sip on this

I’m not a big Adidas fan, but i must admit that these are do-able!

“The Adidas Superstar is a staple shoe of the 20th century, so it’s nice to see the classic shoe revamped to  our modern taste. The Adidas Canvas Superstar comes in a navy/red/white colorway, with a canvas upper and leather  shell toe instead of the typical rubber one. The shoe is offset by a white tre-foil and midsole. The shoes come with regular navy laces and these colorful white laces pictured here. On the inner lining, the Adidas logo is printed along with the text “loi fanles” printed over it in red. This shoe is part of Adidas’s Spring 09 releases which means it’ll be out soon.” Via: Footlocker

“The guy, number 24…….”  “I think Jesus would have a hard time covering him.”

George Karl has some the weirdest post game interviews.

Looks like LBJ is going fishing wit the rest of his Cavs homies!!! I’m not even gonna watch the finals now. I wonder if they’re gonna keep the Lebron and Kobe puppet commercials coming?? This commercials are super funny. The crazy thing about this is that Charles Barkley had the Magic beating the Cavs all along. I thought he was crazy (even though he had a good point about Orlando having the better match ups). 

I refuse to congratulate the Magic for going to the NBA finals, but i don’t want to see Kobe and Lakers win so i guess i have no choice but to want Orlando to win now. With that said, i’m still not watching the finals. I rather just catch the highlights on ESPN First Take or Mike and Mike in the Morning. 

The best record in the NBA, plus the coach of the year, plus the MVP of the league, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are going Big Mouth Bass fishing!!

Lebron, keep your head up. 

Has anybody else noticed that ever since Busta Rhymes cut his dreads that he has been putting on weight? I just saw him on Chelsea Lately and that guy has a huge beer belly that was not there before. No disrespect to all my beer belly people out there because i have one too, but I’m just calling it like i see it.

How did this happen? Sorry JD but i had to steal this one because i don’t see how this happened. Jamal Anderson was an NFL running back for the Atlanta Falcons for those that don’t know. He helped the Falcons to an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIII. Jermaine Dupri makes beats, produces songs, DJ’s parties, and basically nothing to keep him in shape. With all that said, somehow he beat Jamal Anderson in a foot race. Either JD is faster and a little more athletic then most would think or Jamal Anderson hasn’t worked out since he retired. What do you think?

Sip On This! I don’t know about you all, but I’m sick and tired of the same routine in every job interview. It’s always the same thing over and over. The only difference is that the questions that they ask you off of their little sheet that they already had prepared for them are different every time. Which brings me to my first point………

Why does the person or persons that interview you ask these non sense questions. Every thing that they ask you is a trick question. What you think was a good answer ends up being the opposite of what they were looking for. I hate when i’m asked a question that the person tries to gear towards you directly and how “you” would handle the situation. When the right answer to the question had nothing to do with you directly handling the situation, but what steps you should take that correlates to their policies. How the heck are you supposed to know their policies if you’re not an employee?? The worse questions are the ones where they ask you what are your top 5 traits or what are three characteristics that you think are necessary for the position you applied for? Dude……what kind of stupid question is that? If they ask you and three other people to name the top 5 characteristics that describe you i gaurantee that they will get a different set of answers every time. No one really knows their best characteristics better than the poeple that are around this person every day. Everybody is going to lie and say a bunch of great things about themself. Duuuhhhhh!!!!

Which brings me to my second point. Who tells the complete truth on any job application or in any interview anyway? I know who……NOBODY that’s who! Every one on your staff is a bunch of liars. Why would someone tell you the honest truth about themself and risk not getting considered for the position? Well here’s what i’m going to do: I’m going to go apply for a job and tell the dead honest truth and see if i get a call back. Now if I make it to the interview process then I will continue to tell them dead honest truth and see what happens from there. If i can get a spy camera attached to my shirt collar or get some spy glasses then I willl record this and post the video. I’m sure the interviewers will have some wild expressions and reactions once they hear my answers.

When is someone going to step outside the box and have a more realistic and logical job interview? Do something that catches the applicant off guard so you can really gauge this person. College students are tought how to work an interview so when you come with that basic interview process like everybody else they already know what’s coming and your stupid a** falls for it and gives the wrong person the job. Shame! Well, if you try something outside the box then that poor college student won’t have the slightest idea on what to do. They didn’t teach you that in leisure studies now did they? LOL!!

By the way.  experience is over rated. I think it’s completely unfair for a college student or college grad to get overlooked for an entry level job that only requires someone to have a high school diploma or GED simply because they don’t have enough prior experience in that particular job. FIRST OF ALL, how the heck can they get the experience if no one wants to give them a chance? SECOND, just because someone worked in a similar position before doesn’t automatically mean that person is a better fit than thet guy that doesn’t. Mr. I Have Experience over there might have been a bad employee at his last job, but you wouldn’t know this because he probably lied his way through the application and interview anyway.

SIP ON THAT!!!!!

I’m loving these Kobe and Lebron animated commercials. I don’t know who’s idea these are, but these commercials are hilarious in my opinion. What makes it even funnier is the fact that King James has already won the MVP award so why are they still debating?

Plus, after seeing that game winning shot in Game 2 against Orlando i guess it’s safe to say that he’s coming around and proving all his previous doubters wrong.

Yesterday, Atlanta rapper Dolla, real name Roderick Anthony Burton, was shot and killed while at the Los Angeles Beverley Center.

Here’s what the reports are saying so far. Dolla and a friend were just minding their business shopping in a popular Los Angeles mall when someone ran up on him and shot him in the head. He died immediately.

