GEEQUE '11: THE YEAR IN PICTURES

In the next couple of hours (or days, for some of you poor, unfortunate souls), you will be bombarded on Facebook or Twitter by a bunch of statuses or tweets proclaiming how some douchebags are happy that 2011 is over & can't WAIT until the new year starts so they can be a 'new' them & maybe even have their luck change for the best. Newsflash, assholes: It's not happening. If you're the same shithead in 2012 that you were in 2011, the new year is gonna suck for you at least as much as the last one, if not more.

My point is that I will not be one of those assholes. 2011 has been a phenominal year, one that I may even have to rank as top 5 all time in my life. I know, who gives a shit. But it's the truth. After a few years of living a monotnous (yet very blessed) life, '11 was the year where I shook the game up. Lots of positive changes (like starting this blog!), tons of new experiences, same awesome me. Ok, I probably could've done without the last part, but overall, a great year for your boy.

I realize that despite the amazing power of words, that power is painfully limited. So I have decided to sum up my year with some flicks so you can join me on recapping the year that was 2011, GeeQue style!

Senior Citizen Ex-Football Star RUMBLE

Joe Kapp & Angelo Mosca were not only CFL stars in their hayday but also fierce rivals. Fast forward a few decades & they meet again at what was supposed to be a peaceful CFL Alumni Legends Luncheon.

Earlier this month, I posted a clip of an adorable, lil girl who was overwhelmed w/ joy over a suprise trip to Disney World. Well, here is the ying to that yang.

1 Marine vs. 30 Cops (Occupy Wall Street)

I'm sure by now, especially if you live in the NYC area, you're well aware of the Occupy Wall Street movement. While a lot has been written about it, this clip is more powerful than words could ever be. Whether you agree w/ the actions of the protestors or not, you have to find at least some truth in this veteran's statements.

My favorite commercials

I don't watch too much TV. I also own a DV-R (oh, I'm fancy, huh). The combination would make it seem that I live a commercial-free life. However, due to my love of live sporting events, sometimes visual ads are impossible to avoid.

Throughout the year, there have been more commercials than usual that have caught my eye. Mainly, they fall into the comedy category. Most hollywood movies can't make me laugh so if you can achieve this feat within a 30 second window, you deserve some sort of recognition. That recognition begins now.

Here are my five favorite commercials of the year so far (that I can remember)!

The first ad is actually the one that sparked the idea for this blog. After watching it, I thought to myself, 'a blog about my favorite commercials out seems like a complete & utter waste of time. Let's do it!' And here we are. It's for Mentos Up2U gum, a pack of gum with two different flavors in it. Not only am I a huge gum addict but I can appreciate anything with a clever usage of the classic 'eeny meeny miney mo'.


Next up, we have a commercial for the Chevy Cruze. I know what you're thinking. 'A car ad? This muthafucka doesn't even have a permit!' And while that may be true, that's not the point, asshole. The premise of this could've come across as corny but it was executed to perfection. And it features a happy black couple! Wait... what?


Just to piss you off some more, here's another car ad from the guy that can't even drive in a video game. This gem was featured all the way back in February during the Super Bowl. I thought it was a home run then & it still holds up. So much, in fact, that it still airs eight months later. It's from the good folks at Volkswagen. Actually, I don't know if they're good folks. They're probably shitheads for all we know. However, anything with Star Wars is an epic win.


If you know me, you KNEW this commercial was gonna be here. As I may have mentioned before, I am a proud hamster owner. Although the lil fucker tries to bite me everytime I try to hold him, I'm still a huge fan of the furry creatures. Kia must be as well, as they have featured these rodents for two ads already. I'll always have a special place in my heart for the original, especially with the amazing use of Black Sheep's 'The Choice Is Yours'. But adding LMFAO & robots? I'm all in.


I left the best for last. You know a commercial is good when you use your DV-R to rewind it. On top of being a gum fiend & a hamster whore, I'm also a sandwich savant. Nothing makes me happier than stacks of honey turkey, a slice of american cheese and honey mustard smothered between two soft slices of wheat bread. Can you say foodgasm? As impossible as it may seem, the dude in this next clip is even more passionate about sandwiches than I am. Here's a classic from Boar's Head.


And that's all I got. Feel free to ad any commercials I may have missed & I may include them in a future blog. Holler!

DISNEYLAND!!!

Would I be considered less of a man if I admitted I teared up watching this? :*)

DMX reacts to Lil B's 'I'm Gay'

If you didn't know, rapper(?) Lil B plans to name his next album 'I'm Gay'. Judging by DMX's priceless reaction, he had not heard about this, either.

Fabolous' Response

Here's Fab's response to the Ray J incident & interview. It gets really funny around the 8 min mark. Hahaha @ lil red riding hood. And DJ Clue is a cornball. That is all.

Ray J vs. Fabolous

So here's the story as I understand it...

To lead up to the Floyd Mayweather/Victor Ortiz fight last Saturday, HBO did their usual program '24/7' chronicling both fighters' preparation for the big event. On one of the episodes, R&B singer Ray J, a member of Mayweather's Money Team, was playing the piano singing his hit single 'One Wish'. Rapper Fabolous made some comments about this scene on Twitter. Nothing crazy but it was clear he found some amusement in this scene.

Fast forward to this past weekend. Ray J & Fab end up in the same party at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. Some words are exchanged & a brawl ensues. What happened after that seems to be a bit hazy. The always reliable source Media Takeout reported that Ray J was the one who got sonned. However, Ray J called up Power 105 in NYC this morning & claimed he got the best of it.

