sigh...

[Intro: Nas (Lauryn Hill singing in the background)]

Life..... I wonder....

Will it take me under.... I don't know

[Verse One: Nas]

Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassing

Imagine going to court with no trial

Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters

No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters

Days are shorter, nights are colder

Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra

The world's hot my son got knocked evidentaly

It's elementary, they want us all gone eventually

Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge

of coke was cooked without the garbage we'd all have the top dollars

Imagine everybody flashing, fashion

Designer clothes, lacing your click up with diamond vogues

Your people holding dough, no parole

No rubbers, go in raw imagine law with no undercovers

Just some thoughts for the mind

I take a glimpse into time

watch the blimp read "The World Is Mine"

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]

If I ruled the world

Imagine that

I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby

Black diamonds and pearls

Could it be, if you could

be mine, we'd both shine

If I ruled the world

Still living for today, in

these last days and times

[Verse Two: Nas]

The way to be, paradise like relaxing black, latino and anglo-saxon

Armani exchange the reins

Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last

Brand new whips to crash then we laugh in the iller path

The Villa house is for the crew, how we do

Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches

So many years of depression make me vision

The better living, type of place to raise kids in

Open they eyes to the lies history's told foul

But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child

Seeing things like I was controlling, click rolling

Tricking six digits on kicks and still holding

Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage

Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish

Political prisoner set free, stress free

No work release purple M3's and jet skis

Feel the wind breeze in West Indies

I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse themes to Willies

It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown

I'd open every cell in Attica send em to Africa

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]

If I ruled the world

Imagine that

I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby

Black diamonds and pearls

Could it be, if you could

be mine, we'd both shine

If I ruled the world

Still living for today, in

these last days and times

And then we'll walk right up to the sun

Hand in hand

We'll walk right up to the sun

We won't land

We'll walk right up to the sun

Hand in hand

We'll walk right up to the sun

We won't land

[Verse Three: Nas]

You'd love to hear the story how the thugs live in worry

Duck down in car seats, heat's mandatory

Running from Jake, gettin chased, hunger for papes

These are the breaks many mistakes go down out of state

Wait, I had to let it marinate we carry weight

Trying to get laced, flip the ace stack the safe

Millionaire plan to keep the gat with the cop camera

Making moves in Atlanta, back and forth scrambler

Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich

Still nobody want a nigga having shit

If I ruled the world and everything in it, sky's the limit

I push a Q-45 Infinit

It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies

Strictly living longevity to the destiny

I thought I'd never see but reality struck

Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck??

[Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas]

If I ruled the world

Imagine that

I'd free all my sons, I love em em baby

Black diamonds and pearls

Could it be, if you could

be mine, we'd both shine

If I ruled the world

Still living for today, in

these last days and times

If I ruled the world, if I ruled, if I ruled

Imagine that

I'd free all my sons, if I ruled, if I ruled

I love em love em baby

Black diamonds and pearls, black diamonds

Could it be, if you could

black diamonds

be mine, we'd both shine

If I ruled the world

Still living for today, in

these last days and times

If I ruled the world, if I ruled

if I ruled, I'd free all my sons

black diamonds, I love em love em baby

Black diamonds and pearls, if I ruled

If I ruled the world

If I ruled the world

I love em love em baby!!

THE ONE AND ONLY

COURTESY OF THE SCORE54

- after the LBJ no look magic pass to A.Jamison for the Weiss-like dunk over D.West:

Sid Sixeiro - "Antawn Jamison left the smell...Tim, we are still a family show?...of his private parts all over Mr.West's back"

- Black Mamba has returned to the hardwoods and his killer ways at the same time, tying the game with under the minute on a three pointer and then winning the game with four ticks left with yet another THREE POINTER!

- OKC are very good, but since we mentioned how good J-Rich is/was/can be, he reminded us with a double-double and the game winning floater with 0.7 seconds left on the clock over the outstretched arm of the player who Sid actually brought up in an old conversation of 'Who Is the Best' in the league right now! Yes, he was talking about KD who scored 36 points (i was off by one!)

