Rap Sheet By Gunplay

(Side note, the song of the day is different than the one in the video above)
I feel like, at least for my readers, there may be a bunch of mixed feelings about Gunplay (the rapper, not the act of shooting things). I could be wrong about this but it wouldn’t surprise me if a decent portion of you guys take one look at him, hear one song and write him off as just some typical thug rapper who’s down with Rick Ross. I hope that’s not the case but it wouldn’t shock me.
Anyway, I’m here to tell you to take a closer listen. First and foremost, this guy can rap. In fact, he can rap his ass off. Not that this is a marker of greatness but he does harken back to an earlier time when a rapper could be both intelligent and ignorant at the same time. While his topics may not exactly be your cup of tea IE:guns, selling drugs, doing drugs (especially coke), he’s one of those cases where the skill and overall entertainment value should outweigh any “issue” you might have with what he’s talking about. The last artist(s) I can think of who got this pass was the Clipse. He’s funny, he’s clever, he’s got tons of personality and he’s one of those rappers who you actually kinda believe when he says crazy shit.
In fact, just this past week, he both got into a filmed scuffle with 50 Cent’s crew

and turned himself in for armed robbery. Yeah, it’s been one of those weeks.
Considering the Armed Robbery thing, I’d imagine there’s a chance that it might be a minute until he drops something new so here’s a new song I just heard this week.
This is actually a fairly toned down Gunplay. I don’t think he even mentions doing coke once in this song…the header video , however, is more or less what he’s about though.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on Gunplay? Here’s a poll…

Cheatin’: What’s your moral compass like?


I recently was talking about a situation with a friend. I’m not ashamed to say this situation was one that taking place on the newest season of the Real World. Okay, I’m a little ashamed to say that but , whatever, it’s too late now.

For those of you who did not see this season (I’m assuming that’s like 98% of the people reading this) let me break it down to you.

Two people in the house hook up. The dude has a “girl” back home that he doesn’t really speak on until after the initial hook up has happened. The girl in the house gets obsessed over the dude and, even after finding out there is someone else, she still pushes ahead in her goal to land this guy.

Now, my case was , in terms of blame, this dude is 100% at fault. I felt that because this girl was informed of a girl back home after they hooked up and , more importantly, she didn’t know that girl personally, it wasn’t really her problem.
My friend , who is a female, felt as though at least some blame should be put upon the shoulders of the “other women” because , even though she didn’t know his girl personally, it’s still not okay to be the other woman knowingly. Not to say that my friend didn’t acknowledge that the dude was mostly to blame, but she felt the girl was getting off easy.

I hope that makes sense to you.

So, here’s my question: Does the “other woman/man” owe anything to the person that is dating the person they’re hooking up with? This is assuming they don’t know that person even on the most acquaintance like level. If that person is a complete stranger, should the “other woman/man” even give a fuck about their feelings?

Now, I felt as though , while there might be karmic retribution (if you believe in that shit), no person is responsible for the feelings of a stranger. Sure, it’s a shitty thing to do and knowingly being the other person is not exactly an awesome way to live your life, but it’s also not your problem. I feel as if the blame falls heavily on the shoulders of the person in the relationship who is cheating. after all, that person is the one who knows all parties involved and that’s also the person who made any of the cheating possible in the first place.

My friend felt that , regardless of not knowing that person, it was still a super shitty thing to do (which I agree with, as i’m not a complete asshole) and , because of that, the other person deserves their fair share of the blame. (I’m sure she will write a much more specific viewpoint in the comments section upon reading this, and that’s fine)

Keep in mind, I’m slightly more sociopathic than my friend. I don’t really have “feelings” and kinda think that everyone is responsible for themselves. My friend is definitely more sympathetic and empathetic than I could ever be. But , my inner arm chair sociologist is curious. I wanna know, what’s your stance? What should ones moral compass be in this situation? I’m doing two polls. One for men and one for women cause I’m interested in how different the two will come out.
So, tell me, who’s to blame in this particular situation…

FOR MEN:

FOR WOMEN:

As an addition, here’s another poll concerning where the blame of cheating should land. This is more obvious to me but, with these polls you never know what crazy shit some of you people out there might think…after all some of you wipe standing up, jerk off dry and think wearing flip flops to bars is okay.

Poll: Men and shorts, what’s a bro to do?