Below is the convo Ray J had w/ the Breakfast Club (Charlamagne, DJ Envy & Angela Yi). To call this a classic would not be doing it justice. This is PHENOMINAL. Sure, it's a lil ignorant but I'll be damned if it's not entertaining.

Wihtout further or due, for your listening pleasure...

Mookie

One year ago, I woke up with an impulse. This was a rare feeling for me because I'm a pretty conservative dude who, up 'til recently, had lived my life pretty conventionally. I was known for making rational decisions after thoroughly examining all possible outcomes & then choosing the one I felt was most beneficial to me. However, on this special day, I wanted to live dangerously. Ok, maybe dangerously isn't the right word, but I wanted to do something life-changing. I wanted to own my first pet.

I had been deprived of a pet my whole life. Like, wtf mom... you couldn't even get me a fuckin' fish?! That's just bad parenting. (I'm kidding, my mom is amazing) There was a void in my life that needed to be filled, preferably by a furry creature. Those close to me know I had been tossing around the idea of getting a hamster for a few months. One of my best friends had owned one & I thought they would be the ideal pet. Small, low maintenance, inexpensive. All great qualities that fit it in w/ my superstar lifestyle. I could be out late in the club popping bottles of champagne w/ Diddy & not have to rush home because I had to walk my pet outside so he can take a monster shit. Perfect!

On September 18, 2010, my pet virginity was viciously taken away from me. I gathered up two of my homegirls and we visited a few local pet shops on the hunt for the most adorable hamster. You might think this would've been an easy process but it was anything but that. We had gone to three stores & I had yet to build a connection w/ any of their hamsters. With one more local option left, Petland Discounts, the situation was looking bleak.

We arrived at Petland and headed straight for the hamster section. Their variety was jaw-dropping. Tons of baby hamsters spilt up between three cages, all sleeping (hamsters are nocturnal). Well, all except one. One of the hamsters was running around with what appeared to be a piece of bacon in this mouth. Hold up... I think we're onto something. He looked at me. I looked at him. It has been love ever since.

The rest is history. I purchased him & all the essentials (cage, bedding, water bottle, food, casa, wheel) & soon enough, he was part of the fam. I wanted to give him a name that had meaning. It was only natural that I referenced my deep love for the Mets & named him after my all-time favorite player, Mookie Wilson. The legacy of Mookie was born.

My first year as a pet owner has been incredible. It has given me a heightened sense of responsibility, an increased amount of patience, but most of all, a stronger understanding of love. Turns out that ever since I've had Mookie, my life has changed drasitically, most notably in the ladies department. I've gotten way more attention from the female demographic. Coincidence? I think not! Although it would be nice if he wouldn't be going ham on his squeaky ass wheel while I'm trying to make love. Not cool, lil dude. Even with that said, he is easily the best $5 I've ever spent.

Happy birthday Mookie <3

Celeste Victoria

I created this blog to post the most ridiculous stuff I could find for your entertainment. With all the stress & negativity that goes on in the world today, I figured it would be a good idea to have a site where people could go to laugh. Forgive me if you're expecting something light but I wanted to share a story with you, being that today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

I've had my own TV show for over 16 years now. I started in 1995, in a format that consisted of my three friends from high school & I acting like complete fools on camera without too much direction or artistic value. You may argue that the show has the exact same format today, only with just one jackass on screen (if you guessed it was me, you would be correct). That would be a fair point. However, at that time, I thought it would be a good idea to polish up the show some, creating a cleaner product.

In 1997, I went to MNN, the TV station the show was on, and inquired about learning how to edit using their equipment. The lady in the department, Celeste, signed me up for a training session. She told me to be patient as there would be other people in the class who might be older & were probably not as sharp as me. Beyond being pleasant, apparently Celeste was also observant (and accurate). But enough about me. *blush*

When the day came for me to get my edit on, I noticed nobody else had shown up. Celeste tells me that it's just me & her. What was supposed to be a two-hour class, she was confident she could teach me in half that. And good God, she did. In 60 minutes, I transformed from teenage dweeb to teenage dweeb who could edit his ass off. I was ready to take the show to the next level.

I chose to edit my weekly show on Friday nights, mainly because I had school during the day and nothing else better to do once the week was up. Celeste was always there, helping me out if I had any questions and giving me pointers as well. I'll never forget how much faith she had in me that I would be successful. I enjoyed Celeste's company so much that after I was done editing, I would stay with her until her shift ended. After a while, I no longer considered Celeste just a teacher. I considered her my friend.

I believe I was in college, upstate in Syracuse, when I got word that Celeste was leaving MNN and moving on to bigger & better things. This was bittersweet for me, as I was excited that she was blessed with a new opportunity but heartbroken that she would not be there to guide me as she had in the past. Being that I was away, I wasn't exactly sure on what she was going to be doing or where she would be going. I just know when I came back to NYC to edit my show, she wasn't there.

Fast forward a few years later. I was still recovering from Aaliyah's death (my all-time favorite R&B singer & childhood crush) when 9/11 happened. Like everyone, especially those who were New Yorkers, I was devastated. It seemed like everyone had known someone who was affected by this tragedy. I was going through my mental rolodex. Nope, I don't think I knew anyone that passed away in those towers. I guess I was one of the few lucky ones.

