Please read this

The plan is called REX 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984. Through Rex-84 an undisclosed number of concentration camps were set in operation throughout the United States, for internment of dissidents and others potentially harmful to the state.

The Rex 84 Program was originally established on the reasoning that if a "mass exodus" of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA.

Existence of the Rex 84 plan was first revealed during the Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987, and subsequently reported by the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987

" These camps are to be operated by FEMA should martial law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached."

And there you have it ~ the real purpose of FEMA is to not only protect the government but to be its principal vehicle for martial law.

This is why FEMA could not respond immediately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster ~ humanitarian efforts were no longer part of its job description under the Department of Homeland Security.

Traveling abroad is an amazing experience and I beseech you all to pursue any opportunity to do it.

I said I'd never fall in love

Many of us say we enjoy being single and all that noise but these two are enough to make you quit it all. Question is it wrong if you date sisters? I mean If you are faithful to both of them and you treat them like queens, shouldn't one man be allowed to date two at a time. I might really be in love, I think twins are going to be the death of me.

Air Jordan 3 (III) / Air Force One Fusion - White / Fire Red - Cement Grey - Black

I have already previewed several colorways in the Air Jordan 3 (III) / Air Force One Fusion series, but the nicest color scheme is the one that I am are reporting on today. Modeled after the Air Jordan 3 (III) Retro 1994 - White / Cement Grey, they look like almost exact copies, but you have to really analyze them to see the differences. They feature an all white leather upper along with the infamous elephant print on the toe cap and heel areas. The make use of the Air Force One sol, but also feature Nike’s patented Air sole at the heel, which provides added cushioning and comfort. They are set to hit Jordan Brand accounts on September 6, 2008, and will retail for $135.

Black in America getting better?

The House of Representatives is set to pass a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for slavery and the era of Jim Crow:

The nonbinding resolution, which is expected to pass, was introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, a white lawmaker who represents a majority black district in Memphis, Tennessee. While many states have apologized for slavery, it will be first time a branch of the federal government will apologize for slavery if the resolution passes, an aide to Cohen said.

By passing the resolution, the House would also acknowledge the “injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow.” The resolution does not address the controversial issue of reparations. Some members of the African-American community have called on lawmakers to give cash payments or other financial benefits to descendents of slaves as compensation for the suffering caused by slavery. The resolution states that “the vestiges of Jim Crow continue to this day.”

“African-Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim Crow — long after both systems were formally abolished — through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty, the frustration of careers and professional lives, and the long-term loss of income and opportunity,” the resolution states.

The House would also commit itself to stopping “the occurrence of human rights violations in the future,” if it passes the resolution. The resolution will not be the first time lawmakers have apologized to an ethnic group for past injustices.

More for you Fusion Heads

Here is a sneak peak exclusive look at the Air Jordan Force 6 (VI) Fusion which is a combination of the Air Jordan 6 and Air Force Ones. From what we can see the shoe has the tongue of the Air Jordan VI and ventilating holes throughout the shoe. The sneaker also has a clear icy sole all encased in a black/white/red colorway. This particular pair takes its inspiration from the Air Jordan 6 (VI) Original (OG) - White / Infared which was released back in February 1990! Unfortunately the shoe is set to release in 2009 but you can at least know what to expect.

Man, Jordan is Killing it right now.

The Air Jordan 11 and Air Jordan 12 will indeed be released together as a Countdown Package later on this year. The pack is rumored to feature the Air Jordan 11 (XI) Retro - Space Jams, as well as the retro version of the Air Jordan 12 (XII) Original (OG) - White / Varsity Red - Black. The featured pictures here are of the original releases and are not concrete. This package is the most hyped up and will cause mass hysteria among Jordan fans. We do not have a set release date as of yet but can tell you that they will be release by the end of this year or maybe going into 2009.

Freeway Ricky

After speaking to Allhiphop earlier this week, former drug trafficker “Freeway” Ricky Ross expresses some additional thoughts via his official blog.

