So You Think You Can Sing!!

Damn where the hell is Simon Cowell when you need him. What we have here is a clip of Britney Bitch! Singing through her microphone without any sync on her voice. This is just the raw microphone and her horrific screeches into the sound set. Damn, her singing sounds like a dry mouth Camel singing for some water on 42nd street. I think Ashley Simpson could sing better than her. And the crazy thing is she is making a comeback on MTV's Music Awards. I wish her all the best with getting her life together but damn leave the singing to the muchachos on the subway trains at least I'd give them a dollar. I wouldn't even waste my time downloading your album for free. HatE. HaTE . HATE!

Kiss The Converse!

For All My 80's Babies who remember the movie The Last Dragon. The man who played the Shogun of Harlem, Julius Carry III died of pancreatic cancer this past weekend. Although he was seen in over 100 films. Many of us will remember him for his laughter induced role in the film The Last Dragon. I think Converse should make a campaign for the scene when Shogun told Leroy to "Kiss the Converse". That scene put Chucks on the map. I mean it helped a little. But on a serious note. Here is a clip just to remember the good old days when black men had jerry curls!



P.S. And I added a little delayed voice over effect like back in the day when you use to watch those Kung Fu flicks.

Finally A Black Man Who Can Swim. And The Whole World Knows It!

If you have been living under a rock please don't read the following news article below: Because it details the 2008 Olympics which has been pretty much on the news for the past week and a half. So if you don't know by now Micheal "Fish" Phelps has 8 medals and my man below has 1. But His one is more important than all of Fish's eight combined. Why? Because Stereotypes exist because there are some truth to them.
The article below explains it all. Of how the press stretched the BLACK fact so thin that cosmetic surgery couldn't repair these marks. Damn! So What if He's Black and He can Swim! I know I cant swim, I don't need to, Cuz I can RUN!!!JUMP!!!CLIMB!!!SHOOT!!! Shall I go on?



Riding Olympic wave Bronx-born swimmer now champ in Beijing

Cullen Jones' Olympic win will set a new standard for African-Americans.
Bronx-born swimmer Cullen Jones didn't just help power the U.S. relay swim team to Olympic gold - he just may have shattered the stereotype that blacks can't swim.

Although Jones isn't the first African-American swimmer to make the Olympic squad (he's the third), or the first to win a gold medal (he's the second), he figured in one of the most exciting races in sports history.

And that thriller will be replayed on Olympic highlight reels for generations to come. "I hope this exposure from the race today, a kid can see this and say, 'Wow, a black swimmer - and he's got a gold medal,' " Jones, 24, said. "The stigma that black people don't swim ended today."

"That's great," said Jones' teammate Michael Phelps, who also romped to victory today in the 200-meter freestyle for his third-straight gold medal of the Games.

As for Jones, the reason he began swimming in the first place is because the water nearly killed him.

Jones was 5 years old and living in Irvington, N.J., when his parents took him to a Pennsylvania water park to cool off. His mother, Debra, didn't want him to go down a slide in an inner tube because he couldn't swim.

Jones should have listened to his mother. When the inner tube flipped over, he panicked instead of letting go and then passed out.

It took CPR to bring him back to life. The next week, his mother sent him for swimming lessons at a YMCA in nearby Newark and then the John F. Kennedy Aquatic Center, which is also in Newark. Jones took to the water immediately, but wasn't a standout at first, his coaches said. "At first he was an average swimmer and he progressed," said Elliott Bradley. "The more he progressed, the better he got at it. I never thought he would go this far. I'm very proud of him."

Jimmy Wilson, the head coach at the swimming center, said Jones just worked harder than the other swimmers.

"His mom would have to drag him out of the water," he said. "He was very highly motivated. Some kids just have that glow in him. I just watched him grow."

When Jones started winning, his mom began taking him for specialized training, where he refined his swimming skills. For a time, she would get him up before dawn and take him all the way out to Long Island for 5 a.m. practices in Hempstead.

"She was very devoted," Wilson said.

Jones was acutely aware that he stood out in the mostly white sport. But it did not deter him. And if he felt uncomfortable, he did not let it show.

"My parents always believed in the fact that whenever you leave the house, you're representing the family," he said in a recent interview.

Jones' father, Ronald, who played basketball in the Bronx, died of lung cancer when the young swimmer was 16. He did not live long enough to see Jones win a college scholarship, an NCAA title and a multimillion-dollar Nike endorsement contract or help set the world record in the 4 x 100-meter relay last year.