About a week & a half later, my mom calls me in my dorm. She was ready to watch my show when MNN posted something right before saying that one of their former employees was missing & they were last seen in the World Trade Center. "Celeste... that's the lady you know, right?" Oh no. It couldn't be. My heart sank. I thought about how supportive she had been toward my dreams. I thought about how willing she was to help me if I needed anything. I thought about her daughter who I had gotten close to & how she was feeling. From that moment forward, I never looked at 9/11 the same way.

10 years later, my emotions toward 9/11 are still a mess. Anger, confusion, betrayal, pain. It's probably one of those things I will never completely get over. Continuing my show 10 years after Celeste passed is my way of honoring her, keeping her legacy alive. Who knows how motivated I might have been to do the show if she hadn't been so encouraging. She will always be one of the reasons the show was successful & for that, she will always be in my heart.

Joe Budden Vs. Esther Baxter

Relationships aren't easy. That goes without saying but dammit, I'ma say it anyway. The chances of a successful relationship, especially in this internet age of facebook & twitter, are slim to none. Two people that are in the public eye? You might as well just take that bachelor card to the grave.

Rapper Joe Budden & model Esther Baxter were involved in what seemed to be a happy relationship. However, when break-ups occur, things can get messy. This is a whole different level of messy, though. A week ago, Budden released 'Ordinary Love Shit (Part 3)', a song which details their courtship as well as their ultimate demise. To counter that, bossip released an interview today w/ Baxter sharing her side of the story. Pics were also included on the site but I'll leave them off mine because I could do without the site of a dead fetus.

So who's right? None of them. When you're in a relationship, regardless if you're 'celebrities' or not, certain details are meant to be kept in private. Not to mention the truth lies somewhere between their two stories, as I'm sure both are fabricating it to some extent. Regardless, people get off on stuff like this so for your entertainment pleasure, I present to you both sides of the coin: Joe's in rap form, Baxter's conducted in an interview.

Happy Mama's Day (w/ videos)

There are many hard jobs in this world but it's hard to argue that being a mother isn't on the top of that list. I know my mom had to work extremely hard to raise me to be the fine, young man I am today. But enough about me. Toast to all the mama's out there handling their business. Extra credit if you're a single mom & double bonus points if you're a milf.

To commemorate this special day, here are some music videos that really capture the essence of motherly love.

2 Pac 'Hey Mama'

Even the biggest thug has a soft spot in his heart for his mama. I'm a perfect example of that. 2 Pac is too, & he really hits a homerun with this song. Shit, I loved 2 Pac's mama after hearing this. After Pac passed & seeing his mother's pain made the song that much more special.

Boyz II Men 'A Song For Mama'

Ahhh yes. Nothing says 'I love you, mommy' like this Boyz II Men classic. If you have the vocal abilities, you can bypass the cliche flowers & sing this to your mom. The tears are bound to flow! However, make sure you can really sing. You might think your mama loves you unconditionally but that can change quickly if you sound like a hyena in heat.

Kanye West 'Hey Mama (Live)'

Kanye had recorded the original version of 'Hey Mama' before his debut album 'College Dropout' came out but the re-vamped version of the song didn't hit the public until his follow-up album 'Late Registration' dropped. Performing at the Grammys, live, after his mom passed... I can't lie, I still get emotional when I see this.

The Lonely Island 'Motherlover"

Definitely the most... colorful(?) Mother's Day songs out there, Andy Samberg & Justin Timberlake trade lines about boinking each other's moms. While the song is entertaining & awfully amusing, I do not recommend this song as a tribute on Mother's Day, no matter how much you may hate your mama (or how much you may lust your friend's mama).

And there you have it, the evolution of the Mother's Day song. Regardless of whichever one floats your boat (and I'm really hoping it's not the last one), I hope all the mamas have a delightful day. Peace & love, mamas!

What not to do in the Apple store

That's What She Said

Due to my hectic schedule (which involves watching internet porn & feeding my pet hamster Mookie), it's hard for me to keep up with any TV programs. I watch sport shows like 'Around The Horn' & 'Pardon The Interruption' daily but in terms of network shows, there's only one that has kept my attention from start to finish. That show, my friends, is 'The Office'. I had always heard good things about the BBC version w/ Ricky Gervais so when the American version premiered, I decided to give it a try. Well, it's safe to say that I've been hooked like a mofo.

One of the main reasons I enjoy the show is Michael Scott, boss of Dunder-Mifflin played by Steve Carell. Since the show's inception, Carell has been brilliant as the ignorant, annoying, yet lovable Scott. Sadly, on April 28th, his tenure on the show came to an end. Did I shed some tears? You damn right I did. :*( Will Ferrell, who guest-starred on this season's final three episodes, seemed to be the possible permanent replacement. When I heard the news, boy let me tell you, I was one thrilled lil man. However, after watching Ferrell struggle to hit his stride in this season's final stretch, it seems like what looked like a good match on paper didn't translate on the screen.

Regardless, this isn't about Ferrell or any other possible replacements. The truth is, there can be no replacement to the legend that is Michael Scott. And with that said, I dry my eyes & present to you this clip, a compilation of his signature phrase, 'That's What She Said'. After viewing this, there will be no doubt why this saying ended up sweeping the nation. Michael Scott, I will miss you dearly. Thank you for years of quality television.

Posting ignorant clips & insightful (and mostly brilliant) commentary isn't the only reason I have a blog. Occasionally I want to use this forum to shine some light on artists that are trying their best to succeed in this over-crowded game. Recently, through my twitter page (www.twitter.com/geequenyc), two artists hit me w/ links to their new videos. I checked them out & they were both well-done. I've actually interviewed the homey Jerms before & he's a real cool dude. Hopefully I'll catch up w/ Jannine soon to knock out an interview as well.

