After a studio session with ShaD at Ya Momz House studio in East Liberty with CLG, DC, The brothers Dame and Kellen. I got a call from Golden telling me that He, B. Westbrook and my bro from like 3rd grade Eugene Jarvis were going to get a bite to eat before Gene went back to Kent State for the beginning of their season. After some good food with shitty service at Royal Caribbean, we sat around and had some good laughs and caught up on a lot. After leaving the restaurant, I needed to shoot some shots for a guerilla video i'm making of lead single from ShaD, Sleepers; I decided to just film what was going down. And the result...is We The Future....see below<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14532159&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14532159&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/14532159">We The Future</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user4607973">Leonardo Lauren</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Casino Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01506016136241029921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943965648617874250.post-73048295293907722102010-06-05T09:13:00.001-07:002010-06-05T09:55:29.517-07:00Wise Words from a Wise ManTalent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. <br /><br />You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. <br /><br />Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.<br /><br />A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment. <br /><br />If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes. <br /><br />Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. <br /><br />Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. <br /><br />All 7 of these quotes came from one man.....<br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=220px-Johnwooden.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/220px-Johnwooden.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />John Robert Wooden <br /><br />for any of you all who have no idea who John Wooden is...<br /><br />Hes only the Greatest Coach to Coach any sport....especially basketball. He is one of a few players that is in the Hall of Fame as both a player and coach. <br /><br />He won a National Championship in College as a player and 10...YES 10 National Championships as coach for UCLA.... <br /><br />No men's college basketball coach has more national championships <br /><br />John Wooden's knowledge and know how transceded the game of basketball. His books are read by coaches of all sports, teachers, preachers, lawyers, judges, CEOs and everyone else....<br /><br />He has coached some of the greatest basketball players including Lew Alcindor(Kareem Abdul Jabbar) and Bill Walton just to name a few. <br /><br />I woke up this morning to the sad news that John Wooden passed away from natural cases at the age of 99. <br /><br />He lived a long and strong life and touched more people than he will ever know. <br /><br />John Wooden will never be forgotten <br /><br /><br />I truly believe that death comes in 3s <br /><br />So i must say<br /><br />RIP to Dennis Hopper<br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=3d5995eb1d00e1fd8099abbe4ee33b30.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/3d5995eb1d00e1fd8099abbe4ee33b30.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />RIP to Gary Coleman <br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=tbdgarycoleman0213081.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/tbdgarycoleman0213081.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />RIP to Rue McClanahan<br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=rue_mcclanahan.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/rue_mcclanahan.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />With this all being said.....Cherish Life and Most imporatantly Life Now!Casino Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01506016136241029921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943965648617874250.post-22825662134088129852010-05-11T20:48:00.000-07:002010-05-11T21:01:45.781-07:00Drake- Find Your LoveMany say this movie reminds them of "Shottas" i guess it does kinda. But why is that? Because of the fact it takes place in Jamaica? I guess thats what it is....<br />But Drake shoulda listened to homie in the beginning of the video for real for real. <br />I know where he was coming from tho. In that situation I may have done the same thing, especially if she look the way gurly in this video looked. Oh Man!<br /><br />Enjoy!!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="215"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xd9fmd_find-your-love_webcam"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xd9fmd_find-your-love_webcam" width="480" height="215" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Sad ending tho. A love should never end that way. But it does end this way more than we know or want to know. <br />Videos like this will make a dude scared to love.