PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE



SO THE 2010-11 NBA SEASON IS OVER...DALLAS MAVERICKS FINALLY WIN THE ORGANIZATIONS FIRST NBA CHAMPIONSHIP.....THEY WIN ON THE ROAD....HAVE THE MOST SWAGGED OUT POST CHAMPIONSHIP CELEBRATION IN NBA HISTORY AT CLUB LIV THE SAME NIGHT AND HERE WE ARE..IN THE OFF SEASON...BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE MAVERICKS OR THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP....THIS IS ABOUT THE MAN MUCH OF AMERICA HAS COME TO LOVE TO HATE EVER SINCE HIS DEPARTURE FROM CLEVELAND...LEBRON JAMES....

AFTER 7 YEARS IN CLEVELAND AND NO CHAMPIONSHIPS HE DECIDED TO TAKE HIS TALENTS TO SOUTH BEACH ALONG WITH CHRIS BOSH TO JOIN DWAYNE WADE IN HOPES OF A CHAMPIONSHIP...DIDN'T PAN OUT BUT IT DID ELUDE TO A FINALS APPEARANCE WHICH MOST DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAPPEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON.  "THE DECISION" PRESS CONFERENCE WAS THE ONLY BAD MOVE HE MADE OUT OF THE WHOLE SITUATION IN MY EYES BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH OF A SLAP IN THE FACE TO PEOPLE TO SET OFF THE HATE/DISLIKE/DISDAIN ETC... FOR "KING JAMES"


 "THE DECISION" IN SHORT RESULTED IN...........



THE SPECTACLE THAT WAS "THE DECISION" WAS ONE OF THE MOST ILL ADVISED MOVES EVER, ALTHOUGH PEOPLE FORGET THAT IT DID SOME GOOD AS MONEY RAISED AS A RESULT OF IT WAS ALL DONATED TO THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB...BUT THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF HIM NOT DOING ANY THING RIGHT IN THE PUBLIC EYE.  SEASON AVG. OF 26.7PPG 7.5RPG 7.0APG WASN'T ENOUGH TO CALM THE CRITICS. NUMBERS SUDDENLY MEANT NOTHING, WHEN IT CAME TO LEBRON THAT IS.....HE ACTUALLY AVERAGED 23.7 THROUGH THE PLAYOFFS EVEN WITH HIS "DISAPPEARANCES" AT CRITICAL STAGES OF MANY GAMES....BUT THEN THERE IS THE FACT THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE ON THE FLOOR WITH HIM AS WELL BUT WHO CARES, LEBRON JAMES IS SUPPOSED TO PLAY ALL 5 POSITIONS....

NBA FANS VERBALLY CRITICIZE AND ATTACK HIM ALL SEASON...HE PUTS UP WITH IT, HIS MOM, MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN, ETC... EVEN BECOME SUBJECTS OF VERBAL ASSAULTS ON HIM...HE SEEMINGLY PUTS UP WITH IT.....FAST FORWARD TO GAME 6, DALLAS WINS, LEBRON IS AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE:



"AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SEE ME FAIL WILL WAKE UP TOMORROW AND HAVE THE SAME LIVE, SAME PROBLEMS"-LEBRON JAMES

HOLYYYYY SHITTTTTT DID HE PISS PEOPLE OFF WIT THAT ONE...I PERSONALLY THINK THAT WAS DOPE AS HELL AND WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME....AFTER OVER A YEAR OF BEING SCRUTINIZED, FROWNED UPON, VILIFIED LEBRON FINALLY STRUCK BACK AT THE HATERS...NOW IF YOU READ HE CLEARLY ADDRESSES THOSE WHO WANTED TO SEE HIM FAIL....SO IF IT DON'T APPLY LET IT FLY....I KNOW I HAD TO GET UP FOR WORK THE NEXT MORNING AND I DIDN'T FEEL OFFENDED...I AGREED WITH HIS STATEMENT...PEOPLE HATE THE MAN AS IF HE DID SOMETHING TO THEM PERSONALLY AND HAD A DIRECT AFFECT ON THEIR DAILY LIVES...AT THE END OF THE DAY HE IS HUMAN AND WAS BOUND TO SAY SOMETHING, WHAT PERSON CAN HONESTLY TAKE WHAT FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE WORLD GOING AGAINST THEM AND NOT SAY ANYTHING EVER IN RESPONSE?? DON'T WORRY, I'LL WAIT.............