I Be High & High

I be high when I split a dutch and fill it up

I be high when I get my money doubled up

I be high when a model wanna let me cut

I be high when I'm signing cus my diamonds blush

I be low when a nigga cant get away

I be low when I cant seem to make a way

I be low when I can't even feed myself

I be low when I realize I'm by myself

But I be high when I'm shopping for expensive clothes

I be high when I get what I couldn't before

I be high in the club while I'm poppin bub

I be high when im cruising sitting on them dubs

But I be low after shows in my dressing room

I be low when i see that I'm a different dude

I be low on the plane looking at the sky

I be low but my highs keep a nigga tied

[Chorus ]

I be high then I be low

I be low then I be high

Its like a battle knife to a gun fight

But I be cool this the story of my life

I be high then I be low

I be low then I be high

Its like a battle knife to a gun fight

No need to worry this the story of my life

I be low when I gotta get ready for work

I be low cus after bills my pockets be hurt

I be low when I can't take a girl out

I be low cus they can't even figure me out

But I be high when the phony chicks show me love

cus in my mind I read them but I dont give a fuck

I be high when a nigga get attention

I be high when your girl catch feelings

Then I be low when i go into that empty space

I be low when I'm looking at a stressed face

I be low cus my brother's facing hard times

And I be low cus my nigga ryan close behind

Then I'm high when I know the places we can go

I be high when I think what the future holds

I be high when she asks for my room number

I be high but my lows keep a nigga humble

*Chorus*

I was high when the label said that I was dope

I was high in my eyes cus i had hope

I was high when I first had the taste of love

I was high when I left the city I was from

And I was low when I had a recent heartbreak

I was low cus I truly thought I had a mate

I was low when I lost her over sillyness

I was low cus she twisted what my words meant

But I was high when I finally had the chance to see

Everything thats pretty aint always good for me

I was high when she first said i liked you

Man I must be too high to even write dude

And these things show you growth

Some niggas show a little but I show you the most

Highs n' lows and succeed fo sho

The only thing left to do is say a toast

CUS

*Chorus*

Sir Charles was jealous of Steve Nash for getting to carry the Olympic torch.

CB34 sets it up and anyone (this case Kenny "The Jet" Smith) will knock it out of the ball park.

Kenny: "yeah i wanna see you r-u-n...with anything"

- Amare to Cavs would be cool, but not much difference for the LBJ tbh.

- Most deserving first time all-star: K.Durant, he basically played his way in it last year when he scored 46p. in the rookie/sophomore game)

Least deserving: Al Horford, "WDF?!" (<- simple comment)

- here come the introductions...false start its just Usher performance with his cheese dancing...the back up dancer are very good so that might make him seem not as good as i heard he was...okay finally he disappears into the ground...FINALLY intros.

The Truth is the biggest poser there is in the NBA in the top echelon of players. And since getting a ring has been getting better at it.

Why didn't CB4 get to start? with this being in his native Dallas and him playing the best basketball this season of any forwards in the league...ahh "fan' voting.

The more time goes on the more it becomes appearent that 'Baby Shaq' the nickname was given to someone a bit to early because Dwight mimics Shaq as much as Kobe does MJ...as coincidence or not but that is what i think.

LBJ on the other hand is special, charismatic, still a kid, has flavor, bets athlete NBA has ever seen and will in our lifetimes, truly one of a kind!

OMG Usher again?!! this time with his hit song.

Western Conference Team,

uhh wtf is Kobe (not playing) wearing? Zach Randolph has come a long way from his youthful days with the Jailblazers. Amare is trully happy to be here, very nice to see. Steve Nash is The Man of The Weekend (Olympics, Skills, ASG).

OMFG more Usher?!! sigh...at least Vic told me the half-time show will be good/sexy.

okay after forty minutes of "stuff" they are going to let them play

Dwight and Tim Duncan take a few seconds to figure out what way each team is going to go.

Irk shoots and scores two jumpers in a row 4-0 West.

KG looks injured or maybe its just the age showing now.

Nice to see Shaq watching the game live, ASG in not ASG without him there.

did Dejuan Blair really do this on Friday in the rookie game, my mind reminds me as i watch Wade do the now such ASG cliche dunk:

Dwight shoot and MAKES a three pointer!

lol as he takes another one right after.