Anyway, enough rambling. Check out the vids & let me know what you think.

The Mister Cee Scandal

News broke out of NY recently that popular Hot 97 DJ Mister Cee got caught getting head from a 20-year-old dude in the village. Not exactly the most discrete hide-out but alright. Let's be realistic, people. The odds of there being a lot of closeted people in the entertainment industry is extremely high. Not that I was ever rolling with the big wigs of music but having my own TV show, I had access to a lot of these record company buildings & let me tell you, it's like gay central in a lot of them. Of course I have to throw in the obligatory 'not that there's anything wrong w/ that', it's simply an honest observation.

With all the uproar over this 'scandal', I'm sure this story won't be going away anytime soon. Sooner or later, there's gonna be a marketing genius who promotes an openly gay rapper who's actually good (sorry Caushun). That's a million dollar idea. The publicity would be free due to everyone's obsession with sexual preference & in the process you could shove your music down people's throats. Ehhh, maybe that's not the best way to put it but you get the point.

Anyway, I was a lil late finding out all the info so I went on YouTube to see what I could find & this was the first link that popped up. Hilarious! Wanna know what's the difference between Mr. Cee & Jadakiss? Check it out.

R.I.P. B.I.G.

February, 1997. I was leaving school when somebody from the office told me that I had a phone call. It was Wendy White, the video promotions person at Arista Records. Up to this point, my TV show, 'Freak It Wit Da Fellaz', was mainly a comedic show with skits mocking pop culture. I had inquired about getting music video service a few weeks back so I could add another dimention to the show. Wendy told me that she had seen the copy of the show I sent her, thought it was really funny, and wanted to know if I was interested in attending the Life After Death advanced listening session. Come again?! After bugging out for a moment, I somehow found the strength to utter out the word "yes."

When I got there, I noticed instantly that I was an outcast. Here I am, a lil’ pale-ass teen amongst writers for various respected publications such as the Source and Vibe magazine. All of a sudden, I look behind me and low & behold, it’s Biggie. Yes, THE Biggie. I had become an instant fan of his since the first time I saw Juicy on 'Video Music Box'. I loved the song so much, I went to the Wiz (a shitty version of Best Buy that’s no longer in business) and copped the cassette single. When his debut album, 'Ready To Die' dropped, I remember sitting on the cold floor of my room, right next to my boombox, listening to the whole album carefully. Damn... it was like a movie... a true journey through his struggles & victories. To this day, it’s the best hip-hop album I’ve ever heard. And there he was in person, hobbling into the room on crutches, still recovering from a car accident he had been in. Those who know me can testify, throughout all the interviews I've done (and I've interviewed some heavy hitters), I'm hardly ever starstruck. Well, that day I was STARSTRUCK. Keep in mind, up to this point I hadn't met or done any interviews with any rappers or entertainers. Look who ended up being the first.

After we all sat and heard B.I.G.’s amazing sophomore double CD, there was a photo opportunity with the big guy. I observed closely as Biggie mean mugged in every picture he took, regardless of who he was with. That was far from my persona but I didn’t wanna be the fool who was cheesing while an angry-looking Biggie was next to me. When it was my turn, I didn’t know what to do. At the last moment, I made this horrific expression trying to look angry and ended up looking like a complete dork in the process. It didn’t help that the camera flash bounced off my skin, making me look even paler than I really was. Not a good look, dude. But I wouldn’t trade it in for the world.

On March 9th, 1997, the world lost a hip-hop legend. In his prime. One of the few rappers that would crack both my "top 10 rappers of all-time" and "top 10 favorite rappers ever" lists. We’ll always love Big Poppa.

Miguel & the homosexual lyrics debate

I know the majority of you guys might classify me as a G but actually I am quite the sensitive man. In fact, I am a big fan of cuddling & candle light. This also spills into the music I listen to. Sure, I enjoy the barks of a young DMX or the verbal threats of a pre-'Massacre' 50 Cent more than the next person. However, R&B is still prevalent on my mp3 player, for those times I need to get in touch w/ my inner-softee.

While I've been loving a few albums that the genre has produced recently (Bruno Mars, Cee-Lo, Dirty Money), my favorite song of the moment is Miguel's 'Sure Thing'. If you've seen my TV show recently, you've noticed I've given the video a few spins. If you haven't seen it, here it is for your viewing pleasure.



Beautiful song. Great melody. Just an overall treat. However, the very first line muttered by Miguel has raised some questions about the song's message & the singer's sexuality. In a song that I assumed to be written for a woman, he states that he loves her like a brother. When I first heard this line, I did make a screw face. It just seems like an odd thing to say to a female. Not that I'm a pimp by any means but I've had my share of experiences w/ women & never once did I feel the urge to tell one that I loved her like a brother. It sure seems like 'love you like a sister' would be more appropriate.

Which leads me to this: what if the song WASN'T written for a woman? If you browse the comments on YouTube, you'll find no lack of people investing their time & energy into this topic. But does it matter? I'm not gonna sit here on my high horse & say that if I knew a male R&B singer wrote a love song for another man that it doesn't play a factor into whether I'd enjoy the song or not. I don't classify myself as homophobic but I might not give the song the appropriate number of spins it deserves. When there were questions raised about the real message about John Legend's 'She Don't Have To Know', I found myself skipping the song frequently. As a society, should we be at a place where the listener's love (or overall quality) of the song trumps the artist or writer's intent, even if it has homosexual undertones?