HE STAYED QUIET HE GOT CALLED A SUCKER FOR NOT DEFENDING HIMSELF...HE STRIKES BACK AND NOW HES DISRESPECTFUL..THE SAME CRITICS ARE SENSITIVE NOW?? REALLY?? FIND THE CLOSEST HUG STATION YOU CAN BECAUSE APPARENTLY YOU NEED ONE IF THAT'S THE CASE

DON'T CRUCIFY THE MAN FOR DOING WHAT YOU BEEN DOING ALL SEASON AND TALKING HIS SHIT FOR A CHANGE...HE'S YOUNG, HAS A LONG CAREER AHEAD OF HIM, WILL WIN RINGS AT SOME POINT I'M SURE AND WE SHOULD ALL JUST ENJOY THE GAME....TOO MUCH EMOTION IN SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IS NEVER A GOOD THING......

AND WITH THAT BEING SAID.......................................


ENJOY YOUR DAY AT WORK..........*LEBRON VOICE*

DJ MISTER CEE PLEADS GUILTY







Popular Hot 97  radio deejay "Mister Cee" 'fessed up Wednesday to a penal code violation: receiving oral sex from another man in a parked car.
Cee, 44, whose real name is Calvin LeBrun, pleaded guilty to a charge of loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution offense.  He and his much younger companion, Lawrence Campbell, 20, were busted March 30 at 4 a.m. at Watts and West streets.
He was ordered to complete three months, or 12 sessions, of counseling with a doctor, officials said.
This was Cee's second conviction on the same charge. The music man was busted in lower Manhattan last Oct. 8 and pleaded guilty a month later, officials said.
Cee made a name for himself in the hip-hop world as Big Daddy Kane's deejay.  He later produced "Ready to Die," Notorious B.I.G.'s first album.
On Hot 97, he hosts "Throwback at Noon," a classic hits hour. At the time of his arrest a station manager told the Daily News the allegations were untrue.
Station officials did not return calls after his guilty plea.
His lawyer also could not be reached for comment.
Campbell, 20, who had no previous criminal record, was given an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal - meaning that if he stays out of trouble for six months, the case will be cleared from his record, officials said.

PUSH! MONTANA- FRESH DOPE BOY

SURGERY....BY @AL_PATRON

RECENTLY THE HOMIE AL PATRON WAS HOSPITALIZED AND HAD SUCCESSFUL SURGERY....HE WROTE ABOUT IT, I READ ABOUT IT AND NOW YOU CAN TOO.....CHECK IT OUT








"You can look me in my eyes, see I'm ready for whatever. Any thing that don't kill me, make me better...."



