sidenote- busta is a fat fuck now haha, looks hella fun though
listened to this song the first time and was like thats whack, but put this in my headphones and fuuccckkk. the base on this shit is crazy. i would love to hear this in the club while getting freaked hahah
This weekend was cool. Friday me, kevin, and tim went up to davis for a lingerie party. we were all pretty siked to go, but after picking up andrew and mimi we were looking for the place and surprisingly ran into mr chinky chao. he told us the party got crashed 30 mins within it starting. what a fucking bummer. i was pretty disappointed but chao said we were all going to his place to drink up, so we went. we ended up playing some beer pong. me and andrew were 2-2. One of the games we played against some legit white guys so i dont count that one so 2-1 it is haha. it was chill kicking it with a few close buddies. After we went to mimis all got ready for bed and talked a bit and read the "BFG" to fall asleep haha.Btw some old friends stopped by chaos and i was kinda excited to see and chill with them but they left soon after stepping foot into the room which was pretty fucking whack due to not being greeted "properly". oh well i guess thats how it is.
Next day we woke up and went to sushi buffet mimi has been dying to take us to. it was pretty good food, but too much different sushi and beer from last night didnt sit well with my stomach so i took a nice shit at the restaurant haha. After we said our goodbyes and headed back to san jose. got home, watched the incredible hulk on dvd. pretty good movie, no iron man but pretty good. later watched Saw V with teddy chao and ricky. Overall the movie did not compare to the other Saw movies. the death traps werent as good and the ending wasnt as great as the past ones. im a big fan of the saw movies so i was kinda disappointed. i read up on it and its supposed to be kind of lead up to Saw VI which I can see because there are still a lot of unanswered stuff. all i know is VI better be way better.
Today went to a family party, dinner with pops, and bought those white converse you see below. i hope they look good on me or they will be up on ebay. anyways this newly discovered Wayne song off his old mixtape "The Dedication 2" has been on replay for a few days. check it out. of course the alien himself spazes out.
couldnt help but posting this, the cypher from bet hip hop awards feat ace hood, juelz, loso, and kiss. all of them went in, cant even pick the best. just makes you put that ughhekk pissy face.
As i rode my bike back home from school "Aint Nothin but a G thang" by Dr Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg came on my ipod and i realized how great this song was, the beat ,melody, and snoop doggs chill delievery and lyrcism is something shy of excellence, which made me think of my top 11 hip hop songs.... i had to make an extra spot because i made this list and forgot the song that inspired me to think of it.
(not in order) 1. Renegade - jay-z feat eminem Both came in correct, but eminems ability to the ride the beat and his word play just made jay's look like an ordinary verse by plies haha.
2. Train with No Love- Andre Nickatina Andre is one of my favorite rappers and very unknown by those that arent from the bay area, but ppl should check him out and defintely check out this song because its one hell of a story
3. Big Poppa- Notorious B.I.G. My first favorite rap song by the late great Christopher Wallace. The beat that samples "between the sheets" by the isley brothers is so damn sick and gives off one of the best party/chill vibes. Its crazy how great Notorious was. His lyrcism is crazy and he was able to ride any beat perfectly from chill to gangsta and there is no better example than this song.
4. Spaceship- Kanye West feat. GLC and Consequence This song was off his first album and it certainly is a standout song in his career. You can really feel his emotion for this song. the beat, singing, and verses by each artist were on point.
5. Notorious Thugs- Notorious B.I.G. feat. Bone thugs n Harmony Besides "Victory" this verse from Biggie is my favorite and the fact that it had bone thugs all coming out crazy made it surpass that song.
6. Sound is Vibration- Atmosphere feat Spawn This is one of the few songs that Slug came without being emo and rapping about "Lucy" and you can see that the guy has talent. the way they both trade off verses is sick and the last verse by Slug is one of my favorites.
7. Shook Ones Pt 2 -Mobb Deep Im not a huge fan of Mobb Deep but i cant deny how good this song is. the beat is sick and they both came with viciousness towards it. Just listen to it.
