REFLECTION ETERNAL

Scratch magazine's November issue seems promising.[Hi-Tek....please don't abandon Kweli...he needs you....desperately.]

Maybe Lupe Fiasco is an Islamic terrorist + he thinks Hov isn't in the game for the "love" of it.

Polls show the Democrats aren't that far from recapturing the Senate. [ do I hear impeachment?]

The Game is bipolar....not only does he backpedal and take shots at 50, but he goes after Pharrell too? ["Bathing Ape shoe niggaz/ I'm talking to you niggaz"]

In addition to being bipolar, The Game is also suicidal, or it's just pre-release album hype.

As sales continue to flourish for Bob Woodward's [scathing indictment of the Bush Administration], State of Denial...maybe Woodward should see if he's in denial as well.

THE SHIT'S DISGUSTING

Rep. Mark Foley is one sickdude......goddamn Republicans.....

People have always called the G.O.P racists....murderers....but internet pedophiles?....WTF! [might be time for some new leadership..lol]

Nas' eight minute track with The Game to debut + One Blood remix w/ Lil' Wayne, Fat Joe, and Nas in the works.

Colin Powell was indeed FIRED by the Bush Administration.....

The first African American leader that I've ever seen endorse gay rights + MLK would favor said rights as well.

SpineMagazine's review straight up shitted all over Food & Liquor.

The Supreme Court rides for Tupac.

Nas abroad in the U.K commenting on the upcoming Nas + Jay-Z collaboration...

IT'S NOT FOXXY

Freddie Foxx's new dis track aimed at Rakim[ in my opinion, it's pretty whack & 18 years too late...anticipating "The God's" reply....]

NO MORE DRAMA

After reading the newest issue of XXL, I learned that The Game ended his beef with Murder Inc...

Plus, we know DMX ended his "beef" with Ja Rule, but 50 ending beef with The Source?

New 9th Wonder joint featuring Mighty Mos, Premier, et al.

I wonder what Lupe's real SoundScan numbers are.....

The more and more I work in the school system, in addition to watching The Wire last week, I'm learning to you have to watch your back.

THE WORLD IS 10% REALITY, 90% HYPE

Poppa Paul Wall still makes gangsta grills.

DMX and Jah Rule sqaush BEEF. [I bet Jah wishes 50 would squash theirs as well.....]

Has Byron Crawford been vindicated after Lupe[supposely] falls [very] short.

However, Lupe and Atlantic dispute the 58,000 album sales figure. [Looks like they forgot to add Best Buy numbers?]

Apparently ''the good Doctor" won't be on The Doctor's Advocate....The Game said it himself...

IT'S AFTERMATH YOU BASTARDS

Joell Ortiz definitely raised the bar with this joint, but[to me] he still sounds a bit like this guy....

580,000...no....58,000 in one week? Hip-Hop shitt*d on 'hip-hop's savior'...damn Lupe...Atlantic sucks....FNF Up?

Speaking of FNF...check out a new track byFNF affiliate Gemini...maybe he pick up where Lupe left off...

It's really sucked to be Royce 5'9 since about 2000, but now it really sucks to be Royce.

Freddie Foxx is REALLY bringing beef to "THE GOD''....that's some sh*t....

Hi-Tek ft. Talib Kweli and Ayak - Can We Go Back

Apologies for the lack of politics.......the juxtaposition of ignorance, redundancy, and depression has caused me to stray away for the day....

CONTROVERSY SELLS

Another shitty post.......yeah I know, but I can't "work from home" like most "bloggers"...

Lupe the gangsta?

Then again some believe Food and Liquor is a album, controversy does sell.

More updates later......

PAUSE NO HOMO

Strange past couple of days....I may have some surprises in the works....

Revamped Startrak site? [These dudes really are from the future..]

Chavez calls Bush "the Devil while developing better social programs within the United States....

Some call me a LUPE FIASCO enthusiast, but damn, this guy likes him a little bit too much....

BOOGIE MAN STRIKES BACK

Mos Def is one of my most favorite artists of all time. As a matter of fact, I can be classified as the polar opposite of a Mos Def Hater. Nevertheless, I [think I] know what people want to hear. In an earlier post, I discussed the likelihood that Mos' new album, True Magic, would be another newfound Jack Johnson/Boogie Man production. However, it looks as if more proof has been unearthed to support this claim. With that said, preview these tracks from the upcoming LP, True Magic......you be the judge.

