Without being overly sentimental or personal, thoughts & prayers go out to his children & the whole Jackson family.

Regardless of the accusations and misconceptions about him, we’re about music and it’s that part of his legacy that we honor. No other single recording artist in present generations has had a greater impact on music.

As a hoop head the NBA Draft date you have circled on your calendar. While the Finals are barely two weeks over it’s already time to look forward to the next season

The 2009 Draft Class itself looks to be amongst the weakest in recent years but Blake, Ricky and Hasheem should have no fear cause there’s no way they’re matching the abomination that was the 2000 draft. (Marcus Fizer and Stromile Swift in the top four? Holy shit!) Regardless, you can’t write a history of a draft’s relative strength and weakness until years in the future, so all this prognosticating about the weak crop of players doesn’t mean much. This year’s lock is next year’s bust. Ask Darko. Read the rest of this entry »

Black Eyed Peas manager Polo “allegedly” punched Perez & the world rejoiced. Celebrities expressed their pleasure & media outlets snickered while the rap world thought “BEP’s gettin’ gully with it now?” To add the proverbial cherry to this bloody Sunday fracas, even the leading gay rights group (I guess) GLAAD threw Perez to the wolves by distancing themselves from him because he used the slur “faggot.”

Polo Marino, the alleged assailant & current toast of celebrities worldwide.

Personally, I laughed & didn’t give a shit. I haven’t found much of anything Perez has ever offered up as “entertainment”…for lack of a better word, entertaining. Plus he just looks like he sweats a lot IMO. Read about it, deemed it unworthy of really writing about it. I will same that I’m kind of glad the faggot* gay fellow got punched.

Then Bol’s XXL entry “First they came for Perez” entry came across my RSS feed with the byline “Could I ever be attacked by a rapper? Should I give a shit?” I laughed. Read the rest of this entry »

Another leak from The Paxtons upcoming Work project, entitled “Theme Music.” No choruses, no hooks, bridges or singing. Just straight-foward spit from Chris and Dave over a dark, brooding beat founded on a stripped-down, live (yes, live) bassline.

I can think of maybe 2 million things more appropriate to do in The House. Certainly, somebody else there could too. But there must’ve been one crackhead joker of a genius that said “You know what? Let’s do something a little edgy. A little more ‘urban’ and ‘hip’….” Read the rest of this entry »

How do you push USA’s upset of Spain to the back burner? 

Trade Shaq to the Cleveland Cavaliers of course. What started as a rumor in February & picked up immediate steam the second LeBron left the court of the Eastern Conference Finals has now become reality…at least in principle.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns have come to an agreement on a blockbuster trade that sends Shaquille O’Neal to Cleveland to team with LeBron James, according to sources.

The deal has been agreed to in principle and is expected to be finalized Thursday, according to sources.

Cleveland will send Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to Phoenix for the future Hall of Famer. Sources said the Suns will also receive the 46th pick in Thursday’s NBA draft and $500,000.

This is all contingent on both sides finalizing the deal, but is pretty much a lock to go through.  Cleveland is desperately looking to appease King James & Phoenix is looking to dump salary as they come to grips with looking at an upcoming rebuilding project.  Not a bad way to lead up to the draft.
