Now I'm sure errr'body has gotten an ear glimpse (can i say that? Sure, its MY blog).. so like i was saying, I'm sure errr'body has gotten at least an ear glimpse of the incident involving Chris Brown and Rihanna. I was waiting until I found some full coverage of what happened or MAY have happened and so far my man illseed (allhiphop.com) has the business --- check it out:
Oh and oh yea, coincidentially late last night there was a situation that happened in LA where a police chase with a unknown guy driving a white Bentley, which ultimately ended in a suicide. Originally people were thinking it was CHRIS BROWN! ..but not so much, THEN from the coverage and pics, they started yellin' OH SNAP, ITS DJ KHALED!!! ..not so much again. BUT! They do think its a well known DJ in LA, so we'll see. For more news on that, check this out:
I don't know if any of yall have been following the 50Cent & Rick Ross beef -- but i got to say its been pretty entertaining. I think this is the most interesting one of them all for 50. Since he's income has increased (FORBES rank 50Cent second in income only to Oprah in the entertainment field), so with more disposable income -- when he goes hard on ya (beef), it cuts alot more deeper now! I'm posting some links below so that you can catch up on the time line of events. From Rick Ross dissing 50, to 50 calling it official then flying out Ross's son's mother (baby momma, if you will) and her dropping all kinds of bombs about Ross. And of course a few diss tracks, radio interviews and all in between!!
Now i'm going to say i liked 50 alot when he came out and then i kinda started disliking him slightly for going in on everyone, but i listened to alot of his interviews and this is not a stupid dude. He's very intelligent and knows how to market, and knows how to push the right buttons in warfare. So i stopped tripping and start just taking it for the entertainment it is...
Now is he right for the stuff he does -- i'm going to say, shoot.. 70% of the time i think: "Yo, Fif' didn't have to do that. Man, thats jacked up." But now i don't expect anything else from him other than for him to try to annihilate opposes as quickly as possible by any means necessary. So next up is Ricky Ross... i suppose. All i hope in all of this -- it ends well. From the looks of it though, its about to get ugly! Theres alot of personal stuff thats coming forth on Ross and i don't think he's really prepared to be exposed like this. He's danced around this previous correctional officer career he 'allegedly' had, but Fif is relentless -- he's coming with actual footage & all! He has all of Ross's financial statements that he was able to get because of the current child support case he has going on with his son's mom. Of course now that 50 has everything, Ross's lawyer is asking for a gag order in the trial so there's no more personal docs released (too little too late)!
Anywho! -- i'm not going to talk your ear off, the point of blog was to show this hilarious video of 50 making fun of the comments Rick made about him and the request for an apology from Foxy Brown!
Check the other links below to catch up or see more 50 vs Rick Ross beef episodes!!
Aiiight, so i just finished up part two of my mission -- and that was adding a separate site for my poetry and such. Unlike my Myspace blog, i didn't want them meshed together, so i created a separate but linked page. Feel free to mosey over there to get some culture in ya life!! Lol!!
...Stay tuned as i migrate my old blogs over from MySpace to my new Blog home on Blogger.com (Blogspot). I'll keep both active, but this is where i'll bring all referenced sites and links under one umbrella! -- So keep checking back as i take baby steps in getting things situated at our new home!
OK, so about 3.5 weeks ago, my head was like KILLIN' ME! I mean, I couldn't sleep or anything!! It was completely and totally unbareable! I really couldn't pinpoint anything because i was thinkin' a had this tooth filling that was killing me. Its at the far back, top of my mouth, so I did notice that when I would eat or drink something my head would hurt. I couldn't feel pain coming from that tooth. The only thing was, my head would hurt what seems to be around the clock -- eating or not!
So i go holla at my dentist (Dr. Katrice Thomas -- excellent Dentist!) Sidebar: I've had male dentist all my life and they would just jerk and yank your teeth around, even just for cleanings. At least that was my experience as a man. Females had a different experience... the same male dentist would be gentle with them. Soooo... my man tells me about Dr. Thomas and her all female staff and what do you know, the roles changed! Now I'm in the dentist chair getting treated righteous, and well.. i don't know about how they treat females because i'm taken care of, so I'm good. So fellas, get a female dentist!!
Anywho, I go to her and she does a whole little procedure to ensure my tooth doesn't bother me. Well my tooth stopped hurting for the most part, but my head was still KILLING ME! Eyes hurting and all! So i said to myself, Man this has got to be my freaking eye sight. I look at screens, dual monitors, plasma TVs around the clock and i don't just look at them, i stare into them because i'm working on stuff or even playing my Xbox 360 in a deemly light room. I've never had any vision issues (thus my pen name, SlickVision, which years ago, i used EagleVision as my AOL email address because of my eye shape and vision), but anyway -- I go holla at my good folk at Affordable Eyecare (downtown) like 2 days later while I was on lunch and what do ya know -- Dr. Hobson, shows me the results and its my freakin right eye thats causing my problems.