Undeniable

Sun, Moon, Stars

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

The Chronic 3000......Something to hold you over until Kingdom Come....and I guess Detox...

Apologies for the shaky posts lately.....teaching the youth and being a blog/hip-hop aficionado can be quite taxing....

The Game proves that he's the John Kerry of rap in this interview...but, here we have a little more straight talk.

Hugo Chavez = Gangsta[ not often world leaders travel to the U.S to call Mr. Bush the DEVIL...]

Then again, if you bite a PANDA....that's pretty gangsta as well...

Listening to Lupe's Food and Liquor and so far I'm not disappointed....

The Lessons of Stringer Bell.

Green Lantern gives the rundown of Hov's world tour.....

The "Real Deal" about poor high school youth enlisting in the U.S military....

SMARTEN UP NAS

As Nas' album gets pushed back.....Hov shoots a new video one week out of retirement?

WE FLY HIGH

Why this is the new NY anthem? I don't know, but...um.....BALLINN!

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad + Hugo Chavez = are perceived to be a deadly combination for the U.S.....

Lupe's Food + Liquor in stores today....very curious to see it's numbers.....

Youtube.....best to watch out....it might be a rap

When the Pussycat Dolls are hollering at you, I guess it's good to be 50 Cent....

Is it good to be Chili's [from TLC] son, I don't think so......

WESTSIDE STORY

Ras Kass exemplifies the concept of Internet Thuggin'

Ras Kass -Hush Little Baby[Game diss] Not that impressive Ras....anticipating The Game's diss.

"Talib Kweli and 50 Cent are the same artists"....if you say so Kweli....

In this day and age, Christian leaders[i.e. Pope] indirectly talking sh*t about Muslims will lead to the 2006 CRUSADES.

NATURE OF THE THREAT

The Game .vs. Ras Kass?

Apparently, The Game sucker punched Ras Kass in Los Angeles last night.

"Ras Kass' career is over, Game said. " I ended it last night with one punch." [now...that's gangsta]

Jadakiss + Papoose + Talib + Raekwon + Hi-Tek = Fire! [Jada burned all of them....wow]

Damn, when secret Pentagon documents state we're losing the Iraq War....that means we are really in trouble......

In 1095 A.D, this Pope began the Crusades[holy war], now in 2006 this Pope may initiate a new one......

Tupac roundtable with Cormega, Chino XL, et al.

Ethnic conflict + 200,000 Sudanese deaths in Darfur = Genocide

Everyone loves Tupac, but if you really do....find his killer.


[Disclaimer: The above video contains some of the most ignorant sh*t you will ever see in your life. Brace yourself.]

UNTIL KINGDOM COME

Excuse me......it's no longer a Presidential Gala...

I guess the self proclaimed "Rap God'' is really coming back.[as if Jay-Z ever really left the rap game...]

It just might be a wrap for Al Franken and Air America....they need to borrow some dollars too.

Recently, NonFictional Fantasies got some recognition over this post, [but the way Lupe's been talking]maybe I should watch my back....

It's sad to see this broken State Senator plead for his son's life, but that's Philly.....

The infamous crackhead couple's relationship is no more.

Maureen Dowd believes DICK Cheney should pull out his Wet Wipes.

Snoop explains his close relationship with Tupac.

In closing, another wonderful, yet depressing, Tupac video tribute.....

HOW LONG TIL WE MOURN YOU

R.I.P Tupac Amuru Shakur [9/13/96 - 9/13/06]

Thug Immortal....many believe Tupac is still with us...look at these conspiracy theories....

Then again, those theories make you wonder......Tupac's LOST interview revealed.

The U.S is thanking Syria? I thought that Syria was part of the 'Axis of Evil'.......

Bobby Brown > Christina Aguilera

Lupe Fiasco - The Cool, Real, Pressure ft. Jay-Z [Food and Liquor is leaking AGAIN....9/19/06 better come soon......]

