While your waiting for the moments that never come!!!

 

 

The Only One’s

Aww the haziness of summer is upon us…..We yearn for the sunny mornings where you can sleep under the window and that gentile summer breeze…..Also time for vacation, mainly for the 1st family. Will it be Camp David, maybe Hawaii…Decision..Decision!!!. We’ll if early reports are true the 1st fam will be chilling at the Hamptons. I’m not really shocked, it’s a typical hangout for Black Dems. The Clintons and Kennedy will also be in surrounding areas--if they need some weak liberal tea time. As you can sense from the potency of my words, I’m not a huge fan of the played out Hamptons. A little background on the Hamps for those who think it just started getting popular after PDiddy party: “In 1912, a former slave named Charles Shearer opened the first summer inn in Oak Bluffs that catered specifically to black patrons. Only a few dozen blacks visited the island at the time, but over the years Oak Bluffs has become the summer meeting place for scores of what could be called the Only Ones—black professional and social elites who travel in worlds where they’re often the only black person in the room. The Only Ones typically break into fields or companies that admit few blacks, move into neighborhoods where few blacks live, and send their kids to mostly white schools. They are not running from their own—they’re chasing after the best they can get. They aren’t assimilationist”they’re ascensionist.” 

Very interesting, I know some of these Only Ones..or should I say I know the type. There usually the fairer skin blacks, very proper, smart, most of the guys date white woman and do serious hard drugs i.e. more then weed. The girls are gorgeous, smart and very very freaky. In fact we had a group called Jack & Jill similar to them. They would constantly try to “recruit” me and my family to join there pseudo gang. One way or another we never joined them, I Guess we were too Hip-Hop for them. As i get older I’m still too hip-hop for them but I do see there point a little clearer. Chris Rock said it best..”I Love Black People, I cant stand Niggaz”.

That’s the Dilemma I face. I’m part of a New Wave of Black Intellect that’s smart, edgy & knows how to thrive and communicate with other cultures. We grew up listening to Biggie, Jay, Nas and Pac…watching movies like Menace, Juice, Goodfellas, Do the Right Thing and X. Were smart, dominant, quick tongued with a dash of hip-hop. Were like Jedi’s, caught in between the word of Black upper crust yet were not corny and insidious. UGGGh.

Getting back to the story at hand, who really gives a ish’ where the 1st family stays for there million dollar a week summer vacation. Most of us, work our asses the whole summer just to maintain and maybe take some small mini vacations. You see the fundamental difference is rarely color or other topical things….it’s the Elitist Attitude.  I guess I wont be invited to Puffy’s Linen Party Now!!!

Another Week, Another One Drops

Just last week I presented the formula for happiness, If your under 60 and Rich..Don’t get married. Simple rule, no if and or but’s about it. Do they listen, Do they heed the jewels I’m dropping ….NO. Just this week, Gov. Stanford of the fine Palmetto state of South Carolina, called a press conf. admitting to an affair. Now this isn’t really is breaking news but how the whole thing unraveled is very very interesting. Stanford is a father of 4 (wow the kids look like they could be in the 60’s rock group The Animals-

Anyways his wife is a Heiress to the Skil Power Tool empire…another words she caked up and probably bankrolled most of his campaigns.  Ok, so he’s a republican that heavily pushes the whole Christian faith base initiative, in fact he was on the track to run in 2012 ticket. So how does he show his love for wife and family, He sneaks out on plane to Argentina to see his mamacita--and of all the weekend’s-- Father Day….lol. That’s str8 Mack and Playa ‘ish. I have a few points of Beef with the whole situation:

  1. Man your side-piece can’t be in damn Argentina, are you telling me you couldn't find a Argentina-like honey in S. Carolina
  2. Don’t ever…and i mean leave a paper trail. Didn’t we learn anything from the Enron cats shredding docs and more importantly Kwame Killypatrick (the big homey kept it real tho). Peep Gov. oops I mean Playa Don Sanford emails to Shorty (Full Love Emails). Here’s a small excerpt "Despite the best efforts of my head my heart cries out for you," he writes in another one. (I wonder what head he’s referring to…lol!) and lastly “Send you millions of kisses that will last till we get in touch again. best wishes from the deepest of my heart.P.S.: I don’t want to put the genius (sic) back in the bottle because I truly believe in freedom. I never gave you sexual details but now you don’t need to imagine you can close your eyes and just remember. I’ll do the same.” (Is genius the new word for cock…lol, btw way do you know what S. Carolina symbol is……GameCocks…..LOL)
  3. We’ll not really a beef, but the fact that you ain’t even tell no one in your staff, where you went to. Nobody, you don’t have no good friends on your staff that you could have told. I don’t mind cheating (more on this later) but the irresponsibility of leaving your state high and dri(sp) like the cheap deodorant is not cool.
  4. Ok, last Beef, cut all that Christian Value stuff out. In his presser he constantly mentions Christian this and Bible references. In fact he goes as far as compare himself with the Might King David--Bible's King David - “who continued to lead after sleeping with another man's wife, Bathsheba. "What I find interesting is the story of David, and the way in which he fell mightily ... but then picked up the pieces and built from there,". This is the GOP problem, all these lames cheating, asking for gay sex…and then screaming the Christian values shyt is a joke--You acting on your own behalf..enjoy it.
                                     

