EMINEM: VIBE NAMED BEST RAPPER ALIVE


Well....to some this may be a surprise, an upset, or maybe the God awful truth.




I am a big Eminem fan. I’ve been a fan since I first witness the brand new premier of his first video "My Name Is" on Mtv. I was an instant fan. I think the thing that sets Eminem apart of all the other rappers and lyricist is the fact that he is so versatile in his rapping and his multi-rhyming skills...He is a genius when it comes to lyrics! Anyone who can freestyle and use: rocafella, mozzarella and helicopter propeller in a sentence is just incredible.

He doesn’t confine himself to the whole money, women, cars, drugs, guns category either. I feel like Eminem has been in a league of his own. Vibe did a great job telling the truth.

HERE ARE MY EM FAVORITES BY SLIM SHADY HIMSELF!



Financial Aid = Stress

Is it just me and the schools that I go to...or is the financial aid process in general? All I have to say is...SCHOOL SUCKS GIRAFFE BALLS!!

Every time I go to the financial Aid office to check the status of my aid, I always get the run around. "you need to turn in this", " have your parents sign this", "you didn't do this correctly"...It get's so overwhelming and stressful to say the least. I guess that's one of the million reasons why I hate school. The process, just to get in, is like trying to join some secret society....school sucks!

KODAK Pocket HD Video Camera

KODAK Zi6 Pocket HD Video Camera




I bought this camera about a month ago and I'm still in love with it, so I decided to post it. I got it on sale at Bestbuy for $139.99. I believe the original price is $159.95. It's great for someone who likes to film or take photos. the quality is in High Def...yes...HD Quality. I highly recommend. It's abut the size of a Blackberry, it's light and it's one of the best mini cams out!


Rechargeable batteries and charger included!!!!!

Get one today...tell them that Mack sent you!!!!

Check the review below

Insufficient Funds

I'm broke as hell!!! This keeps happening to me...Example - I check my chase debit account online and it would say something like I have $30...then I spend $20...I check back a day or two later, it says some b.s. like -$11.00!!! WTF!! So I go back online to check, just to find out I was charged for a magazine subscription that I have no clue how it got there. Then I find out that was a scam with this purchase I made at Bestbuy. All in All I now hate Bestbuy and Chase.

I tried calling the magazine company and they said I should be recieving a call within 5-10 business days.....DUMBASS!!!, 5-10 business days isn't going to solve my account being in the negatives!!

Sometimes I think I'll be better off without a debit card. It's crap like this that makes people go nuts and straight bizzare.....my job is just paying my bills...UM, VACATION???

Barber Fright

My barber has been cutting my hair wrong for two weeks now....two weeks! It's hard to let him know like....I don't know what to say or how to say it, but he keeps pushing my lining back which makes my forehead wider..which makes me look weird... I don't know, guess it's gonna take me a while to get over this symptom of barber fright.

I guess the messed up part is that we have good conversation. This guy knows my whole life and everything I deal with. I see him more like my psychiatrist and my doctor who just so happens to know how to cut hair for $15.

I guess we'll see what happens on Friday...

Greeks-Frats/Soro USEFUL or USELESS??



Greeks-Frats/Soro USEFUL or USELESS??

So...The other day i was having this very interesting conversation with a friend of mine about frats and sororities. It was some good dialogue so I thought I would share my feelings on this...controversial topic.

At the outset, let me start by saying I have a lot of friends who are in fraternities and sororities...a lot. I also have family who are members of frats and sororities.

I believe they are a great networking tool that you could utilize in life and that you could benefit from long term. However, when I look at the overall picture of these organizations I feel that most of them have lost track of their primary mission. Most...if not all of the Greek organizations of today has lost hindsight of the mission to advance the African American community, elevate the African American people and stay dedicated to community service, brotherhood, sisterhood and social justice.

Now, I have never been on campus at a University nor have I ever been apart of a frat, but from information gathered through my own research and from hearing personal testimony's, I believe it's fair to say that most of these frats and sororities on campuses around this Country party, party, party....I love to party, but as a social organizations with such rich history, well respected members of the past, and with all the issues happening in our communities...WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO ALWAYS SKIP AROUND IN CIRCLES AND PARTY!

If you are thinking about joining one of these clubs...and if you've ignored everything I said up until now...remember this...

DO NOT LET ANYONE DEHUMANIZE YOU OR DEMEAN YOU JUST SO YOU CAN BE WELL-LIKED OR ACCEPTED BY AN ORGANIZATION.

iNsidE the LOop


Big up's to the frats and sororities that bring issues to awareness and that are involved in the community.

Cassie's hair

Alright....Initially I thought Cassie was extremely crazy and out of her mind for having such a crazy hair cut...BUT it has really grew on me....I Think it's hot actually.

MJ Memorial

4th of July



If you know me...you already know how I truly feel about the 4th of July, but I'm not going to get into that because we all already know.

I must say...I am sick of the 4th!!! Don't get me wrong, the beautiful showcase of professional fireworks are great to sit back and watch!, but when you live in the hood and you can't open your windows because the air is smoked out and all you hear is a mixture of m80's, people yelling, and possible gun shots deep into the midnight...the 4th isn't on your top list of favorite holidays. Not to mention the next morning. I'm talking about the moment you walk outside and there are fire cracker wrappers eeeeeeverywhere...Come on people. The least you can do is pick up or sweep up all your shit when you get finished!

This year was the first 4th of July i can every remember not spending it in a backyard eating BBQ with family and having Al green or BB King playing in the background.

I spent my 4th bowling then I went to Hooters with some friends. How was yours?

Lupe Fiasco - L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto

I'm so waiting for his f'n album to drop!

Taste of Chicago Review


Don't get me wrong...I love to go to the taste. I love to see the people and I love to be around positive energy....HOWEVER...The Taste is so overrated. I mean, the food is alright but it's nothing special. This year I didn't go on the night the fireworks were displayed because I know it's another breed of people who like to go and make their presence known lol, but I did go the early afternoon of the 4th and it was o.k. Chicago weather sucks because it rain a little bit.

I feel like the Taste is more for out of towners and tourist than it is for actual Chicagoans. I don't know..maybe it's just me.

Those pot stickers were the ish though!

Eminem - "Beautiful"

EMINEM

Although I'm a big fan of Em...I have to say his Relapse Album was not as good as I thought it was gonna be. My favorite track is "Beautiful"...here is the video...it's HOT!!!!

Drake...Best Ive Ever Had Video...LET DOWN!

DRAKE'S "BEST IVE EVER HAD"

Drake's first official video..."Best I've Ever Had" ...was hot garbage! not just garbage but hot, stinky garbage! I don't know what's more of a let down...the fact that Kanye produced it or the fact that Drake must have liked what was being produced.. I did not enjoy it because I was anticipating something more..maybe with a love interest or something. Don't get me wrong..the women in the video are nice, but the video was a little tasteless. Check it out ....