There are a lot of things going on right now with the rapper that stole my identity. It’s been tough on me because part of me whats to jump on him and beat him in the ground for being so arrogant and disrespectful, and then there is another part that said judge another brother that the system has made a clown out of. Build him up and now they are going to let him be turned down. I know that Def Jam is probably going to abandon him now, just another puppet, and they start to look for another to replace him. What people need to do is look at the root, because Def Jam is just as responsible as he is. Now you know they did a back ground check, but they don’t care what they feed our kids as long as they get their dollars. When will we wake up America and learn that there are more important things than the all mighty dollar? It took me going to prison to wake up. Is it going to take us to lose our country? Because America is definitely falling. Just about everybody I talk to tells me how hard it is in almost every industry. I don’t know, maybe I am confused. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS THING OUT!!!

Peace.

Ignorance at it's finest

Jim Jones is a complete moron, does he forget that he is black, I'm not even black but I am for the movement against Faux News. By the way, doesn't the "Black in America" series focus on the negative and the worst of the worst.

By the way has anyone heard of the black guy tasered to death. How do you taser someone to death.

NBA can Pub my nuts

Have you all heard about Brandon Jennings? Young Money hails from LA but played his high school years at Oak hill Academy the same school that Melo attended. Well Mr. Jennings has decided that instead of going to college for a year and acting interested he will spend the mandatory year before he is eligible for the nba draft hooping professionally in Europe. I love that move and I am glad dude to the NBA to pub his nuts. If someone gets on your nerves today tell them to
Pub your Nuts.

Damn I hate being wrong

Funny, I posted the wrong flyer earlier. One of the Getright crew hollered at me and I told him to pub my nuts then I realized I made the mistake. I'm man enough to admit when I am wrong but pub my nuts made me laugh. Lenny or Lonnie still isn't as good of a Host as JMD. LEt's go Dolphin

China does not care about black people

You’d think with the horrible reputation China has around the world concerning human rights violations and the situation with Tibet, they’d be on their best behavior during the Olympics.
Well…. not quite.
Bar owners in the epicenter of the Olympic nightlife have been asked to sign pledges vowing not to serve Black or Mongolian patrons, by uniformed police.
Bar owners near the Workers’ Stadium in central Beijing say they have been forced by Public Security Bureau officials to sign pledges agreeing not to let black people enter their premises.
“Uniformed Public Security Bureau officers came into the bar recently and told me not to serve black people or Mongolians,” said the co-owner of a western-style bar, who asked not to be named.
I just hope there aren’t any acts of violence once black visitors are rejected when they just want to have a good time. I’m having visions of the opening scene in “Menace II Society”

WTF

I really don't know what Justin Timberlake was thinking but this whole scene seemed mighty racist.

CNN:Black in America

Tonight Cnn is airing another part of it's Black in America Special. I don't want to sound ignorant but there are some prevailing issues that should be addressed with regard to "Black in America." Now I am not sure what this series hopes to accomplish but it seems as if CNN is trying to get America to realize the Black people are Americans also. Certain things should be pointed out though, If you are truly attempting to potray people as american maybe you wouldn't refer to them as black. Since black land has yet to be discovered maybe they should have called the series," The African American Experience". I got the chance to watch a few segments of the Black in America and at no point during the discussions about racsim is white privlage adequately defined or disscussed. One of the prevailing issues in American race relations is the fact that certain groups of people don't even realize they have a bias. We have to shake the minds of the status quo before we are ready to discuss the "black experience" in America. Sometimes my fellow white people make me shake my head.

I dont wear Adidas but I'll make an exception

With the ressesion in full swing I feel guilty for paying over $500 on a single pair of sneakers. Have no fear, Adidas has created a new style, which has been called the Adidas BW Army Mid Clean, which features a simple, fashionable design. They are very similar to high end fashion shoes which are all the craze now a days. They feature an all white hight top design, along with the oversized tongue, which is probably the most intriguing feature to people who like this style.

I am so angry that these have to be retired.

Nike Air Yeezy - Black Colorway - New Pictures

Perhaps the most mysterious shoe of the year, the NikeAir Yeezy is truly an enigma, as all we have seen so far have been several color schemes on the rapper’s actual feet. Here we feature yet another, unknown color scheme, which feature an all black leather upper, along with a white toe cap, out sole, and a large amount of perforations spread across the upper. still no word on a release date for any of these, but I’ll gladly keep you guys updated

Where do you draw the line?

Ok there are some things we must not accept, grown men with pocahontas hair is one of them. How can you be upwards of 19 and wear you hair like a small indian woman named golden claw? Bricks you might be a solid rapper but I can't allow this nonsense to be paraded about without comment. Keep your hair braided on cut it but under no circumstances are you to walk around like an ugly girl.

