[Part 1 was posted back in September. You can find it by selecting 'September' on the side ----> ]
3 steps out the door and the stiff chill from the winter morning made me glad I opted for the under armour shirt and white hoody. I got in the car, started it up, pause..."shit, my ipods in the house". Never fails, I always forget something. Before stepping out of the car and back into the frigid air, I set the heat to high and pulled my wallet out of my pocket and stashed it in the middle console, I can't afford to lose track of it today. I detached my house key from the rest of the ring (thanks for the gift mom) and back outside I go.
Seconds later I'm opening the front door and heading back up the steps. In reaching for my ipod sitting on the coffee table, I hear footsteps upstairs, and then..."Are you coming back to lay with me?" I hate questions like this, she knows I want to, but I can't, before I can finish my reply of "No baby I can't" she promptly interrupts me and says "I know. You've got plans that you can't tell me about, yet you came back in the house so obviously...you forgot something. Your ipod is on the table". Wow...she definitely knows me and my tendencies. "I got it thanks" is my only reply and before heading back down the steps and out into the I tell her "I love her", then write it on a note saying the same, stick it to her favorite coffee cup, and back out the door I go. Glancing at my watch, 8:25, still running late. Great!
In the car now and pulling out the driveway, my mental checklist of things I need to have has been checked twice and a third for good measure, we're good. 10 minutes later I pass the car wash, "ehh I got time" so I turn into the parking lot. 7 minutes later my car emerges from the wash, and while the attendees are taking care of the the wheels and the windows, I select a few new air fresheners and pay. At that point, the phone rings, "hello? Yea man I'm on the way, running a little behind but thats nothing new. ETA 35 minutes, we're still good," I get in my car and hangup. After re-adjusting the seat and selecting something from the recently downloaded Ipod playlist I'm out of the parking lot and en route.
15 minutes into the ride I realize that the 'last' pepsi I had, is still on the counter, so much for having everything. 5 minutes later my once calm, phone is now buzzing from the multiple texts I'm receiving from the Bball team. Apparently PVC's been talking some sh*t, we'll handle that when come Wednesday, I can't let that get to me today. Still I reply, "talk is cheap, lets see whats happens Wednesday" while allowing my knee to hold the course on the interstate. Last 8 miles and of course, traffic. Great. Text message sent "Traffic on 495, he there yet?". No, is the reply seconds later. Cool.
Pulling into the neighborhood at 945am I notice the movers have came and taken full control of the driveway. As I park, the now former landlord pulls up with his brother. Greetings are exchanged and now we're heading in the house, he appears to be holding the manila envelope as if its something of importance, good sign. In walking in the roommates are met, some conversation is had and a tour of the house ensues. 15 minutes later we're back down in the kitchen laughing about the last time a worker decided to pop in for some yard maintenance while the pups were out back. "So whats every ones plan now" he ask, 1 roommate explains how he is heading to LA for work, the other states that 'some things with the new house need to be taken care of' and I say "I'm working on something big, kinda nervous". Additional pleasantries are exchanged and the manila envelope is now opened revealing the coveted security deposit, in full. 'Congrats guys and thanks for being great tenants'. Hand shakes and high fives are passed around and outside we head. Checking the clock its now 10am. They're not open for another hour, "yall trying to get something to eat?".
IHOP is the agreed upon destination and a short car ride later, we're parking and walking in, "table for 5" My boy's fiance and another friend has now joined us. Before the waitress can offer us drinks we're all ordering exactly what we want. There's something of a "rushed" sense in the air. I think its just cause we're hungry. As the waitress leaves with the laundry list of ordered items, the conversation begins with "ok, man so are you excited?". 'Of course' I reply 'a few things to pick up and then the plan goes into action'. My phone buzzes, my sleeping beauty is up and 'meeting up with the girls,' "perfect" is my reply, both through text and verbally. My roommates fiance is now smiling bright, she explains her excitement for the upcoming activities of the day. Food arrives, we eat. I'm getting excited.
