Being the bastion of wisdom that he is, Sheed dropped off this (now old) jewel & I agree. I tried Twitter for a sustained period but had to give up and have taken my seat back on the sidelines with Ms. Weber. It looks like Sheed went in with high hopes, as did I, only to discover the inevitable. It’s too fast, too much going on, too time consuming as if I don’t have enough time-draining online activities. Too many micro conversations all buzzing @ once. And we’re obviously all three too old school. As Dustin said, Sheed probably still uses cassette tapes, LC doesn’t know how to download (think about that) and me…I’m just hardheaded, taking a Cicero approach to most matters.

I’m not as far behind on updating as Sheed is. I still check in periodically but definitely not enough to warrant saying I’m an actual member of the place. We’ve still got the @TSS_Crew joint going with regular updates and I believe the rest of the hooligans still reside there.

I did set up a a Tumblr though. Even if I only have the slightest of ideas what it’s really about, I like the random, artsy vibe to it. Yeah, it’s blank right now but give me a minute.

It’s been a long yet lucrative road to the release of Before I Self Destruct, 50 Cent’s much documented final record on his Interscope contract. Possibly the genre’s last mega-star before Hip-Hop was regressed by the digital age, 50 saw endless mounds of success through business ventures, movies and of course, platinum plaques. Although less notably, popular opinion reads that the caliber of his albums have slipped considerably since his towering debut, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. Especially when factoring the runaway success of the lead single “In Da Club”–a phenom 50 has been obviously been trying to duplicate ever since. Taken all this into account, the G-Unit general retreads his steps to familiar waters for his 4th LP. Read the rest of this entry »

…who can waste damn near a whole day watching back-to-back episodes of “The Game.”

Pull my hoe card, call me names, whatever. Let two good episodes come on and me have the spare time to watch. It’s a wrap. Read the rest of this entry »

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny how an ambiguous pairing of Mystikal and Outkast could thread the lines of squeaky clean-Dirty South funk. Read the rest of this entry »

Ghost fans might want to add this to their action figure and imitation golden eagle bracelet. As part of their Originals series, Adidas put out a Ghostface version of their Stan Smith sneaker including details on the heel, ankle and his mug on the tongue, reminiscent of Jam Master Jay’s shelltoe.

Racing games, for many, aren’t user friendly outside of Mario-Kart. Sim-racing franchises like Forza and Gran Turismo are popular with car nuts and basement dwellers alike. Still, they mostly boast unapologetic learning curves that push newcomers away. It’s refreshing that Forza 3, the latest Xbox 360 exclusive from Turn 10 Studios, manages to walk the fine line between realism and ease of use. But does it take first place or stall out midway in the race? Read on and find out. Read the rest of this entry »