What I learned From Yardnic

I know it is late but I was reflecting on how much fun I had at yardnic and I came up with ten lessons I gleaned from the best hood festival in America.

10. Bloods are a positive group of people for the most part
9. Just because they give you a bottomless cup doesn't mean you should drink all day
8. Bloods can cook like a mu**a f**a
7. The gang problem in Pasadena is Media Hype,things are not that bad
6. Girls will never stop using prostyle to slick their hair down
5. The City of Pasadena knows about Yardnic
4.The Yards should form an INC.
3. I can't wait until next year
2. The pasadena police have instituted a curfew for black outdoor events, they will show up at dusk to make sure all negro events are broken up.
1. If you don't wear a fresh white tee to Yardnic you are inappropriately attired.

LOS ANGELES - The Metropolitan Transportation Authority more than doubled the maximum amount of funding earmarked for the Metro Gold Line if a proposed half-cent sales tax increase is approved by voters in November.

The MTA's new project list, which allocates money for rail, bus and highway projects countywide, recommends $735 million for the Gold Line project if the tax is passed - up from $328 million in previous reports.

Album of the Year!

Nas’ potential is so immense that it puts him in the uncomfortable position of living up to a level of artistic greatness that presumably doesn’t exist. Case in point, Illmatic was an unintentional classic. It came at a time when Hip Hop wasn’t begging for a savior. Nas just became its leader. There was no pressing cultural issue that demanded an icon. Nas just rolled his young sleeves up and menaced the microphone. There wasn’t enough media attention surrounding Nas to question - or demand change to - a controversial line like “When I was twelve I went to hell for snuffing Jesus” off of his guest spot on “Live at the Bar-B-Que” as there is today. There was no pressure to make a classic. And that’s how classics are made.

Since that template has been set, everyone has expected Nasir Jones to eclipse that timeless piece of work. The fact of the matter is that it will be impossible to nail it like Illmatic did. It was equal parts timing and brilliance. But Nas has been trapped under that microscope of critics and fans alike and often succumbed a bit to the pressure. It’s not Nas’ fault. It never appeared that he made Illmatic with the idea of making millions. It just happened that way.

Every piece of work since has been compared to his debut and it appeared that even Nas was uncomfortable with what he saw in the mirror. Realizing he has no peers in today’s generation of Hip Hop artists, Nas has stood alone in this industry. And it does indeed get lonely at the top. Because of that, he has created work that is more reflective of those who are artistically beneath him rather than put the blinders on and do what he does best. Each of his 7 works following Illmatic have embraced this to some capacity. Some have been critically acclaimed (Stillmatic) while others have been critically panned but commercially successful (Nastradamus). Regardless, it seemed that Nas was too conscious of what people thought rather than making what he thought was great.

Imagine if Prince made music featuring – or reflecting – Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z or Dr. Dre. While it may sound good in theory, the fact is that Prince has never needed these artists to define him and because of that he will always remain a musical genius. Nas needs no peer to define him. Simply put, it’s a race that Nas has already won but he just doesn’t know it yet. But with his 9th studio album it can be perceived that he may have finally figured out he has always been ahead of his class.

When Nas initially named his album "Nigger," it was Nas not giving a fuck what anybody thought. Just like when he created Illmatic. It was all about him and what he wanted to do – whether we liked it or not. Although controversy and constant criticism from the album’s initial title may have placed doubts on how great of an album it can be, none of this has stopped Untitled from lyrically being his most consistent and daring project since Illmatic.

What Untitled does is bring Nas to the masses minus the big budget cameos, the glossy camera tricks and any other far reaching method to claim crossover success. Nas is beyond that for the most part. Untitled finds Nas doing Nas with absolutely no concerns about how the critics or fans will take to this project. It’s damn near Illmatic all over again – but this time with a message.

On this outing there are no beats by Kanye West, no features with Lil Wayne, no songs about mink coats and popping bottles and no lyrical gimmicks. It is just Nas and his mic – which is pretty much how it should be. Jay Electronica’s naked piano loop on “Queens Get The Money” raises the proverbial curtain on this lyrical monologue and sets the tone early by clearly stating that Nas means business.

Although stripped of its original title, Untitled still utilizes a loosely knitted concept surrounding the controversial N-Word. Nas goes places where only the likes of Public Enemy, KRS-1 and dead prez have gone before him. But Nas’ lyrical eloquence takes front and center stage to personify the ideology of using Hip Hop as the soundtrack to the revolution while creating thought provoking social commentary.