8. Ambitions as a Ridah- Tupac My favorite Tupac song. "my attitude is fuck it, cause motherfuckers love it"
9. Many Men- 50 Cent My favorite song on the classic GRODT cd. I need to hear more shit like this from Mr. 50. Beat,lyrics, and defintely emotion were on point for this song. its oh so gangsta. "im the diamond in the dirt that aint been found, im the underground king and i aint been crowned"
10. Hustler Muzik- Lil Wayne the list couldnt be complete without Weezy F. Baby. he almost didnt make the list but this is one of his many songs that i can keep on repeat but more than usual because its just a great motivational song not seen a lot by lil wayne and as usual the lyrics are good too.
11. Aint Nothin but a G thang- Dre feat snoop doggy dogg
See intro
Benchwarmers: Ruff Ryders Anthem- Dmx ATLiens- outkast Gettin It-too short Cant Tell Me Nothing- kanye Buy You a Drank- t pain I Really Mean It- dipset Grindin-Clipse daydreamin-lupe ride with me-nelly
Friday: got paid, our soccer team at work is going to the championship. i was planning on camping out for the jordan 20/3 package, but when i got there around 1030 nobody was there yet, which was wierd because ive done this 2 times before and by that time there are usually a few ppl there already. i sat in my car till a little after 11 all the while thinking " what the fuck am i doing?" so i left haha. maybe i got the drop date wrong or there just wasnt that many ppl that wanted it. either way i realized that it was a waste of my damn time and not worth it haha.
Saturday: went to the gym, then a few hours after, kevin and andrew came to my house to give us haircuts. never dissappoints so the blowjob is worth the free haircut. after that me andrew and tim decided to get some pho, while kevin went back to his family gook party. If you havent eaten pho at pho tau bay then ur missing out because it is the hands down best pho place. its located in that gook plaza right across from Target. had a good chat about girls, korean pop stars, crying ass babies, and the lower class haha. After is when the real fun began, we kicked it at melissa kinda bored, so we decied to get some beer and play some beer pong or "apple juice" pong to melissas parents. Andrew do picked up some beer and we got to playing in the backyard where it was fucking cold. Hiljin/ ADo were defeated by tim/kevin in the first game so it was time for me and andrew to kick some ass. the game began and the shit talking begins, if you dont know we talk a lot of shit and if tim is on the other team he is the easiest victim. And also if you know Tim he happens to do this gay little shot were he bends his knees and flicks his wrist like a queer, and that ignited a spark in my head to call him Tinkerbell from then on and it NEVER went away. So from now on he will be known as tinkerfuck,tinkerfag,tinkerqueer,tinkerbitch,tinkertits,pixieshit, fairyboy basically any cuss word mixed in with the words tinkerbell, magic, fair, pixie dust, perez hilton, elton john hahah. and also my favorite TIMK geniously made my andrew haha. However they won the series 2-1 but me and andrew had the last laugh, well everyone had the last laugh because tinker hilton was FUUCKKED UP. Fairy shit was done by the 2nd game and from then on it was game over for tinkerbutfuck. Marlo came by later but by then we were already pretty drunk besides pixiebitch who passed out soon after marlo came. All the pixie dust and peter pan magic in the world couldnt have stopped us from making fun of poor tinkergouch nor stop him from throwing up. around 3 something it was time to go but timkerbell was passed the fuck out and threw up once already. so me and marlo after calling him names were gonna try and carry him to my car, but as soon as we tried to lift him up, fairybuttplug said "i gotta throw up, i gotta throw up" and just yacked all over melissas couch hahah. He then rolled off the couch and with fast thinking marlo took the pillow with yack and put it in the sink and soaked it haha. we cleaned up, but tinkerqueer still was passed out. 5 mins later though he woke to his senses and we got to my car and i took him home and the night was not completed without doing the self deed of pleasure. all in all funny ass night.
Sunday: kicked it with pops, went to the gym, while i was at my dads they played Ninja Turtles II- the secret of the ooze on ABC family and i instantly was fucking happy as shit because i havent seen that movie in so long, it brought back so many memories. if you dont know i was a HUGE Ninja Turtles fan so i was loving this shit. after the gym i checked it and they were playing the 3rd one and now im watching the 1st one, what a great damn series, makes me of think of all the movies i loved as a kid.
