My Boy Finally Jumped the Broom!!!

My best friend Derek and his long time girlfriend Minette got married over the weekend. So i figured the best way for me to share my pics was via this blog. You should be able to right click the select "save picture as" to download these for yourself (for all my non-technically savvy friends.


They had the rehersal dinner at the Buckeye Hall of Fame and all I can say is O-H-I-O!!! It was a great time. I saw people and friends that I haven't seen in ages! The only way I can describe the feeling is to compare it to going to a class reunion.

The reception was sooo much fun. it was sho' nuff a party and I was (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) a little sore from all that dancing the next morning!!!


I'll add more pics as I get them from people...I'll also try to add captions as well. Until then, enjoy!!!

Monica (bride's sister and one of the Maids of Honor) and myself (or is it Me or I). Mimi (the bride's other sister and the other Maids of Honor and bride's maid Kelli)

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Ivan Reese is holding the garter!!!

Back @ It

this will be short because i have a soccer game in a few minutes and i have yet to throw my gear into my bag.

anyway, we've made it to Round 4 and at this point my primary goal is to win 1 round!

so, w/o further delay:

Bonus cut
this was going to be one of my original song posts today, but since the agent beat me to it, i was forced to substitute another song for it...

Still Sluggin' It Out

first, my apologies...i truly did underestimate the task of posting these things everyday! but, it's been worth it since folks are actually voting (unfortunately not for me) and that my opponent has been submitting his posts quite eagerly...but i'm sure we are not the only two fans that are this passionate, so i invite anyone who'd like to share anythig to join in!

anyway, Round 3...

And a Bonus from our buddy Greg:
" Doug allow me to gift the Bonus Joint today.

Alot of cats front on Hova...but on the real dude is the goat. From 1990 to 2008 the man has done nothing but improve and dominate. No Jay Z no Kanye. Why do I say that? Because it takes a hell of an MC to spit over a beat that may over shadow his talent. That's what's wrong with the game now, too many simple ass Nitty beats. But this cat has spit on joints by every relevant producer. Premo/Buckwild/Clark Kent/Timbo/9th Wonder/The 45 King/Track Masters/ and so on. Here he is 90 with Jaz-O"

For the Luv

so we ended Round 1 in a draw (7 - 7)...not surprising because we fundamentally fell in love with the same sound early on @ The Ohio State University. so as we discussed it the other night we agreed just to post 2 songs a day for all to enjoy. the option to vote will be there, but we realized we're doing this for the love of it - because of the memories of where we were when we first heard these songs (or artists) , because of the head nodding, because cipher circles it inspired, because they were the reasons we used to look forward to tuesday's and midnight sales...

anyway...

from The Agent:

"Blahzay blessed us with an anthem at the height of the East's reign gritty head banger. I remember hearin' this for the first time in NY and they play the sirens over it to let you know it was a heat seeker. Classic."

"Man MC Lyte had it all a dope voice/dope delivery/and she could pick a beat. Ahead of her time in 89."
