YOU GOT THE MAC?
Really, Winter is a b****!
At the start of the summer, I felt London (and the rest of the world) was full of beautiful people. I hadn't processed the fact that summer made everyone feel good and when one feels good - one makes an effort to look good too.
In recent times, (mostly on the London Underground) I'm starting to think people are looking more miserable and damn right fugly!
All caution has been thrown to the wind about outer appearance, you find people digging out their older coats (which frankly don't deserve an hanger), others are buried underneath layers of clothing with pale/ dry skin and everyone (and I mean, everyone) has the flu!
You get it - JUST NASTY!
So, for the fellas - cause I know you need more help than most. Here's a few suggestions on how to do your-thang this winter.
Is you don't have one of the above (or a replica in some cases) do it NOW!
CAN I PLEASE TOP-UP MY i-PHONE
I'm getting increasingly irritated about this sole partnership between O2 and Apple's i-Phone. I mean, what's a brother got to do to get this shizzle on pay-as-you-go?
I was at the Carphone Warehouse last night and spent 30 mins in awe of the technology-ridden tool. My jaws dropped as I scanned through the endless list of functions until some sales assistant began to breathe down my neck with his sales pitch. I just wanted to say, can you top on an i-Phone bro?
Pure ridiculousness!!
Steve Jobs (CEO, Apple) better be careful - we are the people that make their brands as strong as they are. The sad capitalists - and right now, he isn't satisfying my retail itch.
KANO'S FEEL FREE
You all now that we give mad props where it's due, right?! Well we think that you do and that sits just fine within us.
Last night, we experienced the premiere of K - to the N-O's new video. The single is 'Feel free' featuring Damon Albarn and the spectacular London Children's Choir. From start to finish, we were engaged by Kano's delivery of what could easily be a hit/miss single (not that we agree! but others might not get it)
His convincing promotional performance made us rate this 'London-town bruv' as the future of UK entertainment. Period!
He understands what it takes to do this business called show and although we are yet to see him live - we are increasingly impressed with his efforts.
If you don't have a copy of his sophomore album 'LONDON TOWN' you need to cop it! Seriously!

BADGE OF HONOUR: ROISIN MURPHY
This woman is simply incredible. Her natural smooth vocals on electro-spaced drum beats guarantees daydreaming all the time. Here's a rare performance on the Jools Holland show on the 9th of November. This was her first appearance on the show as the ex-Moloko singer and we couldn't have wished for anything more. Brilliance!
The album is titled 'Overpowered', go and get your copy now!

LIFE IS A BOX OF CHOCOLATES!
Our hearts has just sank at the devastating news of the death of Kanye West's mother, Dr Donda West died on Saturday.
This is a classic example that life is precious and no matter what success/ triumph a human being might be experiencing, one must never forget that life can throw it's fair share of disappointments your way.
At the height of his career, this is bound to be a great blow to Kanye as we all know he was inseperable from his mother-turned manager.
May her soul rest in peace. She was only 58 years old.
I urge everyone to pick up their phones right now and call your mama. We don't care how busy you are, do it now!
THIS IS SO SAD!

HUMANITY IS OVERRATED
The Finnish-school killer that left 8 people dead was apparently wearing a T-shirt that read:
HUMANITY IS OVERRATED
At what point, does an 18-year old get into this state of utter deception? How does one get into this frame of fear and hate?

CABLE CHANNEL EXTENSIONS
In today's digital satellite world, it seems like we are not getting newer channels, what we have are new extentions of our favourite channels. Flicking through Sky these days is as mundane as Martha Stewart, you have some shows been broadcasted more than thrice in a day.
How is this done? Take for instance Ugly Betty.
The new series was premiered on E4, then re-premiered (for non-satellite viewers) on Channel 4. If you missed that slot, you could catch up on Channel 4 + 1, if you were really impatient, you could watch ahead in the series on More 4 which also has an extention, More 4 + 1.
This is a growing trend amongst all TV giants, BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and we can't forget the genre-specific MTV extentions.
Which makes us ask the question: Are these extentions for the viewers benefit? or Is this just a brilliant way to generate advertising revenue like never before?
Let's Marinade on that for a second!

