Sunday.

I had the opportunity to kick back and relax with one of my good friends today. She just moved into her dope penthouse apt. and I'm reaping all the benefits.

One of my college professors once said, "If you aren't on the top...its good to have friends at the top." And whats more "at the top" than a penthouse.

Holla!


The meal.


"Mmmm....Pizza"


Peace.

DMX Curses in court



I use to be a real big DMX fan but I swear to god right now we are watching Rick James (RIP) 2k8. It seems like every time you turn around DMX is into something I know he is a easy target and he isn't helping the situation but damn X don't give anyone a reason to even target you. Here is a clip of X in court getting some bad news and his reply it is kind of funny lol.

Dr. Dre Son found dead

Veteran rapper & producer Dr.Dre son Andre Young Jr. was found dead at his home in Woodland Hills Saturday morning.

I don't know what caused the death yet but it was reported Young was out the night before and returned home around 5:30 A.M. and when his mother went to check on him in his bedroom around 10 A.M., found him unresponsive. He was only 20yrs of age. I send my prayers out to the Young/Dr.Dre family.

Hip Hop News/Comedy


I got some Hip Hop News to give you guys instead of me writing about it I decided to leave it to the pros and finally introduce someone for those that don't know him Eben Gregory. I have been watching him for about a year now he has to be one of the most informative Hip Hop guys around and funniest although he may get at some of my favorite artist hey it's the Gift and the Curse. The hip hop news is on Juelz Santana and Cam'Ron watch the video and also check out his You Tube Channel

New Love


I found a new LOVE! I was watchen Kill Bill earlier today and she always caught my eye but just for some reason today I was like damn she can get it. Hahaha Well her name is Chiaki Kuriyama for those of you that don't know who she is you mite have to go back to Quentin Territino's Movie Kill Bill she was the young school girl who got brutally killed by Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman).

She isn't as famous in America as she is in Japan but she is on the come up. She doesn't speak much english so I got to learn some Japanese if I want in. It's rumoured that she may star in the 2009 Movie Tekken which is a old Namco Playstation game. So that means more american losers such as my self will now line up just to get another look at this woman.