“N.I.*.*.E.R. (The Slave And The Master)” is Nas at his most powerful as he waxes poetic about the African American struggle in America. There’s a certain enriching manner that Nas addresses the N-Word that makes it look more like a study rather than the rampant usage of a word. This isn’t Nas celebrating the N-Word, but rather bringing forth the idea that – in one way or another – “Niggers” will always exist. This is best personified by the brilliant narrative “Project Roach” where The Last Poets scorn the supposed burial of a word in favor of uplifting those who the name has been bestowed upon before Nas spits from the perspective of a roach. The obvious comparison between the word and roaches is done as provocative as only Nas could do.

“Y’all My Niggas” breaks down the ideology behind the word and offers some lyrical insight (“Yo I was thinking a little bit/What would it take to authenticate my nigga-ness/ball ridiculous/26 inches when I call up the dealership/aw that’s some nigga shit”) while “Fried Chicken” finds Nas alongside Busta Rhymes and a funky Mark Ronson production as they affectionately play with stereotypes. If there’s any two artists that can illustrate their food fetish, it would be Nas and Busta.

Nas has always been criticized for his production. Since his flawless debut, there hasn't been an album where the production fit the artist. Although the criticism can't be completely be put to rest on Untitled, it certainly be silenced for the time being. The surprising appointment of dead prez' stic.man proves to be an excellent decision as stic's plush production rolls on "We're Not Alone." Elsewhere, DJ Toomp's “N.I.*.*.E.R. (The Slave And The Master)” thumps triumphantly while Green Lantern provides a marching aesthetic to "Black President." What Nas has done is employ production that doesn't overpower his lyricism and forces the listener to hear Nas.

Untitled is not a complete examination of the “N” Word. “Sly Fox” takes a hard look at the “fair and balanced” Fox network and the aforementioned “Black President” deals directly at the mere concept of having a black man running the White House

There are a couple of songs that restrict it from becoming an instant classic. The glaze of commercial sheen that Polow Da Don and Keri Hilson spray on "Hero" turn Nas’ brainstorm to a slight overcast. Although there are no complaints with rhyming alongside The Game on “Make The World Go Round,” Nas’ appointing of Chris Brown makes the song the biggest commercial reach on the album. Although both songs “work” to some degree, it adds some turbulence to an otherwise smooth flight.

With Untitled it appears that Nas truly understands and embraces that you cannot please everyone. Because of that, he has rid himself of the handcuffs that fans and critics have bound him with and expresses true creative freedom. As long as he realizes that the people believe in him and will follow him just because he is Nas, he can continue to create ambitious projects such as this.

If you are going to be this blatant at least have the decency to admit it, when asked about the cover the New Yorker claimed it was a satirical representation of how many people feel about the couple. Again some white people make me sad I was born an Anglo Saxon.

Wedding Game

You gotta respect the wedding swagger of Patrice Davis. When you get married in France not many people will be able to top that. I have to tip my hat to the Parisian wedding.

Who I'd like to wake up to everyday

No one ever takes the time to big up good women, so I decided to. Courtney Broadous is the ideal girlfriend. Good morals, legs to die for and her smooth onyx skin will make you melt. We gotta give the good ones props.

Obama Ya'll

As the Democratic convention approaches B-Roc will be narrowing down the list of possible vp's . Who do you all think is the best possible choice for V.P.?

Bill Richardson
You know him, you love him; he's the New Mexico governor with a heart of gold, a kickin' mustache, and -- thanks to James Carville -- a new nickname.

Pro: You've heard them all before. A foreign policy resume a mile long, executive experience, and a lock with Hispanic voters. And he picked Obama, despite his Clinton ties.

Con: Did you watch any of the debates?

Joe Biden
He is Mr. Foreign Policy. He also claims the best line of the primary season thus far. Too bad no one told Iowans he was running for President.

Pro: He trumps any foreign policy claims that McCain brings to the table. He can hit McCain hard.

Con: He tends to hit everyone hard. And he's a Washington figure, which could hurt a campaign running against Washington.

Jim Webb
Webb is the closest thing to a frontrunner for Obama's VP these days. A former Republican, he served as Secretary of the Navy for Ronald Reagan. Webb defeated George "Macaca" Allen to become a junior senator in Virginia.

