Who Doesn't Want Some Sippy Sipp For X-Mas?
Ciroc Snap Frost Vodka (Suggested Retail $35.00)
Made from French grapes, this fine five-times-distilled vodka is making plenty of noise outside of being Diddy’s baby (he drinks his with pineapple juice). Few vodkas pack the crisp, light taste that this one does. This is a savvy addition to potluck events, as well as something to offer your guests in entertaining. Grey Goose and Belvedere step to the side as France makes its greatest contribution to the Hip Hop masses since MC Solaar.

5 For Friday...I Dont Like It Unless Its Brand New
#5 2 Pistols Feat T-Pain-She Got It
T-Pain has been killing it the last year, nuff said
#4 Kid Sister Featuring Kanye West-Pro Nails
Where's my skaters & Chi-town fam at?
#3 Alicia Keys-Like You'll Never See Me Again
I don't front if a song is dope Ima stand behind it. This is one of the best slow jams I have heard in a minute...maybe its because of where Im at in my life who knows but this is MY 5 for Friday =]
#2 Kanye West-Flashing Lights
My 2nd favorite song due to the insane synths, basically he was like oh Timbo gonna come with his ish, ummm here you go. Just for the record "Cant Tell Me Nothing" is my fav Grad song as well as my favorite song ever...just my anthem. This song should start getting some more radio play soon and I believe a video might surface as well.
#1 Usher Featuring Ludacris-Dat Girl Right There
Ok first let me say this by no means is close to as good as "Yeah" but the beat is nuts (no clue who did it) and its for sure to get some spins and whys Luda always kill a 16 but his own songs are usually lukewarm since Word Of Mouf...Luda c'mon man

This Is Family Business...
ish is sad...for real people make sure everyday you make sure you let those people you really care about and love, let em know...in the end family is all that matters, no matter how close you think you are to certain friends maybe only 1 or 2 would drop what they are doing and be there for you no matter what but tell me 1 person in your family that wouldn't be there in a second. I love you mom, I love you Amanda, Kelly, Becky, couple of my aunt and uncles, my grandmother, and yeah even my father!

RIP Donda West :(
Donda was an English professor for over 30 years at Chicago state university before retiring to become Kanye’s manager and recently wrote the book “Raising Kanye”. She also co-founded The Kanye West Foundation and has received numerous awards including “Outstanding Educator of the Year”.
This is a tragic loss for Kanye and his family.

Roc Boys Night Out In Chicago
Anyone who was able to attend the second stop on Jay-Z’s “American Gangster” tour. Wow.
Seriously, if you live in Chicago and you missed it. You lost. You really lost.
Other than the fact that most attendees had to wait over an hour and a half outside in this beautiful Chicago weather*, this concert really couldn’t have been much better.
The crowd was crazy and people claimed to have paid upwards of $600 per ticket. I know that the Rocafella Records website reported that the Chicago show sold out in 8 seconds, but I’d like to know who actually was able to purchase one of these tickets in 8 seconds…It seemed everyone I talked to had to go through an independent broker for them. Hmmm…
Jay took the stage around 12:30am and rocked until 2:00am with a 12 piece band. Never one to let his fans down, Hova brought out the (remaining) Roc Boys: Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel and Freeway to perform hits such as “Roc Da Mic” and “You, Me, Him, Her”.
I guess I forgot how deep Jigga’s catalogue runs; he really could have played all night and well into the morning. The crowd was lucky enough to hear a lot of American Gangster and hits such as “Jigga My…”, “PSA”, “What More Can I Say”, and “Excuse Me Miss”.
Sadly, he did nothing from Reasonable Doubt, Vol. 1 or 2, but he did let the crowd perform the entire first verse to “Big Pimpin” before exiting the stage.
Now I’d heard rumblings from an insider that Jay was going to bring out a “very special guest” for his Chicago performance, but when Jigga emerged for his “Encore” to the instrumental from “Diamonds from Sierra Leone”, it was pretty obvious who was coming out.
The hometown hero, Kanye West emerged from backstage and did an impromptu performance of “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Goodlife”. INSANITY!
Easily the highlight of the night was when all of the Roc Boys (sans Beans?) gathered on stage for the evenings (er…mornings) closer: “Roc Boys”. All seems well with Roc, at least it did last night. The video is above.
Junk Science-Roads
Brooklyn's Freshest Duo...check for em. Not really sold on the hook of this song but the only offical vid I could find
Candy Girl
Lol this ish came on my i-pod and why was it on there I know its from Love & Basketball...Im not gonna lie I this song its still fresh haha
Vote...
In one year we choose a new leader of the free world...our generation has to step up and show and prove. I myself am not political by any means. I try and follow things enough that I am not ignorant to issues or events, but by no means am I mad knowledgeable. I personally am for Giuliani due to his strong stance on re-vamping our judicial system and in my opinion he is a man who has proven himself in times of crisis. I also saw Obama speak in 05 in Mt Carroll, Illinois and he is a very intelligent young man and would make a great president but just not yet...I do agree with his stance on Iraq and immigration. It is just improtant we all get involved and we all vote. I had a tool that allowed you to click on issues that were important to you etc but I lost it, if I find it again I'll post the link