I think it’s safe to say that , when it comes to fashion, men have it pretty easy. Sure, there are those guys out there who go to great lengths to gussy themselves up and look like masculine porcelain dolls but, for most of us, jeans, t-shirts and sneakers do the trick. Ladies, on the other hand, put themselves through hell to look nice. High heels, tight fitting clothing and all sorts of illuminati-based secret under garments that are worn to make everything look how it’s supposed to. However, there is one (sort of) equalizer: Hot weather. During the summer (or if you live in a warm area, year round) men are faced with the unfortunate choice of what to wear as pants. When the temperature starts hitting in the 80′s (or low 60′s if you’re one of “those” white dudes) it becomes shorts weather. That’s fine and dandy but , bro’s, did you know that women hate your shorts? Cause they do.

In general, most men choose comfort over style and it’s totally okay. But this isn’t one of those times. While most girls might get moist for a dude in a nice suit, those same girls aren’t gonna turn down a guy in decent jeans with nice sneakers. However, shorts are vagina dryers. It’s the one time our quest for comfort and simplicity does not work well with the ladies (well, I’m excluding wearing flip flops but if you’re a man wearing flip flops off of a beach, just stop it…seriously…fucking stop it). For instance, it’s hot as fuck in NYC right now. I know that if I go out , at night, wearing shorts to a bar, I’m pretty much giving up on the idea of being attractive to any girl over the age of 16. This is fine as I’m spoken for but it’s more a state of mind of “well…fuck it”. Meanwhile, girls thrive in comfort during the summer. Shorts, chucks, tiny shirts that aren’t tight but barely cover anything. All that shit. The good thing is, we men love that. Walking around the city during the summer, a dude might as well wear blinders on his dick just so he can get anywhere without being constantly side tracked by hot, dressed down and partially naked women. but us dudes? No one is clocking the guy in shorts. I don’t know what it is. Perhaps it dad-ifies all men? are out calves really that gross? I honestly don’t know. Personally, I think it makes all men look like children. Keep in mind, I wear shorts all summer, but I recognize this is not the move for any dude trying to maintain any level of attractiveness towards the opposite sex.
So, in a quest to understand both the guys and girls side of this, I decided to do two polls about. Perhaps, these polls will steer men in the right direction to where we can find a happy meeting spot. A type of shorts that men can feel proud to wear and that women can tolerate enough to let us have sex with them.
So, here are two polls. One for the bro’s and one for the hoes. For the sake of honesty, please refrain from answering the poll that’s not aimed at you. I’m doing my public service here.
Now, before we get into this, let me just clarify exactly what kind of shorts I’m talking about with the help of pictures. Here are all the types of shorts I can think of. I’m sure I’m missing some but, hey, I’m only human. consider this your glossary.
Cargo shorts:

Army shorts:

Dockers shorts:

Dickies/Carhardt shorts:

Basketball shorts:

Swimming trunks:

Jams:

Long pants/shorts:

Umbro’s:

Jean shorts:

Cut off jean shorts:

First off FOR MEN ONLY:

Now, FOR WOMEN ONLY:

The truth shall set us free…

Song of the day 7/20/12


Elimination Chamber by Alchemist feat. Domo Genesis, Earl, Vince staples and Action Bronson

http://www.sharebeast.com/y0j6sj4phf0a

I think I’ll try something a little different this time.
So, here was have a new song. It’s produced by the Alchemist and features a few very popular newer rappers and a few that are kinda whatever (in the eyes of most people). first and foremost, we got Earl. Back from his samoan vacation. Pretty much anything he’s on nowadays is going to be idolized or put under a microscope because of what an impact he made 2 years ago with his solo EP and the lofty expectations we’ve all set for him..
Then we got Action Bronson, who’s been keeping pretty busy. I’m a fan of Bronson and I appreciate the dudes drive to get on all sorts of tracks. He does songs with thugged out dudes, old school veterans, weirdo’s like Riff Raff and pretty much anyone else he happens to be down with. I applaud that mind set and , while it doesn’t always work, it does make for interesting music.

