New look for the blog...for now
Tuesday was an interesting day....
I met Ludacris @ Def Jam. Was counting tickets for his Album Release party @ the Highline Ballroom. (shoulda took some tix to scalp :-p). Dude was like two inches shorter than I am. I aint even recognize him @ first but then he walked by where I was at, which was by the Senior VP of Marketing's assistant's desk. Dude was mad cool. Saw Lenny S walking around the building...
Saigon came through to the PMHH showcase. dude was mad funny..showing us mad love. The weather fucked up the turnout of the event but much love to the people who did come through to show love. Special shoutouts to my dude Marz who sponsored the event on behalf of Mpressive Concepts. I was a bit disappointed but it's a growth and learning experience.
The game dont stop...still got a few tricks up our sleeve.
I've been tired as fuck lately. Wanted to finally catch up on some b-ball and i see this off brand ass Bulls/Blazers game on....i knocked out early unfortunately...just fatigued. I need to hit the gym and I look forward to finally getting some ball in on Saturday.
:-( Pushed Hova up to February. I wanted to be part of the release of his final Def Jam album. i'ma try to stick around for February...which means that Fab will prolly be pushed to a spring/summer release. Ye's shit is supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread but i aint too keen on that god damn autotuner.
I need some new gear and kicks.
Listening to this DJ Clue Best of Freestyles Part I...it's crazy how the mixtape scene has been watered down. Clue used to have the tristate on SMASH. Cats just aint that nice anymore so it is what it is...
I need to hit up a lounge or club and let go. I'm tired as shit. But it dont stop....

I'm Mad Late
Ya'll already know. I'm back after a hiatus...
We in the Building....
History was made as Mr. Barack Obama was the winner of the Presidential Race. Our 44th President will enter the White House as the victor of the most publicized and dynamic campaign that this country has ever seen.
An African American man is now the most powerful man and the leader of the "free world". There is much work to be done and Mr. Obama will be put to the test almost as soon as he steps into office, but I support him and believe in his ability.
Shit is real. His victory speech was given as he was surrounded by bulletproof glass.
Congrats to Mr. Obama. I'm late as hell but I just had to speak my piece...
Now onto the proceedings this afternoon....
I finally finished DLing Ronin Warriors from a torrent site..childhood memories..used to wake up @ 5 AM to watch this show before school...cool
Wrapping up the promotional campaign for the "Poetry Meets Hip Hop" Showcase on Tuesday, November 18th. Couldnt make it to Binghampton Carnival Weekend for that reason. I never really bought into the Bing hype because
-I heard all these wonderful "ambitions" (hint hint) and most of the people planning never end up doing them. if that's what you do, you should be able to do it in your regular surroundings and not just for one weekend
-I've always had a scheduling conflict or other REAL obligations
So these guys are going and I'm the odd man out again. Business > pleasure.
I'm affected by a severe case of senioritis. Word to my boring ass Management class.
The Ami Networking Event went well. Was expecting more people but it turned out to be small and intimate. Connects were made and we're gonna keep doing our muthafuckin' thing.
My mind's been all over the place. I need to stabilize it.
I'm terribly outta shape and need to hit the gym. I played ball last week and I was outta breath after the first game. My knees also started hurting.
When the past saw the present, it turned out to be funny. Ice grills and loud talk were demonstrated but nothing occurred. It is what it is.
Aced the oral part of my Black Studies exam. I bullshitted soooo much. The class is a capstone so the exam was given in front of the chairman of the BLS department. I charmed my way outta that one....
I desperately need to go out and see what I can get into. I just need to get away from NYC for a while.
No emotions. just blank slate. I'm disappointed in myself. I need a L

