Mr. Illmatic is back with a hot track and Finding an Ideal Man

Hey, so as you can tell, I learned from Sean about how to add things like a blogroll, Meta, and adding the “About” on the actual homepage of the blog. Nice. Yeah, it looks kind of strange though, the pics are over-arching the side of the page. I’ll attempt to fix it.

And…just wanted to link a popular article entitled, “An Ideal Husband,” by the whip-smart Maureen Dowd. Granted, I’m not married but I do believe that sense of humor is key and yeah, don’t ever think you can change a guy. I mean, it happens, but you shouldn’t make that your goal. (Right, ladies?)

And check out this hot track from Nas and Keri Hilson. Granted, If my life wasn’t all about documents, I’d want to be a hip-hop beat producer. Word.

What do you get when you mix the RZA, the NYTimes, Chess, and Hip-Hop?

That’s right, folks. I know the first thought on your minds was….WuChess

I came across this NY Times article entitled, “RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan Promotes the Martial Arts of Chess,” and was floored, and it’s actually a cool concept but I’m not sure about the execution. I guess in the hip-hop/music biz game, its all about strategy, timing, and how you make your way through it without getting whooped.

RZA played the editor of the NYTimes and lost, but he put up a good fight. And below…one of the best Wu songs ever!

Talib…Lyrics Stick to Your Rib…Even for Colt 45

http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1579178&vid=201706

This is MTV’s MADE…where this 16 year old kid named Colin a.k.a. Colt 45 wants to be “MADE” into a rapper. His coach is Talib Kweli and this show was ridiculously funny. I was actually really impressed by Colt b/c he didn’t care what the other kids’ at his school thought about his desire to rap at his school.

The best part is his parents’ expressions when he tells them that he wants to rap at school:

COLT’s DAD: I think he has a better chance at becoming a ballerina. LOL!!

Hot Wings and Karaoke

I’ve spoken about my love of hip hop songs and karaoke. When the two are merged, its madness. Perhaps its my childhood working at my parents’ urban clothing store in West Philly where NWA would be blasting from the speakers.

This past Wednesday, I dragged my friend to a local sports bar, Big Wangs, and proceeded to perform, “Forgot About Dre” by Dr. Dre and Eminem. Yeah, um, everyone was like…What is this Asian girl doing?
It was GREAT! haha… At the end of the song, I took the mike and said, “Um,  you should also upload your documents.”

Just kidding.  If I did that, people would’ve thrown their hot wings at me, for sure.
