7 Pounds

The homie Al Shipley put out the years best list ( in his opinion). Your man DRAG made it to #7.

"7. PenDragon - I Got Hits 4 Cheap: Draggy Baby Edition (Team Arson) It's funny, Drag is one of these guys that gets on my nerves for calling himself the "king" of the city and this and that, but he also gets my respect for totally watching everyone's moves and sizing up the competition (he's always sending me links to other people's videos and music before know about them). And really between his production skills, and the heart and intelligence and humor that come across in his music, he has as much of a chance at making a run at the title as anyone these days, in my opinion. Not that I think there is a title, or that there should be. "

Now do I agree with 7th place. Hell no. I figured 410 Pharaohs was gonna get #1 cause they are on that Baltimore Shit! A lil club, a lil hip-hop. #2 is Brown Fish's "Bootleg III: F.I.S.H. & Friends... The Mixtape," which Al even says isn't a mixtape or an album. #3 is a compliation of songs from the Wire. "Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore Tracks from The Wire," so once again some Baltimore shit. Honestly from the cover alone I shoulda got #1. But I digress, I'm sounding Kanye-ish. I appreciative of Al even having a list or caring enough to put one together let alone putting me on it. I'm just saying.

Why er'body hate I say I'm "KING." I mean it!!

Spiritual

From the guys that brought you "300" and "Sin City" now they bring you ...ahhh...something else. The Spirit is a hero of a crook ridden city. Unsure of his origin he stops crime, gets shot, stabbed, dies, comes back to life and heals all in the same day. The movie is visually creative but the dialogue and some of the situations were just corny. Samuel L. Jackson is a villain by the name of "The Octopus." Eva Mendes plays jewel thief "San Serif," and Scarlett Johannson plays the Octopus' assistant "Lace & Floss." Its got plenty of eye candy but deep it is not. It sorta wonders off a bit too and you get lost in the babble of the Spirits monologue at times. Rent it for the babes!

7 LBS.

I saw Seven Pounds this weekend, starring Will Smith. This was a good movie, it kept you wondering what were his motives behind finding these people and "helping" them. I figured it out about half way through the film, but that did not take away from the feeling of this movie. When everything comes together, it does it fast and clean. The umm jellyfish thing was a bit out there (very) but it was a great film.

A one-of-a-kind six-seat Maybach 72 is now for sale. The car started out in 2004 Maybach 62, and was stretched an extra 3.3 ft. in order to add an additional pair of rear-facing back seats. The one-off vehicle is being offered for sale at $780,000, twice what the unmodified Maybach originally cost. Germany doesn't need a bailout...cause they don't make crappy cars, e.i. the PT Cruiser.

It Must Be the Shoes

A Saudi man has offered $10 million for the shoes of Iraqi journalist/shoe thrower Muntadar Al Zaidi. The offer is from sixty-year-old Hassan Mohammad Makhafa of Aseer (south west of Saudi Arabia). He's prepared to sell all his properties - which would be going to his sons - to purchase the shoes, which he describes as a "medal of freedom." He is planning to enshrine the shoes.

Burn After Reading

Burn After Reading was cool. The moral of the story is "mind your damn business." There weren't any black people in this movie, but if there were the movie would have been over rather quickly. After finding a CD in the woman's locker room of a local fitness center, some of the employees decide to take it upon themselves to try to get ransom for the CD. If a black person found the CD and popped it in (unlikely) and it was Young Jeezy or for the older crowd Luther Vandross its trash movie over!! But this movie has some great twists in it.

Why in the world do people request such horrible things. This gold and platinum plated, diamond studded Aston Martin DB7 was made for Prince Francesco Ruspoli of Italy. I guess he figured that he didn't want it and that it was a stupid idea...so its being sold for $140,000. Its Super Ugly.

Transexual Bags!

I getting kinda sick of these Man Woman bags...that is.... Women's bags that designers are trying to tell me are for Men. Nawh..I'm not buying it. Dolce and Gabbana just released a $50,000 Limited Edition Crocodile Skin bag, that 4 years ago chicks on Sex and the City would be going crazy over. I know every decade has its trends in fashion so I'm guessing that the Man bag purse is this decades. But the super crazy part is that dudes are buying and using these bags that are obviously for women!! 10 years from now dudes are going to look back and say "whoa! what was I thinking about." Just like that bad haircut from 92' its gonna come back and haunt you.

You say You Like Women Right?? Hmm...

Zack and Miri Made a Porno...kinda

Me and my brother Mark Shotta went to he movies yesterday and saw "Zack and Miri Make a Porno." It was a funny damn movie and it makes you never want to go to Pittsburgh for anything...ever. Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors, I like how he incorporates characters or actors from his movies into other films...looking out for his homies, I dig that. Jason Mewes ("Jay" of Jay and Silent Bob) shows up and the dude from Clerks does as well. Homie from The Office (Craig Robinson) plays a bigger role in this movie then any of his previous roles in "Knocked Up," and "Pineapple Express."


The one flaw of the movie is that it kinda doesn't end. It leads to an ending...you think there's an ending but there is no ending. It just goes off and deviates from the whole premise of the movie. Overall it gets 3.5 stars.

Vote or Lie!!

I think these rappers and celebrities are full of it. They all say go out and vote...vote blah blah. And the rappers all say they support Obama...but that doesn't mean that they are going to vote for him. Obama says he is going to raise taxes for people that make over 250,000 a year. So do you think Diddy, who is in the business of making money would vote for a person that is going to make him shell out more money?? Hmmm. He may or may not. Then the same has to be said for the celeb's as well. They just might vote Obama who knows.

