G.O.O.D
"You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning." - Billy Wilder
If you don't have dreams, you're nothing more than a walking empty soul. You should always aspire to attain a higher level of success that you've previously accomplished. There's nothing wrong with wanting more. Don't live vicariously through anyone else. It is misleading, and can be deadly. That's their path and much like them, your journey is not for others to understand; therefore, carve your own lane with your own aspirations, and make sure they're huge. It's as simple as being a leader, and not a follower. Be the head, not the tail. Set the bar high, but make sure you lay a solid foundation that will stand the test of time, and be able to assist each following footstep. Enable yourself to be a catalyst for a fellow dreamer who may not realize the power that they possess.
Dream, and dream big. Dream SO big that you even surprise yourself with your success. Reach for the unfathomable. Not only is it inspirational and motivating to you, but it could very well be the confirmation and direction needed for others. Allow the praise & accolades you achieve to be just another rung on the ladder of successful progression for those who come after you. Dream just as you fly in an airplane, above the clouds...WAY above the clouds. Never sell yourself short, nor your dreams. Aim to be bigger and better than somebody you admire and respect. With motivation, and dedication & most importantly preparation, any and everything you set out to do is possible. Follow your dreams to see how far they take you. If the endpoint you reach is not the destination you're looking for, dream bigger and better.

Would You Try One?
In 2003, Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth placed about 50 handgun replicas in downtown Frankfurt. The guns were made from tinted ice, making them look real at first sight. In 2009 they did a new edition of their Freeze! project but made the guns edible by using coke, licorice, cherry and food coloring.

Big K.R.I.T - My Interpretation
My Interpretation
Here's the latest track from my new favorite rapper, Big K.R.I.T. Mississippi's own produces his own beats, and most importantly spits that shit, channeling an inner Chad Butler on the boards and in the booth (with all due respect of course). He's already worked with all the hottest artists right now from Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Smoke DZA, Nipsey Hu$$le & others. Check the album. It's right behind The Roots' - How I Got Over for Album of The Year. (in my humble yet arrogant opinion of course)

Kanye West- Power remix (feat. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz)
FINALLY, after saying it would be here LAST Friday!
(Kudos to Swizz Beatz for using the Snap!- Power sample.)
The song should speak for itself, but just in case it doesn't, peep...
Jigga gave Kanye a big brother-esque heart to heart about life.
"Rumble young man rumble
Life is a trip, so sometimes we gon' stumble
You gotta go through pain in order to become you
But once the world loves you, you'll feel like it's only one you
Now you got the power to do anything you want to
Until you ask yourself, is this what it's all come to?"
Kanye gave a smooth transition verse before wrecking his last verse.
"What do it mean to be the boss?
It mean second place is the first one who lost
The crucifixion, to being nailed to the cross, truth or fiction?
It's a hell of a cost. Do the dishes.
I'm bout to hit that Jeff Gordon
Michael Jordan the only one more important
but I be feeling like Jordan when I'm recordin'
cuz every time I record, I dunk & slap the boards"

Hate on it if you want to, but you're only wasting your time.

The Boondock Education
White imperialism is just as rampant as ever. Every episode shows the white man one-upping black folk, in one way or the other. Don’t believe us? Examine the season finale of the show’s third season where the corrupt realtor Ed Wuncler, Sr., Gin Rummy and his grandson Ed Wuncler III walk away… no harm, no foul, after plotting a terrorist attack.
2.
Colorism is still a hot button issue. Look at all of the women that granddad has eloped with or has taken out on nice candle lit dinners. They all have one thing is common: they are all racially-ambiguous, slim, light-skinned women with straight hair. Another example, anything that comes out of Uncle Ruckus’ mouth.
3.
It’s even harder when you’ve made it. Notorious B.I.G. had it right the first time, “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.” Robert Freeman took his boys Huey and Riley out of the ghetto and brought them to Woodcrest, getting them away from the noise and the peril of the inner city. But constant pressures from egotistical Hurricane Katrina injured kinsfolk, rowdy ghetto blaster jamming gangsta rappers and nosy neighborhood watch creepers, its hard to really too keep your head up when everyone around you is trying to bring you down.

"Academic Probation" Lega-c (Review)
Lega-c's fans have patiently waited for the release of "Academic Probation" which is his sophomore release. If you've followed Lega-c from his first release, "The SmarTrip Chronicles Vol 1" you'll hear his growth. Lega-c teamed up with a few good producers and Dj Dublee to put this 12 track "story line" together. This is definitely worth your download and the space on your iPod.

Bedroom Intruder Song
Remember that very hilarious video of a brother talking to TV news reporter about a rapist who climbed into his sister’s window at night? Well, it’s been turned into a very catchy song.