LET'S TALK ABOUT.......BODY TATTOO
When I was much younger, I wanted a tattoo of a cross on my left arm just like DMX. At the time (believe it or not) I thought I was a Ruff Ryder. I bought the clothes, the CD and even saw Eve in concert (Oh yes!!!)
Today, I don't quite feel the same about the idea of having often 'meaningless' symbols and writings scribbled all over my slim-frame. I thought perhaps tattoos look better on a certain type of frame. Maybe if I was packing the heat - perhaps it might look good on me too.
Many people can't seem to identify exactly why they like/have tattoos. At Renaissance Man, we are looking for comments. opinions on why their is a phenomeon called body tattooing and why it is very unlikely that it will fade for generations to come.
We want to hear from you.

OH NO...SHE DIDN'T!
Did anyone watch Saturday Night Divas on ITV2 on Saturday?
If you didn't, good for you! Despite the cheap TV set and production and everything generally mediocre, nothing could have prepared us for the shocking performance by Jamelia - a rendition of Outkast's Hey Ya.
Words could not describe the shock of our faces as we cringed all through the 3mins and 40secs of the modern classic. This performances was so karaoke that my nephew (whom on a good day loves the song) stood static as if his favourite pokemon had been assaulted.
It was just BAD and we like Jamelia, we really do!

Someone needs to invite MJ's black ass on Strictly Come Dancing. Wouldn't he be divine? We all know he can do with the extra cash. He can do the Smooth Criminal fall during the Cha Cha.......
SEX TAPE?
How many of us would like to see a Reese and Jake sex tape? It would their greatest work till date.
We wonder if he has the skill for graffiti.......that's a thought!
AMERICAN GANGSTER
As the ultimate Denzel groupie, you know we can't wait for the film of the year 'American Gangster' destined to be a bad ass flick.
It's in cinemas across the country from the 16th November and we can't wait to see the much-praised performances from the Acting Messiah, Mr Washington and our man from down-under, Mr Russell Crowe.
Jay-Z's soundtrack is also in stores in a week and it's gotten great reviews.
Y'all better recognise!
CHRISTMAS BOLLOCKS
So it's ho ho ho ho ho!
Just in case you've been on planet nowhere, it's hard to miss that increasingly growing christmas feeling. From the dazzling lights on Harrods to the overcrowded desperate shoppers on Oxford Street, Christmas is upon us and I can't help that warm sensation.
So what are we all doing this Christmas?
A break-up? An assault? Rekindling unfinished business? F***ing for relevance?
It usually gets pretty ugly around the December months as everyone wants to start the New Year afresh.
So what makes a great Christmas? Is there too much emphasis placed on a day? Do we all indulge purely for the potential gains?
Help me out people!
YEP.......BELIEVE IT!
Okay, so this isn't Perez or Bossip, we don't have photographers waiting outside restaurants waiting for a snappy moment. We are a respectable trash blog. Yep, I said it....respectable!
Isn't this the weirdest pairing in a while. Lance Armstrong clearly done with the over-40s after Sheryl (white trouser-suit) Crow, that he has decided to swap saliva with the very-bohemian barely-legal Ashley Olsen.
Help me out here people!
A NEW CRACKHEAD IN TOWN!
MARTINA HINGIS!
Once upon a time, there was a little untouchable brat called Martina Hingis. She was only 15 when she won her first grand slam and she went on to dominate the world of female tennis for years to come until The Williams Sisters arrived on the scene.
Like any good brat, she struggled to beat the sisters at the power game and decide (like any good bart would) to quit the game and move to a farm in her hometown of Basel, Switzerland where it is rumoured she milked cows on a daily basis..... for fun!
When the cheques stopped coming, she had a brain wave to go back into competitive professional tennis. Not that people gave a shit, she struggled to win a whopping total of 3 tournaments (not grandslams) till date.
So, Martina decide to quit professional tennis yesterday amid suspicion for cocaine consumption (wait for it...............) at the All-England Club during the rainy summer. Ooooh, and she reiterates that she isn't dodging doping tests.
What bloody-ever Martina.....get some f***** direction in your world.
The world is real, deal with it!
ESTELLE: ................
It breaks my heart when a girl has so much talent but yet unmarketable.
The truth is Estelle is a very talented artist but her features/ stage presence just does not correlate with someone that has the potential to sell bucket-loads of records.
Her musical merger with John Legend promised perhaps BIGGER things but after I saw her new video 'JUST A TOUCH' my old fears have resurfaced again.
Her face is just not right!
JA RULE: STOP POPPIN' STEROIDS
Has Ja been working out?
So I saw the new promotional video for his new single 'BODY' - not bad, not bad for the rule-master. We can't know his trademark sing-a-long hooks that has worked well for his collaborations with J-Ho and As-ha-I-can't-sing!
The single will definiately grow on us and that video is sexy. Everything was right - the palette, the women, the body, the texture.
Ja might have finally gotten his shizzle together! Round 2 - 50!
JUST A CASE OF BADDDDDD PR!
We feel for Heather Mills.
The cow just can't seem to do anything right. Just in case you haven't heard about her outburst on GMTV yesterday, the key story is that she's officially nuts.
She compared herself to Kate McCann and Princess Diana - you wish B****!
This week on your beloved blog, it's all about the 'Hustleress' - Foxy, Fergie now Heather. What an esteemed group (Don't you agree!). From a catalogue model, to a disability activist, to a McCartney, to a psycho gold digger.....ooooh, we love her. Someone please give her a medal. She deserves a pat on the back.
Next time she gets another offer to appear on TV (I can see the offers pouring in!). She should be introduced as "...It's Heather, B****!)
You better recognise!

