Problems- J. Cole- This is gonna be on his new album, which still doesnt have a date for release i believe, but its gonna have a singer on the hook and its not gonna be called Problems, but we'll just call it that for now.

Audio Dope II- Curren$y- My favorite song off of Pilot Talk, but shit that whole thing is classic..listen to this in some nice headphones and it'll change your life.

Serve Or Get Served- Freddie Gibbs- Freddie Gibbs has been killin' shit lately for some reason.

Just saying happy 1st birthday to my one and only daughter, Floozy F. Baby.

That time of the week again folks..so Mike, Judah, Rob and myself were all sitting and talking in Mike's pool after a day of being blessed by the herb's essence..countless conversations happened throughout the many hours of sitting in that pool, and somehow the topic of a cow's organs came up, so Rob randomly interrupts and says....

"yo, speaking of cows....we really gotta go to Wendy's." -Rob Alicea

A couple of Brits conducted an experiment to see how many places they could get in/free shit they could get if they just said they were DJing later in the night..never really thought about it, but if i were working somewhere like that, i would probably let someone in if they told me they were the DJ too..pretty damn funny.

My apologies for not posting very much recently..the working world sucks wang, and these little kids are truly kicking my ass..but anyways, here is a little E:60 about the life of Chris Johnson..livin' like a true G..props to Dark Angel for this.

Post Script. I'm pretty sure Usain Bolt would smoke him in a race, but it'd be worth a watch.

Post Post Script. Watch this pretty cool E:60 about batting stances, it wouldnt let me embed the video..sorry bout that.

Post Post Post Script. Here is a pretty cool article about college basketball summer recruiting and the corrupt shit that goes down, if you are into that kinda shizz..thanks to Frozencats.

Pretty damn good week for quotes this week..there were a few good ones that were really in the running, but Professor Dan Vooky tops them all..so, we were all sitting around talking and shit at Mike's house for Judah's 21st birthday, when 3 African American kids that Judah and Mike used to play basketball with walk in the front door..Dan taps Judah on the shoulder and says...

"Yo Judah, your brothers are here..." -Dan Vukcevich

(keep in mind that literally none of Judah's brothers live anywhere close to here), so Judah looks at him and says "what the fuck are you talking about?" Dan then realized that he had just mistaken these three random kids for Judah's brothers and told them they were here in front of the whole party...idiot.

I also have Mercer Block Story Of The Week this week..god, if someone would have taped this, it would be a youtube sensation..but anyways the story goes like this..the other night, Ophelia had a party at her house..everyone got shitfaced, as usual..on the car ride home from there, while in Brandon Farms, Kenny NEEDS to take a piss, so Dan pulls over the car for him..apparently before this, everyone in the car was being an a-hole to Dan, so he then pulled over and said "everyone shut the fuck up..anyone who wants to say shit can fucking walk home."..so of course in Ken's state of mind, walking home sounded like the best option at the time, so he got out of the car..Dan started to drive away and accidentally ran over his foot in the process..Kenny got so pissed that he screamed, punched/shattered Dan's car window, and ran off into the distance of the night..the glass cut Rob, Mike, Didun, and of course Ken's hand..now, as if that wasnt enough, Didun on the short ride back to his house barfed all over the back seat of Dan's car...the luck never runs out.

Also, as Cooper D already said, you gotta go see Inception..its fucking insane..you will be thinking about that shit for hours after you get out of the theaters..or as Brost nicely put it.."i havent been this confused about life since i hit puberty."

Everyone fucking loves this song...personally, not my thing, but here you go for the true Waka Flocka fans.

p.s. sorry! MBQOTW will be up later today, i promise.

Probably the funniest part of the ESPY's last night..Steve Carell parodies Lebron's "Decision".

Part 1:

For some reason i've just been watching a lot of Michael Jordan documentaries lately..this is ESPN's SportsCentury for MJ..this just proves that he is a different breed than everyone else..no one will ever "be like Mike"..he wanted it way more than anyone else, which made him the best player to ever play the game, simple as that..enjoy, bitches.

