Ironies in Hip-Hop

An ‘Irony‘ is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood.…

Chris Brown Arrest Picture

batterer Chris Brown, Officer Rick Ross, and Fat Joe. The funniest aspect of this mock up though is the ‘We Arrest’ (play off ‘We the best’ by DJ Khaled) Music Group … something tells me that 50 Cent and the thisis50.com boys are at it again. These Internet Soldiers are working overtime to globally disgrace people … welcome to the new age of hip-hop beef.

Presenteeism

“20 to 30 days out of the year, people show up for work, but accomplish very little”

Presenteeism is the opposite of absenteeism. In contrast to absenteeism, when employees are absent from work, presenteeism discusses the problems faced when employees come to work in spite of illness, which can have similar negative repercussions on business performance. It can also refer to the expectation of employers for their employees to be present at work regardless of whether any work is available or accomplished.

50 Cent Pimpin’ Curly – Episode 3

50 Cent in Pimpin Curly

50 Cent is a very funny guy – I thought that this was another attack on Rick Ross, but it seems to have nothing to do with ‘Officer Ricky’.  If the hip-hop thing doesn’t…

Brown and Rihanna – Black Cyclic Domestic Violence

Thus, to stop domestic violence, it needs to start at home with the family, and conflicts need to be resolved with discourse as opposed to physical actions. Here are some alarming stats of black domestic violence that will NOT make you wonder why even though a talented, and rich entertainer such as Chris Brown is not immune to black domestic violence as he grew up in a household where he saw his mother being physically abused by his Step Dad.

All-Star Slam Dunks Suspended in time

Self-explanatory post, no real setup for this – but I will say this, that the Photography lens captures something more than video can ever will, as a thousand words, thoughts, and inspirations can be conjured up by looking at these photos were talented athletes such as Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, and Michael Jordan refined space – and its limits.
I guess that was the ‘setup’ I was referring to, anyhow, the 2009 NBA All-Star weekend approaches, and here are the top picks for the Best Slam Dunks of All time (according to yours truly).

Nerban’s week in Tech – Google domination and $99 iPhone

I know you all are digging the dope retro technology picture. Anyhow, this week in technology for the Nerban sees an affordable iPhone, and Google’s continued pursuit of world domination. I said it once, and I will say it again, Google offers the best services for the web (email, search, google docs), but Google is essentially an advertising service for companies – they offer free products, and slap adsense wherever possible. Twitter, take note, as you may need a business model soon, anyway, here are the best links

Hot or Cold, it’s all good when your hungover

You know those nights where you come in, its like 4 am, you are starving after an eventful night of drinking. You are in a state of ripe limbo – too tired to prepare something hot that may take upwards to 30 minutes, but so famish that you need some food to give you energy so that you can sleep well – and hopefully ward off a hangover.

Mad Dashes

Part of me feels for the individual as we all know how hard it can be to come to the stage, but then another part of me feels like such lack of talent should not be viewable (to anyone). Not only does it apply to performances, but their are other situations in life, where I just got to get the hell out – As Soon As Possible.

Top 10 NBA All Star Dunks

As the 2009 NBA All Star game approaches, I thought it would be just to compile a list of the great All-star dunks.  Starting in 1984, the NBA All-Star Weekend’s centerpiece attraction (besides…

The Litigious Era

Everyone on the flight should be grateful that they are allowed to breath another day – and even the airline, which are only liable up to $3300 dollars for each passenger in the event of death or loss luggage, made the good faith gesture of giving each passenger $5000.
