Where my ladies at????


You know how women complain about how there are no good men out there? Well I’m starting to feel the same way regarding women. I’m sure I will catch a lot of slack for this or even end up on the couch tonight but that’s okay, I have the heat generated by my TV an Xbox to keep me warm tonight. I’m taking one for the team.

To be totally honest with you, I haven’t broken my neck in a minute. I’m not switching teams or even considering being traded. Never!!! Just don’t care like I used to. At first I though, well maybe I'm just growing up, but that’s not it. Maybe its because my girl's hella bad and I’m not humping around so that could be it. Is it my diet? Am I losing testosterone? Nope, none of the above. I’m not different, women are.

The things that I used to find sexy about a woman or like about a woman are disappearing. I couldn’t imagine dating. This is my dilemma. Women are like dudes now. Talk and act like dudes now too. Some even look like dudes too but that’s another story. Because of this, some women loose their appeal. That feminine touch is gone. I’m not saying wear an apron and be in the kitchen, because that’s wack. I love a strong woman who is a go getter, so don’t confuse me.

There is a an on and off switch that I notice stays on more than it does off and some women's switch is broken. What ever happened to the smiles and nice warm personalities? I know that we men are partial to blame and i can understand that, but its too much.

I even discussed this with several women and got pretty much the same thing. Women feel liberated and empowered now a days as well as equal and in some cases superior to men so it like role reversal. More power to y'all, hey my mother's a woman too but turn it down a notch. Now its an abuse of power.



In order for a dude to get in (not your draws) good they have to get over the wall of China which you've built up then through hoops of flames. Granted, you must protect your heart but at what cost? Women date with a strategy and from a defensive point of view. Do what you gotta do but when you ask yourself why you have no man, look in the mirror. There needs to be a balance. Remember bitch is a derogatory word not something to aspire for. All that attitude is ugly.

At the end of the day, remember, we love y’all, just tone it down a notch. Strong women, professional, hardworking, educated women are sexy. Just remember, its not a completion. Go watch tough love on VH1, some of y’all need a reality check. If you have a better explanation for me, please let me know.

Manny Pacquiao proved why he's considered the best pound-for-pound fighter Saturday night (May 2), when he KO'd Ricky Hatton in the second round during their junior welterweight title bout.

At the end of the fight, the Filipino superstar connected with a devastating left cross to the head, leaving the British brawler dazed and confused on the canvas. Referee Kenny Bayless took one look at Hatton and called the fight at 2:59 of the round.

Knock downs were the theme for this round and a half of boxing. After cautionously figuring out Hatton's constant forward moving, Pac-Man began to unleash punch flurries, before dropping Hatton for the first time midway through the first round.

It was when Hatton cocked back to throw a left that Manny Pacquiao saw his opening. He followed immediately with a punishing right hook to the head, catching Hatton right on the chin. After the fight, both Pac-Man and his trainer Freddie Roach said the hook was executed exactly how it was practiced in the gym.

"Every time Ricky throws his left hand, he pulls it back and cocks it, and he's wide open for a short right hook on the inside from the South Paw stance," said Roach in the post interview. "We worked on that every day in the gym, the timing shot. It just worked beautifully."

"That's the right hook," Manny explained, while watching playback of the first round knock down with HBO's Larry Merchant. "We study that every day in the gym. If you see the [HBO's '24/7'], I throw a lot of hooks in the training. So, that's why he's very surprised on that style."

Despite the quick knock down, Hatton rose at the count of eight, but Pac-Man landed yet another flurry and dropped him once again right before the bell ended the first round.

Both fighters exited to their corners, and went back to it in round two, but Pacquiao was just too fast and powerful for Hatton to handle. The pride of the Philippines sized up the British fighter for one last big punch. It was a right cross that Hatton never saw coming, leaving him flat on the canvas.

"I'm surprised the fight was kinda easy. For me, I consider the fight is hard because he can punch. He have a strong left hand," a humble Pacquiao said.

"That's what was our strategy -- the one punch hook by hook. Left hook and right hook, that's gonna be the key to this fight."

Although Pacquiao was a 2-1 favorite over Hatton, many predicted that Hatton would be Pac-Man's toughest opponent to date. Manny had to come up in weight to meet Hatton at 140 ponds. Some wondered if his power would be enough to hurt Hatton who has a reputation as a tough and aggressive fighter who wears his opponents down.

He stood no chance against Pacquaio though.

After the devastating knockout, Hatton rose from the canvas several minutes after doctors tended to him. He walked back into the locker room without a post interview.

It was the second loss of Hatton's career. His only loss prior, came at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr., who KO'd him in the 10th round of their fight in December 2007.

Pacquiao's victory comes on the same day Mayweather announced his return to the ring, by way of a July 18 fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. With Pacquiao's lopsided win over Hatton, many predict a match with Mayweather is next. That is, if he wins against Marquez this summer.


When asked if Mayweather is the man he'd like to face next, Pacquiao said it's all in the hands of the promoters. "I can fight anybody. It depends on my how my promoters negotiations are. I'm just a fighter, doing my job training, and keep 100% in the fights."

After reading the breakdown it's clear to see which artist is in the red with their company. The moral of the story is, in the climate that we're in with the music industry major record labels should not be spending so much marketing dollars based on hype, beef, bad energy, and bad decisions made by record executives. Let this be a lesson learned...

Is it really a rap???


“Sad news is spreading that Kelis and Nas’ marriage is no more—this time, for real. Apparently, Miss Milkshake is fed up with this QB dude’s verbally abusive and cheating ways. Let us not forget, ole girl is seven months preggars. Smh. We at Rap Radar hope these crazy kids can work it out, but it’s not lookin’ good. If all goes as planned, Kelis should be filing for divorce very soon. Damn shame!”


Verbally abusive ways?** Yeesh. Verbally abusive to a expectant mom? Double Yeesh. Well, I’d like to know Nas’ side of the story as well. But either way….it sounds like separation is for the best. I feel like 2 happy separate parents make for a better childrearing environment than 2 unhappy together parents.I did think they made for a very handsome couple.



Banks responds to Officer Ricky





"As far as calling out Eminem, you're not in the top 10 lyricists nowhere," Banks said. "So just sit down, man. We seen what Em can do. Em's in a whole 'nother lane. How do you go from praising somebody in one interview to calling him a 'monkey' in the next? He's been in out of pocket too many times. We'll see where his future goes. It doesn't look too bright, if you ask me." Said Llyod Banks.