11:30am and we're walking out, full and giddy. We say our goodbyes to one, he needs to go pack his bags for Canada, and the remaining agree to pile into 1 car. In leaving the parking lot Bob calls, dude is funny as hell, we talk to him all the way to DC. 12pm and we're parking now. Looking at my watch, I estimate an occurrence that will delay me, so I text my beauty. "Hey baby, hope your having fun with the girls, I got a little delayed, gonna need to push the start of our night to 5. Does that work for you? xo -Me". I send the text but it doesn't go through, I wait until we clear the parking deck as we're now on foot. Minutes later comes your reply, "HI, we're having fun, that's fine, it has to be since you won't tell me what we're doing :p see you at 5. xo -me". At that point I send another text, this one however is to one of the girls my beauty is with. "Hey, I just pushed an hour, got delayed, going to call and add another hour to the package, take care of my girl, thanks again". The friends and I are now rounding the corner, pausing to peer in the window of the dealership, I say, "hold on, let me make this phone call", they go in. Minutes later I'm opening the store doors, the salesman smiling anxiously smiling, yet waiting patiently, while my friends meander about the showroom. 'We've been waiting on you sir' she says, "great, lets get down to it, before I chicken out". Everyone laughs. Its 12:15 and the reply from her friend chimes, "no problem, another hour is perfect, she's good, you do what you need to do, we got this". I return to what I was doing and 15 minutes of finalized documentation later, and I'm a new owner. Wheww....time for a cut.

BET Hip Hop Awards
[WTF! I wrote this the night of the Hip Hop Awards and it didn't post. Shit]
In my efforts to get my mind off some slightly more pressing shit. I decided to attend to 2011 B.E.T Hip Hop awards and blog in "real time". Unfortunately, since I'm still dealing with an ATM card issue, I was unable to book tickets for both the flight and the show. So...I caught it on TV. Its kinda like "real time", I didn't write and post as it went but I compiled and posted at the end. And after reviewing, revising and practically re-writting the whole damn thing (thanks to the Blogger app screwing up) looking at the body of work, its, well its a bit different. As you can tell from the first sentence, that the whole "content warning" advisory that pops up before reading my posts is sorta needed. The "flow" of this particular blog is a bit different than the rest. Just saying...
[Mom, if your reading, stop...you won't like the words I use...just saying, don't say I didn't warn you]
-2011 B.E.T Hip Hop Awards-
To jump off. the 2011 B.E.T Awards, we have a performance by Young Jeezy... F.A.M.E. Songs tight, go download it on Itunes. No problems with the show but damn Jeezy, the skinny jeans...really? Come on man, dont buy into the demograpgic, keep it hood. Just saying!
WELCOME BACK TI. Looking forward to the new album. You said it, "another 6 year spent and I aint't going back in"...we gon hold you to that. Tough outfit too, I see that time locked up didnt affect your fashion sense. Yall go get that Akoo clothing!
Blogging abt the Hip Hop awards is easy....1 commercial every other performance...looking forward to the Cypha's. I'm sure they'll be better than last years...question is...how much. Gonna try to keep a certain process while this goes, but we'll see, yall might be on your own.
Cypher 1, BOB murdered it!. Wasn't sure abt Tech 9, but he came thru. Kendrick Lamar is gonna be decent and who the hell is Machine Gun Kelly.? He signed to BadBoy? Ok Diddy, what are you doing here? Just saying.
"Taylor Gang performance by Wiz Khalifa. Hmm ok, Wiz' round house kick to start up the performance...hmm..well... thats Wiz! I guess thats why that shit looked funny as hell. Dude is skinnier than me. But! He bagged Amber Rose, so obviously he's doin something right. I'd be acting like Bruce Leroy around the house all damn day. I'm about to start rockin some khaki cut off shorts, long socks and Chucks too. 1 song tho Wiz, what the fuck? "TaylorGang" isn't even the best song on the Rolling Papers LP, in my opinion, its the weakest track. See you should've strutted Amber out there and hit that "Roll up" joint. Or even "Top Floor" or "Star of the show". Scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being better than 1, maybe a 2. Just saying...
Looking forward to the Cypha with Ludacris and Busta...after the commercial.