Then we got the slowly improving Domo Genesis and Vince Staples, who I’m pretty clueless about.
So, put them altogether on this bare, light in the drums (which is the style right now, kids) Alchemist track and what do you get?
Personally, I think it’s decent. I don’t think the wheel is being reinvented and I don’t think everyone on this track bought their A material but it’s certainly not bad. Definitely a song that , when it pops up n my Ipod, I will listen to.
So, I’ve been reading some peoples reactions to this song online (which have ranged from people masturbating in public to people claiming that Earl is done and cursing the song like it killed their first born son) and I’m curious, what do you think?
You know what that means. POLL!!!!!

How affectionate are you with you parents?


Alaska and I are taking the week off of Trending Topics (A much needed vacation from that crap) so i figured it I’d do a poll. I pretty much only do these things when the outside worlds opinion on something I’ve always assumed one way , in reality, may be totally different from how I see it. Past topics have included how people wipe their ass, how you jerk off, what type of chocolate is best and what kind of underwear you wear. They were all very informative and fun so I’d recommend you looking into those via this blog’s search engine. Trust, it’ll teach you things (I’m still getting over the insane amount of “Dry guys” out there).
Anyway, the topic this time is the affection levels between a parent and their child. To be exact, how they greet/say goodbye to their kids.
When I was a kid, I was often at a particular friends house when his parents got home from work. They greeted me with a waved “hello!”and proceeded to both kiss him (and his brother) on his mouth. The mom and the dad. Obviously, there was no tongue or anything but what I saw there blew my mind. Perhaps I didn’t grow up in the most affectionate household but a mouth on mouth kiss between kids and parents was just not something I knew existed. Since then, I’ve seen this various times.Not super commonly, but enough to notice it. It never ceases to skeeve me out…and it’s not like it bothers me cause i assume these kids are fucking their parents or anything , it just seems like a subtle line of affection that’s being crossed. That thin line that separates how family, friends and lovers greet each other. It’s one thing to kiss your baby on the lips or even your little kid…but once that child becomes an adult, it always struck me as totally fucking weird. Kinda like when kids call their parents by their first names (instead of some version of “Mom” and “dad”) but with an added layer of uncomfortableness.
So, lemme ask you…am I over reacting? Here’s a poll. it’s anonymous (even to me). I gave you various options. please pick the one that best describes how you say hi/bye to your parents/guardians. Seriously, no reason to lie here…it’s for sociological purposes. Trust me.

You and your underwear


(This ain’t about girls underwear but I’ll be damned if I put up some pic of a dude in a banana hammock)

I’ve been trying to hit the gym a lot lately cause I’ve found myself slipping into a fatty territory I’m not comfortable with. Because of this, I’ve been exposed to the dreaded gym locker room. A place where underwear is optional and swinging dicks are just part of the ambiance. While doing my best to not make eye contact with the many dangling parts in the locker room, I have noticed that an amazing amount of dudes (granted, most are old as dirt) are rocking tighty whitey underwear. This is odd to me cause, well, tighty whities are the worst. They ride up. They constrict your package. They are white, so the get dirty in a really bad way very quickly. Basically, they are the bottom wrung of male underwear.

I wore them back in the day before I was making decisions for myself. My mom would give them to me, and I was just happy to not be wearing diapers. In fact, one of my saddest memories as a child was being given these awesome spider man underoo’s. I put them on and was walking around the house like a tiny bawce. I was about a year past potty training and was really feeling myself in those underroo’s. Sadly, I guess I wasn’t that far past the potty as I shit my underwear at thoroughly as a person can shit themselves, leading to the disposal of said underoo’s. It was pretty devastating.

Once I got a little older, I noticed older people were wearing boxers. This intrigued me. When i finally got my hands on some, I understood why. They were roomy. They were loose. It was like not wearing anything at all…or wearing a bathing suit. I ran with boxers for a long time. At some point, I got sick of the crotches ripping to shreds and getting chaffed all the time. I needed something different. That’s when i discovered the wonders of Boxer briefs. They’re a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. Good space for the package but it still separates the thighs to avoid chaffing. I’ve been rocking those strictly since the mid 90′s and I have no complaints. I’ve also noticed that, by far, girls seem to like them the most…But i’ve been wrong before…While I’m assuming Boxer briefs are obviously the most popular for both men to wear, and women to prefer on their men, you never know. so this is why I make these polls. To find the truth!
This time, I got one for the boys and one for the girls.

First off for the Bro’s

Secondly, for the broads,

Let’s get down to the bottom of this…If anything, I hope the result will steer some of you in the right direction next time you’re up in the underwear section of the mall or whatever…

Poll: Milk Versus Dark Chocolate. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.