Part 2:

Part 3:

Part 4:

Part 5:

So, i'm just guessing that everyone is aware of the recent passing of legendary Yankees owner George Steinbrenner..but this may be a story that you have not heard..38 years ago, Ray Negron was a 16 year old boy who was caught up in the street life of the Bronx..one day him and his two cousins decided that they were going to graffiti the side of Yankee Stadium..Steinbrenner saw them doing it and ran up on the three of them, while two of them got away, Negron was caught and put in a holding cell inside the stadium..he was held in there for an hour before Steinbrenner came back and told him that they were short a bat boy for tonight's game, gave him a uniform, and had him in the locker room and on the field by game time..their relationship grew from there..Steinbrenner served as a great father figure to Negron, and most likely saved his live, considering that his cousins both died within the next ten years (one from AIDS, the other from a drug related murder)..after that day, Negron worked for the Yankees as Steinbrenner's special advisor and was his best friend/son up until he passed away on tuesday..he said, with tears in his eyes, "Seeing his compassion for the less privileged let me know that I had a shot as a minority. He gave me life . . . he gave me life."...

R.I.P. to "The Boss".

Below is Wayne's newest letter to the public..he says that he's been writing, and his lyrics are gonna be fuego when he gets out..he also goes through his daily routine, which is pretty cool..i think i'm gonna write him this week, anyone want me to say anything for them?

"Hello world… I’m good. Counting the days and still smiling. Most of those smiles come from hearing my kids’ voices over the phone. The others come from reading fan mail. Let me just say that I have the best fans in the world! The devotion, dedication, support, love, and most of all, prayers are simply the best. I never imagined that I could have such an impact on people’s lives. Because of this, I vow to be a bit more careful of what I say.

So I’ve been writing and let me be the first to tell you that the lyrics that I’m writing are… well there’s no word that I can think of that properly defines them. Amazing would be too typical and perfect would be unfair. I listen to the radio sometimes, emphasis on sometimes, and I hear the new music. I like some. I applaud my Young Money family for what they’re doing. As I’m not surprised. This is what we’re supposed to do. Congrats to Drake and Nicki for all their recent success. Those 2 are going to have me retiring early. I love my team. Much love to Tez and Mack. I know that people are inquisitive of what I do all day, so here goes. I wake up around 11AM. Have some coffee. Call my kids, and my wonderful mother. I then shower up. Read fan mail. Have lunch. Back on the phone. Read a book or write some thoughts down. Have dinner. Phone. Pushups. Then I listen to ESPN on the radio. Read the bible, then sleep. That’s my day.

I’ll end this letter, but never my love. I’m gone. Oh, and how ‘bout dem Lakers!?!

P.S. I thank my fans for appreciating me the way you do.

Tunechi."

This is Kevin Hart's newest stand up..pretty damn funny..definitely give it a watch if you have some time.

Okay, so i guess you are wondering why i would ever put a video of Lipps Inc's Funkytown on my blog, well i will tell you..the other night, we were at Judah's Lawrence house and Brost and myself were scoping the out the female scene..i asked Toast what his opinion was on the looks of this one girl and his views came out like this...

"well Jeff, let me just say this...i'd take her to Funkytown." -Ryan Brost

The Yankees family has lost one of their legendary members today..Bob Sheppard aka "The Voice of Yankee Stadium" passed away at the age of 99 this morning..Sheppard started as a public address announcer for the Yanks in 1951 and called his last game in 2007..if you are a Yankee fan by any means, you still get chills whenever you hear him call someone up to bat..before Sheppard stepped down, Derek Jeter asked that he would record his name being called so that when he walked up to bat, he would still be able to hear it every time..Rest In Peace to a true Yankee great.