Cypher 2: Reek da villian, "blow so much loud i need a hearing aid for my lungz"...what?...bring on Luda and Busta or....2 Chainz, "street proved, hood tested"...decent flow, hard not to hurt this beat. But umm, bring on Luda and....oh shit its BUSTA....'yack yack yack, cause i'm mercilous on they slick ass'...'but shusshh lil homey, shut the f*** up' Get em Busta, cant wait to get the non editted version. 'Ringinglin Brothers!!!' HA SICK! Busta's delivery is absurd, he's been kill em for years! Since leaders of the new school! Uh oh here come Luda...slowing it down for em!! 'Call me mega cause I'm head of the decepticons'...'kill ya self if u aint a damn luda fan!!. Ludacris didnt do much on that but he still carried the end.
Best colabo award..hmmm i'ma say...Drake and them for "I'm on one"? Nope I was wrong. Breezy and Busta, thats 2 for "Look at me now"..interesting.
Mike Epps is trippin! So far Kevin Hart holds the crown for best Host. Just saying.
And now, the "I'ma a Boss" performance by MMG, but for those who don't know thats Wale, Meek Mill, and Rick Ross amongst others. Is that El Debarge?? Lol No really? Props to Wale, he's coming up. Heard a few new tracks, shits tight. Meek Mill kinda sounds like Ace Hood rght? [Side note, why in the hell has Tyrese been shown on camera like 7 times now. Weird part is, every time, he's wearing less? What the f*ck?] Rick Ross the Boss!!...uhhh, ok, we need someone to set a new fashion trend. Nothing skinny about them jeans Ricky. I know they probably cost more than my car but damn! What ever happened to wearing baggy jeans? [Tyrese citing number 8, next time he'll prolly be holding a coke bottle and singin the song] I'll give MMG a 4 on that performance.
COMMERCIAL (and therfore a beverage)
Cypher 3: Oh shit the Lady of Rage. she turned in the afro puffs for an afro! They should have an all female cypha Dr Brat, MC Lyte, Nicky Minaj, Lil Kim, and Foxxy!...what is that Blind Fury 106 and Parks Freestyle Friday Tourney winner? Dude can flow! His best weapon is his blindness, and he can go on ANY BEAT... 'I'm aj with the style so i go free' .WHAT!..'i'm on tv more than the biggie movie' LOL not so much but I get the point, get em Fury! YAGGA...Who the hell is Dom Kenndy? Yea I guess you are "doin it wit 'no label'"...nexttt. Oh Shit, Mad Skillz from Va, dont sleep, he always delivers. Or have you not heard the "years in review" he puts together at the end of every year. No? Man you need to follow what Khalid says and LISTENNN!
Mike Epps, changed clothes, tried a joke, and now..
Oh shit DMX and Swizz Beats, taking back to the Ruff Ryder days! Lol Can't hate though, I was listenin to some X just last week. That reminds me, I need to go download all the DMX cd's from itunes (RIP Steve Jobs). I base the quality of a performances on crowd participation...so far X is the one who has the whole crowd up. Every bodies heads bobbin. GET EM X!! Welcome home X. Now could u please, stay home. Lol Solid 5 on that one.
You mean to tell me with the 1st 2 weeks of BBall season cancelled, there is 1 damn NBA player in the building? I suppose thats a good thing, but please tell me what the hell is Amare Stoudamire doin? MTV played him with that Short ass microphone...Just sayin!
Peoples champ award!...Hmmm, lets follow the trend and go with Breezy, Busta, and Wezy, again.....damn, he got it again! Talk about a career rejuvinated. 1st 3 awards belong to his song. I guess he is sayin..."Look at me now"...bitches!...Just sayin!
Cypher 4...looks like the MMG family, Wale, ehh ok. Lets see what Pill got.......ok nothing much. Lets see what Meek...wait who is Steeliy? Rick Ross Jr? Meek mill, goes hard. Def #2 in MMG. Rick Ross got that group locked up tho. Altho Meek Mill did handle his
.
Too Short, kinda looks like a skinnier, healthier "Mr. Brown". He should look into that, and go ahead and be in the next Madea movie. Right? Wow, ok he got real with it in mentioning Troy Davis. Wait, what are you doing Too Short? Oh, introducing Lupe? Makes sense. I guess.