ROOONDOOOOOO!!! about time they let him in.

CB4 (Lincoln HS, Dallas) doing his thing, cool put back slam.

Personally it thought Zach Randolph was going to ride the pine, will keep an eye on his minutes.

(19 minutes)*

***START OF THE 2ND Q****

Crash scores, i shed a tear... NOT, as he air balls the next shot and D-Will jams on the break.

The D-Will Show is on, sweet fast break dish, then alley-oop dunk from Grandpa Bullips.

Who let Al Horford in??? idiot is playing defense!!!

East with the worst 5 on the floor of all time (ASG level) now maybe: D.Lee, Al Horford, G.Wallace, Rose, Wade. If Peirce was on the floor instead of Wade or Rose i might have FF the PVR few minutes ahead.

i am seeing the argument that many people had as to why Kaman should not be an all-star, and i am agreeing with them all now as he is such a stiff and looks awkward on the floor with these other athletes.

LBJ even make his goaltending block looks like a highlight as he tried to block Melo ( - he is on the MVP watch as of now)

***HALF TIME***

i am assuming this is where i get to see the much talked about ShakirASS.

"AHOO" to you too Shakira! 'S.O.S' how fitting. She knows what works for her and does it very well.

What's up with USA and their African-American drummers?...okay, anyways ShariASS is back...brb...

did anyone bust a nut during the half-time show?

Alicia Keys good voice.

Imo, great half-time show, one of the best in a while and definitely ten times better then the Usher jerking ahem dancing at the beginning.

2010 is such an awesome year for sports!

WORLD CUP @ South Africa

WINTER OLYMPICS @Vancouver

FIFA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS @ Turkey

***START OF THE 3RD QUARTER***

how fun is a 3-1 fast break with your wingmen being LBJ and Dwight!

result: sick jam by Dwight from Wade

(the next few plays all come in a row)

LBJ is human: airballs three pointer

LBJ is not human: double pump reverse slam from Wade

LBJ is NOT human: sick reverse putback slam!

PEOPLE, IF YOU LIKE OR LOVE BASKETBALL DO NOT EVER MISS ANY GAME INVOLVING LEBRON JAMES! YOU ARE LUCKY TO SEE THE MOST TALENTED BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!

- on a much different note: Craig Sager just might get fired as his interview are so sloppy and the players want to ignore him (notice the type of generic answers they always give him?) but have to answer his question due to contracts i believe.

- score: 118-106 East ahead.

***START OF THE 4TH QUARTER***

- they just announced the attendance for the game: 108,713

- does Pau Gasol ever jump off the ground when he dunk as a trailer on a breakaway? He makes it look as if he does not, maybe he doesn't...

David Aldridge : Joe, how difficult is it to shoot at these hoops in such a big arena with people walking in the background?

Joe Johnson: Nah, its not, if you can shoot - you can shoot.

- Gabrielle Union is purrty

- Nike did great job with the color-ways of the players wearing their shoes and the way it matched the jerseys. East vs West

- Wade has springs!

- SHIIIITTTT!!! we might have a problem...i think i did not set the recording for long enough...

137-137 with 12.7 seconds to go FUCK MY LIFE...oh and LOL D-Will just fouled Wade, WHY??!!!

TAPE ENDS...

still think my ASG watching experience was better than this one:

h_2_izzo Yesterday 7:31pm

Note to self: do not watch All-Star game at the gym when there are grumpy old ladies around who tell you to change the channel to the Olympics so we can see two grown people, dressed like fairies, spin around on frozen water...

All-Star Saturday

He (Shannon Brown) lost the Slam Dunk Contest

He (Nate Robinson) won it by 0.9%


...over this guy:

...now onto the bright/good things that happened over the Friday/Saturday NBA festivities.

The HORSE contest was a ton of fun with some really cool trick shots but it was all cut short due to time restriction on the television and was turned into a three point contest between the last two (Omri Casspi being the only one out by that point) remaining contestants by the time that had to go into the "rush" mode. Of course K.Durant easily beat R.Rondo despite Rondo's surprisingly very good shooting.

