So it's been quite a long time since I have visited the endangered species otherwise known as my blog. The last couple months have been unbelievably hectic for me and I've had to work harder than ever before in order to set the blueprints for my future.
So much has gone on in my life in the last couple of months and as I sit here watching the NFL Network at 2:42 am for the millionth night in a row, I felt the need to just get shit off my chest.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a very outgoing person, easy to talk to, and very social, but in the last few months I've began to develop a very introverted side to my personality. The people in my inner circle know that no matter what that I'm gonna be there to hold them down, but what I'm cutting back on is unnecessary social interactions with people that have no relevance to my life. What you eat don't make me shit! To those who feel like I've been acting standoffish or brand new, I don't know what to tell you. I honestly have too much important shit going on to deal with the irrelevant things you have to say to me. This may give off an asshole vibe (that many already have of me) but it's absolutely necessary to get to the place I want to be.
Girls right now are a whole nother story. Time is of the essence to me now more than ever, and it is almost impossible to have the time to get to know one very well. The ones I do know that wanna kick it are always turned off because I'm always busy. I'll admit, a guy telling you that he's always studying in the summertime does sound like a BS excuse, but in my case it's fact not fiction. Ehhh fuck it, my motto of late is "On to the next one." I need a girl who is as ambitious as me, and can understand where my priorities are, and if this is found along with a few other important qualities than we may be on to something, but in the meantime keep it movin.
My current thoughts involve how ridiculous Kanye's album is going to be. Ye is hungry, and that means trouble for the game.
In other news, insomnia is a bitch. Going to sleep at 7-8am on the regular is some wack shit.
If the Detroit Lions do not win at least 6 games this season, I may break down and cry.
I want Emmanuelle Chriqui AKA Sloan from Entourage worse than Freddie Prinze Jr. wants a career (shout out to the homie @_TheJuice)
When I go out tomorrow I will be getting dumb, stupid, super duper fresh. Also apply those adjectives, but replace the word "fresh" with the words "fucked up".
Now I'm to the point of my post where I'm just rambling, but it always feels nice to get shit off my chest, and look back months later to see what my state of mind was like. I know I've said this a million times but I'M REALLY GONNA TRY TO KEEP THIS UPDATED.
By the way follow ya' boy on Twitter...http://twitter.com/whoismoneymike
This joint has been gettin major radio play as of late, and Mike is one of the coolest most down to earth people I have met in the industry.
I've been wantin to hear this joint since I first seen the video of the two of them in the studio together. Royce straight bodied this as usual and Sean got a nice laid back delivery as well. Mr. Porter on the beat, I'm thinking this is gonna be on Bar Exam 3. Click below to listen or DOWNLOAD HERE
Everyone heard how Delonte has been giving Queen James the business, but no one has realized how smooth a cat he is. This guy is pure comedy in every video. "I don't care if you have to FLYYYY...planes, trains or automobiles...YOU BETTA HAVE MA DOOOONUTSS!!!"
Happy Birthday! Biggie Smalls – R.I.P.
Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a gangster in the 1975 film Let’s Do It Again), Big Poppa, Frank White (from the film King of New York), and his primary stage name, The Notorious B.I.G. (Business Instead of Game), was an American rapper and hip hop artist.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Biggie grew up during the peak years of the 1980s crack epidemic and started dealing drugs from an early age. When he debuted with the 1994 album Ready to Die, he was a central figure in East Coast hip-hop and increased New York’s viability at a time when the genre was mostly dominated by West Coast artists. The following year, Biggie led his childhood friends to chart success through his group, Junior M.A.F.I.A.
While recording his sophomore album, Biggie was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feud dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, he was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His double-disc set Life After Death, released fifteen days later, hit #1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified diamond in 2000. Biggie was noted for his “loose, easy flow”, dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released and he has been described by the media as one of the greatest rappers.
THE G.O.A.T
LMAO @ how many times they said "Holy crap" and "I've never seen anything like this." There is gonna be some pissed of insurance companies in Oklahoma City!
This joint has been on repeat along with the entire Kush and OJ mixtape. Spitta does his thing on this but I really feel Wiz outshines him on just about every track they're on. Regardless the beat knocks and a great song overall. Click below to listen or hit the jump for the download.
Slip on's have been done to death the past couple of years, but I do think the lightning bolts on these is a dope pattern. Knowing BAPE they'll be super overpriced but I guess we'll see. Hit the jump for full article and more pics.
I seriously cannot wait for these to drop. Rumor has it this release is gonna be similar to the True Blue 3's which didn't drop in the U.S. If that's the case I am gonna be quite upset. Click the jump for more pics and full article.
I know this shit isn't new but I put the Cleveland Show back in rotation as of late and this shit goes too hard! During the "Dream" part of the track you think it's gonna be this loud hood song, until Chip switches it up with the smooth flow on the "Reality" part. Dope track, and very underrated mixtape!
This probably my favorite joint off of Trap Or Die 2. Jeezy's verse was so-so but both Pusha and Malice straight bodied this shit! Pusha - "Tell Hova don't pass the crown so soon/Unless he got a crown for every writer in the room/There's too many spirits on these ghost-written tunes/So you can't crown the heir until you seance the room ---> BBM Shocked face!