Where do we go from here…Who knows and who cares. People… Guys think about one thing….from about the age of 9 to the day we die, we think of one thing. Its that simple, screw money, screw sports, screw cars and everything else. Here the damn governor of of one of the biggest states in union, his wife is paid, he got a nice family and he still cheats….This is bigger then everything!!!!! I don’t think he should resign.  I think he should write a book called Disgraced Christian Values.Once again….Fellas if your under 60 & Rich don't get married.!!!

It’s really Amazing what Religion will do to ya??

I recently had a conversation with the most special lady in the world, my NANA.  this was on one of the 1st convos we’ve ever had were i felt like we was just rapping and chilling, not a lot of religious talks etc. She’s a master public speaker and communicator, between her and my parents my mouth game was ordained to be top notch. In saying that, Black Religion is out of control, once gain the little thing called Fear has reared it ugly head again. Blacks and the whole Gay thing are just taboo. Here’s what one “chuuuch” is doing to correct that problem--

                          

I’m almost speechless, but it never cease to amaze people. The stupidly and fear is insane. The kid and  I say kid cause he not 18 yet, probably at this point almost believes what’s going on is helpful. My stomach is in knots watching this clip, where the kids family, look at the faces of the followers even they seem shocked but don’t do anything. For once I’m speechless and no I’m not saying all  black churches are like this but usually more are then not. I think this church should have Playboy Gov. Sanford over for some “Lying of the Hands”

White Mans Burden

I’ve always felt that Eminem and Justin Timberlake should hook-up and do a song called White Mans Burden talking about the hate they get breaking into “black music”….it would be a smash of epic proportions. Hale they drop a World Tour, Concert Dvd’s that would be huge, Aretha Franklin Huge. Well apparently the Supreme Court beat EM and Timberlake to the punch. In a case heard and tried this week a Uconn firefighter was ruled to be a victim of “Reverse Racism” in a getting a promotion. Now I’m not going to bore you with the details but “Reverse Racism” is a very interesting concept and idea. One part of me says “GTFOH”..the less emotional side says I’m sure this practice goes on more then we think. One must akin it to the hate the Lakers get, White Men are probably more in-wardly hated for there position on the food chain, same as the Lakers. Now, lets make one thing clear, it’s virtually impossible for a minority to be Racist or participate in the practice of Reverse Racism by simple definition of the word. Racism is defined as controlling someone's destiny. Very rare do minorities have a position of power to control others destiny. 

MJ

I woke up smiled at the Man in the Mirror, Feeling edgy I called shorty over told her I wanna be starting something, she told me to Beat It, So I did…HeHE

The real beauty of music is everyone can enjoy it and it can place you at a point and time. Mike defined the the word Crossover---white, black etc all loved and enjoyed his music. I personally was a fan of his work in the 70’s, in fact I think Off the Wall was a much better album then Thriller but Thriller is you know Thriller. My sister called me to tell me that Mike got touched, you could hear the sadness in her voice. She was visibly upset and weeping. It not like she bought a Mike Cd in the last 15yrs but it was like part of her youth was gone. Mike was and is the King, there no maybe’s. It like when you ask comedians who the best…black, white all say Pryor. That that…..he’s The King.

       My Top 4 Mike Joints

                                     MAYBE TOMMOROW

         ALL THAT I GOT IS YOU

        

               Mike voice and depth was incredible. Ghost is the most thought provoking MC ever, you feel every emotion when he rhymes.

                     BEN                   

I’ve gone on record saying this is the most special love song. The depth, the humility, the openness in his voice is paramount, add that up to the fact that he’s only 13 when he sings it. One of the very few songs that brings me close to tears when I hear & I don’t even know why….

