M.I.A. - Paper Planes ...

To finish off the posts for "Swagger Like Us" ... 

I thought I'd post up here where they got the sample from ... so here it is

Her name - M.I.A.

Her song - Paper Planes 

I think the third verse is where she says "No one on the corner got swagger like us"

She did her thing too., got over 10 million hits on youtube alone

Swagger Like Us ... Video and Controversy

So with Paper Trail coming up soon... T.I. has been putting out some tracks as of late..

however, Swagger Like Us is crazy .. Kanye, Jay, Wayne and T.I.  .. Outrageous..

it's like the Redeem Team of Hip Hop...

However there is controversy over the track... take a listen...

If you didn't notice ... T. I. says ..

"you see weezy for the wordplay,
jeezy for the birdplay,
kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy, " 

Jeezy does not equal Jay-Z ... either T.I.P missed the memo or Jeezy missed the memo... either way I'm waiting for someone to let me know what's really going on ... 

Anyway, the track is still hott.....

"I can't wear skinny jeans cause my pockets too fat"

I hope this stops the skinny jeans for guys trend... I NEVER wore them.. but to each his own...

Supra Vaiders - Tiffany Edition

Your boy S. Dot is on a mini vacation from the highlife of fashion blogger for CampusTV, so we have been sometime without knowing what's fresh for the fall.... 

he did get a moment to send me an exclusive little item...

 My friends... I present the Supra Vaiders Tiffany Edition, very very limited...

I'm a big Tiffany color-way person ... so the Tiffany Dunks are also high up on my list...

These are great and reeeeaaaallllll limited, so good luck getting a pair...

Kanye West - Goodmorning

It's early in the morning so I thought we'd start the day off right.....

The Official Good Morning video is here...
This is one of my favorite intros of all time (along with Dynasty)
However I already posted about it here

In case you missed it last November here it is again....



Great video, really inspiring too...

Gas Prices are too HIGH -- Even For Diddy??..wtf

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Gas Prices are too HIGH... not just because I say so... but because your boy Diddy says so...

Even the super rich are being affected, ... Diddy talks about how he has to now fly commercial... on an American Airlines flight ...




My favorite parts...

"Gas prices are too M@ther#uck!n high!"

"Flights back and forth to L.A. $250,000 a month cause gas prices are so high"

"I'd like to give a shout out to all my Saudia Arabian Brothers and Sisters... and all my Brothers and Sisters from..um... all the countries that have Oil... If y'all can please send me some oil for my jet I would truly appreciate it."

"And I'm in Coach"

I cracked up sooooo much...crazy

What Not to Wear back to school

So Seventeen Magazine did a back to school youtube clip...

They were trying to tell girls some "cool" looks for the fall back to school..



Judging by comments left, such as:

a2chickaa- "I'm sorry but it´s UGLY,..."

eggz125- "omg thats all horrible...my eyes!!!! my EYESSSS!"

and my favorite

missrandom80s- "k all of thoose outfits sucked! if any1 has a drop of smart in their body they will kno that thoose outfits were ugly!!!"

Obviously they not only dropped the ball... they gave it to the other team...

So, soon we'll be posting about what to REALLY wear back to school.....

test 1

Video clips at Ustream

Be Kanye

W.O.W.

I'm a little late on these, but hilarious none the less...

Kanye being Kanye and Absolute paying him for it....




And Even More



I thought it was dope on the Marketing level....

What you think??

Jockin Jay-Z Live with Kanye West ... Blueprint 3

"I see you Jockin Jay-Z, Jockin Jay-Z"

Ahhhhh man, here we go... Blueprint 3 on the way...


BLUEPRINT 3 from kwest on Vimeo

What you think about it...
Does Hov still have it????

Ghostface Killah aka Tony Starks in the Iron Man Movie

So why they deleted this scene ... not too sure.,
I think because he was about to engage in a menage but they should've kept it... Hip Hop fans would've loved the movie and Robert Downey Jr. much better... cause you know he's catching all HELL for his role in Tropic Thunder...

but here is the deleted scene with Ghostface

Olympic Backshot

So one thing that isn't really talked about during the Olympics is the "hookups"... I mean all those athletes, somebody gotta be gettin down with somebody...

So now you got millionaires in the stands (USA Basketball Team) and instead of enjoying the game, they lookin at some @$$... but they're used to see this Right?
Well, check out who got both Kobe and especially my boy LeBron in a state of shock...




Lebron got that, "White girl got that donk on her" look... he not even caring what Chris Paul or J-Kidd got to say (even though they were all speaking about that donk)



I know that look... I've had that look before (like when i saw the picture)

Who is it that has them in a state of White girl with a booty shock....
reportedly Misty May-Treanor

So everyone sing a long, "She got a Donk, She got a Donk, She got a Donk, She got a Donk... Donk, Donk, Donk, Donk..".. okay that was overkill, but that song catchy as hell....

