While some hold their breath in anticipation of retaliation, millions of people feel a sense of pride and relief with the world event that is Osama Bin Laden’s death. The news conjures feelings of unity, joy and maybe closure to many who took the time to honor those murdered at the hands of terrorists on 9/11. Thus, it was disappointing to hear a mutual friend and high-school history teacher refer to the President’s announcement as “A partisan, disgraceful Obamafest” instead of a moment of inspiration and leadership. Even though we waited for an hour, and the news leaked via the media before Obama could even speak, it was still important to hear him confirm such a headline.

When asked why the President’s announcement was such a “disgrace” the teacher responded, “He claimed so much credit for himself. It was selfish, childish, and borderline offensive.”

Not only did his mentality scare me, but his career choice as well. Nowhere in President Obama’s announcement did he say “I killed Bin Laden” but rather, he gave the go ahead to the Special Forces to handle business. Speaking in terms of duties related to the office is what any president would have done.
Consequently, the true disgrace may be this closed minded educator of America’s youth…Is the focus on Obama’s responsibilty a common thought and/or reaction?

Here’s my 2cents:
We all know that Eminem was ‘seeing’ Mariah back in like 2000 or 2001. (Sorry Nick, its true.) I’ve even seen friends of mine point binoculars at Mariah’s penthouse in Tribeca or somewhere down there. (Yeah I know, it sounds crazy stalker-like.) The same dudes prank called MC with Em. So stop with the lying and denying ish. Unless she was too coked up to remember or maybe its Em that was high at the time he got to see those sexy lady lumps.

So it happened, let’s have a laugh about it, I’m sure that’s what they may have agreed to. But little Nicky had to come in and play the tough guy. Come on dawg… Come on Nicky C. Why can’t you just laugh at Eminem’s nonsense and keep it moving? Everyone know Eminem can’t rap no more. He’s a big clown! A damn payaso Nick. Wasn’t it Jay-z that once said ‘… don’t argue with fools, cause from a distance people can’t tell who is who…’ All I’m saying is that, damn it Nick, you aren’t a tough guy, and you know you’re messing up your funny/nice guy image. Take it easy before you’re kicked out of Hollywood. LOL.

So Mrs MC, what do you think this track is gonna do? Help you promote your album right? Come on girl… You don’t need that ish.
If they both (Nick and Mariah) had gone the Kim Kardashian route and just laughed it off, it wouldn’t add any fuel to this fire.

Oh well… Kids will be kids I guess. But it would be cool if Eminem ‘leaked’ some kind of teabagging pics or something. No?

Aint got much, its been a pretty slow day. Nothing too nonsensical happened today.

But living in NYC you know something interesting is bound to happen.

Shout to my brother Che.

Gotta get you on here so you can spit hot fire.
