Happy B’Day DJ Premier
Big happy birthday to the OG homie DJ Premier. Long before I met this legend he had already contributed to me as an artist in numerous ways. Then Get It Done/Click happened & changed my life forever. I could never ever thank Premier enough for contributing to my music career but what I could do is help him have his cake & eat it too. So for his 45th spin on this planet earth I had Con Amore bake up some of their usual goodness. What better to get a DJ for his birthday than Technic 1200’s Hit the jump for flicks of the cake.

Face Off – Jared Jeffries vs. Swizz Beatz
With the readdition of the homie Jared Jeffries to the Knicks roster I thought it’d only be right to have him in this edition of Face Off. During his first stint here I always thought he looked like Alicia’s new boo, now let’s see what you think. I like son’s game though, he plays hard and he doesn’t have to be a scorer on this Knicks team so I think he’ll be a good fit this time around. #NYKnicks
Chris Brown Lost

Kanye West ft. Everyone on Earth – All Of The Lights (Video)
So as yall may or may not know I’m a huge Kanye West music fan & even though MBDTF is my least fav of all his LP’s it has some heat on it. I’m not crazy about this joint but between Ye’s Jordan 3’s, Cudi’s red leather & Rihanna’s blouse EVERYTHING it HAS to be posted! Enjoy “All of the Lights”…
Face Off – Dondre vs J Cole
I’ve had a personal vendetta against Dondre Whitfield ever since he married AND seeded up Sally Richardson, but the good brother Strick pointed out what was too funny to deny & so Mr. Whitfield you will receive one & only one post on my blog. With that said I present to yall Face Off Dondre v. J Cole
Face Off – Freddy vs Royce
Every once in a awhile I come across a picture of someone that looks just like a picture of someone else. When that happens I like to share. Thus creating “Face Off”. This week I saw this Royce interview online & his look was distinctly familiar. Wonder if he had the glove too. Hit the jump for a couple more A-Alikes.

Taraji Says No To Fur!
That’s RIGHT!!! You tell ’em Yvette Taraji with ya nekkid self. Hahaha nah but in all seriousness fur for fashion sake is pretty primitive & brutal. Now I’m not fitna join PETA or throw paint on wifeys coat or anything, but for me the faux fur on my Triple Fat Goose is just fine. Salute Taraji for taking a stand….& salute that photographer. Common lost.

Heart Failure mixtape Feb 14th & iTunes tagless version Feb 15th.

“They say I’m skinny now…
But I look big in a coupe”.
Man when Fifty spit those bars on “50 Shot Ya” back in ’03 I don’t think even he could’ve imagined this. Fast forward 7 years to 2010 & 50 Cent is slimmer than his bullet induced diet had him back in the day. Word is that Fif is starring in a new film “Thing Fall Apart” as a football player (believable) diagnosed with cancer (yiiikes) & he’s shed 60 pounds for the role. Now being slightly health & weight conscious myself I know what a task it is to drop 10, 20 even 30 lbs, but I can’t fathom what it would take to drop 60 lbs & in NINE WEEKS!!! Wow. That’s dedication. I’ve always admired 50’s drive. He’s very competitive & extremely focused, I mean you gotta respect a man that went from selling crack on Guy Brewer in Queens to selling 10 million records first time out. That’s impressive to say the least. I see these interwebs going crazy about how Fif looks & why’d he do it & he sucks & blah, blah, blah but I bet most of those commenters couldn’t shed half that weight in double the time it took him to do it. I tip my Yankee fitted to the homie for being that driven (even though Lloyd Banks says he wasn’t driven. To the venue that is, Lloyd says 50 would run to the venue from the hotel on tour sometimes up to 10 miles). What?!?!?! MADNESS.
Fif I’m back on deck myself man, just came in from a few hours in the gym and seeing those photos has me even more determined to get back in tip top shape. I salute you big homie. Job well done, now as for your acting in said film…that’s another story, hahaha…
