Lupe Fiasco Not Feeling His Own Record...Interview With Complex Magazine

Lasers....Lupe Fiasco's heavily awaited album has leaked a few days early than its original release date of March 8th (yea I have the link to the leaked album but Im not sharing, no I havent downloaded it...support ya artist and go buy it)...Only thing is Lupe is not really feeling his album... Lupe Chopped it up with Complex magazine to talked about his new album Lasers and he tells about how he is not really feeling it because he really didn't have anything to do with it...

“There’s nothing really to tell about that record, to be honest. I didn’t have nothing to do with that record. That was the label’s record. That wasn’t like I knew the producer or knew the writer or anything like that. That was one of those records the record company gave me, [they even gave me] stuff they wanted me to rap about. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey I did this and I went to a mountain and found inspiration and it was this.’ [Last April] I was backstage at a show at the House of Blues in L.A. and the president of [Atlantic Records] came to me and said, ‘Hey check this out, I got this song.’ He played ‘Show Goes On’ for me on the iPod. I was used to it because they presented me like ten other songs in the same fashion or via email. So for me, at that point, it was just another record like, ‘Is this a song you want me to do?’ There was nothing special about it for me at that point. It was like, ‘You know we still want off the label, right?’ That was the conversations we were having."

Smack These Niggas Pt 1

Late last night there was an uproar via Twitter...last night while playing Madden, minding my own business, the quarter ends, I decide to log onto Facebook and Twitter to see what's going on and while checking my timeline I see a tweet from my nigga Peres that read "I cant *throws in towel*"  with a picture attached, I click it and what do I see....This nigga Chirs Brown talking about "Look at me now"...what did he do you ask...well take a look for your self...

When I seen this, the 1st thing that came to my mind was "Nah this cant be real, Martin Luther King didn't die for niggas to go and do this, not during black history month he didn't"...So is this what life has come down to with you industry niggas?...first this nigga Young LA (Aint I) going and getting Duck Tattoos on his face, then this nigga Yung Berg got his naked ass all over the internet (I refuse to put that shit up) and now this nigga Chris Brown goes and does this Sisqo type shit. So is this what you're supposed to do when you get money?...If so I'd rather be broke. Now I dont put all the blame on Chris, some of the blame has to go to the people in his circle...Why? cause there is supposed to be someone in your circle of friends that are there to let you know when you're about to do some nonsense type stuff like this and are supposed to say "nah fam, I don't think that would be a good idea for you". If you look in the background there's a guy lookin like "Why didn't I speak up when I had the chance, before he did this to himself"... Instead this is probably what they said after he brought the subject up, "yea bruh, gone ahead and do that my nigga", Now if my niggas Malcolm, Greg, Higgins, or Ishmale EVER let me do some stuff like this (not that I would) but something dumb in general, this would be the time in which I would have to start reevaluating our family relations and  friendships (and so should you) cause this is just uncalled for. If you do not have one of those type of friends in your life that will let you know when you're doing or about to do something dumb, get you one, I repeat....GET... YOU... ONE, hell make it two just to be on the safe side just incase the other missed it.

So to Chris Brown, I already really didnt mess with your music that much, so from here on out all your music is voided with me...and get a new circle 

Happy Black History Month

Somebody Fight These Parents

So Im on my daily resource for ghetto news and other random nonsense that goes on around the world that happens to get recorded but shouldn't have been recorded. WSHH.

I see this title called "All Parenting Rights Should Be Revoked" so Im thinking Im about to see a child getting a whooping that maybe has gone to far, but nah, thats not the case but it should be the case...Not for the child but the childish adults in this situation...


 

Somebody need to fade these people one good time.

When he grows up I already know he gonna be one of these cats with a long ass Facebook name, something like "Byrdgame Hood Approved" (yea thats real)...
                                               
                                              Then they're gonna wonder why he ends up like this

and eventually wearing these bracelets 

instead of this tie

They say it takes a village to raise a child... we gotta get these kids away from the village idiots tho

Is it because I'm Black!

  First off What's Good People! Its Ishmale A.K.A. Big Ish the other man with the plan on this blog. This is my first and probably my most important entry. Something has come to my attention, Black people, we are using the "Race Card" way too much again! Today I was in a Walmart, not going to say where or when just in case someone knows this person, but he get to check out and the cashier asked to see his ID because his items included beer, and various other alcoholic beverages. I quote "The lady in front of me bought cigarettes and you didn't card her"-- Random Black Man 1. The lady in front of him was at least 60yrs old white lady real Golden Girls type woman; white hair, thick glasses, and a cane the whole deal. 2. In Indiana a clerk is only required to card for tobacco products if the customer looks under 18 but varies at different sites. The woman looked like her and Jesus could have been classmates.
  The clerk explained to him that she is required to card anyone buying alcoholic beverages, the man flips out saying "I'm 38yrs old, a black man can't be of age and not get carded but  a white woman can that's ridiculous". No, what's ridiculous is the fact a grown ass man doesn't understand the law and couldn't take two seconds to pull out his ID, I mean you already had your wallet out to pay what was one more step.
   Black people, quit using "its because I'm black" all the time most of the time its not because your black it's because you are stupid. 9 out of 10 times if you hear "is it because I'm black" that person just did something very stupid in an establishment that does not tolerate ignorance and should have been kicked out or not served. Its not a good look for us as a whole.  --Big Ish
and if I ever see anyone black wearing this shirt I'm smacking the SHIT out you!