Everytime I see you, you better have two dollars! OMFG, THAT was hilarious. I had to watch it twice, I am in tears!
I'm curious to bump this. Cam has not been goin in like he used to as of late, and I haven't heard much material from Vado. Tracklist and link when you hit the jump.
I don't even know how you would play some of these but it would be very interesting to see someone try. Click the jump for more pics.

Two new Nike SB Eugene backpacks have landed at DQM. The much anticipated “Gucci” color up is accompanied by a never-before-seen “Mondrian” make up that’s also quite the looker itself. More looks at the Nike SB May 2010 “Eugene” Backpack follow after the click.
Reportedly there will be a three-way rap battle with Jeezy announcing he has pushed the release of Thug Motivation 103 up to June 15. By doing so, he joins Drake and Game, who are also dropping highly anticipated albums that day. This will be a great day for hip hop, because I am expecting all three albums to be fire.
Dope ass song for the summer. I'm not really an R&B head but Robin Thicke is always delivering and Snoop is kickin that laid back flow as always.
I got mad respect for J. Cole and his style. In this interview Cole talks about his new single, the Freshmen 10 and the current void in hip hop. He's a rapper that shouldn't be slept on.
Overall I like Katy but I give the list a 6.6 overall. Katy is dope but not #1 material to me. Everyone knows my obsession with Kimmy K, but I'll post some nice pics of Katy...Click the jump for the rest of the top 10
Last week Pharrell and BBC Ice Cream hosted a preview for the line’s Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. While the line has matured a little (which is a good thing) the new collection keeps to the core values of that ‘billionaire boys club’ lifestyle. Space age inspiration is still strong in the line but colors are a bit more tame and the cuts have matured. In accessories, most pieces are still very much youth oriented but there’s something for everyone in terms of the footwear. Take a look below and let us know if there are any pieces you like.

It took me a minute before I actually seen this, but it is kinda crazy to me now that I see it. Pretty interesting stuff no doubt. 
If you can't see it check out this pic:
I've been thirsty for new Jada. The first two were fire so hopefully it's sick enough to compensate for the mediocre album he's guaranteed to drop. DOWNLOAD HERE
BONUS VIDEO KISS RIPPIN:
Conan: "I'm laughing cause crying would be sad ahahahha" I feel bad for him real talk. Conan still has it in his contract saying he can't insult NBC or Leno, but he probably wouldn't have said anything too bad anyway. Great interview, he seems well enough, and can't wait to see him back on TV soon. I'll still always be disappointed that he had his chance with such an iconic program and it got taken away, just too bad.

Chan movies from the mid 90's were soooooo crack. He is a beast, dude has practically broken every bone in his body and it's too bad he doesn't get the respect he deserves in general.
I don't really understand why Kobe is doing this to himself. He really looks mad suspect in these pics, and after Bron takin a 2nd straight MVP this just adds to how #hurtin he must be right now. And for the record I am not a Kobe hater and he is my favorite player.
OMG Jay Elec is a fuckin beast!!! Another classic track, this shit goes too hard...classic hip hop in its essence! Diddy's adlibbing is a tad unnecessary but is funny nonetheless. Jay Electronica is a problem!!! Click below to listen or DOWNLOAD HERE
Track is dope. Both went in with their verses I just wish Sean woulda had some more energy on this, his flow was kinda boring. Beat is dope as hell and this will make a good track to bang in the whip this summer. Click below to listen or DOWNLOAD HERE
The R.E.D. album seems like it is gonna be quite the banger...This is a nice track for the summer and the video's visuals are surely improved with Ms. Stacey Dash ma lawd!