Only Miguel knows what he meant when he said he'll 'love you like a brother'. And at this point, who cares? Not I. The song is getting heavy rotation in the GeeQue household. How about in yours?

NFL Conference Championship Predictions

Is it too early to call myself a guru? After going 3-1 again last week, I've assured that I'll finish the playoffs over .500! I know, I know, what an accomplishment. Enough about me & my wise ways, though. There's two more games on the horizon today & I am determined to nail both of them. Let me say a quick prayer & get to these predictions.

(Home team in CAPS)

Green Bay Packers over CHICAGO BEARS
I picked GB over Atlanta last week but I had no idea it was gonna go down like THAT. You're probably sick of hearing how brilliant Aaron Rodgers was so I won't beat you in the head w/ that. The Packers as a whole, though, are peaking at the perfect time. Yeah, they're on the road & the Bears have played them tough this season, splitting their previous two games. I'm just not a Jay Cutler fan. He looked good last week but that was against a poor Seattle defense. The pressure Clay Matthews & the gang will bring will not allow him to be as comfortable. Like I said from the start of the post-season, GB will be in the Super Bowl.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS over New York Jets
There are toss-up's, and then there are TOSS-UP's. This is the latter. Although both teams beat formidable opponents last week, the Jets were way more impressive beating the Pats in Foxboro. Pittsburgh needed every break they could get against a Ravens team that went into halftime with a two touchdown lead. Granted, the Pitt defense is responsible for some of those Baltimore mistakes but if you saw the second half, the Ravens essentially gave that game away. What Mark Sanchez has been able to do in two years is nothing short of remarkable. FOUR road playoff wins? Wow. I just can't see him getting a 5th when the other guy throwing the ball is Big Ben, he of the 9-2 playoff record & two Super Bowl rings. In a close game, look at the QB match-up for the tiebreaker. I hope I'm wrong about this, though.

So there you have it. Packers vs. Steelers in the Super Bowl. A possible 8-2 record on the line. It doesn't get any better than this, folks. Enjoy the games!

NFL Divisional Weekend Predictions

Predictable wild-card weekend. Every road teams wins except... the Seattle Seahawks?! Can't complain, though. Even with that, I still managed to go 3-1. I prefer to post these predictions as late as possible so I can have every single fact & detail before kickoff but let's be honest here... I'm celebrating my birthday this weekend & the level of intoxication I figure to be a part of will surely prevent me from making any rational decisions (and I'm not just talking football-wise, either). So here's a lil early preview to whet your appetites before the big games.

(Home team in CAPS)

PITTSBURGH STEELERS over Baltimore Ravens
What's this... I picked a home team?! WTF! This one should be punishing, as well as delightful! Ray Lewis, T-Sizzle, Big Ben, Hines Ward... the cast of characters in this one is endless. These AFC North rivals split their two previous match-ups this year, each winning on the road. Since this game appears to be so even, I looked at their overall and home/road splits to see if I could take anything from there. This only left me more confused. Both teams went 12-4 with the Ravens going 5-3 on the road & the Steelers going 5-3 at home. So much for any advantage there.

To say these teams are battle-tested is an understatement. Joe Flacco has an impressive four road playoff wins already in his young career & in most cases, that experience gives him the upper hand. However, Big Ben has a lil something we like to call super bowl rings. Two of them, actually. Both teams are notorious for having tough defenses but while Pittsburgh stayed elite, Baltimore took a step (albeit a small step) back this year. They only ranked 21st in opposing passing yards. Hell, even Ryan Fitzpatrick lit them up through the air in week 7. I don't like the Baltimore secondary's chances against Ward & especially speedster Mike Wallace. Gimme Pitt in a squeaker.

Green Bay Packers over ATLANTA FALCONS
I told you last week that if the Pack beat the Eagles that I'd ride them to the Super Bowl & that's exactly what I intend to do. This seems like it'll be their toughest test before they get there & it's a shame this game isn't the NFC Championship game instead. If there's something that makes me hesitant about this decision, it's that Atlanta was 7-1 at home this year. But that's not all, folks. Falcons QB Matt Ryan is a staggering 20-2 at the Georgia Dome in his career. 20-2! And let me tell you something, he's not the only one that loves some dome! Yes, I was referring to myself. These teams met in week 12 in the aforementioned dome & the Falcons won by 3 on a last-second FG by Matt Bryant.

So why the Packers? Truthfully, it's a gut feeling. If you need some supporting evidence, though, just take a glance at their last three games. Victories over the Giants, Bears & Eagles. All must-win games, all tough opponents. Their biggest weakness heading into last week's showdown seemed to be their running game. That is until James Starks became a man. While Atlanta is solid against the run (10th in opposing rushing yards), they can be beat through the air. We already know the weapons GB has at it's disposal. It's just not the big names either, as Greg Jennings & Donald Driver weren't on the receiving end of any of Rodgers' three TD's last week. They just seem to be peaking at the right time.

CHICAGO BEARS over Seattle Seahawks
Not only does Seattle have to be feeling great after their trashing of the defending champs last week but they also draw the weakest of the NFC teams left. The Bears were 5-3 at home this year but one of those losses came against the Seahwaks in week 6. That also equaled half of Seattle's wins on the road this year, as they went a putrid 2-6 away from home. Now seems like a good time to mention that even with last week's win vs. the Saints, the Seahawks are STILL not .500.

