Happy Mothers Day.. :)

We Got HIM!!

*First thing that came to mind when I heard the news!!! hahaha

*After nearly two decades of terror, Osama Bin Ladin was finally brought to an end earlier this week. It was an raid authorized by President Obama on the suspected household of Osama near Abbottabad, Pakistan. The raid was a Joint operation that included U.S. Navy SEALS and the CIA. Bin Ladin was fatally shot in both the head and chest. Soon after the successful mission, President Obama officially announced the death of Bin Ladin and a "worldwide caution" for Americans has been announced. People all over the world celebrated this historic event on the on-going fight against terror.

Although this is the end of Bin Ladin himself, his legacy lives on and the war on terror shall continue as well as our foreign policy nor our fear of national security. But for the mean time we can all enjoy this moment and view it as perhaps minor progress against the war on terror.

R.I.P. B.I.G.

*March 9, 1997 - Marks the very tragic day in which Christopher George Latore Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G.; arguably the greatest MC of All-Time; was gunned down in Los Angeles by an unknown assailant, during the promotion of his album (Life After Death). Now 14 years later, we honor his passing from earth through the music in which he still lives in.. I believe Biggie Smalls will forever be recognized as one if not the greatest lyricist EVER, and his impact in Hip-Hop set new heights, in which no one in my opinion has been able to reach since.

MAY YOU REST IN PARADISE

First Step..

Just Because: History

*In honor of Dilla's B-DAY, I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite tracks produced by Dilla himself. The song is called History and is off Mos Def's 2009 album The Ecstatic which is seriously DOPE AF.. BLACKSTAR!!

*Hit the jump for the music video..

R.I.P. Jay Dee

*For those whom may not have known, today marks what would have been the 37th birthday to James Dewitt Yancey better known as Jay Dee or J Dilla. One of the greatest if not the greatest Hip-Hop producer of ALL TIME.. J Dilla was part of Slum Village producing most of their work, but also had  produced for a wide range of other Hip-Hop greats such as the likes of Common, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Raekwon, and Erykah Badu. But unfortunately was not truely recognized for his work until after his death. J Dilla died on February 10, 2006 from a rare blood disease shortly after his 32nd birthday do to cardiac arrest..

MAY YOU REST IN BEATS.. JAY DEE

*Hit the jump for a documentary on Dilla..

G is for Greatness

*After a long fought battle, the Green Bay Packers took advantage of an early lead in the game, and managed to edge out the win in Superbowl XLV and bring the Lombardi trophy back to its rightful home. The final score of the game was 31-25..

Overall I thought this years football season was great, a lot of upsets & comebacks; definitely excited for next season.. And as for the Packers, I was not only glad to see a NFC team take the Superbowl back to back. But an underdog/wildcard team at that.

But I believe with all the hard work they put in, especially coming in as a wildcard, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, top-ranked Atlanta Falcons and their rivals the Chicago Bears, and overcoming the Steelers.. the win was well earned.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

*I purchased the game on tuesday, and wasted most of my 4-day weekend playing it. When I first started the game, I noticed a familiar voice as the announcer and quickly realized that it was one of my TOP/Fav. MC's ever.

 I was surprised at first but I knew that a rapper was going to make an appearance, as 50 Cent did on Modern Warfare 2. Ice Cube also contributes to the campaign mode of Black Ops as Joseph Bowman.

OHH and Nazi zomies is the SHIT.!!
