GET YOUR MANS.

If you've ever read my blog before you might notice the phrase,"GET YOUR MANS" in various post. Well over the past couple weeks this phrase has been used way too often [Haha]. When I use this phrase it's usually because I noticed someone doing, wearing, or saying something that I thought was unusual. Here are some recent examples, enjoy. [Once again, I apologize if your Pops, close relative, friend or someone you care about is spotted in any of these pictures. They were either "drawlin" or were so interesting to me that I decided to take a picture. You be the judge.]

[During my pleasant walk to Fern Rock station one morning I run into this dude, laying in the middle of the pavement. No, he wasn't praying, and it didn't look like stretching so I really don't know what he was doing. I had to walk in the grass portion og the sidewalk to continue my trip. Can someone get their mans?]


[This dude. So today, I'm on the bus coming home from practice and this dude sits in front of me. I immediately looked up because my leg was up on a chair and his hand sort of grazed my patella... Yes, my patella. So anyway I just moved my leg and every thing was fine. About a minute later the dude just starts talking to himself then laughing. I thought he was sleep talking at first, but he wasn't because his eyes opened and he was staring straight ahead like he was talking to someone across from him. I don't know if he was drunk, high or snorted because he was saying the most random things out loud. He started off by screaming out, "Happy Balls!" In my head I was rolling up and down the Septa bus floor laughing. Then he said, "You snoooze you looose... [insert laugh]... You want that new deal? ...This little house of mine, project 76... Whatchu doing after six? [At this point I'm pretty sure he could hear me laughing]..." But nope, he wasn't done he continued in song, "Don't break my heeeart." Then he threw in something about a smoke machine. When he finally stumbled off the bus he held up his middle finger, and even though it was directed toward the entire bus, I felt like it was pointed at me. Haha, get your mans.]

[The Green(e) Goblin on the Orange line. I felt threatened.]

I had more to post, but instead I decided to re-post this one from the "Drawlin" post I did. Because every time I see this picture, I el-em-ay-oh.

[This was the guy who carried his HUUUUGE desk onto the sub. This was funny to me because I can't picture anyone walking down the street with a big piece of furniture... like a desk. [Haha] If I did, I'm pretty sure it would be twice as funny as this incident. This guy was on the subway, meaning he had to walk down a series of steps... with his desk. He had to drop his token or swipe his transpass... with his desk. And I hope he didn't have to connect to a bus to get to his destination... with his desk (That would be too funny. Can you picture someone getting on a Septa bus with a desk? I'm laughing right now, because I could, but it would be too funny for words.]

So yeah, I'm done being ignorant/silly or whatever you want to call it. So next time you see someone who is doing, wearing or saying something unusual, tap your closest homie on the shoulder and ask them if they can please get their mans. It will make the moment funnier, trust me.

D.O.A OFFICIAL VIDEO

After a long drawn out thought, I've come to the conclusion that I feel like the Blueprint 3 will set Jay-Z apart from all other rappers, giving him the title: THE GREATEST EVER. There's always the Tupac versus Biggie conversation (In which I favor Biggie) or the addition of incredibly smart and witty MCs (like Lupe Fiasco) and their deserved spots at the top. However, Hov has been through it all, releasing nothing but good albums (Kingdom Come was slightly suspect in comparison to his others, but that's about it). He has altered the rap game in so many ways and continues to prove that he really is a business, man. His stature in comparison to other artist is humongous. He is not my favorite artist, but even the artist that I see as favorites place HOV on a pedestal. The man is on another level, I cannot wait till The Blueprint 3 drops...

I'll be willing to argue with you then.

D.O.A Trailer

HIGHlights. [Edit]

Here's some flicks from the past couple of weeks. Pictures that I meant to post earlier but didn't, because I'm lazy.

[You know what it is.]

[When looking back on this, I just asked myself a question... Why were we playing with a Python?]

[From Inked Mag. notice that the girls lock is open. I like the Spider-Man tat... but I would never get it.]