On Monday March 21st 2011 I had emergency surgery to repair a hernia which reoccurred a few weeks earlier. However this hernia was extremely dangerous as it caused me to be diagnosed with severe cases of colitis & pancreatitis which are the swelling of the large intestine & pancreas respectively. Though this injury & subsequent illnesses were not life threatening the complications from them were immense to the point where I almost lost my right testicle. I was told in 2008(when I had the 1st hernia procedure) that said hernia would mostly likely reoccur & when it did I had my surgery scheduled for the end of April '11 but on Thursday March 17th the 1st day of the NCAA Men's basketball tourney, I was in my office & just began vomiting out of nowhere. I decided to go home early & even took the next day(Friday) off in hopes it was just a 24hr bug but alas it was not. I began vomiting even more, usually your shoulders just become heavy when you throw up but these regurgitation's were violent. It felt as if my ribs were collapsing & I had absolutely no control of my bodily functions at this time. Still stubborn, I chose to stay home & in bed until Sunday when I woke up & could barely finish a glass of water without a reflux. Fast forward the 3hr wait in the ER, the physician & nurses I that attended to me all agreed that I had no option but to be operated on asap. Surgeon comes in after my CT scans & tells me my large intestine protruded my stomach in such a way that it was lodged in the top of my scrotum & entangled with my right scrotum & I had to sign a form of consent acknowledging I am coherent & agree to the terms of this surgery & possible subsequent ill affects. Surgery is performed & THANK GOD everything goes perfect. I wake up completely loopy from being drugged & all I remember asking is if I was alive. Very surreal feeling & moment that I will surely never forget. I woke up thinking I was dead, thankfully I am here & can't be convinced that there isn't a reason I am. Another proverbial bullet dodged. I was in the hospital for another week following the surgery, with scars on my groin & belly button from the incisions made during surgery. Parts of my body swollen & pain in those body parts I would not wish on anyone. However I couldn't find it in me to complain about anything because as the nurses were trying to help me regain my bearings & walk again(which I wasn't suppose to really do until 2 weeks after surgery but I'm a stubborn Haitian) there was an 8 year old girl with diabetes on my floor who had to get her foot amputated. The pain I saw in her parents face did more damage to me then anything physical could ever affect me. I don't have any children & if not for this surgery I might not have had any. "They" say God works in mysterious ways & selfishly I took this little girl's foot amputation as a sign that I need to settle down & build a family. I have my nephew & when I got out the hospital it hurt seeing him cry because I couldn't pick him up, so I could not even truly imagine what it would feel like having my own child, half my blood, body, mind & soul having to get anything amputated or worse. The whole process was just an eye opener for me. Seeing the ambulances, doctors & such just took me to the biggest regret of my life. My grandmother passed away in January of 2004 & I didn't go to the hospital when she passed because I couldn't "handle" it as if it was all about me instead of being there amongst my family. About 2 years later I got her name tattooed on my right hand because the last time I saw her alive I was carrying her down the stairs & I last touched her alive with my right hand, so THAT is why I have my hand tatted & my left hand reads RESPECT because in creole she would always say "Show Respect" or "Respect Yourself". It's crazy how one thing happens & you begin to reflect on everything in life & see shit a different way. Will I be a hypocrite, I'm sure I will sooner than later but I'm only human & I am making sure that I show appreciation to everybody & everything that I've come across in my life. I just ask that after reading this that everyone call, text or go see the people who you love & tell them because regardless of "what's understood, doesn't have to be said" those words hold weight & mean a lot & can change someones day around for the better. And to that little girl & her family though they won't read this, just know I won't ever complain about the trivial bullshit that consumes so many in every walk of life (no pun intended). I appreciate whoever took time out of their day to read this. I know there's a plan for me, as there is for all of us.

"......if God's with me who can be against me sucka, can't make me suffer, just make me tougher."

The book end quotes are from T.I.'s MOTIVATION off his 2004 album Urban Legend.

HIP HOP IS DEAD..PT.1






THE CURRENT STATE OF HIP HOP DEPRESSES ME MORE AND MORE ALMOST DAILY...THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF GOOD MUSIC (#NOKANYE) ARE A DISTANT MEMORY. I REMEMBER YEARS AGO MUSIC WAS GOOD TO THE POINT I WAS IN THE LOCAL MIXTAPE SPOT LITERALLY DAILY TRYNA GET THE NEWEST EXCLUSIVES, WAITING FOR THE DJ'S TO COME AND DROP OFF THE NEW SHIT....NOWADAYS MOST OF THE SHIT THAT'S OUT ISN'T EVEN WORTH A DOWNLOAD, THANK GOD FOR THE LISTEN NOW/PREVIEW FEATURE. THERE ARE SOOOO FEW ARTISTS WORTH LISTENING TO I FIND MYSELF STRAYING FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM THE GENRE. I COULD NEVER SAY I WOULD LEAVE IT ALONE COMPLETELY BUT I DEFINITELY DO FIND MYSELF TAKING BREAKS FROM IT NOW A LOT MORE. I GUESS A BIG PART OF IT IS DUE TO THESE NEW ARTISTS THAT ARE BEING ALLOWED IN AND MARKETED AS THE NEXT BIG THING WHEN THEY AREN'T WORTH THE PAPER THEIR CONTRACTS ARE DRAWN UP ON. THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW ARTISTS THAT DO DESERVE A FAIR SHOT BUT ITS ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW NOT HOW GOOD YOU ACTUALLY ARE THESE DAYS. AS A RESULT WE ALL HAVE THE DUDE(S) FROM AROUND THE WAY THAT SHOULD BE ON, SHOULD BE HEARD BUT AREN'T AND IN MANY CASES NEVER WILL BE, SAD BUT TRUE. I CAN'T PUT THE BLAME ON A PARTICULAR REGION, AREA, HOWEVER YOU PREFER TO SAY IT....IT'S JUST AS A WHOLE I THINK, LACK OF CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY AND MOST OF ALL TALENT....I GUESS BEING AS I'M A 80'S BABY AND WENT THROUGH WHAT MOST OF US CONSIDER THE GREATEST ERA OF RAP TO SEE IT WHERE ITS AT NOW IS A BIG PART OF THE DISDAIN AND DISGUST. I THINK THE DJ PLAYS A BIG PART IN IT, IF THEY DON'T PLAY IT DOESN'T GET HEARD IN GENERAL BUT THEY KEEP PLAYING IT WHILE THEY CLAIM TO HATE A LOT OF THE RECORDS BUT POLITICS AS USUAL, THEY GET THAT MONEY, THEY PLAYING THE RECORD.....ANOTHER THING IS THAT IT SEEMS ARTISTS NOW INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR OWN LANE ARE CHOOSING TO PICK A LANE THAT OTHERS HAVE ALREADY CREATED AND JUST FOLLOW SUIT...THE MORE THAT HAPPENS, THE MORE MONOTONOUS THE MUSIC BECOMES AND THE MORE HIP HOP CRUMBLES.....REMEMBER THE OLD ROC MIXTAPES, DIPSET MIXTAPES, G-UNIT MIXTAPES (JUST A COUPLE EXAMPLES) THEY ALL HAD THEIR OWN LANES RESPECTIVELY, AND THEIR OWN SOUND....NOWADAYS ITS FOLLOW THE LEADER...THIS IS JUST THE FIRST OF MORE RANTS TO COME ON THE TOPIC