<br /><br />But on a high note! This video made me like this song even more. It was just alright before but now i like it! <br />Good videos have the ability to do that, because this has happened to me before. <br /><br />Slow but surely...the Jones Street Journal is back...bear with me <br /><br />Water<br /><br />Also I must say that today in 1981, The Legend Robert Nasta Marley, simply know as Bob Marley was called back to the father. <br /><br />Peace and Blessings to Bob Marley for his efforts to free and unify the whole world. His contributions rang loudest in Jamaica but were felt all over the world. <br /><br />His music as touched me and has been inspiration, motivation and an escape for me and will continue to serve these purposes. <br /><br />RESPECT! <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/sfdjcD3Q0TE&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/sfdjcD3Q0TE&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Casino Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01506016136241029921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943965648617874250.post-39206257010950103702010-05-02T21:28:00.000-07:002010-05-02T21:28:27.414-07:00The GQ 10-Point Plan The Rest of Your Life: GQ.com<a href="http://www.gq.com/how-to/rest-of-your-life/201002/gq-ten-point-plan">The GQ 10-Point Plan The Rest of Your Life: GQ.com</a>Casino Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01506016136241029921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943965648617874250.post-69184201758731940712010-03-22T19:28:00.001-07:002010-03-22T19:45:08.668-07:00Letter to My Future Self,Earlier today while on twitter, when the hot trending topic was #dearfuturewife and the ladies tried to make #dearfuturehusband a topic...i went along with the topic and said 2 things...but then I made 2 honest remarks which were called sardonic by some... <br /><br />The First...<br /> <br />@Casino Jones To keep it 100 most of yall talking about #dearfuturehusband and yall minds aren't even right or ready...focus on improving urself first <br /><br />The Second....<br /><br />@CasinoJones Fellaz almost all of yall minds aren't ready either...so forget a message to ur future wife...how about a message to your future self...<br /><br /><br />Opinions of the tweets? <br /><br />I practice what I preach....So i bring you to...my letter to my future self, <br /><br /><br /><br />Dear Future Self, <br /><br />I trust you are reading this in great health & good wealth. <br />Still chasing our dreams. <br />Still pledging alliance to those on the same team of the same journey.<br />Remembering where we came from.<br />Possessing that Humble Confidence that Grandma thought us & <br />The hunger that our brothers gave to us. <br /><br />Are you still mad at those same people?

Dr. Martin Luther the King Jr..<br />(The King? Yeah...The King if you ever watched Coming to America then you know what i'm talking about.) All I have to say is that if it weren't for this man, the human race wouldn't be where it is right now...Period<br /><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=martin-luther-king.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/martin-luther-king.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested and photographed on Feb 22, 1956 at the age of 27 after a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. These are the eyes of a determined man.<br /><br />"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at a time of challenge and controversy. The true neighbor will risk his position and even his life for the welfare of others."<br />- Martin Luther King, Jr.<br /><br /><br /><br />The Haiti News continues to hurt my heart.<br /><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=original.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/original.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />As the news said that bodies cover the street and people make mask because of the smell of dead bodies. Why did this happen? Why did happen in Haiti? The poorest country in the western hemisphere...People say this confirms the 2012 theory of the world ending. I still don't believe that.<br />But Our collective question of why this happened will never be answered...atleast not in this lifetime...<br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=original-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/original-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=4270989221_4dc20691a3_o.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/4270989221_4dc20691a3_o.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />The good news is that Haiti should receive more than 100 million dollars from all of support and donations given. The thing is how long will this money take to get there? When will these checks be cut? Feel me?<br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=32602306.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/32602306.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />USNS Comfort will leave Baltimore tomorrow but will take a while to reach haiti...<br />Supplies have finally begin to arrive in Haiti but most of it is still at the airport...They are having issues getting it to the people because most roads are blocked..and they think people will riot when the supplies arrive. I truly hope that people don't riot but it may happen..<br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view¤t=32602231.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/32602231.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Today there was another earthquake..this time in Venezuela..not as serious as the one in Haiti. No deaths have been reported yet but a few serious injuries.<br /><br />Will a third earthquake happen? I hope not.<br /><br />But none of that stuff matters as long as we're all good and safe here right?! <br /><br />(Please hint my sarcasm..) <br /><br /><br />Happy Friday to all...