So, you all must have heard Dan Gilbert (owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers) comments by now about how Lebron betrayed an entire city, blah, blah, blah..the interesting thing about Dan Gilbert is that he also owns a company called "Fathead", which sells life-size stickers of famous people for you to put on your walls..well, Gilbert, in his state of extreme rage decided to change the price of a Lebron James fathead from the original $99.99 to $17.41, which just happens to be the birth year of none other than, Benedict Arnold..coincidence?...probably not...hilarious?...fuck yes.

In case you didn't already know..Lebron to South Beach.

...plus, this is just a great song.

I'm sure that most of you have seen this by now, because it happened a couple days ago..but on tuesday during the Rangers-Indians game a fan fell from the upper deck to the lower deck while reaching for a foul ball in the 5th inning, landing on the seats/people below him..this video is the players and umpire's reaction to the fall..the game was postponed for 15 minutes, while EMTs got the man into an ambulance..by the player's reactions to seeing this, it must have looked just absolutely awful..last i heard, the guy who fell was able to move all of his limbs, but was still being hospitalized.

In the spirit of the World Cup Finals on sunday (Spain vs. Netherlands 2:30pm ET), i was watching some of the best soccer cellys..there are some damn hilarious ones in there..also, on the bottom is a video of the best goals off of set pieces..enjoy.

(This one should have made that list....and i just love the announcer.)

I'm not always the biggest fan of mash-ups, dont get me wrong, i like them, just not as much as other people..anyways, here is a mash up between Hov and Weezy's Hello Brooklyn and Quincy Jones' Summer In The City..shit is pretty ill.

So, i am back in the confines of my own home with working internet, so its back to the blog..here is just a little trailer for Wale's new project "More About Nothing Mixtape" which is a follow-up to his classic Mixtape About Nothing, which i/everyone loved..the new tape will drop on August 3rd..hoes call me Mr. Neverwearthesamething.

p.s. the first song off it has been released, its called Workin'..enjoy.

Workin'- Wale

I'm deeply sorry that i have not posted in FOREVER..i am currently at the beach and have very very limited internet access, so bare with me for about another week if you could..this week's quote is a first time quote getter..about 7 or 8 guys were sitting in Tommy's basement watching Hot Tub Time Machine (FUCKING HILARIOUS btw) and being blessed by the herb's essence, as Nas would so nicely put it..and i heard a loud buzzing noise to my left, so i look over and i see a house fly caught inside of a spider web, working as hard as he could to get out..so i tap Ben and tell him to look at it, and he blankly stares for close to 15 seconds, and the first thing that he says is...

"Great fucking web." -Ben Chapin

...so of course i lost it..and all of the other guys huddled around to see what the commotion was..so there we are, 8 guys, watching these two spiders attack a poor house fly as if they were gladiators fighting against one another..we were cheering, applauding, booing, everything you can think of..and finally Pat says, "if i were that fly, i would probably want to be saved."..so we took a vote, and all of us (with the exception of Birk) voted that the fly should live..so Tommy got his pocket knife, killed the two spiders and cut the fly out of the web..the fly hit the ground and took a few steps as we all watched in CRAZY anticipation..after about 5 seconds of walking the fly takes off into the air..Tom's basement ERUPTED! High-fives, hugs and celebration like we just won a championship....

Man, the things that amuse us..just another night on The Block though.

Today was the 95th annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is held every year on July 4th..the reining champion Joey Chestnut walked away with the crown once again this year..but, the real story was Takeru Kobayashi, arguably the best eater in the world and 6 time winner of the contest, not competing this year due to some kind of contractual issue with Major League Eating..but the real real story was Kobayashi jumping on stage today to protest the fact that he was not allowed to participate in the event and being arrested and charged for resisting arrest, trespassing and obstructing governmental administration by the NYPD..crazy shit.

Here is the video for Weezy and Gucci's We Be Steady Mobbin'..great song..Wayne and Gucci shot their parts to the video separately..Wayne shot his while Gucci was in jail and vice versa..you can download the song here if you want..i dont know who kills that verse better, Gucci Mane or The Dueg.

p.s. Happy 234th birthday America!