Friday - went up to berkeley for kathies "pink/lingerie" party with only one girl in lingerie and only one guy (kevin) with pink haha. anyways besides that it was a pretty chill and fun party. lots of different people, met a few of them. there were also lots of drinks, a little weed, and some dancing. the most important part was catching up with kathie though, shes a coo ass bitch haha. got lost on the way home and it took us 2 hours but i was only awake for about 20 mins. me and marlo passed out quick haha.
Saturday- Went to Azuki to support their 1st year anniversary and of course my niggs andrew with his art competition. for the main part it was aite, nothing special. but the real fun came after they anounced andrew as the winner. he won a $100 in store credit and they are supposed make him 50 shirts or so with his painting graphic on it. the most important part though as that he got his name and talent out there and was recognized handsomely for it. big ups breh. this is only the first busted nut on the face of the success whore hahah. after that went to melissas and chilled and watched some chris rock. that man is fucking hilarious and speaks some truth too. we left to let hiljizzle and melissa have there alone time. me and marlo went to a 08 party right around my house. it was pretty big, but it was outside so it was fucking freezing. it was a way different crowd from the Azuki one haha. bunch of bay kids and what not, it was cool though seeing something different, it was entertaining at the least. the cops came and the music had to be turned off so a dude start beatboxing and some guys starting rapping. i say rapping because aa looot of their shit sounded written, talking about gats, knives, beatdowns, money, cooking coke in the basement haha. the worst part was they thought they were the illest shit out. some did freestlye and but not so good as u can see by todays title.
sunday- saw the pops, went to uncles and borrowed his bike, so you will be seeing me on it more often trying to save some money haha.
So i decided to take a break from studying to speak on Kanye West. Today the video for "love lockdown" his 1st single off of his new album 808 and Heartbreak made its debut. A lot of people have mixed reviews on it and his new direction for this album which will mainly consist of him singing with the autotone effect.
Even i myself am pretty interested in seeing what the outcome will be. im not a total fan of love lockdown but i like it, dont love it, just like it. i think that if it had a better hook it would be better because everything else besides that i love. Overall no matter how much you hate the song, direction, or video i think you have to respect Kanye West for what he is doing and shouldnt hate on him for it. In the past year he lost his mother who we all know he loved very dearly and his relationship with his fiance broke off too. Not many people can say that they have been through what he has in that short amount of time, and as a music artist you should be free to express yourself in any musical form that you want. Kanye West said himself on the Ellen show that he doesnt have a rap alias such as a 50 cent, T.I., or Jay-Z he is simply Kanye West, so people shouldnt restrict him to Hip Hop. However even if you are mostly a street or a 100% hip hop rapper and want to switch the stlye up then i believe they should go for it as well as long as its not some weak bullshit they dont put effort into and just do it cuz they can. i.e. lil wayne heading in that direction, please dont do it!
Its like how you have different taste in music depending on the mood your in. If your in a mood where you need to be pumped up for the gym you might listen to upbeat music or anything that will get you going, when your happy you might listen to something that makes you smile, like for me Dancing in the Moonlight or some Vanessa Carlton haha. When your in that gangsta, ignorant, cant tell me im wrong shit you might put on some jeezy, jayz, or wayne , and when your in love you put on ur favorite rnb hits. When ur down, depressed, or heartbroken you might listen to a more sad rnb song that relates to your feeling, or maybe an uplifting song. So for Kanye West its obvious he didnt want to nor could he get out his feelings the right way through rap, he had do it the way he is doing it.