(This has held true and false) But I met one person that I would never forget as long as I lived....<br /><br />Jeremy Ross...Called J by most.<br />Living on the Penthouse (5th Floor) of Drew Hall, we all became brothers with each other. J was a wild dude to say the least. But he and I had a appreciate, admiration, a respect for each other. He and I became even tighter when we both found out our favorite rapper was Nas. No One...No One was a bigger Nas fan than me...until I met J. He put me on new Nas songs...songs that I hadn't heard. I had to respect it. We both had the same taste in rap, i think thats what bonded us. Me and J had a rivalry on NBA Live on Playstation 2.(I dunno what the series was..but i think he had me by a few games..) I stayed away from J in the Madden cuz he was nice..yall know he was nice! lol.<br />Most said he was strange and maybe he was...But he was My Nigga....regardless. No one went harder! And we used to get it in on the 5th that year. Get It in!! I'll never forget our trip to Georgetown...<br />Everyone who went remembers the trip to Georgetown! How could you not?!<br />Remember J said "I feel like i'm in super mario right now" and started jumping off the walls in front of drew and made the super mario sounds?! lmao and when he picked up the cabbage from in front of Drew and threw it?!<br />When we got to Georgetown this man peed on a statue of a lion or something..lol...That was a crazy right!! Crazy!!! I'll never forget it!!<br /><br />I remember when Dashawn and J got into it in Fred and Gary's room and Dashawn was slamming J..and noone expected Dashawn to do that!!! That was sooooo funny!!! Gotta remember that!! lol<br /><br />When I made my first trip to Houston, I had to hit up Jeremy...we made the trip to Jeremy's crib in Sugarland...But Jeremy def almost got us killed dealing with some clown ass dude in Mo City(Missouri City a suburb of Houston) That shit was crazy!!! I can laugh at it now...but then..it wasn't that much of a joke...but when i look back...we didn't take it that seriously then too...lol<br /><br />I have so many other memories with Jeremy...some that I won't share on here...lol But i think we all have a memory with Jeremy... If you do.. take a moment and think about that time.<br /><br />I feel like Jeremy lived his life to the fullest and did alot in the 22 years he was on earth...he lived like there was tomorrow...almost like he knew he didn't have long to live.<br /><br />Today, January 8th, Jeremy was laid to rest in Houston, Texas. Leaving behind a family who lived him dearly and friends who will miss him forever.<br /><br />This is an example of why we need to cherish life, appreciate every moment, every day, every victory and defeat. We never will get those back.

Take Note....everybody borrowed this beat from Styles P to Joel Ortiz to Lloyd Banks...Now be playing a Steeler home games... U gotta fuck with it! Everybody fucks with Snoop.. cmon! Why haven't you heard this yet?! The Dream is featured to 2 songs and Soulja Boy as well as Jasmine Sullivan are on here.

If fab would have dropped this album last year, he would have been most definitely included on the top 5 list. But this wasn’t an off year for hip-hop, this was a very good year for hip hop if you realize it or not. Just look at the top 5 list. Fab usually always has the ability to make everyone song on his album a single and that is the case on Loso’s Way too. Fab closes out this album the same way Nas did with "I Am", with a vivid story of a relationship turned very bad, painted on a beat thats hypnotizing. I have alot of favorites on this album.. its hard to choose. </span></span></span><!--EndFragment--></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Fav Songs:</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I Miss My Love, Lullaby & Last Time feat.

I really liked it..Most of the spring and early summer I was playing this.. "Maybach Music 2" should be up for a grammy for real. We never hear songs like that anymore. "Magnificent" was one of the theme songs of my Spring Break trip to Jamaica earlier this year...On "Valley of Death", Ross says "The Meek shall inherit the earth, thats what the bible say."

Lets stretch those out! If one of those number 5s had to stay I'd say this one...This album does have a dull point but the high points are High! Chef spits it!!!</span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Fav Songs:</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> Pyrex Vision, Surgical Gloves, Cold Outside, Fat Lady Sings</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">3. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(102, 102, 102); white-space: pre; "><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=mos-def-the-ecstatic.jpg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/mos-def-the-ecstatic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></span></span></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Mos Def- The Ecstatic</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">No one was more excited to find out that Mos Def was dropping an album more than me!! I bought this album the first day it came out...The only album I can say that for for this whole year. Most of yall probably didn't even know Mos Def dropped something this year. Well shame on you! Real shame on you! Cuz this album is ill!! Mad Lib takes us back to the 19th century or earlier on "Auditorium" and thanks to a clever 16 by Slick Rick The Ruler..this is one of the best songs on the album. Mighty Mos goes bilingual on "No Hay Nada Mas" singing the entire song in spanish..you'll love it then tho you might not understand the song. More enjoyable then "True Magic" i'm so happy that Mos Def finally dropped something. We'll prolly never get just a rap album from Mos but I'm not complaining! You just gotta appreciate what hes bringing. This album could have easily been number 2. Talib Kweli drops the meanest guest verse of the year on "History", disagree? Take a listen!! Casa Bey is simple beautiful! Mos shows us why he is and still one of the best with this project. </span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Fav Songs</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">: Roses, Priority, Worker's Comp, Casa Bey, History feat.

