Paul Krugman on The Young Turks

Movie: Talk To Me

This movie is a great film. This movie is a time capsule. This movie has sent a standard that I think most people won't be able to reach. I should really learn to write this stuff down. Right after watching the movie, during the movie and when I first saw the trailer I had soooo much to say... now all I can think is BLAH,BLAH, BLAH.

I think Petey is how most rappers are. I'm the manager telling everybody that its more then rap and I read so much into the lyrics when half of these rappers are saying exactly what they mean. Is it their fault that I over-analyzed everyone of their lyrics or is it my fault for wishful thinking.

The part that got me is when dude said "You do the things I scared to do and I do things your scared to do." When I hear a HOT VERSE half the time I probably change the meaning of what rappers say 90 percent of the time. Maybe that's because I have something to say but I'm scared to say it....hhhmmm. DEEP!!!! lol.

This movie is probably going to be another overlooked classic by both whites and blacks. Something the Lord Made & Pride are prime examples of how great movies are not appreciated. But we tend to run to the movies to see ghetto-esque or Tyler Perry flix. Where are the films which show our children a point of pride. These two movies are just plain great film making and it hurts when neither side will watch because they assume its for the "other man".

If you've never seen these three movies please go pick them up. You will feel a whole lot better about the state of black americans in hollywood.

Video: R.K.M & N´Klabe- Ya no Estas

I'm started to feel as if reaggton is dying out and I think it's for the better. Now we can weed out the wack sh" and focus on some good artist. Salsa artist are dropping a lot of new stuff. I don't really care for post mid 90's artist so hopefully the reaggeton artist can help them out. I think Tego should start producing salsa because he know what I like...lol.

Talib Kweli Presents: Blacksmith TV Ep 1 "Brooklyn's Changed

O Jerusalem

Me and Draco went to see this movie yesterday. I couldn't really get into the story. I don't think they had enough character development. The three friends I guess was supposed to show three different view points of people. The Muslim, the angry Jew and the peace hopeful American Jew.The Muslim guy (see don't even remember his name) was getting sh**ted on the whole movie. The angry Jew didn't like nor care for the Muslim but the American tried to make friends of them. The muslim pissed me off with him being so f'ing passive. I wanted him to once get out-raged. If anything this movie gives people a subject for discussion. I was thinking how I feel most Americans don't think about what has or what is happening on the other side of the world. The harmful thing about that is that for the most part Americans are lambs and if someone they follow has an opinion on it they will have the same opinion. No research or trying to find out why things are the they way they are. I have no real opinion on it because I think mostly all the things written on it is sided.

What I do know is that I feel bad for what the Jews endured during the Nazi era. But I also feel bad for the Muslims who lived in Palestine and got the boot because America said so... That's about all my ideas about it in a nutshell. Hopefully a good filmmaker will watch this and have the ballas to try and do it better.

Gear: BLACK LIGHTNING

This is the brainchild of Mr. Ian Ginoza and his long time friend, and champion bike rider/builder and all-around good dude, Kevin Lau.BLACK LIGHTNING is the embodiment of all bike culture (BMX, track bikes, cruisers...uh, unicycles), but at the same time, it's also about originality, individuality and being up on your own style. It's not metal, it's not hip-hop, it's not punk rock, it's not reggae, it's not hardcore, it's not a massive dirt step up, it's not being cool, it's not grinding a ledge, it's not a 540 manual, it's not about the latest trends.

Aurora Jolie

HAHA! I NEVER put up pictures of women or talk about the countless hours I watch or look at half naked women online (;OP) but I think Aurora is one of the most beautiful females on the planet. I know people have their own opinion on the Porn world and I'm not one to talk about it to outsiders but there was a point where I knew every porn actor by name...lol. Women tend to act disgusted by it and I know a couple of dudes that aren't into it (weird) but to each his/her own. Personally it was just part of life. I have always- at some point in a relationship asked my partner about the subject and never hid the fact that I watch it. I know a lot of dudes that hide the fact in front of women. I think you can watch it without be obsessed by it.

Ladies- if it wasn't for porn most men wouldn't know what to do..haha.

Trailer: Pete Seeger: Power of Song

PETE SEEGER: POWER OF SONG, the only authorized biography, Jim Brown documents the life of one of the greatest American singer/songwriters of the last century. Pete Seeger was the architect of the folk revival, writing some of its' best known songs including "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "If I Had A Hammer." Largely misunderstood by his critics, including the US government, for his views on peace, unionism, civil rights and ecology, Seeger was targeted by the communist witch hunt of the Fifties. He was picketed, protested, blacklisted, and, in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from American television for more than 17 years. With a combination of never-before-seen archival footage and personal films made by Seeger and his wife, PETE SEEGER: POWER OF SONG chronicles the life of this legendary artist and political activist. The film serves as testament of Seeger's belief in the power of song above all else and his conviction that individuals can make a difference. Musicians including Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Natalie Maines, Tom Paxton and Peter, Paul and Mary appear in this intimate portrait and discuss Seeger's lasting influence on the fabric of American music. PETE SEEGER: POWER OF SONG was directed by Jim Brown and produced by Jim Brown, Michael Cohl, and William Eigen and executive produced by Norman Lear and Toshi Seeger

Friday night @ Novo 10/19/07

Me, sangre and draco went to Division East in Montclair NJ to check out the Upper Playground event but by the time we got there it was over. They did an ill ass drawing of the Store's mascot but I didn't have a camera to take a pic. From there we stopped by Cafe Eclectic for a Cuban Sandwich (which are now the best ones in nj for me). Diva's Lounge was going to have the Upper Playground crew go there but we decided to go to Novo in NYC. On fridays King Stampede & Mighty Healthy do it big in there. Like a fan boy I was rocking my Mighty Healthy tee to rep. LOL...


"Did you see that chick?"

"I'd do her!"

I swear I have a lip problem

Now that's what you call MEANMUGGIN'


This is the most I've seen Draco drink in a minute.

My bottle is THAT small... BAH!! Made you look

This pic is kinda dark but shorty was looking right... looked like she was with a large crowd so I didn' push up... YEAH RIGHT! Yall know I'm a punk..lol

Hi Haters!LOL.. I'm not always in HOOD mode!

Loved the artwork for this flyer.. what event the flyer was for??? who knows..lol. But from the looks of it probably something to do with King Stampede & Mighty Healthy.

Doesn't the hand on my lap look like a pig's foot...lol
