Apples

It is said...
“Women are like apples on trees, the best ones are on the top of the tree. The men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and don't want to get hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't so good but easy. So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top because they value quality."

What do you think about this?
True?
False?
Right?
Wrong?

Tha Battle for Bankhead has Begun

V.S.

The Battle for Bankhead

Now if you're a hip hop head like myself, you saw the beef stew getting hot before it started to boil over...months ago. Now the stew is starting to stain the side of the pot.
If you don't know, get to know.

Shawty Lo- K.I.N.G.

Now we all know T.I. claims to be the King of the South...was this a jab at T.I?

T.I. - Big shit Poppin

"See I said I was KING, and them lames started laughing
-though same suckers now want the KING on the track!"

Clip from Shawty Lo's DVD- The Real Bankhead Story. Is he getting at T.I?

"Nigga say he from the WESTSIDE?
Well Gotdamn!! It must be TWO sides!" --Shawty Lo

T.I's response?

"These niggas talking KING, but they pockets clean...
I aint BANKHEAD, bitch nigga- what is this about?!"

T.I. addresses the issue in an interview

"Do something worth considering first...then maybe- just maybe you will be ACKNOWLEDGED!" --T.I.

T.I. new joint- No Matter What

"So I huff and puff rhymes
lyrics so sick wit it
Set the standard in Atlanta how to GET GET GET IT!
So you up and coming rappers wanna diss, just kill it..."

Shawty Lo responds to T.I's comments

"I aint never say he didn't put Bankhead on the map...but he aint from Bankhead!"

Foolish (Remix)- Shawty Lo, Birdman, Jim Jones, and Rick Ross
http://www.zshare.net/audio/117296609b2b62b8/
"Cross your Ts and dot your Is
I'm a real Bankhead man, that's no lie!"

Shawty Lo searches for T.I. in Bankhead

"Aye, you ever seen T-Lie around Bankhead?"

Let the battle begin!
Let's just hope it doesn't get out of hand...We know what happened when T.I. was getting into it with Lil Flip...

Beef may not be a good look for T.I. right now considering the circumstances...If I were him, I'd be staying away from ALL types of trouble...

I guess he has two people to battle now- Shawty Lo, AND T.I.P.

Peace & Blessings

Craziness on Marta

Peep this video of a woman going monkey food on a Marta train in Atlanta...

I'm not going to act like I didn't laugh...I did. Hysterically as I talked to one of my best friends about it, and read the lyrics that are displayed on the same page as the video.
But then my laughter ceased as I looked upon the ignorance below the video in the comment section and saw what did NOT surprise me...

"Another prime example of a typical black person. Full of disrespect, making a fool of themselves, repeating over and over even though no one wants to hear it, and the feeling they can do whatever they want.

Black people should feel ashamed at this example of a black person.

I was gonna vote for Obama but after seeing this vid I"m convinced putting a black man in office is a very BAD idea!"

Of course there were other comments about the INDIVIDUAL who commited the act, you know- the PERSON, not the whole race from which they are- from people who have sense, and those who think OUTSIDE of their little box- literally.

"They get enveloped by the vision teller
The television tells them their vision
That's why it's hard for them to make decsisions..."-- Andre 3000 (30 something remix)

I feel so sorry for people who continue to watch TV and YouTube and pull their perceptions of people from there.

My advice to them: step outside and LOOK at people. LEARN People. Get to KNOW people instead of stereotyping and holding onto these stupid stereotypes for dear life...

Do I feel ashamed of this "black person" acting a fool on the train? Yes, indeed I do- but, is this woman related to me? Have I ever seen her in my life? Have I ever held a conversation with her? No, so why in hell should she be a reflection of me, or the whole entire black race? Why should she be a reflection of Barack Obama- of all people? Has he ever even been in contact with this woman?

A video of somebody who has nothing to dow ith him will trow off your vote? If so, people like you shouldn't be voting anyway. I guess that's how Bush got in, and stayed in office. **comedic drumroll**

So I guess beacuse I saw footage of white people hanging blacks, I should automatically think every white person carries extra rope in the trunks of their cars, huh?
Because I see an Asian woman in the nail shop on a sitcom, that means that every Asian in the world knows how to do nails, huh?
Because I see a movie about a Mexican gang, I should think every mexican man on Earth is a Westside Loco, hm?
Because I see a blonde girl in a porno, ALL white blondes can have great sex?
And last but not least, because I see footage of a black woman going nuts on a Marta train, I should believe every black woman, no- black person on this planet is capable of doing the same, right?
Shoot, maybe I'm wrong for not thinking the way I do...
Maybe I should get with the program.

A pet peeve of mine is ignorance.
Nuff said.

But on a side note...is Hip Hop to blame?
Almost everything she said had a reference to hip hop...
hmmm...

McDonald's

For the past week, I'd been craving McDonald's french fries...
To the point I would text my best friends simply the word 'McDonald's'...lol.
There's something about their fries- when done right, it's like a greasy heaven- no, hell- in your mouth.
Heaven is too fluffy, too nice.
These fries are from the devil...straight tempation.
Yesterday, upon my drive from Valdosta, I finally got some fries...
and they were done right.

Just the right color, the right sprinkle of salt, the right amount of *crunch*...

Oh..my...God...
I was in hell- and I enjoyed it!
Ahh...I'm thinking about hopping in the Black Pearl right now and going down the street just to get me some...
But the chance that they won't be done right is holding me back....
Hm.
I'll letcha know how it goes!

Peace & Blessings

P.S. yeah, I know you're seeing ALOT of videos on here lately...but it's not a video blog! I've just been very busy, and if I catch something that I feel needs to be shown to you, I'm going to show you...posting a viedo takes 5 minutes, whereas writing something takes as long as the heart needs. Don't worry, I'm not falling off or getting lazy...there are bunches of drafts here and there. In a couple days you'll have more blogs than you can read- like before. lol. Alot has been changing in my life...and you'll know all about it soon come.

Crank Dat!!

LMAO!
wow...videos are dangerous.
Sorry, sis...sorry mercie...lol. You're all on BLAST.
Crank it!

Let's try that again...

Whoop Rico is next, baby! lol
Peace & Blessings