I have a couple. The opening track got me.. featuring Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun (a group I discovered this year and am a big fan of now!) Jay's not santa clause ppl! Hes not!!! This jam sounds like the song to play when you just landed in another country. Walking through the airport and you can't read any of the signs. There is no track skipping on this album...Its not aloud! Or not suggested. This album could have easily been Number 1. The rumored and anticipated BP3 did not disappoint. This album has some of the best production (of course, its Jay) It also features a roster of what many would call the up and comers in Hip Hop (Drake, J. Cole & Kid Cudi) as well as seasoned vets (Yeezy, Jeezy and Pharrell). There isn't much more to say about it. The Blueprint 3 is The Blueprint 3..Better than the second...Just as much as a statement as the First. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Fav Songs: What We Talkin' About, On To The Next One, So Ambitious & Already Home</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(102, 102, 102); white-space: pre; "><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=wale-attention-deficit-300x300.jpg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/wale-attention-deficit-300x300.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></span></span></a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Wale- Attention Deficit </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Most Impactful Debut Album since 50 Cent- Get Rich or Die Trying and Kanye West- College Dropout.

Mixtapes have grown from being unknown to a staple of hip hop and of album promotion. To some mixtapes have become our favorite "albums" from artist....With the end of this decade...Mixtapes have taken a seat as being an essential part of Hip Hop and Now R&B<br /><br />Heres the List: (Most start with number 1 and List down....What the hell for?)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Honorable Mention: </span><br /><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=lil-wayne-no-ceilings.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/lil-wayne-no-ceilings.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Lil Wayne- No Ceilings<br /><br />Ripping some of this year's favorite beats. Lil Wayne along with the assistance of Young Money delivered something to bump in October. Wayne continued to display his wit on tracks with little remorse. Sounding better on some tracks than the original arist. To me "<span style="font-style: italic;">Single</span>" is the best damn song on this mixtape and might be one of the best songs of the year for real.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Song:</span> Single<br /><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=lupe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/lupe.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Lupe Fiasco- Enemy of the State: A Love Story<br /><br />Lupe has been ghost since the release of "The Cool". And BOY! were we glad that he is back. He told us Happy Thanksgiving with a release that confused us. One track?? What the hell?? Lupe was short and to the point with a release slighty under 23 minutes in length. Ripping a Radiohead beat and spitting better than Diddy on "<span style="font-style: italic;">Angels Remix</span>" (of course! are u surprised?) Apparently "Friend of the People" is supposed to drop on Christmas...with like 3 days to see. We will see if we get our stockings stuff with another Lupe mixtape this year.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Song:</span> All The Way Turnt up<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5:</span></span><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=00-the_cool_kids-gone_fishing-front.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/00-the_cool_kids-gone_fishing-front.png" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />The Cool Kids: Gone Fishing<br /><br />I've been following these guys since I heard Black Mags on a commercial. Witty as all hell. The Cool Kids delivering what some may call a hipster mixtape with beats to make every amateur producer jealous and every professional producer want to step their game up. Gone Fishing was the perfect summer mixtape as i rode around Pittsburgh slapping "<span style="font-style: italic;">Popcorn</span>" habitually. With funny ass words of wisdom from the homie GLC. This was a full production full with displays the bright future of Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks from the D(Detroit) and the Chi respectively. You can play Gone Fishing whenever and I promise your mode will lighten.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Song:</span> Broadcasting Live<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4:</span></span><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=wiz-flight-school.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/wiz-flight-school.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Wiz Khalifa- Flight School<br /><br />PITTSBURGH STAND THE FUCK UP!!! Wiz added to his already growing catalog of mixtapes with the perfect smokers mixtape, released just in time for 4/20. Flight School gave everyone an anthem and new ringtone for the spring, summer and maybe the fall and winter. With crazy production from Pittsburgh's own Johnny Juliano and Sledgren, Wiz gave us 22 tracks of bangers. A sunday cruise soundtrack on "Take Away" and a mid week motivator with "<span style="font-style: italic;">I'm Good</span>" & "<span style="font-style: italic;">Hollywood Hoe</span>s" Displaying substance and lyrical growth as well as the ability to bring us from space (Star Power) and dropped right back to the sky and put us in school with Flight School. Anyone in their 20s with an ear for music could easily love this mixtape.