After countless viewings of Tupac Resurrection, listening to myriad Pac joints, and reading accounts from various family members it's still very hard to fathom the fact that Pac is no longer here with us. At the moment, no other MC has made such an astounding impact on hip-hop culture and the world at large. Though it has been ten years since his sudden, yet mysterious death, we our still infatuated Tupac and have ensured that his legacy will resonate in the minds of many for years to come. Pour out a little liquor.......R.I.P PAC

CAN I BORROW A DOLLAR

Common's 'Pops' needs to borrow a dollar BADLY...

Informative and historical article depicting Common as a cheap asshole and 'Pops' as an impoverished crackhead[damn, didn't know it was THAT serious.]

"Niggaz don't set trends...they ride dicks....that's why everybody's Bloods and Crips " - 50 Cent [internet thuggin' is getting out of hand]

"Puerto Ricans are fiesty because of their mixed Black & Latino blood.." - Governor Arnold SchwarzeNazi

Oh, now I understand why the NYPD scared the sh*t out of us and made commuters run frantically like a bomb was about to go off on 9/11/06.....WTF? [sh*t was like a movie......NYC is running scared...]

After getting arrested in the Enzo last week, 50 Cent is forced to beat the sh*t out of an annoying fan.
Fu*k Colombia......Kenya got that coke!

Winky Wright vs. Jermaine Talyor part 2?

Yeah, Jay-Z is dropping another LP, Presidential Gala, in November....he's not retired...I've seen him perform 4 times in less than 2 years...blah...blah....

More and more proof that Dave Chapelle won't be coming back anytime soon...

THINGS DONE CHANGED

Five years have passed....what have we learned from 9/11?

R.I.P to all victims of the WTC attacks, Afghanistan + Iraq wars......

This ex-DEA agent scared the crap out of NYC on Hot 97's Street Soldiers radio program about 9/11...he knows way too much.

Considering the Senate acknowledges there never was an Iraq/911 link....we should understand how many Iraqi civilians have died as well...

How in the fu*k did I meet this guy on the streets of NYC last Thursday?

Puffy = Diddy....just not while he's in the U.K.......

In contrast to 50 Cent and Nas' recent claim, Jin reminds us that Hip Hop is not dead.......


Just in case you missed 50 Cent's infamous Manhattan arrest[brilliant publicity stunt] this weekend...

HELL HATH NO FURY

Is the G-Unit general getting soft?

50 squashes beef with Puffy? [just when sh*t was getting interesting...then again The Game vs. 50 beef was "squashed" as well....]

Speaking of THE GAME....he really is the Dr's Advocate [i.e. Dre will be on his sophomore LP]

Maybe 50 should quit rap beef and stick to selling and promoting books....

R. Kelly child porn + piss on minor trial will commence ASAP....

NotaNigga.com....niggaz....

Method Man + Immortal Technique + Saigon = something you should go to in NYC this November.....

Bill Clinton chinchecks ABC network to prevent the 'Path to 9/11' swiftboating of 'Slick Willy'....

Then again, ABC = Fox News....it looks as though they are just making things up about Clinton....

IS IT BILLY OR FAME?

If you really read between the lines of 'Illseed's AHH Rumor section, it looks like M.O.P won't drop an LP because one of them is strung out on DRUGS. Guess you can't blame 50?

Damn M.O.P, what ever happened to this?

I wonder what was going through the cops' mind when they arrested this guy.

1st. Afghanistan 2nd. Iraq 3rd....looks like Iran [considering French and American citizens are in favor of a U.S vs. Iran war]

To those of you that cop those fake Nikes....the feds have just dismantled the "fake Nike gang".

Guess I talk to much smack about U.S athletes because apparently Marion Jones wasn't lying......



Fall back....or Suge might have to choke a bitch.......

THE GAME NEEDS JAMES STUPID

You've been wondering about the man, J.A.M.E.S, who is coined the "Future of Hip Hop" on NonFictional Fantasies. I've always been on the cutting edge, but it's about time y'all begin to take notice. He's coming.......Peep this feature article from the kid J.A.M.E.S on BallerStatus.net....

*Plus* Shameless Promotion tracks that you should be up on by now....

Dream On

Stop the presses! NonFictional Fantasies is still up and running! Unfortunately, 48 to 72 hours without updates equates to months in "blog time". Apologies for the extended Labor Day weekend/vacation......

It's official...even MTV is reporting on 50 Cent going at Puffy.

