Where You At: Hurricane Chris

With songs like "Ay Bay Bay" and "Halle Berry (She's Fine)",

You would think a comeback is immanent.

Judging by these pics tho,

looks like he has come to grips with the times,

and got rid of that hurr of his.

An album WAS supposed to drop in December 2010,

BUT

it didn't....

Problems?!

Whenever you think you got it bad,

just know,

there is someone ELSE,

worse off then you.

fyi.

I hope it works out for ya...

Niggas ain't even made it to the finals good,

and already getting Larry O'Brien tats and shit..

(cues up intro to Notorious BIG Feat. 50 Cent - Realest Niggas)

I know..

Yes,

I know.

I do be trippin...

Click-it or ticket deez

Whoever idea it was to institute the seatbelt law,

fuck him,

and EVERYONE in their household.

I've gotten caught up like that 3 DAMN TIMES!!

Stay the fuck out of my car cop!

And it be the MOST ANNOYING FINE IN THE WORLD!

$15 bucks?!

Really dude?!

You riding along,

minding ya business,

comfortable,

and then Officer Wiggum wanna interfere.

Eff you AND that damn ticket!

I told ya'll

Like I told ya'll...

...it was ok

Relief

Sometimes,

you just gotta squeeze it out...

Equal Opportunity Cartoons

Upon review,

I gotta give props to Nickelodeon.

I didn't notice this when I was younger,

BUT

if they had a cartoon that was based on humans,

they STAYED with an active BLACK character.

Like Skeeter Valentine.

Even though he was blue (or depending on your contrast, green),

folks were aware that he was black.

Then there was Gerald Johanssen from Hey Arnold!

I mean,

you could TELL he was black,

as hale,

considering the OBVIOUS,

and that box-fade my man's was rockin.

Rugrats even caught on when they introduced Susie.

Granted,

the child DOES look like a pickaninny,

but hey,

we were STILL represented.

Let's not forget shows like All That (which spawned Kenan & Kel), My Brother & Me, Roundhouse, and even Gullah Gullah Island.

It almost seemed like during the 90s,

Nick must've been an advocate for affirmative action or something.

These days,

hell,

I think we're lucky if we get an appearance.

I mean,

I recall that True Jackson show,

BUT

didn't it get cancelled?

Most of the time the sequel sucks

Wale was right,

even though he was talkin about relationships.

With the upcoming release of The Hangover 2,

I'm wary of the actual COMEDY in the film.

The Hangover was such a GREAT film due to location, plot, and cast.

Everyone that has been to Vegas or heard about Vegas KNOWS the stories and how crazy it can get.

So the original film was an INSTANT classic.

What happens next is something quite bittersweet.

The fans want more.

This isn't a BAD thing,

per se,

just one of those "how do you make something great, better?!"

Don't get me wrong.

Films like Rush Hour, House Party, and Friday had some funny ass sequels,

BUT

they just were NOT the original.

Comedy sequels have a tendency to reach into the dumb funny genre instead of focusing more on what actually made the first one sooooooo good.

I use the example of Nutty Professor: The Klumps.

It was funny,

BUT

it was DUMB funny.

Like,

dumb as HALE funny.

I got a frat brother that brought up Scary Movie 2.

This is an inconsistent point because that franchise is SUPPOSED to be dumb.

Don't get me wrong.

I DO plan on seeing Hangover 2.

I DO plan on laughing at some point during the Hangover 2.

Yet,

based on the current previews,

it's DEFINITELY gonna be dumb funny.

It's like my man Brandon said about his play and a potential sequel,

"The original is for the artist. The sequel is for the fans."

Shaq has sleep apnea

Honestly,

anything Shaq does,

is funny.

EVEN him having a medical condition.

Oh yea,

Hoopz is STILL bad,

EVEN IF she has an attraction for bears.

Then again,

it WOULD be fun to do stuff like this tho...

Oooh Nooooooo!

It was reported earlier today that the wrestling legend "Macho Man" Randy Savage has went on to glory.

RIP.

Swag? Really Sean?

I'm a fan of some good, old-fashioned cooning as much as the next guy,

BUT

Sean REALLY over does it sometimes.

This is documented proof.

The fact that he is callin himself "Swag",

and for a week?!

I'm done.

Oh, and Ray-J does NOT help,

at all.

Detroit Red cleaned up!

Shoutout to Malcolm Little aka Detroit Red aka El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz aka Malcolm X!!

Even though many folks bring up Martin in discussions of civl rights and black folks moving forward,

Bro. Malcolm was also a STRONG force.

I can't front.

The man WAS bad and he had some REAL power to him too.

Yet,

according to the world,

Kanye said it best,

"No one man should have all that power.."