LeapNYC Charity Event







This time of year you are usually greeted with an e-mail, tweet, BBM blast or face book message that includes a “Save the date” reminder for my May (5.2) birthday celebration. March madness commences with me contemplating a perfect venue, atmosphere and theme to make my birthday celebration memorable. Previous festivities were spent amongst friends, family, co-workers and my social networker’s enjoying each other’s company, good food and music but I’ve decided to add a twist to this year’s celebration that I would like to call “A Toast for a Cause”.

The catalyst behind this fundraising celebration is my fourteen year friendship with my right hand Ebony (ICandie_Eb). Through the years Ebony and I have experienced many triumphs and failures together that has strengthened our relationship and taught us so much about ourselves. Unfortunately, in 2004 Ebony lost her younger brother Neil “Noonie” Nichols to gun violence. Neil was 20 years young at the time of his passing and like many youth in our communities’ poor decision making and negative influences led to his untimely death. The idea for “A Toast for a cause” was born in my quest to honor the memory of all of our loved ones that we lost too soon to senseless violence. I teamed up with your favorite promoter Jay Gambino of TD Group and after researching and meeting with different charities we’ve decided to work with LeapNYC. (www.LeapNyc.Org)

LeapNYC is a not-for-profit educational services organization working with 450 schools, shelters and community organizations) for its work in developing and implementing innovative programs to stimulate curiosity, foster creativity, and improve students’ academic performance from PreK through High School. In addition to their work with children, they lead professional development workshops with teachers and facilitate parent engagement activities. Their programs are customized according to each classroom and the community needs. I believe their programs have a positive impact on the community and as such have decided to raise money and awareness to help them continue the great work.


So without further ado..

Sammerah in association with Jay Gambino & Leap NYC presents “A Toast for a Cause” When: Thursday, May 5, 2011 from 6pm-12am Where: Katra Lounge (217 Bowery Street) Admission Entry/Donation: Minimum $10 but additional donations are appreciated The proceeds from the event will be given as a donation to LeapNYC in Memory of Neil “Noonie” Nichols

A LeapNYC representative will be in attendance at this event to share additional information about their community work and programs
.
All who attend and donate will receive a complimentary ticket to The August Wilson Monologue competition on May 9, 2011 an event sponsored by LeapNYC with a panel of celebrity judges.

