At the end of the DAY, the only thing that you have is yo heart, spirit, and your intuition.

Sista’s we gotta use it. Real talk.

My intuition is teaching me to talk about the founk I have directly with the person I have it with and NOT tha’ homies.

When that voice in your chest and in your head is telling, PLEASE BELIVE something, then gon’ ahead and do it. God have you that gift for a reason. Use it.

Talk about getting MAD MONEY OF THE BOOKS THIS YEAR.
LEGALLY. UM. GO CAPITALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Simons, a math whiz who founded Renaissance Technologies, made $1.5 billion in 2005, according to the survey by Alpha, a magazine published by Institutional Investor. That trumps the more than $1 billion that Edward S. Lampert, known for last year’s acquisition of Sears, Roebuck, took home in 2004. Remember, http://downtownsault.org/downtown/shopping/boondocks-portrait-studio-hat-shop/ viagra uk people love to know that they’re being thought of.

(Don’t fret for Mr. Lampert; he earned $425 million in 2005.) Mr. Simons’s $5.3 billion flagship Medallion fund returned 29.5 percent, net of fees.

No. 2 on Alpha’s list is T. Boone Pickens Jr., 78, the oilman who gained attention in the 1980’s going after Gulf Oil, among other companies. He earned $1.4 billion in 2005, largely from startling returns on his two energy-focused hedge funds: 650 percent on the BP Capital Commodity Fund and 89 percent on the BP Capital Energy Equity Fund.

Mean Sexy. We need to start that list of billionaires to invite to the fund raiser for our school and put these negros at the top of the list.

At least you are not in her shoes. How you ‘gone MAKE somebody be your maid.
They need to go to jail for 19 years.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) — A federal jury found a wealthy suburban couple guilty Friday of harboring an illegal immigrant and forcing her to work as their maid for 19 years.

The Filipino national testified during the eight-day trial that she felt like a prisoner in Jefferson and Elnora Calimlim’s home.

The couple was found guilty of harboring an illegal immigrant for financial gain, conspiracy to harbor an illegal immigrant for financial gain, forced labor and attempted forced labor.

I would suggest as punishment, that they work for someone for the same amount of time. Poetic justice of the best sort right.

ATTENTION: The bi-weekly meeting of Republicans for Affrimative Action group will meet at Union Square on Saturday at 3 pm. This guy is going to be there.

The nation’s most prestigious business school has accepted Blake Gottesman, a college drop-out whose whopping resume includes having dated Jenna Bush and supplying the President with breath mints.

Gottleman, who dropped out of Claremont-McKenna College in California after one year, landed a sweet job as Bush’s personal assistant thanks to his long ties to the Bush family.

According to the Harvard Crimson:

Gottesman performs a wide range of duties, from dog-sitting the president’s Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley, to carrying the president’s speeches and giving him the “two-minute warning” before a speech begins.

He need to get on his knees and thank Martin Luther King jr. Every. Night. For real though.

I think I saw John McWhorter on the train yesterday which made me think about the way that he feels about our slum beautiful children. Brown and black children can read, write and are fully capable of meeting any challenge you put in front of them.

However, THEY have to make a conscious choice of WHAT kind of life they wanna lead. They know that this is a world that is indifferent to their existence. In fact, one of the reasons I think I have enjoyed being around young bucks so much recently is because they are so perceptive about humans.

Which is the exact opposite of being around wanna be attorneys who want to argue to see who can out-obnoxious one another. For example, even with all the education and opportunites I have had [and happily took advantage of], at the end of the day, I had to make a choice that I was going to move forward, and be responsible for my life.

I remember after graduating, and I knew that I wanted to publish a book about natural hair. What I did not understand was THAT BOOK publishing is a side hussle. That I needed to work and pay bills but continue to work on my side hussle. What I did not understand then, that I get NOW is that working for your self is a PRIVILAGE, not a right.

At that time I did not see myself working everyday for someone else. I think I just went wonder years on yall. Walk with me now. However if you wanna EAT in NYC, you learn to do jobs that YOU NEVER thought you would do, and you do them sh*ts WITH a smile.

I saw Keeping up with the Steins with Bronx Logic, I loved it, he tolerated it. The movie touched me because it was about class, growing up, forgiveness between a father and a son and familial rituals. I sat there wishing that negroes had something similar to a bar/bat mitzah.

Nagin won. Surprise, surprise. Seriously. With the wealth transfer and land grab that is gonna take place down there, I figured BIG REAL ESTATE would ensure that he was removed.

