"Raw-U" - Lil' Duval

Simp Anthems > Trick Anthems all day every day.

50 vs... well, you know the drill...

Curtis is back at it, with a thinly veiled Lil' Wayne diss then a tirade on the best ringtone rapper to put out two solid albums, Ricky Ross... SMH

Super Sonic Chucky Cheese (Charles Hamilton Diss) - Rhymefest

Echoing his interview with Saigon and released in the wake of Hamilton's failed battle challenge, 'Fest goes in on the New Jack.

Lil' Wayne - Prom Queen

We'll certainly discuss this one in a bit...

Crucial Conflict - Hay (In the Middle of the Barn)

The first video I ever loved.



Guilty pleasure? Perhaps... I had never smoked, and had no plans on it, but this song was like a live action Avengers, or Justice League in the sense that a group of guys who individually may or may not have constructed a good song teamed up to craft quite the hit. To this day, I know little to nothing about Crucial Conflict same for the fact that them niggas are Kunntry (word to Adam Hansen) and they love smokin' as it turns out, hay. Throw in an actual barn and a black cowboy (or is that cattleman historians?) and you have a hip-hop classic. Whats the first video that left you guys wanting more?

Can't stop, Won't stop.

You saw this coming...

Now, before I start, let me preface my words by saying maybe they went a bit too far. With that said, I must be fulla shit. Everything Young Jeezy and Hov said was a) artistic expression and b) no worse that all of the slurs, jokes and text messages I’ve heard and received while my dude was on the campaign trail. Since when was it a crime to verbally let out your frustrations? Nobody threatened Bush or tried to persuade anyone to cause him harm, just said that they were ready for a change. Then here comes old bitch-ass Bill O’Reilly runnin’ his mouth about equality and togetherness… this is the same guy who tried to throw Dame Dash under the bus for articulating the point that music isn’t to blame for people wylin’ out of their own free will… you know, that people are responsible for their actions? Nobody told George Bush to fuck off the economy, so now it’s wrong to point the finger at him? Sounds like some old bullshit to me. After that, he brings in Dennis Miller (whom I enjoy) to get a feel on whether Jigga and Jeezy’s words carry weight? Really, Dennis Miller? Who does he speak for? This is the guy who was too “funny” for Monday Night Football. Word? Here we see another one of O’Reilly’s failed attempts to lump give and in turn take away credibility to black entertainers i.e. rappers. Why can’t people like him accept that all artists, black or otherwise, are a bit eccentric and emotional so their opinions will always be a bit extreme? Oh yeah, I suppose that doesn’t really put butts in the seats… SMH…

Young Jeezy - My President is Black

It's almost that time folks...

You couldn’t make this up…

LONDON (AP) -- Singer Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in jail on Friday after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall in a London apartment.

And the hits keep coming. All you 80’s babies know a thing or two about the androgynous movement and the music that came as a result. Whether you were a fan or not, you’ve surely heard a joke or two at the expense of Culture Club's front man boy George aka heroin is my heroine. So apparently George, cracked out of his mind and well, in the mood (Pause) decided an escort for the night was in the cards. First and foremost, I’m no gay escort or anything, but it’s safe to assume that if you get called to um, escort at fuckin’ boy George’s crib, you are prolly in for some otherworldly shit. And both these niggas were apparently high as kites before um, they got down to business (Pause). And come to find out, he handcuffed and beat dude AFTER they had a nude photo session. My nigga, you ran up in the crib with Boy George, got naked for him then tried to run out when the shit got freaky? You were like, a topless pose too late for that. So anyway, BG (waaaaaaaa, check me out nigga!... had to do it) got 15 months in the pen for well, being Boy George with a dude who wasn’t into that shit… much. Lesson learned: next time pull an Eddie Murphy and get caught before you do some freaky shit… people will look at you funny, but not before they try to anally rape you.

Black Jesus!

Failure to Launch...

As an aspiring hip-hop artists, I take pride in my work, so naturally I'm flattered when my work is appreciated, especially by someone looking to help my career... But I'm not flattered when it's a part of something as bad as this... Look what popped up in your boy's myspace (myspace.com/chawktre8hustlaz) inbox...

... a record label fighting drunk driving... sounds good but you know a smart brotha like me does his research...

http://cdbaby.org/stories/07/07/26/3535977.html

what did i gather from all this? there are people out there low enough to not only steal from artists but to play off of the emotions of decent people... so I think I'll be telling dude thanks... but no thanks... I'm gone.

Big Game Boob. Yeah, I said it.

So it’s another year, another disputed national champ, and another BCS Bowl appearance that ended in failure for Bob Stoops. Go figure. The guy with an almost 83% winning percentage, year in and year out the best recruiting classes, and the offensive prowess of a damn assassin has yet again finished a season with a loss. On the other sideline, counterpart Urban Meyer has won two of the last three BCS national championships and produced a Heisman winner in Tim Tebow aka your Pastor’s favorite footballer.