So there ya have it... I order two pair of glasses IMMEDIATELY! (see Photos) One for home, just a plain pair of lightweight rimless joints, and I decided to go 'bold' as they say with a second main pair being a black rimmed up, slightly tented glasses. I got slightly tented since I premarlily use them for working, not just cause its a cool look (some think). I'm already cool, you numbskull! :)
But nah, so here we go.. Kalonji Gilchrist aka Slick Gilchrist (aka SlickVision), is now rocking corrective lens. So consider it a Superman / Clark Kent feel appeal -- because I still go hard and well jump in the booth and get breezy on ya!
Ya diiig?!!

Right before I started this Blog i just noticed something -- I am definitely a Soul Brotha... Neo-Soul Brotha or whateva... its in my chemical fabric. I like classic -- i like timeless, and although I do enjoy fly-by-nights situations. I smoke quality cigars, i sip full-bodied wines. Heck, sometimes I even wonder where this comes from...
But i think know... its the gentlemen before me that I admired (Rudy Thomas), its my Grandfather's silent confidence, 'swagger' if you will (and i have something to say about the over-usage of that word, because to me 'Swagger' is the term now coined to explain something that someone poses NATURALLY -- but its false and paper-thin to me if 'money' or 'status' gives you this false sense of confidence or 'SWAGGER' (that way some use the word).
If you're not naturally from within charismatic, then anything outside of YOU doesn't give you swagger -- your just fronting. Not to be looked upon as something bad, but more or less 'Stunting' (as the term most favored today). 'Fronting' is not bad, per say, its only bad when you are 'perpatrating a front' (as in the old school would say). THEN you're not Fronting or Stunting, your perpatrating the 'front'... or attempting to 'stunt' -- when your really not. So when I see everyone and their momma talking about this person & that person got swagger -- its not always true -- they're just FRONTING! ...and its cool, hell I front and stunt too when its time too, but when you strip all that extra stuff away and if you can't stand in front of anyone without feeling insecure about what or who you are, what you can offer, what you can do -- then you ain't got swagger, pimpin'.
Now that i'm off the my soap box (my bad folk)!! So as I was saying -- its my Grandfather's silent confidence, my father's endless desire to be the best, and being from that era of Soul and Pride -- I myself feel in my natural element around Soulful music, soulful things, classic and timeless pieces... THUS this finally brings me to why I blogging today!!
I just recently saw my first 'play-play' baby momma in concert, and I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER ALL OVER AGAIN! Ya see, before there was Alicia Keys & Keshia Cole to me -- there was Cassandra Wilson, Meshell N'Dege Ochello, Amel Larrieux, Dionne Farris & many more -- but my first 'play-play' baby momma (and I use that term loosely, not to offend) was ERYKAH BADU!! Man I love that chic -- she's soul, but street soul, ya dig? She's a little more edgey, she's my Angela Davis type. That fits for me even better, cause umma Malcolm X, Chuck D type, lol!!
Sooo... let me re-introduce to you -- none other than, my "i buy every album" lady, my favorite rappers 'real' baby momma,my 'maybe next life time' shuga -- ERYKAH BADU!!!
..and one of my all time favorites!

OK.. so there's this black guy, asian guy and a jewish guy -- the black guy says to the asian guy... Aaah I'm messin' witcha'.. I ain't got no stupid BS racist jokes. So anyways.. check this out --- MY NEW JOINT, MY NEW NEW FAVORITE JOINT IS...
'DEM FRANCHISE BOYZ's "Talkin' Out the Side of Ya Neck!" (not to be confused with Kameo's old school version)
Thats right, I said it!! This is my new joint!! Now I'm picky.. I'm hip-hop... I love lyricist -- but i'm also a dirty south resident straight from the wild West (Edgemont, Fairview, Patton, and all the other streets in West Montgomery!! LOL) -- so nevertheless there are some joints thats like -- WHAT?! THESE CATS SNAPPIN'!!! So in this case... again... just like my last flavor of the month (Cassidy's 'Drink & Two Step'), its the beat, its the chorus... When you write songs, compose songs or what ever.. its a method and a formula.. a winning formula... and in that formula consists a strong dosage of a dynamic rhythm and an addictive chorus... and it doesn't really matter what type or style of music you have.. you will capture someone's ears and done right, you will hold it. Smartly enough these guys have JD (Jermaine Dupre) behind them... JD is gonna put those hits out there for ya -- trust me. This right here, although I haven't heard it THAT MUCH (in comparison to some crap) on the radio, is a hit and it has extended life. Whats extended life? You hear them horns? You even see the sprinkles of extended life in the video with the band playing it.... so August during College Football season, heck even now during SWAC (Southwestern Athletic Conference) basketball play, you probably will hear the band playing it NOW! Its just one of those songs, ya dig?
So yeah, Thats my new joint and I can't hear it enough!!!
You can't dig it?? ..I'm sorry, I-can't-hear-ya... you really don't like it? Sorry, I-can't-hear-ya.... if you ain't watch the video then I really can't hear ya!!!
Get some!! Press Play!
