Lakers win 16th NBA Championship

Last night the Los Angles Lakers won their 16th NBA Championship in what was one of the sloppiest games I've ever see. However; they came away with the win over the Boston Celtics. You would think that W would be the highlight of my night, with me being a Laker fan and all but no, what came after the game really did it for me.

Check out Ron Artest's interview after the game was over.

Jail.. good look or bad look for rappers?

There once was a time in this hip hop era when having TALENT and a gift of rapping had you on your way to star status. Somewhere over last decade and a little before, rappers buzz started being on the level of thugness you could show, and JAIL was a major factor. This however doesn't work for everyone, but for some, being locked up behind bars for 6-12 months have been the best thing that could happen to a career, next to being placed on a 'WOW:Now thats what I call music project.'

Take Gucci Mane La Flare.
After Gucci spent some time in the joint, his buzz was big as ever. He had a few tracks before he was locked behind bars but cats really paid him no attention from what I could see. As his time came closer to being served, what I would describe as Gucci-Mania took place. Every song released by this guy was a classic club banger. From sold out shows to packed concerts, Gucci even became listed No. 6 on MTV's list of the hottest rappers. In this case, jail was a GREAT LOOK for the rapper.

However things don't always pan out this way just from doing a little time in the bing. Take Lil Kim for example. After doing his year and a day, she was released to many welcome homes but not many head nods to her music at all since then. Even lately she has been spotted taking shots at Nicki Minaj, stating that she needs to pay homage to her. Tough luck, make a hit or shut up.

Another mishap from jail recently and one of THEE MOST sadest situations would have to be Shyne. Yes, Mr. Jamal Barrow himself. Once labeled as the NEXT Biggie. After serving time upstate for being Diddy's "throw on me" guy, he returned to the states, for a brief moment before being deported, and got right back to the music. Only thing is now everything he released has been HORRIBLE. What happened to this guy? What happened to these two and Im sure their are others.

We are now in the wake of other rappers who are getting out of jail. T.I. for one, Mystikal another. Lil Wayne a lil later this year. What do you think will become of their POST-Jail careers? Better or worse than when they went in? If you ask me, jail isn't worth the buzz. I've never been but I've heard stories, haha!

Keep those bars, I'm good with mine!

Brian Ennals - Self Titled

I must admit I deserve more than a #latepass for sleeping on this project. Going through some of my favorites from Twitter earlier, I ran across a link that I had saved from @bease which included his mixtape. Usually I get mixtapes and toss them to the side, but this one has officially made me put Drake's Thank Me Later to the side for a minute or two just to see what this mixtape sounds like. What has me interested you ask?

Just listen to how he goes in over this Exhibit C instrumental:

Convinced yet? I am, I'll be back with an update after I've finished the mixtape.

day dates > night dates

..the other day I tweeted that day dates were better than night dates. I had a few people ask why. To my surprise, even one of my followers had NEVER went on a day date. Really this is no surprise to me, I should have been able to tell because all she does is participate in #twitterafterdark so I should have known better. Back to the subject at hand, I decided I would post some of the reasons I preferred day dates over night dates, and here are a few reasons:

- Most day dates gives you the opportunity to talk, to find out more about the person you are with. Its the openess of the situation that gives you this advantage.

- Many day dates are short and to the point. Whether is a walk in the park, picnic, museum, etc. They are usually over in a matter of 2-3 hours as to dates at night where dinner and movies are involved.

- Disagree if you want, but I think day dates are MORE romantic than night dates. I would take a picnic in a cool spot under an oak tree before I would take a meal at home, but then again that's just me.


Sure the "invite over" night date could be fabolous. I have had a few of them as well. I'm not knocking them at all, they really are awesome but I find myself either thinking 'when is she leaving' or 'when are we fcuking?" These are just my thoughts though, please tell me what you think.

Mark Milly releases #FuckMarkMilly: the brief-tape

The homie Mark Milly comes outta nowhere and drops this "brief-tape" out of nowhere, following up his last project Memory Loss, which was known as a classic to some.
On #FuckMarkMilly, Mr "Who Tweetin" once again shows his versatility on every track. Earlier in the month Mark Milly joined Candice Nicole PR's roster which was a major move and goes to show Milly is still hard at it.
Keep an eye on this guy, no really.. I mean keep a close eye on him, here's his twitter, stalk him if you have to..