Continuing in a long line of questions that need to answered, I bring you the final frontier. Milk Vs. Dark Chocolate.
It’s no secret that many of these polls I have done have been revelations in worlds I didn’t know existed…from dry guys to standing wipers to people who actually enjoy the holidays…I’ve been wrong all over the place. I wouldn’t be shocked if this topic followed suit.
Now, I am firmly on the milk side of this debate. My reasoning? Milk chocolate taste better in every possible way. Pretty simple, really. I often find the Dark chocolate people have this snobbish air about them. Like they’re tasting something I’m not. As if, only a child could enjoy milk chocolate cause dark chocolate is so rich and intellectual. First off, you can all suck my milk chocolate dick. Secondly, as a person who loves food and doesn’t consider myself to have a particularly unadventurous pallet, I can say that dark chocolate is bitter. Sorry, it is. And if I’m eating dessert, I want sweet. That sweet being creamy, is a bonus. However, i’m also not a coffee drinker, so take that with a grain of bitter ass salt.
Milk Chocolate is often said to be “too sweet”. But it’s not like we’re eating it for dinner. it’s dessert. It’s a candy bar. It’s M&M’s. I will admit that dark chocolate is more useful outside of desserts and candy. It can actually be used in actual dinner courses…but this isn’t about it’s usefulness. This is about, if I give you two chocolate bars. One is milk and the other is dark…Which do you choose?

Holiday Poll


The holidays are officially upon us. Turkey themed nonsense is everywhere and you can smell the Christmas crap brewing. If you’re like me, you don’t give a fuck about any of this shit. I’m to the point where, if it wasn’t completely socially unacceptable, I’d tell my unborn kid as soon as possible that Santa is bullshit. He/she could still get the gifts but why lie to my kid?
Anyway, In honor of these exciting holidays (and by request from a phat friend reader for some school project) I figured I’d get your take on the holidays through the magic of a poll.
If these polls have taught me anything, not every is like me. Some of you wipe your asses standing up, after jerking off dry to porn with hairy vaginas. So, I wondered what’s consensus for our feelings about the holidays.

Anyway, enjoy your turkey or whatever it is you’ll end up eating. I’m taking the day off tomorrow to honor dead indians and pilgrim racists. I should hope you all do the same.

What’s the best hair situation for a vagina to have?


I’ve been noticing on twitter this week that there is a #noshavenovember movement going on. While part of this movement is directed at all people and all body parts, I’m seeing it more as a bunch of girls who feel like letting their muff grow out. It’s sorta ladies taking back the night colored patch of hair between their legs. I suppose this is the #occupywallstreet equivalent to pussy shaving.
Now, as a man, this troubles me. I’m not saying girls need to wax their buttholes every other week but some maintenance never hurt anyone. So, I was curious what the consensus was amongst men (who read my blog). How do you like vagina to look?
Ladies, take note…I’m sure you’ve all heard different things from different guys but this is a poll to really give you an idea of the reality of the situation. Now, I dunno what way it’s gonna go (as proven in the last “Dry guy” poll) but I’m pretty sure I know which one won’t be winning…and it pretty much puts a damper on #noshavenovember. Sorry!

Are you a “Dry Guy”?


This could get personal.

So, just as back story, I’ve been watching this show “Workaholics”. It’s fucking hilarious and you all should check it out if you haven’t already. Anyway, a few weeks ago they had an episode where the term “dry guy” was bought up. Here’s a link to THAT. This term refers to a man who masturbates sans lubrication. Just a guy and skin on his hand. The characters alluded to certain types of people who are dry guys (serial killers and Fred Durst were the examples).
Now, I’ve kinda always assumed that jerking off with lubricant was the norm. I’ve never even considered it otherwise. Recently, I was on the Philaflava message boards (one of my favorite palces on the internet) and the topic was bought up by regular poster Employee. He asked the same question I ask above now: “Are you a dry guy?”.
Well, to my surprise, I am seemingly in the minority with my masturbation habits and I feel as I my world has been turned upside down. Basically, I need to know if this “dry guy” thing is really the norm or if the posters on Philaflava’s message board are a bunch of serial killers.
So, answer me, motherfucker! (Don’t fret, it’s a safe and anonymous place)

Oh yeah, and self-PAUSE to this entire entry.
