Thoughts on Entertainment

I mean in the wake of Micheal Jackson's passing what is there to say other than the fact he started making music in the 60's and my 4-year old brother knows some of his music! ENOUGH SAID, his musically impact is undenaible and I'm not one to dwell on the negative after man hasn't even been buried so mooooooving right along. The tribute situation and BET. For the time they had to do it I guess it's satisfying to some degeree. I just hope as great as he is we don't get super saturated with cheesy tributes and half thought out ideas. And as far as the Chris Brown not getting to perform at the BET Awards in MJ's honor its just a bad break. From a PR stand point it would have helped out CB greatly but you don't want a person that will cause so much scrutiny that they overshadow the tribute. And as far as all this Jay-Z hating about he blocking CB from performing that's crazy. You shouldn't tweet let alone report things like that unless you have iron clad proof. And as far as the D.O.A (Death of Autotune) I have seen on blogs and from other artist and the public about how people are tired of the autotune craze. But just because a lil DJ has another short lived hot summer record (DJ Webstar & Jim Jones) doesen't mean Jay is trying to kill your buzz. I mean it's true rappers are using it as a crutch and it makes it tough to see who has real talent. Well until you hear them live, LMAO! I mean and as far as the stylisitc thing Jay is saying in the song its true, do the skinny jeans if that's you but there is a test if you're doing it overboard: IF IT TAKES YOU LONGER TO PUT YOUR JEANS ON THAN YOUR GIRL, GO AHEAD AND GET SOME REGULAR FITTING JEANS, I PROMISE ITS OK. But good to see Drake is officially on with Young Money and its funny 50 cent is soooo far down rite now he took jabs at Drake since Wayne won't bite. The funny thing is after 50 went hard at Ross and the Boss is still standing 50 doesn't have the hit making potential or the battle skills that he is known for anymore??? Might be time to become a full time actor like the legend LL Cool J should do. Cause 50 may get his wish and Drake & Wayne get at him. It would be funny cause there so big right now Drake & Wayne would probably take him out with Auto Tune verses, lol. And on that note that's all i got for now.

NBA: Get better by any means neccessary

Unless you been under a rock or totally ignoring sport right now you should have noticed teams trying to position themselves for a title run in 2009-2010 season. While the Lakers seem to be having an issue bringing back Trevor Ariza, Cleveland seems to be a frontrunner to get the defensively/athletically gifted swing man. Speaking of the Cavs they have already beefed up the front court with the additon of Shaq and Ariza may seem like that would make them the overwhelming favorite with LeBron, Mo Williams, Ariza, Shaq, as possible starters. The Spurs proved why there the Spurs by getting a good player in Richard Jefferson and quality in the draft with DeJuan Blair in the second round. They will be a huge challenger to my Lakers. But after foolishly dangling Rajon Rondo in a trade and rescinding it Boston is looking to add Rasheed Wallace. Orlando figured they didn't want to pay Hedo Turkgulo what he felt he was worth so they brought in Vince Carter. I like the move because it can help develop Jameer Nelson as the play maker for the offense and the guy responsible for getting D.Howard the ball late in games. (Something the Magic didn't do the entire playoff run w/ Hedo dominating the ball in late situations) Also VC can create off the dribble unlike Courtney Lee and will benefit from being on a good squad so he will be motivated and he's coming to his home state. The Portland Trailblazers are in pursuit of Hedo but I feel they should sign veteran point guard Andre Miller. He can teach the athletically gifted and super talented Jared Bayless thow to run a team and operate in a half court set.( which if more point guards would learn instead of just running the floor in the transition game they would greatly benefit) Hedo is pretty much maxed out in my eyes. He can be a good fit in the right situation but I just seem him as not being able to produce the way we've seen him do the last two seasons. But as far as the Mavs they gotta make some decisions and if you're going to bring J.Kidd back get him a young heir apparent as a backup. JJ Barea is not that! I repeat JJ Barera is not that! I repeat, okay I'm sure you get the point. Detroit picked up scoring machine/clutch performer Ben Gordon and what I say can be a the next Rashard Lewis (when he's on) or the next Tim Thomas (when he's off) but Detroit ain't done and they better hire Avery Johnson as there coach if they wanna get back to being a upper echelon team in the East. I mean even thinking about Doug Collins is bad, he couldn't win with Jordan so who is Rip Hamilton for that matter. But moving along,financial times may be rough but &teams saving up for 2010 but its clear teams wanna get better by ANY MEANS NECCESSARY. The teams that haven't joined in may want to or get passed up! The NBA off season will provide for more excitement through the dead days of summer, an excess of baseball and the time before tranning camp. So stay tuned.
