A lot of my friends are jockin’ this track, which I give about a 6 out of 10. The video is what happens when you enlist every extra from The Air Up There to recreate “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See” in your living room. Can’t tell whether I like it more or less now. Kanye’s still the mantis for doing whatever the fuck he feels like.
If your feeling this, peep Royce Da 5′9′ - “Shot Down”. Mean.
If your views differ from that of the homie Racial (”hip-hop > sports!”) you will probably agree these finals were the most interesting since the Bulls dynasty.
I’ve heard a lot of talk about how the big three dominated the Kobe Show, which is true, but when it comes down to it the championship equation is easy… Thoro niggaz = rings. Look back at all the championship teams of the past few years. whether it was Bruce Bowen, James Posey, Robert Horry, Dennis Rodman, Horace Grant or whoever, they all had multiple dudes who’s job it was to do nothing but down and out dirty shit and get under the skin of the other team.
It became evident early on that the Lakers bench were a group of frightened puppies compared to the pitbulls on Boston’s squad. Posey & PJ Brown didn’t show up much in the stats, they just annoyed the shit out of lames like Farmar and Radmonovic. The most telling point of the series was when lil’ ol’ Sam Cassell slammed Sasha Vujacic A.K.A David Dallas to the floor and just laughed. In the final game while up by about 37, Big Baby ran the floor and stuffed in someone’s grill and Tony Allen caught a reverse alley-oop. The Celtics role players were ruthless. The Boston Three Party is no stranger to thoro’ness either. Between them they have been stabbed 11 times, repped Bloods on court, had a threesome in a Spike Lee movie, and named their dog Big Pun. So with that in mind, here are the two things L.A. needs to do next season…
1. Get a thug/thug’s
The Lakers need to do anything they can to get Ron Artest. He would be the perfect fit. Solves the confusion at small forward, can score sufficiently, exceptional on D, and crazy as fuck. Either him or give Kimbo Slice a one year contract. Even if he cant dribble a ball, his intimidation factor would suffice.
2. Embrace Compton, not Hollywood
The Celtics come out to 50 Cent, the Cavaliers come out to Jigga, the Lakers come out to…. The Who. Classic band but, when you rep the home of N.W.A and Death Row there are countless hits that I feel would top the CSI theme. Dre Day, Straight Outta Compton, Bow Down, Hit Em Up, the possibilities are endless. And fuck Beckham and Ashton Kutcher, how about Suge Knight and the Boo-Ya Tribe courtside.
props to Warren Green on the direction tip
Bit late for mothers day, but this lil’ dude is the mantis. Hes got swag out the wazoo and proves you don’t have to write tech to say some heartfelt shit.
Just got finished watching game 3 of the Boston vs Atlanta NBA playoffs series, which the ATL somehow won. Besides Josh Smith goin’ nuts and putting on his own personal 3 point shootout/dunk display, the real noteworthy part came in the dying minutes.
When the Hawks’ Al Horton hit a jumper to ice the game, he started shouting at Paul Pierce who was on the floor. Pierce got up, had the look of death on his face, walked over to the Atlanta bench and threw up the Bloods sign. I’m guessing the Celtics will come up with some excuse to cover it up, but I know P Double is from Inglewood and didn’t seem to be fuckin’ around. We all know Pierce is no stranger to drama either, as he got stabbed 11 times, supposedly by affiliates of nut-job Ray ‘Nail In The Coffin’ Benzino.
The other showdown has been LeBron James vs DeShawn Stevenson in the Cavs vs Wizards series. When the Wizards were down 20, Stevenson hit a three over James and for some reason blew his fingers to say ‘I’m hot bitches!” (S.M.H). He also said Lebron was overrated. James said him replying would be like “Jay-Z replying to Souljah Boy“, so Stevenson flew Mr. Tell Em’ out to sit courtside at game 3, which Washington won. Madness.
All thuggery aside, the First Round of the Playoffs has been interesting to say the least.
I’ve been bumping this C-Side - Boyfriend Girlfriend song for the last couple of months. Its like Pretty Ricky, Ghosttown DJ’s and Field Mob combined. I wondered why it was taking so long to put the clip out, but I see they’ve switched up and put Keyshia Cole on the hook. I liked the original chick better, but whatev’s, this’ll still run C4 Select Im guessing.
