Everybody Know That Justin Bieber is My Cousin

Duh Based God, we all obviously knew that.

Lil B The Based God for your listening pleasure... or not. Depends. I don't exactly love listening to Lil B for his lyrical content but I do like his music. For my friends who may read this, this is a new development. I feel as if I can just chill and listen to his music and dance and act a fool. It's relaxing to put him on a playlist with Wiz, J. Cole, Joell and other lyric heavy rappers. Because as much as I love being a Colored Scholar, sometimes we need to put the books down and do the Lil B Cooking Dance, "yaknawhaimean"?

Swag! Swag! Swag!

Social Media Week in New York City

Somehow the social (media) butterfly that I am has managed to not notice that this week is Social Media Week in New York. Yes, I am ashamed but to make up for my incompetence, I'll share the schedule with you, whoever you are that may be reading my blog. Check out the schedule by clicking here and if you're feeling extra social media-y, you can tweet this post below so others can be as informed as you. Pass it forward, brethren, pass it forward.

The Only Post I Will Ever Write about Glee

So listen, I've watched one Glee episode up until last night. I don't really have a strong opinion about the show at all. But last night, like myself millions of unsuspecting football aficionados who were too full on chips and salsa to find the remote, watched at least some portion of Glee last night. I, returning from a friends apartment to my own, turn on my television to see if they were still celebrating Green Bay's Super Bowl victory on the field, only to find Glee on. I continued to watch because there was drama but was glad that I watched because there was this:

Watch it now and don't hate because you know that it's ill.

I'm not saying that I'm going to start watching Glee now buuuuuut that was kinda crazy. Well done teeny bopper show of our generation, well done.

The McBain Movie

Have you ever watch the Simpsons watch TV? If they were watching a movie, it was probably a McBain movie. McBain is something like their James Bond with a Lethal Weapon feel, since he's a cop. Someone took the time to put together some McBain clips that form into an actually story line. Those Simpson creators are genius.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

There's a lot more blood than I ever remember from the Simpsons buuuuut I like it.

CyHi Da Prynce - Ring Bellz

CyHi put some Black History in this video from his last mixtape. It's ill.

CYHI DA PRYNCE -- RING BELLZ from Urban News Network on Vimeo.

To a Young, Black Man

[Sometimes I get my write on. Here is something I got on write on about today.]

Everybody wants to talk for a few weeks about black history

Rather they should talk about how our future lacks history

Black history shouldn’t only be celebrated but also demonstrated

Understand the system, break it down and then penetrate it

Take what you’ve learned, yearn to earn more

Than playing every other night on David Stern’s floor

Your turn doesn’t get skipped, this aint no board game

Your time is wasted if you don’t set yourself some goals or aim

For the highest you can reach

Because you may be the biggest fish in the sea but remember that sometimes whales do get beached

I'm not a pastor so you don’t have to listen

I just hope you hear this, clear your mind because you already have the vision

Of what you can do to contribute

To society, knowing that it will forever serve as a tribute

Because the past shouldn't be forgotten

Let it make you stronger; remember we come from a people who use to only pick cotton

But don’t lie to me if you don’t give an f

I just hope you find your own way eventually and that you manage to live it best

Basically, I'm asking you to not just have a one track plan

And allow yourself to be great young, black man

Perf's Top Mixtapes of 2010 (Part 2 of 3)

No need to explain this again. If you need explanation, go to the original post.

The Top 10

#10
Yelawolf - Trunk Muzik

Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Provided by DatPiff.com

Yelawolf had a good year in 2010. He was on Big Boi's "You Ain't no DJ" and of the BET Award Ciphers, the reason I at least watch the show. This mixtape not only set him apart as a great rapper but as not your average Eminem-like (not to say Em is average, cuz no, he's not) white rapper (basically no one is gonna be Asher Rothing him)... though Em did sign him to Shady records. White rappers, man, white rappers.
Check Out: "Good to Go" ft. Bun B

B.o.B - No Genre

Bobby Ray probably had a better year than most people. As he went from extra ATL local to top of the world, performing with other famous people besides T.I. The tape's title speaks for itself. He can rap his ass off, sing you a love song or produce any type of track. He's a real producer; you can tell from the high level of his collabos. You never wonder why he chose to have someone on a song... it just makes sense.
Check Out: "Higher" ft. Playboy Tre, CyHi Da Prynce & Bun B

T.I. - F**k A Mixtape

What harsh words, T.I.P.! B.o.B's boss falls barely before him. Honestly, this mixtape is much more like an album than anything. With great appearances from Lil Wayne, Jeezy and the like. You probably would have heard more about it if T.I. wasn't in jail for most of last year but yeah... that's not how it worked out. You may be bumping to it for a minute.
Check Out: "Yeah" ft. Lil Wayne

#7
Big Sean - Finally Famous 3

There was a 3 month period when I hoped for a new Big Sean song every Friday; Kanye's G.O.O.D. Fridays. Unfortunately Big Sean was not on every song but he showed up on every track he was able to bless. Including the track with the last second J. Cole addition, that Big Sean also ripped... people seem to get too caught up in J. Cole's amazing verse and belittle Big Sean's lessons in murktology (don't look that word up, it's an original). He's slept on but at least Kanye knows that he's sitting on a jackpot.

Wiz Khalifa - Kush & OJ

Datpiff.com had his mixtape at #1 but I couldn't. Wiz will only get better though, you can tell; probably because the people around him are gonna make him start smoking a little bit less. He's great lyrically and has an ill flow. He stayed releasing mixtapes all year which was great but it also confused me to which ones to actually listen to as I found out about him late. I predict a very long career for young Khalifa.
Check Out: "Never Been" (this is the actually video and it's definitely NSFW.. found out the hard way by thiiiiis guuuuy)

The Top 5 will be around shortly. Enjoy these until then!
