I’m super hyped for the Combat Jack Show later tonight.
Joell Ortiz was the first artist to give me the space to record a video of him for BluCheezTV. I’ve watched him develop into one of the nicest emcees currently in rap music. Through hardwork and perserverance he has pushed himself in the music industry. Celebrate this young man’s success with me internets.
He is we, and we are he.

Michael Vick pwned the Redskins lastnite on the NFL’s biggest in-season stage. Monday Night Football is the television primetime showcase for teams around the league. Brett Favre has used MNF to become legendary. Michael Vick is now doing the same thing.
In the first half alone Vick had thrown for three touchdowns and ran for another score. That is some QB’s best game ever, and he still had another half of football to play. The final score of 59-21 doesn’t even describe how much of a blowout this game was.
The Redskins just earlier that day had granted Donovan McNabb a contract extension of $78 million dollars. What do you think Vick is going to be going for at the end of the season when he becomes a free agent? Trust me, it will be more than $78 million dollars.
Sean Price aka Sean Mandela aka Dark Cheadle reflects eternal on the loss of a friend to the beast that is heroin.

Hip-Hop still has the ability to surprise me after all of these years. It’s still confident and boisterous letting you know it is in the building. It’s still trying to come up, by hook or crook. And it is still so New York, and by that I mean Brooklyn.
Last night Joell Ortiz hosted a Hip-Hop homecoming at the legendary nightclub S.O.B.’s with a few hundred of his friends and two of the hottest rappers in the streets. Sean Price and Troy Ave came thru to represent for their respective parts of Brooklyn.
This show was so Hip-Hop there might have been only two chicks in the building. One of them being Sean P’s wife, Mz.B. The other was some sloppy drunk white chick. In the NYC I grew up in this chick would be sporting a buck fifty on the morning after but NYC now is way more forgiving of disrespectful people. Hell, even Giuliani was voted in twice.
As much as Hip-Hop needs the arthouse aspirations of a kanYe West to aid in its global growth it still needs the underground artists like Joell Ortiz and Sean Price that give back to the culture by returning to it’s roots in clubs like S.O.B.’s and giving opportunities to young artists like Troy Ave to experience the energy of a sold out live show.
