Barack Obama: The American Dream
God, I hope he wins
Anyone else see this epic speech last night?
Barack Obama bashers will say that he didn’t provide enough specifics. I always thought speeches weren’t meant to be about dwelling on the “specifics.” If people are really looking for “specifics”, they might start by looking through the “Issues” section on his website, which provide detailed outlines of his stance on every major campaign topic, including some .pdf files running dozens of pages long. read more…

Greatest Sports Song Ever
I don’t care what anyone says. This remix by Ryan Howard & Jimmy Rollins is EPIC! I can’t stop laughing at this. My only question is where the Hell is Chase Utley? Maybe he shows up in the full version.
I heard A-Rod did a remix to this song last week. Unfortunately most of the song had lyrics from the Madonna song Vogue.

I Finally Understand…
Nas: N*gger Hater
I’m sure some people aren’t going to agree with this but oh well…
When I first heard Nas was trying to name his 9th album “N*gger”, I was turned off instantly. I refused to understand why someone would want to name an album such a foul word from America’s dark past, present and future. After listening to some of the cuts, I’m beginning to understand what the Queensbridge legend was trying to do.
There are people who wish to forget where the word N*gger came from and how it was originally used. Hell, there are people out there that don’t even know what the word means. The album is a constant reminder that this word and the people that use it to scar Black people will never go away. Nas wanted to name his album “N*gger” not to disrespect the Black race but to remind us that racism is still here. To be a voice for the ones that could not be heard. If you take the time to listen to the track I posted in this blog entry, you will understand.
The best way I can explain it is when someone is trying to break your spirit. The person might call you a certain name. When you break those mental chains you throw the word back at them to prove a point. That’s my personal opinion on why Nas wanted to give his new album the “N word” title. Racism will be handcuffed to America long after I’m dead and buried. What it has done is something that should not be forgotten. You can not fulfill the path of your future without knowing your past.
By naming the album (which is now untitled) the “N word” it instantly catches your attention and begs you to listen to what Nas has to say. Talking about racism is taboo, so many people will choose to hate on this album no matter the title.
The original title received support from Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Bishop Lamont, Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Rev Run, Common, Akon, Method Man, Lupe Fiasco, David Banner, GZA, and Melle Mel. Unfortunately Nas had no choice but to change the name. How ironic that everyone and their mother will stop at nothing when a Black man tries to call his album N*gger for a positive reason, but look the other way when Blacks act and talk like one in all of it’s stereotypical glory just to make a profit.
The album drops July 15.

Shaq Vs. Kobe: Return of Da Return
The classy individuals at TMZ have posted a video of Shaq ripping Kobe a new anus (or at least trying to) in New York. Those who thought this feud was done…THINK AGAIN!!
From TMZ.com
- Shaquille O’Neal took the mic at a NYC club last night, unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant — blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to “Tell me how my ass tastes.”
- After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”
- The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.
Lyrically the diss is weak, but it made me laugh. There’s something about a grown man asking another adult how his ass taste - that makes me chuckle. Personally I can’t wait for Kobe’s “Hit ‘em Up” response.
Kobe: That’s why I f*ck your bitch you fat motherf*cka.” Maybe put Pau Gasol on the hook, mmm mmm mmmmm. Instant classic.

Chad Johnson will punk you
Mr. Johnson pulled a dick move - but it was funny. Most pissed off athletes on Ocho Cinco’s level would have snapped at the reporter or just ignored him. Right now I don’t know what’s worse. All I know is somebody got punked!!!
But the message is clear. Chad Johnson is still not happy in Cincinnati. I wonder if Bengal fans realize this is only going to get worse.

Young Hillary Clinton: Now it all makes sense
I always wondered why Hillary Clinton chose to run a dirty campaign against Barack Obama. This video explains it all.
I’m gonna give Jerry O’Connell some props for this one. It’s a shame I still can’t get My Secret Identity out of my mind though. I’ve seen pornos with better story lines. As a matter fact I think I’ll go watch one right now…
