Jay-Z hiding behind Beyonce’s Skirt??

….apparently so, and from what I can see, there is plenty of room to hide.

I used to be a bigger fan of Jay-Z a couple of years back, but lately he’s been coming across phony.  I mean he’s part of the drama club (pretending to rap good), part of the home economics club (sewing and fashion), and part of the “has been” club, since all of the rhymes in his newer songs have just been too contrived.  He’s not hip-hop, he’s entertainment.   That’s fine, but don’t call yourself a rapper, when you are sanitized commercial.  And certainly don’t call out legends of the game, when you are just a paper tiger.

Maybe I am late to the game in realizing this.  It wasn’t too long ago that he dissed Nas, and Nas destroyed him on “Ether” (see below).  It was one of the best comeback raps of all time.  Like a master punishing his pupil Nas dismantled him, and Jay-Z had no choice but to go into retirement.  Jay-Z shouldn’t start shit by talking trash.  Talking trash doesn’t mean anything, especially if you can’t back it up.

Now he has a beef with Oakland’s own “MC Hammer”.  Well Jay-Z needs to “ring the bell, because school’s back in”.  MC Hammer has come out with a response called “Better Run Run” (see below).

So several years ago Nas said Jay-Z traded his soul for riches in “Ether”, and today Mc Hammer says the same thing.  Is it a case of where there is smoke there is fire?  Did I fail to mention that one of my favorites, LL Cool J, also had beef with Jay-Z a couple of years, because Jay-Z dissed LL Cool J in one of his songs.  LL Cool J handled it smoothly, as one would expect, but now in 2010 Jay-Z takes another shot at Uncle L, in a Rolling Stone interview.  Jay-Z should mine his own, get to the gym, and keep his mouth shut.

Speaking of McNuggets – They are made of pink goo…

I will never eat another McNugget…not after learning they are made from pink goo…

This is mechanically separated chicken. Chickens are turned into this goop so we can create delicious chicken nuggets and juicy chicken patties.  Apparently there’s more…”because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.”

Here is the link to the article which explains more – Article

Imagine how the other fast food stuff is made!! Sorry Ronald, but you have to do better….

What people will do for a McNugget and a monopoly piece…

Question: What do you get when you mix (1) Chicken McNuggets, (2) Small Fry’s, (3) Monopoly Game Pieces, and (4) Drunk People?

Answer: YouTube Preview Image

The disturbing part is that this is my McDonalds – three blocks away from my place.  I’ve been there a bunch of times, but I guess people know to slow their roll around me, so I’ve never seen trouble.

According to the person who took the video – here is what happened:

This was taken at the McDonald’s right next to AT&T park. Some chick was arguing about their order, the chick with the yellow thong tells her, she shouldn’t talk like that in front of her daughter. Chick says she’s not my daughter and throws soda at the yellow thong chick. then all hell breaks loose.

Here is the article with write up and description in the newspaper:  Article

How Do You Lean – Like a Cholo or Like a Chola?

Look around, you all have seen a cholo or chola.  Don’t know what a cholo/chola is…look at the videos below.

If you are a cholo/chola – be proud.  If you aren’t – don’t hate cuz you ain’t.

Gulf Oil Spill - Blundered by Government

As many of you know, I am big into nature, the environment, etc.  The Gulf Oil Spill has been one of the worst environmental disasters – IN HISTORY.  Its huge – many, many, multiple times larger than the Exxon Valdez in Alaska.  Yet the government, along with BP, have done nothing but blunder efforts to clean-up and contain the spill.  They have little idea of what they are doing, the president is playing golf, BP is not moving fast enough, etc.  A complete disaster!!

Here is what was officially said by the White House and Obama team on June 15th:

<<The Obama administration’s plan to contain oil leaking from a deepwater pipeline could be sucking up as much as 90 percent of the spewing oil by the end of June.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that the strategy BP is pursuing — at the behest of the federal government — will have a high efficiency rate in containing the oil spill by the time the end of this month [June] rolls around.

“I think the containment strategy that the Coast Guard and the federal government pushed BP to accelerate will capture most of the oil that is leaking from the Gulf right now,” Gibbs said during an appearance on “Good Morning America” on ABC this morning. 

Gibbs said he “absolutely” agreed with reported assessments that the strategy could mean an effective containment rate of 90 percent of the leaking oil [by end of June].>>

As of today, the oil is spilling at the same rate that it did over two months ago.

Anyway, here is a funny parody of what’s happening…