Fu*k HBO....watch Spike Lee's When The Levees Collapsed here...

Unfortunately for CBS, more sponsors are pulling out of their nouveaux Survivor series.

Things change after you win an MTV VMA......major broadcast networks[ABC] issue you public apologies.

Are Black Democrats "liberal" enough for the left?

Not only will we be able to watch the Crocodile Hunter's death on video...watch Mos Def get locked up at the VMAs..

French World Cup legend head-butted the sh*t out of that Italian jerk...but exactly what was it that set him off?

G-UNIT KILLER

Young Buck stabbed a man with a fork....collapsed his lung.....beat the attempted murder rap....pretty gangsta...yeah he can rock that shirt.[O.J should cop one too.]

MOS DEFINITELY ARRESTED

And they say conscious rappers don't go to jail....

Apologies for the previous shoddy posting.... My man saw Mos Def on the street last night in NYC....guess he was coming from the precinct.

Say what you want about Utah, but the Salt Lake City Mayor is going hard[pause] at Mr. Bush.

You want more proof of Hov's inevitable return....ask Hype Williams.

Djing at this rapper's VMA party was phenomenal.

Another shitty post....sue me......it's either blog or get fired....Happy Labor Day Bitches!

QUICK POST

50 Cent + 'Bigger Than Hip-Hop' beat = new Puffy diss!

Immortal Technique never made a video for 'Bin Laden'....so someone else did it for him.

In related news....a movie was produced. A U.S president was assasinated. Can you guess which one it was?

Have to run.........

PISS DADDY

We won't stop pissing because we can't stop pissing.

Last week, we watched Puffy drunk and in drag, now we get to watch him urinate. Yes, the man that cultivated Biggie's career has so much class...

Kidnap a politician's son for ransom. Shoot his wife and daughter. Next episode of The Wire? No, but that's Philly for you.....

Dave Chappelle has no regrets for leaving Comedy Central.

FOX News ratings are slipping severely....it really takes us Americans a long time to weed through the bullsh*it.

It's official....the world is coming to an end + Peedi Peedi IS joining The Roots.

CNN Cafferty shows us that Katrina may've been the 'defining moment of the Bush presidency.

50 Cent was wrong. Fat Joe wasn't forced to move to the artists' graveyard(Koch) he went to Virgin.

In celebration of The Roots' Game Theory release...listen to J.Period's, Best of The Roots.

DEAF, DUMB, & BLIND

Foxy Brown looks really good[but,still sounds deaf] and even makes a remarkable move and sqaushes BEEF...but she still has to make ammends with a multitude of her most recent adversaries....

Foxy Brown pulls a John Kerry-like flip-flop by pleading guilty in court....then subsequently pleading NOT GUILTY?

Fall back...or 50 Cent might have to smack a bitch! [literally]

Damn….they ACTUALLY made a video for the Chicken Noodle song. WHY!

New info concerning Talib’s new LP, Eardrum.

Forget about mourning at funerals…..bring out the strippers bitches!

One year later....the real state of affairs in post-Katrina New Orleans.

Whack ass Miss Jones of Hot 97 fame FINALLY get's suspended for something[ fuc*ing with Beyonce.]

New joint, Man Up, from the self-proclaimed Wally Champ......sounding good Ghost.

Unfortunately, name-dropping Bill O'Reilly won't get you out of a speeding ticket.....

PEEDI PEEDI?

Peedi Crack to join THE ROOTS? If this happens... this world is definitely coming to an end. Case Closed.

POINT OF NO RETURN

Where in the fu*k is the Middle Passage?

More proof that Foxy Brown is a straight up asshole.

FINALLY...new heat from Immortal Technique[the game has been waiting for the Middle Passage..]

Step your sneaker game up.

Did anyone even know Cormega had a video for this? And I know Mega is "real hip-hop", but this is VERY low budget...damn.

WANTED: OSAMA BIN LADEN...but not for 9/11 Terror Attacks? WTF?

As we anticipate Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor....listen to excerpts of FNF radio!

New footage of the Reasonable Doubt concert.[IMHO it's not the same if you weren't there fuc*ers.]

2006? Nope it's 1956, now get to the back of the bus darkie!

Since nobody was willing to pay[j/k]......Talib Kweli will be performing for free in NYC.