I took a look at these teams closely to try to find anything that they do great (at least on a consistent level). You know what I found? ONE thing. And unfortunatly for Marshawn Lynch, it's the Chicago run defense. They ranked 2nd in the NFL this year, allowing an anemic 90 yards a game, meaning it's gonna be up to Matt Hasselback to continue the magic he had last week if Seattle has a chance. Not saying I have supreme faith in Jay Cutler as he's more than capable of throwing more touchdowns to the opposition than his own teammates. But I just can't see Matty doing it two weeks in a row, especially since he's on the road.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS over New York Jets
You know what a rivalry is? It's when someone on one team says fuck the guy on the other team, and that's exactly what Antonio Cromartie said about Tom Brady this week. Rex Ryan added to the verbal barrage with his own tough talk. Anybody care to remind me what the score was the last time the Jets went to Foxboro? Oh yeah, it was 45-3. The Jets did hand the Pats one of their two losses this year but that was all the way back in week 2. I'm sure the Jets are still having nightmares about the week 13 massacre. They weren't alone in that regard. The Pats beat everyone that stepped in their domain, going a perfect 8-0 at home this year.

It's hard to see a glaring weakness in a 14-2 team but if there is one for New England, it's their young secondary. True, they played better as the season went on but they were still the 3rd worst unit in terms of passing yards allowed. Fortunatly for them, they're not playing a great passing offense. Mark Sanchez is adequate, at best. In the Indy game, he looked awful until that last drive where he finally looked like an NFL QB. To beat New England in Foxboro, you have to be nearly flawless because they don't turn the ball over. Brady has thrown an NFL-record 335 passes without an interception. Sanchez is bound to cough the ball up at some point & when he does, Brady's going to make him pay.

And that's all I got. With the way things have gone this season, if I finish the weekend over .500, I'll consider it a huge accomplishment. 7-1 would be nice, too.

Have safe sex!

NFL Wild Card Weekend Predictions (Part 2)

If you would've told me I would go 1-1 in my predictions yesterday but the game I got wrong WASN'T the Jets, I would've thought you were loco. Somehow that's exactly what happened. Didn't expect Matt Hasselback & Marshawn Lynch to make the entire Saints' defense their bitch. With a chance to go 3-1 & brag that I am wiser than any NFL expert ever, here are my predictions for today's games.

(Home team in CAPS)

Baltimore Ravens over KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
I know, I know. Although this wouldn't be nearly the upset that Seattle over N.O. was, this still feels eerily similar to yesterday's game. Home team as the underdog although they have one of the strongest home fields in the league. Road team that looks superior & has faced & beaten stiffer competition. Yikes. Will I make the same mistake twice?

The Chiefs were an amazing 7-1 at home this season. Here's the thing. Guess how many playoff teams they faced there? Two? Nope. One? Not even. That's right. They faced ZERO. They beat up on the likes of Buffalo & Arizona. In fact, they've only faced two playoff teams the whole year (win @ Seattle, loss @ Indy), making their 10-6 record very deceiving. Meanwhile, Baltimore is battle-tested, going 12-4 this year w/ road victories over the Jets & Pittsburgh. Yes, KC has been successful running the ball, averaging an NFL-best 164 yds/game, but the Ravens can counter that with their 5th-ranked rushing defense. The crazy look in Ray Lewis' eyes should be enough to pump some fear into Jamaal Charles' heart.

Green Bay Packers over PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Yeah, I'm a Giants fan but I promise you, this is a bias-free post! GB sucked it up on the road this season, only managing a 3-5 record. One of those losses, a 7-3 defeat to the Lions, happened when Aaron Rodgers got concussed & missed the entire 2nd 1/2. Their next road loss happened a week later at New England, where they only lost by 4 despite playing without Rodgers entirely. Throw in another loss that happened in OT & that 3-5 road record could've looked very different.

What Mike Vick has done this year is major OMG status. People seem to be focusing on the fact he has an INT in his last five games while he didn't have any in his first seven. Fair enough. But the dude also has 10 passing TD's & four rushing TD's in that same span. Whether he's a lil dinged-up or not, that Philly offense is still extremely dangerous. The problem for Vick is he's facing a GB defense that has certified studs (in the metaphorical sense, not physically), including potential Defensive Player of the Year Clay Matthews. GB's offense is no pushover either, featuring one of the deepest receiving corps in the league. I'm more confident that the Packers can slow down Philly on offense than vice versa. If GB can pull this one out, I like them to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

So the quest to 3-1 continues. Yes, I realize I picked all four road teams to win this weekend. Hey, shit happens. Besides, this is the NFL, where a 7-9 team knocks off the defending Super Bowl champs.

Birdman whoops Weezy?!

We don't come from that shit!

NFL Wild Card Weekend Predictions (Part 1)

Oh, so you thought this was just a hip-hop blog, huh? We versatile up in this bitch! I'm a huge football fan. Watch it religiously, root for my Giants, play fantasy football... I gets it in. With so much parity in the NFL, an even wilder wild-card weekend is upon us. I'll be predicting the outcomes of the games throughout the playoffs to see how I stack up against these so-called experts. Let the madness begin!

(Home team in CAPS)

New Orleans Saints Over SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Did the 7-9 Seahawks deserve a spot in the playoffs? Under the NFL rules, yes. Under life rules, hell no. Not while two 10-6 teams watch from home. But they're in & facing the defending Super Bowl champs. This is the one playoff game that everyone is expecting to be a blow-out, including Vegas, who has the Saints as a double-digit favorite despite playing on the road.