I also believe that he has been pushing the envelope way before this album. With every album he came out with, most of his songs are different than the regular hip hop artist, they arent about selling drugs, guns, and bitches. His videos have also been different as well with a different approach and style, besides maybe Workout Plan and Gold Digger. Contradictingly though if he did put out a normal video for his songs people might go "huh??" because its almost expected to see something new and different everytime Kanye puts something out. You never know he might do that to be "different" from his "different" self haha, but i doubt it. Its just that this time it is such a drastic jump from what we are used to, the haters come out. I think in music especially rap your direction has to change a little because after you become successful you cant rap about guns and drugs the way you used to because thats not your life anymore. Your fucking rich in a mansion with 20 cars. Thats when rappers usually lose their passion or hunger they once had because they dont have that old lifestlye to get out of and are already rich with nothing to prove. They just keep rapping about the same shit without that hunger.For example 50 cent or even Jay-Z. Now if they can regain that passion then by all means rap about those drugs, bitches, money, and guns because they have that rawness, which is what im crossing my fingers for with the new 50 and Jay album coming later this year. Especially with todays music industry you cant keep coming out with the same type of shit unless your really established or coming out hard everytime because a lot of rappers are hot one minute then gone the next. So what that all means is if Kanye doesnt have that passion for rapping for that particular moment in his life then why should he do it and just make a half assed rap album? We all know how passionate Kanye West about his music and how much perfection and time he puts into it, so even if this 1st single may not be the shit to everyone. i have no doubts that the album will be great. This is also why i feel Lupe is justified for retiring after his next album, even though it probably wont happen. But i honor him if he does because you should go out after you put out the best and most consistent effort you can without anything tarnishing your name or credibility
Im not a dick riding fan that will defend anything he does Im just saying that there shouldnt be so much hate for him trying something different. Whether the actual music is hot or not is the listeners opinion and i dont mind, but we shouldnt hate for the effort. Just my 2 cents
Basketball class- kevin didnt show up. had to hustle more. lost all 3 games plus the playoff game. i hate losing
Finally saw Andrew when walking to my car. we caught up while eating some panda express. shit was coo.
Work same old shit. Gymed it with teddy, saw Priya Rai hahah.
Watched Hip Hop Honors. A very good tribute and an entertaining show. they did Too Short wrong though, didnt show as much love as they did to the other honorees. a damn shame.
expect the unexpected- murda mook ft. cassidy. shit is fiireeee. cassidy goes innn
Woke up around 1130, had some good ol spam and eggs. chilled for a bit, then hit the courts to shoot around. i hate it when u take a break off and your shot form is off. i got it back near the end though. i also did some sprint excercises just for some better cardio and also to get faster. iono what for but it cant hurt.
After went to the pops house to eat some dinner. did some more music study guide. watched the news which i only do it at his house. i should do it more often because it really teaches you a lot about what is going on. no shit. but ive said that countless times before and it never fell through. i also realized that dad is a funny guy. i know where i get my sarcasm and comedy from and also my social skills. but it was wierd because he doesnt see me as a social person at all haha.
Anyways after that i went to Target to buy a bike chain, because i plan on riding my bike to school and work some days to save some gas money. im really trying to penny pinch since im saving more money and i can use the extra to spend it on shit i want. i also turned down 2 homeless people. 1 of them apparently just got out of jail and needed a bus ride to sacramento. good luck buddy! when i got home i realized the bike i planned on using to ride around isnt there. what a fucking bummer. hopefully my stepdad will let me use his or i can get back the one from my uncle.
I didnt see any of my friends this weekend besides marlo which sucks as well.My good and most reliable friend of all Spankwire was there for me this weekend though haha. but tomorrow starts a new week and hopefully that will change.
on a sidenote i cant help but laugh everytime i hear "live your life" by t.i. and rihanna. what a whack song to sample. im sorry ti but its true.
i started watching surf ninjas last night and probably finish it tonight. its such a good movie even now that i realize the horrible acting and plot but it still makes me laugh till this day. MOTO SURF!