To say Bob Stoops has been beaten in his last four BCS Bowl appearances would be too easy. Hey, someone’s gotta lose right? The problem here is that Bob Stoops has been flat out OUTCOACHED in his last four big games. In the ’05 national championship game, his Sooners were led by “I’ll never make it in the league” Jason White and then freshman man-child Adrian Peterson. If not for Ashlee Simpsons horrid halftime performance, this beat down would have stole every headline for the next year. The Sooners were not only destroyed but appeared to have no clue what the other team was doing for the whole game. They couldn’t block, run, pass or tackle. But all the would-be reporters and Sports writers said that was one of the greatest teams of all time… Till OU’s Big 12 south rival Texas closed the book on them the next year.

Their next appearance was the ’07 Fiesta Bowl against then unknown Boise State, a team whose claim to fame was their infamous Blue Turf. Adrian Peterson was still in the mix, as was a ferocious defense and a dominating o-line. As innovative as that Boise State Offense was, they shouldn’t have been able to hang with that much talent. Again, preparation seemed to hurt the Sooners as they were disposed of in overtime. The Sooners returned to the Fiesta Bowl last year and faced West Virginia, the option run team that was a single quarter away from the national championship game. Led by the dual threat of Pat White and Steve Slaton, they were the most exciting spread option team in the nation, and proceeded to roll the Sooners in what was considered to b the upset of the year.

So before we look at this year’s game, let’s run down the last three:
2005 Orange Bowl: Oklahoma 19 USC 55
2007 Fiesta Bowl: Boise State 43 Oklahoma 42
2008 Fiesta Bowl West Virginia 48 Oklahoma 28

So this year’s game was gonna be different right? Heisman Trophy Winner? Check. High Powered Offense? Check. Ball hawking defense? Check. The only problem is, like every other year, the team that shows up in January isn’t the same one that showed up all season. Not to knock any of those teams, especially Florida (CONGRATS!!!) but with the exception of Boise, maybe, they are not playing the same teams they same on tape. Remember the hurry up offense OU ran all year? Disappeared. Remember that balanced running attack that they developed after the Texas game? Went away from it in the second half. Granted, the defense did force a few turnovers, but bonehead mistakes from guys who didn’t make them all year stopped a few drives. How is that nota coach’s fault? HOW? If your kids don’t show up to play year in and year out, eventually it’s on you. Stoops have evolved into the collegiate level Marty Schottenheimer. You can coach, yeah, but when the lights go on, well, you don’t.

Simply put, yeah, dude can coach… for a solid 13 games a season.

My city screams ... for their money back.

For a guy who at least tolerated every movie he's ever been to (except The Village, but come on) I was more uspet that I didn't like the movie than at the fact that it was bad. I've been collecting comics since I was nine, and after seeing Sin City and 300, I was certain this would be another hit adaptation. Boy was I wrong. The plot is simple enough: Deceased cop Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) is mysteriously brought back to life as the Spirit, Central City's all too public masked avenger. He exists as the stuff of every woman's fantasy, particularly that of the police commissioner's daughter and resident doctor Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson). Her lover in life, he now exists almost as a shadow to her in the sense that she can never get a hold of him for herself (I mean he's a hero right, so the chickens stay steady clucking) Samuel L. Jackson plays the ultra-flamboyant Octopus, who spends the film toying with the Spirit and revealing the secret as to why he can take so much punishment (i.e. being hit repeatedly with a toilet). We also explore the troubled relationship between The Spirit and Sand Saref, played by Eva Mendez.

The problem with this movie is that it looks great. This movie in many ways outdoes 300 and Sin City, combining the former's brilliant colring wit hthe latters grit. For all of this glitz and glamour, the movie is bogged down by over the top dialogue and misunderstood motivations (double crosses when double crosses don't benefit anyone). If I wasn't out getting my Huey surname on (trust me) this would hav been a complete waste of time... except for that Paz Vega... I mean, it's not like i had'nt seen Eva Mendez's um.. goods before... but yeah... Paz brief time as Plaster of Paris make for at least some good youtube material... Scarlett Jonahsson was good as well, being the character who actually seemed to have some reason behind her actions (school loans anyone?) but other than that and the Wolverine preview this was a waste of good scenery.

Score: 4/10

1st and foremost...

Welcome to South Kongress! The names C-Hawk, and my aim is to relate the news to the masses... however the hell I feel like it. With that out of the way, I'll be talking about it all, from music to sports, television to movies, and politics (when my dude B-Ray guest blogs) I'll also keep you guys informed on when I have a show coming up or a new song out there on the 'nets... I'm real sure the very first thing I'll talk about is tonight's BCS national championship game, but I may wait till after the smoke has lceared to vent about how my Longhorns (hook 'em) got left out of this year's finale...

So here's to the future...
