Thursday, February 24th, 2011
Calm down kids…
You can understand in the land of unmitigated hype how the trade that brings Carmelo Anthony to MSG also brings some unchecked expectations. We are really gonna need a center or a bonafide big man on the block grabbing boards. Amar’e Stoudemire fouled out in the fourth quarter with four only rebounds.
If the Knicks were a rebound by committee team like the Riley/Van Gundy era we might be able to really make some noise in the watered down Eastern Conference. Since only Boston and Miami actually believe in themselves these Knicks might could sneak into the divisional round of the tourney, but somebody other than the guards better start grabbing boards.
But for tonight, the atmosphere was off the chain. I found myself lurking around the garden to see if I could catch something for the second half. No dice on a ducat. The Association’s buzz right now is on a trillion. The trade of Deron Williams to the Nets nearly stole the thunder from ‘Melo’s debut.
‘Melo def lived up to the hype by scoring 27 points even if it took him an Iverson-ish 25 attempts. I’ll give him a pass on the poor field goal percentage since he also secured 10 rebounds during his time on the floor. I’m starting to see the vision that Donnie Walsh, the Knicks general manager, was formulating this past summer The Knicks are almost there. All they need is a little Dontrevius on the sideline.
Candy Bars [ll]

Sean Price told me to stop fuxing with Snickers. He was like, “Snickers is made to look like a Black man’s penis, and what the fux is that nougat shit that always be hanging from people’s lips?” ROFL.
True to life if you’re a hardbody rapper you might should avoid candy bars before you end up spitting candy bars. So here’s a collection of pauseworthy candy bar pics. And don’t act like Sean P ain’t warn you…

MEYHEM LAUREN IS SOOOO ILL…
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Meyhem Lauren released his debut project last week titled ‘Self Induced Illness‘. The project is a double album of beats and rhymes dedicated to NYC’s golden era of Hip-Hop. Instead of being on some when-they-reminisce type vibe it remains true to the spirit of the early 1990s music which was to stay low, bag hos and stack figures. With the occasional night out with the fellas to get drunk and beat the shit out of someone caught slippin’.
Fuck what you heard, that is the essence of NYC rap. You take each day for what is given and you realize that somewhere nearby someone isn’t as fortunate as you are. That is the perspective Meyhem employs throughout this project. You can clearly hear it in some of the classic anthems he has crafted like his paean to all graff writers ‘Got The Fever’.
I’m happy that Meyhem Lauren made this project so comprehensive. 41 tracks is a lot of music and I wouldn’t suggest that you listen to this album straight thru unless you are making a run from New York to Richmond with one of those things. But with this project you have a complete Meyhem Lauren portfolio. You get the panoramic view of his flows and his rhyme skillset. Meyhem Lauren is a fresh man, fux that XXL corporate bullshit.
The Outdoorsmen crew has ample features and that means Action Bronson and Meyhem do their Lethal Weapon duo shit hardbody. I love some of these J-Love tracks which are so reflective of 90s era rap. Thorotracks, Juelz Polar and Nickle Plated also supply some sonic bangers to this project. If you want to hear some rap music from the radio then don’t click any of the links I’ve supplied below. This rap right here is too real for your radio. Meyhem Lauren is too ill for that bullshit.