BRAVO!
WE ARE TIRED OF CRAZY B*****!
What the hell is up with Foxy 'Boogie' Brown? Is she trying to be Naomi? She's in jail as we speak for assaulting an assistant with her blackberry. Few days ago, she was moved into a special section in the prison away from inmates after she got into a brawl with a number of jailbirds.
Since when was acting crazy cool? Since when did going to jail become the norm for female rappers? They might as well grow penises at this stage as this behaviour is simply out-of-this-world and quite frankly pathetic.
What's next, Lil' mama in rehab? Ooooooh....we're going to love that, no more my lipgloss is poppin' crap!
ROLE MODEL: VICKY POLLARD
No but yeah but yeah but yeah no but yeah no but yeah....whatever!
In the town of Darkly Noone resides Vicky Pollard, an incomprehensible girl and the nemesis of many a teacher and social worker. Often heard rambling about "this fing wot you know nuffin about", she stubs out her fags, orders snakebite and pretty much denies ever doing anything wrong. A strange British breed indeed.
Vicky Pollard: Who the Hollyoaks omnibus is that?
Vicky's gang member #1: Chantelle Baker’s gang.
Vicky Pollard: Who or sumthin or nuffin?
Vicky's gang member #2: They live down St.Pauls.
Vicky Pollard: No, but, yeh, but, no, but,, what are they doin' on our patch or sumthin' or nuffin' or sorta like thing coz they is well gonna get beat-ins!
Vicky's gang member #3: Cool it Vicky, they're well hard.
Vicky's gang member #1: Yeerh, they give the Rettinen Sisters a bog wash.
Vicky Pollard: They don't scare me. Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, I'm just Vicky Pollard from round the corner from the block. V to the P to the icky to the ollard. Ohmigod. This is well hectic!
Vicky Pollard: Hey you, what you doin' on our patch, you total bunch of mingin' dog bitches! [a dancing match follows, which is ended when Vicky boldly steps up to one of the gang members and and gives her a nipple-cripple]
Vicky Pollard: We is well the best dancers.

Micheal Jackson now leaves in what is essentially another house in Las Vegas. This depressing piece of information breaks our hearts as we try to make sense on how this icon can go from living in 'Neverland' to another middle class home in Las Vegas.

