!!!TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY!!!

Now, we all know that my hip hop repetoire may not be as large as Charity's [check the FIRST "For What It's Worth" to hear the story] but it's pretty damn good considering what some other people's are so I gotta admit that I'm not really HIP to all things GHOSTFACE/Pretty Toney, but I know that he's TYTE, cool as hell/interesting, dangerous [literally], has a HUGE following, and that he can't speak "good english" wortha lick so I figured the best way to introduce his latest album [DROPPING THIS COMING TUESDAY] was to show his lighter more funny side in order to encourage those who may be scared shitless of him [like myself when I met him] to explore and get an idea of what he's about so without further ado..."THE WORLD ACCORDING TO PRETTY TONEY":

BONUS TRACK: Check out the kid ;-) hey, I may not know my hip-hop but I know a legend when I see one :-P BIIIIIITCH!

p.s. If you want any more detail about this jt. you better hope/pray or ASK that Charity do a review on it LOL cuz you will be STORONLY disappointed effin w/ me :-P

Wanna be startin somethin? Well...you done did it!

Im an 80s baby...ah yes, the wonderful decade that brought us such things as Reaganomics, Hip Hop, Crack Cocaine...and yes, the solo career of one Michael Jackson. 25 years ago tomorrow Michael Jackson released Thriller

1.  Wanna Be Startin Somethin?

2.  Baby Be Mine

3.  The Girl is Mine ft. Paul McCartney

4.  Thriller ft. Vincent Price

5.  Beat It ft. Eddie Van Halen

6.  Billie Jean

7.  Human Nature

8.  P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)

9.  The Lady in my Life

Who can forget the video/mini movie thriller

and the interpolations on the classic original...here are some of my favorites;

Bollywood Thriller

Lego Thriller

25 years later, the album itself still bangs AND consider how many times the tracks have been sampled; I can't count but the most recent that comes to mind is Kanye's sample of P.Y.T for the song Good Life. Emcees always reference Mike and Thriller; again, there are too many to name but most recently Jay-Z's reference in American Gangster "Now they wanna ya boy like Mike in his prime/Billie Jean the goddamn boy ain't mine"...Anyway

I guess in "celebration" of the 25th anniversary of the release of Thriller; Akon has decided to try to cover "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin" (I heard he was asked to do this by Michael Jackson himself so...i will keep my comments to myself) Just click, listen and laugh/cry/dance/sing along/shake your head in shame/ and then play it again (cause its catchy!)...

YOU AINT GOT THESE!!

Sneakerheads should already know the deal about these so for the rest of yall, let me give some background.  This is a supercolabo from SBTG, Mr. SK and DRS to bring this super exclusive collection.  Only 12 pair released; 6 Dunk High and 6 Air Force One Low...that means WORLD WIDE.  If I wasn't on my sneaker hiatus...i woulda prolly found a way to justify spendin the $600 on them but...common sense told me not to.  They shooooll is pretty though...check it out

Round the Way

So I get an email from my stylist (shout out to Tish and social butterfly) and she wants me to find this shirt that says "Fendi bag and a bad attitude"...so i got on it...AND I FOUND IT

Not only did i find the tee...i found out that there's something on the BACK too.  Anyway the shirt is by the clothing company darkhorse; check em out.  AND, speaking of "around the way;" theres only a few places you can cop this shirt in the world; i suggest solemates in Chicago; you can even call in and make orders 773-327-7782...tell em we sent you.  OH YEA...if you dont know what all the rave is about the words on this tshirt..KILL YO'SELF...PAUSE...watch the video first, and if you still don't get it; proceed with the suicide.

Where I SHOULDA been

So...I'm here in nowheres-ville Texas analyzing data tables and unstandardized coefficients and I should be here...

As you may or may not know; my current research is about Hip Hop so I shoulda been in that cipher for sure.  Its cool though...NEXT YEAR THEY'LL BE INVITING ME TO SPEAK AT IT
