Pac-man - Throwin bombs to Seel Fresh

Alright so check it out. I was out on Saturday night getting ready to watch the Pacquaio v. De La Hoya fight with 20 of my closest friends and the last undercard match came on. Now I am not a fair-weather boxing fan, I can spit a few stats to you about a variety of fighters but I had never seen Victor Ortiz get down. He fought against this dude Resto and straight up he beat him like a red-headed step-child and Resto was done before the end of round two. The only reason it kinda sucked was then we had to wait another 45 minutes until Pac-Man and the Golden boy lit it up.

Needless to say we can officially change his name to Oscar De La Hasbeen. Let me paint the picture for you like 10 of the dudes I was chillin with were of Latino descent so obviously they were all about the Golden Boy. I personally have watched enough fights to know that this fight was Pac-man’s from jump. Nobody wanted to put money on it except me and now I have 10 guys that will call me for advice in the future when they want to place a bet.

De La Hoya got destroyed end of story check the stats on ESPN.

So speakin of Manny Paquiao throwin bomb’s reporter CHRIS FARAONE of the Boston Phoenix did a 3000 word expose on the Graffiti “Wars” in Boston. I mean factually it was a little twisted. My boy from STAABB happens to throw down some serious burnahs and I’m not gonna put him on blast here but, on the real tip he knows whats goin down in the graffiti underworld so his opinions and fact correcting are trusted.

Graffiti is one of the purest art forms connected with the hip-hop lifestyle and if I had more artistic skill I would be out there bombin’ like George Bush. Unfortunately that’s not the case so I will sit here and offer my take on the whole thing. You listen to emcees who kick it lyrically, so you should appreciate the bomba's that throw down artistically. I mean look for some of the art from AWAKE, BACKS, PATS, SPEK, UTAH, SEEL FRESH, CHiLI, M31, MISE or any other number of artists that keep it live and real. I mean even though I might not know them personally I appreciate what they add to the hip-hop community. Free-expression. I mean what would have become of hip-hop if NWA stopped puttin out tracks because they were afraid of what the police where going to do, or if BIGGIE had a job as an Accountant. The art would not be where it is today so it is Graffiti artists out there that keep this lifestyle and movement alive and well. With that eff the toys and faka's and eff Chris Faraone. Much love and respect 2 real hip-hop.

So speakin' of keepin' it real my boy O.G. introduced me to an artist I am pretty impressed with not only does he get down with the culture lyrically but artistically too. SEEL FRESH keeps it live in Chi-Town, stop by his page and show him some love. If you don't know bout him, now you do. He reminds me of a time when LL stayed rockin the 3-stripes and furry Kangols and bein a b-boy wasn't brought to you by pac-sun or Clear Channel.

Keep it real check it out and let me know what you think.
Squeeze it easy,

Walk with da swagger you were born with, America! Now gimme da loot!

So I am sitting here thinking about the bailout of the automobile industry, barack obama, and The Clipse. I know; pretty random collection of thoughts but hey what can I say.

Lets startout with the automobile industry. So the unemployment rate is up to over 5.5% and we are probably going to hit about 6.8% closer to 7.5% im guessing before we even start to change the trend; and the Government is seriously going to bail out these car companies? I mean middle America, who is the "Heartland" for these companies, are 45% or so against it. But I guess we learnt our lesson in the 2000 election, that the populouses voice is sometimes not as loud as a lobbist's. Kinda B.S. in my opinion but until the country unites and does something about it ain't gonna change. I mean even with a catalyst such as 9-11 we united to a point and then became tired with it. Where are all the flags and "Proud to be American" signs now? hmmmmm questionable...Patriotiscm is only socially acceptable during times of tragedy; that is suspect in my eyes.

Speaking of catalysts for change and unification the election of Barack Obama unified two fronts. The progressively-minded majority of America and the backward thinking, racist red-neck agendaed America. Not that I have an opinion. I mean take skin color out of the equation and bottom line is I am a staunch Dem so Obama was the only choice, but when people vocally show racism towards the man they don't even know anything more about, than the libelous commercials and propaganda of John McCain and republican groups, what can you expect.

The election of Barack Obama did bring about unification and rejoicing in democratic area's. You should have seen the crowds storm the street in the epicenter of liberalism of Cambridge, MA. It doesn't change the fact that we are in one of the most tumultous times in our country in the last 50 years. Even during this time I am proud to be an American even with all our warts.

Lastly, The Clipse dropped the new mixtape "Road Till the Casket Drops" is off the chain, I suggest if you like hip-hop at all you should give it a listen, even though it is a lil glam-hop for me. If your down to vibin' with the swagger you were born wit and sippin champagne this mix is sparkley. That is all 4 now I am out like a dyslexic kid in a GNILLEPS EEB!

Come One Come All....................

There must be a begining for something to achieve the middle and the end. This is the bare-bones beginning of the new wave of pointless blogs. You are going to get my take on it all; thoughts, feelings, and anything in between about life, liberty, and the persuit of reality albeit an altered state of one.