Although Jones set an American record in the 50-meter freestyle preliminaries at Olympic swimming trials last month, he didn't qualify for any of the individual events in Beijing. So his only shot for a medal was Sunday's dramatic relay race, in which he swam the third leg.

Now Jones, who hopes to channel his Olympic success and good looks into a modeling career, is devoting himself to a foundation he started aimed at helping minority-group members learn to swim - and compete. He is dating Olympic swimmer Maritza Correia, and he still swims six hours a day, seven days a week.

Jones said blacks can swim as well as anybody. "Not many black people played golf before Tiger Woods," he said.

The Best Part of a Daily News Article are the Comments People make so here are a few:

"Wow, all these years I never knew about the stereotype that black men can't swim. I just figured they knew better money was elsewhere should they wish to pursue an athletic endeavor'

Exposure to new experiences in life is so important. I think the source of this stereotype comes from the fact that most inner city blacks do not have formal training in swimming. There are limited facilities, esp. in urban area, and virtually no free training programs available. This is why so many young minority kids run the streets and get into trouble. It still stuns me when I meet someone from the WI/Caribbean who cannot swim and/or are afraid of the water. When you grow up around in communities affected by poverty, crime, drugs, un-employment, violence, "luxury activities" and "vacation sports" are the least of your concerns. The reality is, unless someone in your family swims, or you can afford private lessons, you're on your own and may never learn. Note the high number of minority swimming deaths just this summer alone in NY & NJ.

Jones statement "not many black people played golf before Tiger Woods" is so stupid and racist I can't believe he said it. And this piece of **** publication reprinted it. And why is it that the first time someone black does something like win a Olympic Gold Medal in swimming, something men and women the world over have been doing thousands of times for 100 or more years, They and I quote this rag " Cullen Jones is an ICON for African-Americans" Give Black people a break, and Cullen Jones his due for his hard work, ( the amount of pool time, weight lifting and other training the average person could not even attempt to imagine, let alone try to copy) Lets congratulate him for the huge achievements he has dedicated his life to. Not for something he was born with and has no control over. Of course I mean no disrespect to Michel Jackson. The first Black man to turn himself white, and into some sort of half man half woman, that is 100% weird. Now what was it we were talking about

Song of the Week....Being Weird is Actually Being Unique!

Shout out to Charles Hamilton. For many of you who do not know who this man is. One of the New Up and Coming Rappers out! 20 years old and running!

I want my Raise!!

Everyone needs a little laughter from time to time so I received this joke at work and I figured I'd share it with you guys. Enjoy!



I want my raise

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

I do physical labor..
I work at great depths.
I plunge head first into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark area that has poor ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to diseases.

Reply:
Dear Penis, after assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the management denies your request for the following
reasons:
You do not work 8 hours straight
You WORK IN SHORT SPURTS AND fall asleep after EACH brief work period.
You do not always follow the orders of the management team.
You do not stay in your designated area, and are often seen visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
You will retire LONG before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed the assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have constantly been seen entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags. Furthermore, perhaps you should consider the following five reasons not to be a penis..

You're bald your whole life.
You have a hole in your head.
Your neighbors' are nuts.
The guy behind you is an ass hole and...
Every time you get excited, you throw up and then faint

Bush for Brains

My fellow Americans may we bow our heads in silence as we acknowledge the Greatest
President of our time. President George W. Bush... Sike! This dudes a friggin idiot and here are a few reasons why!

Is it Dame Diddy Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy...

..."Oh I get it He's Biggie and Your Puffy". Well we all know that Dame Dash can never be Puffy. My bad Sean Diddy Combs. Well my people, "Diddy" is back at it with his new show on VH1 called "I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY". The show is prettey hilarious and brings to mind the original MTV Hit, "Making the Band". The topic of discussion is the humiliating cheese cake walk to Brooklyn. Alot of people gave the "Making The Band" group alot of flac for making the trek across the Brooklyn Bridge. People said you could never be a real rapper and have that hanging over your head. Yet, if it were you... I think Everybody would make that walk across the bridge. At the end of the day its about Pride vs. Paper. in life sometimes you gotta learn to swallow your pride and get this paper. Or lose your sense of yourself for the lust of the green.

I know "The D to the A to the D.D.Y" is definitely gonna have some more embarrassing scenarios in this new reality TV show. So the question remains about the people on this show. Do you think that there straight suckers for putting themselves in situations that can define their 15 minutes of fame as being an embarrasment to thier families. Damn Maybe that was harsh but shit, none of my brothers could come back home after they walked a bridge for some damn cheesecake. Let me know how you feel? leave a comment...