The Beat Goes On...
Saturday, November 1st...I sit here at 8 AM listening to my Jay-z’s Library of a Legend folder...namely “A Million and One Questions (Remix)”..”I’m supposed to style, I’m the hustler’s poster child.”….
It's been a while ya’ll....
Yesterday was Halloween. I played the crib and slept in. Was gonna hit up the Village and "scout" but the homie Phil took a while to get here, so I said fuck it and stayed in. Him and my brother went to some party over in Crown Heights. Some girl got killed over by the Junction. I hear Bloods were targeting women and slicing/killing them as part of an initiation rite. I dunno what part of the game that is…..
Things have been going decently….for the most part..
Knicks sitting Steph out indefinitely? Wow...that shit is a shame. It sucks that a player has to go through that in his hometown and for the team he grew up rooting for. But on the other hand, it’s not like he’s totally innocent. Duke is a primadonna, and I have a feeling we aint hearing that much protest from him because he’s in the last year of his contract-meaning that under other circumstances, Steph would be playing for possibly his final long term contract. The system isn’t built around Steph (for once) and I’m hearing the rest of the team is tired of him STILL getting media attention. I used to (and still) like watching him play as a basketball fan….and I could see why/ho he was one of the only players to average 20/8 till about 2 seasons ago...but those have to be the most misleading stats ever. No team has ever won with a “shoot first” point guard. None. So now, The Knicks’ll go on w/o him playing. Curry as well, but he’s another problem. I don't understand how the fuck he went to Tim Grover’s (MJ’s legendary trainer) in Chicago (where countless NBA players go to get in shape during the offseason as well as get some runs going.) and still came back outta shape, but whatever. Chandler will be a problem in a year or so.
Greg Oden might be the most overrated/fragile rookie I’ve seen in a while. This kid Nicolas Batum on the Blazers has good potential based on what I’ve seen from him. My dude Bayless should be on the second unit over Sergio Rodgriguez who’s played horribly.
Shoutouts to the Hornets (2-0) for ABUSING the Suns. CP3>Nash.
Giants vs Cowboys tomorrow. I’ma talk mad shit when we win. Glad we beat the Steelers last week. The game was a knockdown drag-out fight.
I’m FUCKING livid. The Virtual Street Team idea was “looked at,”, but according to “them”, “they weren’t doing anything.” Gimme a muthafuckin’ break!!! Are you serious? End of the day, it’s their loss, but I’m extremely disappointed with the politics and bullshit aspect of it. I’ll leave it at that. 4 big people and nothings being done!!! Then wanna act a certain way when the shit don't fly outa stores. C’mon now!!!
E took me to see Saw V. I can’t believe that duke got his arm broken desperately trying to stop the walls from closing in @ the end of the flick...non withstanding the fact his body was crushed by the walls. LMAO @ me being more disgusted @ the arms rather than the whole body. E was just like “You’re a weirdo.” Bwahaha….
Shoutouts to the homie Mike from Yume for reaching out to us. We’re gonna host his Ami networking event on November 11th at Yume loft @ Bergen Street. I want ya’ll likeminded people in the NYC area to come out, show love and network!!! Hit up kvenna.imperial@gmail.com for more info…
Also raising awareness for the Abandoned Nation “Poetry Meets Hip Hop Showcase” on November 18th at the Water Street Lounge in Brooklyn.
I need to get in shape. Play some ball or something. The crew usually plays on Saturday at school, but I’ve been busy the last few. :-(

Life in General
New Trailer from "Notorious", the flick about my dude B.I.G.'s life. I fucks with Big heavy so this is a must see. I like how they got his son playing the younger version....might be a lotta shit to fit into 1.5-2 hours but I'm watchin it anyway. Brooklyn's gon' riot on spot and if they end with "Hypnotize" at the end, it's a Reynlolds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wrappered up a shoot for our Nike Campaign. shit is dope. that's all.
Been goin through the time management nightmare regarding school, IMG and Def Jam. I'll be aight tho.
Out with the old and in with the new: had to dead H The Dominican. chick is too flagrant for me and i'm not one for the bullshit....but alas, the concept of "one in the chamber". You should always retain at least one more female as your option. I learned that the hard way with the Summer incident.
i'm officially lame. studying on a Saturday and I'm about to go home and play 2K9. I need a shapeup.
New Era
Went on a date Saturday with E....it was VERY fun...(i dont see why people are nervous on first dates)....
We went to Chinatown on Lafeyette St in the city. We originally planned to go to Haru on Park Avenue but i wasnt down with a long wait. We knew each other before since we took a class together two semesters ago but Saturday was the official first date. She's pleasant and hilarious (I usually dont find too many funny females), not to mention extremely attractive. And she's NON-CONFRONTATIONAL!!!! i can't stress how much I like that about her! not a pushover, but she doesnt walk around with a complex!!How sweet!
So we went from Chinatown to Brother Jimmy's on 31st and Lex because it was my cousins b-day...so we met up with her...and she's SMASHED...i tap her and the first thing she says is "OMG, she's so beautiful!!!"...asking all these awkward ass questions and shit: "How long have you two been dating? This is your girlfriend?"...it was hilarious....
We're walking down the street in Soho and this nigga's IN MY MOUTH. like literally. I laughed it off cuz i find it hilarious that i'll be walking with a fly chick and duke is up in my grill. she said that she "doesnt like how guys do that and how it makes her uncomfortable"...i told her i know the look cuz i look @ females with their BFs ALL the time lmao....we laughed it up..
shorty's definitely cool. we got some chemistry. ;-) modeling type...it is what it is
H got her shit pushed back...how's she gonna tell me "Don't forget about me when you're rich."....the fuck outta here...
