Lupe Fiasco - L.A.S.E.R.S Album Coming Soon...

Lupe's official website just got updated. They ditched their "Cool" theme, and replaced it with a LASERS theme.


Lupe's new concept of "We are L.A.S.E.R.S.":

THE L.A.S.E.R.S. MANIFESTO

To Every Man, Woman & Child...

1. We Want An End To The Glamorization Of Negativity In The Media.

2. We Want An End To Status Symbols Dictating Our Worth As Individuals.

3. We Want A Meaningful And Universal Education System.

4. We Want Substance In The Place Of Popularity.

5. We Will Not Compromise Who We Are To Be Accepted By The Crowd.

6. We Want The Invisible Walls That Separate By Wealth, Race & Class To Be Torn Down.

7. We Want To Think Our Own Thoughts.

8. We Will Be Responsible For Our Environment.

9. We Want Clarity & Truth From Our Elected Officials Or They Should Move Aside.

10. We Want Love Not Lies.

11. We Want An End To All Wars. Foreign & Domestic (Violence).

12. We Want An End To The Processed Culture Of Exploitation, Over-Consumption & Waste.

13. We Want Knowledge, Understanding & Peace.

14. WE WILL NOT LOSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOSERS, WE ARE LASERS!!!

Lasers are the opposite of losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary.
Lasers Are The Future.

We're Not Losers...We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!

Love Always Shines Every-time Remember 2 Smile!

Jamie Foxx ft. The-Dream, Kanye West, and Drake - Digital Girl Remix

New song from Jamie Foxx. The original, with just The-Dream and Ye', dropped hella months ago, but this remix just dropped yesterday. Pretty hard to go wrong with this track. Kanye and The-Dream are heavy hitters already. Kanye and Jamie Foxx have great chemistry together i.e. "Slow Jams" and "Gold Digger". Throw in the up-and-coming Drake, and we got a summer jam in the making.

Here's a little video of J.Foxx speaking on Drake:
“Drake is the new movement, man. You gotta think about what this kid has done, man. To have records on a mixtape, and then the next thing you know he’s on top of the charts. And every time you mention him, people go crazy,” Foxx told MTV News. “I’ve had the chance to meet Drake and listen to his music. The volumes of music he’s producing makes him a strong force that’ll be around for a very long time. Because usually, when you see an artist of today, they do one thing — maybe they perform a song or do a great hook — but you seldom see a guy who can walk a song, all from the R&B end, and then to be on a track with Bun B … and Bun B, he doesn’t get on tracks with people unless it’s really legit … so I’m actually honored to have him on a track called ‘Digital Girl,’ and we will be working with each other in the future.”

Personally, I didn't like the original and the only reason I kinda like this remix is cause Drake is on it and I've been waiting for some new material.

2009-2010 Denver Broncos

This offseason for the Broncos has certainly been an eventful one. It all started, and subsequently went downhill, after Mike Shanahan was fired. He was later replaced by Josh McDaniels, former Patriots Offensive Coordinator. McDaniels is the main reason Denver's next season appears to be bleak. He alienated their two most important offensive players: QB Jay Cutler and WR Brandon Marshall.


During the offseason, McDaniels expressed interest in acquiring ex-Patriot QB Matt Cassell, something that Cutler took offense to since he was supposed to be the main man in Denver. Cutler then requested a trade, which came true, and he is now QB for the Chicago Bears.


Shortly after Cutler was traded, Marshall expressed dissatisfaction with his situation in Denver. He wanted to be paid more money since he performed at a high level the past two seasons, and his contract was not up to par with his achievements. Another reason for Marshall to leave is the way the organization has fallen to shambles since Cutler left. Cutler and Marshall were supposed to be the next John Elway and Rod Smith, but better. With a weak quarterbacking situation, Marshall now sees Denver as a place that could limit his progression as a #1 WR.

What Denver loses:
Starting QB Jay Cutler. 2008 Stats: QBrating 86.0, 62% Comp%, 4,526yds, and 25 TDs.
#1 WR Brandon Marshall. 2008 Stats: 104 Rec, 1,265yds, and 6 TDs.

They essentially lost their offense this offseason. So sad, especially for a team that used to be my favorite. (Back in '97-'99)

Air Force 1 Premium "Air Max 90 Infrared" Inspired.

"I'm feelin' on top of it. It's more than a feelin' ain't it. I be killin' dammit. I'm iller than iller dammit."


So I had to write a 6 pages essay for my art class about this one picture. x.x Needless to say, I killed it. Spent 4 solid hours on it. Hella good essay imo. Can't show the whole essay cause it might make some brains explode!

Some highlights from my paper:
"Although these two styles contradict eachother, the fact that Cohen was able to use each of them is a testament to her ingenuity and ability to push the boundaries of art." :P

"The reason Cohen produced this work of art is to portray the complex and paradoxical nature in which love and war coexist." :P

This is the car that Nhi wants :P I really hope she gets it! Cause if she gets it, then that means that I'll get to drive it sometimes at least =) Pretty cool car. It's the first convertible ever to be made by Lexus, which is pretty epic.

Drake - November 18th


This is the kid, Drake aka Young Angel aka Drizzy. He's next up in the game. Personally, I like him better than KiD CuDi, but to each his own. Drake is from Toronto and used to be an actor on Degrassi. (see above pic) LOL. But here is one of his joints from his mixtape. Probably my favorite song. I like the way he raps and sings. He has a lot more to offer other than "Best I Ever Had" or "Every Girl In The World". Although these songs will help boost his mainstream success, he still has so much that hasn't been revealed.
