A Tale Of Two Cities…

I have tried to withstand all the LeBRON JAMES hype that has been generated during this NBA season. The Association is too deft at finding ways to attract me whether it is visceral or emotional. They have a talented athlete celebrity who appears to be the complete package [ll]. All I can say about LeBRON’s performance against the Knicks is that it surpassed ShowBee BRYANT’s 61 points because LeBRON achieved a triple double. Not even a JASON KIDD triple double, but a WILT CHAMBERLAIN triple double.

LeBRON and KOBE are clearly two diametrically opposed forces on a collision course in June called the NBA Finals. If anything else were to happen I would immediately tune out from basketball and devote my full attentions to the Mets championship run with MANUEL RAMIREZ batting cleanup. If the Association knows whats good for them they will bring TIM DONAGHY back just to insure that we are treated to this special finals match up.

I believe that KOBE will eat LeBRON’s food in the Finals. First off, LeBRON has the funnier commercials, but KOBE has the better ad spots. LeBRON doesn’t have fast food ads that were as dope as pre-rape KOBE’s were. LeBRON is telegenic and the whole nine, but KOBE is an ice cold assassin who just doesn’t give a fuck. And more than anything else he wants a title to put his middle finger up to SHAQ.

LeBRON may be the lion king of the the NBA jungle but KOBE is the tiger. The lion knows that it has no predators whereas the tiger sees everything as its enemy. The tiger knows that its time here is short so it kills at will everything on sight. KOBE is from Philadelphia and he knows a thing or two about having the eye of the tiger just like Rocky Balboa did. LeBRON just doesn’t seem to have to battle against that same self doubt that challenges KOBE.

LeBRON knows that we know he is great, and he is happy with that.

KOBE is never happy.

Slaughterhouse Is The Fantastic 4 Of This Rap Shit…

fan 4

A few weeks ago when the Slaughterhouse collective touched down in New York City there was a buzz surrounding their performance like one I haven’t felt in a long time. Slaughterhouse is a rap fan’s dream come true on paper. It’s like having Manny, Vlad, Pujols and Santana all on your fantasy baseball team. Who in the world is gonna stop these superheroes? No one on Earth. Not even Galactus, and Galactus is a bad ass motherfucker.

Dr. Dre is like Galactus for this analogy because he has more or less had a hand in shaping all of these dude’s careers. More or less I said.

Let’s hope that Slaughterhouse does better with the fans than the Fantastic 4 movies have done in the theatres. I think these dudes can be that powerful as a collective too. Just take a look at the parts…

Crooked I = The Human Torch
Crooked I can heat up quick. He is definitely a firestarter and he proved that recently with the freestyle he spit flames on while up in the studio.

Royce the 5-9 = Reed Richards
The veteran of the group that has been to the mountaintop and battled alongside the Spider-Man of this rap shit. Royce can show these dudes how to do it on the biggest of stages.

Joe Budden = The Invisible Man
Budden makes himself appear and then disappear into thin air amd he could do the same thing to a rapper’s career if they don’t beware.

Joell Ortiz = The Thing
Joell is a beast, but since the Beast is part of the X-Men (and the Avengers, Defenders & X-Factor) we will just have to call this young lyrical monster the Thing.

The two issues that could derail the Slaughterhouse movement are egos and work ethics. Part of the greatness of rappers is always their hubris filled self-images. We love our rappers to be haughty by nature.

Slaughterhouse has done well to compliment their fellow members in the press, but when the crowd is in the building and the microphone is hot will they still show the deference to one another that they expressed in their interviews?

The largest concern I have for the Slaughterhouse collective is their work ethic for the project to succeed. All these rappers have individual movements which they must continue to nurture and feed. Will they have the courage to stick to the script (shouts to Statik) even though the rewards are in the longer term?

All I can say is that for these answers and more you just need to keep your internets browsers locked on the same Bat-channel, same Bat-time.