Nagin won back some of the conservative white voters who supported him four years ago but abandoned him during the primary.

Many had sought new leadership after complaining of the slow rate of rebuilding and Nagin’s tearful plea for the federal government to “get off their (behinds) and do something” in the aftermath of Katrina. His remark on Martin Luther King Day that God intended New Orleans to be a “chocolate” city sparked outrage ? and then an apology from Nagin.

But during the run-off campaign, Nagin actively courted conservative white voters by emphasizing his business background in contrast to Landrieu, a longtime politician and a member of Louisiana‘s equivalent to the Kennedy family. To fulfill his purpose, he too a disguise of white bull. viagra generic uk If levitra professional canada we compare, men are likely to have more sexual problems than women. The most appropriate of the male cialis line prescription impotence remedies is not permanent and only works for some time. Before being familiar with some extremely important battling attributes of kamagra, you should have a look on the short description provided here- The medicinal care of cost levitra Kamagra- Kamagra, the brand relates to Ajanta Pharma. He would have been the first white mayor of New Orleans since his father, Moon, in the 1970s.

“After the Martin Luther King comments and his post-Katrina comments, his political obituary had been written,” Lee said. But Nagin won with “an unusual political shotgun marriage between conservative whites and progressive African-Americans,” he said.

Speaking of Nagin. Corey Booker won in Newark home of corrupt cops and and mad block huggers. These two new black mayors need to be easy and not oversate exactly what they will be able to accomplish. There is a reason why Detroit mayors, Oakland Oakland mayors and LA Mayors have never been able to return their cities to previous
glory.

Their motivation is admirable. But, I will tell you, I had to learn the hard way, watching Mayorga lose to De La Hoya a few weeks ago that Heart w/o fundementals is a recipe for failure.

Newark nor New Orleans has the infrastructure that necessary to sustain a town. Booker is in a better position because is town wasn’t demolished by an act of nature. However, I fear, that in setting their goals too high, that they will not meet them and thus be considered failures. I will keep and eye on them in the up coming months to see how they progress.

You thought the LA police was gully. These fools have ’em beat. New York City Cop was real serious about keeping it all up in the family.
She helped her UNCLE ROB D-BOYS. Hard out here for a cop-pimp hunh?!?!

A former New York City police officer was indicted on charges of helping her uncle rob drug dealers while she was still on the force, the authorities said yesterday. She got involved in the plot, they said, after she borrowed money from her uncle to pay for a class to prepare for a sergeant’s test.

The officer, Kirsix De La Cruz, accepted the loan from her uncle last July, the authorities said. Soon after, he asked her if she could help him find someone to help him rob drug dealers, and she introduced him to Luis German, a drug dealer known as Pedro, they said.

So the New York Times thinks that Italian teenagers in Howard Beach are tolerant [read not racist] because they listen to 50 cent and wear “baggy clothing”. I would have been more interested in hearing what the kids parents had to say about the way their children dressed.

It has been two decades since a gang of whites here chased a black man to his death, and about a year since Nicholas Minucci was accused of fracturing the skull of a black man with a baseball bat. [Just a friendly game of baseball hunh?!?!?] Howard Beach is still a mostly white, mostly Italian neighborhood, with a lingering ? and, people there insist, unfair ? reputation for prejudice.

But it is now also a neighborhood where the mostly white, mostly Italian kids favor the same style and music as their peers over in East New York and New Lots.

There may still be a few people around here “who have a problem,” Mr. Rea allows. “But if they don’t like black people,” he said, “they’re still dressing in the clothes, listening to the music.”

Whether such emulation is heartfelt or superficial is always up for debate, and it is in the hate-crime trial of Mr. Minucci, who admitted to investigators that he called out a too-familiar word beginning with the letter “n” to the man said to be his victim, preceded by the greeting “What up?”[ Gotty I know you gone have something to say about this and I am not trying to fight wichu about it. I like sayin it niggie, niggie, niggie, niggie].

About.com, randomly, has one of the best interviews about Hip Hop that I have seen in hot minute. The interview is with Dreddy Krueger, the cat who did that Think Different Wu Tang Album.