Shout out to blacksportsonline for getting those pics

Go Team USA for the Gold...
The one thing that can stop them ... booty

The Game vs. Bow Wow

So before we gave you Lil Wayne vs. Juelz Santana in Bowling

Now we present....

The Game vs. Bow Wow in Madden 09'

Just look at the tape, shouts to KonsoleKingz.com for starting this mess....




I'm not sure who'd win...
I got my $$$$$$ on Soulja Boy

Guess we'll wait and see...

Hip Hop Loves Barack

So I'm sure there is going to be more and more and MORE of this as the election draws closer.... and if he gets into the white house.. OH LORD, expect this out of everyone's mouth....

"I am the _____________'s Obama" is everywhere...

Even Jay-Z on the A Billi ( A Milli) remix says it, "Signing off it's the hoods Barack"

I mean, in music and shows, people are calling themselves the "Barack" of their sphere.
Barack has become synonymous of Running $h!t or being the President of something.

At first I was a little irritated, but now it's at a point that I have come to accept it. Better now that rappers wanna be like Obama than to be like Gotti.... Right?

So to Bill O'Reily and the rest of the media and pundits that want to get at Hip Hop and Urban children for calling themselves "the Barack" or "the Obama" of their world... just imagine what they could be. It could be 88' when people want to be the "Richard Porter" or "Scarface" of their territory.

So before the Mr. Obama has spent one night in the White House, he's having a Positive/Leadership effect on the Culture.

Except Crooked I, I'm not sure if this is going to make the Campaign Trail

Planet Green Top 5 Green Colleges

So, you know how I"m about my GREEN$$$$

planetgreen.com just put out their list of Top 5 Green Colleges and I think it's a cool thing to rank up... I mean if everyone is supposed to be going green, Colleges and Universities should be too....

So here is their write up...

"Whether you're heading off to college soon yourself or you've got a child about to make the big move, considering which colleges are green is important these days. Dorm rooms tend to be wasteland in many colleges and you might be concerned with surrounding yourself or your loved one with more environmentally-friendly-minded individuals during this crucial time in life. Well, the good news is that there are a lot of colleges becoming more and more green these days. Here are five that have stood out to me:

Pitzer College, Claremont, California.
Pitzer has made some incredible green changes across the board, but the college is especially getting noticed these days for their green dorm rooms (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/09/green_your_dorm.php). On top of that, they've got a bike program and you can bet it doesn’t stop there. Pitzer is clearly concerned with moving forward with the green movement and I’m behind it.

College of the Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine.
Human Ecology is the only subject you can major in here at this small college. And when they say human ecology, what they mean is 'the study of our relationship with the environment.' That’s the one and only subject to study at this college and their college runs its campus in an eco-friendly way, too...of course.

Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington.
Not only is Olympia, Washington a great place to discover so many natural beauties of this country, but this college is also a beacon for those seeking something refreshingly green. They have an organic farm center. They use recycled paper. They use natural cleaning products. The list goes on and that's why Evergreen makes the cut.

Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio.
This liberal arts school has got a car-sharing program. They have energy monitors in their dorm rooms. Oh yeah and 100% eco-friendly cleaning products, too.

Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts.
Leave it to some of the country's finest minds to engineer a green Ivy League school. Harvard has got a green cleaning service, organic food in its cafeteria, their campus conserves energy at every corner, etc."

Shout out to the staff at Pitzer College for coming in at #1

So one of my goals for the semester is to visit Colleges that are making strides toward saving the Planet....
One world...

Ladies, Running In Place Won't Get You Far

Ladies, Running In Place Won't Get You Far

Every Monday is National Women's Marathon Cardio Day.

At least that's what you might believe if you went to a gym on a typical Monday. Crowds of women use the eliptical trainers, the step machines, and most of all, the treadmills. They move in place in pursuit of their dream bodies at a cadence so slow, it would try the patience of a statue. Some will find the will to do so, week in and week out, starting and ending at virtually the same respective times, every day. These women are truly a testament to dedication.

It's a just a shame those treadmills aren't mobile, because that's the only way most of these ladies will get anywhere.

As Albert Einstein once stated,

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."

It turns out Einstein was talking about the gym runners, because their bodies probably adapted to the marathon cardio sessions after a month or so.

If these hypothetical ladies sound like you, take heart. New results are just a change of pace away. It can be as simple as splitting your cardio between three different machines. Those who want something a bit more advanced can give the following interval sequence a try:

* Jog for 45 seconds
* Sprint for 30 seconds
* Jog for 45 seconds
* Walk for 1 minute


Repeat the sequence 4 times. Add an interval each successive week. But for Heaven's sake, please make a change in your routine. If you think steady-state cardio is all it will take to attain the body of your dreams, you might as well be running in place.

Bernie Mac - Thanks for the Memories

I've waited a little while to post something about the Great Bernie Mac. The R.I.P's have been said and I'm always one to look on the Positives that people have done with their time in this world. So I'm going to posts clips of Mr. Mac, from his Def Comedy Jam performance to his Kings of Comedy Performance. He left us with much to smile, laugh and be thankful for. You are missed.