A SIMPLE PRESIDENT!
Here's an extract from CNN's Inside Africa, Anchor Femi Oke is interviewing Nigerian's President, Umaru Musa Yar'adua during the recently concluded UN Summit held in New York.
OKE: How did that feel, to stand in front of the United Nations as president of Nigeria?
YAR'ADUA: I felt a burden of responsibility representing my country before the assemblage of world body, where issues of global concern, indeed concerning and impacting at times on the lives of all Nigerians are decided.
OKE: If you review the week, what are the achievements you feel you achieved this week?
YAR'ADUA: What do we have achieved? What I feel I have achieved, really, is sending a message of hope and confidence, you know, to the international community about Nigeria. And through my bilaterals and meetings with investors and various nations that are interested in investment, you know, I have managed to convince and win the hearts of investors. And in fact, I have managed a few agreements (inaudible).
OKE: How do you raise your profile so people know you as president of Nigeria and know your style? How do you raise that profile?
YAR'ADUA: OK, by interacting with people, you know, meet with them. Reaching out, explaining, you know, my vision for my country and my vision for the role Nigeria is to play.
OKE: Tell me five things about you, Mr. President, that the world does not know.
YAR'ADUA: I am (inaudible). I am simple. A servant leader. I am committed to the development of humanity, and I love my country.
Ehhhhhhhhh....I can see why Donald Duke was not allowed to contest during the elections. He clearly was an unfit candidate.
5 GOLDEN STARS: MATTAFIX
Our boys are about to drop a new album. We are very excited indeed.
The new album is titled 'RHYTHMS & HYMNS' and out on November 12th. Their new single 'Living Darfur' is awe-inspiring and testament to why we love intelligent songwriters.
We are so sick of Mr. Rubber lips Ne-yo hugging up the charts with his cliche-pinky songwriting skills. These are the people worthy of recognition.
Share the journey with us with their new promotional video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJtvNHPWUO8
Enjoy!
GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY!
We are so bored of J-Ho! Go and crawl and stay in a hole for ever. You ain't "doing anything well". You're mediocre and desperate to stay relevant. We don't care if you are pregnant, it is all a yawn! Focus on keeping your man, he's obviously the only person that seems to give a hoot about you or what you're doing.
Stay as far away from our TV screens as possible!
TO LEWIS HAMILTON
Our hearts go out to Lewis Hamilton who failed to win the Formula One drivers' championship in Brazil. The world is quick to forget the chap is only 22 years of age. Give him a break! We also strongly disagree with the McLaren's appeal over the stewards' decision not to impose sanctions on two rival teams investigated for breaches of technical regulations. If Lewis should win, it shouldn't be by default or scandal. A thorough win is what a true champion deserves!
At Rennaissance Man, we dedicate these wise words by Tupac Shakur to Lewis' efforts:
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
Ooooo child things are gonna get brighter

3 REASONS WHY WE LOVE: KATE NASH's LYRICS
ALL SONGS ARE TAKEN FROM THE NO.1 'MADE OF BRICKS' ALBUM
1 Why are you being a dickhead for
Stop being a dickhead
Why are you being a dickhead for
You're just fucking up situations
Think you know everything
You really don't know nothing
I wish that you were more intelligent
So you could see that what you are doing
Is so shitty, to me
Extract taken from 'DICKHEAD'
2 And when I saw you
Kissing that girl
My heart it shattered
And my eyes, they watered
And when I tried to speak I stuttered
And my friends were like whatever
You'll find someone better
His eyes were way too close together
And we never even liked him from the start
And now he's with that tart
And I heard she done some really nasty stuff
Down in the park with Michael
He said she's easy
And if your guy's with someone that's sleazy
Then he ain't worth your time
'Cause you deserve a real nice guy
Extract taken from 'WE GET ON'
3 I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style
I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met
Extract taken from 'THE NICEST THING'