Proof that you people reading this at "work"....really don't do ANY work at all.[lol]

G-Unit's MOP, Mase, Olivia, et al. will never see the light of day.....it's all about Hot Rod?

A Utah GOP State Senator believes Brown v. Board decision was "wrong to begin with".

8.25.06 - 8.25.81 = 25....damn...maybe I'm getting too old for this sh*t........

STOP SNITCHIN'

Stop Snitching Bitches!

NY Times columnist, Bob Herbert, rips into the hood philosophy of Stop Snitching.....

Jay-Z .vs. Beanie Siegal is starting to become more and more credible.....TakeOver Pt. 2?

Who needs condoms when you have this for sale? [what has the world come to....lol]

Fu*k rap beef....we know Macho Man dissed Hulk Hogan on wax...but the Ugandan giant Kamala got tracks! WTF?

Al Sharpton + Bill Cosby = Fu*k Hip Hop.....well sort of...

As the one year anniversary of 'Katrina' is upon us....we remember what really happened.

Though to some, the "Stop Snitchin" campaign is old news, Bob Herbert's editorial concerning the controversial philosophy illustrates how this mentality has garnered nationwide attention. Nonwithstanding the Busta Rhymes shooting incident, escalating murder rates in innner cities coupled with lambasting from political figures, one is left to wonder who is to blame for this mentality? Is it ignorance, the prevalance of gangsta rap, crooked cops, or a combination of all said factors? As Bill Cosby and other more conservative members of the Black community continue to address problems within "Black America" and the hip-hop community, is there a way to defend this mentality that has pervaded ''Ghetto America?'' Some believe we should "Start Snitching."In a recent XXL issue, myriad rappers attempted to explain the importance of not snitching, but in my opinion many have confused snitching with justice. If you incriminate an associate to receive a lighter sentence or mitigated punishment that is SNITCHING. However, assisting authorities in convicting a guilty individual that harms innocent people is administering JUSTICE. As the Stop Snitching campaign continues to be glorified, one is left to wonder if this state of mind will ever cease or whether this is truly the spawning of a new movement. Whatever the case may be, one way or another, it seems as if countless crimes[i.e the murder of Israel Ramirez, Tupac, Biggie, JMJ, et al.] will continue to be unsolved in the inner cities across America.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

Damn Russell....say it ain't so......

In an earlier post, I said that U.S terror strikes equals an election year[ wasn't meant literally] but, maybe I was right.....

Skateboard P explains the dichotomy of being a backpacker and multimillionaire.

For those that say Black Eyed Peas ain't hip-hop....Will.I.Am is damn near making Nas' whole new album...WTF?

Bill Cosby.vs. HIPHOP, babydaddies, and you lower economic people...

Of all the Republicans for Russell Simmons to support....why this one.....that's keeping it WRONG.

The heads I met out in Hong Kong believe[worship] Hypebeast.....but some don't believe...THEHYPEBEAST.

ONE BLOOD PREMIERE

The GAME's video is hot, but it doesn't do justice to the track......don't you miss the G-UNIT namedropping and cameos?

BEAST FROM THE EAST

I'm not sure if the world is ready for this....

Back from Hong Kong, Beijing, and elsewhere in the Eastern Hemisphere...will return to Beijing and hit Babyface and Banana very soon......

Only hours upon entry into the States and I can already feel the hype for Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor escalating. Considering my previous post on "Mr. Righteous Kung Fu", I had credible reservations concerning his ability to attain mass appeal. [based upon my viewing of his lackluster performance] However, after watching his new video for "I Gotcha", I am still uncertain of how Lupe Fiasco will be perceived by the very fickle[downloading]buying public. The "I Gotcha" video is a very bold statement with respect to its assortment of pastel colors, action figures,StreetWear, and tripped out backgrounds. Contrarily, this video is already on MTV2, Lupe's backed by the internet,[respectively sneakerheads, cybergeeks...] heavyweights in the industry,[El Presidente, Skateboard P] and serious corporate backing[Reebok, and Atlantic Records' mean legal team] Hell, for some stupid reason Atlantic asked my man Eskay to pull an unreleased Lupe video off of his website. [Daydreamin ft. Jill Scott] I doubt I will be asked to remove it. It seems as if Atlantic doesn't understand the paradigm of Shameless Promotion like some of us do. However, with the advent of Food and Liquor on the horizon, the questions concerning Fiasco's official entrance into "the game" still linger. Will this freshman release do 50 Cent-like numbers and force hip hop to drop the glock and pick up the skateboard? Will Lupe really make it cool for [little] kids to be intelligent, nerdy, and ok to be into esoteric things like toy robots and Japanese Anime? Things change. Two and a half years ago, I didn't have the foresight to suggest that Kanye West would influence youth to wear Louis Vuitton bookbags and Polo shirts with their collars out. I guess only time will tell.

