Cudi Shows Fan The Bizz-Nassssss.
So You Gotta Know The Story Before You Just Start Thinkin' Cudi Goes Around Hittin His Fans W. 1 Pieces. One Of The Fans Threw A Wallet On Stage While He Was Performing. Being Professional, He Threw It Back In The Crowd, But At The Wrong Person. The Person Knew It Wasn't His, So He Threw It Back Onto Stage(Bad Move). Cudi Took This To Offense, Thus Knockin His Ass The Fuck Out. Any More Questions? I Think Not.

'Tis The Season...
'Tis the season to be jolly?
Take a better gander; More dead bodies.
Cookies & milk, what a pleasant treat,
Torn off limbs & beheaded babies under the tree.
Mistletoes & bells jingling, everyone's smiling!
Reindeer hanging from trees; Santa Claus is dying!
Now will you look at Christmas the same? Are your feelings hurtin'?
Welcome to my brain, sicker than Tim Burton. >:)
-Happy Holidays from yours truly.

*New* Alice In Wonderland 2010
So, There's A NEW Alice In Wonderland Coming Out In 2010. Who Else Better To Do A Remake Of A Classic Than...TIM BURTON. I've Been A Big Fan Of Tim Burton Since I Was Like 8. Ever Since I Saw 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. Some Would Call It Akward To Watch Alice In Wonderland For A Guy Like Me.
The Way I Look At It Is Like This: If You Know Tim Burton's Work, You Know This Will Certainly NOT Be Anything Like A Regular 'Alice In Wonderland'. I've Got A Strong Feeling This One's Gonna Have A Sick Twist To It. >:)

Nike Air Structure Triax.
Well, I fell off the scene for a few days. Been goin' through a bit of probs, but the show is still on the road!
These are the most recent from Nike's Air Structure Triax. Never owned a pair personally, but I've come across a few of these while in some stores, and Imma say these kicks are pretty ill! The brown|purple|black colorway is sick, and is complimented by a white outer sole.
The MSRP on these are $115, so it fits pretty much anyone's budget. Make sure you cop you a pair!

Autotune Ain't For Everybody!
So recently there's been some buzz goin' on about this beef between the "King Of R&B" R. Kelly and the gunner for the throne, Trey Songz. Songz had some words to say to Kellz because of his mixtape release that was 100% auto tune. Not to mention the mixtape was released a week after the song by Jay-Z, D.O.A (Death Of Autotune). Don't get it twisted though, Trey is close w/ Kellz and was inspired by him musically. He was just highly disappointed that the Pied Piper hopped on the autotune wagon. Here's a little bit of what Trey had to say about the autotuned Kellz:
"First off, anyone who is familiar with my history knows I'm a HUGE R. Kelly fan & have been inspired by him since my early beginnings musically. So while some may take this as disrespect, those who truly listen to the lyrics will understand my urging him to go harder. I've been compared to R. Kelly since my career began while we all can recall R. Kelly stepping on the scene sounding AND looking JUST like Aaron Hall. He demolished his sound and then went on to build his own which was a mixture of many others. We all are familiar with his signature adlib "Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh" which he grabbed from Lenny Williams & let's not forget the "Bump & Grind" remix which started his Isley Brother's Vibe. Soon enough he assisted Ron Isley in becoming Mr. Biggs & while keeping Ronald close he kept him on his toes. The R. Kelly we all grew to love was innovative, witty, & trendsetting. If you were to say that R. Kelly has excited you musically as of late, I would question your ears. When I heard JayZ's "Death of Autotune" my first thought was when will R. Kelly stop using it; The King of R&B with a autotune filled mixtape (not to mention a auto tuned "Double Up" album) disappoints me. If throwing rocks at the throne wakes up the King, consider them thrown. I just want R. Kelly back..."

Kid Cudi: Fresh Meat For HBO
G.O.O.D Music is switching it up for the fresh, young phenom Kid Cudi; Cudi's sights are not for music nowadays, it's the acting business.
The new HBO series, which will feature Cudi, is called "How To Make It In America", and it's produced by the same people that brought you Entourage. Kid Cudi told revealed to the Arizona Republic "I have a lead role. My name character's name is Domingo Dean. I actually named my character after both of my brothers- Dean, who lives in Phoenix, being one of them, and Domingo.
Although his music career is pretty much at it's pinnacle, he wants no part of being typecast because of his music.
“It has no reference to my music. It was important to me early on to branch away from music and actually do something outside my comfort zone,” elaborated Cudi. “When we were developing my character with the writers, I was telling them, ‘Man, I don't want to be anything that has to do with music,’ just because that's not really acting.”.
Although Cudi's acting career is set to launch, his debut album Man On The Moon:The End Of The Day is still set to take off September 15th. Some big names are also said to be featured such as Snoop Dogg, The Clipse, Common, and Kanye West. Production is also credited to Kanye, as is to Will.I.Am, and Just Blaze.

We Are Not Losers, We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.
Lupe Fiasco, one of the few music artists to reach impeccable heights, is at it again! His newest album which has not been officially said to be released, is called L.A.S.E.R.S. Recently, he tweeted recently "Lasers ...comes from some repressed highschool outcast shit...blended amidst 'And He Gets the Girl' ambitions.". On the new album, it is rumored he is looking forward to collaborating w/ the legend Bun B and the new phenom from Cleveland, Kid Cudi.
Last year after "The Cool" album drop his retirement was suppose to take effect. As for the longing response, he says those plans are still to be followed.
Such Lupe fans as myself obviously don't want this to happen, so with that said, STAY IN THE GAME LUPE! HIP HOP NEEDS YOU!!

Is It The Shoes ?!?
Is it the shoes ?!?. Man this commercial is def. a throwback! Dating back to the 90's, Jordan sneakers have always, and in my opinion will forever be the sneaker compared to no other. Its something about the way they look when you put on a fresh pair of Spi'Zikes that makes you say to yourself "Goddamn I'm Fresh" lmao. Nonetheless, everyone who is a sneaker head has to have a pair of J's.