Pro: Webb is a good foil for Obama's post-partisan message, and he's got the military credentials to match up with John McCain. He's good at playing the attack dog, which will let Obama take the high road. And he's from trending-blue Virginia, which would be a great pickup in November for Democrats. He's also pro-guns.

Con: Webb can be a little out-of-control as attack dogs go.

Wesley Clark
Rhodes Scholar turned four-star general and once-presidential candidate. A star resource for Democrats on military affairs.

Pro: John McCain would have to salute him. And he has Southern appeal.

Con: Backed Clinton early and has been a very active surrogate. Not always the best politician on a national stage.

Yo This dude is a genius.

Great Question

How do you tell someone their breath needs...assistance?

During my nightly conversation with my loving girlfriend of now 7 months, ["...i love you babycakes!"] The way she tells the story, she and a friend went out for a fun filled night on the town. Pretty ordinary, Right? But went on to tell me that her company asked her if she had any gum. With confidence in her thorough oral hygene regiment, she replied, "No." So as the night progress they made their from spot to spot enjoying the night sky and the interesting people under it. It was only after her company purchased a pack of Certs and handed to her, did she begin to question if she was as "fresh as she thought". So she called me to ask if her breath was in need of assistance? Well, since I was approximately 1129 miles away and i cant afford the taste and smell plan from Sprint, I gave her a confident No. " I love the way your breath smells baby." She eventually made a full recovery from what was surely an awkward moment between her, her company, her breath, and the Certs.

MY ANALYSIS:

The brother was real smooth with how he said something that can be really difficult to say, DAMN!!! YOUR BREATH IS OFFENSIVE!!! See what I mean. That's as polite as I can get. My question is how would you have handled it?

--well a rose is a rose, no matter the fragrance?

Flashback Friday

Due to my lack of motivation yesterday, ThrowBack Thursday has become FlashBack Friday.



MC Lyte "Ruffneck"

Album: Ain't No Other (First Priority; 1993)
Songwriters: Aqil Davidson and MC Lyte
R&B Peak Position: #10

"He's a rudeboy, a ragamuff/ Ready to bag another brother that he ranks not ruff enough"

Long before Missy Elliott was throwing heaps of horny praise towards her cherished, gat-strapped "Hot Boys", rap icon (to both female and male emcees) MC Lyte was turning attention to her favorite type of dude on "Ruffneck", the 1993 Top Ten single that brought back fans who had been turned off by the overt crossover-leanings of her preceding album, Act Like You Know.

Over a brazen hip hop instrumental brewed up by Wreckx-N-Effect member Aqil Davidson, MC Lyte spills rhymes with hardened excitement as she reveals the street-tough credentials a man must have to get her lickin' her lips. Forget those prissy wimp boys with the office 9-to-5's and the closets fulf of preppy gear. Naw, Lyte craves a non-snitchin', gold grill havin', dark corners at night pissin', spliff-lightin' thug who shows "little respect" and has a daily routine that only consists of "Eat, sleep, shit, fuck/ Eat, sleep, shit" when they're not on the block trying "to make a quick buck" or dodging 5-0. And when it comes to sex? "He knows exactly how I want my flow, and that's slow," she swoons.

Like the best tunes from Lyte, "Ruffneck" excels from the rappress' clear and sturdy flow. Never once do you strain to understand what she's rhyming and each line holds weight within the topic. Throw in a sealed tight beat that has radio appeal without sounding too sellout-ish and the track exudes rap perfection. The public and industry agreed, helping "Ruffneck" become Lyte's first Top 10 R&B single and garner her her first Grammy nomination. She also took the honors of being the first female solo rap artist to earn a Gold single.

Best Moment: When she describes her idea of the perfect male visual: "Drinkin' a beer, sittin' in his chair/ Hands in his pants fiddlin' with his dick hairs" (Ewwww...) (1:33)

Lets Take a trip to Paris....

Many of you know of the Burgundy Air Jordan V (5), well this pair of Air Force Fusion V’s probably took inspiration for their colorway from that shoe. The “Wine n’ Grind” were created to pay tribute to Quai 54 which is a streetball tournament held in Paris. They are also rumored to have taken inspiration from the Air Jordan XXIII (23) but that isn’t certain. They are available now exclusively in Paris.