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Song: </span>Material & Dreamer<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3:</span></span><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=j-cole-the-warm-up-450x450.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/j-cole-the-warm-up-450x450.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />J. Cole- The Warm Up<br /><br />The highly anticipated mixtape from the young gun endorsed by Jay-Z did NOT disappoint. "<span style="font-style: italic;">Can I Live</span>" left me with a tear in my eye. "<span style="font-style: italic;">Grown Simba</span>" had be wanting to take over the world! "<span style="font-style: italic;">Lights Please</span>" had me questioning the standards of every female I know. "<span style="font-style: italic;">I Get Up</span>" became my Good Morning song and "The Badness" had my asking how old is this dude?? Needless to say everything else in between will touch you in one way or another. With nothing but soulful production and your and my favorite beats there isn't a dull moment on this 22 track homerun hit served up by Jermaine Cole from "Fayettenam" (Fayetteville as called by others). This was a mixtape dropped in the summer that won't really hit your head until the fall. If you haven't heard this mixtape..Your lunchin..Go buy it now. It will give you a new hope for the future of hip hop. On a side note: i met J. Cole during my school's homecoming (Howard if you didn't know) This dude is still hungry and humble...a dangerous combination. I expect big things from homie.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Song:</span> Knock Knock & Dollar and A Dream II<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2:</span></span><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=3641709107_d970a5f841_o.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/3641709107_d970a5f841_o.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Wale & 9th Wonder- Back to the Feature<br /><br />DC!!! You (we) have arrived!!! Accept and appeciate it!!! And forget everything else. 9th wonder blesses us with nothing but the best when it comes to beats. This feature heavy mixtape delivers the type of shit you prayed would be on your ipod. With everyone from Beanie Sigel to Jean Grae (who I have a huge hip hop crush on), Wale still is able to paint us a picture of who he is and why hes here. Speaking on various situations he shows us his versatility which continue to be seen on his debut album. I can't say enough about this mixtape but I was sad that it ended and when it did...I just started that joint over! No Bullshit (w/ my DC accent) which is very believable. Damn is the magic number 22? Wale and 9th told a story on this mixtape. I love the title and the cover! A huge back to the future fan i'm glad this mixtape was as good a the movie. It amazes me that people still haven't heard Wale. I had to put my bro Golden on this mixtape and I believe he now fucks with Wale. Foralin even dug up Memphis Bleek on a soulful sample heavy jam! Whatelse can you ask for? Maybe backing from LRG? Guess what? This shit got it too!!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Songs:</span> Goodbye (feat. Jean Grae) , Rather Be With You (Vagina is for Lovers) (feat. Curren$y & J. Cole) & Wonder Why (Feat. Big Sean, Ken Starr & Mike Ponser)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1:</span></span><br /><a href="http://s475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/?action=view&current=drake-so-far-gone.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/jonesstreetjournal/drake-so-far-gone.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br />Drake- So Far Gone<br /><br />The only mixtape that was suggest be released as an album and guess what?! It was released as an album months later and still sold big units. I had heard Drake prior to this mixtape but this dude showed me something...Hes not going anywhere soon. As you can see as he joined forces with the must emulated male and female in Hip Hop (Wayne & Nicki) Drizzy gives you his story. Not too deeping but deep another. Lust for Life says shit we've always felt! What a way to open up a mixtape or i mean album...whatever..yall know what i'm tryna say. You can play this at 6am (which I did on the way to batting practice) or 2am (by yaself or with someone else..which i did too) Rapping and singing successfully is something that we don't see happen very often. But Jimmy...lol does it. And good too!! Sampling Pete Bjorn and John on a break up song to a song talking about the strained relationship with his father. Drake tells you why hes so far gone...well kinda. This mixtape got me thru a very pressing time this year for several reasons but i'm glad i was able to get through it. Thanks to this mixtape and prayer and an Iron Will. "<span style="font-style: italic;">Lets Call it Off</span>" has me calling it off with my girl (with good reasoning of course) and "<span style="font-style: italic;">Successful</span>" increased my hunger as well as almost blew out my speakers and also found its way on the top 50 played songs on my itunes. Give Drake the belt! As the Outro from the mixtape plays...sounding like your walking through a 5 star hotel lobby at noon. I love it! You gotta love! If you haven't heard this yet...I question your love for music...not even hip-hop at this point.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fav Song:</span> Lust for Life, Lets Call It Off(feat. Pete Bjorn & John) & Sooner Than Later<br /><br />This is my list...and no one elses....your have your opinion and i have my many...agree to disagree and keep it moving.