The shooter then fled the scene of the crime. MediaTakeOut.com reported that yesterday evening police picked up a 20 year old suspect trying to flee at the Los Angeles airport. The suspect, named Aubery Berry, was found carrying a 9mm handgun – the same caliber as the gun that killed Dolla.

This is quoted from the L.A Times:

“The up-and-coming rapper, who signed to Akon’s Konvict Muzik label in 2007, had flown to Los Angeles that very morning to continue work on his oft-delayed solo debut, “A Dolla And A Dream,” which had been slated for a summer release. He went to the Beverly Center to shop, his publicist Sue Vannasing told the newspaper. After the shooting, Burton was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a few blocks from the mall, where he died, police said.

The LAPD has not announced a motive for the attack or identified any official suspects, although detectives are questioning a woman they detained at the scene and a man who allegedly fled in a silver Mercedes SUV after he was detained while approaching the ticketing area at the Los Angeles International Airport armed with a gun.”

“The shooting took place at around 3:10 P.M., and  sent shoppers and diners — who said they heard four to five shots rang out — diving for cover. “Dolla was part of the Konvict Entertainment family and an incredible artist. This is a senseless crime and the industry has lost a real talent. Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans,” Akon said via a statement. “It’s a terrible tragedy,” T-Pain added. “My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”

Here’s a little background info on Dolla via Billboard.com:

“As first reported on Billboard.com last year, Dolla lived through his share of hardships in his short life. Born in Chicago in 1988 as a twin, Dolla’s sibling died due to an enlarged heart. At the age of five, after relocating to Los Angeles, his father committed suicide in front of him. As early as age ten, Dolla was dealing drugs in attempt to help make ends meet at home. In 2006, his sister was sentenced to jail following an altercation with police, leaving Dolla and his mother to care for his young niece and nephew. In 2007, Dolla was shot during an attempted robbery.

All the while, Dolla had dreams of leaving the hard knock life behind and becoming a famous rapper. At age 12, he formed a rap group called Da Razkals Cru, who caught the attention of Missy Elliott and Sean “Diddy” Combs, later becoming a model for the latter’s Sean John Clothing line.

By 2001, the group signed a deal with Elektra Records, where Dolla met the singer/producer Akon. Unfortunately, Elektra folded a few years later and the group was released from their contract in 2003. By then, Akon had already formed his Konvict Muzik imprint and was looking to expand, and so he signed a joint venture with Dolla’s The Gang Entertainment. Shortly after, Dolla was signed as a solo artist to Jive Records via Konvict.

His first single, “Who The Fuck Is That,” featuring T-Pain and Tay Dizm, peaked on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 42 early 2008.

Sip On This! Now we all know that there are a lot of people that are big gamers. We also know that there are plenty of sneaker heads out there as well. Well, now you got the best of both worlds. I don’t care how devoted you are to either of the two because with a price tag of $2,500 the majority of you out there will have to think twice, maybe even three times, before yo jump on this one.

The shoes aren’t endorsed by Nike or Microsoft by the way. They are the sole creation of Sole Junkie, a California-based artist who specializes in customized sneakers. He has made more expensive shoes then these by the way. I’m talking about some diamond laced 22k gold type sneakers. That’s wild right?

The shoes do not, i repeat, do not come with anything special like an Xbox hard drive are exclusive games. The only incentive to the sneaker is that the Xbox logo lights up due to a hidden switch in the shoe.

According to Sole Junkie’s eBay auction, “These are an exclusive pair…only one of its kind. Patent leather back with embedded fiber optic wiring in the shape of the XBOX logo. Battery placement is in the tongue as well as on and off switch that has 2 settings: Strobe or Constant light functions. Gradient lime swoosh faded to black. The toe is painted in a surreal Tiger Camouflage with accents of lime and bright green. These are a men’s size 11.”

Why didn’t i think about this idea first? Maybe because i don’t have the slightest idea on how he did it. Sip On It!!!

Sip On This!! Alfamega, real name Cedric Zellars, has been dropped from the Grand Hustle label by his former boss T.I for failing to disclose that he was a former DEA informant. T.I made the announcement on the 107.9 radio station in Atlanta earlier this week. “Ced” was sentenced to a 110 month sentence back in 1995 for sellings weapons to an undercover federal agent. STUPID!!! Official documents showed that Alfamegawas the one who initiated the contact with U.S Attorney’s Office to offer information about other illegal activities that were going on in Atlanta. He even testified against a Mr. Ali Baaqar at trial and helped the DEA with other illegal drug trafficking information.

Here’s a quote from T.I:

“I am stunned and totally surprised by the news about Alpha ‘Ced’ Zellers. Even though all our artists and employees are asked by us to be honest and open about their past history, at no time did Alpha never disclose to me or Grand Hustle which is now appearing in the news,” T.I. said, reading from a prepared statement. “He essentially deceived us by failing to fully disclose information about his past, and there is no place in our organization for dishonest and misleading behavior.”

What makes all of this so bad is the fact that now you have to wonder if he was involved in the bust of T.I two years ago that has the king of the south in the current situation that he’s in now. Anything is possible and if that’s how he chose to get down then T.I did the right thing by dropping him from Grand Hustle. ot solely because he was a former snitch, but because he was dishonest about his past from the start. You can’t keep disloyal people in your organization no matter what the field of business is. Something always did seem funny to me about that guy though.

By the way, i guess it’s safe to say that Alfamega’s short lived rap career is officially over.