The only Doom record I was anxious to hear was the one that didn’t make the cut [Charlie Brown]. I already heard the rest on Special Herbs.To me, Pete Rock had the best beat on there. But, “R.A.G.U.” was the best song on there, beat-wise.
Song-wise, “Kilo” was one of the best records on there. Ghost is really separating himself from the Wu. You read the tabloids, you’ve seen what’s going on. He’s doing his own thing right now. I don’t think that’s a good move. People are gonna know when they hear how much better Raekwon’s album is than Ghost’s. People have no idea. I’m hearing the songs almost everyday. RZA’s doing the whole album, and Dr. Dre will have 3 joints on there. [ For the record I have ALLWAYS rode for RAE, ALLWAYS. If what DREDDY is saying is right, then this is going to be a watershed year for that image saturated street talk hip hop= B girl happiness]. The sh*t’s going to be incredible. It’s going to be one of those records where n***as is like “Yo, Rae is back!”

Wow, you’ve got a ton of music coming out this year.

Man, we got a whole lot. Inspectah Deck, GZA, and RZA’s projects are going to be the highlights of the year out of the 9 generals. RZA’s about to give GZA a whole album again on some Liquid Swords sh*t, and he’s doing the same with Deck. RZA’s in that zone again, where he’s just concentrating on putting his beats together to try and bring the Wu sound back. That’s why you ain’t seeing him that much. The “W” has bullet holes in it right now, and it’s about to fall. I think when I released my compilation, I held it up a little bit. It gave us a little bit more life, like “OK, these n***as ain’t dead, they still got some creative thoughts and everything.”

How soon should we look forward to the Ghostface and MF Doom record?

That’s coming out this spring. All we’re waiting on is for Def Jam to clear Ghostface. Def Jam still hasn’t cleared Ghost. [Somebody get Bob Simon, head of contracts and releases at Def Jam on the phone so he can do tha dam thyang, so I can have me so good summer fall music.] They kept telling us that we have to wait till Ghost’s album drops. His album has dropped, but they still haven’t signed the papers yet.

Women Don’t Like Music Nerds. Um. No. Tara Henely of XXL thinks so. She says,

But anyway, as it happens, Bol makes an excellent point. It is true that the music blog phenomenon?and a certain level of dialogue on music in general?is pretty much a male thing. I?m not saying females can?t love music in the same detail-oriented, collector, trivia-obsessed sort of way that most male hip-hop heads do. I?m just saying that, by and large, they don?t.

I feel your pain, ONE. And I hate to tell you this?but you all do it to yourselves. Female heads are about as welcome in hip-hop culture as a sober Jehovah?s Witness is at a crunk Christmas party.

Hip Hop on the Green. Thembisa’s hip-hop show at Mills in what, er ’94. All them Black Lily shows, Wetlands shows. Tramps shows. Sista’s allways were presents, accounted for and just doing them. Trust. We are there. Just because the online community is not OVERFLOWING with women yapping about the hop, [Present company excluded of course], does not mean that they do not exist. that jus means that men like to talk more. Well duh!

I feel your pain, ONE. And I hate to tell you this?but you all do it to yourselves. Female heads are about as welcome in hip-hop culture as a sober Jehovah?s Witness is at a crunk Christmas party.

I had the exact opposite experience. I found that being into “THE HOP” as a teenager, dudes would wannna chop it up about the latest source cover, and who was coming on the wake up show, and how they met black moon and Jeru at the GAVIN last February. Granted. Some were tryna smash. But by in large, being into the hop afforded me the opportunity to forge friendships w/ folks based on THAT common intrest. While I do concede that my evidence is anecdotal also, it does infact, fly in the face of the idea of women NOT BEING WELCOMED in the hop. THE Hop is ambivilent about women. It loves us, it sexualizes us, it wants us to be Bonnie, and to be its Ride or Die chick Dear Momma’s us and i. But guess what, American culture does the EXACT SAME THING TO WOMEN. Tell me whenna go.

But anyway, for the most part, girls that are really into hip-hop tend to be isolated, and end up having to seek out dudes to converse with. [This is derisive. B-Girls Stand UP].You all know what happens next. If you are kicking it with a dude, he probably has other things on his mind than having a friendly chat about hip-hop. (Word to When Harry Met Sally.)

When it comes to groups of guys, they typically don?t have any desire whatsoever to have a female present for their hip-hop powwows. I grew up with a brother and our apartment was always full of dudes talking about hip-hop, but most female hip-hop heads don?t have access to that type of environment. A while back I was talking to one of my bro?s friends about this exact dynamic?and he was like, ?Come on, T. No group of guys is ever sitting around, like ?You know what we need? We really need a female friend in our crew to give us another perspective on hip-hop.?? My point exactly. [Fine. He can be dismissive, but its anecdotal at best. There is a place for women in Hip to be both accepted by men, to interact with them, and to maintain our own critcal voice while appreciating the music].
