This is classic circa 06 Jones complete with Lambo references and ad libs. "Paper Planes" is a popular choice for rappers to remix. Rich Boy and Bun B did a remix back when the song was first blowing up.

The Obama and Ludacris link coverage is ludicrous (get it?)...



View the reaction on Hannity and Colmes above about Ludacris' new song "Politics" in which Chris voices his support for Obama and says some salty things about Hil and John. This is truly political journalistic nitpicking.
In this segment, three political "experts" are invited on to discuss the situation. This results in some of the realest talk I've ever heard on music listenership. Kristen Powers, a guest host, says the following: "Like I said, there are musicians that I never identify myself with but I can say that they are a great talent or listen to their music." This is a concise perfect way of stating how I, myself, feel about listening to music and artists. An artists' values and morals do not have to be in line with yours for you to enjoy his music.

Mp3's for the summer - E-40 ft Akon "Wake It Up" and Soulja Boy and Lil Wil "My Dougie remix"



Lil Will and Soulja Boy "My Dougie" (Remix) Sharebee

I am not too happy with this. E-40's parts are fine, but not overwhelming. Akon's hook is very generic Akon and does not stand out. Still worth checking out...

Lil Wayne - A Mili (Video)



It's aight, kind of a novel idea, but the novelty wears off too soon, and it gets a little boring. The censored part while he drinks his lean is clever and there are a few more clever parts, but it's nowhere as good as the song is on its own.

Plies - Definition of Real Album Review

Rating: 2.6 choppas out of 5 choppas

Plies' sophomore effort, while not horrible, is overall disappointing. While there are decent tracks throughout the album, there is no growth from his first album, which was somewhat novel in its brash bravado and anger. Definition of Real lacks the frank offensiveness that separates Plies from other rappers. Lyrically, not too much innovation or skill is expected out of Plies and true to expectations, he does not deliver any. Plies does not try to do too much with his lyrics, which prevents him from coming out looking like too much of an idiot. His straight forward approach is appealing for goons.
His flow and delivery on the album is quite good, but is not very unique. It cannot alone carry the album. In terms of content, Plies dropped the ball and missed the boat. He seems shy to preach to the goons and often turns to the ladies with vulgar bravado. Plies would be better off focusing on reaching all his goons and dawgs in prison (and all the suburban food court gangstaz who aspire to be goons.) However, he clearly did not get this memo. This leaves the album with a few good songs for what they are and a bunch of half assed collaborations with today's hot r and b artists. Plies refuses to allow other rappers to guest on his album, which hurts its ability to reach multiple segments of the rap listening population.
Highlights of the album include "Rich Folk" a lament about wanting to live like rich folks. Plies does demonstrate some depth when he raps about his seed's college plans: "Want my son to be the first one with a will/ Send him to college and pay it off fo fo year/ Let the streets be mad and tell him he ain't real." In addition, "Who Hotter Than Me," one of the album's single, works quite well because of Plies' simple bravado. He boasts with the best of them when the subject is realness and such, the supposed subject of the album. He raps: "Plies real, you preachin to the choiiiiiiir." This line, because of his simplicity works.
Definition of Real suffers because it does not do as promised. It doesn't define real as intended. Rather it flirts with real but does not seal the deal and take real home from the bar. Plies would be better off being as "real" as possible and let everything else fall into place. He softens up too much for the ladies on this effort.

Does the internet really exist?

The concept nerds refer as "Web 2.0," or the second generation of the internet, has been centered around communication and social network. Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, and a whole bunch more are prominent sites in Web 2.0. In addition, many other opportunities for human interaction over the web, which have existed for a while, have reached new importances. These include forums and message boards, chat rooms, and much much more. While we are often told not to trust people that we meet or interact with over the internet and that no one is who they pretend to be over the internet, there is a certain understanding that there is someone behind the internet profiles and opinions that we read.
This is where we have went wrong. What if the internet is not what it seems? Our current understanding of the internet portrays the web as an infinitely deep ocean of information and potential, with each user being a unique point in this ocean and all users being connected to one another by channels of communication that form a weblike structure. However, this might not be true. Instead, all of this 3 dimensional interactive hoopla could simply be a 2 dimensional picture created to trick the average internet user.
How do we know that when we believe we are interacting with real people over the internet, these real people are simply computer generated characters of sorts controlled by the man. The sophistication of computer programming and computing capabilities makes it completely possible that a computer could generate a convincing internet persona that posts coherent thoughts in colloquial way. This idea is difficult to explain because of the complexity of the construction behind it. Think about it like this: rather than connecting you to millions of people, the internet connects you to no one. Every internet interaction you have is with a super computer or government agents rather than real authentic civilians. This super computer creates responses and persona's that interact with you. The ideas of the computer are programmed or created by a team of agents. These agents use this system to push forward their own agendas.
Now, there are many arguments against this, the main one being when you interact with people you actually know online. This system in all likelihood does not apply to these forms of interaction, because there is no way for it to account for communication off the internet about what happens on the internet. However, any internet communication between two strangers could be controlled by this system. There is no reason that this is not the case. In reality, the readers of this blog are probably all just the same super computer perfectly calibrated to replicate normal human internet communication.
Oh well.

How to get a job with Audible Crack

So here's a set of questions often encountered in job interviews.
Following the questions are my responses that should get anyone here a job.

1) what are your main strengths/development areas
2) what can you tell and yourself and achievements
3) what interests you about the role
4) where do you expect to be in 5 years time
5) what do you know about us
6) why should we select you



aight ima break it down for ya, but you gotta do some cash crate surveys for me if you get the job.

1) say that shit i said in my last post. emphasize your humble beginnings as a young jamaican boy from c heights. and how the poverty and struggle that you witnessed in the bk helped give you insight into how you can be successful in the financial fields. this is your strength.
for developments, say that you need to work on treating everyone fairly and equally and not being distracted by petty shit in striving for your overall goal.
2) again talk about what you came from. make sure you mix tangible achievement with more abstract ones (like prizes and wins and stuff with like improvements in your mental schemes and what not)
3)i don't know what the role is but say something like it is a great oppurtunity for personal betterment, helping people, helping the corporation. if its pressure fulled or has long hours or something say that the challenge presented by this is something that you are interested in conquering
4) if it's a female say something cocky about being high up in the company. if it's a male try to tie in some sweet recreation that might seem a little bad ass.
i'm not sure on this one, so you might have to ad lib like jeezy
5) google em and get some good facts and shit about your position and about how the bank ranks overall. make sure to ask good questions that don't seem to ignorant but allow the interviewer to talk. flipping the interview is a tried and true way of winning in an interview
6) quickly sum up your strengths and your perserverance etc.

DJ Khaled - We Global predictions...


Anyways, DJ Khaled's third album "We Global" is hitting the streetz/shelvez soon. How do you think it will stack up compared to "Listennn" and "We Da Best"

I am kinda over Plies and Wayne's new albums at this point, because neither lived up to its hype, so i'm excited to see what Khaled can put together.
He has quite a challenge tho, because he has to make tracks that set themselves apart from those on "We Da Best"
He needs to incorporate new artists, not just the Khaled classics (Wayne, Rick Ross, Trick Daddy, etc.) "Out Here Grindin" shows potential.
The key to Khaled's success is reaching out to various segments of the hip hop/rap listening population. He can do this by getting hipster rappers and backpack rappers on there too. If he can get Wale, Kidz in the Hall, or Cool Kids, he will do well. If not, he will fail.
Holla back.
