Who is Drake?..oh u mean Jimmy?..



Honestly I feel like I am in the twilight zone. To this day I CANNOT believe that this dude I use to watch on Noggin on daily basis is becoming when of the biggest artist in such a short period of time. It's crazy when I turn on the TV, or turn on the radio, or go to a magazine stand, Jimmy Brooks's voice and picture is all around me.

I honestly DID NOT think his rap career was going to take him THIS far. I remember when I first heard dude could rap was on this Degrassi special where they went behind the scenes and talked to the cast members. It was there where I learned a little bit about his family tree and how musically driven there are. When he said that he raps I kinda just smh and said whatever. I mean seriously, around that time every person who was on a teen tv show thought they could either sing or rap. So when he said that he was seriously thinking about making a career out of it, I pretty much said "yeah the FUCK right.."

I was NOT going to take a dude that was on the most watched teen show in Canada seriously as a rapper. However when I heard Comeback Season I was generally impressed, boy had skills. But, I still wouldn't take him seriously because like I said, he was FUCKING JIMMY! I didn't know or seem to CARE who this "Drake" character is.

However he finally got enough courage to leave the show, which was the most smartest thing he did, and the rest is pretty much history. To this day I still don't look at the dude how everybody else sees him. When I see his face on MTV or on a magazine, I see the dude who was the ONLY black dude on the show to get shot. I see the dude who became a paraplegic from the waist down and couldn't get it up when he tried to get on with Ashley. I see the dude who had funk with Spinner for getting his black ass on the wheel chair, man I could go on forever.

Now I see this dude doing songs with the biggest names in the music industry. From Weezy, to Kanye, to Hov, to Alica Keys, to Mary J. Blige, to Jamie Foxx, to even motherfucking Eminem of all people. Dude hasn't even dropped his first album yet, and they are treating him like he is the biggest thing since slice bread. Shit dude was nominated for a GRAMMY off a MIXTAPE track. Like I said I feel like I am in the fucking twilight zone. But real talk, Jimmy has proved me wrong, and he has now become the Lebron James of hip hop.

However, when I see Drake, I don't see the rapper, I see the little dweeb that graduated from that high school from our neighbors from the north.






So Jimmy I salute ya..

I thought I had friends for life.."



"Money gone fuck friends
I need a homie that know me
when all these muthafuckin' cops be on me
I got problems ain't nobody calling back
now what the fuck is happenin' with my ballin' cats

Remember me I'm ya homie that was down to brawl
Sippin' Hennessy hanging with the clowns and
all we used to do is drink brew, screw and common knew
we had bitches by the dozens oh we fuckin' cousins
You can throw ya middle finger if ya feel me loc
a nigga just got paid and we still was broke
It took time but finally the cash was mine
all the rewards of a hustler stuck in the grind
Look around and all I see is snakes and faces
like scavengers waitin' to take a hustler's pape's
and when you stuck where the fuck is all ya friends
They straight busted and can't be trusted fuck y'all"

The bolded is pretty much how i am feeling at the moment. Something has been bugging me for the past few hours and I don't know how to shake it down my back. I CANNOT describe how it feels to have a friendship end over some little bullshit. I dont understand how I at one time me and this person shared a very close friendship. How at one time I told this person things I don't usually tell ANYBODY. I can't understand how this person shared almost ALL of their secrets with me, and at one time I was this person's only and CLOSEST friend. Then over just the littlest of things, this person can just pretend that i DO not exist, like i am just a stranger and a figment of their imagination, like u just throw it ALL away like gum.

I feel like an idiot, sharing my most deepest thoughts with ANYBODY. I usually do NOT do that shit. Because if I let u pick my brain, then u mean something MORE to me then ANYBODY, real talk. I usually don't do that because I know how people are and one day they can just use it as their secret weapon against you. I keep a tight circle and to have u in it should be a honor in my book. Cuz honestly i do not understand how this can hurt me so deeply.

Today a person, that I thought at one point was a REAL CLOSE friend, walked past me like I was stranger today. Like literally no eye contact or nothing, like I was nothing more then a lost memory holding them back. Like I was Patrick Swayze and she was Demi Moore, walking through me like I was some type of spirit. And for some reason that hurt, because I did SO much for this person.

I helped this person get through a tough time in their life, and I was that supporting shoulder and their back bone to get through any type of problem in their life. I thought that is what it takes to be a GOOD FRIEND. I guess not, I guess I am not suppose to get something like that back at me. I guess that if I was down I shouldnt expect a call from this person, or a shoulder to cry on, because FML right?

I guess thats what i get for opening up to people and trusting them with my feelings. Because in the end they will throw that shit RIGHT BACK at u a smear it right on your face. Thats the reason why i never really had a lot of friends because a lot of people in this world are snakes. I try to surround myself with people that can help me and insprie me, but i always end up surrounding myself with bull shit, just my fucking luck.

So I am just gonna throw up the middle finger and let it linger from now one..



"fuck all y'all...I don't need nobody..."

Guess whose playing FREDDY?!? (Review & Spoilers)



Saw Nightmare on Elm Street last night, it wasn't bad it, it wasn't good, it was just ehh. Hollywood is always doing remakes because they are running out of ideas so this movie is not the exception. I haven't really seen the original films so I don't know the original characters to a degree.

However I will say that THIS Freddy..



will ALWAYS be Freddy Krueger to me.

The story is that several teenagers are tormented by Freddy Krueger in their dreams, when they sleep. When he kills them in their dreams, he kills them in reality. Pretty much the same premise as the original story.

The man who plays the new Freddy in this version is Jackie Earle Haley, yall might also know him as Rorschach from Watchmen. He did an alright job, but he really didn't do the original justice. Dude didn't even change his voice, every time he talked, he STILL sounded like Rorschach. Even with his face, he doesn't really convince me that he is Freddy Krueger, he kinda looks like Freddy's old ass grand father.




The killing scenes were pretty decent through I can admit that. One of my favorite killing scenes in that movie was when Freddy killed the dude in his jail cell, and the dude's cell mate watched him die and then started screaming "I DIDN'T KILL HIM! I DIDN'T KILL HIM!" then when dude is already dead he is then seen hanging in Freddy's lair barely living, and then Freddy says to him, "You know that your brain is still functioning for 7 minutes after you lose conciseness?..well we got 6 more minutes for play time.." and then the dude screams. I can't lie that part I kinda admit sent chills down my back a little bit.

However, everything else started to become to predictable. This film also lacked character development. It just seemed like every time we got to get to know a character, Freddy would just pop up and kill them. Then it just became a pattern, you fall asleep, Freddy will pop up, fuck with you a little bit, then either A. You wake up or B. He kills you, got kinda boring after a while.

We also got to see Freddy's back story and how he became the way he is. Which was pretty interesting I guess. But all in all if you want to be scared and want to cuddle with your significant other, then I guess this movie is for you. If not, then just wait for the 'unrated' edition when it comes out at your nearest redbox.