I'm a fan of the Lupe LP. Like my man Corey(Dwigh Mitchell) say,"that shit go hard". Ok..."Words I never said", lets see what you got Lupe. Ahh, he went rockstar status with the mic and band. Nice touch for this song. Makin a statement with the foreign lady in the Burqa(?). Trying to keep up with the words on the screen and writing is getting PAC...I mean difficult. Lupe's rocking the stage, just not the crowd. Thats the shitty part about the Hip Hop awards, not everyone gets into everyone elses show. Plus the small venue, they should have fans in the front row like they use to. Oh shit! That was Erykah Badu! She always makin statements. 3 but Badu gets you .5. Total 3.5
COMMERCIAL
Cypher 5...Nitty Scott, she's cute. Kinda reminds me of 1 of the "twins"...she cute too. Lecrae, good delivery, watch out for this kid...Sorprano...ok what? Look I respect the foreign flow, but I'm no speed reader, I'm going to act like I don't have dvr and not rewind to read what he said. Say what! Is that Estelle....YO estelle got flow!!
(I'm interested see what everyone in facebook nation is saying about the awards....)
Lets see, just came back from commercial, just did the cypha, so now its a performance by Big Sean. Haven't heard "Do it" before but I didn't buy his whole cd. The bass is coming thru my tv. Nice to see Big Sean elected to rock the stage on the solo tip and without a lot of lights flashing around. Did he just mention Quagmire? "Giggidy"....wonder if he's gonna bring out Kanye for "Marvin Gaye and Chardon..." OHHHH..no! See I thought I was Kanye. Yea right. Unless thats Taylor Swift or JayZ, he aint gonna be up there if the money aint right. Lol. Ha thats funny, did yall hear the crowd get hype for a second, and then they realized...'oh thats not Kanye, thats Rosco Dash" lol. 4
Nelly makes a point, without 'I need love' there would be no 'How to love'...yall youngsters dont know abt that thoough! Does LL look like he been crying during the interview? Eyes all puffy and shit. Looking like a big Softy. LOL. Real talk though
Nelly makes a point, without 'I need love' there would be no 'How to love'...yall youngsters dont know abt that thoough! Why does LL look like he been crying during the interview? Eyes all puffy, looking like a big Softy, lol. Nah but for real, I'm abt to download the LL Cool J collection. "I'M BAD!!!!" Real talk though, the 1st 6 albums, definitely better than ya last 6. Just saying. You def deserve the 'I am hip hop' award. You def are hip hop!
Whoa, I see Rihanna went with a Lady Gaga inspired outfit....
Listen to LL dropping knowledge, but he's not fooling anyone, he know damn well he wrote that last week! Stop lyng...sayin he 'wrote that on the way over?" From where? Cali? Oh so you wrote it on the flight? Not in the limo. Who you kidding? Lol You just forgot the speech and had someone send it to your blackberry. lol Good shit though.
TIme for a COMMERCIAL...Did I hear something about a, "Shady 2.0 cypher"??? UH OHH. If Eminem spits, its over. Chris Breezy is in a cypher too, watch out, he actually can go a bit. Him and Trey Songz. But don hold me to that, lets see how this goes...bathroom break/beer run!
Cypher 6...Ace Hood, Chris Breezy, Tyga and K Mccall...let see.. Ace Hood can actually flow, someone please but him on a different beat and without DJ Khalid though....K Mac, got flow. 'Blew myslef up...a rap"...Tyga can barely open his eyes, but his flow was crazy!!!! Breezy, "va country grammer" get him Breezy!! You definitely held your own. VA STANDUP!
Best club banger award...I would say "6 foot 7" by Lil Wayne...lets see...damn Loriann Gibson has LEGS!!! Wow...Waka Flakka pulls in the "first award not belonging to Chris Brown"..also known as the 'club banger award' also known as the 'bring everyone and ya mama on stage to accept the award. Serioulsy, all of MMG, Rosco Dash and his entourage accepted 1 little ass trophy. And now I swear I just heard Rosco Dash just quote 50's P.I.M.P quote about "slow progress is a slow process?...maybe not, he was talkin fast.
COMMERCIAL
Cypher 6...Shady 2.0.different beat, SICK!..yela wolf, slaughterhouse and eminem...Yela wolf got flow. [Shouts to CGU for sayin he had flow]....Joe Budden of Slaughterhouse, good delivery . "I took the whine outta amy house!"...Crooked I...destroyed the beat! Joell Ortiz...delivered the funniest line of the night..."Booty Clap" lol. Royca da 59 just killed Rihanna. Whoaaaaaaaaaa!!! " Eminem is funny as shit!!! Dude put the mic down and everything. [RIP to PROOF] No one can fuck with Em! Sorry for the cursing, but damn!!!! THATS THE BEST CYPHER ALL NIGHT!!!!!!