      JAM         

MJ, MJ23 at his zenith add a verse from Heavy D and a cameo by Kris Kross and you got Jam. Peep, the 6min mark, where MJ tries to teach MJ23 how to dance. Amazing how an athlete like Jordan is so robotic and stiff while Mike Jack is fluid and smooth as as a baby ass.

Shake your Body

Pure energy, the grove is funky, Mike is feeling it, the dance take the track to another level. This is feel good music, this it raw defined Energy!!!!

Sad to see Mike go but his catalog is sick, for all the youngins this is why Youtube was invented. Enjoy True Undisputed Gr8ness

 

Match-Up

Sad to see Ed Mcmahon go, happy to see Flav get ready for another season on Flavor of Love. I was thinking there 2 of the biggest Second Bannans in entertainment history. The question remains who’s the better 2nd Chiquita. BTW is it me or bananas always on sale…never mind…Tale of the Tape..

Sorry Ed, Flavvvvooor Flav got this one hands down. Even though your work on Star Search get’s mostly overlooked, your were a Hollywood Legend. Flav,…well Flav was the ultimate 2nd banana to one of the most influential rap groups ever plus his work on Flavor of Love and the bagging of Delishis is some reality I never thought I see.!!

Notes and Ish’

  • I Hate (I know it’s a strong word) Manassas, VA

  • If I don’t move I’m going to go Kimberly from Melrose Place just before she blew up the complex crazy. This place is draining my creative juices. You have to be leery of a place who’s main attraction is the State of the Art Crystal Meth Lab..!!!!

 

  • Another tidbit of this forsaken place, Last week marked the 16th anniversary of the Lorena & John Bobbit incident, you remember when she after a so called rape cut his member off….and guess where that happened, Yup Manassas….you can't make this ‘ish up if you tried.

 

  • Hearing and reading about Cali financial problem leads me to think one thing…… You voted the Terminator as your leader….really the Terminator. What did you expect to happen!!!!

 

  • Don’t know if you have been following the the largest  DC embezzlement case. Quick Review; Harietta Walters worked for the DC Tax office and managed to embezzle 48mil. Now that’s not the funny part of the story, the funny part is the  items the feds took from her house after her arrest. Items included 100 pieces of jewelry, 90 designer handbags, 18 watches a new Benz and the best one yet-- a silver Iguana figurine. If I was blind and you read this story to me, I’m sure I would have guessed she was Black.  Gotta Love It!!!

 

Banga of the Week

My good buddy twitter me the Anything Remix by SWV and Wu-Tang. What a song, another 90’s girl group that was damn solid was Xscape. Signed to So-So Def, they had a string of hits culminating with my favorite one..Who Can I Run To. It’s funny cause I was talking with my good buddy about the BET Awards & former member-Tiny new tv show. She’s T.I. Baby Mama and I guess that warrants a show now. I don’t know why they broke up or what there doing now but this song is classix. Added Bonus, I found the original song(Jones Girls)…What you thought they were the 1st--To be honest I think Xscape did it better….No Ideas Original

          

 

Enjoy your 4th of July…

Next edition were gonna

get real Independent

A Triumphant Return to the Mountain Top

 

Yes That’s it……you set out on a mission you have good days and bad days but remain steadfast on your mission. You stay fluid and swift with your movements—the vision of a rushing river comes to mind. The sweat the tears the pain the joy….no more Meet the Brown commercials----NBA is over and The Lakers stand alone on the mountain. You win you celebrate and that’s it……Next Year is already close then farther away. That’s it….I thought it was going to feel good gloating in front of Lakers Haters….it wasn't’. Winning should not be wasted on immature shenanigans, I’ve always knew this is where we belonged!!!!And That’s It, the real beauty of being the Best!!!

Now that Sports is on hiatus for at least 3 months, lets sink our teeth into some more important pressing issues like:

A Very Bright Future behind Them

 

It’s the Thought that counts…

but what the hale was you

Thinking???

I know i get banged for not 100% blindly being in love with the “idea” of marriage but I 100% don’t encourage it if your under 60 and rich. It truly makes no sense. 1 Question…1 Question….what celebrity marriage has ever worked….ever. This is coming on the heels of the Nas-Kelis divorce proceedings. Apparently she’s broke and needs 35k to live and maintain her lifestyle. The really dumb/ sad part of the story is Kelis is prego and about to drop that seed….So know he’s forced to sign a Jon Koncak like 18yr deal. Ugggh.

