SUPERMAN!

Did anyone catch the dunk contest this weekend? Because if you didn't than you really missed out. This was on of the best dunk contests since the Michael Jordan days. Dwight Howard's dunks were out of this world. It was great to see Howard put on the cape and take off his jersey to reveal the superman outfit. He became the tallest player ever to win the contest standing at 6'11. Yeaa hes pretty damn big! but he still gets a lot of air. His dunks were crazy and he made the all-star weekend great. Many felt Howard should have won the dunk contest last year so he proved to us this weekend that he is the best. All-Star weekend was really good and it puts the fun back into basketball. It's really entertaining and fun to watch. The All-Star Weekend also puts the fans back into the game as the fans vote on who should win the dunk contest. Also give it up to the Eastern Conference for winning their 3rd all star game in the past 4 years. Last years All-Star weekend in Las Vegas was really wild. A lot of rappers and celebrities were on hand and it was a wild weekend. There was the Pacman Jones nightclub shooting, the beef between Young Buck and Game, and many other controversies. This weekend was more calm. Take a look at some highlights from the dunk contest. Enjoy!

Kanye Your Not The Best!

After watching the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, it really opened my eyes to what a sore loser Kanye West is. I mean I'm not a big Kanye fan anyway but winning an award is a pretty honorable thing. People should feel blessed to have the privilege of winning an award of any sort, especially a grammy. But Kanye on the other-hand was not humble. After winning an award for rap album of the year, he said “this is my award.” He also repeated some of the other nominees names including Common and Nas and said “ if I don’t get up here for alnum of the year award you deserve it just as much as me. I deserve it too.” After hearing this, it made me realize how ridiculous he sounds. This wasn’t even a first case in which Kanye was showing some sore loser qualities in him. At the MTV Europe Music Awards last year, Kanye stormed the stage when Justice and Simian were presented the Best Video prize. He was also quoted by MSNBC saying “If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility.” I mean how pathetic is he? Thankfully for country music star Vince Gill, who was handed an award at the Grammy’s by the beatles and poked fun at Kanye by saying “Have you had that happen yet Kanye?” Also, for Usher, who said "There are no losers in this category Kanye." He really needs to stop acting so cocky, because people are getting sick and tired of it.

Cough Syrup Killed Pimp C

I was pretty upset when Houston rapper Pimp C of UGK was found dead in his Los Angeles hotel room on December 4th. A lot of people knew Pimp C from "Big Pimpin" with Jay Z and more recently "International Player's Anthem" with Outkast He was a really good and under-appreciated rapper. Originally they said that he died of natural causes but that was hard to believe because usually when someone is 33 years old they don't die of natural causes. So the toxicology reports came out a couple days ago and they show that Pimp whos real name is Chad Butler died from sizzurp. Sizzurp is a drink made out of Promethazine with Codeine syrup(Robitussin AC which is prescription only), sprite, and jolly ranchers. Some people add vodka, rum, and even prescription pills such as xanax and vicodin, which makes it even more harmful. This drink is really popular in the South and a lot of rappers rap about drinking it including Pimp C. I guess people don't understand that it's really harmful to your body. The ingredient that gets you messed up is the codeine. It is a downer that gets you really drowsy. The Robitussin AC, for which Pimp C had a prescription, lowered his breathing rate and became fatal when combined with the rapper's sleep apnea medical condition, which causes momentary lapses in breathing while sleeping. For some reason celebrities can get whichever prescriptions they want with no problems. Look at Heath Ledger,Brad Renfro, Ike Turner, and Anna Nicole Smith. All of them died from drug overdoses and many other celebrities die from this as well. People should definitely be more careful. I'm gonna leave you with a tribute for Pimp C by Lil Flip. Be careful and stay safe

New York Giants Super Bowl Champs

I'm gonna get a little off the music topic right now and talk about the Giants(sorry i had to do it)
New England Whoooo????? What Perfect Season? Big shout out to the MVP Eli Manning and the G-MENN!!!!!!! I felt like i was dreaming but i wasn't. I have been a Giants fan since i was a little kid. I'm not just one of those people jumping on the bandwagon so im really happy right now. Giants pulled out the greatest upset in super bowl history. This was the best football game i have ever seen. I gotta give congrats to the Giants for beating what many said was "The Greatest Team in NFL History". The G-Men took care of the Pats like Plaxico promised. It was crazy around New York City after the game. Everyone was driving around honking and screaming. It was great. I was really pumped because Big Blue brought home their first super bowl since 1990 and the first championship to New York since the 2000 Yankees. It really felt great taking down the now 18 and 1 Patriots. I loved seeing Junior Seau laying on the field stunned after Eli threw the game winning touchdown to Plax.I wanna know who's hittin' up the parade on Tuesday? That should be sick.... To show how proud i am of them, i decided that im going to get the Giants NY tatted on my leg. Yes I LOVE the Giants! Well i didn't forget about Tom Brady who said "We're only gonna score 17?" Tom you were right your not gonna score 17.... We are gonna score 17 and your gonna score 14!!!!!! This ones for you Tom...

Its ok Tommy you had a bad day but way to lose the perfect season. I don't know about people in Boston but i appreciate it so THANKS =)

and now....one of the GREATEST catches in Super Bowl history...This i really appreciate so thank you Eli, thank you David Tyree, and thank you Giants for playing one of the greatest games in NFL history...