Hennessy Kicks??

I don't know who is in charge over at Hennessy these days but their marketing is pretty much solely (no pun intended) toward young black males. First it was the Ads featuring Marvin Gaye just kinda standing there, now its tennis shoes...Hennessy tennis shoes. They are only 500 pairs made (thank goodness) and they cost 300 bucks. They were created by the brand Jhung Yuro (Young Euro). To me it seems like they are trying to capitalize and appeal to the young kids. It seems very distasteful and in bad judgement. But what do I know?

Buy these shoes and get drunk??

Flacco's A Wacko

Man I don't know if these guys are gluttons for punishment or if they just don't have with it takes. Don't get me wrong both this week and last weeks games were down to the wire and they were pretty brutal games. But when your offense (still) can't score (Kyle Boller is loving it!!) and your defense is fairly undisciplined, and tired by the 4th quarter you are not going to win ball games. Sure the 15 yard penalty they gave to Suggs was lame but, the Ravens were saved already by the 1st interception being called back. At the end of the day Flacco is still a rookie and makes rookie mistakes, but I'd still take him over Boller. Matt Stover also lost the game as well for the team. It was a 45 yard field goal, Matt Stover USED to be able to make those in his sleep. He has been inconsistent for a while now, and I think his time is running short. This team had the possibility to be a 4-0 team, losing the last two games by a total of 6 points. Perhaps they can get there act together and rally for the rest of the season, even though their schedule just gets harder and harder.

Kimbo Price??

Last nights loss for Kimbo Slice was a rip off. I don't agree with some rules in sports, in MMA the rule I disagree with is: if a fighter is knocked down and the other opponent is still throwing punches in about 5 seconds the fight can be over. After Kimbo's loss he pops right back up...and tells the fans the after party is still going on. If MMA wants to compete truly with Boxing I think they should put in some of the rules of Boxing...Really the only being a standing 10 count. If a fighter is knocked down in such a manner before calling the fight over at least give them a 10 count to get up and get together to show they can still fight. The cut Kimbo had on his eye was nothing...it was barely bleeding. Had he had been giving a chance to have a 10 count I think the fight would have been better. And for EliteXC to try to prove itself to be a competitor in the field it has to be more consistent. The fights overall last night were boring. There were more plugs for CBS shows last night then for the fighters.

And I do believe that it was a cop out by EliteXC when Ken Shamrock "cut his eye sparring" on the day of the fight.?? Really. I think EliteXC got wind of people saying that Ken Shamrock was old and washed up, so they cut him from the program and threw in this dude who I don't even remember. Who is still heavy sparring on the day of the fight...literally hours before?? Ken Shamrock is more of a submission fighter anyway so he prob wasn't going toe to toe with Kimbo...the whole thing sounds fishy. I mean Moby Dick fishy...

The Watcher

Ok I dig Shia but this movie was a little too much B.S. The whole identical twin thing has been done to death and its never done well. The movie doesn't make sense in many places. Why did "it" pick this random chicks son's trumpet to be the trigger? Why didn't someone just unplug the friggen computer the movie woulda been over. This guy saves the f'ing country and all this chicks gives him is a peck on the cheek?? This movie was about 30 too long. I was with it for a long time, but it just kept going and going and..well you get it. It was just alitttle too out of the realm of what I thought I was going to be about, then I just didn't hold up after that. So this guys dead brother is the only one who knows something is wrong?? It took a chick from the Air Force to look at the video and realize he was using Morse code??? And this computer can see everywhere in the world except for behind this wall where the fire extinguisher is??? Ummm yeah. This had a good premise just executed wrong.

Everybodies a Somebody

Somebodies is a new show on BET. I just really checked it out last night. It was damn funny. I mean not all of it all the way thru but hell neither was Seinfeld. The observations made and pointed out are hilarious and the situations that the characters get into are brilliant. I'm hoping that this show doesn't get cancelled. BET needs this type of original programing to really show and prove that it is a true contender as a network.

Creep Magic

Remember when David Blaine was cool?? Some will say yes, others will say he never was. But David Blaine used to do real magic. He started the revamping of the new age magicians. The stuff he was doing was so different and fresh. And you felt a connection with him and the people b/c it was on the street. No smoke and mirrors, or girls in leotards..even though its nothing wrong with that at all. Even if the stuff he was doing was staged at least it was friggen magic. Since about 2003 he hasn't been doing anything but these ridiculous stunts. Standing on a pillar for a week...dumb....Being in ice for a week..Encino Man dumb....being underwater for a week...Aquaman dumb. Now he is going to hang upside down for 60 hours. It should be over today, but truth is nobody really cares. Hang upside down all week Batman if that s what you want to do..but while your hanging up their Air Jordan, remember that you used to do real magic that people cared about and they were truly entertained by, now its like watching a reel of "Stupid Human Tricks" from the Late Show.

Dethklok

Metalocalypse is a show that comes on Adult Swim. It's oddly one of my favorite shows. I don't necessarily like Metal music, but the music on the show is mildly entertaining (when you can hear it). The group these 5 guys form is DethKlok and they are pretty retarded. The sudden rapid flashes of light that occur when they play can easily give a seizure to anyone that doesn't blink quick enough to snap out of the trance. The story line of weird..they are like the Metal version of Bill and Ted's group the "Wyld Stallions." Their music saves the world...but also destroys it...Many agencies try to kill the group, but their fans will kill anyone who trys. The band also has a huge army of soldiers...but are really pretty aloof to the entire scope of things. How do they pack all this in a 10 minute show...??? Hell if I know but I'm glad they do.
