  • What the fuck Elon?!

    What the fuck is Elon doing? A Nazis-ish salute. We might be fucked. This is the president’s man, this the guy that we all looked at, at some point, as the genius of our time. And now he’s doing nazi salutes and cosplaying as a gamer. 

    It’s the old saying you hear when you and your friends start making money and you see how some people act now that they got a little something something to spare, money can’t unlame you. Money can’t make you cool. You can see when a rich kid has all the gear, the new Supreme, the LV this or that but they can’t seem to put a fit together to save their life. Elon is that, has all the money and resources a man could ever need but for some reason he wants to look cool to gamers and now political types.

    Now you can’t deny that dude is smart, maybe this is some kind of play to get government funding for spaceships or underground tunnels or whatever he’s trying to do this week. But whatever his reason is, I’m good. I don’t need no expectation. I’ve had enough interactions with people to understand when you see someone show their true colors you believe them. It’s not like anything Elon does is going to affect me. 

    Other than these spam trump ads that keep popping up under every tweet. I don’t like teslas, I think that the technology just isn’t there entirely. It’s a working concept but I’ve never had anything with a battery that didn’t need to be replaced after a while. Batteries aren’t no forever my guy. And batteries are expensive. And I’m definitely not trying to go to Mars anytime soon. I’ll let them explore and figure that shit out and maybe my offspring can go in 100 years when it’s all figured out. After they’ve raped aliens and taken their resource as their plan for manifest destiny 2.0. You know with robot slave that eventually turn this into a scene from I,Robot

    Yeah, Elon I don’t know what you on, but thank you for being your-goofy-ass-self. I see you dawg.

  • Failure for you, not for me

    One of the worst feelings you’ll ever have is failing after being misguided. Taking someone else’s advice, that for one reason or another you trust, and then being left to hold the bag when it all falls. That will make you feel as if you’ve been lied to.

    And what can only make it worse is if you didn’t believe in the idea in the first place. If you wanted to go left and they told you, “no you should go right”. 

    If you are going to do anything you do it because you believe in the idea or the decision being made. If you do anything it’s because you think it’s the right thing to do. That’s the only way you build your gut and your senses. That feeling you get when something’s off during an interaction or exchange. You learn to read people and their body language. You start to sense the bullshit before it’s in your hand. It’s no different from learning anything in life. You have to fall or fail, it’s never a matter of what but rather when. And when you do, you have to reflect. The harder/higher you fall, the more you should reflect on what happened and how could’ve you avoided this mistake?

    Most of society is critical of a man’s failure, they love to rub their nose in it. But few people sit down and teach you how to avoid a mistake or better yet how to learn from those mistakes. 

    When it’s all said and done there are going to be decisions where you don’t get a do-over, you can’t have a second try to do it right. Whatever you do in that moment will be set in stone, whether you understand the gravity of your decision or not. 

    The idea is to make your mistakes early in life, don’t repeat those mistakes, and learn from those mistakes. 

    Build that gut, trust yourself. Failure on your own merit. Because at the end of the day when you do fail you have no one to blame but yourself.

  • New Music: Talk is Cheap – JMSN

    You’ve probably heard one of his songs, Soft Spot, that was making its round on the internet a few weeks ago. But he actually has some good music in his discography. I found this one on his top 5 on Spotify. Check it out!

  • Cam’ron and Elliot Wilson sat down and had a conversation

    Cam’ron came in hot, he had to get his get back. But after that, him and Elliot had a honest conversation moderated by Treasure Wilson.

    Cam’ron and Elliot actually had fruitful conversation, even if the origins of this entire debate started in a malicious place with Elliot’s comments on the New Rory and Mal Podcast a few weeks ago. Today, they had a digital face to face conversation and got right to the meat of the controversy.

