype. Hope you get your pair(s).

Yo...What's up B, How you Feelin, What's Going on, Let's Bounce Son

This is funny to me. I swear this was at least every body's crew when they were younger. Espescially the white kid who wanted to fit in. Homie ji like went in on the freestyle slam too...

Are You Still Going to Wear Your Nationals Fitted?

Last week, I was in the room checking my daily blogs, and the homie Cup(his highly anticipated blog is on the way) came through to holla at me about something. He just came back from walgreens, and he asked if I wanted to see something funny. He picked up my red nationals fitted(I love it) and put it next to his walgreens plastic bag. I never noticed how similar the logos were. Right away I researched if owners of Walgreens owned the Washington Nationals. I didn't find any strings attached, so the fact that it almost looks like Walgreens has a $31.99 look-a-like fitted going around the DMV kind of bugged me out. Then I came to the conclusion that I'm still going to wear mine. Walgreens or not. Are you?

I Apologize

There is a huge rivalry between Duke and UNC. Since 9th grade all of my friends have been riding for UNC, and I been vouching for Duke. I'm a big supporter of good structured basketball and both programs are very structured. If you were to ask me who I want to win between the two when they play, I'm going to say Duke. Buy if I'm in my room, and North Carolina is playing...I WANT THEM TO WIN!!!! Tywan Lawson is a problem, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green kills, and Ed Davis is a monster on defense. I refuse to vouch for Hansbrough (if thats how you spell his name). So YES, I am a North Carolina fan. Sorry to all my Duke fans and supporters, UNC just plays great basketball. I know I'm going to catch some heat for this, but like Peedi Crakk said..."Oh Well"

And look how Danny Green gets down before games