What can I say? I guess I woke up thinking about Kicks this morning

The UK based sneaker shop Size? has just received a shipment of this nice colorway in the Nike Air Max Light model. They feature a white mesh toe box, along with grey nu buck on the side panels, as well as black and laser blue accents. They are simple, but make a great addition to any fanatic’s collection.

Jordan Spizike Black/ Gold

This pair of Air Jordan Spizikes have started hitting select accounts over in Europe. They feature a black durabuck and leather upper, along with gold accents which include some contrast stitching. They also feature a laser pattern with gold filling as opposed to the typical elephant print that we are used to seeing, as well as a gold outsole. They may be like the Cool Grey editions, which were released as a European exclusive, but no word yet as to any U.S. release. via Caliroots.

Air Jordan Count Down Pack

The newest Countdown Pack part of the Air Jordan Collezoine campaign is the 4 + 19 combination. The crowd favorite Air Jordan 4’s will come in the proven classic Black/Cement Grey/Fire Red colorway, and the newer 19’s will be in a similar colorway of Black/Chrome/Varsity Red. This pack will be will be available starting July 19th.

Reggie Bush is Sexy

Midgets Lose Games

As a current student at UCLA, a son of Pasadena, and all our bruins fan I realized the bruins have not been to the rose bowl since the game against Colorado. Once I began to reflect on that game against Colorado I realized one person might be to blame. Our friend Brett Mitchell or Mr. Mitchell as my little sister calls him(he is her teacher). Brett was murdered that game by Colorado's corners and because of him the bruins might be cursed. Now alot of you will agrue one man that stands 4'11 can not be held responsible for a team lose but in my unreal world I can blame who ever I want. LEt's get a bruins rosebowl ring in 2010 and Please Mr. Mitchell stay away from that game. My bad Brett is not a midget he is a dwarf see he has a grown up head on a 10 year olds body so that means he is a dwarf. I stand correctted.

R.I.P. Batman

I was in class today and I had a thought about my mentor Mr. Green. I was really young when he was my mentor but regardless of my race he treated me like a brother. I miss being able to call him and ask for advice or just talk about anything. I hope you are enjoying heaven Mr. Green and I will see you one day.

A beautiful Sight

I love to see everybody having a good time.

Could this be possible

Please correct me because I know that this cannot be true. I am being told that Magic Man Mike Mimms was responsible for organizing the best party of the summer AKA the White Party.

Thoughts on interacial familes.

As a young white man with a passion for African American women lately I find my affinity towards beautiful black women growing. I realize though we may have come a long ways since the 50's there are still staunch opposers of interacial dating. The question I find no answer to is why? How can we be so bold as to judge a person for who they fall in love with. Will it get easier for me as I get older?I am not sure. One thing I want to examine is where the most opposition is coming from, are more African American families against their daughters bringing home white men ? At times it seems some in the African American community might be continuing the hate. All in all let us live and let live.

Some Monday Pretty

Oh summer school is killing me but she makes it a little easier. Stay in the house today kids it is going to be a hot one.

Throwback Thursday

Mariah Carey Ft. Bone Thugs N Harmony " Breakdown"

Album: Butterfly (Columbia; 1998)
Songwriters: Mariah Carey, Anthony Henderson, Stanley Howse, Stevie Jordan and Charles Scruggs
Peak Position: #4

The "Fantasy (Remix)" might stand as Mariah Carey's greatest hip-pop confection, but when it comes to her best marriage of urban-soul and rap, that honor should be bestowed on "Breakdown", a typically overlooked gem from Carey's 1998 "bye bye marriage"/ "hello bootie shorts" LP Butterfly that found her trading vocal melodies with Grammy-winning Cleveland rap collective Bone Thugs N Harmony.

Once again her collaboration choices were questionable (could you imagine the diva rocking E. 1999 Eternal in her CD collection?), but Mariah was definitely on to something, recognizing that the combination of Bone's intricate four-part harmonies and her eight octave vocal histrionics could result in a highlight musical moment for her.

She was right.