  

Somebody Get These Gas Prices ALLLLL The Way Outta Here

My excuse for for never wanting to go anywhere:

This used to be my excuse....
Friend: "Yo we going out nigga, u coming?"
Me: "nah im chillin..."

Nowadays, this is my excuse....
Friend: "Yo, come scoop me...lets go find sometin to get into"
Me: "Gas is damn near  $4 nigga!"

This shit is getting piti-fucking-ful (excuse my language) . First off, let me tell u that my transportation of choice is a damn  old ass Oldsmobile(1994 Oldsmobile 98…google it) . Thats really the root of all this evil, it’s terrible. Going to the gas station these days and trying to fill up ya tank is like tryin to fill a pool with bottled water, shits impossible . Its just pissing me off. I cant fuck wit the bus tho, not cuz im too good for it but for the simple fact that the bus that runs by my house probably picks up every muthafucka on the block. I dont have it in me to be sitting next to these niggas, that smell like landscapes, prostitutes, pimps, and everyone else in between. No disrespect tho. Yall cool wit me. 
Enough of my complaining tho...Back to the topic....
With Gas being $4 i dont see how niggas still living like gas is $1.99. Maybe it's just me thats just a broke nigga that cant keep up with the times. I probably am. I just cant see how cats is buying $300 jeans and popping bottles in the club when 1 gallon of gas is equivalent to a Big Mac Combo Meal, and whateva else is around $4....All i know is a gallon shouldn't be equal to what it takes to get high!..lol...Feel me? Maybe u dont......
So if u see me in the street and Im looked like Im dingy...Just say to yaself..."Gas is $5"

Maybe I'm Just A Conspiracy Theorist...IDK

Hancock: The First NIGGA Superhero!
I guess you can call me conspiracy theorist…

So I was just chillin, flipping through the channels and what not,  and I happen to come to the FX channel, and what just happens to be playin?...Will Smith as Hankcock so i said to myself, "i aint watched this is a while I guess I'll leave it here" So as Im watching I start to notice stuff thats not supposed to be noticed, but I always do when Im watching movies(word to my nigga Jay) but this somehow slipped pass me the first few times I watched this...

Maybe it's just a coincidence that the "superhero" depicted on the silver screen as a criminal, alcoholic, lazy, foul mouthed, not giving a you know what bum, living in a broken down trailer, who everybody hates including the people he saves, "just happens" to be black.....I mean they even had him in some dirty low top Nike's smh 
Right?
And, it's just a coincidence the one man who loves Hancock, has faith in him and truly cares about him as a person *pause*; is an idealistic white man who wants to save the entire planet. Let's call him the Anti-Bush. Oh and I can't forget his adorable little son is the only character, besides his loving father, that doesn't refer to Hancock as an asshole.
Right?
And, is it just a coincidence that Hancock only maintains his super powers if he stays away from a "beautiful" white woman who is "technically" his wife.
*You have got to be kidding, right??!!*
I mean, of course the Blacks and Latinos hate Hancock because the only ones depicted in the movie are criminals, and although he does an extremely poor job, is often late, drunk, unshaven, shabbily dressed and does more damage than good (just coincidences!) he does, at the very least, fight crime.
But, everything changes for friendless Hancock when he saves a white man with a heart of gold and an angel of a son who wants to help Hancock with his "image". (Because of course America won't accept an always drinking and cursing black man with a rap sheet, I mean who does he think he is Lil Wayne?) In a matter of minutes he convinces Hancock to turn himself in and go to jail. He even writes his press conference speech for him!
Mr. Save the World then proceeds to "civilize" the savage Hancock by convincing him to stop drinking, shave, wear a hero uniform, treat other people with kindness and consideration, and even how to land without ruining public property. Things that; in the 80 years he remembers being a superhero, poor Hancock never seemed to figure out.
After his much needed "makeover" Hancock finally receives the love of the people he was always looking for. And, even when he realizes he is not the only superhero and his "savior's" wife is his long lost love, he gladly leaves because when they are together they become "mortals". Plus, she was smart enough to hide her powers, because unlike Hancock; she could care less about saving people -- she just wants to live a "normal" life. (How ironic that her husband wants to save the world and she actually has the power to do so but selfishly refuses to do so because she prefers being a spaghetti cooking, house wife.)
The black man, even though he's a superhero, needs the white man to properly educate him and integrate him into his society and the white woman who is also a superhero has to hide her power just to keep her white man *
(coincidence!!!)*
Come on now, we all know that any woman in her right mind would take Jason Bateman over Will Smith, and of course Hancock does have his bird to keep him company (yes, it's literally a bird).
But, please don't leave right after the movie ends or you'll miss a bug eyed Mike Epps playing — You guessed it, a jive talking criminal— one steaming pile of white supremacy with a coon on top!
Don't believe me?
Well, just compare Hancock to the other superheroes of our beloved world like millionaire, genius, scientist Iron-man or millionaire, playboy, martial art expert Batman. Hell, even Bruce Banner (The Hulk) is a world renown scientist who only seems to get into trouble when his skin is no longer…….But what do I know, I'm just a conspiracy theorist.