    Elliot walked back some of his comments but more importantly he clarified his frustrations with the modern day media landscape. Acknowledging that he has to adapt and grow. Cam’ron expressed that he didn’t take often to being compared to Stephen A. Smith. Sounds like Cam’ron even took it as compliment. Cam’ron even went as far as to give Elliot some advice on what to do moving forward. It was some real man to man shit. Treasure Wilson did a great job and asked questions were on both side of the argument, Asking Cam: ‘If big artist need to sit with Journalist?’ and ‘Where does he think that journalist is going?’ So that everyone got put in the hot seat and asked the difficult questions.

    A hot start but a great finish! A real man to man moment for that got shared with us.

  • Bad Bunny: The Rabbit Hole Behind the Pebble

    DeBi TiRAR Mas FOTos has captured me in way that, I wasn’t expecting. Everyday I peel another layer and find a deeper meaning to the album. Hearing those horn on BAILE INoLVIDABLE… it’s a time machine that takes me to the beach in my mother hometown of Miche.

    So I’ve been searching for more, the meaning behind the songs. I often find myself loving certain songs and not really understanding my attraction to it and in a weird way, with just a little effort, I find a deep rabbit hole behind a small pebble. Here’s what I’ve found so far:

    Here are some screen captures from Bad Bunny’s Interview with Zane Lowe

    This short film depicts an elder Puerto Rican who lives in modern day Puerto Rico, hinting subtly at what’s changed in Puerto Rico from when he was a young man. This couldn’t have come a better time given what happening in Puerto Rico.

    Another familiar face joins Jimmy Fallon for the Tonight Show. Bad Bunny has stopped by the Tonight Show a few times before making this his 4th time. He and Jimmy Fallon seemingly have a great friendship. So much so that they even did a surprise pop-up show on the metro in NYC.

  • Cam’ron, Mase, and Stat are home from Vacation

    Cam’ron, Mase, and Stat are home from Vacation

    These last few weeks Cam and Mase have been on Vacation after ending season 5 of It Is What It Is, during which a few people have had a few things to say about Cam’ron. Specifically Elliot Wilson and Jim Jones. I wrote about the comments Elliot Wilson made, hating on Cam and Mase and their success in their new venture, It Is What It Is. Which Cam’ron responded to with a quick Instagram post.

    Cam’ron Wrote: WE JUST CHILLING MINDING OUR BUSINESS SIPPING 🍾 & HERE COME THIS “CUBAN GOODING JR” LOOKING MUTHAFU*KA WITH HIS SALTY HATING AZZ, HEY YO @elliottwilson YOU WASHED & NOBODY IS CHECKING FOR YOU, #WETHENEWSOURCE GET USE TO IT 🤡 YOU A BONA FIED HATER

    Seemingly there wasn’t much more to say after that as the majority of people(the internet) felt the Elliot was indeed hating.

    Now Jim Jones and Cam’ron have had years of back and forth. It was recently reignited when a few weeks ago when Cam’ron interview 50 Cent and Cam’ron asked about some of the strategy he used during their beef. In which 50 Cent has Jim Jones perform his hit record Ballin’ at one of his shows. Years later 50 and Cam can laugh about the entire situation now being veterans in the industry. Seemingly the beef wasn’t anything serious that couldn’t been mended. But Jim Jones didn’t take to calmly to the interview responding to Cam’ron, “Get off my dick” in short.

    So everyone has been at the edge of their seats waiting for the Season 6 return of It Is What It Is. Mase brought some popcorn, enjoy the show

  • Bad Bunny is Back!

    Bad Bunny is Back!

    The album cover is everything. For anyone that’s from the Caribbean, they know what those white plastic chairs stand for. Chairs that are so strong and so fragile at the same time. Chairs that sit in the yard and under rain or sunshine, where elders hold court, where the family eats meals and tells jokes. It’s the same chairs I told my cousin to grab when I cut his hair out back, the same chair tio spent hours calling across the world to his family and friends. In those chairs we cry and we laugh, we debate and observe. After a long day or if there’s nothing to do. We sit in those chairs with a little bit of shade, shirts off, a little bit of rum and an opinion. It was the extra chair and main chair, the chair that moved in and out the house without hesitation or reservation. We may have paid for it but that was everyone’s chair, friend or foe, wanderer or lover. It’s a testimony and a monument.