[At the Jazz festival, we parked behind our man Lawrence's crib. To make a long story short, Corey's Benz almost got towed. He caught the cops before they pulled off, so he got his Escalade back. But the "smack face" of the situation was that they broke off his door handle trying to get into the Range Rover... (Pathfinder*)]

[THIS BOUL... In summary, he called us demon worshipers, said he was 2000 years old (major) and told Gabe he had three days to live. He started talking in his own weird, speaking-in-tongues-like language, then Melo replied with a "Mama say mama sa mama cu sa" (HAHA.) and the dude took back his hex on gabe. He called Melo a "brother." Then about ten minutes later he was in cuffs yelling at the 5-oh. So, like my friends say, "Boul was SNOOORTED.")


[Sam laying in a lay-z-boy that was thrown out. This was such a Sam moment... a flick had to be taken.]


[This was the first time Juelz Santana, Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, Ne-Yo, MC Hammer and Kanye West performed on the same stage. Their only set back was the sound system [Shout out to the BRILLIANT DUMBASS who decided to put a mic on the iPod for sound, when there was a lovely Macbook Air at your disposal. Great Job. You def made me look like an idiot. Haha. But it's cool cause we still won.]

RUN.

I started running again to get back into the cross country condition I once was in (minus the shin splints). While my boys were playing ball at Gustine Rec, I hit Kelly drive to see if I still had it (Because I'm def going to need it next year playing D1...). To make a long story short, running was not easy as it use to be... I completed a nice "first day back" run, with no music (one of my coaches says it makes you mentally tougher). During breaks (I took like three), I broke out the iPhone and took pictures of the beautiful scenery. Probably, ran about six or seven miles total. I have to get on a regular running schedule though, who's down?

GGGGGE.

The reason I use to wear socks on the kitchen floor: THE MOON WALK.

I'm not going to act like I don't listen to "Butterflies" on a regular basis. RIP MJ.

STAY UP - 88 KEYS FEAT. KANYE WEST

I just saw this video on demand and decided to post it. Kanye and 88 Keys had too much fun making this video haha. STAY UP.



Aside from this video I figured I'd post this track too (Click to download):

Not My Fault - Chris Brown x Neptunes

Behind the scenes of "I'm Good"

Clipse feat Pharrell - I'm Good Behind The Scenes from Malice of the Clipse on Vimeo.

Hopefully, the video doesn't ruin the song for me. For you P lovers, he doesn't come into this video until about 5 minutes into it... I want to be at one of these video shoots, they seem major as hell, like a filmed party minus the "fraudulation," ie. borrowed vehicles and the infamous "slow motion" scenes [word to David Chappelle. Haha.]

happy father's day.

[(Remade photo) This man was dapper.]

In my life, the only father figure I've really had was my Grandfather who I called "Pops." He died in '04 but passed on a confidence that I carry with me each and ERRday. I see his old pictures and I feel like I resemble him even more than my actual father. From height, athleticism (Once was a boxer in Panama. Later he continued to ride his bike everyday until he was well into his 80's) and facial features, I see traits that we both carry. R.I.P Pops, your missed.

Where Brooklyn @

Yesterday, David, Just and I headed to New York. In New York our objectives were to A) Fix David's MPC and B) Attend the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. We completed both task, but with the help of Dav and some of his friends, I am happy to say we got side tracked.

[Big Sean kept me company for most of the ride. Supa Dupa.]

[First stop of our trip was Fat Beats, however we noticed that sign on the door.]

[Some store I forgot the name of... It had some nice Mishka stuff on sale.]


[A DJ's Heaven.]

[That's Black Thought (You can tell by the shadow), no Nikon.]

[I bet that Sprite would be good if they threw an "E" on there...]


[David and and the infamous Torrae. (Try out his new album with Marco Polo)]

[Tell Dav to take a break from talking, or a breathe at least. Boul goes hard... Haha]

[Yup. We made a trip to White Castle.]

GREENE.
