NFL Draft = The Last Legal Slave trade
The NFL draft was last weekend so i feel like i should address it as i return to the whole Blogging world. Its kind of funny when you think about it, but really, other than the fact that they are going to end up getting PAAAAAAAAAAAID, the whole Draft process is like the slave trade. "How high can you jump? How fast can you run? How much can you lift?...........Nigger" lol those are all legit questions addressed in the Combine and private workout parts of the process minus the "Nigger", but if that was added there'd be like no difference. These old rich predominantly white men pick and choose from their litter of mostly poor black men of ridiculous ability lol. I mean i say that all in fun, but to be honest its really hilarious when you think about it logically. We've been trained to be the best NFL and NBA players, FUCK REPARATIONS.
In terms of the picks and sports wise, as a Redskins fan I'm happy with the pick of Trent Williams with the 4th pick though a lot of people consider Okung to be better, Williams has more upside and fits in our system better. I will forever be irate over the fact that the Cowgirls and Tony Homo, i mean Cowboys and Tony Romo, got Dez Bryant with the 24th pick. Dex Bryant is legitimately a top 5 talent and the best receiver in the draft by far to me and the Cowboys who already have 2 receivers get him that late in the 1st round, BULL SHIT. Not to mention that idiot GM from the dolphins asked him if his mom was a prostitute, WHICH IS RIDICULOUSLY WRONG. Hes gonna be a beast in the league and will probably torch my skins for years to come. We also need a big receiver like him badder than probably anything else after getting trent williams, i was somehow hoping we'd trade haynesworth or campbell and get him but i knew it wouldn't happen. And then there's Tim Tebow, i think its kinda weird that all these people who were hating on him in college when he was dominant are rooting for him now and want him/believe he will do well in the NFL. Personally i was never really a big fan in college, i admit i'm kinda rooting for him to do well in the NFL, but honestly, i just don't think he has what it takes to be a successful NFL quarterback. His new throwing motion doesn't really blow me away because i feel like he'll revert to the one hes done his entire career when there's pressure, and THERE WILL BE PRESSURE. He will also not be able to run nearly as much because guys in the NFL are a lot faster and will not have the fans or surroundings he had at Florida. The Broncos trading up in the 1st round to draft him ahead of Clausen baffled me, i know the guy has incredible work ethic and is a high character guy, but you gotta have it on the field when it comes to the NFL. I also want to note that no quarterback really blew me away this draft, Jimmy Clausen looks like a 12 year old and doesn't seem to command anything, Bradford impressed me the most but can't seem to be able to take a hit (did you see those vids of him getting injured, those hits were not hard AT ALL), and Tebow is an H-back to me. I feel like the seahawks made major upgrades with Okung and Earl Thomas and got some good trades for Leon Washington and Lendel who could be a nice 1-2 punch. The 49ers solidified their O line which was BIG and got the safety Taylor mays in the 2nd round which was really good for the value. Jimmy Clausen also got really lucky he ended up in Carolina, they have a run game, they have a big time receiver, they have an ok O line, and their current Qb isn't that good. Thats about it for now, i'll get into the NBA playoffs later (NEED MY MAVS TO WIN TONIGHT!!!!!!!)