Mike Epps with another outfit, another corny joke and now...Heavy D?
That right the overweight lover in the house, although overweight lover ain't soo big no more. But no lie, I fuck with Heavy D's new music. Kinda like reggae (shut up Sleepy) but the lyrical content is tight. I wonder if he's gonna do the "diddly diddly diddly diddly D" thing...I'm abt to download his old stuff too. UHH! There it is..."didddldylddlyldldddldiiddly deee" lol...wait a minute, what the fu*k...Tyrese...again? What else is this dude promoting. They about to announce a tour or something?
Can't wait to see whats next....wait, what? Its over? What the fuck? 7 awards and Chris Brown won 3 of them? 1 went to LL. 1 to Wakka Flakka. No wait, thats 5 awards! To quote Mr. Mike Wise... "Are u serious?" All in all. It was a decent show, most awards ceremonies give out more than 5 awards. Hands down, the cyphers's were insane. The entire Shady 2.0 cypher was the best, then Breezy, Skillz, Ross, Luda, Busta, Meek Mill, Tyga, Estelle, Blind Fury, Nitty Scott, and then the rest of them. Best performance definitely goes to DMX. I know the younger demographic was wondering "who the f*ck is Heavy D?" But those old enough to know were most likely moving in there seats and claiming "I can do the 'Diddly diddly diddly diddly diddly dee' thing"
Ahh well, that was fun.
Time for Sons of Anarchy....

Wow...Waka Flakka pulls in the "first award not belonging to Chris Brown"..also known as the 'club banger award' also known as the 'bring everyone and ya mama on stage to accept the award. Serioulsy, all of MMG, Rosco Dash and his entourage accepted 1 little ass trophy. And now I swear I just heard Rosco Dash just quote 50's P.I.M.P quote about "slow progress is a slow process?...maybe not, he was talkin fast.
COMMERCIAL
Cypher 6...Shady 2.0.different beat, SICK!..yela wolf, slaughterhouse and eminem...Yela wolf got flow. [Shouts to CGU for sayin he had flow]....Joe Budden of Slaughterhouse, good delivery . "I took the whine outta amy house!"...Crooked I...destroyed the beat! Joell Ortiz...delivered the funniest line of the night..."Booty Clap" lol. Royca da 59 just killed Rihanna. Whoaaaaaaaaaa!!! " Eminem is funny as shit!!! Dude put the mic down and everything. [RIP to PROOF] No one can fuck with Em! Sorry for the cursing, but damn!!!! THATS THE BEST CYPHER ALL NIGHT!!!!!!
Mike Epps with another outfit, another corny joke and now...Heavy D?
That right the overweight lover in the house, although overweight lover ain't soo big no more. But no lie, I fuck with Heavy D's new music. Kinda like reggae (shut up Sleepy) but the lyrical content is tight. I wonder if he's gonna do the "diddly diddly diddly diddly D" thing...I'm abt to download his old stuff too. UHH! There it is..."didddldylddlyldldddldiiddly deee" lol...wait a minute, what the fu*k...Tyrese...again? What else is this dude promoting. They about to announce a tour or something?
Can't wait to see whats next....wait, what? Its over? What the fuck? 7 awards and Chris Brown won 3 of them? 1 went to LL. 1 to Wakka Flakka. No wait, thats 5 awards! To quote Mr. Mike Wise... "Are u serious?" All in all. It was a decent show, most awards ceremonies give out more than 5 awards. Hands down, the cyphers's were insane. The entire Shady 2.0 cypher was the best, then Breezy, Skillz, Ross, Luda, Busta, Meek Mill, Tyga, Estelle, Blind Fury, Nitty Scott, and then the rest of them. Best performance definitely goes to DMX. I know the younger demographic was wondering "who the f*ck is Heavy D?" But those old enough to know were most likely moving in there seats and claiming "I can do the 'Diddly diddly diddly diddly diddly dee' thing"
Ahh well, that was fun.
Time for Sons of Anarchy....
