OMG (Literally!) IF & Co Black Jesus Piece!!

Since the 80's (yeah, that long ago) gold Jesus pieces have been in style (there are some old pics of Aaron hall rockin' a jesus piece!) Ironically enough, most of the people giving this "glory to God" are killers, drug dealers, or just plain ungodlike people. Jacob Arabov (aka the Jeweler) injected new life in Jesus Piece when the Notorious Big (aka Biggie Smalls aka the grestest rapper of all time) started purchasing some with his rap money in the early to mid 90's. Since, we've seen expensive diamond encrusted jesus pieces on everyone from Usher to Kanye West. I even got one a few years back. These days, Jesus pieces come in all shape, sizes, and materials, even WOOD. As seen on trendsetter Jayz of late, here comes the (as I call it) triple black Jesus piece.

Nike MVPuppets (feat Lupe Fiasco and Krs One)-"Dunkin' on a Reindeer"

If you watched the 2009 NBA playoffs, you undoubtedly saw the hilarious puppet series, "MVPuppets" featuring NBA superstars Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. These followed the day to day of Kobe and Lebron, if they were roomates. As the playoffs went on, the subject matter followed how the stars were playing. The series seemingly ended with 2 commericials: 1 showing Kobe celebrating his championship, and another showing Lebron preparing for next season. Despite the success of the commercials, I didn't think they would be back. I'm glad I was wrong. just in time for the holidays, Nike Basketball released "dunking on a Reindeer," featuring the voices of the legendary KRS One, and Lupe Fiasco. Check out this hilarious video:

The Space Jams are back!!

I've been a sneakerhead since I can possibly remember, but I don't really have what you would consider "restraint", so I try not to shop too often. I have had my love affair with dunks, air forces, air maxes, shell toes, reebok pumps, prestos, vandals, sauconys, blazers, bapes, chucks and many, many more, but I have always had a love hate relationship with jordans. Growing up, like most kids Mike was my idol, and as much as I wanted the shoes, it was a joke to even think about asking my mom for some 150 dollar shoes. When I started working and I could afford them, I thought "I could get 2 or 3 pairs of hot kicks for the price of 1 pair of J's". Then the market got flooded with fakes, and any joe schmoe was rocking J's, and it drove me crazy so I had a personal boycott against them. All of these thought processes went out the window with the all black jordan 11's aka the SPACE JAMS". These are far and away the nicest Jordans EVER. According to the Jordan website, the latest re-issue of the space jams will be December 23, just in time for Christmas (if you have the patience to wait in line at 5 am). Now that I can easily afford them, I might go ahead and tuck the restraint away 'til 2010!

Brittany Murphy and another case of a wasted life

Normally, I really couldn't care less about some rich young actor or athlete who has no idea about how good they have it, and throws it all away by doing something stupid. This happens so often thats its not even news to me anymore. I'm not a fan of death, but some people are just so stupid, its hard for me to have sympathy OR empathy for what happens. In case you didn't read or hear, Brittany Murphy, a pretty and talented actress you've seen in 8 mile, clueless, and girl interrupted, died this am from an apparent heart attack at just 32 years old.

Now tell me--How does a young healthy woman basically drop dead without a warning sign? Just the way many music and movie icons have: Hard drug abuse. While nothing conclusive as far as the cause of her heart attack has been released yet, I think the writing is on the wall. I don't know anything about what has been going on with Brittany, or if she was facing any adversity currently, but what I do know is that she was an established actress with a known name, who has been involved in some big movies. I hate stereotypes, but everyone knows how the rich and famous party hard, and most of the time, that hard partying involves hard drugs. Was I really the only one ON EARTH that agreed with and listened to the "SAY NO TO DRUGS" seminars we used to go to when were were in 2nd grade? Am I the only one immune to peer pressure? Am I the only one who has seen so many people die or live these terrible lives because of these addictions? EVEN WORSE, if you were a MILLIONAIRE, wouldn't you find something a little more productive to do then snort coke? Or for that matter, make it rain at a strip club? Buy 20 cars? Bankroll a dogfighting ring? Buy a bunch of assault weapons? I don't know. Maybe I was just raised differently.

I don't want to go off on a ridiculous tangent, sounding like I'm hating on "the rich and famous". I do, however, wish that people would enjoy what they've been blessed with, and were more responsible with what they say or do, because these days, EVERYONE IS WATCHING.

Timbaland Feat. Drake-"Say Something (Video)"

Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a huge Drake fan (and I'm not referring to "best I ever had" Drake) because hate him or love him, the kid is TALENTED. This song has been online for about 2 months, but the video dropped last week. Beat is fire, and Drake saves the track from underwhelming Tim bars. Check it out:

The Game collabing with Justin, Pharrell on R.E.D album

According to MTV, one of my favorite pop and b acts, Mr. Justin Timberlake, will be joining one my favorite ignorant rappers for his upcoming R.E.D album. I think Game is a supremely talented "rapper", even though he enforces probably every black/rapper/poor/thug stereotype known to mankind. Nonetheless, I do enjoy his music, and have supported him by actually purchasing his records. Despite the various beefs that the "hurricane" has gotten himself into over the years, I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to some new music from him.

2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder is not playing around

We know all the "Big Dog" car companies make entry level cars for us "regular" guys. Unfortunately, affordable pricing usually means a crappy car. A Porsche is a Porsche, no matter how you slice it, but for many years the Boxster forced you to call it crappy. Tiny interior, generic styling, and unless you got a type S, pretty regular performance, the Boxster was indeed the poor man's Porsche. In 2005, the Boxster finally started to live up to its bloodlines, with a redesign that brought power AND swagger. For 2011, the new Boxster took steroids and spent 100k on cosmetic surgery. Besides being the lightest Porsche out, it packs over 320 horsepower stock, and has "Carerra GT jr" styling, which is a huge plus if you like the 2004-06 monster as much as I do. However, at a 62k base price, this sure isn't the poor man's Porsche anymore. Read the review and check out some great pictures from Car and Driver here.

Really? Gucci Mane?!

According to DimeWars Gucci Mane (yes, Gucci Mane) is projected to top the rap charts this Wednesday. Is this how far rap has fallen? I'm definitely not one to "hate", but quality is quality, and this is NOT. To me, Gucci is relevent ONLY for these things: making barely comprehensible rap, having a diamond bart simpson piece (even though he's 30 something), toasting with cars, apparently shooting people for no reason, and, most puzzlingly, BEING ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER RAPPERS IN THE COUNTRY?!? Why?!?

While I do agree I have a slight (read heavy sarcasm) "east coast rap" bias, this stuff is horrible. (I have friends that will argue this with me). The songs aren't good, his look is terrible, He's even OUT OF SHAPE! I suppose this is what we're going to be subjected to in this era of "RAP." There are too many AMAZING artists that are not selling records because of the climate (but that's a whole other post). Oh and by the way, Gucci will be coming in second on the overall charts to Chris Brown aka CBreezy aka Beat 'em up Brown (LOL).