And I must apologize.<br /><br />So much has happened since my last true blog update.<br /><br />If you all know me...Ya'll know that i'm a cavs fan. So i am upset about the lose to the Magic. I was just as upset as LeBron was. Honestly at the moment when the game was over. I didn't blame him for walking off the court like he did, because I would have done the same thing. I hate losing the same way. Do you always have to speak to the media? Especially when they are gonna ask questions that are gonna upset you and making it hurt even more. Like "How does it feel to lose in the East Finals?" man how do you think it feels. I would have wanted to avoid those type of questions too.<br />Everybody is all like why havent you called Dwight? Have you emailed him? Are LeBron and Dwight even that cool? Damn ppl think just cuz they are the stars on their respective teams that they are best friends...they might not even like each other. I have heard about certain NBA players being friends but i've never heard about LeBron and Dwight...but i could be wrong.<br /><br />Last night was a good night. My Pens pulled with in one! And i must say it is because of the performace of Evgeni Malkin, that fight after game 2 got the whole team and city angry and excited to play in pittsburgh. I'm glad that he wasn't suspended for a game, the NHL looked out on that and ppl are complaining about it, I feel in the playoffs certain rules should be eliminated or altered that should is one of them. Malkin had 3 assist yesterday! Which is amazing, there is no way he shouldn't be MVP this year. Maxime Talbot also had a great game and he has been coming to play lately. I feel like all of our pieces are turning it on at the right time. Everybody is worried that Sid hasn't scored in the series yet. LOOK! Sid is gonna snap at the right time....When i say Snap...i don't mean like go nuts or crazy....but Snap like...get in the zone and can't be stopped...its gonna happen. You know when its gonna happen...The game that we need the most, the game that is going to win us the Stanley Cup. So i'm not worried about Sid and Sid shouldn't be worried about Sid. Its a team sport ppl! And everyone can score goals in hockey.<br /><br />Shouts out to the Buccos for winning some games against the Mets...I'm very optimistic about the Bucs this year, I honestly feel like we can win our division or atleast the wild card...No Lie!

From what I (we) know is that, both parties had been cheating on each other...apparently CB was the first to cheat and Rhi followed suit. Then i heard that she gave him herpes...Whoa! I dunno if this is true or not. We also know that CB went Ike Turner on Rhi....regardless of what did happen..This is unacceptable...No man should ever lay his hands on a woman in which the manner Chris did....this shows cowardice. His excuse that his father used to abuse him and his mother is no excuse at all...this should me more of a reason for you not to hit a woman. Chris has lost his "Got Milk" and Wrigley's Doublemint endorsements...and this is deserved. But if Rhianna was burning and purposely burnt CB...this is not cool at all, very scandalous on her part. And she deserves for something to happen to her....Maybe not a Rocky Balboa like beating but something....I'll be praying but both parties....</div><div><br /></div><div>Thats all i have to say about that. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next....Manny Ramirez turns down another contact from the Dodgers....2 yrs 45mil....i don't know what other team is interested but they better show their hand soon. The only team i could think that would possibly be interested and would want to spend the money is the Yanks...so we'll see.</div><div><br /></div><div>Speaking of BIG MONEY....Albert Hanyesworth goes to the Redskins for 100 million.....YES 100 MILLION DOLLARS!!!! Granted that Haynesworth was one of the most dominant players on defense besides James Harrison, Troy Polamalu, and Damarcus Ware. He was the best interior defensive linemen. But 100 mil! The most EVER paid to a defensive player...In this economic hardship....But if you have the money....spend it. I hope this is a good investment. And doesn't blow up in Dan Synder's face.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kel Winslow to the Bucs! This is good for two reason....Winslow is now out of the AFC North and is now on a team that i truly like....The Tampa Bay Bucs.