Sublimely produced by Mariah alongside Puffy and one of his top Hitmen Stevie J., "Breakdown" continued Carey's journey into heavier R&B/ hip hop sounds with it's massive chord drops and typewriter-esque drum track evoking a shadowy hue of gloom-filled days and teary-eyed nights (The track slightly favored the funeral stalk of Bone's "Crossroads"). Why the depressing mood? Carey's boyfriend has just revealed to her that he's "just not in love" with her. To his face and to her friends, she feigns understanding ("Immediately/ I pretended to be/ Feeling similarly/ And led you to believe it was okay..."), but beneath her smiling facade his confession has completely shattered her, leaving her to spend many sleepless nights alone trying to figure out what she's supposed to do next ("Do you cling to your pride?/ And sing 'I Will Survive'/ Do you lash out and say/ 'How dare you leave this way?'/ Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?").

Fluidly intertwining their singsong chants with her sulking coos, Bone spend most of the record instigating Mariah's situation ("Break-breakdown", they hauntingly taunt) before deciding on aiding her out of her funk with some inspiring thug comfort. "It'll break you down only if you let it/ Everday crazy situations rocking my mind/ Tryin' to break me down/ But I won't let it/
Forget it," Wish offers. "Yeah, I can feel pressures ya'll/ But never the less Krayzie won't fall/ It's over, it's ending here," raps Krayzie.

Quite a different look for the previously squeaky clean pop princess, "Breakdown" presented a dark edge that Carey had rarely, if ever, showcased in her music. Released as a double A-side with "My All" to simultaneously target both her mainstream pop fans and more urban-favoring followers, the record didn't get the most airplay attention out of the two, but earned great respect as one of the better recordings of her career. Interestingly, it would also influence a new era of female R&B in which breathy, rapid-fire vocals and more equally-complimenting singer/ rapper partnerships became the norm.

Best Moment: The song's high-note-heavy climax where Carey unleashes a vocal "breakdown" of Academy Award-sized proportion (3:11)

A letter from J. King

Greetings,

It is summer and I decided to have a sit down chat with myself, a little self critique never hurts.

I'm going to kick it at the white party so if you have problems or you just want to show love come holla at your boy. My grammar is poor some people hate me but I love all of you and I am ready for to enjoy all this place has to offer. See you all tommrow and let's get to this party.

Respectfully,

J. King

It's summer so you need a weekend trip

Summer is upon us and while we are breaking from the mundane we must remember that holiday requires travel. If you need a trip but don't have the cash to hit the french riviera take a drive up the coast and visit Isla Vista. A sleepy town outside of Santa Barbara, Isla Vista or IV as it is known to most boasts a crazy night life, plenty of good food, and beautiful women to keep you company. Please my friends take the drive, I know gas is expensive but this is worth the 17 dollars a gallon.

Why make war?

Aliens are cold chillin

Scientists confirm they have "found proof" of water ice on Mars away from the polar ice caps, a discovery made by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander. The finding is a crucial first step toward learning whether the ground on Mars is hospitable, because all life as we know it requires water. When the probe took photos of a ditch it had dug, scientists noticed that about eight small crumbs of a bright material had disappeared. They concluded those crumbs had been water ice buried under a thin layer of dirt that vaporized when Phoenix exposed them to the air. Phoenix's robotic arm first revealed the crumbs about 5 cm deep in the trench called "Dodo-Goldilocks" on June 15 (see attached photo). By June 19, they had vanished. If the crumbs had been salt, they wouldn't have disappeared, scientists said, and if the ice had been made of carbon dioxide, they wouldn't have vaporized.

One Step Closer to the Air McFLy's

SO it looks like we might be getting closer to the Automatic lace up Nikes. Nike is doing an Air McFLy colore way to the Hyperdunks. It is only a matter of time before Nike breaks down and produces the Air McFlys and I will be right there in the front of the line at NEO39 when the do drop.

And you thought good ole George was gonna go quietly

Ugh Ohhhh. I had been trying to figure out when and what bush was going to do to help Joh McCain and it looks like he has answered both questions. SO bush will be out of office in a few months jan 20 2009 to be exact. Before GW leaves the white house he is planning to start another war, this time with Iran. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the current president of iran has been boasting about his Iran's advancements in neuclear technology over the past 6 months and GW plans to go into the country and destroy some WMDs.

You might be asking what this has to do with Mc Cain but oh it has alot. THe second time bush ran for office we were in the middle of a war and people don't switch presidents during war. Similarly if Bush can start another war before leaving he will a. force McCain to run a campaign based heavily on military exprience and b. force McCain to become apart of team bush. That means they are trying to scare us into voting for a "warhero." Do not be fooled by the underhandedness of our current president.