woke up around 1130 missed a call from marlo around that time, called him back around 12, he asked me if i wanted to play some tackle football at ev with andrew vo and his homies. ive actually been wanting to play for awhile since all during freeplay at work all i do is play catch with the kids. ive never played tackle before let alone with ppl i dont know so i went in with excitement and caution. got to ev and soon met up with the people playing, at first after sizing up the competition i thought "yeah i can probably hang" but 10 mins later after seeing the rest of the competition being big ass mexican dudes i thought a little differently, but still was down to play. so basically the teams were split into the vietnamese plus me marlo and robert conrad vs the big ass mexicans. it was a blow out from the beginning, none of the other guys on my team were getting catches and we got picked off a lot. i made 2 receptions and on the 2nd one got the wind knocked out of me as i got tackled haha, but it felt good to be able to take the hits and hang with the big dudes. the last pitch i got to me, right when i touched it i got knocked to the ground and wasnt able to hold onto it. after about 20 mins of playing we basically forfeited and decided to play a group of ppl waiting to get on the field. some of them i knew. these fools looked legit.they were big and some were fast. almost all of them had cleats, gloves, or mt pleasant football attire. i decided to sit out for a bit, talked to avo and watched a pretty intense game. the other team came out hard getting picks, and touchdowns like nothing. early on in the game one of the dudes on our team went for a tackle fell to the ground and got some cleats right to his forehead and receieved a big cut and lots of blood loss. he probably needs stitches. he was on the floor for a bit but got up later and was cool. i helped out by giving him some of my water haha. just call me "the paramedic" haha. Just moments before that dude ran for a touchdown, kind of slowed down and straight up stiff armed a guy in the face. it was fucking funny as hell, but kinda sad too because the kid hasnt done anything all day and his only hi lite was getting stiff armed. anyways we started to catch up. marlo started getting the hang of rushing in and blocking, while robert is just a pure beast on the field running over and tackling anything in sight. Near the end i subbed in with robert and had to fill in as rusher for him. i didnt get anywhere haha. i also got like a 2 foot reception for a first down. that was my moment of joy. i was open a lot but i guess didnt gain enough of their trust. in the end we won a close, intense, and overall fun game. Im glad i went to play and its something i want to do again. i also want to play soccer but we will see how that goes haha. the physical contact was not something im used to playing basketball but it was different and enjoyable. it gave me such a hard dick haha.
After me and marlo went to thai elephant to eat some good ass food. saw mimis brother for the first time, i wouldve never guessed they look nothing like each other. for some reason i was expecting a taller and buffer guy haha but i encountered the exact opposite. anyways ate the food ,saw a fine chick, and bounced. i picked up some Isopure after from vitamin shoppe. i hope it works well, its my first time trying any kind of supplement or protein. did some music appreciation study guide shit.
The football game was the most exciting part of the day and that shit was like 7 hours ago. since then ive been pretty damn bored. last night and tonight are dead as fuck. no plans fell through and i guess all the fun is at lovefest. oh well ur bound to have a few of these weekends a year.
work was good, got paid so thats cool. i went to the kids soccer game to assist in coaching and controlling. it was very entertaining and i found myself very into it and blown away by the talent that some of these kids have. some of the stuff they can do with the ball is pretty amazing, stuff i cant even do right now. it only pushes my dreams further to be better at soccer haha. we won the game but it doesnt matter because playoffs dont start for 2 more weeks.
Tonight was a dead night, hit up ppls. nobody doing shit. san francisco plans didnt fall through. watched a documentary on N.W.A. learned a lot about them, pretty crazy shit black ppl had to go through in the late 80s and early 90s. too bad he passed away. better strap up! not everyone can make it like Magic.
with all the black knowledge i learned i think its an ebony night=).
well i decided to blog again due to boredom again and just to record my adventures for the future.
Today was like any normal day. had a quiz in Business Stats, think i aced it but we will see. Acctg 21 sucks, its like a foreign language to me, but i aced the last exam haha so we will see how it plays out.
This year at work for homework center i have the 5th graders, the loudest, rowdiest, and most smart asses of them all but ive grown to love them. this week they have been out of control giving me attitude and shit. so today i decided to give them a talk about the rules of homework center, respecting those in charge, stop complaining about homework because its only gonna get worse from here. i really do try to teach these kids qualities they will need later on in life, but i doubt a lot of it falls through to them because they have homes and parents where they can do whatever they want and can get away with anything, either because the parents simply dont care or arent there for them. its sad really, but i hope i can get through at least one of them.
One of the 5th graders yelled " i dont want to be a faggot!" for some reason. Later in the day a few kids got to yapping and one threw a football at the other kids back, the other kid got the ball and threw it back, missed, and decided to go and sock the kid in the head. i stepped in , sent them to the wall and gave them both lectures. this is what i deal with on the daily. bottomline when you have kids, be there for them, love them , and be strict on them when it comes to manners.
After work, went to the gym with teddy. this weekend should be pretty fun. got a few things planned and the parents might leave to reno so we will see what happpens...
