Obama's 1st Weekly YouTube Address


President-Elect Barack Obama has pledged to deliver weekly "fireside chats" via YouTube. He calls for immediate help from Congress to aid unemployment insurance, and calls for all Americans to come together to weather the hard economic road ahead. What's impressive is how it doesn't feel cheesy. It feels as if all Presidential addresses should be delivered via YouTube. What's smart though is that they did disable the coments.

I Do It For Hip Hop

It amazes me how chill this track is yet the lyrics are still deep. From the many singles we've heard so far Theater Of The Mind is gonna be a solid album. And as the tag/DJ continually reminds you Theater Of The Mind drops November 24.

Dedication 3

DL: Dedication 3

Same dedication feel, none of that singy songy shit. So far what I listened to was pretty good. But don't take my word listen to it yourself.

I personally like "The Do's & Don'ts Of Young Money"

Don't Forget

Two tracks here from 2 artists who have somewhat faded or are fading away slowly though Chamillionaire always comes thru on his productions. I did like Slim's Freshman record, though I didn't think his style was fit for a producer like Pharrell. Creepin' is off of Chamillionaire's mixtape Venom.

Caption This?

To good to put in The Pic Of The Day. Don't even care what they was talkin bout.

Heartless

Couldn't resist. Kanye's creativity level is on a hundred, thousand, trillion!

With animator Ralph Bakshi & director Hype Williams, what less could come of this.

Gilbert Ridin That Barack O'Cock!?!...

Apparently, the Wizards (seemingly permanently injured with a leg that’s cost us the playoffs year, after year, after year) guard is "Crazy In Love" with President-Elect Barack Obama. So crazy, in fact, that he’s tatted up with Obama.

Ever since last Tuesday’s historical election, the U.S. of A. has been running wild with Obamamaniacs and Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards may be the biggest one. Not only did Gilbert get Obama inspired tattoos, he’s also getting a mural at his home:

Arenas has decided to show his permanent support of President-elect Barack Obama with a tattoo. Arenas had the words “Change We Believe In” tattooed onto the fingers of his left hand in cursive writing. Then, Gilbert showed the outside of his pinky finger, which had “44? inked on it.

Arenas has gone all out for Obama, adding that he hired an artist last week to paint a mural with Obama’s family on one side and Arenas’s fiancee and children on another side of a wall in Arenas’s house. “He united people,” Arenas said of Obama. “By him winning, it showed the world that we’re not as racist as people think we are. I think that’s the beauty of [the election]. Not just because he’s the first African American president. America is not as bad as people think we are.”

Now… I’m a Barack Obama fan like most of you out there… but this is just a little “extra extra” in my opinion. Just think if you saw a few rednecks in Kentucky with George Bush tattoos and Dubya painted on the side of their barn… you’d probably say “these right wing, Dubya freak hicks”.

Now is that "Change we cannot believe in" or what!? This the same guy who wasn't votin for Obama cuz he was gonna raise taxes! I’m just saying though. He needs to get his team in the right mindset…the wizards are the worst in the league right now with a 1-5 start for the '08 season. Those are my boys, but cot’ damn, the Knicks. It ain't even like they been close. Gil has lost my respect until he gets back on the damn court and fries people like he did KB back in ‘06. Yes He Can!!

Thr33 Ringz

I broke down and actually purchased (a term seldomly used in blogger culture) T-Pain's Thr33 Ringz album that dropped Tuesday 11/11. (broke down is the incorrect term, as I have nothing better to do with my money, no girlfriend...)Pain's singles produced, and surprisingly/unsurprisingly the rest of the album delivered in all areas. I even spent the extra...$4.00 and got the "Deluxe Edition" with pop-up artwork, and 4 bonus tracks. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. If every artist produced artwork of this quality there would be no problem with online downloaders and leaked albums. Anyways you know what's good, click the pic.

Just 4 Fun:

Seems like all the rappin' kats is tryin' to sing nowadays... I mean, I know you want to express your personality and all but, c'mon.
“What I want is for people to realize at this point is, I don’t give a f**k. That’s why I made this album. I’m using auto-tune because I don’t give a f**k. I like the way it sounds.”
OK...