A 32-year-old Omaha man planned only to pick up a prescription and buy ice cream when he went to his local Walgreens in the Benson neighborhood.
Instead, Harry J. McCullough III shot a would-be-robber, 18-year-old Marquail Thomas, to death.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said Tuesday afternoon that McCullough's use of deadly force was “appropriate and justified” and that he would not be charged in the slaying.
“There's no question that he had the right to defend himself and protect the lives of the others in the store,” Kleine said.
Nebraska law allows an individual to use force when his life or another person's life is threatened.
However, McCullough was ticketed by police for carrying a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor.
He had a permit to carry a loaded handgun in plain view for example, in a holster but he did not have a concealed weapons permit, said Omaha Police Officer Jacob Bettin.
McCullough pulled his handgun from the waistband of his pants before he shot Thomas, authorities said.
Kleine said civilians normally shouldn't put their lives at risk to prevent a crime. However, “if someone feels threatened,” he said, “they have the right to defend themselves.”
No one else in the store was injured.
Mark Bohaty, a firearms instructor in Bruno, Neb., said he didn't know the details of what happened in the Walgreens store.
Bohaty said he teaches students that using lethal force cannot be a gun carrier's first option when threatened.
“It is truly a last-resort type of thing,” he said. “The threat needs to be real, immediate, and they must be convinced that if they don't use deadly force, they are going to suffer critical injury or death as a result of the threat against them” or against a family member or a stranger.
Bohaty said people must use their judgment on whether lethal force is appropriate.
“There's no pat answer,” he said.
Police said two masked men entered the Walgreens at 6101 Northwest Radial shortly before 9 p.m. Monday.
McCullough declined a request for an interview when contacted by The World-Herald o Wednesday.
He had just made his purchase and was placing his credit card back into his wallet, said his lawyer, James Martin Davis.
One of the robbers, identified as Thomas, pointed a short shotgun in the direction of the cash register, where several customers were standing in line and told them not to move.
Davis said his client was armed with a .40-caliber pistol and fired after Thomas put the shotgun against the back of a woman using the ATM near the store entrance.
Davis said McCullough described Thomas' weapon as a Remington 870 sawed-off shotgun that holds five rounds. Kleine said the shotgun was not loaded.
Thomas dropped the shotgun and fled from the store, but he collapsed outside.
The second man, 17-year-old Angelo Douglas, scurried to the back of the store. McCullough chased him down, dragged him to the front of the store at gunpoint and held him until police arrived, Davis said.
Police were still looking for a getaway driver.
Robert Elfinger, a spokesman for Walgreens, said the store is cooperating with police and declined to comment further. The store reopened at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Davis said McCullough has held several security jobs, which was why he frequently carries his weapon.
McCullough worked in security at the College of Saint Mary from April to October in 2008, a human resources employee at the college said. He currently is employed by the Nebraska Medical Center, Davis said, but not as a security officer.
McCullough was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon in 1997. Davis said that case involved a knife. He was convicted of driving under the influence in Washington County in 2006.
Douglas was charged Wednesday with attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and weapon use.
If convicted, Douglas would face up to 120 years in prison — 20 years on the attempted robbery, and 50 each on the conspiracy and weapons charges.
Kleine said he charged Douglas with the weapons count because, authorities allege, he took part in a crime in which a gun was used. He is being held at the Douglas County Youth Center.
Douglas has no serious criminal record, other than misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction of law. Those charges were transferred to juvenile court in March.
Thomas was convicted earlier this month in Douglas County Court of obstructing the law and served three days in jail. He also was convicted of possessing an ounce or less of marijuana in Douglas County in December.
It was almost exactly a year ago April 29, 2009 that Thomas was shot when two males approached a crowd near 21st and Evans Street and opened fire.