TOUCH THE SKY

Apologies for the sporadic posting.......Great Wall of China is also the sh*t.....

Some think the U.S should stop bitching about China's military spending....

Kanye West + Just Blaze + Scott Storch + Swizz Beats +TRINA[?] = A waste of time, talent, and money.......

Judge Mathis knows that "MINORITIES'' will soon become the majority in the U.S, but why are said minorities lagging in elite NYC high schools?

Listening to too much gospel and techno [not HIP-HOP] increases risks of becoming HIV positive. WTF?

Clinton Sparks' last Touch the Sky mixtape was garbage, now maybe 50 Cent can help him move units....

As if living off of Biggie's legacy wasn't enough....now we have to hear Puffy sing...... Next stop.....HK

ORIENT EXPRESS

Big Buddha brings peace.......

Don't mind me...I still can't shake this HK sh*t........

The week I decide to travel abroad there are..... foiled terror plot + children can board planes without tickets or a passport....

In addition, unclaimed cellphones and maniac passengers can force planes to land.....great!

The recently embattled Phonte of LB sounds off on the haters.

If I was in NYC this week, I would definitely be going to this.

The man is the president of the United States for Christ's sake, but is George Bush really an idiot?

Ex-NBA loser + loaded weapon = Shots fired at the White House? WTF?

Despite the possible backlash from No Limit fans.....I still don't know what the hell this judge was thinking...

Next stop........Beijing

STREET CONNOISSEUR

Haven't felt this materialistic since high school, but these poor people in HK are drowning in hot kicks and expensive name brand fashion........

My counterparts here in Hong Kong and throughout the Far East are not happy with the Japanese PM's tiny insensitive gesture....wonder why?

The self proclaimed kufi smacker threatens to sabotage Hov's establishment..........

"Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather puts his money where his mouth is.....hope he doesn't catch an L.

Though the Israeli-Lebanese war is "over"....an unlikely party is blaming BUSH for the debacle..

Now I understand why there are huge Damon Jones posters in HK....looks like SHAQ is next up..

Can anyone explain why 50 Cent is going to be collaborating with Chamillionaire?

Looks like Lil' Wayne's flow isn't the only thing that's HOT right now.........

Joi wooi....

TRAVELIN' MAN

Sh*t in HK is official....

Upon my arrival in the Far East, I see that U.S rappers aren't the only ones going to jail for bullsh*t......

Ice Cube says Black politicians are as suspect as the White ones......

Looks like the late Israel Ramirez's sister believes Busta Rhymes is full of sh*t.......

Dope video, "Listen" from Talib Kweli[ I just wish his voice hadn't become so damn high pitch and annoying....]

Mo' Money Mo' Problems for Jigga

"Look at these shoes yo you can't find that/'less you flyin' to Singapore[HK] homie you ain't buyin that"- LUPE FIASCO

Since my arrival in Hong Kong, I have been dumbfounded by the culture and fast pace way of life in this illustrious city. I have been influenced. Bathing Ape. Evisu. Hermes. Undercover. If you name it...Hong Kong has it tenfold. It may seem very naive and somewhat superficial to only discuss exclusive, high-end fashion when visiting a foreign country, however, there are ridiculous malls EVERYWHERE in HK[including the subway stations......it seems as if that's all there is to do here....seriously] I don't know who can afford it, but HK has everything and sorry to say it, but this place sh*ts on NYC in terms of fashion. Never believed that HYPEBEAST would come in handy, but I was able to visit DMOP, KING WAH CENTER, I.T., BAPE, EVISU, JUICE and every other miscellaneous fashion boutique specializing in cutting edge Street Wear and other exclusive punk, skaternerdish, Lupe Fiasco-like fashion. Additionally, I visited the infamous SNEAKER STREET in Mogk Kok where they sell endless Nike Airmaxes, Dunks, and every single sneaker made in the Far East.[though you must sort through all of the bootleg kicks]Though, I peeped their fashion scene, I haven't heard much hip-hop over here. However, considering the stares that I get and random requests from the locals begging to take a picture with me...maybe they think that I am a rapper?[ I feel like Blackzilla with the stares that I am getting from people over here...lol] All in all, my preliminary perception of HK legitimizes the notion that globalization is real and the 7/11s and KFCs on every corner prove it. Furthermore with that aside, as far as shopping goes, when it comes down to it, sh*t in HK is very official.....wow my head is still spinning...pause.....until next time...