Kelis has just filed her financials with the court, making her case to get support and baby expenses from estranged hubby Nas.
Kelis says from 11/08 to 4/09, her average monthly income was $21,616. Hardly poor, but way less than what she and Nas were pulling in while she was with him.
Kelis, who is ready to give birth, has some pretty hefty expenses — $80,831 a month … way more than she says she makes.
Kelis says she hasn’t toured in a year and most of her income comes from her concerts.
Kelis says she spends $14,861 on her mortgage. Her nanny costs $3,500 a month. She spends $15,000 a month on entertainment, gifts and vacations — not too shabby. And she says it cost $175 to have the “baby rug dry cleaned.”
And there’s this … Kelis says she wants to buy “storage to bank the baby’s blood when he is born. The banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in the baby’s umbilical cord.” It’s used to treat 70 life-threatening diseases. It all costs $$$

WHOOOA-- The chick spends 15k on entertainment and vacations…Did ya’ll catch the last paragraph. She wants to buy a storage to bank the baby’s blood…..This is a gleaming prime example of “She should have Swallowed” moment.

So they do they listen, do they take heed…Nope. Just this week Usher filed for divorce with his wifey Tomika. Add the fact they got some kids 2gether and it spells “Let it Burn…again” <<-If that isn't an ohh snap did I  really order Bring it On 3 face or what!!!

Bottom Line don’t get married if your under 60 and rich….Total Waste of time….

Ok, can i squeeze one more in real quick from the “She should have Swallowed” desk:

Sixers star Andre Iguodala is being sued for child support by a South Jersey woman.
Clayanna Warthen, 23, of Clementon, delivered the baby, London Iguodala, on May 7. Warthen alleges that she has no income and has been compelled to obtain medical coverage through the state of New Jersey, and seeks temporary support of $12,000 to $15,000 a month. In her complaint, Warthen says that she and Iguodala, 25, had a relationship between October 2004 - the beginning of his rookie season - and January 2009.
Warthen alleges that Iguodala had told her that he would provide "whatever she may need." (she’s a cutie..too)---

So let me get this str8, you about to sign a huge silly contract (btw the sixers grossly overpaid for a cat with concave chest and no jumper but that’s another topic), your in the heat of the moment-cant find your jimmy hatz and your thinking uck’ it I'm still going in…lol---Now you got a 18yr contract---Gud Luck!!!! I’m not mad at her (she's obviously the smart one here), when will they learn.

 

LIVE GAME 4 JOURNAL---AN  AWESOME READ

This is my first live journal after years of following my literary inspiration Bill Simmons. I originally wanted to do the Live journal for my good buddy Rocky who was out of town with his lovely wife overseas. Who knew Turkey had TV's (joke) we’ll here is is,Click highlighted text above and enjoy…I did.

MATCH UP

I was riding home with my home girl and some how or another we reached the topic of favorite rap songs from the Yo! Mtv Rap Era.  We had few different ones we argued about but one consensus was Self Destruction. The song has the elements of the Perfect Storm—the best mc’s of there time, a banging beat, catchy hook and to top it off a Good Message. In a sense Self Destruction is the hip-hop version of We All World except edgier, harder and flat-out better. One of my fondest childhood memory is trading Self Destruction verses with my still good buddy Corey. In fact I even dedicated to him at his wedding a few years ago (only at Da Wicked where a wedding song dedication is Self Destruction….). Anyways, there was another song brewing on the West Coast that would being serious fire to Self Destruction.  We All in the same Gang by West Coast All-Stars was released in 1990. The seminal classix featured legends like NWA, Ice T Oaktown 357 and a yet to be Mega Famous MC Hammer. Damn, the Legendary combatants are lined up and ready to go…..let’s see how they match-up….Tale of the Tape

    

Self Destruction vs. All In The Same Gang
Producer D-nice Hello, i said Dr Dre
next question ---->>
Dr. Dre
Mc’s KRS-1, PE, Heavy D. Kool Moe Dee, Just- Ice, etc Slf-Dest. got this one, maybe not a better collection of MC’s. I mean a track so sick Rakim or Big Daddy Kane couldn't even get on!!!! <<<<<------------ Easy E, Ice-T Hammer, Digital Underground, Young Mc etc.
Twistability The only 2 fem'cees on the track was Mc Lyte and Ms. Melody uggh, kind of tuff but Oaktown was uber 80s hot and sexy, -------->>>> Oaktown 357, Dee Barnes (Google her & Dr Dre)
Famous Quote “Today's topic…Self Destruction”…KRS-1 <<-----Second best Rap Intro ever…1st being Deck on Triumphant (more later) “Kill a Blackman…what are you retarded”
Humpty Hump
Ill Cameo 4:11 Big Daddy Kane, in a full leather trench surrounded by 15 Honeys----Damn Pretty easy one, Big Daddy is the epitome of “Fly” that’s that.
<<------
Tone Loc—btw he makes a cameo in both videos.

