Hip- Hop started with us...
Kool Herc. Anybody remember him? Maybe, some know him as Clive Campbell from Kingston, Jamaica. Yeah, Clive started hip-hop. He took something that he fooled around with down at home and brought it to the Bronx, where it exploded to a multi-billion dollar industry. You know what's even worse, this man ain't even a billionaire. Ain't that some shit?!?!? Bill Gates, started Microsoft. Instant billionaire. Richest man on the planet. DJ Kool Herc, started hip-hop. Never made one hit. But you know what? It's cool. We love him because he kept the peace. When there was violence in the BX, Kool Herc would 'break' out his turntables and mix some funky James Brown records and spin it and switch it up so the youth and the people of the day would have something to get down to. He didn't need millions of dollars to be heard. He just walked up into the park, took the power from the streetlight and it was on and poppin' for the rest of the night. We have something like that down in Jamaica, it's called Reggae Sunsplash.

Reinvention of style & dress
Mi a talk about dem tight-fittin' capris wit da Adidas, off-white, wit the off-white cap and the marina wit da hole in dem, make 'em look like fishnet. AH WHA DAT!! Now that style, believe it or not, is actually quite comfortable. If you've never been to Jamaica, then imagine a beautiful day, about 90 degrees outside but there's a nice breeze blowing through. Now think about what I'm wearing, is that not quite comfortable? I think so. Jamaicans are not into basketball shorts because we play futbol and run. You wear shorts above the knee for more mobility. If ya want to look sexy and trendy, ya wear da capris or denim shorts wit a breezy shirt or marina so ya don't make pools a sweat. Remember, Jamaican men must always be ready for a You never know what may pull her ova to you. One more thing, there's this new fad or I guess it's been here for a while, to wear these tight, skinny jeans and push them below the ass and wear a belt, I might add, a name belt at that, with some kind of name brand sneaker or shoe that match the tight polo or short-sleeve shirt with chains that you can probably buy at a thrift store. I'm not against the style of dress but some take it too far so that it's overdone. There is a limit but some have gone past it a long time ago. Personally, I don't like it, mainly cuz Jamaicans have, what my grandfather likes to say, chicken-legs, where the legs are skinny like a chicken's, so the skinny jeans thing may work. However, for me, my thighs are a lil' bigger than a chicken's so those skinny jeans would be too skinny for me.

Mockery...
I know I'm supposed to wait til I get out all the kinks out but too many people pissed me off today with their fuckin' ignorance and disrespect.
OK, this topic pisses me off. I HATE when people misuse the accent or americanize popular Jamaican sayings. That shit is so fuckin' annoying!! If one more person says, "Yea man, BOOUP! BOOUP! BOOUP!" You know what I'm a do, mi a box ya in ya rassclaat!! Mi a tomp ya in ya face!! Now I understand, when you encounter Jamaicans, you cannot help yourself but notice our beautiful and unique accent that is special to the people of the Caribbean. However, using it as a tool to describe a culture requires some ignorance and stupidity. If you say, "Jamaica, Jamaica, Welcome to Jamrock!" I'm goin' to ask, 'Where is that from? Who created that song? What is the song's deeper meaning?' If you can't answer those questions, you need to educate yourself about our culture and our history because shit like that is offensive to our people and our nation. HAVE SOME BUMBACLAAT MANNAS! A WHA YA TINK DIS IS? EEEH? Don't intertwine violence and Jamaicans either, if you don't know, you better ask somebody! DON'T ASK ME FOR NO GODDAMN WEED!!! I hate that shit! Don't ask me if my cousin is Usain Bolt! Don't ask me for some curry chicken, some rice & peas with some cabbage because you tink that's all mi eat! Stay in school. Don't ask me about the latest dances or what she said! I'm not your fuckin' translator!! If you don't know, you better find out...

And It Still Continues...in more a sophisticated fashion....
This is fuckin' unbelievable. I don't know if I could have this much restraint...Bless that man, for real...This is copied directly from CNN...
NFL Player Detained While Relative Died
"I can screw you over," he said at one point in the videotaped incident. When another officer came with word that Moats' mother-in-law was indeed dying, Powell's response was: "All right. I'm almost done."
Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle apologized to the family and announced that Powell would be on paid leave pending an internal investigation.
"When we at the command staff reviewed the tape, we were embarrassed, disappointed," Kunkle said. "It's hard to find the right word and still be professional in my role as the police chief. But the behavior was not appropriate."
Police officials said Powell told his commanders he believed he was doing his job, and that he drew his gun but did not point it. Kunkle said Powell was not necessarily acting improperly when he pulled his weapon out, but that once he realized what was happening should have put the gun back, apologized and offered to help the family in any way.
"His behavior, in my opinion, did not exhibit the common sense, the discretion, the compassion that we expect our officers to exhibit," Kunkle said.
"He was pointing a gun at me as soon as I got out of the car," Tamishia Moats told The Dallas Morning News.
Video from a dashboard camera inside the officer's vehicle, obtained by Dallas-Fort Worth station WFAA-TV, revealed an intense exchange in which the officer threatened to jail Moats.
He ordered Tamishia Moats, 27, to get back in the SUV, but after pausing for a few seconds, she and another woman rushed into the hospital. She was by the side of her mother, 45-year-old Jonetta Collinsworth, when she died a short time later from breast cancer.
"Get in there," said Powell, yelling at Tamishia Moats as she exited the vehicle. "Let me see your hands!"
"Excuse me, my mom is dying," Tamishia Moats said. "Do you understand?"
Kunkle said the video showed that Moats and his wife "exercised extraordinary patience, restraint in dealing with the behavior of our officer."
"At no time did Mr. Moats identify himself as an NFL football player or expect any kind of special consideration," Kunkle said. "He handled himself very, very well."
The Moats family, who are black, said they can't help but think that race might have played a part in the white officer's behavior.
"I think he should lose his job," Ryan Moats said.
When the exchange was at its most contentious, Powell said he could tow Moats' SUV if he didn't have insurance and that he could arrest him for fleeing because he didn't immediately stop when Powell turned on his sirens. The pursuit lasted a little more than a minute.
"I can screw you over," Powell said. "I'd rather not do that. Your attitude will dictate everything that happens."
The ticket issued to Moats was dismissed, Dallas police spokesman Lt. Andy Harvey said.
Moats, a third-round draft choice of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005 out of Louisiana Tech, was cut by the Eagles in August and later signed with the Texans. In three seasons as a backup, he's rushed for 441 yards and scored four touchdowns.
He was a standout at Bishop Lynch High School, a private school in Dallas, rushing for more than 2,600 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior.

Rock For Haiti
I wanna give a shout-out to the people that performed at the Rock for Haiti concert (Truth Be Told). The concert was very informative in the beginning and poppin at the end. Those pictures and images were disturbing but that's the truth right in front of your eyes. I jus wanna say blitz was off the chain. His performance this year was crazier than last year. For those that didn't attend last year, it was his first time coming to Lehigh so he was up on stage by himself kinda getting to know the audience asking us questions doing a Q&A kinda thing. I appreciated that and his promo album that he was giving out was hot. But this year, he brought the whole embassy and shit. Yo, mad shout-outs to that man for doing his thing.
Now y'all can't tell that this shit ain't hot. Biggups to this Blitz the Ambassador for comin' thru and rockin' the house.