The one point I've heard about why this game might be closer than expected is that the Saints are a dome team & Seattle is notorious for being a tough place to play. However, looking at the Seahawks' home schedule this year, they only went 5-3. Their most impressive win was a 27-20 victory over San Diego in week 3 (the Chargers are known to be slow-starters). While their five wins came against non-playoff teams, their three losses all came against playoff teams in which they lost by a combined 68 points. Add to the fact that the Saints went 6-2 on the road & I don't see how this game is closer than two touchdowns.

New York Jets over INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Peyton Manning's 5-1 record vs. Rex Ryan defenses (the one loss in a game he sat out the second 1/2). The remarkable Jets playoff run last year where they won two road games w/ a rookie QB. The absence of Austin Collie & Dallas Clark. The presence of LaDanian Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes & Antonio Cromartie. The Colts are clearly the hotter team, winning four straight & coming back to take the AFC South from pesky Jacksonville. The Jets, albeit against tougher competition, have lost three of their last five. All these things have been running through my head while deciding who I would pick to win. This is the definition of a pick-'em.

In last year's AFC Championship, Peyton was able to pick on any Jets' cornerback not named Darrelle Revis as Pierre Garcon had the game of his life. That won't happen this time with Cromartie there. The way to beat the Colts is through the ground & the Jets were #4 in rushing yards this year behind the two-headed monster of LDT & Shonn Greene. Sure, the Colts had the #1 passing offense in the NFL this year but the Jets were #6 in passing yards allowed, despite having their All-Pro CB either banged up or out earlier on. I just can't pick Indy when the Jets look like they're clearly the more talented team. It's time for them to show & prove.

So for today, I'm going with the two road teams. I'll be back tomorrow morning to recap today's games & offer my predictions for the Ravens/Chiefs & Packers/Eagles showdowns.

Snoop Dogg & The Top 20 MC's of All-Time Debate

In June '09, I was asked by one of my industry pals (that sounds so douchey) to come up with a list of the best 20 mc's of all-time. Now, I'm an 80's baby so my knowledge on older mc's like Grandmaster Caz & Melle Mel is limited so it wouldn't be fair to include them on my list. I keeps it real! Being a true lover of hip-hop, it was a diffucult challenge at the time. I played with the list more than I'll ever admit.

Fast forward to 2011. After having Dr. Dre's 'Kush' in heavy rotation, I started thinking about Snoop's place in history. Originally, I didn't have him on the list, but why the hell not? Sure, he isn't the most skilled lyricist out there but there's a lot more to being great than just being a lyricist. It's the same reason mc's that only focus on lyrics tend to be boring. Flow, charisma... these things matter. They also happen to be two of Snoop's biggest strengths and reasons he continues to be relevant nearly 20 years after he first graced the scene. Factor in that longevity & the fact he's has a classic album in his catalog & he has a good case for being on there.

Here's the original list I presented a year & a 1/2 ago (in no particular order):

Jay-Z
Notorious B.I.G.
KRS-One
Slick Rick
Eminem
Nas
Rakim
Ice Cube
Black Thought
Redman
2 Pac
LL Cool J
Big Pun
Ghostface
Kool G Rap
Scarface
Common
Lauryn Hill
Andre 3000
Prodigy

I've mentioned Snoop as someone who probably deserves a spot on there. Kanye has made a huge case since then w/ his latest album. DMX had one of the greatest runs in hip-hop history when he first came out. Shit, the fact that I don't have Kane on there would make some people not take this list seriously.

The only one on the original list I'd feel comfortable swapping out is Ghostface & even that's not easy. For now, let's do that & put Snoop in his place. However, if Kanye keeps this up, he's bound for a spot on there sometime in the near future (bye bye, Prodigy?) And thus the list is ever-changing. We'll re-visit this topic in another 18 months when I'm sure my list will look completely different.

Skillz '2010 Rap-Up'

Resolutions & a clean start aren't the only things that come w/ the new year. For hip-hoppers like myself, it also means the arrival of a brand new 'Rap-Up' from VA rapper Skillz. I've had the pleasure of interviewing him & it's amazing how he's been able to generate buzz annually through this concept. Genius even! Check out the 2010 edition here.

Check out this new video from my dude Eli aka Strong E. Dude is young & has a lot of potential. He was in 50 Cent's 'Before I Self Destruct' movie as well as had a cameo in one of my own vids, 'My Statement (Part 1)'. I wish this song had come out when I was younger... screw you bullies! >:(

My favorite 50 songs of 2010

Welcome to 2011!
Hope everyone has a healthy & blessed year

One of the things I wanted to accomplish in '11 is starting up a blog. What better day to start than the first? Now all I have to do is get rock hard abs & win a fantasy football championship & my year will be complete. Since 2010 has just ended, I felt it's appropriate to start my blog w/ a countdown of some sort. Initially I wanted to do my favorite albums of the year but the truth is I don't have the time (or interest) to sit down & listen to every shitty CD out there. Besides, it's pretty much a consensus that Eminem & Kanye hold down the top two spots.

Instead, I'll do something more interesting & run down my top 50 songs of the year. Now before you read this list & bitch, remember it's my FAVORITE songs, not the BEST ones. That list would look completely different. Qualifications are simple: these are the songs I played the most in my Sony Walkman (fuck an iPod). Am I proud of all these selections? Honestly, no... but that's why God created guilty pleasures.