THE IRONY THAT IS SOCIAL NETWORKING AT A GLANCE...BY @BOBBYLIGHT4REAL



EVERYDAY WE ALL LOG ONTO OUR CHOICE OF SOCIAL NETWORK(S) TWITTER, FACEBOOK, ETC... THE COMMON MANTRA IS "IT'S ONLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT" OR "IT'S NOT REAL LIFE" YET DAILY WE ALL SEE PEOPLE EXHIBIT BEHAVIORS THAT SHOW IT'S MORE THAN JUST ENTERTAINMENT TO THEM AND IN MANY CASES THAT IT IN FACT IS REAL LIFE. I FIND IT HILARIOUS THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE PHONY, LIARS, FRONTERS AND THE LIKES BUT AT THE SAME TIME SAY THAT IT ISN'T "REAL LIFE" WHICH WOULD MORE OR LESS IN MY OPINION MAKE IT THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT TO CREATE AND PROMOTE THESE FALSEHOODS AND FALLACIES THAT PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT DAILY OR AT LEAST LEAVE ONE TO THINK SO, RIGHT?? SO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE EXPECT PEOPLE TO "KEEP IT REAL" ON THESE SOCIAL NETWORKS WOULD IN FACT MEAN THAT IT IS REAL LIFE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO PRESENT..."THE REAL".  THEN THERE IS THE GREAT OPINION DEBATE LOL EVERYONE IS OPINIONATED AND IT'S ALWAYS FINE AND GOOD UNTIL THEY DISAGREE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S OPINION...THEN THEY ARGUE AS IF IT'S FACTS VERSUS LIES, FORGETTING THAT THE KEY WORK IS "OPINION". EVERY ONE HAS THEIR OWN VIEWS AND OPINIONS ON ANY SUBJECT YOU COULD NAME SO THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG PER SE IN THESE SITUATIONS BUT THEY'LL ARGUE YOU DOWN TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE "OPINION" IS WRONG....ANOTHER FAVORITE IS THE "I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS" ATTITUDE, YET THAT SAME PERSON WHO SAYS THAT WILL GO ON A BLITZKREIG OF TWEETS FOR 1, 2 OR 3 HOURS EXPLAINING HOW THEY DON'T CARE BUT THE FACT THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO GO ON YOUR TIRADE SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY IN FACT DO CARE......THERE'S A NUMBER OF SCENARIOS AND EXAMPLES THAT COULD BE LISTED AND THIS BLOG COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT THOSE ARE JUST A FEW BRIEF POINTS THAT LEAD BACK TO THE TITLE OF THIS POST....THE IRONY THAT IS SOCIAL NETWORKING AT A GLANCE

HIP HOP & ETC.. IS CRITICIZED A LOT FOR MISOGYNIST LYRICS AND THE LIKES BUT THIS RECORD IS COMPLETE PEDOPHILIA BUT YET WENT ON AS A HIT RECORD...SAD BUT TRUE....TAKE A LISTEN AND SEE IF YOU PICK UP ON IT

THROWBACK OF THE DAY:NEW EDITION- IF IT ISN'T LOVE

NEW ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: DA KENNEL










Hot on the tail of the radio success of the new 
single "Dat's What I Do" featuring Travis Porter, which currently sits at 
number #48 on the Urban Radio Charts, Da Kennel has released a new viral 
video to increase the single's growing popularity.

Directed by BANK! and shot in their hometown of Akron, Ohio, Da Kennel is 
certain that this video will catapult the record to new heights and adds 
legs to their country wide movement.

Kennel member Mage explains: "We knew from the beginning how important it 
would be to quickly partner the single with a visual. At this point, 
everyone has been waiting for the video and we had to give our fans what 
they wanted. So, we shot it in a couple a days in our city and this is what 
came out of it."


Hailing from Akron, Ohio, Da Kennel is determined to put their city on map. As a nine -man collective compiled of 6 rappers and 3 in house producers, they have the breeding ground for something real and worth the listen. Bringing the heat with their scorching lyrics and tracks, they offer up a pool of talented individuals all focused on the progression of one sound. Already drawing comparisons to other all male collectives like the St. Lunatics, Wu Tang, and Slaughterhouse, Da Kennel looks forward to setting themselves a part and showcasing their talent.

Although the guys have known each for years, Da Kennel didn’t become official until a few years ago. While Unknown, Mage, Gram Citi, Skillz McNeilla, Kuntry, and Leland Ray bring out the groups lyricism; Dat Boi Pizz, Rip Rugga, and J.C. provide the music that allows them to showcase the bark and the bite that makes them Da Kennel.

Currently backed by Elite Music LLC, the release of their new mixtape Hood II Hood is due to give the streets exactly what they’ve been looking for.  With their new single “Model” continuing to receive spins and ads across the region and in the South, Da Kennel is positioned to aggressively stake their claim in the industry.