And with that,

I have to show respect.

The 19th day of the month of May being his day of birth.

RIP.

Was it THAT serious?

Is roadrunner meat really THAT good?

Or

Was that the ONLY thing available around to eat?

Either way,

the lengths that Wile E. Coyote went to for ONE bird were quite ridiculous.

I mean,

all that cliff diving,

getting blown up,

and wasted money on Acme products?!

Good grief.

Foreal,

he must've had some DEEP pockets or SOMETHING cuz he STAYED with an Acme gadget.

They must've had a buyers club or something.

Even in this pic,

the bird doesn't look THAT meaty or fulfilling.

Shit,

with ALL that money he was droppin,

he shoulda just found a ride to the city,

and got a bucket.

I'm JUST sayin....

Jamie Valentine, again.

It may have been brief,

BUT

I exchanged words with Jamie Valentine today.

Nothing TOO serious,

just the usual fan/sneakerhead/icebreaker twitter question:

"Still rockin' Mikes?"

and she responded as such with:

"Always"

Subtle and sexy...

YES!!!

Shoutout to the Chicago Bulls for beating the Atlanta Hawks tho...

Next stop,

Miami....

A Song For Me

Most folks that KNOW me,

know that I can sing a lil bit.

Due to that,

I'm currently learning "A Song For You" on the piano.

This classic song is my new hill to climb on those 88-keys.

Written by Leon Russell,

it has been redone by a LOT of folks,

YET,

many folks recall Donny Hathaway's version,

which is the truth!

BUT,

the sheet music is for Leon's version.

So right now,

in my mind,

when I play,

I have to combine BOTH versions.

Good grief.

I ain't see the fight,

BUT

I DID hear that Pacman smacked Shane foreal.

It must've been a VERY serious matter if the ref is lookin like that tho..

Swag.

"Baby, I'm about to show your insides some style..."

Happy Belated Mother's Day

Yes,

I wrote it right.

Belated.

I ain't have time to update yesterday cuz a bruva was out spending the day with his mama.

Yea.

It was Mother's Day.

So I spent it with my mama.

Jerks.

Congraduations!!

As probate season transitions to graduation season,

I'd like to say CONGRADUATIONS to all the folks out there crossing that stage and entering...

REAL LIFE!!!

The only advice I have is to enjoy all the free time while you can.

(cues up Kanye West - Graduation)

Amber Rose looks funny

After seeing this pic on Bishop's blog,

via Mediatakeout,

I see Amber Rose is getting ready to travel back to the future.

Great Scott.

5th of May

Hey,

today is Cinco de Mayo!

On this day, Mexican folk celebrate their heritage and pride.

In the states, Americans honor this by getting drunk and eating tacos.

So whether you drink Dos Equis or Corona.

Whether you're takin shots of Patron or 1800.

As always,

be safe muchachos!

Adrien Brody, is cool.

After seeing Predators,

I gained a new respect for Adrien Brody.

BUT

the fact that he read "The 10 Crack Commandments" by The Notorious BIG at the Academy of American Poets last month,

he is CERTIFIED.

If ya don't know, now ya know....

Congrats!!!

Shoutout to Derrick Rose for winning 2010-2011 NBA Season MVP.

I knew he would get it,

and I'm proud of the young man.

I'll be at the game Friday with Journee to cheer him and the Bulls on,

cuz frankly,

I can't stand any Atlanta sports teams.

But that is a different post entirely.

Good Job?

Sooo,

due to recent news,

APPARENTLY,

Osama bin Laden was killed.

Now,

don't get me wrong,

I believe in Obama and what he says,

BUT,

The government is some sneaky sneaky muthufuckas.

Like how is that Osama has BEEN dead,

but they JUST NOT tellin folks?!

And why is President Obama walkin around the White House at 11:30 pm in a FULL suit?!

I know that's his crib and all,

but c'mon son.

Barack HAD to be listening to Late Registration as well because CNN claimed he was gonna make an announcement at 10:30,

BUT

he didn't come out till damn near midnight!

All in all,

I honestly don't know how to feel about this.

I'm sure many of you saw the news last night as they televised the Grove St. Party that was goins on in D.C. and all.

Had that city lookin like Mardi Gras.

BUT

in all honesty,

they were celebrating the MURDER and DEATH of a another humam being.

And like my man's Yahreezy said,

as a Christian,

it just doesn't seem correct.

I WILL be real though,

after talkin to Matty V.,

I know we are NOT the only ones that linked the announcement to this:

Oh yea,

someone pointed out that they can't wait to see which promoter is gonna showcase Osama's death on a flyer for an event.

Well,

it's goin down.

Basement.