WILL EMINEM NEED THE TIMBERLAK-ISM?
Justin Timberlake has come a long way from wearing swimming 'fashionable' googles to doing backflips in N'Sync earlier videos to wearing matching outfits with Britney (oh yes! they went there) to acting-a-fool at MTV Award shows trying to 'be cool' in front of artists like Eminem whom once delivered this gruesome assault on Justin's group and the rest of the Pop World -
I'm anti-Backstreet and Ricky Martin with instincts to kill N'Sync, don't get me started
These fuckin brats can't sing and Britney's garbage
What's this bitch retarded? Gimme back my sixteen dollars
All I see is sissies in magazines smiling
Whatever happened to whylin out and bein violent?
Whatever happened to catchin a good-ol' fashioned passionate ass-whoopin and gettin your shoes coat and your hat tooken?
New Kids on the Block, sucked a lot of dick
Boy/girl groups make me sick
Fast forward to 2007, Justin Timberlake has somehow become a poster boy for edgy sing-a-long R&B hits and more importantly now considered 'cool' by most industry heavyweight from Snoop Doggy Dog to T.I to 50 Cent. I get the feeling Enimem might be kicking himself, clearly he never envisaged Justin's crossover effect amongst his peers and further since 'Slim Shady' has not been inspiring his fans lately, he will have to come back with a new 'strategy' as the world has clearly moved past his diss-acts-on-wax gimmicks and Pop ain't such a dirty word any more.
Which makes us wonder, will Enimem swallow his pride and do a collaboartion with Justin Timberlake?
Eminem is no stranger to contradictions, he performed with Elton John at the 2003 Grammy Awards shows despite his very public and unapologetic homophobic views. The truth is, a collaboration between the two men could be a real audience-pleaser and could potentially go down as one of the greatest duets in the history of popular music.
So, could this be Justin's sweetest revenge? We shall wait and see!
HELP YOURSELF WINO!
On the heels of her recent arrest, I'd like to quote Amy's own lyrics back to her. She inspired many with these sincere words but sadly she seems to have forgotten her very own profound thoughts.
This is a verse from 'Help Yourself' - FRANK album.
I can't help you if you won't help yourself
I can't help you if you won't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone else
I can't help you if you don't help yourself
You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you as sixteen years old most the time
And I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I like nothing I've ever known yeah
I'm nothing like I've ever knew
Cause it's where you're at not where you've been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head above the sea
And carry you even though you're bigger
Cause don't you know you crush my tiny figure
And anyway we're still so youngAnd this isn't yesterday
I NEED YOU TO STAY UP AMY!

BADGE OF HONOUR: VERSE OF THE DAY
Black Men United - You Will Know
This verse brings joy into my life
When I was a young boy
I had visions of fame
They were wild and they were free
They were blessed with my name
And then I grew older
And I saw what’s to see
That the world is full of pain
And my dreams they left me
And then I got stronger
Inside of the pain
That’s when I picked up the pieces
And I regained my name
And I fought hard, y’all
To call by my place
And right now you could ask me
And it all seems in vain
[Your dreams ain’t easy] Your dreams ain’t easy
[You just stick by your plan] You just stick by your plan
[Go from boys to men] Go from boys to men
[You must act like a man] You gotta act like a man
[When it gets hard, y’all] When it gets hard, y’all
[You just grab what you know] Got what you know
[Stand up tall and don’t you fall] And my background sing
You will know [You will know], yeah...eah...[You will know]

A word of advise to Owen Wilson, don’t take that woman back. If you attempted suicide over a woman you should never never and we mean (let’s say it together) never take her back, if you managed to survive the ordeal that is.
Rumour has it, Kate Hudson recently split with boyfriend Dax Shepard because “she wanted to spend time together with her son”. WHATEVEEER!
We like Owen Wilson at Rennaissance Man, the man is a living legend and we were all very upset to see a grown man reduced to nothing because of the four-letter word. Our advice to Owen is a) get better, b) get a new haircut, c) shave more often, d) party with Scarlett Johansson (she’s way hotter than kate anyways plus we think she’s single) and e) never let Kate in the same building as you (at least for the first 3 months). Otherwise, she’ll sneak up on you and voila you will find yourself in a ‘SYMPATHY RELATIONSHIP’.
Now, sympathy dating is cool when you’re broke and height-challenged but it’s just plain ridiculous if you’re a Hollywood actor. No way jose!
I’m going to have to quote Uncle Chris again: “Fellas, do you ever catch your woman just looking at you? She’s looking at you cause you ain’t her first choice…”
Nuff said!