Ok enough talking, here's the list (in reverse order):

50. Justin Bieber feat. Usher 'Somebody To Love (Remix)'
49. Lady Gaga 'Alejandro'
48. Aloe Blacc 'I Need A Dollar'
47. Laws feat. Emilio Rojas & Big K.R.I.T. 'Hold You Down (Remix)'
46. Chiddy Bang feat. Q-Tip 'Here We Go'
45. Shawn Boothe 'Poor Boy'
44. Rihanna 'Only Girl (In The World)'
43. Duo Live feat. Snoop Dogg 'Lay Back'
42. Joe Budden feat. Joell Ortiz 'Follow Your Lead'
41. Cee-Lo 'Fuck You'
40. Michael Jackson feat. 50 Cent 'Monster'
39. Kanye West 'Lost In The World'
38. Bruno Mars 'Just The Way You Are'
37. Dirty Money 'Hello Good Morning'
36. Kanye West feat. Kid Cudi & Raekwon 'Gorgeous'
35. Fat Joe feat. Young Jeezy 'Ha Ha (Slow Down)'
34. Joell Ortiz & Novel 'Defying The Predictable'
33. Ron Artest feat. T-Pain 'Champions (Remix)'
32. Paloma Faith feat. Ghostface 'New York'
31. Sheek Louch feat. Joell Ortiz & Termanology 'This Is Hip Hop'
30. Drake feat. Notorious B.I.G. & Jay-Z 'Light Up (Remix)'
29. B.o.B. feat. Bruno Mars 'Nothin' On You'
28. Gyptian 'Hold Yuh'
27. Donnis 'Gone'
26. Jae Millz feat. Chris Brown 'Green Gobblin'
25. Drake 'Find Your Love'
24. Clinton Sparks feat. DJ Class & Jermaine Dupri 'Favorite DJ'
23. DMX & Busta Rhymes 'Yall Don't Really Know'
22. Rihanna feat. Young Jeezy 'Hard'
21. Kid Cudi 'Marijuana'
20. Kanye West feat. Pusha T, Keri Hilson & CyHi Da Prince 'Take One For The Team'
19. Miguel feat. J Cole 'All I Want Is You'
18. Omarion 'Speedin'
17. Drake 'Over'
16. Lil Wayne feat. Eminem 'Drop The World'
15. Vado feat. Cam'ron 'Speakin' Tongues'
14. Bruno Mars 'Grenade'
13. Rihanna feat. Drake 'What's My Name'
12. Dr. Dre feat. Akon, Snoop Dogg & The Game 'Kush'
11. B.o.B. feat. Eminem & Hayley Williams 'Airplanes (Part 2)'

10. Eminem feat. Lil Wayne 'No Love'
Heard 'Drop The World' & instantly loved it, yet Em & Weezy somehow managed to surpass that w/ this collabo off Em's 'Recovery' LP. When you can sample Haddaway's 'What Is Love?' & make it a banger, you deserve a spot in the top 10.

9. Drake feat. The-Dream 'Shut It Down'
Words can't describe how much I disliked this song when I first heard it. Probably had a lot to do with being one of the first songs leaked off of Drake's album, which I had incredibly high expectations for. After a few listens, I can't deny that this is a sexy ass song.

8. Nelly 'Just A Dream'
Like you, I assumed Nelly was done making music. Or at least music that people cared about. But he caught me completely off-guard with this catchy-ass song that rejuvenated his career enough that he inexplicitly performed this before a Manny Pacquiao fight.

7. Joell Ortiz 'Project Boy'
If you know me well, these are the type of songs you probably expected to fill the list. My favorite MC of the moment with my favorite producer (Primo) of all-time? You damn right I love this!

6. Fat Joe 'I'm Gone'
Primo strikes again! Fat Joe is severely underrated. I don't know what the hell most people have against him except the fact that he's Latino. Racist bastards. Could've done without the five-minute rant at the end but even with that, this song just feels right.

5. Red Cafe feat. Fabolous 'I'm Ill'
People don't realize how long Red Cafe has been out. I remember getting a video of his about ten years ago. Apparently the hard work paid off. I don't go clubbing but if I did, this would have to be on the playlist.

4. David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi 'Memories'
Make fun of me all you want but I like Kid Cudi. I can't help it, it's something about his melodies & hooks that make him infectious. While I didn't care for this sophomore CD, this song off David Guetta's CD bangs. The perfect song for the morning after a crazy night.

3. Eminem 'Cinderella Man'
The gem off the best CD of the year. I'm in a bowling league & right before I hit the lanes, this is the song I play to get my blood boiling. Has it helped me? Not particularly, but that doesn't change it from being an awesome track.

2. Shontelle 'Impossible'
Not gonna lie, this could've easily been my #1. I'm much more of a hip-hop dude but this is a beautiful R&B masterpiece that will stay in my rotation for a long time. It didn't hurt that Shontelle retweeted me on Twitter. If you're reading this Shontelle, I love you girl!

1. Nicki Minaj feat. Eminem 'Roman's Revenge'
My memory is asscheeks. Like really, you have no idea. I can't even memorize my own raps. However, for the past few months I've been walking around saying 'I am not Jasmine, I am Aladdin...' while bystanders shook their heads. Fuck 'em. This instantly made me a Nicki Minaj fan. Plus it's only fitting Eminem has a piece of the top spot since he's the artist on the this list the most.

And there you go, folks. This is the type of stuff you can expect from my blog so I hope you enjoyed. And by 'type of stuff' I mean things I spend entirely too much time on so three of my closest friends can read it. FML.

Happy Que year, people!