The Skills Competition, which was won by one of the last Olympic torch bearers; just some twenty hours prior, can be summarized in this one photo below:

The Shooting Stars event was a 'yawn' as the team with the better shooters won, simple as that. And no, i will not be posting a photo of Kenny Smith on my blog!

Okay, for those that read this far there is a treat as you get to see the REAL Slam Dunk Contest that happened over the weekend at Dallas but was not televised. No, i am not talking about the D-League one, although that was still better then the NBA one even if only based on the final dunk. Anyways here it is:

P.S. i know i did not talk about the Celebrity Game, i just wanted to forget why i wasted that one hour of my life watching it...


MVP!!! MVP!! MVP! MVP? MVP?? MVP??? mvp...

Relapse by Eminem

just got around to getting his latest album.
used to listen to all his stuff back when i was younger and angrier.
this skit rules for few reasons:

G.O.A.T

D'Angelo Barksdale: Yo, what was that?
Wallace: Hm?
D'Angelo Barksdale: Castle can't move like that. Yo, castle move up and down and sideways like.
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: Nah, we ain't playing that.
Wallace: Yeah, look at the board. We playing checkers.
D'Angelo Barksdale: Checkers?
Wallace: Yeah, checkers.
D'Angelo Barksdale: Yo, why you playing checkers on a chess set?
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: Yo, why you give a shit?
D'Angelo Barksdale: Now look, check it, it's simple, it's simple. See this? This the kingpin, a'ight? And he the man. You get the other dude's king, you got the game. But he trying to get your king too, so you gotta protect it. Now, the king, he move one space any direction he damn choose, 'cause he's the king. Like this, this, this, a'ight? But he ain't got no hustle. But the rest of these motherfuckers on the team, they got his back. And they run so deep, he really ain't gotta do shit.
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: Like your uncle.
D'Angelo Barksdale: Yeah, like my uncle. You see this? This the queen. She smart, she fast. She move any way she want, as far as she want. And she is the go-get-shit-done piece.
Wallace: Remind me of Stringer.
D'Angelo Barksdale: And this over here is the castle. Like the stash. It can move like this, and like this.
Wallace: Dog, stash don't move, man.
D'Angelo Barksdale: C'mon, yo, think. How many time we move the stash house this week? Right? And every time we move the stash, we gotta move a little muscle with it, right? To protect it.
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: True, true, you right. All right, what about them little baldheaded bitches right there?
D'Angelo Barksdale: These right here, these are the pawns. They like the soldiers. They move like this, one space forward only. Except when they fight, then it's like this. And they like the front lines, they be out in the field.
Wallace: So how do you get to be the king?
D'Angelo Barksdale: It ain't like that. See, the king stay the king, a'ight? Everything stay who he is. Except for the pawns. Now, if the pawn make it all the way down to the other dude's side, he get to be queen. And like I said, the queen ain't no bitch. She got all the moves.
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: A'ight, so if I make it to the other end, I win.
D'Angelo Barksdale: If you catch the other dude's king and trap it, then you win.
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: A'ight, but if I make it to the end, I'm top dog.
D'Angelo Barksdale: Nah, yo, it ain't like that. Look, the pawns, man, in the game, they get capped quick. They be out the game early.
Preston 'Bodie' Broadus: Unless they some smart-ass pawns.





Delonda Brice: What you mean, Kenard took the stash? And he still walking around?
Namond Brice: I'm gonna talk to him, Ma. Make sure this never happen again.
Delonda Brice: Look at me, boy. Kenard got to feel some pain for what he did. He got to.
Namond Brice: I don't --
Delonda Brice: You don't what, motherfucker? This how you pay me back for all the love I showed? Shit, I been kept you in Nikes since you were in diapers




Dep. Comm. for Operations William A. Rawls: If they work for me, they need my OK. Good news is I got no problem with anyone on your list. Except McNulty. No McNulty. Nothing that even resembles the son-of-a-bitch.
Lt. Cedric Daniels: That bad, huh?
Dep. Comm. for Operations William A. Rawls: He quits or he drowns. That's the only two things getting him off the fucking boat so help me God.
