NBA refs....

are BLIND...or WELL, WELL "paid.". that Chauncey Billups "charge"...NO...Ariza wasn't even set. GREAT playoffs, the WORST officiating i've witnessed in a LONG time. takes away from da moment, from da spirit these dudes are going at each otha with. bogus shit.

don't get it twisted either, i'm not a Nuggets fan like that...but i KNOW basketball...n da officiating (in these playoffs) in general, will leave da NBA with a black eye.

what's next, da Cavs come back down 3-1...don't b surprised, lol.
aite...
jus sharing sum thoughts.

NBA playoffs, Raging Bull pack, The Cookout, May/ June shows...

word? it's already June!? well, few days left in May n counting...but ya know...that blur that just happened, that was da month of May flying by...:)))).

it's been very enjoyable watching da NBA playoffs this yr. few coming out parties, few "am gettin too old for this shit" going out parties, lol...Boston without KG aside, da 4 best teams in da NBA remain, battling it out for da trophy. Denver tied it up last night, 2-2 with da Lakers. If Denver would've played mistake-free bball, there's a possibility da Nuggets would've swept da Lakers by now. they've had a chance to win every game, n you can't say that about LA. Kobe's on sum otha shit rite now...yeeaa, he's BALLIN...but where's da next teammate in line, stepping up...Pau? Lamar? Trevor? no one else seems to wanna claim that 2nd cannon spot on LA's team...da uncertainty is evident. still guessin it'll b LA tho, with Kobe ballin like he is, Denver vulnerable to mistakes...u understand...:))). out East, LeBron is anotha example along da lines of da Kobe one i jus discussed. i think da Cavs are maadd overrated. wont be surprised if they get past Orlando...but Orlando looks strong n consistent. long as that trey is falling...if not...all bets r off with them.
i'll stick to da Cavs n Lakers tho...can't bet against either's leader...not rite now....lol.
where can u fault either, rite now? their kicks!! :))))...they both need bettah signature shoes, in my opinion. or maybe Mike set da standards waaayy too high! :))).

el toro!! i didn't go in on da Raging Bull pack. that red suede looked sexy as hell to me, when i first seen em. thru more pics, i wasn't feelin da quality...backed my money truck out, decided to chill. heard the 3M joints are DOPE tho...also heard they crease supah fast. hey, wuteva rocks ya boat. jus found out True Blue 3's (J's) r droppin SOON. now...i mos def wanna go in, except, am curious bout da quality. Nubuck 12's dis weekend...where ya'll gon'a b?

The Cookout...coming along nicely. couple of features r laggin...within da next week or two, i'ma b going in...puttin in work, making up for da features that wont be making it. got a schedule, i like sticking to...i understand cats got they own agendas, jus wish they wouldn't act like contributing (to my project) is on theirs, if it isn't in da end. ya know. far from trippin tho, we'll simply get more work done...das all we do, on my end. Will from Memphis has sent me sum verses, very dope shit. Cinema (LB) came in, did his thing. Aura n Pulse (OC) r coming in, along with Clever, doin they thing. am xcited about the project, different feel to it, from anything i've done...which i can't wait to share. things will really pick up within da next 3 weeks....
stay tuned...previews coming soon.

got quite a few shows on deck, shits lovely...i personally LOVE rockin, feel me. we rocked @ Tannin's in SJC, South County...Malone's (my backyard), Airliner (this coming Sun, 5/31) n then da following Fri, @ Martini Blues in HB on 6/5. been havin a lot of fun, bringin wut we (cats rockin wit me, that are featured on stuff) do, to different locations. da reception has been very good. at times, i've kinda noticed people that don't understand wut we do, wut i do...but not every1 lives this, day in n day out...i understand that. i certainly hope, we continue providing da people a GREAT show...GREAT music, n mos def GREAT vibes. there's a place inside music, where we live...where we breathe n create da art from. it's a beautiful place man...beautiful. jus enjoying it, as i for one...don't take a thing, for granted.

stay positive, productive.

Foamposites, Bulls/ Celts, Hatton/ Pacquiao, Beatlounge Radio, The Rebate, The Cookout n more....

ayo ayo...wus da happs!?
me? am kinda excited, lol, i got the blue Foamposites...uhh, kinda hard to find, kinda. for my heads that know, they KNOW. paid a pretty penny (pun intended, lol) but oh well, risk was worth the reward, ;). thinkin about that Raging Bull Jordan pack, still haven't decided, i know i gotta act quick tho, those joints are gon'a go QUICK.

speaking of Bulls...this Bulls-Celts series has been SERIOUSLY, some of the best basketball play'd, i seen in a while. how do 4 of the 6 games go into OT, n it not be one of the best 1st round if not series' period, eva play'd. DOPE, dope, dope shit. Derrick Rose has grown up, in this series. Noah too. the will of the Celts is amazing, too...they playing how many men down?!? Big Baby hitting those 16, 18 footers has really put his game above average. a pleasure watching. game 7 is going to b some shit, can't wait. what a great weekend...

speaking of which, Hatton vs Pacquiao. i think it's Pacquiao, i think he's stronger (puncher) and has bettah mobility, which results in bettah D. Hatton's D, lack thereof rather, will be the determining factor in Hatton's loss. i think. wouldn't be surprised tho, to see Hatton take it...i love GREAT boxing, n Hatton's a true warrior. good luck to each. looking forward to it.

last night, i was wit my cousins, chillin...one their homies lives in the same building as Beatlounge, a local internet radio station. got to meet one of the main dudes up there...which was dope...handed em a copy of The Rebate n kept it movin. i'd love to swing by some time, chop it up, freestyle, wut not...but it'll come. i didn't wanna push money like, bring me up, bring me up, lol. we'll see wut happens. coo cats tho. there's this cat named Mash (Anaheim) that has his own show there, he was in anotha room, didn't get to meet him tho. heard his material before, i respect wut he does. Beatlounge looks like they doin things. props n respect to em.

ssooo...The Rebate has been receivin tremendeous feedbac. it's very flattering n encouraging. n honestly, i expected it. i believe it's a strong project. that kinda feedbac from people who don't even like or listen to hip hop, feels good. feels really good. GO DOWNLOAD it!!

The Cookout....summer....2009. this one has me really, really excited. a whole NEW sound. it's comin along NICELY. Pulse (Rebate) brought me this new beat, i'ma call it Faded From Last Night...yyoooooo, this beat is OFF the CHIZKNOCKOLS!! straight heat yyooo...flip'd one of Tash's lines, forgot the name of the joint, but he says, "shit, am still faded from last night". i flip'd it, made a hook outta that line, n came up wit a DOPE concept. it's gon'a b ILL. if i wanted to, i have enough songs rite now to call it a project...but that's not my goal. my goal is to come up wit n deliver the very, VERY BEST i have to offer. not only from myself, but from my peers i work wit too. soundin promising. WEST WEST!

aaiittee, i'ma get to work now...guess i should...they do pay me, LOL. ya'll stay bless'd maaann...have a terrific weekend. i'll update ya'll soon...