The Match-Up is very close once again but Self Destruction just gets the slight nod. I give West Coast All-Stars is a 4.8 out of 5, there missing one key cog….Ice Cube (who at the time was the biggest Rapper regardless of Coast). But Self Destruction…. I mean come on it’s was the 1st rap song that I learned all the words to, In a sense Self-Destruction popped my Hip Hop Cherry and I’ve been a Nympho ever since……

      

 

 

 

 

Notes and Ish

  • Affirmative Action--Kentucky State University new Prom Queen is……. . Now I'm not upset that an HBCU picked the nice and charming lovely gal but damn this is the best Snow Bunny they had. I see way tighter joints on my daily commute…and that’s on a damn bus. This calls for Da Wicked PAWG Roll Call(plz feel free to add on):

 

  • Coco (the true and only definition of PAWG)
    •  

 

    • Betty Childs(Julie Montgomery)-OHHHHHH BETTY CHILDS---MY 1ST MOVIE STIFFY--THANK U

 

  • Elizabeth Banks-More like a Hybrid Pawg-Cute like, the girl next door. Not the uber’est(is that a word) of bodies, funny and like’s sports and chill--40yr Virgin,Zach and Miri.

 

  • GIGI …GIGI, so many hours of excitement and pleasure…CuteSmile and Awesome Work Ethic.
    • In fact I wanted to write a Personal Reference to GiGi myself, considering we been hand in hand friends for about 4yrs now.
        • Gigi is one of the most dedicated fun-loving sprits you’ll ever encounter in your life. She’s a tireless and smart worker. She accumadating (sp…lol) and cherry. Uck’ it, if it seems like I’m sweating her…I am!!--GiGi Myspace
  • My Apartment charges 17.95 fee for paying rent via CC--- My Power company charges $3 to use the online Bill Pay. WTF

 

  • I love saying black beans in Spanish----it’s so cool--Frijoles' Negroes. It’s like the only Spanish I know, but the mamacitas go crazy when i say--lol

 

  • I’m confused and torn on the whole Iran rioting thing. It’s very sad and tragic to see these nasty events unfold. I almost juxtapose it to the LA riots in 92. Both riots stem from anger and anxiety in impecunious areas. The spark in Iran was the much debated Election; LA was the Rodney King Trial. In a nutshell, both governments have failed them and there sick and tired of the motions. One could expect that in a 3rd world country like Iran with there shoddy Dictatorship government but to have that sentiment in 2oth century America is even more problematic. Strangely I do see a open door  for America to benefit from this unrest. Lets be real here, US has been beefing with Iran for like 40yrs now, Pres.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a lighting rod to our government. Add the fact they got nukes and you got Americas 2nd most hated Mahmoud-Here’s the 1st
         **BTW he was was sick shooting guard ( now you see why sports is so darn important)**. Getting back to Silver Lining for our Government, in a sense they have used one of the oldest trick in the books-Divide and Conquer--they can leverage there military intelligence with the non supporters and infiltrate the county easier. Lets see how this shakes out.  Graphic Riot Pixs

      Weekly Banger

      Inspired by the 2009 World Champs--only won(sp) song gets me in a special mood. Only won song gets you in the mindset to Triumph against any obstacle that presents itself. The beat is Sonic Crack and infiltrates every fiber in your body. The Thrill of Victory & Agony of Defeat!!!!--- No Hook, No Filler, the exact way Winners Like it!!!!

      Yes, this blog is long, smart and edgy….the words are flowing like a Fisher jumper, this is my moment let me bask in the sun a little. Getting back to the mountain is the ultimate “I told you so” moment. It vindicating and exhausting, but yes We Are the Best Again!!!! I watched the Victory Parade from work and got me really excited. Not per se about the actual parade but by how important and fun winning is. Winning in life, love etc. Winning is the ultimate drug!!!!. Please don’t forget to Think and Pray on your Blessings, while your out doing some of your favorite things ie. watching TV, shopping,reading the world famous Da Wicked Jumphsot Blog or BBQ on your new grill outside your house--many lives are being shattered and decimated over in Iran!!!

      And That’s That