ALONG TO HONG KONG

Pause...just because I'm going to StreetWear HQ....I won't come back rocking fruity colors and stuffed animals...

According to my humble observations, most of these internet whores[bloggers] don't ever leave their homes....EVER. Fortunately, I am unlike my counterparts and will shortly be departing for Hong Kong. With that said, expect frequent[yet sporadic] posts from the Far East , but continue to visit us at NonFictional Fantasies...

Just when your about to hit the airport....great......TERROR strikes....I smell an election year...

Conversely, maybe I chose the WRONG destination......

The Diddy/BAD BOY RECORDS curse continues....next victim.....Choppa?

Apparently....the majority of casualties in the Israeli-Lebanese war are.......children.

It looks like the crack habit just happens to run in the MAN's family..........

Furthermore, in HK I will have so much access to exclusive BAPEs and STREETWEAR that the Hypebeast skaternerds will turn green with envy...lol....early

HUNGER FOR MORE

Is hip-hop still hungry for G-UNIT?

The G-Unit monopoly crumbling? Not enough people put their Hands Up.....The Rotten Apple pushed back.....AGAIN.

I am elated that this fake GOP Senator lost the race.....too bad fort this radical Congresswoman...

My goodness...I've heard about Mos Def doing this, but damn....say it ain't so....why can't they be like Allen Houston?

How f*cking stupid can we be......more than half of adults in United States still believes Iraq had WMDs...WTF?

So who is the richest mogul in hip-hop, Diddy, Jigga, or Fifty? Where's Jimmy Iovine?

Saigon is killing, 'The Corner'.......if The Greatest Story Never Told sounds like this....there is still hope for 06'.

After you rape and kill a young Iraqi girl....why not just grill some chicken wings?

MORE DANGER

MORE DANGER from Pretty Flaco looms in the near future...

MORE DANGER....Mos Def's [possible] lead single from True Magic, aptly titled, Boogey Man......

Dead Prez + Outlawz = One Nation......did they even have a budget for this video? It's not looking too good...WTF Dead Prez....what happened to this?

Maybe I'm experiencing POWER of THE DOLLAR nostalgia, but I'm currently bumping this in my tapede.....IPOD.....yes I'm biased.

Hilary Clinton provided Secretary Rumsfeld with a public thrashing concerning the Iraq War, but remember....she's just another GUILTY politician.........

Steve-O = JACKASS.....see why Raekwon had to threaten to slap fire out his ass at the Rock The Bells concert...wow

Do you want to know where terrorism starts? This is one potential example........

As I previously stated, this Fall's album release dates makes the end of 2006 something to look forward to.....

Well...though it's not fully confirmed....I believe my inquiry concerning "Black Dante's'' new LP may have been answered. For the record, I [among many others] am still a fan of Mos Def. Additionally, I understand the late 90s have passed, New York hip-hop is not what it once was, and Rawkus Records ceases to exist. However, since the advent of Mos Def's venture into rock a la Jack Johnson, he has continually attempted to make the point that Black people invented Rock and Roll. With that said, I believe Mos Def, understand the purpose of his endeavor, and GET THE POINT. No true fan should inhibit an artist's growth, but at this point I don't think Mos' hip-hop fans can handle anymore Boogeyman songs. Sorry. I will still listen to True Magic, but it would be ideal if it was 95% Black on Both Sides and 5%[or 0%] Jack Johnson. Then again, do we have the right to complain? With Funkmaster Flex dropping bombs on stuff like this in 2006....maybe hip-hop enthusiasts should be happy with whatever they can get.
