The Lineup: November ‘10
What I can’t live without: Nicki Minaj. If you woke up needing some hyperbole in your life, you’re about to get a healthy dose. Nicki’s Pink Friday is the most important female Hip-Hop project of all-time. Never in the history of rap music has the drought for female talent been this low. Women in Hip-Hop have become less than an afterthought and with the weight of females on her back, Nicki hit a homerun. You know about the wigs and the funny voices but the theme of her album might surprise you: Inspiration. She put together a complete project without having to talk about her p***y. I’m proud of her and suggest you go cop that.

What’s the opposite of LOL?: Charlie Murphy had to deal with that at a show at Grambling University. I think he should stick to sketch comedy.
Did you see…: Oprah’s show where she invited Phil Donahue, Geraldo, Ricki Lake and Montell Williams on to talk about their history or as I like to call it, Michael Corleone handling the family business all at once. Seriously, is there a more gangster way to remind your former competition that you destroyed them? I. Love. Oprah.
Probably saw this coming: Undercovers got canceled. If the writing was as good as the eye candy, we could have been looking at the next classic! lol
Unexpected Dopeness: The Buried Life. It seems that MTV is actually trying to make quality television. On the surface it seems like 4 guys just acting silly but when you combine it with heartfelt stories about accomplishing goals it becomes a unique watching experience.
(Related: Luther - Stringer Bell got a new TV show... and he's a cop. Plus you get to hear his natural British accent.)

No longer looking so smart: Me. Just a few months after writing about how Michael Vick is fool’s gold, he goes out and changes his entire game and becomes a top MVP candidate and has the Eagles actually thinking Super Bowl. I guess the hot chick can learn to cook (smh) – I don’t mind being wrong this time though, I’m happy for him.
You should have Netflix’d: Confidence – a poor man’s Ocean’s Eleven but with just enough originality to give it its own flavor. You’ll love it.
(Related: Get Him to the Greek. Simple. Funny. Diddy steals every scene that he’s in. A great movie to watch when you need a laugh.)
Had to make room on my iPod for: J. Cole. Cole released the mixtape Friday Night Lights – an incredible project with enough depth and complexity to have you hitting the rewind button for months.
(Related: Kanye West’s “Fantasy” – by now you don’t need my blog to tell you about this album)
Humble reminder: As much as we love to complain about our country, we truly have it lucky. North Korea and South Korea are attacking each other again. With talks of nuclear weapons being thrown about in headlines, you never know what anyone is capable of. Be thankful you don’t live on that border.
Can’t wait for: Christmas. C’mon son, should I even have to elaborate?
I enjoyed this post immensely. That's all.
