Rihanna+Jeezy "Hard" Video

This sh*t is def. hard! At first I wasn't feelin' it because I didn't think it fit her. After hearing it a few more times I accepted it.

Throwback : Big Tymers - Get Your Roll On

Wiz Khalifa "Material" Video

Me personally, I think Wiz is an okay rapper. People be like Wiz is nice & all that but I think he's fueled by his production. The beats make him. Don't get me wrong, he's ok to listen to but he will never earn heavy rotation in my media player.
This joint is pretty nice though.

Rihanna's New Tattoo

OK magazine got pics of a new tat that Rihanna very recently got done. The new ink reads t "Never a failure, always a lesson" in gray ink just below her collarbone and is written as a mirror-image. I guess so when she looks in the mirror she can see it and reflect upon the whole Chris Brown incident. But I don't see how getting beat is a failure, it's just not the right word.

Whatever the case, this seems like nothing but a permanent publicity stunt in my opinion, but that's how she's feeling I guess so I support her, and those are words to live by!

Album in Stores December 14th

Is that you Nicki Minaj?

Ok, so apparently Nicki Minaj the Harajuku Barbie was once a Ken Doll! haha Low blow, I already know! But rumors as well as a viral video are circulating with an alleged Nicki looking less than feminine to say the least. Now I remember reading an interview about Nicki somewhere where she said she used to dress like a boy and wasn't really into to the girly-girl thing BUT being a tomboy and being a stud are two different ballgames in my opinion! She took to TWITTER basically dismissing the video as rumor but how could anyone deny that squeaky ass voice. Idk if it's her or not but watch the video below and decide for yourself!

The Game x Star Trak

The Game is kinda bugging in my opinion when son decided to get the Star Trak logo inked on his arm for Pharrell's sake. I mean Pharrell is not getting G-Unot tatted on him! lol But anywho, apparently P. Willy is executive producing his new album an he thinks that's worthy of a permanant place on his body! Read what he had to say to Rap-Up magazine below and see how you feel about the whole situation. The Game's R.E.D. Album is due in stores February 16th.


“Pharrell’s gonna take my career to the next level, keep me ’hood and cross me over at the same time by executive producing my album, so that’s how I show my loyalty,” Game told Rap-Up.com of his new tat. “Pharrell is my friend. We’ve created a work bond and established a friendship. Star Trak is gonna make me money in the future—that logo, that brand, that man helping me. That’s something that’s gonna put milk in my refrigerator and help me feed my kids, keep them in private school, and keep them doing what they do.”

Pleasure P Does the MOST!

I'm sure by now you've all heard of the child molestation accusations raised against ex-Pretty Ricky member Pleasure P aka Marcus Cooper or whatever you wanna call him. It was some foul shit! WELLLLL he's released an official statement via his website saying that all the rumors were false! READ IT HERE to have a look-see for yourself. The thing that got me was WHY would anyone make something up as terrible as molesting your four and five year old niece and nephew? Like that's reallyyyyy sick and his own bro co-signed in a way the validity of the story on twitter.

Today's doing the most award goes to Pleasure P and Spectacular of Pretty Ricky.

If all else fail then go to Flatspot or Ubiq Life as a last resort.

Chip Tha Ripper "The Cleveland Show" Mixtape

I first heard Chip spit on a track called "Next Up" featuring Mickey Factz, Naledge(from Kidz In The Hall), & Mic Terror. I was feelin' his flow so I kept an eye out on him & took time out to listen to his solo tracks that hit the blogs. So here he is today w/ I think his 3rd mixtape & I really enjoyed it. He doesn't really have that "wow factor" but he got a flow & you can zone out to him.

Despicable Me Trailer 2

I remember doing the original post of the first trailer, so you know I'm amped to post the part two! This movie is gonna be some ill shit! The plot revolves around the world's #2 super villain, Gru, as voiced by Steve Carell trying to one-up the #1 super villain. Who cares about a hero right?!

Snoop f/ Brandy and Pharrell

I'm feeling this! It's not just my Pharrell bias either lol. Uncle Snoop is the homie and Brandy adds something to this song that no one else could in my opinion. This joint will be included on Snoop's new album Malice in Wonderland which I believe drops on the 8th of this month. I approve.

Chris Brown - Graffiti Preview

We've been hearing a lot about Chris Brown in the media lately but it hasn't been about music per se....however today a leak for his new album Graffiti has been posted. After giving it a quick listen I must say that I'm more than a bit disappointed in what I'm hearing and I'm a bit of a Chris Brown stan! I was THOROUGHLY disappointed in the album artwork and I'm kinda sensing that the wackness of the artwork reflected the album. Maybe it's one of those things that just has to grow on me. As of yet I'm not feeling it though!

My pick off the album is Famous Girl

Have a listen for yourself HERE

Victoria's Secret Fasion Show is Toooo-Niiiighttt!

Today is World Aid's Day

Its dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic and the huge impact that HIV has on our society. If you want to learn more about getting tested, what you can do to support the cause, or just general information you can visit the official website HERE

GUESS WHOSE BIZZACK!

SOOOOOOO after being M.I.A. for a matter of months I've decided to get my ass off of twitter and back in to this blogging shit at the behest of the homie G-Eazy, who is ohhhhh so inspiring! I decided to drop this post about Iron Man 2 which is coming out over the summer. From the looks of the photos and the promotional poster they dropped today on IMDB it should be pretty damn live. HOWEVER I'm a bit confused about the roles of Don Cheadle and what part War Machine will have in the film. I've been hearing all kinds of shit about him playing Justin Hammer who if your on your Marvel comics shit is a Bad Guy. Personally, I was a big fan of Terrance Howard as Rhodey so they'll have to win me over with this one. We shall see.....

Anywho, I'm back...tryna get this nigga Rich to get back on it with me but he's ignoring my fb chat lol I'll call him when I get home lol

Signed,

Vick.