PR MAN OF THE CENTURY
Every time Al Gore comes on TV, I just can’t seem to control my urge to chant Go Al, Go Al, Go Al! The man is remarkable. He lost the Presidential election by default, found a global issue to tag himself to, made a movie, won an Oscar and now he’s managed to win The Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change".
All hail Al!!
Mr. Gore was one of the first politicians to grasp the seriousness of climate change and to call for a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases. Sadly, a current survey revealed that a significant segment of Americans though aware that Mr Gore won The Nobel Peace Prize were unclear as to why he actually won it.
The Nobel Peace Prize has sparked controversy throughout its history. The Norwegian Parliament appoints the Peace Prize Committee, but pacifist critics argue that the same Parliament has pursued partisan military aims by ratifying membership in NATO in 1949, by hosting NATO troops, and by leasing ports and territorial waters to US ballistic missile submarines in 1983. However, the Parliament has no say in the award issue. Past winners have included Martin Luther King (1964 laureate), Jimmy Carter (2002 laureate), The 14th Dalai Lama (1989 laureate), and Kofi Annan (2001 laureate) amongst many. On closer inspection, the peace-laureates often have a lifetime's history of working at and promoting humanitarian issues.
We applaud Al Gore for his relentless quest for relevance. This is a man whom was publicily robbed for the U.S presidency seat yet eight years later, he is awarded what is arguably the most prestigious accolade to any man. The man is his own PR Machine and we love him for it.
Memorably, Gore gave a brief speech at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony after the Inconvienent Truth won ‘Documentary Feature’: "My fellow Americans, people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue; it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act.
Go Al! We need a female Al Gore with a Hermes Birkin of course!

DID YOU OWN A PAIR?
I hate to do this but if you were 18 around the mid nineties - this might hurt.
Did you ever own a pair of these? Did you religiously wear this non-stop during the summer, winter and autumn months although they were battered and clearly needed changing? Did you save up to buy a pair to fit in with your respective 'ethic' peer groups? Did soemone ever step on your precious pair and the only thing that crossed your mind was a brutal assault on their face?
If any of this sounds familiar, you are guilty without a chance of parole.
MISS JONES
She's married to Nasiru Oludara. Again, she's married to Nasiru Oludara. Again, she's married to Nasiru Oludara.
Sorry, I just have to constantly remind myself of this fact!
MUST SEE TV - NOT!
MTV has a new reality show. Yay! It’s titled LIVING ON THE EDGE
Just in case you don’t know MTVONE (whatever that means) don’t actually play any videos these days, its full of reality shows. Hogan Knows Best, Real World Denver, I love New York (my personal favourite, that woman is definitely U-G-L-Y you ain’t got no alibi) and The Hills (Oohhhh, I love those slags – they are DRAMA – they need inspirational sessions with Ms Mary J Blige)
Now, we all know the UK will try on almost any level to rival their ‘close’ allies. The MTV Europe production team spent all summer shooting a bunch of rich Cheshire kids who have just completed sixth form and are getting ready for the BIG U word.
Excited yet! Ooh yes, so I watched as the ultimate MTV junkie – life isn’t the same without knowing the new stupid-blond chick on the block. After 10 minutes, it was clear I was going to hate this show and it’s lead character, Esme. Yes, Esme!
She’s 18, rude, self-obsessed, slightly lumpy and generally vile.
After 2 opening episodes, it was clear these kids JUST AIN'T FUCKED UP ENOUGH; we watched them play tennis, drink lattes and still no drama. I have concluded that English people just can’t do glamorous nor ditsy, that’s for our Americans to do and they do it well. I will watch the next episode, just to see if they get their acts together and I shall keep you all posted. In the meantime, don’t bother to tune in, that’s my job.
Ooh, anorexia could be a good ‘planted’ plot for Esme. Ooh, you disgusting!!

MARIO: MY MAMA LOVES YE-YO!
People,
If you had a parent whom was dependent on a class A-substance would you tell? Better yet, would you announce it to the entire MTV generation? Mario revealed this disastrous PR stunt on an MTV special. My jaw dropped last night as I watched Mr. Let-me-love-you speak so dismissively about his mother's growing addiction. I certainly hope this isn't a stunt to pull attention away from rival, Chris Brown cause we all know he's kicking your ass right now.

BIG SHIT STOPPIN', LITTLE SHIT POPPIN
A letter to T.I
Why oh why didn't you stick to your original prophesy? Why the hell on the eve of a big awards' night will you be found fighting at a strip club? Why will you ask your bodyguard to order your machine guns? And why why why, are you married to short'est' from X-SCAPE?
Unlike your music, a lot of things do not make sense about your journey. If this is a stint to sell records then we ain't laughing as the judge has smacked the smile off our smog faces with a 'no bond' which means we ain't hearing your 'swag' in a minute.
Step up and read some books!
