There’s an old African proverb that says when an old man dies, a library burns to the ground. Which is true cause old people have a lifetime of knowledge stored away but odds are unless you know the right buttons to push to unlock the hidden knowledge,they’re going to hit you with some inspirational quotes to keep you prospering. There’s nothing wrong with that though, we all need deep and positive quotes in our life but there’s a lot of gems in the knowledge that most old people never really share. While chilling at a wedding with an open bar I got to shoot the breeze with some older liquored up married men and pick their brains for their dating knowledge since they don’t need it anymore.Here’s what they had to say.

1. Don’t be afraid to tell a woman that you like her. Woman need to hear it. Even if you casually or jokingly slip it in there. Just make sure you’re looking her in the eyes when you say it and I guarantee the whole dynamic of the conversation and how she acts will change.

2. Randomly observe any woman for a few minutes and count how many times she checks her phone. Think about that the next time a woman tells you she didn’t see your text or call.

3. If you ask a women out ,YOU PAY. THE END. Don’t be childish and if you paying the bill is that big of a deal then don’t ask anyone out in the first place. You could always offer to cook a meal if you don’t want to spend that much money.

4. If a woman won’t eat with you then she won’t do anything with you . A women is going to eat at least three times a day,seven days a week. If she won’t do it one time with you then you’re wasting your time. Move on.

5. When you ask a woman out, don’t ever give an exact day and time. They might not be available then and it might come off like you got turned down. Just ask her would she like to do something sometime, if she says yes then let her tell you when is a good time on her schedule. Unless it’s an event or something,leave the window open.

6. If you ask a woman out and she asks where or what are you guys going to do before saying yes just make up an excuse to get out of it right then and there. If a woman wants to do something with you she’s not going to ask where or what you two are going to do before cause all that will get figured out when the time comes. When a women asks where or what are we going to do, it’s no longer about you. You aren’t selling yourself anymore, now you’re selling the place you plan on taking her. She’s saying “I don’t like you that much but i’ll go somewhere with you if I really want to go to the place you want to take me.”

7. Don’t take dick pictures, EVER. Don’t be afraid to show your dick to a woman if she wants to see it though. Just make sure no one else is around and you’re good. Lots of good things happen when a women and a dick meet in private

Back before he became Kanye Kardashian and started trying to sell $125 white tees and leather jogging pants all while pretending to hate media attention. Kanye actually did do something for the people instead of just talking about it. He created the G.O.O.D. Friday movement giving us a new song every Friday for about two months or so. Some made the album, some didn’t. On this day three years ago,he dropped Christian Dior Denim Flow. For some strange reason Christian Dior Denim Flow didn’t make the album. Whats crazier is that its a posse cut featuring five other people and it wasn’t on any of their albums either therefore making it the dopest collaboration to not make any of the artists album since DMX and Cam made “Pull It”. This song is a masterpiece from beginning to end starting with the chorus and Kanyes verse just name dropping models and even though that Kid Cudi verse kind of stands out like a black polar bear and is borderline rambling. He did kind of rebound with that “Bitches better have they thoughts before approaching,I done heard it all baby save it for those other niggas” line cause that’s trill shit Everyone else was flowing though, even Ryan Leslie. I ain’t even know he could rap but he kept pace with everybody else and floated after the beat switch alongside south sides very own Lloyd Banks. Pure feel good music, I honestly doubt that Kanye has another collab this dope in him so enjoy this one forever.

Nothing but Black Excellence. Rarely do you see someone remake a song and completely own it. First off I don’t know how old heads was shocked that Luther was gay. I can watch this video and tell, he was just a tad bit too happy.He was having to catch himself,people with nothing to protect don’t catch themselves.That’s neither here nor there though,cause that’s his business. This started out as a tribute performance but ended with people forgetting Dionne Warwick sang it first. Even she was looking at Luther like “I know I let you borrow it but damn! You ain’t have to embarrass me with it” My dog Luther had everything working. Bow tie. Check. Ron Isley too big for your mouth teeth. Check. Slow rock making eye contact with every woman(or guy) in the crowd. Check. Jheri curl shimmering.Check. Straight up floated through this like it was nothing. You don’t see stuff like this nowadays. All these “R&B artist” today are products of studio magic,trying to blur the line between rappers and R&B singers, or doing dance music. Ain’t a singer popping right now that can do something like this. The art of the slow jam is lost and the only people who know how to make one are dead or don’t care. Speaking of slow jams 5:52 for a flash of the sample. Song so great you can take a piece of it and make another great song. Wow. The most amazing thing about this performance is that there’s no sound quality drop off from the recorded versions. That is unheard of, live performances are not supposed to mirror recorded versions of songs…Ever. You have to be VERY gifted vocally to do that. Luther was that dude. It’s a shame he didn’t like women cause he could have walked out of there with any woman in there when he was done. I mean he could’ve just dropped the mic, walked off stage into the crowd,pointed at any chick, and rolled out.

I wouldn’t even know where to start on James Joseph Brown Jr. That’s why this ain’t drop on his birthday(May 3rd). They ain’t call him the hardest working man in show business for nothing. James toured three-hundred days a year and gave a hundred percent every night. He escorted Apollo Creed to deaths door(If you gotta go,go in style).Plus he’s responsible for multiple rap breakbeats. We ain’t got the time to list everything James did so here is his wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Brown I have yet to see anyone match the cape routine yet.

Kriss Kross – Alright

Posted: May 2, 2013 in Appreciation

I was going to do a write up on this song a while back. Not because of anything Kriss Kross did, but because of the original coke don Super Cat coming through crushing the hook and stunting all through the video. I always thought this was their best song even though I give Warm It Up props for them doing the driving backwards thing before Big and Puff did and not getting any credit for it though. With Chris Kelly(the darkskinded one,don’t feel bad I didn’t know which was which off the top of my head either) going back to essence, we gotta give Kriss Kross their respect. They always came off as gimmicky to me cause I just never believed them dudes were just wearing clothes backwards before they became rappers and both of their names were chris and they were best friends. Just seemed too coincidental.(*batman eye squint*) All that aside Jermaine Dup..um..uh..I mean Kriss Kross dropped some heat during their run. Not much to really say about this video beside its just feel good music with the coke don killing the hook and hitting it with the rudeboy bad man footwork. R.I.P. Chris Kelly though, 34 is way too young to die. We gonna keep you alive through Youtube views though.We won’t forget you.

Ahhh, Kimberly Noel Kardashian. She’s everything you want in a girl and don’t want in a girl all rolled up into one. She’s like that girl that you went to high school with that you saw with a different popular guy every few weeks, and before the news of them being official was official, they were broken up. She was back on the market only to be scooped up by another popular guy. You’ve spent years watching this scenario play out but if you ever got a shot, you would jump on it in a heartbeat. Why? Because she’s THAT good looking. She’s a status symbol that you can use to gauge your own popularity. All those dreams of money, clothes, and hoes. Kim Kardashian is the epitome of the hoes part of that equation. Messing with her will change peoples perception of  you. Girls you used to mess with will feel like losers, girls who shot you down will suddenly want to talk to you. They thought they were out of your league only to find out you’re fucking around in a league they could only dream of being in. Dudes will aspire to be you. Dudes who used to hate on you will well…still hate on you but the hate will be so strong  because they know they would punch a toddler to be you for a day. Not a lot of people on earth can make all that happen while having no type of talent whatsoever. That’s how you know she’s special.