Drake and Eminem dropped singles today, both are good
Eminem dropped his new single "Not Afraid" from his new CD "Recovery" and Drizzy Drake dropped "Find your love" produced by Kanye West. First and foremost, I'm gonna speak on Drake because his CD is probably gonna come out before Eminem's and this is his second single after "Over". I first became a Drake fan after listening to "A night off" ft Lloyd and I really vibed out to his singing on "So far gone" before i got into his rapping to be honest. This song is all singing, so i'm thinking its gonna do well with the female demographic and have them salivating for this degrassi kid for a little bit. It definitely has an 808s and heartbreak style beat which makes sense because Kanye produced it, but it is definitely a lot more upbeat/happy and doesn't have the T-Pain esque autotune that everybody seems to hate. I like it, i think i'll give it a few more listens before i say i love it, but its a solid song and i think it'll do pretty good on radio. Honestly, i'm expecting his CD "Thank me Later" to be a classic piece of work, he has everything in place for it to be a smash, big name features, solid producers, a team to keep it all flowing together well, and the talent. Now Eminem, my feelings about him have been weird as of late, i admit that back in the day he was an ANIMAL lyrically, he murdered Jay-z on his own song, "Lose yourself" won an oscar, the kid was unbelievable. Later in his career though i always felt he went too easily to the stupid raps where he sounded like an idiot and played around too much, i mean i can appreciate that in spurts, but i expect him to come with the real shit too. To me, the relapse was a failure, other than "Beautiful" i thought it was like ALL dumb/stupid rap and i really was disappointed with the come back. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT then he came with the "forever" verse and started dropping hard freestyles and stuff, and now comes out with the "Not Afraid" record, where he definitely is going hard. I like it, i'm so happy hes coming with stuff like this with the new Cd. He even mentions that "Relapse"was wack and says he'll never go back to that, which i'm ECSTATIC about. I really like the song, i'm expecting heat to come from this album. This is gonna be a good year for hip hop, theres Drake, Eminem, B.o.B., J.Cole, and probably some others, potentially Kanye and Dr. Dre (the Detox isn't gonna come out till 2029).

He's like a white, Canadian version of Sammie
Ah Justin Bieber, his name is almost too easy to make fun of but at the same time you don't want to because hes just so darn tween dreamy *eyes twinkle* (i think his fans should be called Bieber Babies or something like that, i just think it fits too well not to be used) But this Bieber kid, I decided to give my take on arguably the biggest thing to hit pop/R&B music in recent memory excluding people that rhyme with shmady caca (its lady gaga, did you get it? i knew you would). The hoopla about this guy is crazy, though it has died down a little recently because "Baby" has been out for a while, hes supposedly on tour or something, and his next single "Eenie Meanie" ft Sean Kingston is just starting to pick up more steam. Before i get into the bulk of it, i would like to add that the Eenie meanie track is FIYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA, i'll be honest and say it has an incredibly stupid chorus and its pretty generic, but its catchy as all hell and its one of those songs that blends both artists styles well, you'll probably have to listen to it a couple times before you get to that point but i'm calling it now that it has a good shot at going #1. BUT BACK TO BIEBER MANIA!!! After a ton of research and studying, i believe the hype about this 16 year old kid is.......drum roll please............DESERVED. Yep, I said it, I think its deserved. This kid is actually talented, I mean he can actually sing, not sure about the dancing thing, but he can work on that, just look at Justin Timberlake, he went from boy band dancing to almost Usher in like a year. And another thing to note about his last CD, he actually had writing credits on every song, including one song where he wrote the entire thing (wikipedia it) At first i was like pretty much everybody that wasn't a 13 year old girl, and was skeptic and didn't take the time to listen to his music or study up on him, I mean i heard "One time" and got a glimpse of "baby" but i never really thought much of him, that was until i saw THIS on funny or die, he said BITCH, LMAO, this kid is 16 and is a tween sensation and said bitch in a video that would be seen by millions, how can you not give him some love for that?? To be honest though, I really look at Bieber to be somebody to bring back R&B because it has definitely been falling, props to Trey Songz for keeping it alive these past couple months, but Ushers new stuff hasn't blown me away despite little freak being a solid collabo. The kid has chops and its undeniable once you listen to more of his stuff, i don't even have his cd but i can see it. Aside from that though, I mean if you didn't know there was a bidding war to get him between Usher and Justin Timberlake that Usher won, and DRAKE!!!!! actually showed up to his Baby video shoot to show love when i'm sure he had a bazillion things he could have done instead and only got like 5 secs of camera time. Bieber also got to open the new "We are the World" 25 song, which is major shine considering others on the song. I really hope he doesn't fade away like a lot of these young R&B stars though, him being white (no racist) will definitely help a little but isn't full proof, and he has to really grow with his music as he gets older and has a new voice for him to be successful. All in all though, what can you say, in the words of a good friend of mine, "Haters gonna hate" so when it comes to this kid, people are going to hate, but I won't be one of them. And no I'm not gay for listening to R&B/Pop, I'm gay for Justin Bieber *gay sigh*
NO HOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