One OF My All-Time Favorites
Whoever wasn't up on Fionna Apple Circa 97 don't sleep...no pun intended
I'll make it hip-hop by saying the man who's been a life long co-producer for Fiona is Jon Brion who co-produced Kanye's Late Registration. Seriously some of these drums and like Portishead are more hip-hop than 90% of the ish out there now

Its Baaaacck
5 for Friday...act like I never told ya! Some joints to get the drinks flowin, party poppin, or just something to vibe out to...Yezzir
#5 50 Cent Feat Lil Kim-Wanna Lick (Magic Stick Pt 2)
This is rumored to be the 1st single off the new G-Unit album out this winter...so corny but I wont front its not a bad party jam. Big Ups to Greg for lookin out on this
#4 Fat Joe Feat Lil Wayne-Crackhouse
The drums are bangin Lil Wayne...Make It Rain ummm Pacman Jones Part 2
#3 Cassidy Feat Kanye West, Ne-yo, & Swizz Beats-Drink & My 2 Step Remix
Reeemix...Swizz killed the beat and the hook kills, grab your patron some chicas and its over
#2 Ryan Leslie-Diamond Girl
R Les...next selection. This the guy behind all of Cassie's beats and lyrics...dude is a genius. This is a mad 80's beat and although I think he's kind of weak artist himself this joint is def on point
#1 Jay-Z-Roc Boys (Kanye on the adlib) & Success Feat Nas
I have never done 2 jams at #1 but these 2 joints are so fawwwkin raw. 1st Roc Boys i have been jamming non stop for the last 3 weeks. The Hitmen on the beat (Puffy's production team) who have been MIA for a couple years now came hard with this 70's sounding joint with the crazy horns. Yeezy can I get an ad-lip...we in da how how how just tops it off.
Joint #2 is Success featuring Nas. But Jay & Nas are early on this one, listen close. NO ID on the beat who is Kanye's mentor straight from the Chi. Def has a PSA kinda feel to it, would thought Just originally did it. American Gangster start to finish is nice but still not Jay's best work, like where he takes it with this one, Im not mad at it but its not eghck!

On My New Ish
Chester French...these guys are nuts. Not a real video obviously and the only one I could find on youtube, kinda weak whoever put that together, but the songs dope none the less
I Love This Game
The Nuggets with the big win over the Sonics...AI dropped 25 had 14 assists and 7 steals and Melo scored 32 as well. If Kenyon Martin & Marcus Camby can stay healthy as well as AI & Melo obviously, this team could easily win 55 games and have a legitamte shot of coming out of the West. I am glad we got basketball back...I'll have my Colts vs Pats preview on Saturday
